Well what about Figma Wrath? You can't do anything with its arms cause the shoulders don't move man. Also, the figuarts of Ryuki came out in 2012 whilst they were still trying to make a good sculpt that didn't require the diecast feet for balance support & blows other highly articulated figures of those riders out of the water, which the Blade rider figuarts did & what the Hibiki figuarts are gonna end up doing, but as I said before it's all a matter of opinion.

As you can see compared to the show

Which isn't mentioning how off the colour is for the SHF.

I must be missing something because I don't see anything that looks stumpy. OH, and the Figma looks blue not purple. Yeah, I will admit the Figuart uses the wrong shade, but so has every Ouja figure to come out from Bandai be it a vinyl or a regular figure.

I'm not speaking of the entire line though, I'm speaking specifically about Strike. I know they all use the same bodies, but all have different sculpts and paint on top so it's impossible to talk about them as one unit.

Like apparently Incisor is just as good as Scissors. Apparently both the Sting and Raia releases are crap. Apparently Knight is way better than Wing Knight. Apparently Dragon Knight and Ryuki are pretty equal, but Ryuki comes with the Contract Monster so he wins out.

So I'm probably gonna only got for Sting when it comes to the Figma, as it blows the SHF out of the water but the rest I'll go the SHF route. And I'm prolly gonna only pick up Ryuki anyway.

If you don't see why the SHF chest sculpt is bad then...I dunno... I guess there is no convincing, which I'm not trying to do here really but after hearing so much shit about the Figmas I've amazed by how much better Sting looks.

Also neither shade is one hundred percent accurate admittedly, but the metallic lilac is definitely the most off and on the more expensive figure.

IS there a particular reason why Dragon Knight got the figma treatment and not other riders shows onwards? I wouldn't mind owning a Figma Skull if that happened ;0

Legally they have no rights to Kamen Rider, but as Dragon Knight is legally a separate thing it becomes a loophole for Figma.

Even though the visor is totally soft and not even painted fully on the Figma?

Soft?

[KR Blade King Form]

Yep, the visors on the figma releases aren't relatively made with sturdy plastic, I gathered that from VIDEO reviews, listen Locke, wanna get better info, best watch video reviews on Youtube cause the picture reviews don't give you voiced commentary on whether or not the person likes the product he or she bought, I know this from experience .

The detail. It's not as crisp or clean. The Figma's helmet is far more toy-looking, wheras the Figuart looks like the actual helmet, just the completely wrong shade of purple.

Indeed, cause up until last year the figuarts releases were still in the trial & error phase basically, hence some or a lot of detail mess-ups, where with max factory's figma line, they only focus on things that only have one setup of characters & the designs of the characters are able to be used well enough in a figma figure.
