I would really like to ask why But I know why EDIT: Looked it up because I was bleakly curious and oh. It's just, a Renamon and Rika statue thing. Like, in no way sexualized. Okay that's not what I was expecting at all. In my defense, I thought it was going to be a situation like that recent Android 18 statue, or any of the Ultra Monster Girl statues that exist to piss me off. Apparently the Digimon statues save that only for the designs with actual boobs. That's almost restrained of them Burkion fucked around with this message at 17:45 on May 25, 2017 |

They were releasing Tamers characters with their partners and she and Ruki are two of the most popular characters from that show?

There was an Angewomon/LadyDevimon cat fight in S1, I can't pretend to be even remotely surprised.

It's still a sexy "Look at me!" pose, but it's nowhere near as bad as that Angewomon/Hikari partner set that came out a year or two ago. We get it, they've got boobs and butts, they don't need to do a Frank Cho / Milo Manara pose.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnNVB4_r4DE Is still too expensive but drat if ain't pretty. It also does credence to the idea that WarGreymon was designed with the toy in mind and not viceversa. Same with Metal Garurumon. Is going to be interesting to see how they work the rest of the Chosen Digimon.

The diecast parts are probably what's driving the price up, along with the construction and stability improvements they mentioned.

Eh, the quality of the plastic itself is usually more important than the size of the joints themselves, on figures like these.

 MetalGarurumon/Gabumon, with the original version on the right. Now this, this is a marked improvement on the original. Easily sold, here.

Metal Garurumon does look a thousand times better. What the actual gently caress do THOSE two digivolve into though? I mean, I'm glad we're getting a villain that's not just Black War Greymon, but

Look closely at Alphamon. He's clearly wearing parts of DORUmon as a cape. I have no idea for Diablomon. There's no parts of Keramon, Chrysalimon, OR Infermon visible at all.

Man I forgot he came from that little guy. Also Diaboramon just, Jesus Christ. Talk about a super unfriendly toy design. loving love it though. It also looks like it in no way shape or form will be able to stand up without a stand. Which is fine given his noodle limbs

It looks like he's designed to stand in combination with his weight and laying his hands flat. But hell, what does he evolve from???

His arms can prob be used to help support him, which I think pretty much all media shows him doing at some point anyway.

The only thing I can think of is that he might work like the MagnaAngemon/Seraphimon figure, where you have to turn him around to transform him. Maybe in conjunction with his shoulder pads doing some kind of magic stuff. Knees and arms could bend both ways possibly. Still not sure though because I don't know what the crap other shape he could go into that would fit his other forms.

Keramon has a whole other set of massively huge arms and his lower body is also tentacles. This thing is either going to have a terrible Keramon mode, or transform using witchcraft.

Maybe they're gonna redesign Keramon in some way to work with this? I CAN see what appears to be Keramon parts of some type under the hands, so presumably the hands will flip up, and... Ok, I'm honestly not sure.

 Okay this sheds a bit of light. He has Keramon's hands folded underneath his main ones, and the other side of them is colored his purple. Still not sure this is gonna look super great though.

Ah I was right They ARE Seraphimoning him That's unfortunate. He's going to look really good straight on though!

At least this one isn't trying to barely hide a second said of arms immediately behind the main one, like the Seraphimon toy did. Man, the American original toys from back in the day were not super great.

The worst part of it was you couldn't even give him like, FOUR ARM MODE or something cool like that. Not without it looking really sad and weird and not in a good way. Like the worst conjoined twins ever.

Any time you are both a shell former and a parts former, you did something wrong in your life. You did something WRONG. and of course these were the toys that I saw first. loving Hell no wonder I didn't like season 2. The Greymon to Metal Greymon figure was actually pretty nice all things considered. Hollow as gently caress, but as a kid I always loved the fact that you put a helmet on a dinosaur that was already wearing a helmet.

Sometimes partsforming is neccessary, I dunno. And the Patamon > Angemon evolver pretty much had to be a Shellformer. Re: partsforming, say what you will about Frontier, but I always thought the way they were able to get four distinct designs from the rearrangement and relocation of several parts from two different base toys (Agnimon and Vritramon) to pull off Human Hybrid, Beast Hybrid, Advance Hybrid, and Ancient warrior to be really clever. They really only did that for the spirits of Fire, Light, and Darkness, though.

See it works when it works. That's the key to any 'cheating' transformation. Like, Classics Voyager Optimus Prime. No one cares that his stomach grill is a fake and the real one is on his back. It looks good and it's not intrusive. Patamon to Angemon is, as you said, only ever going to be a shell former. That's just never not going to be a thing. And it could look pretty good too if they worked on it just right. That Silphymon shows what the worst side of parts forming AND shell forming looks like. Not only is it kind of lazy, it also doesn't help a goddamn thing.

Yeah you're right. https://actar.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/actars-reviews-196-spirit-digivolving-susanoomon/ God, Susanoomon was a GREAT toy though. Yeah, a good portion of KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon get left aside to turn into a giant gun, but you can't go wrong with a giant gun. Shame it had such limited distribution. Designed for Japan, but got cancelled, and only came out in limited numbers in Asia despite being solicited for the US.

 Also, you know what's always bugged me? When people get upset about the dub name Diaboromon. It is a literal translation of the Japanese name that also manages to dodge the censors. It's elegant and avoids all the usual complaints with dub name changes... and people still bitched about it. What I'm saying here is that the Digimon fandom is awful and unpleaseable.
