I don't think that there's any major ruckus over Medi vs. HT, but it's only natural to compare when the exact same character is produced by two companies. Personally, I don't care who makes the better figure, I'm in pursuit of an all around great Jack Sparrow figure where I can look at it from top to bottom and be very satisfied with what I have. When I first bought the Medi, i thought it was great because the only thing to compare it to was Zizzle or however you spell. Now that HT Jack images are showing up, there are clear faults with Medi Jack where HT is showing some strength. The Medi belt being stuck at one size isn't favorable because if you don't fatten his waist enough, it won't sit properly, whereas the HT will have real belts and straps so you can futz your Jack exactly how you want him. Medi Jack is also lacking in belt accessories and even in number of belts to be Dead Man's Chest Jack, and looking at the buckle on his sword shoulder strap, it's a Curse of the Black Pearl buckle, not DMC and AWE style. All around, it's a great figure, and so is the HT, and I plan to own both, but I also feel neither by itself is a flawless figure, but I see in them the ability to merge the two to get a perfect Jack Sparrow figure, which I think will be the greatness of HT's offering, the customing that will occur is going to produce a very impressive gallery from the board members and as I love POTC and look very much forward to AWE, I'm glad to have this thread and the others that will follow, to share in POTC joy with my fellow fans.
