While the combined blade/blaster is fine with me, it's always a shame to see a character not come with his signature weapon; that big t-rex hand. Aside from that though I have very little complaint with how this figure looks, good job with it!

I think both figures do good and bad things. The SHF replicates the shoulder overhang and combines the sash with the upper body. After the Psycho Red/Blue/Goldar figures, I think it's a shame that didn't do that with DC Red.
Those figures has a vest that does over a standard torso(you can remove it if you pop the arms off). That would have been perfect here to get that overhang.

It also clear the paint job on the SHF is superior to the LC. At $20, obviously there will be trade offs but Hasbro can do better.

Then there are joints. After getting a few, I think the Figuarts have better knees.

Though I prefer the scale of the LC and overall body. It's like if Hasbro did a few tweaks and got QC, they could easily overtake the SHF. The real next level is a full covering to hide the joints.

Not to toot my own horn but yeah with the unique weapons, the figures do get elevated.
