>>10252557the old figuarts still look alright, especially if you just mentally think of them as trying to replicate the slender art style from Spirits.
For as much as Bandai likes to never paint the body stripes on Nigo the right color, they did always give him a unique head sculpt. PB Old 2 is unique from Old 1/Sakurajima, Custom Cyclone Old 2 is further unique from the PB. I guess its their strange way of depicting some type of effort, or maybe a half-assed apology for the unnecessary silver ears on New 2.
