I've heard Figma wrists are kinda flimsy, but I love that smooth hand swapping and little rack. I dunno how much more sturdy SHF wrists actually are, and I still don't think it'll ever be worth how frustrating some hand swapping can be with Figuarts.

Doesn't look like it to me. The old style wrists were two pieces split at the middle and held together by a pin. Ryugen is molded around the joint ring.

It does look like Ryugen may indeed have the new wrist system while the other two have the one of old. If that's the case, why give them the older ball jointed ones and let Ryugen (and presumably Gaim, Baron, and Zangetsu) the newer style?

Because these are pre-production images and not 100% indicative of the final product?

This is the kind of discussion that led to all the confusion and then anger when TaToBa first came out because all his promo pics and display figures originally used the more common diecast feet at the time, instead of the awful plastic ones he ultimately had.

Wait until Gaim and Baron are out or at the very least production samples are available, and the trend those two follow is almost certainly the same one you'll see with the other Armored Riders, exclusive or retail.

So last week, I was stressing over my figuarts kabuto and stronger being lost in the post because very other thing I ordered arrived on time but oddly the beetle riders were delayed.

Today though Stronger showed up almost a month after it was shipped! So now I'm hoping that Kabuto will arrive shortly too. With that I've now completed all available showa riders : DDDD bring on ZO and J! Though back on shipping, anyone in the uK have the problem where the tracking information never appeared for when the packaged reached the country? That's why I was so worried because the tracking for Stronger didn't update past leaving Tokyo,

I also had a shocker combatman with stronger and was wondering how many people here have troop builded the mook figuarts?

On topic with the wrists thing, so are they similar to what figma wrists are like atm? Doesn't that mean there's less articulation?

I hope TaToBa gets remade, I really want Eiji in my collection, the SICs are super expensive and if Birth is the best of a bad bunch then TaToBa must be total shit.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Was just speculating because I like boxes and really they could go either way with the Gaim Riders. Or some combination, so we'll get our answers in a little under a month.

TaToBa got release back in 2011. I think it will be a while before they renewal the post-2010 stuff. I think the riders figuarts from 2008 - 2010 have a bigger chance on getting renewal first.

Drooling over the idea of a renewal Kuuga Mighty.
