How does that work? I keep hearing "the Korean Gaoranger stuff is super cheap!" and I don't see it in any picture or video I can find of them.

Again, you can use a gallery to sort of get part of the picture. But can you honestly say that without actually holding a figure, moving it around, and seeing it in hand, you can fully and completely deem it bad or good?

I know who Shishioh is. And what I said above about Den-O goes here too. Nice pictures, yes. But does it offer the full experience and ability to make a decision on exactly how good a figure is? Nope.

Got no idea what your saying?

Yes, Den-O does make the galleries most of the time. But his opinion is just that: his opinion. And much as I respect him and consider him a friend, I don't always agree with him. And while reviews are a good way to get a general idea of what something is like, ultimately, you will never really know how you feel about something until you experience it yourself. A lot of people talk crap about Sonic games, and often it is well deserved, but ultimately I wind up enjoying them more often than not.


That's nice. But again, some things need to be experienced firsthand. The Drive figuarts certainly LOOKED nice, but I didn't realize how much of a joy they were to handle until I got them in-hand. Pictures honestly do not do their colors justice- I am not a fan of red by any means, but Drive has such a lovely, candy red coloration and had such a fun gimmick with the Tire Koukan system that I was a bit pained when I wound up parting with him.

Incidentally, the old Super Legends Power Rangers toys seem fairly dated and not up to par with current standards set by Figuarts, but my White Ranger looks very nice with the Figuarts MMPR lineup and is still a neat toy to take down and play with.

You really need to own something or rather have it in hand to get a sense of it's worth. Ultimately reviewers like me can only tell you so much about the experience and recommend what you should do. I can give you my best impressions of something to nudge you one direction or the other, but for me personally I've always felt ownership/handling of something in person is the best way to determine your personal worth of an item.

Buddy you're a boy making a big noise
Playing in this thread trying to be a big man today
You have mud on your face
You're being a disgrace
Kickin' your argument all over the place

Buddy you're a young man dumb man
Shouting in the street everyone else is wrong all day
You got mud on your face
You're being a disgrace
Wavin' your argument all over the place

Buddy you're an young man poor man
Pleading with your eyes isn't gonna make you right some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody's gonna put you back into your place

As others have said, a picture or review can't explain the quality in full, only personal experience can. Many people as I've said call the Korean Gaoranger toys extremely cheap. But considering the following:

They look relatively good overall and I will never know if they really are that cheap until I buy one and actually play with it.

You are just looking for a fight and you know what I don't care to fight with a monkey like you

...you win.

Ooooh, this won't end well...

I'll take that Giraffe if you wind up not wanting it...
