MAFEX Mandalorian 2.0 and Grogu Star Wars Disney+ Medicom Action Figure Overview

- Okay, after getting the newest Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Mandalorian I was kinda regretting pre-ordering the Medicom MAFEX 2.0, but I'm glad I kept my order in because it's the best looking one so far. Barely. The accessories and the overall proportions and presence put it over the top, bringing it down to just how much you wanna pay for a good looking Din Djarin for your shelf.

robo slowly losing his mind has made my day
Doesn't happen all the time but when it does...
@@RoboDontKnow Yeah, it has me looking forward even more so to the next review! ;-)
(Do not ingest. Figures may contain lead.)
Watching Robo slowly losing is mind while trying to attach the rifle to Mado’s back has made my day😭😂
Haha, I had to walk away a few times...
15:00 minute mark had me CRYING laughing. OMG, the empathy I felt. If I had a dollar for every time I flipped the bird to a frustrating figure...I could afford a LOT more figures. Thanks for the chuckle, Robo.
Oh man, sometimes you just gotta let them fly. Doesn't happen often but feels so good afterwards, haha.
Nearly 30 min of Robo?! What a day!
I'm going to have to stop saying "a quick look" at the first of these...
@@RoboDontKnow Ahahaha! Hey more Robo is a win for everyone.
I knew something was missing in my life.
It was Uncle Robo talking about toys. Especially toys he said "I don't need another version of this Character!" In a previous video.
Haha, ain't that always the way?
@@RoboDontKnow you never know what's gonna be 'The One' till you try them all, right.
I can't believe how many versions of this character have been made in less than 5 years since his first appearance. Some characters have never been made into action figures and they have existed for 40+ years...
It's not a review unless I see the watcher ....always watching ...everyday ...watching
He's right there!
Hahaha that was the most pissed off Robo got that I've seen 😂 bless you 🙏
Haha, I think the last time I was close to this frustrated was the SHF Mando and that rifle. And then the one before. Maybe it's just that rifle in general....
As soon as I saw in hand pictures of that Pedro head I was sold on this so I order this and the figurats Indians Jones from hobby genki
Yup, that was a biggie, best Pedro head so far!
I have nearly every 6" Mando there is, including this one, the Glavis Ringworld version and even the newest SHF. While the new SHF isn't better than the Mafex in most ways, it does correct a lot of the older issues. It looks much grungier, the articulation is MUCH better than the Mafex, and the newest SHF Grogu is by far the best looking. It even has articulated EARS! If you can find that Mando for a discount, I recommend it. I ended up liking it a lot more than I expected and again, don't sleep on that new SHF Grogu in the package!
I love the slight sanity being lost everything the gauntlet piece falling of and then the rifle lol. Way too entertaining
I know we have a lot but I want a Mafex episode 1 season 1 look with the browns that was my favorite look
I currently have the SHF in the display but yeah, I would go for a MAFEX too. It's rough and tumble, like I like my Star Wars.
I agree. I repainted & added a new helmet to the Black Series years ago and just recently added hands from my first Mafex Mando since mine was a dud. It works for now, but I want a Mafex version. Still my favorite design for him.
The right gauntlet does have a teeny tiny hole for the cable. It's easier to see if you take off the hand, it's right next to his wrist.
"And haven't been on this roller coaster for years" I feel you Robo 😂
I do think that out of all the options out there, the one who has handled storage for the rifle the best was the model kit. Just take off the strap piece, plug in the holder into the rifle, and plug it into the back. Simple, and easy to swap out
Yup, some of these companies need to remember to keep it simple.
I do want to clarify some things about the Mafex season 2 Mandalorian. First, the pieces of the gauntlets being removable, I believe they were inspired by the SH figuarts Mando since they had them as well. In my opinion, they should have just keep the big flame piece that the v1 came with and just have the right vambraces as one solid piece like the original. The second, the whip arrow, there is actually a hole below the wrist peg on the right Vambraces. Not a huge fan of it and I fear it will break off. Again, it would have been easier if they just kept the original vambraces from the 1v since you can change it for one that is firing the whip. Third, I think I prefer how the v1 did the rifle gimmick with two bandoliers. Also I don’t think it was necessary to have two rifles. Lastly, it would be nice have the knife hands more wide open for both the knife and rifle. I took my pin drill and made the hole a bit wider or heat it up and use something wide to spread the hole a bit.
We love you Robo. Thank you for suffering for us. Watching you rage over that stupid rifle attachment so I don’t have to. Definitely happy sticking with the new Black Series
All the bells and whistles don’t make up for the lack of fun-factor when messing with a finnicky figure.
