What exactly differentiates all of the other 6 inch scale Marvel figures? Mafex, Mezco, Figuarts, Revoltech, etc.

Mezco - Basically, these are 6” Hot Toys but for a much better price. Cloth costumes, lots of accessories/interchangeable parts, and decent articulation. They’re a bit larger than Marvel Legends and they’re an American company. Their comic book figures tend to feature unique design elements to make them look more realistic. They’re exclusives sell out incredibly fast.

Revoltech - Import figures designed to push ROM to the extreme. These figures look strange in a vanilla pose since they’re meant to be posed 100% of the time. Some figures like Carnage can fit in with Legends but others have a STRONG anime influence in their design and stand out next to MLs.

SH Figuarts - Import figures that are about realism and natural movement with the figures (great ROM). All of their Marvel figures are based on the movies. I beleive they were the first to use the face printing on figures. Most of their figures are shorter than Marvel Legends.

Mafex - Very similar to Figuarts in terms of articulation and sculpt but only slightly shorter than MLs. They’ve recently started producing comic book figures for Marvel with Spiderman just dropping overseas. They’ve also solicited/shown Gwenpool, Deadpool, Venom (McFarlane), Miles Morales, Wolverine (tiger stripe, Jim Lee), and Cyclops (Jim Lee). QC was an issue with earlier figures but newer figures have been doing better.
