Unless you are only interested in characters surrounding the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I wouldn't give up collecting Legends, because for the most part, that is all Figma and Figure Arts has done up to this point, and if I am correct, this is all they are able to do thanks to certain languages in the license agreement. (There's also the upcoming Samurai inspired figures if that floats your boat.)

While many of the import figures are really nice, the scale and cost really don't make them all that much better than the Marvel Legends that are stateside, which has a wider selection of characters as well as a cost level that is often more than half of that of Figure Arts or Figma. They make up for it in the articulation department, but really, not much else.

If you want good, honest and thorough reviews of Figure Arts figs, I'd recommend checking out the reviews on Anthony's Customs on youtube. Anthony is a big fan of import figures, and is not afraid to tell you how it is when it comes to them. Many of his gripes might sound like nitpicking, but the fact that he mentions them makes him a bit more legitimate in the review department when it comes to them, as opposed to other reviewers who are just like "whoa cool...import action figures!!!" and seem more interested in justifying their purchase or pleasing their sponsors as opposed to giving you an honest review of the product.
