>>9057840>I prefer the first release' matte gold over the new shiny oneYou don't. The first release not only looked awful, but it also had an oxidizing(?) issue where the gold would gradually turn into a greenish colour.
The new release doesn't feel like he'd have a problem with chipping, and actually looks like the premium #300 figure he should've looked like to begin with. If anything, I'd worry about the gold gradually fading; thighs on mine look a bit silvery in compared to the rest of the figure.
I don't know if it's my Figma specifically, but I remember seeing somebody else's Gilgamesh having the same slightly faded thighs (but everything else looks fine). It's too early to know how Gilgamesh will survive over time, but I would recommend buying him as long as it's the newer version.
