>>35633392Not about realism, or toys. It's about stylistic preference. Your pic related looks more like the official art, which is still inferior to the official art for Krabby. The quality of toys is irrelevant to the designs. As I mentioned earlier, if a well-made figure of Krabby existed, we would be back to the same argument of looking at the two depictions in the official art styles.
Yes Pokemon is a "cartoon," but to say that Pokemon is just a children's franchise meant to sell products shows that you don't even care about the subject of aesthetics to begin with.
I don't like Crabrawler because he looks like garbage modern calarts cartoons. I like Krabby because he looks like interesting Akira Toriyama-esque cartoons.
