>>8832801I don't own any of the figuarts running soft parts (assumedly its on things like Zero and Taiga for the Protectors), so I can't speak to how well it may last. Bandai has had problems with soft part discoloration, plasticizer evaporation/updraft causing paint bubbling, and other problems in the past, so PVC may not be the entire right way to go. Soft parts also tend to become fragile with age, but we all know that.
>>8832805Seven's pupils were dotted in the center of the eyes for the first batch, rather than the inner corners of the eye as they were supposed to. Bandai did a stealth reissue while they were still running the red logo, and then corrected the issue with the blue tag reissue when Ace was coming out Check image - the one where he looks more cross-eyed (left with the messy beam lamp) is the first and wrong edition. The torso problem is hardwired to the figure though. Since Seven's torso lines expand all the way to directly under the chest panels, you'd expect that when you arch his back, the line wouldn't break. That's how Ultra Act always did it. Figuarts pulled the dumbass move of having the arrow printed on the chest piece (just like Ultra Act), but rather having the line on the torso continue up and under the chest to create the illusion of an unbroken line, they just had another arrow on the torso anyway, so when you lift the chest/arch the back, Seven grows a new arrow and the arrow on his chest links to nowhere.
>>8832807the Man side of Arts might be dead, so who knows. B type would be welcome, but we haven't seen a prototype and the Fake Ultraman prototype we did see was shelved.
