I got mine in earlier this week, it’s definitely my favorite 6”-ish scale Cap. HOWEVER, both shoulders and hips got really tight on mine as I posed him, had to use silicone oil on the shoulder ball joints and hip ball joints now they move really well but still hold their position. But the left leg on mine also has a slight looseness on the drop down and the thigh swivel is very loose. The toe joint also sucks as you mentioned, it’s unusable unless you want to use a stand. I’m still happy I bought it because I’ve had fun posing him around. But man… I was expecting to like it so much more from the in hand pictures I’ve seen.
I find that when I get the Mafex version I never need another one. I still get more satisfaction from these at their price point compared to a Legends or McFarlane at theirs. That's just me though.
Facts. I've almost never been fully satisfied with a Legends. McFarlane can come very close every now and again, but for those few that do, they can usually be modded into near perfection.
Just got this guy yesterday. The thing that sales me with this version over the Legends is the proportions. The big head, small chest, low shoulders, and skinny shins on the 20th Anniv. Legends version just does not look appealing to me. Mafex has a smaller head, bigger raised shoulders, wider chest, and better shaped legs. He still fairly long legged and a bit lanky, but this is based on an earlier Kirby era of Cap where he was a bit lanky. To me, the Mafex one feels more comic esque than the Legends version. It also helps that he can actually kick out to the side. Overall, I feel comfortable saying this is my definitive Captain America.
Q of the Day: The stripes are very distracting for me as well. They’re off-center as you mentioned and too thin for my tastes. I think I would have been fine to stick with the Hasbro ML 20th Anniversary Cap and keep the $85 or whatever the Mafex version ended up costing me after shipping. I’m not ragging on the Mafex version so much as I’m simply getting tired of “upgrading”. Action figures are becoming like iPhones. There’s a new and better version every year. Sometimes you just need to be okay with not having the latest and greatest if what you do have is working fine for you.
It's a nice release, though I'm pretty satisfied with my 20th anniversary Marvel Legends Cap. The recently revealed Secret Wars Cap might replace it, though.
There's a huge problem on this figure that once you realize it you might never touch it again... Almost all of the blue parts are painted and the plastic underneath is way brighter also the paint is not strong enough, mine has started scuffing up on the butterfly joint terribly and the shoulders and a lot of my friends are saying the same
The classic version is not for me. Hopefully they will do a more contemporary version. I was thinking on getting the Secret wars cap, but guess what, he only comes with a broken shield. I would say any cap should come with a standard unbroken shield. Personally, if I have to buy two ML to get a decent figure, ill better wait for a good Mafex, unfortunately this version is not for me, but maybe if I find a deal on it (like I did with the Thor figure).
Honestly I like this Cap enough and I don’t have the 60th one but I refuse to pay the scalper prices on that one and just pay the extra 20-40 on this one
Wicked solid looking, very Jack Kirby which is cool. I don't know if I will end up with it but yeah, the stripe layout is a little aggravating lol, I just don't like asymmetry. Great review!
He looks ok...I can't deal with the stripes..,.I know it's classic but .....I'll keep my ML anniversary Cap for now....not gonna pay Mafex prices....especially where I am.....for this one
my biggest issue with this figure is the stripes on his stomach, it looks so much better with a solid stripe right down the middle like on the select figure
The promo images put me off on the heads but I like them enough in person. I just opened mine yesterday and I really liked it until you pointed out that the stripes aren’t centered. Now it’s going in the garbage.
what biases against mafex? you guys projecting things on to other people is getting ridiculous. a 9/10 for a figure with screwed up paint and bad hips and toes? but giving it an 8 is My biases... ok.
@@AnthonysCustoms perhaps the paint was just a manufacturing goof up. My paint is fine. You just sounded unimpressed throughout the whole review 😂.. hey Anthony I still love you man. Keep up the good work 👍
This is my first video I've watch from your channel and it's quite evident you are a ML fan because of the price. This review felt forced, almost feels like you did this review to say it was bad because you like a ML, MS, or DS Version of it. Maybe you have a review out now im not sure will check it after. I think I would have respected this review more if you just said how you truly felt. I'm not the biggest Mafex fan. I think they have a lot they need to work on for the price they charge. Mafex isn't even my top 3.
That might be the most projection I've ever heard. "I don't know anything about you so let me make up a bunch of stuff and argue about it. I won't take what you're saying at face value because then I can't have something to complain about on the internet."
Watch a few of his other videos, but different brands of figures (MAFEX, Legends, Select or McFarlane). Then you can draw a conclusion. In his reviews, he remains neutral about 95% of the time and does not show any favoritism.

