Yes, Figmas, Revoltechs, and SH Figuarts tend to be smaller than a MOTUC figure. The only exception I've seen to this is SH Figuarts Broly, who's even bigger than MOTUC Ram Man. Still, I've never had a problem with them being smaller. I don't really get the "bigger than = better than" mindset that seems to permeate this hobby. As far as articulation goes, Figma and SH Figuarts figures tend to do whatever I want without any issues. I've had some aggravations with Revoltech figures though. I'll give you that they are more expensive and the character selection is typically slim for a given series. Still, the average Figma will come with several different expressions, a highly posable body, some accessories, a rack of hands to hold all their accessories and give you more display options, a support stand to help with dynamic posing, and collector friendly packaging. Not only that, what you see for the prototype is what you'll end up with in hand. Max Factory has never cut corners on a production piece and then whined about rising plastic and labor costs in a pathetic attempt to justify shortchanging fans like Mattel has done.
