Mattel has better quality, but Jakks has a bigger character selection.

see the problem is everyone is probably in their heads, comparing Jakks to Mattel elites. which Jakks figures are pretty much basics. so are Jakks better than elites??? heck no. are they better than Mattel basics? ??

When I bought my first Mattel WWE it was b35 Daniel Bryan. When I opened him I realized there wasnt an accessory like Jakks would have. Then I saw how clean and smooth the figure was. I hate the plastic Jakks used compared to Mattel. Mattel does detailamd tattoos and a lot of head sculpts better. I dont need half the charcters they made, so Im more than happy with Mattel

Mattel doesn't make any characters equipped for space or underwater battle. How the hell am I supposed to make Dolph Ziggler fight a shark when he doesn't even come with an air tank?
Also none of Mattel's guys even sweat?

After all these years, I actually think JAKKS is still better than Mattel at face scans and texture. Mattel is #1 though, their figures does put jakks to shame but I still love both. THE only thing that I know for a fact that I can give the absolute seal of approval over Mattel on, is that the Classics Superstar Series kept THE SAME PACKAGING throughout the entire run. That, is awesome. Hell yeah OSC! Imo The elite series look tacky MOC with all the different packaging. I wish they at least kept the HOF packaging the same. wish the legends line never failed and we were on series 53 by now with same packaging! tag teams too!

Mattel figures are easier to fix up if you want to change things around.
However, I feel that the Jakks faces/head scans were better at times than Mattel's.
Just take a look at a Jakks Classic Diesel figure and then look at the Mattel one. The Jakks one blows the Mattel one away with likeness.

I'm not sure why so many people like Jakks. The body molds where all similar. Regal and Kane and MVP all had the same body's with a 6 pack !.
Plus the head scans where horrible Triple H for example.

That's the thing about this thread though. It's in the Mattel board of a figure forum asking if Mattel is better. Obviously it's going to be a lopsided beat-down. Not one person in this thread said they like Jakks figures better than Mattel. This thread is so stupid and pointless it makes my head hurt.

It's not even close in terms of quality. Mattel is far better than Jakks. But man Jakks had an unbelievable amount of characters and they are the first company that ever decided to make legends figures and they made almost everyone you could think of. But Jakks did some crazy, stupid decisions. Andre the Giant with two straps, Jacket Sleeves molded onto the arms, Rey Mysterio taller than Diesel. They had so many mistakes in terms of accuracy while Mattel seems to be very accurate with their figures.

Jakks were aiming more for the action figure feel and seriously me being a big ELITE collector over BASICS (which I still like) who cares about ab crunches really?? who sits there and plays with their figs 24/7?? petty IMO..
Oh and if Mattel is so good how come theres no photos in the database???
There is only one way to settle this between the 2 companies...
A TRADITIONAL SURVIVOR SERIES TLC ELIMINATION HELL IN A CELL STAFF MATCH! jakks team vs mattel team, no holds barred, no dq, NO MERCY!!!

What face scans are you guys who think Jakks did better looking at? Their Divas scans are absolutely atrocious. Has anyone looked at the Jakks Sid lately? To say that the Jakks Classic figures are better is just downright silly. Even now, with fewer legends, the Mattel Legends clearly blows Jakks out of the water. Jakks had nice ideas, but they knew they had a captive audience and did next to nothing to improve their product.

yea my issue is the character selection.. i just want more people available to be signed. i know MDT cant help that so its sorta out of there hands. but i would like to see some of these slots used for newer guys/gals. Jakks Classics i admit did well with that. and some of thier face scans are better. Mattel has some "cartoony" feel scans.
