Balance is right. Their sculpts aren’t the best, their articulation isn’t the best, they only impress people desperate to have toys of certain designs with decent articulation.

This
Those idiots could cut a bit more of the ass and add it to the legs allowing for better articulation and sculpt, but nope. Which is why their Spiderman figuers don't have fitting articulation and many other figures are hindered by it.
Proper adult collector action figures should be able to do both front split (what many retarded toy reviewers refer to as muh splits) and side split (what Barbie could do already in the 60's) and high kick, but very few do that which is a shame.

Perfect balance between delays and QC issues.

Articulation is pretty much the same as SHF but the plastic itself feels weaker, cheaper, i dont know how to describe it.

They provide the best overall package in terms of figure imo. Only problem is the QC is hit and miss and I'm not necessarily a fan of the plastic they use. Other than those two minor gripes, I consider them to be my go to if I want the best figure of a particular character. But at the same time for certain things I'm not a big enough fan of to warrant such high quality and expensive figures. For example, I like the comic Avengers, but I'm not a big enough fan to build out the whole team at Mafex prices. But for Batman or Spider-Man stuff? I will buy that shit all day every day. I fucked up bigly by skipping Catwoman and I'm beginning to feel that way about Ben Reilly.

I had a few break on me. The ones that haven't broke have impressed me.

My advice: diecast pins like figuarts, stromger plastic. If you do that i'll buy every figure

I'm like the one person on this board who likes Toy Biz still besides subby and even I think you're too harsh on the Mafex because the TB women were awful. The worst crime of the Mafex is just being mediocre looking.
Now I do think the Hasbro sculpts for the women are better than Mafex in a lot of ways (sculpts. Just sculpts. Not the paint, not the joints, just the basic sculpts) though.

I was being facetious but yes, Toy Biz females are literally the worst toys I have ever seen, as to your other point, I can see where you're coming from but let's agree to disagree

Those actually look pretty aight, that horrible Gambit coat aside. Oof.
Myself I feel Bandai's best usually beats Mafex, but then top-end Bandai usually mogs any competition. That said Bandai's more middle-tier stuff is pretty neck and neck with Mafex, at least when Medicom doesn't shit the bed with QC.
Also Mafex's Robocop makes literally every other previous Robocop (except maybe the Hot Toys) obsolete.

THIS. That they think their fragile Chinese plastics are worth $100+ now is hubris of the highest order.
