I wouldn't call it a biased comparison - I own both the Figuart and the 5" figure, and I hate to say it but I'm more impressed with what the 5" figure pulls off when compared to the Figuart. That's not saying the Figuart isn't a great piece - because it truly is - but when I'm comparing $7.99/$9.99 to $54.99 when it released (or upwards of $120 in the aftermarket now), then damn straight I'm going to say the cost does not outweigh what you're looking for in a figure.

My end result is stating that if you're a casual fan or you're on the fence on whether or not to pick this figure up, it's a great substitute if you can't afford the Figuart. It will never match the detail on the accessories or the posability of a Figuart, but it still does a great job for what it is.
