I'll stand by for a W renewal because of how inaccurate he looks and how annoying his cuffs are when switching out his hands.

On the one hand, yes.

However W looked inaccurate when it was brand-new, and the flaws were flaws back then as they are now. Wizard came out after or around Ryuki if I recall and looks noticably lower quality than Ryuki, for example.

A better example for the situation you give would be Kuuga or Agito, yes they are not accurate but they still evoke the designs they're based off of, really just looking more "anime-ified" than outright blatantly inaccurate details.

Now, I know I'll hear all kinds of grief from you experts & veterans, but seeing so many of us still missing Knight in our collection, and given the recent release of Femme, I see a reason to at least give him another shot.

He just needs a re-release of the original, not a renewal. Nothing wrong with the Ryuki Figuarts.

I think that's what he meant. And the both of you could not be more correct. It's absurd how hard Knight is to find despite being such a prominent character. (more prominent then Ryuki himself!) I already have Ryuki and Zolda, I just need that punk bitch Knight to finish off the coloured-undersuit trifecta.

Yeah, OOO (TaToBa at least) is leaps and bounds worse than Double. Double may be inaccurate, but at least it's of typical Figuarts plastic quality. OOO is a gummy mess.

All this talk of a Knight reissue brings to mind something I said a while back- I'll finally get my hands on one for a decent price (which I did), and they'll turn around and announce a reissue.

That's what I've been afraid of...

Hey, at least if it happens you won't have to kick yourself over it. I dropped 90 and shipping to get mine. And his box is all banged up to boot.

I'm really glad I never got OOO, because W is off-balance, has awful inconsistent finishes, uneven joint tolerances, and uneven plastic quality. OOO must be a nightmare.

I have to agree since the hands on W were pretty annoying. It was worst on Fang Joker seeing how sharp his body can be sometimes. The hands on Extreme felt even worst for me. If they give the same treatment that they did with Hibiki and Kabuto with W then it would be amazing. The set of hands on Hibiki fit like glove. None of them feel too tight or lose to me.

I also bought SHF Amazon on Ebay for $50 since I couldn't find him on Mandarake earlier. $50 seems like a lot, but I guess it's better then nothing. It's cheaper then pre-ordering the Jungler Set on NY. I don't care for the bikes at all really and I just need Amazon to finish my Showa collection. Not to mention he's my favorite Showa rider design next to the original two Kamen Riders and Black RX.
