>>10599183absolutely not, I dislike a large portion of sonic content for the past two decades, especially the games. i thought the cartoons have been mediocre and the movies just passable as family films but not much more than that. I also am veru critical of the merch that comes out, most of it is cheap kiddy garbage just like what most other IPs get. I do collect the jakks 4" toy line and have a lot of problems with those too, namely their poor articulation, chubby limbs and top-heavy designs that make their balance poor. So when I praise the Prime 5" line, it's coming from a place of understanding what we've had til now and weighing the benefits as well as the places Jakks cheaped out on as well. Frankly, I disagree with you on some points and it may be down to opinion, or just different levels of attention to detail that I'm not sure you're noticing.
>accuracy to source materialThey absolutely have more accurate proportions than all other Sonic figures on the market. The second closest you can get is the $50 modern collector's figure, but it has uncomfortably thick and badly proportioned arms that just ruin his silhouette. I also want to add that the level of detail in Sonic's shoes is just really really good, it's these tiny details that show they cared a ton about making the figure accurate. Most toys at the $15-16 dollar range don't have nearly as much detail as the texture, paint detailing and accuracy in the shoes alone.
>how well they can poseI can just outright say you're getting more dynamic poses from the Prime line than the 4" line on the elbow articulation alone, which definitely exceeds what a few posts have suggested in this thread as a 90° limitation. The ankle joints allow a great range of standing poses and balancing, it even has some vertical neck movement, and the fun I've had posing and holding this thing is just beyond what I've experienced with the entire 4" line.
>if they are made wellFeels more solid than the others on the market
