The Faulk sentinel at it again.

@@danielmoore9209 Not surprised, their work ethic is atrocious.

I'm pretty sure every company has to block a few people, the usual mental ones who send death threats and the like. But standard " my figure broke" in the past I never had problems. They replaced my superman figure just fine.

Makes sense though as it's like any of us that would block trolls, mentally unstable individuals, etc. Not everything is scheme getting over on people. Show me a company that offers great sculpts of these horror icons and other movie characters with really cool packaging, artwork, and accessories that come with the character. "My figure broke!" Well things brake sometimes and that's just the nature of things. Then there's what were you doing with them that caused them to brake? I mean they're $20 - $30 display collectibles not G.I. Joes, Transformers, or those kinds of toy action figures that a kid could play around with. 🤷‍♂️ And they are also obviously not hundreds of dollars Hot Toy figures in which I'm sure would brake too if they are used for anything other than display pieces. It feels to me that the individual that made this video doesn't seem to know that along with some here. Now most of their prop replicas are crap. But again they mass produced products. I guess you'd have to be a collector to know and understand that you're not going to get a high quality or accurate prop replica for $50 - $80 LOL. It's like the difference between the quality of a NECA figure and a Hot Toy figure. If you want high-end quality you're going to pay a high-end price. So knowing that I honestly don't get the point of this video aside from just wanting to add content to create a discussion because this is pretty common sense stuff here.

@@B1Kobe0824 Oh my god you missed my point so hard.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣🙌

How many/what type of joints does that Stormtrooper figure have though?

It's kind of a shame in a way. I get that adding a high degree of articulation is going to be more of a challenge but many companies have proved it's possible so having a figure with crappy articulation by today's standards just so it endures for years is ridiculous.

@@joeydahl9594 IDK If I would fully agree with that. While there certainly are companies who do way better than Neca, Michael's made a pretty solid argument in his past videos (IMHO) that even fairly robust modern articulated figures tend not to be as durable (or even functionally posable), as many older figures.

@@user-do2ev2hr7h its the QUALITY of the build, materials and design that are the key factors in why. Not how many joints/failure points it has 😃

I have the same issue :(

I think NECA is a combination of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Their sculpts and paintwork are phenomenal, and they’ve made some of the only accurate collector merchandise for a lot of brands. In the other hand, the fact that their figures can break while opening them, and the fact that NECA has done nothing (to the point that they refer to themselves as a manufacturer of non-durable goods) is not good at all.

Neca know that their figures are collectibles and often kept in boxes or on display. . They don’t need to be as robust as kids toys. These are not aimed at kids. They are aimed at the parents. 👍

​@dazdaz105 Randy is that you?

​@@dazdaz105But its scary when they label their own products being unsuitable for 0-3 with all the small parts...I wouldn't even trust my own mother with them. 😄

Right? And how is simply posing a figure the same as playing with it?

They are adult collectibles says so on the box most actually say 18 or older and they also say not a toy

@@jellyelly8970 they're also meant to be displayed in the dynamic poses shown in the promotional material, hence the articulation

The sad part is: if they just sold tiny plastic statues for a few bucks less, I might even buy them. But knowing they might break isn't worth the price they pitch.

OK there’s no way that they commented this for weeks ago and that was about a month ago

Beautiful.

@@B1Kobe0824 Rarely have I seen someone try so hard to avoid the obvious point.

@@utubepunk I've never seen people so hard to avoid rational thinking.

My David 8's arm broke off but I know a man who repaired it for me (thanks Dad) lol my Xeno's have weird legs (bowed) but all my Nostromo space suit characters are fine and most of my prometheus figures are fine. But most of them are still in boxes. And as I say whilst they in boxes they not broken or faulty lol

and you are part of the problem cause you not only buy their shit you promote it whole heartedly!

Hi

I mean they're a $20 - $30 figure. Pretty much like you said a high-end product at a fraction of the price. You use them as the display piece they are meant to be used for then you won't have an issue. Besides braking easy is an exaggeration they really don't quite break that easily. If you drop on the ground yes they may possibly brake but that's no different than any number of things that could brake if they were to fall on the hard surface beneath them.

