For the kids or collectors who want fun toys instead of high-grade items the gimmick/main-line toys are always the best choice, because they offer the best playability.

I have some gimmick figures and aside from the sub-par paint and sculpting these guys are awesome. Articulation is also really good, at least on the Japanese ones.

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)

This.

But IMO the sentai model doesn't translate to the figuarts mold. It works a lot better with Kamen Rider. Figuarts are gorgeous on a shelf, as they should be, but as something to just mess around with? BOA and the BOJ gimmick figures are better.


And I would be lying if I said in terms of looks AC Gaim is better than Figuarts Gaim.
