Bodies: Sideshow vs. Hot Toys vs. Medicom

[pickard]

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but I'll ask it again.

What are the relative heights of the different manufacturer's 1/6th figures?

I'm getting the Hot Toys Batman Begins and I wonder how the Medicom Superman Returns will look next to it.

And how will they all fit in my Sideshow collection?

Any ideas?

Medicom figures are typically undersized, especially when placed next to Sideshow bodies. HT Batman may be up to an inch taller than the Medicom Superman. You're better off going with the cheaper HT Superman, not to mention it's the superior product (likeness, outfit, body, and price).

Thanks for the info.

RedstaR, I agree that the HT Superman is superior in every way that I can see, but I can't find it. Other than on eBay for $200+.

I then presume that clothing between the different manufacturers are not compatible, right? If Sideshow has the 'tallest' figures then it'll be tight fit using clothes from any other manufacturers... e.g. Mulder can't wear Supermans red & blue... :o

I'm running into the same problem with the Takara Batman. Give it a couple weeks for the price to drop, most US sellers haven't received their shipment yet.

I'm getting the HT and Takara Batman Begins figs, and I already have the DC Direct & Medicom. It'll be interesting to have them side-by-side for the differences in scale ( DC Direct is 13" !).

Looking forward to a picture of all 4 side-by-side.
