>>6455518Well that's the problem between the 2 demographics.
Hasbro assumes people buying them are kids with adults influencing them, with retail chokepoints forcing them to cost cut, the size classes are only to suit a retail standard which drives the takara engineers insane because it limits their potential (case in point prime breakdown which is a japan exclusive mold iirc).
Takara meanwhile knows people of all ages buy these, and to give some variance they chose their colors and sometimes mold changes to suit the market better, hasbro's excuse of "toy accurate" is just to lessen cost, takara's toy accurate means more color, if not, brighter, for better or for worse this helps people better associate with the toys as characters.
The sad thing is even the legends line is still a kids toy line, it's just adjusted to suit the Japanese consumers who are on the autistic side, with a smaller intended audience they have to do something to draw people to them.
This is why during the POTP line begins I'm quitting...or trying to, quit buying these things, MP's are slowly becoming the product I really want
>>6455527And even those are subjective, I passed up so many figma's due to paint alone, figmas I really wanted.
In the end we buy what we like, I mixed and matched, just a shame if its not cost its qc that's fucked me over
