Are JJ's Figures as Good as K&C's (1 Viewer)

[Aussie Monty]

Hi,

I have just brought my first JJ figures - BM-06 (Wounded Grenadiers), they should be here next week.

I have been long time K&C buyer and collocter (very very nice figures).

The JJ figures look very nice and the limited edition format of 250 to 1000 should keep there value up, the limited range should help also and you can buy the full ranges without costing $10,000 or more.

Does anyone have a comment on weather they are as good (similar) quality as K&C or better?

Also there size, John calls them a 54/60mm size or are they some were in between?

I will also post this on the K&C thread and see now many K&C Collectors I can upset. I will most likely be run out of the forum for comments like "Better Than K&C" before my next posting.

How exactly can someone be "run out" if this is an electronic media

Welcome to the forum. All opinions are welcome

I have all but the two newest Seven Years War figure sets and I am a loyal K&C collector. IMO the John Jenkins figures are better done in both terms of sculpting and painting.

However, its kind-of-like asking a parent to choose which child do they love the most or which child do they value above the other. I like quote from "Kingdom of Heaven" when Balian asks Saladin, "What is Jerusalem worth?" and he respondes twice, first with his hands apart saying, "Nothing." He then turns and walks away, then after taking a few steps he turns back and says, with his fists held up against each other, smiling, "Everything." Both answers are correct. Both choices are correct. The same applies to K&C vs. John Jenkins. IMO both are correct

And they are closer to 60mm than 54mm. There have been some comparison pictures posted on the John Jenkins thread. Check it out.

Again welcome

Welcome - what took you so long to get here ? I thought you were already a Member.....

I agree with you that the John Jenkins Designs are exciting figures. I have the same set as you as well as a few others and they look great.

Its a very appealing figure to collect. They have this cross life of their own don't they???

I really look forward to future releases and appreciate the 250 production count to give it a limited feature. That is probally how this line will stay around for a long time - because the value will be high with this quality.
