>>8540606>forgets ACTUAL best Japanese toy company>1000Toysnear-perfect sculpt, paintwork and articulation. Zero QC issues, with the exception that "Master Chief's wrist joints are too small" and "Hellboy's fist looks too blocky".
You get what you pay for.
Also
>S.H. Figuarts (Bandai)Second best quality, Marvel figures tend to have slightly less articulation than their other lines, but overall great figures. Getting better with number of accessories.
>Figma (Good Smile Company)Best anime likeness available. Going up in price, joints can be fragile, 40% won't stand on their own without a...uh...stand. Getting worse with number of accessories.
>Storm CollectablesNot Japanese, Hong Kong company. Figures are 1/10 scale and won't fit with your other figures, except McFarlane. Articulation is variable, sometimes great, sometimes poor. Sculpts are great.
>MafexAgreed, older figures can have serious qc issues, always research the individual figures before buying - the good ones are fucking fantastic. Getting better with accessories too.
>Revoltech (Kaiyodo)Second-best articulation, figures designed to do the absolute max range of poses. Older figures look weird in the A-pose (standing stright up). Great accessories. Sculpts tend to be stylised, but consistently good.
>SentinelSuperb quality, very expensive. Make mostly robots. Great all-round.
