If they're revealing 3 new Heisei releases then Zi-O and Kiva may as well be locked.

The 3rd I'm betting will be either Faiz or OOO. Of the 3 still outdated riders, Fourze still holds up the best and has the modular gimmick still going for him with the Astro Switch sets. Faiz and OOO don't have any modular gimmicks attached to them making it easier to update since the collector base doesn't have the excuse of "Well OG Fourze has all the switch sets to go with him while SS Fourze has only Rocket and Drill."

Someone in a Discord server said "I don't see Kiva." I said "because he's literally the only rider whoa base form never got a Figuarts release." Lol

What's the issue with the OOO figure? I've never seen any problem with it from what I've seen. OOO is my personal favorite Rider though, so if I got a figure in the near future it'd be of him, but if there are issues I'm just not aware of, a heads up is appreciated.

Apparently it has cheap plastic, horrible ankle joints, all combined with the weird proportion issues that the Figuarts line had prior to Gaim.

It's an absolutely abysmal release. Gummy feet and hands, lanky inaccurate proportions, ankles that hardly work correctly, loose hip that make Tamashii Stages necessary over time. It's just a generally very substandard release. Now that Wizard is finally getting a Seihou release, OOO is easily the worst of the old molds that needs to be redone. It's just completely off and inaccurate. TaToBa came out over 7 years ago and was repainted and remolded a number of times bringing the core weakness of the mold along with it. Some later releases suffer less like PuToTyra or Super TaToBa. But it's a mold that's in desperate need of of renewal. This is coming from someone who owns every release of it.

I would recollect the whole OOO line again if they redid them. I really disliked the head sculpt for TaToBa, the limited ankle and wrist joints and those awkward splayed open hands. I would've loved more aggressive 'claw' hands that he usually poses with.

Okay, so, small aside as a huge OOO fan who likes toys and isn't too deep into KR collecting yet: does this mean I'd more or less get more value out of OCC than Figuarts for OOO at the moment? (sticking to the more affordable OCC releases on the aftermarket, of course)

If all else fails, there is always this if you are up to the challenge.

I'll concur on the quality control nightmare that is Figuarts OOO. I bought it on the aftermarket since it was relatively inexpensive, and my expectations were low. The first time I gently moved the knee joint, it snapped in half. I'd recommend waiting and purchasing the Shinkocchou Seihou. I'd be surprised if we didn't see him this year.

Shame. If the Figuarts really is that bad, I guess I will just go for the Figurerise one. Not anything new to me since I already own a few Figurerise, I was just kind of avoiding it for OOO since I wasn't a huge fan of the stickers and expected to get a better figure out of the Figuarts one, guess not.
