Granted there isn't much but a decent amount of different pair of hands, the sharp sculpt, great paint job, the range of motion in the articulation and the very clean and sharp faces are still what makes them a leaque above Hasbro. I mean just look at the Torso articulation. While it's a good way to make your figurs bend down and back it's cutting right into the belly of the figure. It's a very visible joint, especially on Mercy. I am a big fan of Pharah and I am really not pleased with the lack of accessories, especially with only 1 faceplate (same with Mercy) but Hasbro doesn't give me any, which is completely okay if I just want a Pharah on the shelf and that's it but for more it's not good enough.
Personally I think it's great to have variety and competition, so I don't mind Hasbros line at all, i.e. I really hate that GSC lacks in the effect department. They can't put enough of it with their Nendoroid shipgirls but Pharah, who has a rocket launcher, not giving a rocket launching effect? Well that's cheap.
Both have their pro's and con's, for me the pro's of the Figma line still outweighs the pro's of the Hasbro line and I really hope GSC will continue to make western figures. I would by a Witcher Ciri figure in a heart beat.
First, welocme to the Ark!
Second, I think it'd be crazy if the Figma Overwatch figures weren't better than Hasbro's offerings simply as a principle of price. To get Mercy and Pharah from Hasbro costs $50 (based on Gamestop's price which does usually go higher than regular retail) while getting them from the Figma line is at least $150. I still intend to strictly go Hasbro as a money-saving effort but if the Figma ones weren't overall better toys that'd be a real head-scratcher.
