But like i said, to even compare them is retarded. The hollow weight will never go away, but using a matte spray will fix the ugly plastic look very fast.
Think spray painting is easy? Sure, but if you just apply it like a tard without going through various steps, it can look pretty bad. The steps? Shake can for about five minutes.
Make sure it's a quality brand, like Krylon (relatively large and cheap for about $5) or Tamiya (half cans that cost $15). I'm sure this will rile up elitist modelers, but whatever. They're both great brands and completely comparable in terms of look and durability.
Spray in single one way motions, starting before and ending spraying after passing over it. You don't want to cover the entire thing in one pass, it should be layered.
Sound complex? Sure, but it's simple if you've been doing it for years and comes to you second nature, but it's a lot of step and why i'd never suggest someone buying a model if they just want an action figure, especially when there are perfectly good ones that DO look better than even your tenth try on a model.
Want to build a model? Take it to the multiple model threads we have. It's a lot of fun, if you're into it and most people aren't. Even those of us who do find it fun have a nice stack of unbuilt models that we'll totally get into when we don't feel burnt out... a year from now.
Want to have fun with a toy this month that looks good? Buy the BS/Figuarts/Figma/whatever.
