    Ah right, I saw the specs on the Kuro Kara Kuri Optimus, and it said it was about 7-8", so maybe slightly larger. I do have the ThreeA DLX BB, but that was only about $160 from memory. The prices for the Kuro Kara Kuri figures are upwards of $400. I'm sure they're great figures, but I couldnt justify the price for the size. I think the Furai Action series is a nice sweet spot for me to get a pretty decent looking figure with great articulation at a reasonable price. Might check out some other reviews to see if they do side by side comparisons.

    The 3A DLX series figs are for sure the better bang for the buck when it comes to movie figs. If you like a stylized version of G1 and/or IDW, painted and detailed to the nines with great articulated and hidden joints, the Kuro Kara Kuri figs are awesome but their price is definitely a barrier to entry.

    Wow, this Furai Action Optimus poses so well! Glad I picked it up. Looks great on display!

    I may still get it, I'm not sure yet but I'm getting some Megaman kits first.

    Just relax the pelvic thrust and it's fine.

    It's the proportions not the posing.

    I like it, but looking at it objectively, he's about 20% too much leg.

    I see. That's the same dilemma with the Revoltech figures.
