Okay, yup, need him

That said, to each their own. We all look at figures from different perspectives. I personally think it has a nice heft to it with all the plastic used for the armor. Almost comparable to figures blessed with diecast feet because of it, honestly. While the plastic used isn't thick, durable "play toy" material like I assume the AC figures are, (I wouldn't know, seeing as I don't own any) it's about on par with the Figuarts standard.

It looks like all the detail on the driver is tacky looking stickers too, which is weird considering they've detailed stuff much smaller than that with actual paint on other Figuarts.

Plus there are figuarts who have that "play toy" thickness, one thing I love about the Ryuki Figuarts is the sense of weight when you pick them up. Makes them feel more expensive, ironically, even though greater weight is usually related to cheaper toys.

Personally, the Gaim figuarts have a fair bit of weight to them. The only ones I have that feel heavier are the Ryuki figures and my Skull Crystal, but to be fair, those both have die casts.

Really, if any figuarts I've held felt 'light', it'd be the Blade ones.

I'm pretty certain everything on the lockseed itself is painted. The faceplate on the driver is surely a decal, though.

But with the Ryuki figures you can attribute most of that adidtional heft to their diecast feet.

I just opened Gaim and shot a gallery of him overnight, and I must say it's one of the mos exquisite Figuarts I've ever handled. It's just a gorgeous toy.

Stickers or not, they really hit the ball out the park with this one. I'm drooling at the thought of Kachidoki in September.

I don't think the stickers look bad in the least... And I honestly never expected details that small to be possibly painted as accurately as a little decal could do.

Yeh man that's half the problem, the paint apps are so nice it first blows my mind as to why they even used stickers in the first place and it only further makes the stickers look like shit too.

Plus, you look at stuff like ZyuRed's sword and stuff, where clearly proved they could do microdetails so I dunno what the deal is with Gaim. But again, like anything with Gaim, it's critically bulletproof and must be mindlessly praised and sacrificed too.

Okay. That's enough of that. Just because some of us don't feel the need to over critique a figure doesn't make us mindless. So just drop that sentiment now and keep the discussion civil.

Got my Gaim and Baron Figuarts today! My initial thoughts:
-These first run bonus parts are huge! I don't know if I have room for them which is a shame.
-The lock seeds won't stay on the belt, why couldn't they have just made swappable drivers?
-Ball joint wrists are scary
-So so pretty
