Just got my payment request for the Cyclone Joker reissue

Now I know DaiRiderRX is constantly reminded me to be careful that the kneecaps don't pop off and go missing (), but is there anything else I should know about the figure?

the hands are a pain to swap, the wrist guards are easy to lose, and the leg articulation isn't the same as what we've been getting now.

I think it's the fault of the Sentai line, Tiger and Bunny came out around the same time and they retained the diecast feet, I think for some reason Bandai is cheapening the Sentai Figuarts

Really? I figured they did not have diecast feet because they were just wearing spandex and not armor like the Riders do.

That might explain why Fourze and Meteor doesn't have diecast feet either, but then again if they were, the switching with the module sets would probably be a pain. But then again if that's the reasoning, then Gosei Knight should have had diecast feet, but I don't recall him having diecast feet.

Bandai has strayed away from diecast feet because its cheaper. We see select figures from time to time that still use them (Ryuki figures) but the sentai ones always get the shaft. As do alot of riders now. Im afraid that for the most part diecast feet are a luxury that we wont see often.

While die cast feet do help for balance, I'm not crying over the change to plastic. Most character's poses don't require the weight balance or are on stands, so it's not that big a problem.

Personally, I'm glad the old die-cast ankles are gone. When I as taking my Super Hero Time picture with BoukenRed and Kabuto, I was reminded of how stiff and line breaking they were.

I really like the die cast feet the Ryuki figures have, and think the lack of die cast fee is a detriment to the Den-O figures.

[Shin Henshin]

While the diecast ankles are nice, there are reasons why them slowly being factored out is a good thing.

No paint scrapping or chipping and no risk of really floppy or really tight joints mostly.
