Default Statue or Moveable figurine?

I'm a statue man myself,they look better imo and the moveable ones can be flimsy,cheap looking and struggle to stand up.




Ps anybody want to buy an unopened Aussie version of the collector edition?

Ah nope

I prefer statues too but there also many Good Looking figures

As Example a Good Company for figures is HotToys
ACII Ezio is the best Looking AC figur that i ever seen
Look my pics it is the only figur i have

But i understand what you mean
I hate the Neca, Play Arts and Mcflarne figures
Why?
Neca Bad Painting, You can see the joints (Thais the Main reason)

Play Arts Looks to asian, you can see the Joints (more than the Neca figures)

Mcflarne you can see the Joints

Another Good Example of a figur is Harrison Ford Indiana Jones
Look the statue and the figur @ sideshow

Figures Looks Way better than the statue

I usually prefer statues mainly because of the posable figures I have, once I put them in a position I rarely reposition them, so they might as well be statues!

Also, I hate seeing the joints in posable figures. Some are masked really well and that usually depends on the character. I have McFarlane, Play Arts & Neca figures and they all have their pros & cons.

Statues in Collector's Editions generally look quite dull compared to a premium statue, and the figures used in collectors also have the same problem, but often I collect them because they are the only statues or figures for that title.

Outside of Collector's Editions however I'm definitely a figure person, SH Figuarts and Figma are generally my favourite, Hot Toys likely make the best figures out there but I personally dislike the scale of them (and the price).

I don't mind the joints showing as long as it has good articulation (such as the ones I mentioned, and the upcoming D-Arts Mewtwo/Charizard/Blastoise are a good example) but sadly PAK and Neca really can't get the hang of it, ball joints visible everywhere and no free motion, euck.

Give me a decent statue any day. A decent statue will always be that,a statue & if its any good a work of art. Where as a figure is just a fancy word for a toy & most figures look exactly like that,toys.

Both! Statues and Figures!

Looks like NECA isn't popular around here. Regarding the joints, I think do a better job than most other companies. Of course for that price, you can't compare them to the 1/6 scale figures like Hot Toys.

Of course statues can be absolutely fantastic if done correctly and the right pose is given.

I prefer articulated figures. Hot toys makes it right.

I like both, although I do know that some articulated figures look like shit. I love SH Figuarts and D-Arts and Figma though xx
