Though it's as the other guy said, Bandai still seems to suffer from design by committee and Koto's apporach of inviting external folks, who sometimes have a decade-spanning obsession with 12th scale plamo dolls or mecha musume, seems to yield overall more interesting results but as far as cheap and decent dolls go, it's hard to compete with Bandai on any level.
Remember that cast metal MD hip-calf connectors are still popular aftermarket upgrades, so it's not like the other lines are all perfectly rugged.
