Kind of a lame argument if you think about it, just buy what you like and let others buy what they like.
 
Hot Toys all the way. If money's your excuse for buying NECA, get a job or ask your mommy for an increase in allowance.

You can't put a price on talent buddy, NECA sculpts beat HT sculpts by miles.

Both companies have truly talented sculptors. Pitting sculptors against the other is moot IMHO, especially since both companies cater to different markets. Besides, AGAIN, a LOT of reviews from trusted, professional reviewers prove you wrong.

Yeah and they are not affraid to hide it either, have you seen those fugly arms on HT predators!:lol

If you're talking about the visible articulation points, well I welcome it just as long as I get articulation.

:lol:lol:lol

Come and say that when the dreads of your predator will start falling of because HT uses the cheapest materials known in this mysterious universe of ours.

Yes, and I betcha NECA uses the choicest materials for their products?

Am i the only one that thinks articulation is overrated, i'd rather have a great sculpt than the kiddie Toy-look of HT's predator figures.

No, but those who say that articulation is overrated collect statues and maquettes. If you want unmatchable sculpt, you should be collecting those instead. But for MOST people in sideshow collectors forum (or at least those not collecting maquettes and stats), who are either mainly interested in 1:6th scale figures, then you're in the minority in thinking that articulation is overrated.

If you want to see art look at NECA's P1 sculpt now that is art.

And so is HT's. AGAIN, I refer you to a lot of reviews that CONTRADICT your statement.


8th wonder said:
What's release date got to do with it? I don't need a review when i have had both V2 and V3 Robocop by HT plus the NECA figure.

The paintjob on HT's Robocop is absolutely fantastic but the sculpts is very simplistic compared to the NECA one.

It has everything to do with it since there's been leaps and bounds in advancement from that time it was released to today. Also, I agree. Both our arguments are moot point since we each have different tastes. In fact I'm standing by my assessment that this thread is now stupid.

Yeah not so much the Terminator ones. I'm thrilled with the work from both companies there for the most part. T-sarah's likeness could be better and Arnies face could be a bit longer while Neca's T-1000's face is a bit too long and their QC blows.

Neca's alien isn't dead on I guess but its certainly moreso than Hot Toys one. Personally I'd rather the lower-end close-to-accurate figure than a high end one that f___s up in the most important areas.

As for a NECA Dutch, yes they will be making one.

Not really feeling this argument anymore but just one thing; do you really think i care about reviews when i can judge things for myself? Some reviews are useful when deciding to buy, watch...etc something but when things present themselves in front of my own eyes and judgement i don't really give a rats %ss what somebody else thinks about it anymore. I'm arrogant enough to think i'm always right. If you need somebody to review a thing you can experience yourself at first hand then you need to become a bit more individualistic.

AGAIN We're comparing two companies that cater to two DIFFERENT markets and tastes.

People should really stop calling other people trolls for every little thing.

He is a HT kind of guy, venting that in a snappy slighty insulting:lol way does not make him a troll.

Nopes, I make my own assessment. BUT, when you state opinions as fact, then I present other opinions that state otherwise, especially when said opinion is in the majority. I just happen to agree with them since I see the figures first-hand. But if I misinterpreted your intent, then that's my bad. Still saying that most of us find HT's proportions good.

But you're right. Our arguments regarding this thread is getting stupid, especially since both of our views are right as far as each of us are concerned.
 
^^^ So I guess all Hottoys fans are _______s and all NECA fans are fun loving?

Hottoys is still the best

Hottoys now 66

to

NECA's 8

The numbers speak truth again...
