I'm especially put off by how the upper torso articulation has far too big a gap; other figures have a lot more lower torso inside the upper to avoid that issue.

I think this is also where Lightning Collection's staunch dedication to providing only one extra pair of hands is really starting to show its downsides. It was excusable before when you only needed one holding hand each and the other two could be fists or whatever; but with an archer character there's specific needs with what types of hands they need, and it's clear that they done it in half-measure to accommodate both the bow and the gun while also not putting as much thought into the arrow-holding hand as they needed. It certainly doesn't help matters that for some reason they continue to include a useless pointless 'chop' hand which has extremely limited posing potential and is in place of a hand which could have been useful for the bow and arrow.

This is not only a massive step-up from Legacy as always, but also impressively able to stand alongside the Figuarts in terms of quality; but there are some very significant flaws here that I'm not happy to see. A bit more thought into the figure would have gone a long way here. I'm still getting this figure and it's still one of the figures I most want from the line so far, but I'm certainly a lot less excited than I was from stock photos.

That's like saying a McDonald's cheeseburger is able to stand alongside a beef wellington made by Gordon Ramsey because those both have beef and bread.

The Lightning Collection figures are decent for what they are, but as far as quality goes, they are a far cry from Figuarts.
