I like how the one guy uses on single instance of a spartan having severe qc issues as proof that the entire line sucks, then has the audacity to say that the other guys' many many more quantity of Spartans have no such qc issues, and overall rarely has any at all, and uses the "that's anecdotal" argument.
I too have at least 4 dozen McFarlane halo figures, and most likely 2 doz n or so more, and my experience with QC has been very minimal; one or two joints that struggle for one reason or another, and the widespread odst/rookie wrists, and that's it. For the cheap price point, the McFarlane halo line was emasculate, and shows that McFarlane CAN do a lot better than he is doing right now with the 40k line.
And that's the point; McFarlane 40k line is nice, but it COULD be a LOT better, like the joytoy line, of which is superior in every regard besides price, and even when the price difference is considered/compensated for, joytoy can still come out ahead.
CAN, as in, many times, and NOT "Everytime", because some figures, like the librarian, can suck hard, or like some orca, the +$20 difference hardly gets you much, etc.
McFarlane scaling is pretty much non existent. They're about 7", and that seems to be all that todd cares about.
Meanwhile joytoy is putting MUCH more effort into at least making guardsmen smaller than astartes, etc. No, it's not perfect, but scaling in Warhammer isn't either. Books throw out one number, meanwhile the minis another, meanwhile official animations and artworks do their own thing, etc. To expect perfect scaling with a franchise that has the furthest from is probably the textbook definition of some sort of mental illness.
Again, nobody is saying joytoy is absolutely perfect, just good enough, which is genuinely the best one can hope for. McFarlane CAN do better, but clearly isn't by choice.
