This is a great thread.
There's no question that sculpting and production quality on the Hot Toys stuff is absolute paramount in the industry. Yeah it's kinda pricey, but like Jason said, those figures are definitely worth the money. You get what you pay for. Would I like to see that kind style of figure in mego scale? Well, that'd be interesting to say the least, but I'm not 100% sure the mego community as a whole, would totally embrace something like that, especially given what those figures would cost... I've always said when I'm sculpting my stuff, I always struggle with exactly how realistic to make it. In my opinion if you go too far, making the figure ultra realistic (like Hot Toys), it sort of loses it's "mego-ness". I dunno... It's a tough call, but I'd have to agree that the Zica stuff is probably the closest mass produced mego scale stuff we've seen to Hot Toys. While EMCE has produced amazing figures as well, that are by far the "megoey-est"... I absolutely adore them both. That's the great thing now about the different companies doing mego scale. There's something for everyone.
