Anyone else like the Black Series Kylo Ren more so than the Figuarts?
The black series kylo has 6 issues:
– That appalingly dumb lightsaber (unless it's in the movie that way, but then it's still ugly).
– The cloth is way too long.
– The uh "sjawl" should've been cloth too, doesn't look good. Especially because if anything, the Hood should've been the only non cloth part.
– The hood needs modding to look descent.
– Figuarts has way better articulation.
– to me cloth and non-cloth hybrids like that never look good. The non cloth arms make the robes seem like a squar dress, rather than a whole of fabric outfit.
Figuarts Kylo just doesn't nail it perfectly:
– Hood is shaped a bit too round.
– Texture on the clothing seems a bit overdone to me. EDIT: actually, it's pretty accurate.
– When posed wildly the plastic clothing ca start to become unrealistic looking.
– It's not cloth, that in and of itself is simply something that could displease you.
All in all I'd say neither nail it entirely, but that's still a win for figuarts. All issues for SHF could be rendered minor to non-esistent in-hand. That's not the case with the BS, where the robes, lightsaber and plastic clothing are issues you will definitely have to mod if you want to get it right. And especially in the lightsabers case that's easier said than done. Ridiculous to not just include an unsheathed hilt and have a descent blade.
Summarised, taking price difference into account, the atrocious saber is the dealbreaker for BS Kylo imo. Especially because the Figuarts sabers are all fantastic looking save for Vader's.
