SooSoo's quality is 100% sharper. Just look at the quality in the hair alone. Sideshows hair looks like mushy chocolate that you would use as a cake topper.
On top of that is the better paint application overall. Sideshow hasn't improved their 1/6 figure quality since the dawn of time (and honestly might have downgraded over the years). They just don't put enough focus and attention to their 1/6 figure department, which is unfortunate since their prices continue to rise while their quality doesn't. I think Hot Toys kicking them out of the 1/6 Star Wars figure game years ago discouraged them from improving but who knows. I wish they would put more money and thought into it since they do make great prototypes but their production just always falls short.
