Which one should I get?

[Lockdown72]

Hey all, I'm thinking about picking up a third Shinki, and I've got two choices that I want. I'll probably pick both up eventually, but I can only get one at the moment. I can't decide between Vitilus or Pomock, and I'd like to know which one would be better to get first.

Vitilus pros:
-Lots o' guns
-Cow type
-designed to combine with Tigris (who I own)
-Funny alternate expression

Cons:
-more expensive of the two
-I might have to keep her "assets" in her box all the time because of parents, sister's annoying friends

Pomock Pros:
-cheaper of the two
-Squirel type
-can act as Howling's little sister (both designed by blade)
-funny alternate expression

Cons:
-Light armor, doesn't have as much stuff
-not sure how the MMS ver. 3 body works

Vitulus isn't too much more expensive, and has a ton more parts.

(which is more incriminating? Having a loli, or having a 'grown up' female figure?)

[Caterwaul]

Vitulus sets my teeth on edge. I say go for the squirrel.

3rd body isnt functionally to much different from the 1st body. Only thing you really have to worry about is the 'vest' style chest which causes a couple compatibility issues with other shinkis.

[Xehn]

If you're looking for lots of bits to use with other Shinki, Vitulus is the way to go, as Pomock's are... for Pomock only.

[Chaos Incarnate]

Only for Master. I mean, Pomock.

[Deviant Anomaly]

You can't go wrong with either one. I think if you're used to the heavily-armored Shinkis though, you'll enjoy Vitulus more.

If you can find a proto version of Pomock, I'd recommended purchasing it over the official release. No size or compatability issues then.

Well, I want Vitulus mainly because I honestly prefer guns over swords, yet I've got only one gun between two Shinkis; Howling's bone BFG, which looks good only when mounted on her armor, and so poseability is limited with it. Vitulus has a lot of guns she could share with Howling, plus she's got he really large cannon with the missile, and on top of all that she can combine with Tigris' stuff as well. It's just that if I tell my folks I want to buy her, they'll probably see her most notable trait as being the "calf" type

But Pomock is still cheaper overall, plus she reminds me SO much of the hyper-squirel from Hoodwinked.

However, after thinking about it, I'm gonna see what Vitulus costs over on HLJ, and if it's around $50 I'll probably buy her. She's an older shinki type compared to Pomock, and might not be around much longer (Tigris is already Backordered there) for sale, while Pomock just got released.

[PrimeGuy]

As much as I personally hate that shinki, I have to agree.

Get the older one ya want first, Its solid logic.

[Lockdown72]

After Checking on HLJ, it seems Vitulus is currently in the same price range Tigris was, which is around $50-$54 bucks including SAL shipping (it's the cheaper option, I'm not paying $20 to have a figure sooner and be able to track it when I'll get the figure either way), so I'll be getting her over my other choice, Pomock. I'll still get Pomock eventually, though, and I actually plan to pick up some of those extra weapon kits for Armored Core robots for custom Transformers (I need one that has twin chainguns in the future) when I do as well since I'm gonna spend less on a Shinki then and the kits are relatively cheap.

Now the trick is getting my dad to order through HLJ again. He wasn't happy about how you had to pay them through paypal manualy instead of it doing everything for you like on eBay, but I might be able to sweet talk him into doing it again.

...you don't *have* to use paypal with HLJ...
