The proportions are a little better and he doesn't have the huge shoulders.

I'm not sure if I'm going to spring for another Black (the original was my first Figuart and still one of my favorites), but I'm definitely getting Battle Hopper.

See, I just don't see it. It looks like the exact same figure to me. I guess I need to actually see a bigger picture and one that is not darkened because even printing that page out did nothing for me.

I have the original Black with no regrets. I will still pick up this 2.0 because it's incredible. And the fact they are releasing Battle Hopper again is a wonderful "up yours" to the people asking $200+ for the original on eBay. The Figuarts one is more expensive than the larger 1/6 scale one! Seriously? Ugh.

Wish Shadow Moon were getting a 2.0, too. Hopefully, RX and Acrobatter will get the same treatment soon, and while we're in the Black/RX series, maybe they could finally give us Roborider with Roboizer and Biorider with Makjabber.

You seriously can't see the hips/crotch difference?

Bet people that paid out the nose for these guys are starting to regret it right about now.

I can see that he looks more leathery. That's pretty show accurate!

At least for those who don't like it and have the original , it saves money. Can't be mad at that.

Exactly. If you pay attention to the details it's quite a bit different. And while I've never had a problem why my Black (which I paid 3000 yen for some time back) seeing this thing makes it apparent that this is a definite upgrade.

I know I am and not because I paid 10000Y off Mandarake for BH, but because I paid 100Y for one that did not come with Black's hands to hold the handles. As such, I've been using AkibaRed's gripping hands. I'll probably just sell off the BH I have once I get the brand new one so I can get at least a few dollars back.

We don't need a Shadow Moon 2.0. The one we got was made in 2011 using the more standard style.

No idea on the two forms, but RX is getting a 2.0 treatment as well and it sounds like Kabuto will be as well (as the BF guy did not deny him when we were talking about Black 2.0).

Well that I do when I see a comparison shot next to each other, so now I do see a lot of differences. Now I am sold on the 2.0 version.

Why on earth would they bother with a Kabuto 2.0 after having just reissued the figure? While I would appreciate a 2.0 I don't necessarily need one.

[Dr Kain]

It depends on how he looks and if they decide to do everyone else in that style. All I have is Kabuto and if they plan to do 2.0 versions of his entire cast, I'll rebuy him just for consistency sake.
