Hot Toys or NECA?

[Gigerfan]

Hi, I'm new to collecting these types of figures(mostly of my collection is statues), so which is the better company to collect? Money isn't really a problem and I want to get the best quality for my collection. Hot Toys and Neca are the main company's I'm interested in because of their Terminator, Alien and Predator lines. Who has the better reputation for quality and value retention? Thanks in advance.

There isn't any comparison between cheap toys and what Hot Toys, Medicom and Enterbay are doing.

You get what you pay for.

No nonono - Medicom? I most definitely would take a NECA figure over a Medicom any day of the week. Medicom are the 'low end' of high end whereas NECA are the high end of low end. With sculptors like Kyle windrix and his fans-eye for the stuff hes working on I feel NECAs 'toys' are at least better or more worthwhile than the s__ttier 1/6ths that are out there.

You want the best of all-sculpted figures? Buy NECA.
You want the best of 1/6th? Consider none but Hot Toys and Enterbay (if they ever actually release their figures)

Gives a new meaning to that doesn't it. Especially when you pay for an oily Batman.

My only Medicom is Kaneda so far, and I'm a little disappointed about how he looks in comparison with the awesomeness of the bike.

But it's really only a minor thing. I wouldn't have gone for Medicom if it wasn't for their AKIRA stuff.

Enterbay's figs are considerably overpriced and Medicom's figures are as well, largely being out of scale and disproportionate garbage with Hasbro weapons and poor likenesses.

 

[Gigerfan]

I agree to a certain extent. The way Hot Toys are going, they will be the only choice in the future.

I haven't had any Medicom figures yet, and I'm unfamiliar with their products, except for the RAH Goku I was planning to buy. Any of you guys have an idea of what to watch out for in Medicom figures and if you know of any problems with their Son Goku figure.

You can just PM me the details instead, so as we don't stray too much off-topic on the thread

@ Gigerfan:

Oh, I hope not. As much as I love HT, I don't want them to be the only ones running the show. That's bad for us consumers. In fact, I really want them to have some more competition, hopefully those that can give them a run for their money.

 

[CelticPredator]

Oh and Gigerfan....seeing is how Predators was pretty much EXACTLY like the leaked script, I want to call you an annoying troll, and thanks for your idiotic input...

BEST POST THIS YEAR!

 

[Gigerfan]

Yeah, right.

Haven't you made a big enough arse of yourself already over that movie? I guess not.

Nobody cares.

This is probably one of your stupid threads.

I used to look at my old Sideshow 1:6 figures and think they were the best, but then HT came along and threw that out the window. Almost every time I see a new release for HT, I think they're taking things to another level. The trouble with that is I end up comparing everything to the way they do things. If there was a another manufacturer out there producing products that were on the same level, I would buy them in a heartbeat. It just seems that at the moment Hot Toys are the only player on the market that covers most of the licenses I'm interested in. I already own about 30 of them, so it's as though I'm locked into that brand for the time being. Competition is always a good thing, that's for sure.

Because my name is Sandman

Also, you still made a bigger ass then I did. Seriously, I gotta get those posts. They're HILARIOUS.

 

[CelticPredator]

I had too....irrelevent...maybe be. But entertaining...hell yes.

The only people talking trash in this thread are the people that claim to know every detail of a movie they haven't seen.

The people that claim to have access to a leaked script of scripts from PREDATORS are fooling you and themselves.

The only leaked scripts of this film were designed to throw the 'spoilers' types off the track and make them look stupid.

Deal with it, you've been fooled if you believe that they know everything because they have the 'script'.

Please, post the script (s) so we can all see them for the fakes they are when the movie comes out officially.

I bet they don't post the scripts because that would be a one way ticket to FAIL land.

Now either get yourselves to an advanced screening (like I have) or wait till the movie comes out to find out who the FAKES in this thread are.

Save the insults, or at least have something funny to say that will give us a good laugh.



You guys haven't even seen the movie... Your entire 'argument' revolves around a 'leaked' script that was out months ago, etc.

The leaked script (s) were deliberately released so that people like you (who think they know it all) would make fools of themselves on message boards.

So you wouldn't try ruining the movie before people had seen it.

Get it through your heads, the leaked scripts are 99% fake. Why would anyone believe what a bunch of kids have to say about an unreleased movie, why would we think otherwise, c'mon.

When the movie comes out, it will be obvious that the only facts you guys had were what was official released to the media by FOX, etc.

You guys aren't movie insiders, despite your desperate attempt to fool other people into thinking you are.

If FOX was that stupid, you guys would be making this movie.

You have nothing to do with it at all, you're just the fake spoiler bait.

You fell into their spoiler-trap, simple as that.

Don't get angry about it, insulting people etc, it's all your fault.

You know it makes sense!

Just wait and see.

 

[Rotfish]

lmao, I still remember that. But really, why are we bringing that argument back up? Even thought Gigerfan has followed troll-like behavior time and time again, this thread has gone through countless potential almost-flame wars. Let's not add one more to the list, lest yet another Aliens & Robots thread is locked down. Keep it chill, guys.

 

[CelticPredator]

This is a pointless thread anyway. It was bound to be locked.

I mean, Hot Toys in a NECA thread...wow. NECA in a Hot Toys Thread? Look out!

But comparing them? Yer in for a world of hurt.

 

[Gort Predator]

Hot toys for sure

 

[JEDSTER]

HOT TOYS is way better than Neca.

But then again HOT TOYS got some bad reputation on customer service

The rubber on the chest cracks. They look awesome but not worth the price or the hassle of a damaged figure at Medi's pricepoint.

WTF?! Why are trolls bringing the Predators argument into this thread? That is sooooo weeks ago. Let it go before Maulfan winds his tighty whities into a thong and busts out the ban hammer through multiple infractions.

Hey, I had too. Sorry Nam, but that guy needed to get it rubbed in his face.

Just get satisfaction out of the fact that his whining here is proof that his ass is still clearly chaffed after your reaming.
