Medicom has bad quality

[VALVOLINER]

oops my bad i forgot leon was hot toys, what would be a decent price for him im only seeing him in the $140-150 range. I dont have any sideshow products, how are they compared to hot toys?

I saw RE4 Leon for 129 + 30$(shipping) on Ebay yesterday.It was a Hongkong seller but dont remember his name..Sorry
I paid 65$ + shipping for him a long time ago ( I won an Ebay auction)..Im afraid but I think that 129$ would be the cheapest price you can find now

I'm not to concerned about the quality of the Medicom figures, although it's true, they DO have issues... but, which brand hasn't? The thing that annoys me most about Medicom, and, it's very obviously that they are the leader in this discipline: their figures are shamelessly overpriced. Outside of Japan, that is. The way I see it, Medicom makes figures for the Japanese market, and over there the prices are more or less justified. So, the ones I'm really blaming here, are the resellers/distributors, with a big player like Sideshow up front, that don't manage to offer the Medicom figures at a reasonable price point, set according to THEIR market. Selling Japanese products on the US market for Japanese prices, that's just taking advantage of the collector. Daylight robbery.
I cancelled my Medicom orders with Sideshow, because the newer items have reached a new sad price record of $179. At that price, they can keep 'em for all I care. Medicom figures are nice, but certainly not "$179 nice".

Not sure how it works exactly regarding price but I have a buddy of mine who has family in Hong Kong (I know that's not Japan, but might be considered the same "market") and every figure I've had him price out for me has been more or less the same price over here....go figure?

Well guys, I saw this thread today and I've to say that I still think that Medicom's quality products is really bad.
As this thread started, I had problems with the Spiderman's hand.

I'm not talking about the quality of their sculpts or clothes. I'm disappointed with the durability of their plastics.

I opened a thread before, so you can see it here:

The spiderman hand is just one of the problems I had with Medicom.
I had to return a Darth Maul figure because the ball joint neck came broken. The end of the story: I paid 2 times this item because of the shipping cost and taxes of my country.
