I don't like dolls so it's full sculpt for me.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I actually like both but with mixed media, it depends on the character. At times, the characters' outfit looks better sculpted than using cloth (for example, Colossus PF). Sometimes the outfits end up looking like pajamas.

It's subjective for me. Was thinking maybe fully sculpted, but didn't have to go far to bring me back to reality when I saw my Terminator PF right next to me. The plastic shades, leather jacket and fabric pants brought the hell out of that PF which few can replicate fully sculpted.
So ultimately, I'm for the mix.

If Premium formats were not mixed media i probably would never have gotten into them quite as much. Fully sculpted is fine, but its just like every other statue out there.
What set the PF's apart to me in the first place was the tailored costume, cape, jacket mixed media aspect of the piece.
I actually like seeing how they have tailored the tiny costume and for me it adds a whole different dimension to the statue which a fully sculpted would lack. That being said i would buy a fully sculpted 1/4 scale statue if the character design didnt require fabric eg Ironman, Rhino etc.

Mixed media as long as they aren't trying to replicate tights.
I prefer sculpted tights. Anything else looks better done in real fabric.

mixed media helps minimize the amount of paint app issues and adds more realism to a piece. A lot of Marvel pieces look bad in the format though.
