Talk:Ultra Monster 500/@comment-26235365-20180417022004

To be honest, I was pretty disappointed in this toyline. In my personal opinion, I feel like Bandai really set the standard for size and design with their Ultra Monster Series figures, and compared to those figures, these just seem incredibly small. To me, a lot of them even borderline mini-figures and I feel like a lot of their designs are far less detailed than their UMS counterparts (the 500 Gan-Q in particular seems sloppy to me).

I think what annoys me most about these though is that they're being sold so rapidly that I can no longer find the UMS figures on traditional stores (or if I do, their prices are bumped up way higher than they should be), and the fact that a lot of them look a lot like the UMS versions on store pictures and I usually don't notice the figure's miniscule size and less detailed paint-job until after I realize it's a series 500 one after I receive the item. Doesn't help that sometimes the seller confuses the item as well and doesn't label it properly.
