I don't collect MAFEX figures because I feel like they're a little too pricey for me to buy but this Jim Lee Magneto from Medicom looks dope with the head sculpts especially the magnetic accessories, Overall, Awesome review Xcorpeo.
Same. I only have a couple of my favorite characters, this will be the next. I hate the marvel legends Magnetos i cant wait to get rid of them. None of them do him justice.
Yes the Medicom Mafex Magneto is definitely the DEFINITIVE Magneto in 1/12 scale and I don't see a reason for debate on this one 😂 Thanks for the in depth review as well.
I have both this Mafex and the Mezco Magnto. I prefer the Mezco version because it’s sturdier and has better accessories. Although the Mafex version does have way better head sculpts .
Considering these are Japanese imports, the "they're pretty pricey" comments are pretty ignorant. They also come with a variety of accessories that Hasbro is too cheap to add to their figures, + wired fabric capes. The sculpts & POA are also superior to what they make.
Man! You talk about hasbro being cheap! These mafex figures dont give these accesories for free! They charge for them! Hasbro could do the same but imagine all the whinning then? 😅
@@dave52g why is everyone saying this? No it’s not! Yeah it’s like $60-80 but then the cheapest shipping option is $50 and you gotta shell out for the $90-$120 shipping if you want it in less than 2 months!
I still find it hard to pay $80+ for a plain body with a couple new parts added to it. Plus questionable plastic quality that cracks or breaks after a couple poses. Also, They keep using the same face for every comic figure. I want this but not for anything over $60 lol good review btw🙏🏻
Plastic quality and joint engineering has improved massively since the early days. And with digital sculpting, I suppose there's a "shortcut" in head sculpts now. Not justifying it, but Hasbro is doing the same. That's why I said in my review that I'd have liked Mags to have some more painted lines and wrinkles in his face to set him apart in terms of look and age
@@Raimispidey956 with Hasbro you'd need to buy 2 or 3 figures to get the equivalent range of accessories, and on top of that do some customisation work for a poseable cape. No right or wrong here, it's just personal preference.
If u look at the side by side comparison, they're level up to the shoulders. ML's large head and helmet (that sits too high) add the artificial height. If Hasbro were to do a "new" one, it'd be pretty much a typical rehash - the same body mould is still being released but with concealed pins, as seen on Fang
It's a great figure but I think with a few paint adjustments and it can be even better. I might paint the eyes white, as I think it looks better and the helmet, just like the AOA version, looks too plasticy and I might add a layer of red metallic paint.
As cool as this figure is, and I’m a Mafex fan, there’s something about Magneto’s design that I feel has a difficult time translating to an action figure that can break most collectors’ Top 5.
This Mafex Magneto has the proportions well done, the Hasbro one is horrible next to this one, the Mafex one feels like it just came out of the comic pages, again, the proportions, the stance, the cape, the painting, almost a perfect 10, the other one, looks like a big headed guy, that head doesn't fit with that muscular body, don't know why Hasbro doesn't improve their products. See ya.
I’ll be getting this version the cloth cape sells me 💯 although the head from the apocalypse wave is superior but over all this version is the one I’ll buy , I have the yamaguchi one too but this is the definitive Magneto
Xcorpeo got tired of fixing every Hasbro figure he had to get the MAFEX Magneto for a change :P
😂😂 ML Mags is still waiting for me to fix up his fabric cape

I’ve been waiting for a review on this guy and I’m glad you were the one to put one up first!
A first-rate review of Magneto and his awesome accessories!
The cape is sick it rly adds to the figure, he looks sick in dynamic poses with the cape flowin behind him
Good figure figure by itself, but near Marvel Legends, it's too short! Magneto is a tall guy, I don´t think it works with Legends.
The Marvel legends Magneto is almost the same height, this better but yes more expensive
I have both this Mafex and the Mezco Magnto. I prefer the Mezco version because it’s sturdier and has better accessories. Although the Mafex version does have way better head sculpts .
I think the same I’m getting a Mezco better too I feel it’s just better
Great review as always bro.
Very nice figure if i was gonna drop over £100 on a Magneto it would be this one !
Good one by Mafex!

@@rammuansicstin5086 nah fam hasbro is gipping us and only getting worse in quality while raising prices. Keep settling for less if you want.
@@mythicpeyote will never change your mind, will never change mine!
Cool action figure
The cape makes a big difference but there is also a big price difference between this new Marvel legends.
Definitely worth it if you get from japanese sites....

@@xcorpeo thats the problem. Now that you brought it up, if hasbro can do it for $30 figures why would i pay $80+ for the same method?

Yeah but unfortunately hes 100 dollars, and hes way too short. Im waiting for a new ML, just a matter of time

Good Review
this is the best magneto I've seen in 1/12 scale over any company 🎉
I think Mezco it’s still better
Awesome figure for sure but too too expansive
Too short and not enough paint apps for the price imo.

Anime looking. Hard pass.
