Worst toy company out there?
I'd say jazwares. Their figures are very fragile, cheap, and blocky. Not to mention they skip many important characters (especially if they are female)
Jakks-Pacific is a close second. At least their figures are not easy to break, but they still skip important characters and have low articulation. What is your least favorite toy company?

Definately Jazwares. Their toys are little more than knockoff quality. It's a shame, 'cause I've seen protos from their various lines at Toy Fair and the sculpts are great (Their Street Fighter figures had gorgeous sculpts), but something obviously goes very wrong in production.
Second would be Mattel, at least for their collector-orientated lines. They're just a joke at this point. |

100% agree with Jazwares. I love Adventure Time and it kills me that they have the license. Their stuff is junk. The plushies are passable, so I did buy some of those. The rest looks like the worst stuff that comes out of China... because it is.

Yeah, sadly it's Jazwares. Their Sonic figures break just from taking them out of the package

I've never had a Jazwares break other than my Charmy's antenna which happened long after I took it out of the package.
With most of their lines, yeah. At least with Sonic though I've got two different Amys and a Blaze. But indeed, I don't think there are any females in their MK lines, and they canceled Street Fighter before they released Viper.

Yeah, Jazzwares is ASS. They got so many licenses I would've bought tons of toys from, but everything is total crap. The only stuff that was halfway decent were the Pokemon Black & White figures, as they didn't have/need articulation. But just the same, some of the sculpts were kinda derpy and the paint apps were really sketchy.

Easily Jazzwares. But Hasbros shipping and case distribution is a lot worse.

They skip male characters too. Adventure Time doesn't have the likes of Prince Gumball yet (except in plushie form).

Galoob also has to be on of the worst. The action figures they make break so easily. I remember having Johnny Quest figures from Galoob, and they would just break like nothing. Really cheap plastic.

I have gone as far as to join a Facebook group called Jazwares sucks.

Forgot to mention Shocker/GBJR Toys. They're more known for ripping people off than actually producing toys... |