@@B1Kobe0824 They are not a high end product...they are cheap AF and made with even cheaper plastic. Just because they can paint it up doesn't mean they're high end. They're dressed up to look the part, but fail immediately. These are ACTION figures, not static figures. They look the part of statues, but that's really it.

When I heard Micheal say that part and showed the evidence I was like "Are you @#%in' kidding me?? That's shady as hell.".

I had no idea of this fact either and I applaud Michael for exposing that. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that the plastic being used on those figures is, not only cheap, but supremely toxic as well just so they can skim a few more pennies per figure. I've never bought anything from NECA and won't be starting anytime soon.

@@jthom0027 Yes!!!! I'll say it again: Michael is so BRILLIANT with his exposure of these corporations, and their shamelessly shady practices, that he should have been an attorney!

it's like excalibur on anyone defending their shit product and practices, it's indefensible

@@donmiles4581 - It's not really brilliant at all. Companies do legal maneuvers like this all the time. People always look for loop holes to try and sue corporations so they have lawyers who try to protect them. If neca produces crappy products then they're only really hurting themselves. Obviously many people are happy with necas products or they'd be out of business like many toy companies before them. They have a price point to keep to and choices have to be made. Do we spend more money on the sculpt or license and less on the plastic quality. He's just giving an angry one sided biased version of the truth. I wouldn't hire him as my lawyer, he'd never get passed discovery. Neca isn't doing anything technically illegal or hiding anything from the consumer. What did he really uncover here? How about a video of him opening 10-15 different neca figures live and seeing what happens? That would've been truly eye opening if they started breaking out of the package. Sorry pounding on the table like a little child is not going to prove anything. I'm a neutral observer, yes I have a few neca figures but I could count them on one hand.

Is this a real thing?!?!

@@liesureleeminis8268 It's not better, its slightly worse, but the price makes it ok

@@ponpocholsclaw8932 might be worth checking out

@@liesureleeminis8268 Don't go in expecting anything great, they fall apart much easier than real neca products

@@ponpocholsclaw8932 It really depends what line of figures. I own plenty of bootleg Black Series figures and they're holding up great. Hell, I'm pretty sure people would prefer the knockoff Clone Trooper than the official product. I do agree that these are just $20-30 figures, but that's not an incentive to make excuses. Clearly NECA has stated that their product is premium collectibles. Sure, the sculpt and likeness is amazing. But if that's the case then make statues, NOT figures. You do realize that we have photographers in the community, right? So naturally, they're going to make poses and take pics. If you're a collector that just makes one pose and displays it like that forever then hey, all the power to you! But don't speak for everybody.

Yes!! Exactly. I have around 40 neca figures . About half I have had a breaking issue in one way or another. But as you said ,its a nightmare finding most at retail.

Trying to collect neca in europe is a nightmare. Very hard to find. I collect predator and alien figures and I had to start to buy bootlegs cause couldnt find most of them. The originals that I have are mostly from private collectors.

A battle of the gods

I'd pay to watch that

You may want to seek professional treatment. :P

It would end with severed limbs all other the place after all

Yes

Yep kinda like Gunpla collectors . We wait YEARS for a Kit . And when we get it its flumsy loose and inaccurate coloring. And its P-BANDAI

True, but if they'd used better plastic and avoided developing a bad reputation, they could have sold to more than just suckers.

It's like the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Little Green Men" (disclaimer: NO disrespect to anyone who smokes.), when Quark basically said "I could make a KILLING here! If the HEW-mons (humans) will buy their own poison (cigars), then they will buy ANYTHING!" Neca would be like "Hold my beer, while we show you how it's done!"

See the same with video games, too many are being released with problems and glitches on day one. For that it's best to wait until the first two patches and updates.

NECA knows their products are crap instead of improvement they just say we make non durable goods.

