I really couldn't tell the difference on the chest between all of the Oujas. But then again, I notice the small eyes on Blade's figuart

As usual, compromises are what things like that are.

The SHF has a weird, drooping, overlapping top piece that makes the bit underneath look stumpy. http://www.gundammodelkits.com/wp-co...hf_ouja020.jpg

The figma on the other hand does it correctly, http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/hacchaka/...e5baa7f4-s.jpg

As you can see compared to the show http://dragonknightnetwork.webs.com/Storiku.jpg

Which isn't mentioning how off the colour is for the SHF.

It's my personal belief that outside of Knight/Wing Knight, the SHFs are WAY better. Better molds, better articulation, better accessory count, just overall better. However the Figmas do provide good alternatives for SHFs that are really pricey (i.e. Gai).

as someone who has never seen Ryuuki or Dragon Knight and only has one Kamen Rider SH(Wizard Infinity) and don't have any figma's I have to say the Figma Ouja looks a lot better by just being way more screen accurate in those pics. Especially the purple color and proportion of the body looks fantastic on the Figma.

Now I don't doubt the Figuarts Ouja has better articulation but for me personally as long as a figure has enough articulation to be able to pose him nicely I much rather a more screen accurate figure than having Figuarts level articulation

Exactly my thinking, and feeling!

Too bad the Figma is just cheaper looking, and messes up a lot of the details like the belt. Just compare helmets.

I actually disagree, being screen accurate makes Strike not just a faithful, but also a better looking figure. Sure the belt is a bit more simplified but I don't think that is worse than the tacky metallic lilac paint or bad sculpting job on the armour on the SHF.

After looking at more pic's of both figures I'm with Locke on this. Not only does Strike look more faithful to the original suit but it's body proportion(especially chest and torso) fit the body of the suit actor a lot better.

Which is a big selling point for me and is why I collect Medicom figures instead of Figuarts(except for Sentai and Gaim since I want all Gaim figures).

Yeah Figma really knocked Strike out of the park, beautiful looking figure and cheap too.
