I'd argue that Mattel's scans are equal to if not greater than Jakks. Especially now with this new face print technology they're using. People seem to forget Jakks had plenty of stinkers too. Equal to? They are miles better, there is no comparison

Don't forget about the lackluster efforts of some of the old WCW & ECW figures. TNA figures were pretty good, especially after Jakks started making them

Jake was horrible. I only buy Mattel. 100x better looking Who the hell is Jake? I'd argue that Mattel's scans are equal to if not greater than Jakks. Especially now with this new face print technology they're using. People seem to forget Jakks had plenty of stinkers too. The scans weren’t the problem, the paint application was and they’ve finally sorted it after 8 years. Ruff Figures showed a good example of how amazing Mattel scans would look if painted properly:

Overall - Yes, Mattel (Mainly Elites) are some of the best figures made, almost like a scaled down version of the actual person. But in certain areas, Jakks did much better than Mattel, the most notable one being headscans. While Mattel does good headscans and are getting even better, Jakks made some of the best i've seen. Jakks nailed the majority of Edge figures while Mattel struggles to make a decent one. Same with HBK in his later years, Jakks ones looked great while Mattel's look like a lifeless, hollow person with overly orange hair. A couple of others Jakks did better than Mattel at are: Triple H (Except for his Basic 23 and Elite 60) The Undertaker Rob Van Dam Booker T No. Biggest myth there is. Jakks were not better. This is 100% false.

Regardless, if you use your functioning eyes and a lil reading comprehension, you'd realize I'm saying that IMO Mattel are better. And I was commenting on the posters that said Jakks were better.

Overall figure quality yes. Especially now with the new face printing tech. The few I have displayed, I’d love to replace with figures that have the new technology. Scale too. That was Jakks biggest problem. It’s not far fetched to say that some of Jakks scans were better. The big heads sometimes took away from that. Also Rey Mysterio being the same height as Kane.
But my best figure memories are being a kid at the height of BCA and TTL and I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything. But there’s no doubt Mattel is the best.
I would love to display a lot more Mattel’s than I do, but I simply don’t have space anymore nor would I want to spend 100s of dollars a month. I’ll just keep getting ones of my favorites I really like. I’m really looking forward to the new Seth Rollins.

The Best? Galoob. Why? 14 inch Lex Luger.
Second Best? OSFTM. Why? Vibrating Lex Luger.

Galoob were awesome remco were awesome too
Mattel elites of course can be awesome, but can also be frustrating
I wish MDT had idealized the wrestlers closer to the way e30 animal was and not the way elite flairs have been. err on the side of being thick not skinny. also i'd rather most heavyweight figures had something closer to DM Hogan arms instead of the terrible triple h arms.

I think the overly (Jakk)ed up bodies of Jakks figures were the bigger problem.
