Kotobukiya ARTFX J Yami Yugis, from left to right: Passionate Duelists (2026), -Unmei no Duel!!- (2012), "original" (2016)
Had to get 'em all in one shot for comparison's sake.
I very much prefer the acrylic base and matte pants on 2026 versus the other 2. Also the cards are glued into his hand, as I know people complain about losing the mini Duel Monsters cards that these figures come with. Hair and clothing is more detailed with finer lines. But I dislike the fact that the Puzzle is on a chunky fixed chain (the other 2 have real chains).
2016 is still my favorite. Yami looks best with a smirk and a sassy tilt to his hips. It's all about the attitude.
