He really does need them to balance better. They'd go well with those crazy hyper extendable legs oh his.

Oh and you can bet your ass I'm still going to buy normal Alternative when he comes out

Agreed about the feet, though mine is one of the most stable plastic footed Figuarts I own.

I'm going to need to see good comparisons between AltZ and Alt, and feel they're different in a fairly obvious way, otherwise I'll be saving my pennies for all the other great Figuarts I need.

They aren't different though, in any significant way

Just some paint app differences and the lack of the prototype text down his ribs. I'll still buy it though!

As crazy as I am, I think it's well established that you're even crazier.

I meant if the paint differences are significant in my mind. Sounds like they're not going to be, so I'll save my money for the Contract Monsters.

Seriously here's the differences:

- Alt Zero has blue accents and silver cables, Alternative had orange with black
- Alt Zero has Prototype silver paint apps down the sides, Alternative doesn't

That's it

That's good. The Ryuki figuarts get boring after the first 2 or 3 once you realize their 20% identical.

[ryan]

I disagree. First, your numbers are off, they're probably more like 80% identical, and secondly, I find the distinct portions make them all fun and unique. But maybe that's just me.

I liked Alternative Zero, and they could have explored the character more. His story arc with Tiger was pretty interesting but ultimately, his and normal Alternative's relevance to the overall plot was being Tiger's bitch.

You're not alone. But would be nice if we got those Advent Monsters.

[ryan]

oh, agreed. I will definitely be buying any other Advent Monsters that get released. I've got all Ryuki releases so far, and I plan to get any others that come out. Except Alternative, as I've already got Alternative Zero.