Yeah, the mcfarlane toys customers are quite critical but I think that's for the better.

i only get to see them in private comic book stores, it's hard to find them on Zing

They are import only here. Hobby/ comic shops import stock. They have no brick and mortar chain store representation in Australia. Its like that most countries, the usa target thing is a unique deal with specific limitations.

The nile sells neca in aus/nz

@@ThatKiwiDudeTV indeed, that importer does sell neca stuff. I bought some of the 1/4 movie turtles from there and found the store reliable.

Glad to hear that's not a problem for them anymore! 😁

It's not just selling practices but I think their distribution is poor on purpose, they are just seeing what they can get away with.

@The Goo Fighters i have yet to have their figures break on me. There is a huge issue with reusing the same body and lack of paint aps but i cant say any have broke in me ever. Knock on wood

@The Goo Fighters i stopped collecting them tbh, as i unpacked my Royal guard and the Feet where so loose he could not even stand i had enough because it was not the first time the limbs of 6inch Black series figures where so loose that they could not even stand or hold a arm up or so

@The Goo Fighters Pretty sure Marvel Legends are some of the most sturdy figures on the market right now, I haven’t been collecting them for a while now but I’ve never had one break on me

I give them this: At least they're listing their product honestly, even if it is buried in the fine print.

@The Goo Fighters I'm no expert, but I would assume if anything, listing their goods like that would shield them to some extent from liability they might otherwise have. I mean, if they're admitting what they sell isn't intended to last, can people really sue when it doesn't?

You do realize neca sells more than just action figures right!? This “non-durable” goods stuff is a bit misleading. Neca produces plush toys, small vinyl figs and a TON of other “non-durable” goods. Don’t believe me? Look it up.

@@darthbrolo that's not a good excuse

@@FoolOnDread and neither is this post. I mean we're talking mass produced products? If these figures cost $100 and more I can see a complaint. But weren't talking about well sculpted figures with fantastic artwork and accessories for $20 - $30. 🤷‍♂️ The only way these things would break if they were used something than other than what they are designed for. And it's obvious people agreeing with these comments are not collectors or at least ones that don't seem to get that these figures are made as display pieces for collectors not G.I. Joe type of action figures/toys to play and throw around. The creator of this video has a point but it's aimed at the wrong target. Also sometimes things just break regardless of the quality. That's just the nature of the beast. But I can tell you asa collector of these NECA figures for many years I can tell you they are not that delicate.

I dunno. We’d have to see some numbers but I’m confident there’s a lot of sold figures in Japan

Smaller market for sure

Maybe not traditional snap kit model kits, (with the exception of Bandai Gundam kits,) but custom resin kits can sell for high prices, due to them usually being made in small batches at a time.

Even with the Gundam example, the "action figures sell better than model kits" argument is still valid. Model builders are a very niche market when compared to the market for action figures. However, Gundam is doing extremely well in that niche market. It's not doing well in the action figure market is because, a) majority of the Gundam action figures are uber expensive. Robot Damashii is like $50+ at least, and those that are absolutely superior to model kits, such as Metal Robot Damashii and Metal Build, cost a small fortune, especially in the secondary market. b) the only mass market action figure we have right now, Gundam Universe, is underwhelming. It's a hit-or-miss but mostly misses. I mostly dabble in RGs, while complementing them with a few HGs, and I can definitively say that model biilding is not for everybody. Heck, I skipped the RG Strike Freedom and Destiny Gundams in favor of the MRD versions as they're so superior that the price difference is completely justifiable.

Most Gundam models are pretty much toys you build. Model kit builders I know scoff at me when I assemble a Gundam in a few hours. Whereas they spend weeks on theirs. To be fare though, I don't paint my Gundam kits.

I own a few bootleg NECA products that are unironically less brittle than official NECA products.

@@DCT-tt8ib I got those TMNT Comic figures as bootlegs and the plastic that was used on them is many times better than any of my official figures

@@LordStarscream- Same here. I initally bought them for the coloured headbands but now I realise they're so much better than the real ones

Here's the thing: they seem to sell quite well at the QC standard they're already using, so for all practical intents and purposes, they don't.

@@user-do2ev2hr7h Defending NECA are we?

