I got mine today, can't compare it with the old one since I never had one but the articulation is awesome, great to use for action poses if you draw. accessoriewise I wish they could have squeezed in an extra head like the old one had and perhaps an effects part, the pressure cannon preferably but for the price I guess it is acceptable, hopefully the will release other Guyvers, crossing my fingers for Guyver 3, that would be pretty sweet.
