Someone was comparing with Marvel Legends so I responded to that.
$20 is still $20. Paying $20 for a Marvel Legend, for me, is throwing $20 by the window. It's just not worth it, neither financially or visually. I don't enjoy those figures.
I have collected figures ever since I was a kid, I have gone through various stuff. I loved poor action figures like Marvel Legends when I was a kid.
There was a time when I was into Hasbro, then McFarlane, then Neca, then Revoltech, Figma and even Figuarts. Then I discovered Hot Toys and my vision of toys changed. Those figures were so well done that I thought to myself "why invest $20 or $30 or even $50-$70 in figures that feel cheap compared to Hot Toys? Let's save all the money and space for Hot Toys figures".
Then came Mezco One:12 figures, and at first, I wasn't sure if it was totally worth it. I am still to this day comparing Hot Toys and Mezco figures. Hot Toys are the most realistic figures (by saying Hot Toys I also talk about Blitzway, ThreeZero and other brands doing incredible 1/6 figures) but the scale, in the long-term collecting, has become a problem for me. It takes too much space, I'm very worried about manipulating them too much and almost never toy with them (in that once I find the perfect pose, I almost never touch my Hot Toys again, I just stare at them).
Mezco are really liked Hot Toys but smaller. Of course you lose detail with such a small scale but in the end, I'm happier with Mezco figures. You often have an additional head with the figures, which Hot Toys hasn't done for a very long time. It just gives you more options. And they are more poseable globally, and I'm less stressed about posing them, they are very solid figures. And it makes you save a lot of space. But of course Hot Toys are still the best looking figs on the market.
So it's not really a matter of price in the end. It's a matter of what you prefer. Marvel Legends really does nothing for me. I respect those who still like and collect those figures but for me it's just not worth it.
Wow I googled Comicave and I had never heard of them. Thank you! 75% Diecast and light-up features, awesome. Their Hulkbuster looks incredible, how come had I not heard of this company! Do you own one of their Iron Man? I would love to see a pic of a Comicave Iron Man and a Mezco figure to compare the scale.
. Nothing you’re saying can be taken as objective the minute you say the product they are making today is comparable to what they were making in the 90’s. That’s just categorically and factually false. If you don’t like plastic figures, that’s understandable. Most of us are here because we enjoy high end collectibles. So Mezco being the next evolution of 6” figures, at least I think so as I own most of em, can be stated with objective confidence but that statement about ML is just hyperbole at best.
