    I mean you literally just gave the major reason why. For collectors, figures looking the way they should is usually more important then neglible amounts of articulation.

    Quick comparison of two figures of the same character released relatively close together:

    Revoltech’s offering:
    CB1FA4E7-1170-41B6-AC42-D9C802E5FC3A.jpeg

    Figma’s offering:
    85E82C6C-5EB5-4678-AD63-1A3712315442.jpeg

    It’s pretty clear which is the vastly superior figure and it’s the same for most comparisons. In Kaiba’s case it’s also a stretch to say the Vulcalog has much more articulation then the Figma. Kaiyodo’s figures are consistently weaker then rival companies.

    They said this will be their first toy to use an ABS body and lack revol joints and PVC. It did say they are drawing inspirations from American Comics includinh Pat Lee. No size confirmed yet.

    it's inspired by MP-10 too, the diagonal lines on the grill as well as the crotch and upper thigh detail, head too maybe.

    Seems like the release date has been moved to August which makes sense, I was wondering why he wasn’t available for pre-order yet.

    Does Revoltech have something for the Dreamwave design? Because the last Revoltech G1 Prime was that, and Dreamwave is the first thing to pop into my head looking at this.

    This I want. I have the reissue of the original revoltech toy and it has some issues, But this one looks a lot better IMHO.

    Unfortunately, the long, and too square-looking abdomen kinda kill this for me, as otherwise, he looks a lot of fun. But I don't want the only poses this looks good in to be with his torso crunched.
