SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Kiva

One of two Figuarts that I've ordered weeks ago that arrived today. And this figure is more popular than Emperor Kiva and I can see why. Emperor Kiva and Dark Kiva shares the same body and sets of hands with a different head and weapons. He has a crimson blood color with black, silver, and some green on him. His accessories are three pairs of exchangable hands, two cape parts, the Zanvat Sword, and Taiga's Jacorder. Also, Kivat the 2nd is removable from Dark Kiva.
Note: To anyone that gets this figure, his feet are not diecast at all.
The designs in Kiva are pretty cool. Though I am surprised that they haven't even made regular Kiva yet. Why does Bandai jump around to every other series? I am still waiting for a good Chalice. And I hope they don't mess up the proportion, or exclusive.
Some of your poses could be a bit better, though I understand that it could be difficult without proper stands.
What's the difference between diecast and non-diecast feet? My only SHF is Gills.
You never know what Bandai does. They even made Skull (with a Skull Crystal head) and New Den-O (trilogy version with a kintaros and Urataros weapon form) again.
Yeah, I know.
Well, diecast feet would help out alot on posability on the ground, so they don't fall flat every time. You could even make them stand on one foot if you wanted to, depending on what Rider you have with diecast. And I had a bit of a hard time balancing both Emperor and Dark Kiva.
Gills have a tendency to fall over with small shakes so I guess he doesn't have diecast feet. I bought some di:stages for him for that purpose though. ^ ^;
