It's 2AM where I'm at so before I conk out I'm just gonna say that I'm a bit terrified at how they're gonna do Xross Saber. That paintwork is so intricately detailed I don't know how they'll be able to capture it. And I wouldn't be surprised if they jack up the price to 9000 JPY or something to justify producing such as intricate figure.

As for the Saber designs, they're all so very, very, very good. I remember when people said that they were so overdesigned when they first appeared, especially on the heels of Zero-One. But I think that was relative TO Zero-One's appearance. When you get down to it, Saber designs, while more complex than Zero-One's in a lot of ways, are still kinda on the simple side of things, especially when you compare them to designs like Ex-Aid, Gaim, and Build (all three which I love very much still). I mostly remember this 'cuz I got into a 'Twitter spat' where the person I was talking to seemed to misunderstand what I was saying about them and called me out for saying 'contradictory' statements like how they were 'complex but still simple'. It's honestly at the same sort of complexity that Ghost (ironically enough) had. And honestly, I'd argue that OOO has more complex designs than Saber. |

XCross Saber also just kinda screams Tamashii exclusive doesn't it? With such an intricate painting process needed, I can kind of imagine Bandai deciding to just make very few copies and break even.
Even with the made-to-order format of P-Bandai, I can see them capping the number of reservations even more; so why not just release it during a convention ? |

I imagine that in 5 or 10 years time we'd have the proper technology needed to fully replicate Xross Saber's intricate artwork onto a Figuart.

Again, they don't NEED to 100% match the suit. They still are, and always have taken artistic liberties when it comes to SH Figuarts - especially when it comes to paintwork.

Different topic, how do you guys think they'll go about with Durendal's Kaji? I imagine that they'll make one base handle and have it be swappable with the long trident mode and short sword mode with a hexagonal/square peg, with a special blade to show the 'activating time powers/swapping weapon modes'. 'Cuz like, I don't think they'd make a short version of the trident blade, and I also don't think that it'll be possible to do the side-switching gimmick at that size.

Xross is a unique situation, but we're long past Fourze Fusion States. I've no doubt we'll see the cloud paint of the suit someway somehow. The obtainability of a Xross Saber SHF is the question, though. Quote:
Tho, I won't rule out the possibility of them including two versions of Kaji, much like how Burning Jin was handled. |

Like I'm imagining them using a peg instead of the actual 'blade tip' parts to make it more secure and to avoid it wiggling around. Would they have that sort of accessory, and a version that's more accurate to the actual Kaji when Durendal's pulling the blade out and reinserting it? |

But what if you want to have Durendal posed with the Kaji blade out when he's using his time abilities? 'Cuz like, I don't think they'd be able to make it work the same way as the DX toy.

The hole is cross-shaped so that the shortsword version can insert itself in without having any sort of sculpt of a peg. I worry about paint chip tho. |

Xross Saber SHF will probably just use stickers like Drive Type Formula! Problem... solved...
