>>6276204I wound up with two, ultimate and I got a chance to buy the first series, both on clearance. Reason I'm saying that is I really like the series 1 armor design. The "popped collar" works really nice with helmets, BUT it causes a lot of problem with certain hair, especially when turning the head. The series 2 armor is much better, no collar and far less restrictive (this might be why they dropped the collar design). Of course longer ponytails will probably have problem with the studs on the back (Macy's official hair is a long one like the hair seen in the CMF female genie and dinosaur hunter lady) but nothing is perfect.
