awful is a bit strong of a word. I'm in the camp right now of liking it better than the SHMA.
I do tend to like the NECA figures slightly more in person than i do in their publicity shots, whereas I have been disappointed with a number of SHMA upon seeing them in person (especially Gigan and G'64) rather than their publicity shots.
There are definitely some red flags for me on the SHMA pictures, especially in the shots that werent released by tamashii. The shots that have been released by tamashii look fine, but have historically been a bit misleading (covering up seams entirely, articulated fingers, range of motion the figure cant manage, teeth that are the right size, eyes that arent derpy, etc)
I guess what i am trying to say, is that both figures look better to me than the Bandai standard, but beyond that i'm reserving judgement until they are on the street. Neither line has pre-order status from me anymore.
