I see that it once again strikes that the obvious must be clearly outlined in your post, or that small fraction of a much wider message will be the thing they focus on.

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.
