This fucker. This figure was my first foray into Figuarts and I can't say I was too pleased. Stylistically he looks fine, I didn't have an issue with that but the articulation left something to be desired. The hip range was piss poor even with the drop down thighs. He could barely kick his leg forward and that's not to be blamed by the frontal shell since that was made out of soft plastic. Instead of a t shaped crotch like you'd expect, the figure had a weird rounded crotch that blocked range. You could argue that was to preserve the sculpt but why? The frontal shell covers it up completely anyway. Also ball jointed ankles? On an import figure that costs $50-$60? Ab range was crap too but that's justified by the shell at least. Lastly die-cast. Such a dumb gimmick to make people think the figure is higher quality because it has metal and it feels heavier.
I was almost turned off of Figuarts as a whole until I got SHFSS Agito to turn me around on the line.
