I still think it's a wash. Kohiru and Merienda (hereafter: K&M; I'm lazy) both have shoulder and wrist armor, but only a standard set of hands. Both of the new figures have new, armored hands, but omit the shoulder armor. While K&M have hip and waist armor, respectively, and shoes, Hellhound and Kyuubi, here, have entire new shin/foot pieces. Weapon-wise, I think it also comes out in about the same place, with Gabrine the Hellhound having two weapons, a pistol and a hammer, and <moonspeak> the Kyuubi having a slew of knives, which can be used individually or as large claws.
I think there's just as much new stuff there, even if there are fewer individual pieces involved and less coverage.
I'm kinda surprised they haven't put out a tall Light Armor myself, but the tall bodies aren't dramatically different from the MMS1/2 bodies. They may be trying to differentiate MMS3 from previous versions or something.
