The Medicom - Mafex - RAH Thread


Recommended Posts

I grabbed Black Suit Snyder Superman for $65 on sale, killer price. I'll use him to replace my Figuarts Superman in my Snyder-League display, I like the Figuarts figure more, but the black suit just looks right with the rest of the League, I liked the Snyder Cut, so this works for me.

I'm considering grabbing the 2.0 Snyder-League Batman, but Mafex prices are frakking insane! Everyone gives Bandai crap for rising Figuarts prices, and I agree, but damn, Mafex is far more egregious IMO. All I have is a KO Mafex Batman, the Figuarts Justice League Batman was absolute garbage and I gave mine to one of my cousin's kids, maybe I'll wait and see if I can get the Mafex 2.0 for cheaper after release.

All these Japanese figures are really getting expensive. Figuarts, Figma, Mafex and the stuff from square arts are just too expensive these days. There’s a lot of stuff I like and even when I really like an item, I still hesitate over the prices. I definitely don’t like the Hasbro marvel stuff, but I kinda wish there was a middle ground on price and looks.

Probably to keep the sculpted detail 

Given the fabric nature of his cape I really disagree with the use of weird split plastic and arm holes.  Unless there are swappable arms to remove them.

I’d get an action figure of The Deep long before I’d shame my shelf with any Aquaman figures. That being said, I’m gonna skip it even though they seemed to have done a pretty good job on it

I love The Boys, it's a great show, and I'd love to collect these and a full lineup of The Seven, but these prices are insane. Coupled with the lack of accessories on most of these and it's a pass, I get Mafex is gonna Mafex, but these prices are insane.

I don’t actually buy many of the mafex figures due to price, so something has to be a favorite character done really well. I did buy Brown suit Wolverine and Gambit, but I probably won’t buy many other figures. That being said, if Hasbro would do a bit better in quality, looks and packaging I’d buy from them. For now, I’m stuck avoiding certain figures either due to being priced out from Japanese figures or being disappointed by American toys.

With all the odd X-Men popularity, I’m wondering why they still haven’t done a Rogue comic style figure yet and wouldn’t mind Nightcrawler now that he’s getting a slight bit more showtime

YES!  Just one more and we've got the whole damn Blue Team complete.

Would that be Jubilee or Beast?

Personally, I wouldn’t mind some more baddies or Nightcrawler

Jubilee isn't a member of the Blue Team.

What we actually need is an Iceman done correct with ice slides and effects parts.

Honestly it’s been years since I’ve read those comics and wasn’t sure which team she was on. Iceman is a tough one. It’s like an almost all white poorly sculpted figure or him in one of his different uniforms. Around the time I was reading, he seemed to be mostly getting phased out in the comics and was more prominent in the Spider-Man cartoons

Jubilee is like Kitty, she was the only Kid around and followed Wolverine everywhere, or was caught up in events at the Mansion, so she often featured in the X-Men Comics but was never a Blue Team Member.  She wasn't a full fledged X-Man until after the Generation X run of Comics.

Iceman being a Spiderman character... Spiderman and his Amazing Friends era?  That's early 80's.  He was on The Defenders at that time before they started up X-Factor and then rolled that team into the Blue/Gold Teams in the early 90's.  I suppose you could still picture him as all white even in the 90's but since Mafex are clearly targeting the "Jim Lee era" I'd want him rendered, with effects, as Whilce Portacio and Art Thibert depicted him the tail-end of X-Factor and on Uncanny as the Gold Team.

Rogue.

Yes, finally. I feel like my Mafex X-Men will be completed. Everything else will be a bonus.

It looks like Rogue will have a softgoods jacket. Not sure how I feel about it.

I’m not a big fan of cloth bits on action figures, but Mafex did a fairly good job with Gambit, so this will probably be decent.
