I have the NECA ones, but I absolutely hate NECA. I find their quality control to be about as good as DC Direct, meaning non-existent. Joints break easily, there is hardly any articulation (their RE figures were pretty much statues), and everything just feels fragile. Plus, NECA does not seem to understand the concept of a license. They get a license, and they release one to two friggin characters and then move on.

They get God of War, a license that has a vast multitude of characters and creatures out of Greek mythology. So what do they release? Five different versions of Kratos.

They get the Legacy of Kain license. Once again, another line with a huge amount of characters to choose from, they give us Kain and two versions of Raziel. Oooooooooooookay. What about Dumah, Mobius, the Serafan, Janos, Ariel, Zephon, Rahab, etc?

They get the Castlevania license. Sweet, right? Sure, except, they release three characters from SOTN, one of them was nothing more than a miniboss, and two versions of Simon Belmont. No Maria, no Richter, no Shaft, and then none of the characters from other games like Trevor, Sypha, Grant, Shanoa, etc.

Lastly, they get the Resident Evil license. Surprislingly, they release all of these creatures, but when it comes to the characters, no Claire, Barry, Rebecca, Steve, and most important, no freaking Wesker. The main villian of the series does not even get a freaking figure. But they have plenty of minibosses and nobodies.

Oncd again they have done the same with the Assassin's Creed and Ninja Gaiden licenses. We get 1 Ryu Hayabusa, and then Altair and several versions of Ezio. No Da Vinci, none of the Borgias, nothing.
