Yeah Agito was largely undergated, but to me it's odd that it needed to be "fixed" at all. Seems kind of obvious that you'd want to undergate the pre-painted gold parts.
Also, are there any physical differences between the regular Kuuga and Decade-specific release? I saw both at the hobby store but just picked up the normal/initial release. |

Ah, cheers. That?s what I ended up doing anyway. I even did a matte coat on the forearms to match the actual costume, so I?m glad I dint go for the metallic one.

I've had Hibiki built for a few days now, just standing on my desk; and... man. He's certainly given competition by Rising Mighty but I think this might be my favourite FRS yet?? There are, for sure, frustrations I had with the kit -- well, one big one; the stickers. I don't know what they did to the ones used for the ankles and wrists but they have the worst adhesive ever and refused to stay down while I was applying them; I totally expect them to fall off at some point. More egregiously though, the silver stickers for his forearms are godawful, being imo off-colour and having an unclear application that made them look atrocious and crinkled by the end of it. And uh. And yet. DESPITE all that. I cannot stop looking at him? Those sticker issues are absolutely overpowered by the solid construction of the kit and whatever tricks they used for that plastic injection to get the body colour right because he just looks gorgeous to me! The head as well is absolutely perfect, as is his "Yo!" hand (the one I'm going to keep on forever I think, because again, I can't stop looking at it). I love this figure. I went in expecting a bunch of flaws - a couple of which were true - but came out loving it more than most my FRSes so far

Trust me, I positioned it in a very flattering angle -- mine's a little rough as well! I'm ultimately okay with it though because it's not like I'll be using it much, and I'm still bowled over that they actually included it to begin with

The wrist and ankle stickers are actually decals. I don't know why Bandai chose that path, unless they chose it deliberately for the transparent gradient for the forearms. (though why put the brown parts there as well I don't understand)
Hibiki was always going to be tricky. Easily one of the most complicated Rider designs with its multiple small details and colour gradients. I'm surprised Bandai even tried it TBH, and overall they dd a fantastic job. |

I get that they couldn't replicate its details entirely (nor the gold on the medals), but I really wish they'd at least done black stickers for the OOO Scanner. As is it looks really ugly and stands out a bunch

The effect part looks a little weird, but I think it will look pretty cool painted.
I was never a big fan of the effect parts in any of the FRS kits, but I've grown to like them a lot more. (great for other figures too) and wish more kits came with them now. I just don't really display model kits with effect parts.
