It's really just the hips that bug me. With Wargreymon and Beelezbmon (and I assume Omegamon... God I still want him but just can't afford it) you had no problems posing them. You want them to do it, they can. But Dukemon's upper thighs and waist are just too pointed for that. Which is the proportions thing you mentioned. I see how it would have been difficult to do while still being faithful to the design... But dangit I would have forgiven it for better hips.

I still need to break out the stand, though. Might be able to get a decen jousting pose with that. So far all I've been able to do are cool standing there relaxed or standing there threatening or just plain old standing there poses.

I need a Parasimon for him to violently stab. That would be awesome
Anyway, I decided hold off on getting Wargreymon (Because I just didn't like how he turned out) and Beelzemon (I like the J names fine, but Beelzebumon just sounds stupid, IMO) because I heard lots of people had issues with him for one reason or another.

Omegamon is nice, but his hips are loose (I've managed to keep him in pose, but I do wish they were tighter at times).
Like I said though. I probably still have another week before I see Dukemon at my door, so I can't really comment on him.

What's everyone's opinion on the Medabots? I would love to see some more released.

Figure wise, I wouldn't know. I don't own any. Though Medabee looks great.
However, I personally would prefer for them to hurry up and release Rokusho so that other characters (Particularly, ArcBeetle, the only Metabot I actually want to own right now), and would love for them to further explore characters and series beyond the Mega Man franchise.

Rokusho is released .

And I've got a Metabee review on the site if you're interested in checking it out, great figure.

LOTS of diecast in both Metabee and Rokusho though, which is a reason I love them. Don't own any of the Megaman D-Arts, but from what I've heard they're diecast free, which is unfortunate.

[Matrixbeast]

Ah. I didn't know Rokusho had gotten released, but like I said, there's only one Medabot that I want, and that's ArcBeetle. He was somewhat, kind of, semi important, so he just might get released over that stupid cat or Metabee's upgraded form...Hopefully.

I don't really hold diecast as important to the figure unless they need increased weight in the feet for balance (For example, ArcBeetle's GIGANTIC head crest and chest spike/arc cannon would need some kind of counterbalance such as diecast feet). The Mega Man D-Arts don't need diecast and thus don't utilize it.

In all honesty, I don't even care for the Mega Man D-Arts...Medabots and Digimon are the only two franchises I have any interest in...

Unfortunately it seems we're in the minority. Arcbeetle would be badass, but Sumilidon is my dream figure.

Got my D-Arts Dukemon.
The shield is wildly unwieldy, but I haven't really gotten a chance to pose and display him.
Aside from his derp eyes, he's pretty cool, and the eye thing isn't a problem unless you get up in his face and look closely.

Sorry for the late response, but no mine seem pretty tight.

Getting more chance to screw around with Dukemon, the shield is still unwieldy as hell, but I've figured out how to work around it. I think my only problem is the head ribbon thing. It actually weighs back his head enough so that lots of poses with him looking down are nebulous (On my figure, that is) because it will just pull his head right back to a neutral position.

That said, I'm in love with his cape. It's really what Omegamon should have done.
