But looking more closely now I see he has new forearm pads. So it likely is a new base suit after all.

I don't even get how that new helmet would even work on the old base head. The crescent is part of the original sculpt. This new headpiece - the flared horns - are clearly of the same sculpt on the new head. There's no way it could just slide over it. The new mouth and facial details also give it away. The back of the head, sure, that looks like it behaves like all of the other ACs thus far.

It's a new body Jordan

I don't even know how anyone could possibly think it's not a new body underneath. Or, modified. For one, the belt lacks the Musou saber hilt or hole for it. The forearms are new, and the new head crest is MOULDED onto the old one, which is a different shape. The moustache is also clearly moulded on.

The only thing that is the same about this figure's head and the old one is the eyes. That's not saying they didn't reuse 80% of the original AC Gaim's body, if the head and forearms are the only things different though.

That said, I absolutely LOVE the Kachidoki Arms design. I stopped getting the AC figures in favor of just waiting for Figuarts (especially since it's so difficult to get the AC, and it's been really easy to grab the three Figuarts), but I feel a bit of regret for not grabbing the AC of Kachidoki Arms.

Well, I never did like the AC's so now wait for the masterpiece of a Figuarts.

Seeing as we're not likely to get Gaim Banana Arms in SHF format, my options are kind of limited.

Pity they're all so fraggin' difficult to get.

If they do make Gaim Banana Arms, then it will probably be a Tamashii web exclusive.

I think we're far more likely to get Ichigo Arms, though.

Well it at least happened in the series, so the chances of getting it are higher than say, Gridon Melon Arms.
