Can’t really comment on the HCM-pro I completely avoided that line…too expensive…too small…I guess its because of the additional detail.
Extended MSIA are slightly smaller than the FIX, whereas FIXs remain true to its stated 1/144 scale. FIX paint jobs are slightly better than EMSIA FIX most always comes with some sort of stand the EMSIA don’t FIX’s design rather focuses on the more obscure gundam universe design mechas whereas the EMSIA deals with the more popular ones. FIX’s are more expensive.
As far as whether the benefits of getting the more expensive FIX version rather than the EMSIA being worthwhile?
I’m not really sure.
I try to avoid getting both because of the poor rubbery materials used on them. To date I only have 3 FIXs and Zero EMSIA
Now as far the original MSIA series is concern, I have more of that, as I believe that its initial price is really what theses things are worth $14US for the basic and up to $30 for the deluxe.

i've got zero HCM-Pro, EMSIA, and GFF because-
HCM-Pro - really small. EMSIA - too small and i dont like the rubbery feel of PVC. GFF - rubbery PVC and the frequent poor paint apps.
im looking forward to 1/144 Super HCM-Pro and 1/100 GFF Metal Composite lines. material and paint quality in both is so good, and size is just right.

Despite the diminutive size of the HCM-Pro's, I've been quite impressed with the line so far. The construction is superior to the EMSiA and GFF. These are meant to be played with unlike the GFF which are more for display. I quit purchasing the GFF because of the awful PVC material used in construction. I haven't bought any EMSiA partly because of the same issue of the PVC material. You don't get the entire figure painted in most of the HCM Pro series (except for the special painted versions--Sazabi, Nu) but there is tampo printing of details. I love the gimmicks that are featured in HCM Pros like removable pieces, some painted interior parts, working piston/shock absorbers, etc. In some ways I wish they weren't so small (1/200) but then again this makes them easier to store if you're buying a lot of them. I already put in a pre order for the Super HCM Pro. Really looking forward to this one. Even MORE gimmicks. Will get to be very expensive for me if Bandai forges ahead with many more 1/144 Super HCM Pros.

From the pictures I've seen of the EMSiA Freedom and Justice Gundams, the paint jobs on them don't look too great.

You might like the Super HCM Pro series. Larger size, great detailing. Check out my comments in the Super HCM Pro thread. I think I got a bad sample but it was still impressive. Mostly ABS plastic. Beats the tar out of my GFF RX-78 in terms of features and appearance.

i voted for HCM-Pro. well, actually it's a tie with GFF. slightly. more on 60/40. here's my take on the main differences: MSiA/EMSiA - think of it as a Revoltech toy. you can pose it & play it easily. cheaper too. GFF - if you're a 'for display' person like me, this is the right one for you. GFFs are detailed-heavy design for Gundams. tampo prints too which is great btw. for me, this is -- MUSEUM display Gundams. oh, you can pose it too. but not 'how' the way you pose your MSiAs... you know what i mean. i forgot... they're expensive. the price is 'for museum' too. ;D HCM-Pro - yup, they're so small. everyone will agree on that. buying this it's like buying an EMSiA figure. the price were 'almost' the same. issue here is just the scale. the rest, it's perfect for me. materials are same with our gundam kits. you can pose this too like 'how' you pose your regular MSiAs but with extra 'care'. now as to why i choose HCM-Pros. since, i'm a 'for display' person, i love looking at my Gundams figures. GFF is nice to look at. they do. but it takes a lot of space. remember, recent GFFs have display stands. so if i were to pose them 'in-flight' mode, then i really need to put the display stands. and that takes a lot of space -- if you have cabinets. but with HCM-Pros, space is not an issue. you can also put them on a 'small' display stand, but still you'll have some extra space. and looking at them and thinking this small figure is poseable too... makes my heart skips a beat. ;D

Which one of the three lines is similar to the Revoltech figures. I've been thinking of picking up some HCM's. Any suggestions fellows.

Probably EMSIA or even the regular MSIA.
