To be fair, I totally do. Regular Zangetsu Melon Arms is basically just Gaim Orange Arms with a different color scheme, a helmet I like less and a less iconic weapon. Melon Energy looks far more distinct, and, like with every Energy Rider, those soda eyes and armor are damn cool.

But it's cool dude, I think we're on the same level now. And quite honestly something like Web-exclusive shouldn’t even be a thing outside of limited repaints because while not intended it does limit the options of people outside of Japan. Everybody should be able to get a Melon Energy Zangetsu and not pay 100 bucks for it.

Everybody including Japanese collectors! Honestly the high price it fetches even in the Japanese aftermarket is I think a sign that it would have seen a lot of success as a retail release--not even popular designs released at retail like Kachidoki reach such heights. Even if it wasn't as much, the limited release was certainly restrictive even there. But oh well.

Anyway.

Agito looks great, as do all the Shinkocchou Seihou figures. Doesn't seem to come with much, but not having seen the show I'm not sure what he could have come with. Regardless it looks like a fantastic release.

I have one preordered, but I'm not getting it until like, November. So that's great. Then again hopefully by that time I'll have actually gotten to watching the show. Definitely looking good though.
