S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO Super TaToBa Combo was released as Tamashii Nation Online 2021 event exclusive item. It was later re-released as Tamashii exclusive in April-2022. That was when I managed to get my hand on this item.
Undoubtedly the SKC version has a number of improvements compared to its SHF counterpart which was released around 10 years ago. Here's the comparison of both figures:
Box Art:
As usual, being an event exclusive, SKC OOO Super TaToBa came with a special "sleeve":

Contents/Accessories:

| SKC OOO Super TaToBa comes with 7 interchangeable hand parts, an O-Scanner, 3 Medals + tool to remove medals and 2 arm-replacement parts for the claws; SHF OOO Super TaToBa comes with 5 interchangeable hand parts, an O-Scanner and a pair of claws |
Comparison side-by-side:
First, let's see how both figures compared to the actual suit:
SHF at a first glance might seem good enough, but when you compare them side-by-side, you can clearly see the shortcoming of SHF. In overall, SKC's body proportions is much more show-accurate.
In terms of colors, both figures use the bright color to replicate the suit, but both failed at the choice of color for the green parts. SKC made it even worse when it went for cost saving and skipped the painting for the legs. This is quite surprising for a SKC product which normally go all out to pursue high accuracy. We'll have a detailed look at this later on.
Here's the comparison of the two figures side-by-side:
Even though both claimed to be 1:12 scale, but you can still see there's some difference in the size - SHF is slightly shorter than SKC.
Now we have a detailed look from head to toe:
 |
| Noticeable difference is the shoulder pad design - SKC has a more screen-accurate design. Another noticeable difference is the slight difference in shade of red used for paint on the shoulders. SKC's red is glossier and brighter - like crimson-red; SHF's red is a bit dull (not sure if it has something to do with the paint oxidized over the years). |
 |
| The logos on SKC's chest plate is cleaner & more well-defined |
 |
| SKC OOO Super TaToBa features a super-detailed mini OOO driver. The OOO medals are 3 (also super-detailed) removable coins which you can insert into the driver; SHF's OOO driver is just a painted piece |
 |
| Worth to mention that SKC OOO driver can be rotated like the real driver, and it's also removable |
 |
| Both figures' Medals holders are one-piece plastic, cannot be opened. SKC's looks slightly better. |
 |
| SHF's leg has its green color painted but SKC skips the painting by using a green-base mold. Can't say I'm a fan of this mold-color cost saving by BANDAI recently. SKC's black color parts have some white lining to detail the carved patterns. However, note that the actual suit doesn't have this lining. |
 |
| SHF OOO Super TaToBa has a gimmick where you can remove the back plug to install the Kujaku wings from SHF OOO Tajadol Combo Effect Parts set. |
 |
| Similar to all SKC OOO products, SKC OOO Super TaToBa also use the new joints which allow slight axial rotation of the arms; SHF OOO Super TaToBa on the other hand uses conventional joints |
 |
| Same for the knee joints |
 |
| SKC has better details on the O-Scanner and holder. |
 |
| A closer look at the O-scanners. SKC's lack the white paint details. |
 |
You need to swap out the forearm for SKC in order to replace the claws; SHF requires only the swapping of the claw parts.
|
 |
| SHF's claw obviously need improvement lol |
 |
| SKC's claw can be folded to a certain degree, probably to ease the process to change hand parts |
 |
| SKC has cover to hide the hip joints |
 |
| Sole details comparison |
Last but not least, SKC features gimmick to separate the head, chest & lower body which allows collectors to mix-and-match different combos. Certainly a huge plus point which adds more playability