Lol. my head went straight to old McFarlene. I have so many Spawn and Predator figs from them that are all busted because of weak joints trying just to pose them.

I remember McFarlane toys would break alot. The plastic they used was so rigid it'd just snap if any force was applied to it. I bought that new shark Fren-Z from McFarlane's Raw-10 line and let me tell you that thing is amazing. Only $19.99 and it's solid, painted awesomely and is perfectly articulated for a shark. The line is ages 5 or 6+ and my 5 and a half year old plays with it (and drops it) all the time and it's still in one piece.

Ha ha so true. I had a few MacFarlane toys that broke from standing on their own weight.

Yep. McFarlane toys have really improved a lot over the years, and at the same time they maintain reasonable prices. Their original stuff was def slip shod as hell though, and half the stuff wasn't very posable, like the Escape from LA Snake figures, or Hicks from Aliens. Their T-800 endoskeleton looked bad ass but was way way too fragile (still have mine, had to do multiple repairs to it). McFarlanes Robocop was built like a tank though and was amazing for its time. It still holds up well and fits in with anything released the past few years. Their Solid Snake figure was also pretty solid. Sniper Wolf not so much, since she wasn't very posable.

That's not necessarily correct. Every mortal kombat mcfarlane figure I have has broken at least once

It's also not the case.

I've seen NECA figures that are broken in the box already.

You have too if you want it to last longer than 5 mins, otherwise you just start the countdown

Very true, getting the T2 John Connor will cost hundreds of dollars.

I own a terminator endoskeleton, a 40th ripley and big chap. I had to glue the t-800's rifle tip back on the same day I purchased it.....so far the other two are fine only because I afraid to touch them. Way to go neca, a toy usually has to be sun damaged /discolored to be that brittle. I have no future plans on either the rest of the line for alien nor anything they make. Oh I just remembered, Jones the 🐈...his tail broke..looked articulated to me oh no it must be my fault. Great video guys. 😉

Yeah, I get they want to keep their stuff "collectible" but Randy has openly admitted they don't care about how hard it is to find as long as their products aren't "peg warmers". He's honestly one of the biggest reasons I stopped buying neca, he's really shitty to their consumers.

@@PillsandSoap26 I understand that to an extent, but barely having enough stock really sucks.

@@ricosalvaje5802 100% agree. If they really want to keep it exclusive but also collector friendly they should do pre-orders of some sort on their webpage. I don't collect Super 7, but the way they do their toys makes me wish I did lol

@@jellyelly8970 good for you. You are lucky one

@@etb3rd not true at all ask any neca collector 9 times out of 10 they'll tell you maybe 2 out of 10 break and also all toy companies have this problem not just neca even way more expensive figures that cost 10 times as much have more problems then neca

@@jellyelly8970 that’s one more than how many should’ve broken.

Hi Brad

Why didn’t you say it? Or did you?

100% I just got the Christmas Misfits figure with CHANGEABLE HEADS and the ball joint in mine broke just trying to get a head off because I like the alternate better, all within 5 minutes of opening the figure. Got a Triceraton recently that the arm wasn't even attached in the box, just packed in a way that held it. Thankfully I was able to return that one.

If the toys are shit, YOU NEED TO STOP BUYING THEM. Otherwise, the toys will continue to b shit, because people seem to be happy enough with them to keep buying them. Like you do.

@@puckerings Exactly, folk who keep buying something that sucks expecting it to get better make no sense at all to me.

They don’t. Their VP blocks people on his personal Twitter, but no official social media pages block anyone as far as I know

Its standard practice on social media. You are not communicating with any company, just a hire social media page manager who is usually instructed to ignore or block anything negative, and is paid to basically promote the brand, usually from home in their spare time while probably working another job. Its really shitty of companies to hire people who cop a lot of abuse and usually dont even truly work for the companies, its usually outsourced work. Its another wall to hide behind.

