I love NECA's work but I'm not going to pretend that their articulation matches Marvel Legends, granted it doesn't need to. Well actually their xenomorphs pretty much match Legends for articulation. Their sculpted and painted details are almost always superior because they are specifically aiming at that collector market whereas Legends has a broader goal and this also accounts for the QC differences. NECA product isn't made to be played with so they tend to go for less durable builds while Hasbro and Mattel make toys that a 6 year old could potentially play with.