Man, you showed way more restraint than I usually do when I'm frustrated with a figure. I would have not only flipped the bird, but a string of expletives would have issued forth from my mouth hole that could make a sailor blush!
Still, glad to see I'm not alone in such a reaction. Thanks for another great review, Robo! Your videos are always a bright spot in my day.
😂 The rifle frustration really got me! 😆 Love that jetpack flight pose you did! I'm happy with my single 1.0, but this one might be hard to pass up. 🤔
Yeah, that pose just kinda happened without me thinking about it, I got to edits and went oh hey, that came out nice.
@@RoboDontKnow Ha, it sure did! 🙌 That’s how you know you’re a natural. 👏 (but duh 😅)
Im so glad i held off with by the 1.0 version and the Glavis Ring World version. This 2.0 was well worth the money, also having a bunch of point from amiami helped too.
Oh yeah, those points have gotten me through a few of the more painful purchases, heh.
@@RoboDontKnow Same lol.
This looks great, I heard good things articulation wise from the v3 of SHF and they finally did a proper holster, apparently there is some sacrifice with the chest armor but if the articulation is good I can see pass that and it's grogu also had good reviews with some small level of articulation and including a wash
Yeah, I've seen some good things, and it looks better than the first two, but I was already committed to the MAFEX and the first one done me right so I stuck with this.
@@RoboDontKnow yeah I also committed to the mafex at this point I'm ok with a definitive mando until they make an actual significant change to his outfit
SIGNIFICANT being the keyword, haha. I don't know if I can do any more Mandos with a different shoe or buttplate or something minor.
@@RoboDontKnow same, I think that Lucas film is scared of changing it too much because it became iconic too fast, they didn't hesitate with boba so I hope we see mando make some change now that there's a whole movie coming out
Great video thanks. Now I know what to look out for!
YES!!! Been waiting for your video on this. Love your stuff bro
I really just appreciate Mafex accessories. Those shooty / flame effects are a nice get
Robo + Star Wars = Happy me
Robo + Star Wars = Happy Robo!
The removable pieces on the gauntlets seem to have a little extra nub from the mold process that I snipped off. Once I did that both sat in very well and haven’t fallen out yet
Good to see you back robo
For the gauntlet piece coming off easy you could layer the pegs with super glue to give it a tighter fit
Mando does gets one small update to his look at the end of season 3: he loses his pistol and holster and replaces it with dual wielding giant pistols scavenged from Gideon's super commandos. So we'll see that version as a figure any day now!
At 19:10 the way to put the grappling hook in is there is a ver tiny peg hole on the right arm in between the gauntlet and where the wrist peg is. Hope this helps 👍
lol great stuff. I'm looking forward to this one.
Looks good! I’d like to pick this guy up at some point. I have the Mafex Bo-Katan on preorder.
Yup, same, along with Ahsoka. But that Figuarts Ahsoka has me second guessing...
This figure was kicking your ass 😂😂
Haha, that basically sums it up!
Best Mando figure I think. In addition, I popped the unhelmeted head on my Figuarts 1.0 fig and it looks great.
I haven't laughed that hard in a minute. Thank you for brightening my day!
As much as I love my figures….. I’ve been there several times….. love the video 👍🏼👍🏼….. Robo two thumbs up
peak rumble reference
Not usually too into imports, but I had this preordered from day one and I'm glad I didn't cancel it. Probably my favorite six inch scale Mando although I still do really like the Glavis Ringworld BS figure. The grapple hook effect does have a place to attach, there is a really small hole/cut in the gauntlet rim around the wrist joint it goes into - although I don't blame you for missing it, it's tiny lol
The rifle is added the same ways as SHF did in the first version. I think, I would go in the minority but I still like SHF will all the complexity too, the paint job is fantastic and the overall quality too. I got this one only for the actor's likeness for the head. :)
Love angry Robo 😂
Robo...you're a legend.
They definitely should’ve just made full on swappable gauntlets since they’re already a separate piece. I remember the first version had a second gauntlet for the grapple, idk why they didn’t implement that again
Nice review… I use that same gorilla glue on my customs as well… have about a good month maybe two before it dries up, lol
And that dang rifle part had me almost rolling on the floor, lol
Ok getting this guy on hands today, I like it but yeah there are some frustrations, I managed to take apart the torso and used some silicone shock oil to loose the joints a bit and there's a lot more movement than how it comes out of box, I with the shoulder pads were done different, like figuarts got that right or even the hasbro approach, because they are the biggest limit in the arm articulation
I have the same philosophy Robo. Better to order and be lslightly disappointed then fail to order and have it be impossible to track down at a reasonable price. That also means they hold their value much better than Hasbro.
