That doesn't mean they'll see a release, or else I'd be holding a Kurojishi Rio.

I didn't say they were going to be released. I just said that they exist in some quantity. Neither of them have any sort of confirmation outside of self-assured fan-speculation.

Now, the point made was that Figuarts can not fit in with Marvel Legends/ThunderCats/DCUC. I do not own an Armor Might figure, but I do own a Lion-O that Armor Might borrowed parts from so I'll be using that. Here's a picture with ML Spider-Man, SL White Ranger, SHF Gokai Red, and Classics Lion-O. I tried my best to get a level image. It's not perfect, but they are all standing as straight as a I can get them and all touching the wall to give the best comparison in size. *snip* Are these lines made on different scales? Yes. Is it a significant difference? Not unless you're really anal about it. The biggest difference is not the scale, but the (for lack of a better word) "beefness" of the characters. Rangers aren't "beefy," while most comic super heroes are. Quote:
I'm going restate my original question to make this clear.
"why the does any ADULT COLLECTOR (no other "demographic") want these when we know there's a much better toy coming aimed directly at the adult collectors? Price difference aside, what is the appeal of these figures?"

You don't have to be real anal to see that the figures don't fit. Again, maybe it's okay for you, but it doesn't work for me nor does it look right to me.
It's because they look fun and again, and are in 6" scale. Half an inch may not seem like much but it does make a difference. Figuarts look like pre-teens amongst 6" scale figures.

I understand some do. And they can. I just don't either. For the price, these are freaking fantastic figures. No doubts about that. I just am turned off by the exaggerated musculature.

Well for me I am buying both Figuarts and these Armored Might figures. I don't mind having multiple versions/toys of the same character(s), I think it's cool to see how they differ.
