Potential licensing reasons aside, Figma tends to make slender and/or armored characters. Other than that, Medicos has covered so many characters, I dunno how well similar figures of another brand would go over with consumers.

This would've been bait back in 2009, when the Medicos line first came out. But now, JJBA is fucking super-normie. In 2004, people laughed at WRYYYYYYYYY even if they only knew it from those jap stick figure flash animations, but now everyone is a meme-spouting "IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!" faggot. The tiny fandom used to be good, just like Medicos used to be good. Now they're both garbage.

The Medicos line really hit it's peak of quality around the time they were working on part 6 and young Joseph IMO. That shit is fire, way higher quality sculpts than your average figma btw I collect both SAS and Figmas, so I'm not biased here. I will admit part 3 and 4 look like ass, not including most stands like Killer Queen and The Hand.

And complaining about the characters likeness, for a manga like Jojo, what can you really expect? Araki's style is famously inconsistent, or constantly evolving.

>all these Medicos fans pretending like Medicos is the only one who can do JoJo
Back when Medicos was at it's peak they were producing stuff that no other company could at the time. The level of sculpt and shading they were pulling off was AMAZING for a Japanese line. The articulation left a little more to be desired but was decent.

In today's market though? Max Factory or Bandai could do JoJo justice. Bandai would pull out all the stops and make them ultra articulated with decent enough faces. Max Factory would nail the likenesses because they are the king of anime faces right now. Compare figma from 4-5 years ago to figma today and it's amazing how they consistently nail the looks now. Before they used to do generic -but best at the time- faces that didn't quite capture the characters perfectly.

The >>6440388 abomination would never happen under current figma standards.

If Medicos keeps removing shading (does Gyro even have any?), fucking up faces (eyes looking up despite proto having them looking forward) and raising prices there is no reason to keep supporting them. The recent RWBY looks shitty too and is like 9k yen.

I agree with what you said about Medicos' quality going down and prices going up.

But to claim that this isn't the case for Bandai and MF as well? All three have been going down the pan as of the last few years. Bandai has been getting worse for a number of years, MF has started to take a dive as of a year or two ago, and now Medicos is merely catching up.

That's because most Figuarts come with two pairs of hands and maybe an extra faceplate if you're lucky. Oh, and no paint shading except for heavily concentrated around the crotch.

Well you can find that Trunks for like 30 bucks now too, and the alt head is nice. SS Vegeta came with a ton of hands and the crossed arms, though I would have preferred a base form head. Still no excuse for no one coming with ki blast effects anymore.

That's going a bit far. Awakening Goku is bang for buck probably one of the best figuarts.

On the main topic, I still prefer medicos even with how garbage Gyro appears to be. GSC recent offerings have just been pitiful, they absolutely refuse to put any effort in stuff that isn't a fate/Miku/moeshit rehash.

That's only because it's incredibly cheap for what it is, though. Kamen Rider always gets first dibsies on new SHF tech and Kinnikuman does "big beefy boys" better than any DBZ Figuarts.

That is what "best bang for your buck" usually means yes. The Kinnikuman stuff is great but I wish Suguru himself was a bit "stockier" if that makes sense. His face plates are pretty lacking too, can't believe he doesn't have any silly ones.

This looks like it was inspired by that Phantom Blood OVA that was never released. The shading is not my thing though and his face looks off, but I don't own any figmas, so I can't say much desu. I prefer the WF Jonathan from Medicos, and I think they've done mostly a good job with JoJo despite the unfortunate recent downgrades + higher prices + cheaper materials.

However, I would've loved to see nendoroid versions of JoJo, but I'll definitely get shit for that.

Legit question, what makes the RD Anime stuff better? I own a few RD and think they are ok but nothing spectacular, more the case that I own them just to have the mech in figure form.

I passed on RD Anime because I figured it was just your average RD with a different branding. Is there something about them that makes them much better? You've piqued my interest.

yeah, it's pretty crazy, isn't it? How many other manga lines you see get so many figures, aside from DBZ? Maybe Kinnikuman is getting there, but that's a very recent thing. Medicos has made around 60, not counting recolors and special edition shit.

The other big/popular/famous shonen - one piece, naruto, bleach, yugioh, baki, HxH, HnK, FMA, etc - have nowhere near that level of support.

Eh, I'd say that Bandai's just become less consistent with their quality. For some reason, there are still series of Figuarts (Kinnikuman, Street Fighter, the SSH Riders, etc.) that are up to the old standards, but once you look past that, it's a bit of a crapshoot.

If you're talking about that Gyro figure and The Baoh figure, I agree, they fucked up massively and I can't really trust them with new figures at that point. I recently got the Star Platinum (third) and Kars figures for cheap so I'l just keep buying old stuff till they release a figure that isn't Gyro-tier trash.
Hopefully Johnny will be a decent figure but I'm not picking it up near it's release.
