- Kotobukiya

Hot Toys make top notch figures. Their figures are easily the best quality available.
Sideshow Collectables - their best range to date was 2012/4 Star Wars Mythos.
Kotobukiya make plastic and cold cast porcelain statues. Star Wars, bishoujo, Marvel, DC etc. Prices go up insanely after a few years. In recent years their quality and imagination have floundered.
Hasbro offer cheap, starter-level figures from the Star Wars movies. Robots and stormtroopers tend to look good but they are lousy at people's faces. Their figures are 4 inch or 6 inch. 4 inch aren't so good.
Other brands? There are a lot of other brands out there making figures but many of them really stink. The painting is often terrible and the promotional pictures seldom match the end product. Be selective. Look at YouTube unboxing examples.
