In the end I grabbed Tacit Ronin, and came REALLY close to getting Gypsy as well. I already have the battle damaged version of her however, and opted to not drop 20 dollars on basically the ship and interchangeable hands. It looks like they did a slight upgrade to the chain sword too, as the peg on the sword that plugs into the hand looks more sturdy and is longer. It boasts about new articulation on the packaging, so I'm curious, is it a drastic upgrade from the original Gypsy Danger figures? If so...I may just end up picking it up.

The majority of the new sculpting is fairly minimal and really just the fine details, however the pose is drastically increased apparently. The hips for example now have the added accuracy of those pistons and have a wider more accessible pose range, the knees are apparently double hinged now, bicep swivel, and the feet have a hinge part way through the foot not just at the heel. I don't have one but from reading/watching about it that's what's new, it's also a bit taller though that actually detracts to me for some reason. I'd say all in all unless Gipsy is your favorite Jaeger if you already have the original or the battle damaged version of that as a good stand in then this figure isn't really a must get, if Gipsy is however your absolute favorite then it's a good upgrade.
