>>11480670I have no idea about the Figuarts because I never bought it, but the Figma isn't arched back, as you can see in pic rel. Yes, you can close the space between stripes by leaning her upper torso forward, but you have to give her a granny hunch.
Also the middle black stripe on the Figma is thicker than the other two stripes.
I'm still buying the Figma, but let's not pretend it is perfect.
