That's why I said it's an apples and oranges comparison. There's certainly no haze. At that price range...Storm's figures had better be superior (which they are...)

If you'd like to get technical about it though, Mezco's figures for MKX were also in the $20 dollar range, and in terms of looks, those figures take a steamy dump on these as well. While we haven't seen a side by side comparison just yet, the Mezco figures were done so well that there were times I felt like I was holding something of much higher quality than a mere $20 dollar toy. The only gripes I ever had about that line was the extremely thin character selection that was filled mostly with a hundred variants of each figure, and the fact they were not a true 6 inch scale like they claimed to be.

I think a large part of this though is honestly no fault of Todd's, but more to the terrible looking character designs that NRS made for this game. They're some of the worst designs since MK4. It's hard to keep joints and paints looking clean when you have all that mess of a sculpt going on. If McFarlane toys was doing something more classic, (or less busy in design) I really feel like the line could shine.
