what are your thoughts on the new 2b
I'm not much of a reviewer, and really am only a casual figure collector so my experience with them in general is fairly limited, but I can try. Comparing the two, the original one is obviously a more solid figure, as she is not meant to come apart at all. The updated one tends to come apart somewhat easily at the waist, which makes sense considering she is supposed to, but it can get a bit annoying trying to pose her but she keeps breaking in half. However this happens with the 2P variant as well, so it seems to just be a quirk of how it's built. I've found that the new 2B doesn't stand as well on her own without a stand, but that seems to be the case with the 9S and A2 figures as well, and for most people should not be a problem. Visually I think the updated one looks very good, and despite the waist issues she has a better range of articulation.
