To be fair, the newer ones hide the gaps much better but that depends on the line they are doing (the my hero figures are great agnes look much better imo)

[MJAranas]

Kaiyodo has made huge, HUGE strides forward in their figures.
At this point they’re probably one of the best. Their proportions and the gapiness has gotten so much better over the years that their figures are just looking better and better with every release. The recent Spider-man is a testament to that. I can understand your feelings since all the ones you own are much, much older figures but if you were to get into and buy one of their newer figures I think you’d be decently surprised with how far they’ve come.

[cbrock]

I definitely see your point but I do believe that they’ve made some improvements as well. Also they put the flash and reverse flash up for pre order the other day and I’m extremely excited for them.

Never have an issue with this line, one.. I always leave my figure in a super dynamic pose (cause why the hell i buy this much if i can't pose it), two... Yes this figure is durable as a rock, my gwen, psylocke and deadpool (2.0) fell off 200 cm with no damage (accident btw).
I love this line since it can capture my imagination when i'm posing it instantly, my eyes and soul irritate whenever a figure is at a museum pose... No matter the scale (yes even my 1/4 scale spideys and deadpool i display it in a highly dynamic pose)

[antihero]

That’s why you buy the bootleg ones because they’re exactly the same but cheaper

[Enzo_Matrix]

I got their deathstroke, deadpool x force ver. 2.0, superman, iron spiderman, joker, arkham knight. Gonna get the batman reissue and put a new cape on him. My point Is its probably my favorite toy line right now next to mafex. Especially with the new bodies.

I’ve actually never had a problem getting that Revoltech Spider-Man to get into a vanilla pose and I don’t think the shoulders are that ugly. Also Revoltech is working on making better joints and they are doing it well as seen with some of the newer releases the joints are covered with panels of plastic to make if looks nicer.

[freakasaur]

What about spiderman 2.0? Will you give that one a chance?
I don’t own any Revoltec, but was thinking of getting that one. It looks like it hides the joints pretty well.

[Fariqqqq]

I just bought a revoltech amazing yamaguchi deadoool ver 1 and the shoulder joint is not very durable it keeps breaking so I threw it away

[studmuffin]

Most of your complaints are from old AY figures. These newer ones look great in vanilla poses and come with so much detail and accessories

[thered_hood]

i stoppped with amazing yamaguchi with magneto. it was so bad i swore off the line but arkham knight and deadpool 2.0 pulled me back into the line. now i am regretting that i skipped on cable, war machine and iron spider.

[RichardAcevedo]

What do ppl think about amazing Yamaguchi these days? The superman and black panther are godlike and the new upcoming moon knight and Flashes look great too.

[frankielinares]

I got a fake carnage thats worse than that venom the whole body crumbles the arms come off and the whole things loose still cool though

[KurtisJoseph]

I just bought Deadpool and received him. I like the pose ability... for static poses. These are impossible to use for stop motion though. The articulation is not smooth enough at all. For photography though? Dioramas They would be great.

[lamonteriste]

I understand anyone's gripes about amazing Yamaguchi figures and revoltech in general. I see why some people don't like them. I personally own around 22 or 23 Yamaguchi figures with a few pre orders on the way, so I am very familiar with their figures.

I must say to get them in what you call a "museum" pose or static pose, I call "boring" pose, it does take some work. I can get them in those poses and make it look good. It just takes a little. Honestly I don't know why anyone would spend that kind of money on it, if all you want to do is put it in a boring "museum" pose. If that's the case you're better off getting cheaper ones like Legends or goofy mcfarlane's.

Also, it's a little different for me. I can pose figures pretty well. I'm an artist. I have skills in 2d drawing, and c.g.i. modeling. Animation, poses, and form I understand so it helps when posing figures.

Oh yeah, the ones you said you started with really are their lesser figures. ESPECIALLY that venom. I have that one too and what a disappointment that was. Good god what a disappointment! But it still looks cool on my shelf. All about that posing.

[Opticrex]

Ik im a year late but how durable would you say amazing yamaguchi figures are?

[Sloth]

The arkham knight i have is an amazing figure, and gaps arent an issue. Before buying AK, i did my research and i almost didnt buy it. After having it in hand and posing it around, i bought a second AK. Stands are a must with these figures, especially for the crazy poses.

[Trypo]

I didn't always like yamaguchi but I got 2.0 spiderman and OH. MY. GOSH. it's amazing, not really fault that I can find

[-Dant-]

Could you link to where you get your figures

[Zapdos]

Yeah my main problem is getting a Revoltech and then after a week or 2 one of the joints gets super loose after posing. My next purchase will be the 2.0 Spider-Man but that may be it for a while
