All I have to say is Mcfarlane owns NECA. NECA's figs are so flawed. To begin with, the scans are usually crap compared to mcfarlanes. For instance, the Devils Rejects Baby... holy **** that is the ugliest fig ever created. Another problem they have is that their figs have a problem of falling all the time. I wish Mcfarlane had kept their Sin City license, they would have made SC figs way better. And their cult classics line is inferior to movie maniacs. Their figs also arent nearly as poseable as Mcfarlane. Overall, NECA sucks and is nothing more than a second rate Mcfarlane, if even that. Thoughts?

I am beginning to like NECA a lot better. Its not so much the quality of the product as it is the variety of the product.
The only thing McFarlane makes that I am really in love with are Sportspicks. Then they occasionally whip out a decent movie figure(Robocop) or line(Napoleon Dynamite, Terminator 3), while NECA has the Entertainment industry all but cornered. They grab Sin City, and make excellent figures, and their Cult Classics line has completely outclassed the recent Movie Maniacs efforts.
I think the products are comperable: Both great, but flawed. NECA just has a better knack for pleasing fans than McFarlane does. I feel McFarlane has neglected its entertainment licensing, and needs to focus more on movie/tv/music figures. They need to end the Alien, Predator, and Alien vs. Predator crap... I think everyone is getting kind of sick of it.
Its hard to choose, but considering 75% of the figures I have purchased over the past few months have been made by NECA, I threw my vote in for them.
And saying that McFarlane figures are quote: "more posable than Neca figures" is redundant. Neither are posable, or meant to be posable. However, I have many figures from both companies, and the average NECA figure has more points of articulation than the average McFarlane figure.
I think McFarlane needs to re-vamp the movie maniacs line, and give fans what they want. Collectors wanted Frank the Bunny(Donnie Darko)... NECA gives it to them.
Fans want Jules and Vincent(Pulp Fiction)... make it happen, McFarlane.

The only NECA figures I have ever gotten are Sin City, and they are all phenomenal. But, I do give the edge to McFarlane, since I have become an absolutely insane collector of their SportsPicks within the last 2 years or so. McFarlane gets the vote from me, just because I buy more of their products, and I haven't seen much stuff from NECA.

I started collecting movie maniacs and LOVED them...The problem with them are that they are so damn Fragile. I think McFarlene has taken BIG steps back and Neca has made huge strides forward...And as someone who owns almost ever movie maniac in the first 4 series to say that NECA figures fall over more is pure crap. I've had more movie maniacs break from falling then ANY other figure line...And I collect Marvel, DC Direct, WWE, McFarlene and Neca...I've never once had a neca figure fall over. My vote is Neca but McFarlene could take it back if they come back to basics.

McFarlane figs look better, but Neca gets better licenses so most of my money goes to them. Neca's better than McFarlane right now.

NECA has made me proud with their recent Friday the 13th products so definitely NECA for me.

recently, NECA have impressed. mcfarlane failed quite miserably with their alien and predator lines, which is a shame because the toys that sucked outweighed the toys that ruled. NECA, however, have impressed me with the hellraiser line and sin city line... not to mention the crow boxed sets... someone please give the predator license to NECA... til mcfarlane makes a motorhead boxed set or a black sabbath set...  'em. |

NECA all the way. McFarlane is just a shell of what they once were.

McFarlane aren't as good as they were a few years back. NECA kicks their ass now, in my humble opinion.
