Well each generation of figures has built on the success of the last and added further refinement and realism. Genesis 2 Bends much better than any figure before which is the major difference between Genesis and V4.

In my opinion the Genesis 2 Figures are the best figures available atm. It can seem a little intimidating if your coming from a point where the relationship with the generation 4 figures has been long standing. But its really not as difficult as it seems.

Think of it like this an older computer may work fine to check your emails or write a letter and in effect its a good computer. But if your wanting to render scenes with 10+ figures or play the latest 3D game you may need a newer computer model. 3D figures are a little similar to this, really theres nothing wrong with V4 or M4 or V3/M3 for that matter. But the Gen 6 figures offer the latest tech and innovation in a figure and in turn provide higher quality. So it really depends what you expect from your figures.

To me realism and ease of use is high up on the list and the Genesis Figures deliver on both of these aspects.

There really is no right or wrong thing to do just different tools and options.
