I'll still be glad to have one on my shelf but I have to say I think that figure looks awful. It's actually a lot more show accurate than I could have ever dreaded but where as AC Mango made it look like the Rider was encased in a kinder egg, AC Triumphant looks like a gong with a comedy sized apron and a hiking backpack attached. It just looks a total mess. I actually do like the AC line, but I can't deny that as more and more figuarts versions are released my AC collection really is starting to look its station.

Of course they look worse compared to the figuarts. The figuarts team has a higher budget, more time, less restrictive safety standards (due to being meant for adult collectors rather than children) and don't have to incorporate arms changing as a functional gimmick. It's a lot easier to make figures look good when you don't have to find a way to make the toy work like a show where the armour pieces magically shrink once they attach and solid mango/lemon segments turn into a soft cape.
Yes the AC line is budget, the SHF is collector but for the longest amount of time I felt the AC were great stand ins for the Figuarts, much better than say...an Armoured Mighty placed next to an SHF Zyuranger but Triumphant is the first AC, in my opinion, that looks downright bad since Mango Arms. And with the likes of SHF Shin, it looks like future Gaim SHFs are gonna end up doing the suits more justice than the show.