I do agree that there's a diminishing return from ultra-compicated accessories and attachments. It's a fine line that Figuarts and Mafex sometime overstep.
I was sold when I heard the helmet was improved
I cancelled my pre-order because I had a big month, but this guys _looks_ phenomenal and the accessories look awesome. My issue is mostly down to the limited elbow and knees being a bit of a bummer and the finickyness you mentioned. I'll still get him though, he'll probably be the last word of Mando, at least for me.
Oh this finally popped into my algorithm lol good to see your star wars reviews of Mando always a joy. But what's a bigger joy? Your reviews of the all your Vader figure. You gonna review the new Figuarts Kenobi Vader any time soon? I think you'll like it a lot. The Kenobi version of Vader's helmet really grew on me over time and I much prefer it now over the ROTJ figuarts Vader.
Man I just love this Mafex Mando version 2.0, the big sell is the Pedro face and the accesories.
Those angled tight grip hands seem to be for the knife since the shape of the hole matches the knifes handle. The hand you stuck the knife in seems to be for the spear lol
Been looking forward to this review. Still awaiting on mine to arrive here in the UK from Japan.
After watching the tracking, it’s gone to Japan, then China, then France, then Germany and now it’s stuck in Belgium. Fingers crossed it arrives in one piece 😂
There's a hole on his wrist for the grappling hook. If u take off his right hand and look inside the joint u should see it. Similar to how hot toys did theirs.
I was just about to comment on the rifle storage. I did the same thing. Move the cape out of the way and just make it flow over. I think that looks better anyway.
Yeah, after coming back around I like it better that way too.
I hope we’ll get a review of the mafex boba when he comes out! 😊
Don't tell Wade I said this but my OCD helped me through this review
MORE clips of Robo troubleshooting and dealing with frustration please. Next week, Robo does his taxes.
Great review! I've never understood the the purpose of the "drop-down shoulders." Is it for when one wants to pose their figure as shrugging, forlorn or dejected?
7:07 I think a cape and jetpack combo would be asking for trouble
I had the same thought!
I don't think I would superglue the gauntlet piece maybe try a little bit of PTFE (plumber) tape on the peg it should give it that little bit more friction to hold it in place.
Nice review Robo and now that we are on the topic of Star Wars figures (I apologize if you have answered this before) is there any reasson to not review the SH Figuarts Kenoby Darth Vader? Im just curious since usually there is always Star Wars reviews in your end specially when it comes to look for that definitive version
I just haven't got to it, haha. It's in the pile, stuff keeps jumping ahead.I think I'm going to do a Best Vader type video with it at some point.
Hey Robo, my Mando is the Black Series Glavis version. Would like a Mafex one, but is to high for my budget.
I love ya, Robo, but you had a bit of a Falling Down, 'D-FENS!' moment there, about 15 minutes in, lol.
Great video as always Robo! Will you be getting the Amazing Yamaguchi Flash figures?
Naw, I like the looks but I've slowed way down on Revoltech and DC so that's a double whammy against that Flash.
I sold my V1 Mafex Mando. It just didn't hit the notes I wanted the way one of the many versions I decided upon from Hasbro did. The same peg/hole/accessory, head, all of it is where Mafex just overcomplicated it. If you need four hands to make your figure do the thing, then it's two hands too many.
Yes, I knew the Mafex 2.0 would take top Mando. Nice review.
That neck made a world of difference!
"Is that the last of us" 😂😂
I got two ads right as Grogu's arm came off and was so anxious to see of it broke. Amazing tension building 😂
For me I still like the simplicity of the Black Series versions. With the BS there isn’t a million small parts that come off and are changeable. For really all Mandolorians and Boba Fett
Does the head on 2.0 sit higher than 1.0 or is it different? I'm thinking i could design a peg for 1.0 to bump the head up a little.
I believe it's a completely different neck piece. I got some modified pegs for the SHF Mandos and it made a world of difference.
imma gonna guess you didn't realize how long this would end up when you said "a quick look" :D
No, no I didn't, haha.
Thats always the case hahaha and im all in for it!
It is so overengineered it's frustrating. They should have just made the gauntlets removable and had an additional pair with the effects permanently attached or have a peg hole to attach just the effects.
The accessories are great, but the Black Series is more fun to pose around and it looks just as good as the Mafex does with my Figuarts and Black Series figures.
Now I have to decide if I want the Mafex or the Figuarts Ahsoka.
They had swappable gauntlets with MAFEX 1.0, don't know why they didn't stick with that. And yeah, same, I have MAFEX Ahsoka on pre-order but I'm sure liking the look of that SHF....
