>>9728171>comparing a $20 children's toy to a $80 collector's toyyeah yeah, i get it, you get confused with American toys not being collectors toys because American companies put in a lot of effort and budget into their childrens toylines vs the terrible shit you see from other countries, but you really need to stop.
And that's not to say other countries don't put out awesome stuff, because even Chinese companies can put in great effort, but i singled out Bandai and Kaiyodo because they're the worst offenders for lazy efforts with a sizeable fanbase who defend some of the worst shit.
pic of when Kaiyodo actually gave a shit. It'd a bit oudated given Hiya's efforts today, but back then? No one thought you could get a sorta-1:18 scale more detailed than this.
