If you just want one replacement part or an accessory or two, then unauthorized reproductions can be more accessible than official product. It might be a little more faithful to the original product than getting that accessory cast and painted by a community member.
But unauthorized figures almost always have low quality joints, and depending on where it can from, paint is going to be highly variable. I haven't had an import break on me yet, but just be mindful on sharper edges or anywhere paint may have gotten onto a joint. Higher clarity plastic doesn't have as much flexibility or forgiveness as, say, the stuff Hasbro uses to make knee joints. Figma and Figuarts skew closer to true 1:12 scale, which means having females around 5 1/2" and males around 5 3/4" isn't uncommon. The source material has to be six feet tall or over for them to be 6 inches. If you want average sized guys scaled like monsters, Storm Collectibles is a company for you to consider. Imports are fun. Just make sure they fit into the collecting style that brings you, personally, the most happiness. It doesn't matter if it's an expensive figure if you find it disappointing or if you're apathetic toward it. |

S27 from China, that is an absolute KO. I have Overwatch and Attack on Titan Figma. It is highly quality. But it could take some time to display them with all the parts, but once you do they look amazing. I do have Cowboy Bepop SH Figuarts and they are very good too, just a notch below Figma. Figma can be pricey, I just preordered Overwatch Soldier 76 for $110 direct from Goodsmile. SH Figuart runs a bit cheaper around $50. There are a lot of KOs of both brands on eBay and Amazon. I buy them from Goodsmile, BBTS, Entertainment Earth or Hobby Link Japan. I would not recommend buying these on eBay or Amazon.

I'm reading some posts about Hot Toys (not the same as Figuarts, I realize) Iron man figures that have the paint on the crotch piece fading over time?? So now their Iron man figure looks like it has pink underwear on? They claim they kept it out of the sunlight. If I paid $300+ for one figure, and few years later the paint faded and it looked like it was wearing pink panties, I'd be pissed.