Well you honestly have never watched him before since he pretty much trashes hasbro regularly . Must be a mafex stan
Promo pics did not do this justice
Agreed
I think he looks pretty good slim maybe but definitely not too skinny he looks proportional to venom and superman so that's good enough for me

This and the Select are the 2 default Caps as far as im concerned

For sure. My phone is old as heck. No need to keep up with the Joneses so to speak
Prefer the Marvel Select. $30 for 3 heads, 2 shields, and different hand options
It's a nice release, though I'm pretty satisfied with my 20th anniversary Marvel Legends Cap. The recently revealed Secret Wars Cap might replace it, though.
Can’t wait for your Mafex DD review!!!
next week

This is my definitive Cap, but I like the more retro designs for the Avengers. He looks great on the shelf with their retro Iron Man and Thor
I still kind of like the ML 20th anniversary Cap better, even though on secondary market it costs just about as much as this Cap.
The off-center stripes on the stomach is from the very old captain america designs.When comics were 25 cents in the 70s.
The smaller lines look much better in comic form and not distracting. It doesnt look like it translates to a figure well.
The classic version is not for me. Hopefully they will do a more contemporary version. I was thinking on getting the Secret wars cap, but guess what, he only comes with a broken shield.

It’s classic comic book Captain America by far the best classic cap. It’s not modern.
Wicked solid looking, very Jack Kirby which is cool. I don't know if I will end up with it but yeah, the stripe layout is a little aggravating lol, I just don't like asymmetry. Great review!
This is my definitive cap. I think in hand it’s not as skinny as it seems.
Waiting for Mafex Ultimate Capt. America :D
that would be cool
I am not crazy about the off center stripes either but i actually like the thinness and them being a bit higher up than usual
Will you be reviewing the Mafex Daredevil as well?
Yes. Should be published this coming week
The 20th anniversary marvel legends cap still looks better to ME . Especially the scale armor is more pronounced
He looks ok...I can't deal with the stripes..,.I know it's classic but .....I'll keep my ML anniversary Cap for now....not gonna pay Mafex prices....especially where I am.....for this one

Waiting on the daredevil review before i pull the trigger.
next week
The stripes threw me off at first but i got used to them
The promo images put me off on the heads but I like them enough in person.
I just opened mine yesterday and I really liked it until you pointed out that the stripes aren’t centered. Now it’s going in the garbage.
lol
Theres a new ml cap from secret wars coming soon
He’s more like a 9/10. I feel like your biases against mafex not giving it enough credit. Thank you for the review though 👍
what biases against mafex? you guys projecting things on to other people is getting ridiculous. a 9/10 for a figure with screwed up paint and bad hips and toes? but giving it an 8 is My biases... ok.

Not a big fan of the huge broad upper body and regular legs, He looks like a gym bro who skips leg day.
Thanks for review. How is your foot though?
not broken. nerve problem. not sure which is better. no clear course forward at this point so just hoping it becomes usable on its own. thanks
Why don't collectors talk about how ugly the gappy joints are with imported figures? And they're ugly in static poses lol.
are you just making the case for statues? it has nothing to do with imports vs domestic figures. more range requires more joint.
Wish they gave it a pistol
