Gotta love how even in 2012 people still proudly hold immense ignorance to Medicom products. This isn't 1998/2003 anymore Medicom has released plenty of amazing high quality figures though it is obvious that their strength lies in doing more manga/anime styled characters, where as far as accuracy goes no other 1/6 company can compete (just look at Hot Toys AWFUL attempt at City Hunter and it becomes pretty obvious that they aren't exactly the best at everything). Medicom bodies are much sturdier these days and also taller. Their Jojo's Bizarre Advenutre is probably the best 1/6 lineup in existence, especially since it is one of the only ones that actually has more than five or so figures. As for these two figures, it's weird because these actually look a lot like older Medicom figures, what with the weird proportions (mostly the small legs) and somewhat cheap looking material. It does look really comic book accurate though which is actually pretty awesome. I need to see more shots to properly judge it I guess.
Seriously though give the blasted company a chance. Yeah they cannot do realistic faces like Hot Toys and Enterbay, but they certainly are very strong at more cartoony ones. I also find it funny people still refer to instances of their older figures breaking or melting. You guys ever heard of Enterbay or Hot Toys? Most recent GoD release by Enterbay was a disaster and almost every Hot Toys figure with rubber has had issues, in some cases so bad the figure is pretty much ruined. Yeah every company makes mistakes and all three have learned from them. I also hate the random horror stories of modern Medicom figures breaking. Often times these are the minorities, but since no one goes around proudly saying how well their random Medicom figures hold up, everyone assumes it's the norm.
Plus, as much as I love Jim Lee...I never liked his version of the Joker. maybe I can sell the Joker on eBay and re-coop some of my money?
