The Legacy line was fine for what it was; A modern revival of the old 90s figures. But yes, the Lightning Collection is like 99% better.
Interesting how each PR line has scaled though. SHF = 6 inch Legacy = 6 1/2 inch LC = 6 1/4 inch I think Hasbro had both 6 and 7-inch scale figures in mind when making the LC line, since basic posing gets them to fit with both(usually). |

It really feels like Legacy is closer to 7-inch, honestly. It feels much closer to that at least.
And yeah Legacy isn't... it isn't the worst figure I've ever had, but I think it's fair to say it was pretty out of touch with what its target audience wanted in very, very many ways and its budget could have easily made it so much better. LC is more or less the proof of that.

Yeah Bandai definitely had some growing pains when it came to trying to mirror the success of Hasbro. For example, the Dragon Stars line had some serious growing pains early on, but thankfully they listed to the critiques people were giving the line, and now most figures are actually rather good. Makes me think the Legacy line would've also improved in a similar fashion had the Hasbro buyout not happened.

They are really not slowing down on these nameplates -- this time it's Kotaro Minami; Kamen Rider Black and Black RX!

I'm expecting W and OOO very very soon. Both are popular and have both recent and upcoming releases in SHF and Sodo alike

I recently learned of "SHF Upgrade" and while they're not currently selling anything I particularly care about, they do have some cool stuff that I image would appeal to alot of other collectors. Like a replacement head for Zero-One with glow-in-the-dark eyes. I recommend checking them out.

That said, the custom capes for Woz, Gaim and Cronus look fantastic and are great prices! ... suspiciously good prices. Like, I thought wire capes were expensive?
