Mess Toys and CT Toys make 1/12 figures for a fraction of the price — $10–$40 instead of $100+. But with crazy shipping times, QC issues, and no customer service, are they really worth it?

Is MAFEX actually dying?

With action figure brands like LPZZ, InArt, and 6inch plus stepping up fast, collectors are saying Mafex have fallen behind. But can they really be replaced, or are people just overreacting?

What do you think — is this the end of Medicom toys or just a new era for 1/12 figures?

It’s official. I’m quitting Hot Toys collecting and here’s why 💔

After years in the 1/6 hobby, I’ve decided to take a step back and focus on 1/12 scale action figures instead. Rediscovering my passion for collecting wasn’t easy — but it feels right.

I’m not completely done with 1/6 figures.. just collecting more selectively from now on. What do you think — am I making the right move?