@@tenrec89 that’s not true. His personal Twitter is the companies Twitter. Terrible rep

Same here. One thing I didn’t like was that several of the photos on the packaging are for the larger sized figures which look very similar but have better bandanas and a lot more articulation. I actually thought I could get a better range of motion than was possible because of that

@@calumryan6328 The predator figures are good they don’t break the horror figures a girl they don’t break in my experience and the turtle figures I have all different lines movie video game and cartoon they don’t break the playset is good and durable it doesn’t break terminator Dutch kick ass they definitely break

I accidentally ripped the arm off of my first neca figure, the rhino alien

Also I bought a terminator figure, the torso falls apart

It seems to be dependent on the "franchise". The Terminator and T2 figures are very solid. Some of the joints on my Sarah Connor figure are spindly, but don't feel like they will snap. I've had a McFarlane T2 figures arms fall off.

Like McFarlane toys though, sometimes their joints have already shattered in-package.

They don't want you to take them out of the package because they don't want you to realize 1) how brittle they are, and 2) half of them come already broken from the factory. They just glue it back together and call it a day. One has to wonder what their production line looks. And there's no excuse for it either, there's plenty of durable plastics and rubbers that could be used, and it can't cost more than a dollar for the raw materials themselves. Make a $50 figure $51 instead and 10x as durable, and it's a no brainer.

Makes them the best on youtube ... just brilliant constantly.

Yeah you can ignore the "fanboys" which is a silly term that someone came up with because everyone is a fan of something right? 🤔🤷‍♂️ And you can ignore the companies but he seems to ignore the common sense factors that these are $20 - $30 display collectibles. I've owned many for years and they don't just fall apart in your hands like some are trying to make it seem. Would they brake if you drop them? Yes it's possible but they are display figures lol. A glass cup will break if you drop it that doesn't make them cheap. That makes them not being made to be dropped to the ground same as these collectibles. I know we think action figure we think G.I. Joe that we can play with tossing them around and crashing together. These aren't those kinds of action figures but even those I mentioned can break from misuse. So understanding and knowing that you can see that this video making this complaint was rather pointless.

@WILLIAM WEST 🤣 I guess lol. Don't you think that term fanboy is rather silly? I mean aren't we all fans of something? And aren't the people here fans that purchased the products who've come to complain about being displeased with the quality they received? Ah ha! Ah ha! LOL!

@WILLIAM WEST right! My thing it's is if you like the products and have an issue with them you simply contact the company and try to do what you can in hopes of getting a better product. That or it doesn't matter to a person either way just don't buy them anymore. Griping and complaining has never solved anything but get annoying to others if they do it too much.

@WILLIAM WEST that's the issue with people today that many do feel their beliefs and opinions are facts.

Yeah, I have purchased MANY Neca figures in the past, and i had MAYBE 2 break on me. 98% of my purchases were perfectly fine, but damnit seeing this video frustrates me so much knowing they are selling such fragile products DESIGNED to be manipulated by their customers for posing and collecting.

@Nuke Dukem its mostly reviews on major retailers, twitter, neca threads galore, this company at least WERE having a TON of QC issues, joints snapping, limbs falling off, blah blah. Not hear say my friend. Its happening. Now, with any product, there are defects. Thats just facts. I spend a LOT of money on Neca figures. And Ive been lucky, like I said, but there is a large number of folks that havent been that lucky.

The QC won't be changing anytime soon if its been this way for years. Seems like its simply part of the grift. If they are knowingly selling their items as non-durable, they know what they are doing.

@Nuke Dukem The Neca stuff was breaking even before Neca knock offs were a thing. Knock offs have only been in the last 10 years.

Has anyone had issues with the 90's cartoon neca figures? i.e. Bebop & Rocksteady

It's the people's glisteners factory

You'll never find a video of a "NECA factory" or a NECA being produced. That's because it is sweatshops. I bet even some of the weathering on items isn't even from painting, but rather just from the dirty conditions they produce and store them in. A lot of the edge wear just comes from them putting all of these parts in giant bins where they grind against each other. If you open a Jason figure's jacket, the buttons themselves are held on by a single thread, and the whole inner stitching is just loose threads all over. They're cobbled together.
