[SPLIT LIP]

The exact same things that make Figuarts great, intricate joints, shiney and even paint, small painted details, finely sculpted points and extremities, are all the first things that would go in the hands of a child. Hell, I'm a disgusting adult and I've had Figuarts break and damage on the thin details like helmet crests and horns.

Figuarts are far and away superior in terms of gimmicks, looks, articulation, etc, but not in child-friendly durability, but that's the only thing they don't excel at. I think it's an exaggeration to say Figuarts "aren't that great" especially in comparrison to a figure like this, and probably about as close to objectively wrong as you can get when making biased comparrisons. But this figure was designed for a child to play with, and it's better at that than a Figuart. Just imagine a Figuart in a sandbox. Imagine it and cry on behalf of it's designers. Figuarts are great fun to an adult who can appreciate the craft and design, and maybe great fun for a rowdy child... for the three seconds until they're smashed. (Unless the child's like really advanced and has understanding of higher-end collectibles and their value)
