Seriously! If it wasn't for some of the joints and lack of detail on the belt, they'd be indistinguishable.

Yeah, had me for a second.

The AC figures, while some come off a little bulky are just wonderful looking figures, which is why in some regards I favour them over figuarts, like I love Gridon's AC look over his figuart.

And for that I'm grateful because it means I can just focus on the main riders and then be done with figuarts.

And, they really aren't that expensive any more.

The Gaim Figuarts are really something else. They are beautiful!

Yeah, I think that's the route I'm going to take. I'll probably focus on getting main forms and forms that I really, really dig, such as Kiwami or Mango, in Figuarts. Then fill in the rest with Arms Change.

Not sure what I'll do as far as the Energy Riders though. On one hand, I'd like to have Zangetsu Shin and the other 3 as Figuarts, since I really like how Zangetsu Shin looks as a figuart. But at the same time, since they're all likely going to be exclusives, it will be a huge money sink. And I already have a Duke coming on the way. I may have problems with getting any version of Sigurd and Malika though.

I can't figure out where to put them all... So everyone's just hanging out on my coffee table.

I don't know about anyone else, but on seeing the photo, I started singing this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b0ftfKFEJg

Ditto on that. Arms Change's gimmick just makes it so much more fun to get a large collection. Sure the ACs have undeniable downsides when compared to the figuarts, but when I'm fiddling with my ACs I find that I just don't miss any of the things the figuarts are better at.

I just secured a Figuarts Zangetsu on Mandarake, and after I get a Gaim I'm pretty much done for Gaim figuarts. Maybe a Ryugen or Zangetsu-Shin, if I find them for acceptable prices.
