Just got in SS Den-O.

Gotta say, the line continues to make each release's predecessor look really poor in-comparison. Original SHF Den-O was so lanky and weirdly-proportioned.


The armor-swap ability also feels very nice once you actually remove the parts necessary. Everything clips in but not too tightly and the head is actually on a sliding clip at the base of the neck, so you can't just pop the head off. You need to slide it out of its track after taking off the chest armor.

I'd say the only downside to its structural stability is that one of the thigh panels can loosen and fall off when you move the leg, but it's not falling off just by looking at it so I'd say overall this was a success in terms of adding a form change gimmick to this line.

Personally, I'd love if they'd offer the eventual Rod/Axe Form set both as an SS release and as an add-on set like Beast's mantles for people who don't want multiple Den-Os but would like the armor, weapons and any specific hands that go with those forms. It sounds like easy money to me. They most likely won't do that, but it'd be nice.
