SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Kabuto Renewal Full Comparison & Release Details

It looks nice. Thinner and less bulky than the original.

So, who wants to buy my original SH Figuarts Kabuto? I also have Gatack. Anyone?

Depends on pricing, and keep in mind I'm a poor wretch

So that means that even if Bluefin gets him in stock…he'll be about 70-80$ by the time local vendors get him in stock…fantastic.

I guess walking the path to heaven is an expensive one...

Is it? Because it looks thicker than the original to me.

Like, in a good way, but still.

It looks nice and all, but how are they justifying that price tag? Especially compared to some other recent S.H. Figuarts releases, the price doesn't make any sense.

If the left one is the new one,then I'm sold.I like the thicker,more stout version.The thinner one is too thin in my opinion.The thicker one feels more human to me,not like a lanky alien or something.

It looks better, I guess, though I'm very used to seeing the slimmer figure, so the new one looks odd to me.

My question is, why the crap are they remaking old figures when we STILL don't have any of Kiva's regular forms? Or Saga?

No kidding.

There are aspects I like of both. I really like the new head sculpt and general improved details of the new but I like the old one's slim frame.

Dr Kain · 11-07-2013, 05:41 PM

Yeah, I definitely like the new one better, but if they aren't going to give us all of the other Kabuto riders in the new style, it isn't worth getting. I'd rather have all of my riders from one series look consistent.
