Otaku-ism

No, nendoroids are beautiful little chibi-like figures that have above quality features most of the time.

This is my personal favorite out of the ones that I own, just to give you an example.

And although you don't like joints, if you are fond of mech anime, then you probably might enjoy some Revoltech's. (Not sure if this was talked about already in the thread O.o)

I own quite a few (Around 20-25) and since they are mechs, the joints don't really matter due to them having to look like that really.

This one, that I own, is my favorite Revoltech. I contacted someone in Japan who went to a show that was selling this figure (Because it's nowhere in the U.S. lulz) and they were actually committed to getting it for me thus it is my collection

This is a rarer one, but they have simpler ones with just as much detail (I just got this one because 1. I love Gurren Lagann and 2. It's a Metallic version of one I already have). They really are amazing if you like mech anime.