Figuarts should have just done the white suited version of Ahsoka and made it easier for us.@@RoboDontKnow
Gah! I didn't even think of that! That would be a perfect world scenario.
The black series ringworld mando definutely goes toe to toe with the mafex for me. The only real upperhand mafex has is the accesories
He got two new blasters at the end of s3 so they’ll be a new fig just for those soon lol
Seems like you suffered a lot with this one but it was entertaining lol btw they are planning a movie about Mando and Grogu so yey more Mando figures in the next years 😂
Hey Robo did you mean to put the Fwoosh’s info in the description for this vid?
That's what I get for using my notes from Mando 1.0, haha.
Took me a 2nd to get the into joke
amazing video as always! If u want your superglue to last longer and also work faster, store it in the fridge 👍
Do you need a beer buddy? Poor Robo, breath my friend. It's gonna' be ok dude.
There is another season or movie going to be released
14:55 I think the fact that its an import might have something to do with it. Imports have a reputation of being high end and hyper detailed with tons of features, so maybe now and again that results in them making some things needlessly complex for the sake of added function and detail
Robo lol you could have put the piece on the back and then pushed it through the cape, then while holding it in place put the tip of the rifle through it 🤣
I tried several different ways, it wasn't happening, haha. My own fault, I should just stop and go watch TV for a while when I feel that frustration coming on.
@@RoboDontKnow well you're saving all of us a headache in advance so we appreciate it lol 🫡
That rifle will be staying in the packaging 🤣
Whelp, I just had to lick all my mafex figures...thx Robo
I still like the new shf better… if you have a chance to mess with it go for it … SHF DID updated his version in a few things … I mean real updates
They fooled me once, and then twice, I didn't want to go for a third, but I have seen some good things.
@@RoboDontKnow yeah I feel you … mostly because it’s the same thing that happened to me with the 1.0 mafex that kept me from getting this one.
One thing though … new shf is way better than the other shf ones but still have the same proportions so you won’t like it as much as those mafex ones
Ooooooohhhhh, okay, if the proportions are the same then it's a no-go for me.
The color of the armor on the Figuarts Season 3 is off, but the articulation is so much better and it doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart in your hands.
@@freddysmith1471 agreed but I like the darker one … suits more the low lights represented in the show on most of the season 3 episodes and also having the previous versions I appreciate the different tone but yeah I know what you mean
When did Robo leave Fwoosh?!
The front of the box looks like a cereal box. Just take out the figure & insert a cereal bowl with some kind of Mando shaped crunchy things and you're good to go.
So you can't have the jetpack and rifle on his back at the same time?
KrAgLe!!!!
❤
2hrs and 24min
That's a pretty hefty run time remembering that most films are 1hr 30 or 40 min long going over the 2hr mark is great if the story calls for it and I'm sure that in this case it does.....I think the outcry is more a sign of how excited people are for this movie and I get it we want as much of these two characters as we can get it feels like we've waited forever to see these two together but anything longer than 2hrs 30min. you risk dragging things out and running flat so this sounds about right to me
What movie? What run time?
@@RoboDontKnow I have no idea how this comment ended up on your channel I was commenting on another video that I watched before yours about the Deadpool Wolverine movie runtime and then I watched your review....classic Robo btw......I love Mafex...just finally got my Magneto figure and have been obsessed with it.......maybe that's how I screwed up the comment thing......ahhh....distraction
I feel you man hahahahahahaha
I don't understand why they can't slap a soft goods strap on the damn rifle like they do on that bag, what is the hold up?
Why did my Shatterstar figure from the 90s smell so weird when I was a kid?
RIP to all those who didn't live to see this due to putting small parts in their mouths.
i see all these qc problems then i see mando and grogu and they all fade away
Unfortunately, no, this isn't the latest Mando look. In season 3 he got two new pistols to dual wield.
So, look for that coming soon from all the companies...
2:28 I'll gnaw on sh figuarts and mafexes all I want, Robo
Robo knows rage! Love your vids. They’ll fix it when you pick up Mandalorian 3.0 😂
Ahh shit I finally found Robo new channel! What happened with the old one?
Just breaking off on my own, focusing on just videos and other things I wanted to do outside of this crazy community.
@@RoboDontKnow ohh good to know that 👍🏻 glad you are doing what you wanna. Also, review Mafex Iron Man Mark 50? 🥹
When you consider the accessories and Grogu figures, the price difference between the Mafex and Hasbro is not that much anymore.
How can you buy so many versions of the same character?
I may be slightly hypocritical, I have 3 mandos myself XD
Haha, yeah, I love Mando. Each one has their own ups and downs. I like experiencing those ups and downs.
