>>6427692If you care about the best articulation, Star Platinum Part 4. Part 3 is still plenty fine and I do like the headsculpt and overall color choices from SP1st-3rd compared to Part 4.
Pic related was a request(headswap) but you see the changes such as butterfly joints for better inward arm range, The rounded ball hip setup for excellent leg movement and smaller cloth piece so it doesn't hinder any forward leg poses. Ab crunch is better also but SP Part 3 still holds up. Also jointed shoulder pads instead of Part 3's molded in shoulder pads to the neck cloth.
Part 3 Star Platinum for me, has a better overall "look" since I'm not a fan of the boots on Part 4 and the headsculpt really divides people but Part 4 is generally more fun to pose with all the changes. Though the biggest gripe is the loss of Star Finger for a wood piece that is only good for replicating the Sheer Heart Attack chapter but it's understandable. However since SP Part 4 doesn't have any other colorway you can only lean on Part 3 for 3 variations.
As for Jotaro, I'm a bit of a purist so I can't really attach SP Part 4 to a Part 3 Jotaro but I can pair SP Part 3 to Part 4 and not get bothered so easily.
Part 4 SP just suffers from a singular colorway and headsculpt design though it comes down to preferences but overall artiuclation is a selling point in my opinion. Part 3 poses fine but you lack things like waist rotation and the ability for the legs to do the splits due to the waist decorations on his sculpt.
