Okay guys so I was looking at pictures over on TFW2005 and saw all the shinny, pretty paint apps Takara had put on their up-coming FoC deluxes and I started wondering if my persisting with Hasbro is the right path. So I want to hear from anyone who has purchased figures from both companies and how they compare.

So far I can see;

Takara
+ far superior paint work
- double the cost

Hasbro
+ cheaper
+ locally available (although not as much recently)
-- sometimes painted by 4 year olds using only their fingers
