Figma VS S.H Figuarts!

Which do you think makes better figures?

figma. they look a lot higher quality than S.H. figuarts, theyre less shiny and theres more attention payed to concealing the joints. while S.H. figuarts look like any old action figure, figma have a higher quality aspect to them for the same price tag and look a lot better on display. also, figma typically have a more desirable array of accessories. GSC seems to dominate the poseable figure market for a reason- they have the highest quality poseable figures on the market, with both their nendoroid and figma lines.

but here, as a clear example of the difference between S.H. figuarts and figma, heres examples of a character they both happened to make figures of, kinomoto sakura from cardcaptor sakura:

S.H. figuarts: x with these accessories at 5000yen
figma: x with these accessories as pictured at 5556yen

while GSC's version is to be released in june and S.H. figuarts was released in march, i doubt a 3 month difference should be factored into such a drastic difference of quality and detail. with such similar prices, im sure its clear which one you would want to buy- the figma even comes with more accessories, which should weigh over for the small price difference if the detail doesnt win you over.

figma, period. ill try to avoid S.H. figuarts unless its one of a character i absolutely have to have the figure of.

I literally disagree with everything said above. I believe S.H. Figuarts look better than figma and portray a better likeliness to characters, especially Sakura from CCS. The figma looks disproportionate and doesn't every well look like Sakura in the face. Even if the figma has more details in the dress, I believe the S.H. Figuart portrays her better with correct hate and her face looks exactly like it would in the show.
It honestly all boils down to who has what licenses, but in instances where they both have the rights to put out a character figure, I'll most likely prefer S.H. Figuarts.
