Don't know about the actual quality of the things you mentioned because I don't have any, but what I know is Hot Toys product are decent. So that I expect this Kshatriya should be have the quality on par with them!
Not to mention the plastic give me cheapo feel, but what's wrong with the hands?! A newbie gunpla collector that know basic modelling skills can do better than that. Those noob marks are freaking ugly!

Seriously I can get other great things with RM 700, or even buy 60 units of SD gundam will give me more satisfaction than this!
And I like the way you use 'you get what you've paid for', sometimes I also use in special cases but easily make people confuse or misunderstanding.

The 1st ones are of Hasbro's Star Wars. Two gargantuanly sized item, which I think fair for the price. AT-AT is the size of a small goat LOL
Never own any Hot Toys before, but from the looks of it, the headsculpt resembles the actor/actress potrayal in certain film nicely, so it it well justified. Not to mention the stitching for clothes and whatnot.
3rd party Transformers usually caters to high end collectors that want something that haven't been done officially by the makers, and from the looks of it, it is very nicely done and detailed, so it is money well worth spend.
As for ThreeA, I do own a few of them, in 1/12 scale. ThreeA is well known for its weathering on its product, and it is replicated nicely in 1/12 too. So I reckon that the bigger counterpart would be more satisfying, alneit one have to fork out more for such.
In the end, what is worth is the satisfaction from any transaction. If one is paying heftily for something, one would expect such product would bring its A game. It is not worth it to purchase something with one cold hard cash and getting a low deal in a bargain. This is just my opinion on such thing.
In the case of China plamo, I understand that I am paying less than the original, but in the end I get more than I was expecting, with the premiums and whatnot. So no problems here.
This is just merely my opinion. Haraplah Kesatria tu is just a isolated case and the others are in a very good shape
