Yeah, agreed. Just as an example, we didn't get a Zangetsu Figuart with a properly colored undersuit until Kachidoki Arms came out this year. Melon Arms and Melon Energy Arms look piss-yellow when they're displayed next to Kachidoki Arms lol

Gaim Figuarts were REALLY cheap, even in their prime, and you can kinda see why when compared to the more modern ones. Older Figuarts are just way too skinny. Big props to them for actually detailing the lockseeds and drivers though, because we don't even get that anymore.

I think their price at the time is also why people are much more forgiving towards Gaim's SHF line. Even web exclusives were less than 40 USD before shipping.
