Sure, the Mezco bashing seems to be growing (along with their constant price hikes without any updates in the figure themselves) but even worse is the fanboy white-knighting saying everything is great. I love my Mezco figures (well... most of them) but if they don't start listening to some of these complaints it's not hard to imagine they won't be around for a lot longer.

I have only 2 Mezco figures in my collection and honestly i'm not a big fan of most of their work. The Gambit on the other hand looks phenomenal and i'll sacrifice some of the articulation for that outstanding looking armor piece. I don't think fan-boying and glossing over issues is fine but overly criticizing a figure because of the ab crunch portion not being there is excessive IMO. Their sales are very strong and people are snatching up most of their products regardless so I don't see their sales slowing down any time soon.
