And they do compare, because once you take away the importing fees of the middleman, they are actually not that different... you are comparing a $20 figure to a $40-60 figure. It's similar to comparing a Black Series Obiwan to the SH Figuarts Obiwan. You CAN make super detailed, articulated figures for less than $30, with butterfly joints in the shoulders and articulation not limited by poor sculpting. McFarlane chose not to. Add to that the mediocre paintwork (I looked at 9 recently that all had subzero with eyes looking in different directions and sloppy armor "details"). These are almost as bad as the $6 jazzwares MK figures from KBToys in the early 2000's.

And look at jazzwares now...their fortnite figs are easily some of the most solid line of figs out today. Even some of the ridiculous characters like peely and leviathan are top notch. ( who doesn't love a gun toting, mutant banana? Haha ) . Mcfartlame seems intent on releasing mediocre figs.
