>>11249962>And just to show how amazing McFarlane Toys was, here's what paying 10x more would get you from Japan.Yes, both are bad, because full paintjobs for anime characters are pointless. This is not a Japan vs USA thread, there are plenty of Japanese toys that have aged poorly (Revoltech Fraulein with their utterly nonsensical hips for instance).
>because you need to pretend glossy plastic colored plastic looks better than looking like it came out of the comic/anime/manga's colored cover to defend a toy company overcharging you.Orange-peeled paint doesn't look like a watercolour manga cover no matter how much you claim to the contrary (I don't think it's even possible to get a poseable toy to look like that, at least without looking weird outside of like one pose). And given the figures you're bitching about are supposed to look like they're from the ANIME, which they do, your point is completely moot anyway.
Like, seriously, are you telling me pic related would look better if GSC used paint for every surface instead of using plastic with paint for details?
