Are Expensive Action Figures Actually Better than Retail Ones?

The Mirror Twins dive into the costly world of high-end, adult-focused action figures. Nothing as crazy as Max Factory, but we're talking Four Horsemen, Super 7, and Neca. But how do they compare to the high-end, adult-focused, yet far cheaper off-the-shelf versions produced by action figure giants Mattel and Hasbro?Specifically, how to these expensive action figures fair against the look, possibility, and affordability of G.I. Joe Classified?
Justin and Kyle take a deep dive into what makes a good action figure, discussing things like are all these accessories really worth it, and does cost actually mean better quality and better toy collecting experience?!

It depends on what you want. I agree with the Super 7 assessment.

[@mirrortwins9694]

Thanks!

I'm loving a good ol' rant of Gargoyles....

[@mirrortwins9694]

Oh, trust me. There will be a dedicated Gargoyle rant video.

[@justinsims728]

Love the classified series!

[@mirrortwins9694]

Us too! … if you couldn’t tell.

[@nopenope5598]

Great video and i agree,i prefer the GI Joe classified. I dabble in the more expensive lines but the Classified line is my bread and butter. Glad i found your channel, good stuff.

[@mirrortwins9694]

Thank you so much! We’re glad you found us!!

[@CarlosGonzalez-ls5ph]

I reckon, Jada toys street fighters is finding that middle point and probably the best figures in the market

[@mirrortwins9694]

Really? We’ll have to check those out. Thanks!

Super7 are soon to price themselves out of purchases because they’re not keeping up with distribution dates and re-focusing on something else and their team is not big enough. I feel that if S7 cut down expenses that they don’t need, such as; 27 sets of hands, extra weapons that aren’t needed and other random accessories and the box. give me a figure in shipper plastic sheet and i’m good, i don’t want to pay for graphic design i’m throwing out once the figure is on the shelf

[@mirrortwins9694]

We agree! Thanks for the comment!

We agree! Thanks for the comment!

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

the wings rant earned you a sub!

[@mirrortwins9694]

Hahaha! Wait to you see what’s coming up next! We’ve got an entire episode depicted to Neca Gargoyles!

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

@@mirrortwins9694 one of the great 90’s animated shows that STILL holds up and somehow the toy line (at least in Australia) not so successful. Probably because it took too long to get here and by the time the toy line arrived the show had long since ended and…. No glory for Goliath and his fellow gargoyles

[@zombiesnstuff84]

Are these guys twins and one of em trying to pull a fast one on us with the beard 🤔

[@mirrortwins9694]

Very sus, but yes, we are twins.

[@chadpilkington8405]

I agree with you about SUPER7. They are over priced especially for their lack of quality control but I really do think Mumm-ra the ever living is worth the $60. Now he is a beautiful figure

[@mirrortwins9694]

Agreed! Justin has that figure, and it is glorious!

[@vagnerdasilvalago4443]

Oh yes men its so expensives here in brazil. On the states the prices is better than here. What to do? I like so much from action figures, and i have some actions, is it 👍thank you guys. Muito obrigado gostei muito do video.👍😎

[@mirrortwins9694]

Thank you so much and thanks for the comment! Muito obrigado!

[@rayb8572]

You do realize the retail ones are produced in larger numbers, so hence they are cheaper.

[@mirrortwins9694]

Of course, plus larger companies can absorb costs more easily.

[@chadpilkington8405]

The reason why they’re not all pin less is because it’s a new technology and they’re just not fully implemented yet

[@mirrortwins9694]

Thanks! That’s what we figured, but that is for the confirmation!

[@HENRYGAUL]

1/12

[@mirrortwins9694]

Yes. Kyle spoke incorrectly. Thanks for the correction.

[@chadpilkington8405]

6 inch figures are 1/12 scale

[@mirrortwins9694]

Ah yes. Kyle misspoke. He will be … reprimanded!
