Favorite line of Figuarts?

We've come a long way in improving the quality of figuarts, haven't we? While there are still some QC issues, there were a lot of figuarts that got it right. What are some of your favorite figuarts that you felt that it got a lot right?

For me, it would be the Ryuki figuarts; specifically ryuki/ryuga, knight, odin. The Ryuki like of figuarts were great overall, but to truly talk about how great they are I should probably use ryuga as an example. Before the Blade, Renewel and Gaim figuarts, they did a damn good job with the mold of the ryuki figuarts. While scaling was an issue, the detail on figuarts like ryuga was really great, the accessories was plentiful, posing the figure was amazing, and they made great use of the contact beast as both the effect part and weapons. It's a shame that only a select few came with their contact beasts (who would seriously buy femme and blancwing separately?). I guess times are changing to even include that much accessories. Still, the Ryuki figuarts has a special place in my heart for being a great line of figuarts. They were the Renewel figuarts before those existed (funny that the Renewel figuarts was announced during when the ryuki line was still going :p).

Gaim's figuarts have all been spectacular. But then again, they are the newest. Best technology and all that.

If we're talking pre-modern Figuarts, I really enjoy the engineering on my Ixa, though I'm not sure if he was part of a "line".

Come to think of it...I can't really think of any Figuarts "lines" that I've thought were stand-out. There are plenty of individual ones that I adore, but don't necessarily like the rest of their "line". Another Agito, for example. Ground, Flame, Storm, and Trinity forms of Agito were all kind of meh proportionally and aesthetically, but Another Agito is a serious contender for "favorite Figuart". He was also my first. I guess I knew what I liked.
 
Before I get to some more Kamen Rider, I'll state what I think are great super sentai figuarts.

Probably the mmpr/zyuranger figuarts (mostly mmpr, because **** the zyuranger price and zyuranger is one of the super sentais I hate the most). I think it's one of the most detailed and complete teams we've gotten; even though it's that way for obvious reasons. Sure the set lacks certain details.... The majority of the rangers are missing a lot of key accessories.... A lot of them came with accessories that shouldn't have been in them... They lack some detail when compared to incomplete sentai/pr figuarts.... Some nitpicks that doesn't make it as good as a lot of Kamen rider figuarts.... Ok, they still have ways to go. But for what we got, I'd say they're currently the best complete team figuarts. Especially when compared to teams like shinkenger or gokaiger.
 
No one like the Showa rider line? ZX has bad QC issues but the other riders from the Showa line from 2011 - now has been great in my opinion.
