Anyways there would be a lot less fights if Hot Toy collectors would stop coming into statue threads to say how superior their plastic dolls are to the statues.. Gets old after awhile....
Indeed. I'll give credit where credit is due and say they have outstanding portraits, however, I'm a statue guy through and through.

It's not just their portraits though their paint jobs are so much better, especially the 1/4 scale figures. The head sculpts on them look so real!

However, what I can't stand about dolls, is because well they are in fact dolls. So regardless of how good their head sculpts are I just hate the feeling u get when u open up their boxes because they just look like stationary dolls in a fixed position with the little toy parts and accessories and stuff surrounding them.

It's just a total different feeling to when u open up a statue box, and see something that looks like a mantel already for display.
