SH Zeronos came today, and the Den-O five pack should be here tonight.

Gotta say, this guy is really freaking fun to play with. Odd double-shoulders aside all his articulation makes sense. Regular old universal hips, ball-jointed ankles. I wish my Figuarts CycloneJoker had this practical articulation. He also looks one hell of a lot better than I expected. He's nearly as nice visually as a figuart. I'd say if figuarts get a ten in looks, this guy get's an eight. Seven point nine at least.

So, since the SH is about the interactivity, does he have 2 separate weapons or does he have one weapon that you have to transform like in the show?

It's two seperate, but very nicley painted and detailed, weapons. But since the sword grows like nuts in the show I think it works out better. He actually has three versions. The sword, the two-part crossbow (not sure why it's two-parts) and tiny unpainted versions that peg onto his belt that, even without paint, look quite cool. (they'll look better once I paint them. :3)

The only problem is his gripping hands are... eh. I actually find the calm hands hold the crossbow better while the grippers manage a decent job on the sword. Wish he had an un-jointed gripping hand like the TRU set. Vega form is really frigging cool, very unrestricted movement even though Vega form isn't a very acrobatic guy in-show. He looks like a pillar. Also thanks to those non-stupid hips he's so much fun to pose. Like seriously, I'd actually say wrists-aside (they're not ball-jointed, not that he suffers for it though) he beats a figuart just because the hips aren't back asswards. Also the amount of die-cast is, admittedly more than I usually like, but feels great. Even his belt buckles are die-cast.

I can't wait to pick up Den-O tonight.

Since it's been a while since SH figures have been brought up, the Den-O and Kiva SH figures are very close to Figuarts level articulation and quality. There are some shortcomings, like Split Lip says, they're 7.9-8 out of 10, but they're pretty nice.

And with Kiva, they're the only way to get any of his regular forms. But there still is no Saga figure.

Honestly, while it's aesthetically behind figuarts, Zeronos is more fun for me. It's about the hips and durability. No squeaking, terrifying balljoints, no nonsense hip joints, just a general sense of "yeah, this'll last a while." If it had regular gipping hands for the weapons and compound buy eyes, I'd not even be giving the Figuarts a second glance. I'll probably still pick up Figuarts Zeronos, but I'm not getting the Den-O ones unless I see sword form for an amazing price.

[Matrixbeast]

Honestly, the biggest shortcoming for the SH for me is that, outside of Den-O and Kiva, they're all terribly out of scale.

Yeah, only the Den-O and Kiva ones, to me, are comparrable to Figuarts.
