The spikes aren't that long on the show, so why'd the Figuarts make them longer? It's not accurate, and isn't accuracy kind of the point? The design is studded, not spiked. Also, what you said doesn't make sense. They can make the spikes that long because they did make the spikes that long on the show for the shoulders and chest and helmet. As it stands, the AC is marginally more accurate. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 03-06-2014 at 02:15 PM.. |

Uh, you kind of answered your own question. Thanks for the visual, saved me the task.

The suit is not that spikey. In order for the Figuart to be accurate, it should match the suit. It doesn't match the suit. All you're doing is (unsuccessfully) trying to distract from the fact that the Figuart does not match the costume. So I guess when they make Mango arms, you'll want the cape to be solid mango halves? Because the CGI of the mango armour doesn't have the cape in the shape of the cape. All the fruits mass-shift and change. What's important is the costume itself, because that's what the Figuart is representing. EDIT: And the CGI actually ISN'T as spikey as the Figuart. So every picture you've posted just shows how inaccurate the Figaurt is more and more. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 03-06-2014 at 02:24 PM.. |

I've been driving myself nuts trying to find a 1:12 scale sofa to match the one the figure was displayed with to no avail. But I went back to the episodes and skimmed through those, only finding two Bravo video messages to the public (in 7 and 13), in neither of which was he on that couch. Did I miss one somewhere? Or is the couch I've been freaking out over finding not even a screen accurate prop?

He sat in a chair once, but Bravo's apartement doesn't have a couch if I recall. People just assumed he had used a couch because Bandai posed him with one. |

Oh, the spikes on Bravo's suit are spikier than they look in the show...
Sweet, he looks awesome like that. Looking forward to picking him up.

But when the point of Figuarts is accuracy, to the point where they include a wine glass because it's something he did in the show, don't just wave away legitimate critisms with accuracy liek it's nothing. The helmet is also wrong, BTW. The eyes are off and the "brow" is too pronounced. Considering the price of these, I'm not sure I want to pay $50 for "close enough." I've got to say, I'm starting to take this whole "I say I don't like something, in NO WAY implying others can't, and get lynched and try to be disproven even though I've proven my point and then people just become flippant" personally. It makes me feel like the simple fact that I don't share the popular opinion offends people, and then when I deconstruct and show the flaws in what people faun over, they get upset and try to ignorantly right me off of "WE IT'S ALL OPINION ANYWAY." Because, y'know, that's exactly what I was doing. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 03-06-2014 at 02:39 PM.. |

Sweet. The chair should be easier to track down in that scale than a modern sofa style.

Though could you imagine Bravo just laying back in a recliner?
