I've been looking at them again as well as the hasbro black series. The figuarts ones definitely seem to have more articulation. Are they really 2.5 times better than the hasbro ones? That's how much you seem to need to pay. The Hasbro ones are limited in the elbows, which of course it seems to be the main joint required for some of the gun holding poses and photos i had pictured in my mind lol.

This is the other brand I mentioned earlier but they aren't coming out until August it seems:

They are cheaper than the figuarts ones and also include more guns and accessories which is awesome. I don't like the look of that wrist popping out though in the bottom left hand corner, especially since that's the kind of stuff I wanted to do with whatever I got...
