3rd Party Sentai mechs with the ability to combine and the articulation of the SRCs? They can just take my wallet.

I'm not even necessarily concerned with articulation. I just want upgrades or accessories that were never made as DX's. Or accessories for Figuarts that should have been made but haven't.

*cough*Minipla*cough*

Seriously. They're not perfect, but if you can stand the assembly, painting/stickering, and somewhat simplified transformation(though that varies from figure to figure), I think they're more than worth your time.

Screw minipla.
Yes. They have elbows, wrists, and knees.
I want a full sized figure.
Yes. They're good little models. That doesn't mean they're good figures.

Wait a second. Models =/= Figures? How long has this been happening? O_o

You could always just make your own...

And that's a serious suggestion. I had a blast making my dx white tiger and strongly support the customization of other dx mecha.

The list I have of these is endless.

For me, it's the painting/stickers that prevents me from liking Minipla better. I generally dislike stickers, and I hate how the stickers are so tiny and loose in the Minipla. If I had a friend who I could ask/hire to paint the Minipla professionally, I'd probably be quite a dedicated buyer. As it is now, it's my only major dislike of Minipla.

As someone who loves to build and paint them(I only use stickers for details that aren't molded in), Minipla is right up my alley.

I'd strongly consider that if not for the fact that I seem to develop Parkinson's whenever I try to do something delicately
