The Difference between American and Japanese toys
Both the same character, both made by the same company, only a few years apart - but one clearly had more money and effort put into it
Note the increased articulation, the more accurate sculpting, the realistic body shape, the detailed paint apps (dagger, morpher) and the less visible joints. Not pictured are the other accessories - the optional hands and body parts, the dagger sheath, the sword…
The japanese respect their collectables and make great products.
