It's the DIRECTION that Bandai is taking the Shinkocchou Seihou line to. The announcement of the SHF SS Den-O proved (so far) that Bandai was doubling down (or rather,

tripling down

) on this new joint system, after implementing it on SHF SS OOO Tatoba and SHF SS Gatakiriba. As THE prestige line of 1:12 action figures that Bandai offers, we can safely say that this decision is going to be implemented on ALL future SHF SS releases, and probably regular SHFs as well.

Now, THIS is the problem. Instead of isolating the damage and put a stop loss on their portfolio by only committing one blunder, they decided instead to commit the same blunder two(!) more times. The problem is not releasing a figure with super fragile joints. The problem is releasing a figure with super fragile joints, NOT learning from the blunder, AND committing the same blunder on two other releases. So, highly anticipated unreleased SHF SS lines (to me), like Ex-Aid, Faiz, Gaim, and God forbid,

Ryuki

, almost certainly will use this new joint system. We can all imagine how epic the fail will be.

Well, let's sit back, and just wait and see.
Let the final arbiter, time, answer this question:
"How many broken joints does it take to change Bandai executives' minds?"

I agree with everything you said about the future of Seihou line. I have a bad feeling that Ryuki line will have breakage like ooo if the same joints are used.

After reading about the ooo breakage I look at my ooo figuart and it feels weak and light like something could break right away. I lost a lot of faith in bandai with this whole ooo issue and IDK if I want to buy any other ooo form release. Thanks for letting us know how bad the joints are on the ooo figure.
