Oh how I love these KenObwee figure comparison videos. This was an easy one tho. Mafex has better portions,details,sculpt and articulation. Much greater value seeing that you only need to by one Mafex Iron Man figure for a complete experience. And finally the unmasked Tony Stark head sculpts is leagues better than SHF. It’s a pretty spot on likeness to RDJ. You said it was a toss up but objectively speaking really it’s not even close. Another great video!
Thanks for watching! Yeah mafex took a lot of points but sadly as mentioned in the video by now I'm not sure how many people are interested in this figure
After I cut a little bit of the shoulder for movement and add super glue to it the shoulders are really stable and not a floppy anymore. After the fix the mafex one is truly a masterpiece
Not done watching the vid but if figuarts is more possible and has more articulation, I’d pick Z.D. 2.0 For display (I know it’s not there but I like the LED) and Figuarts for playing with and dynamic poses. I’ve seen this before I think but now I’m considering buying one fr
I have the 1st shf mark 85 ...and since I'm the kind of guy who puts it in a pose and keeps it in the display like that ...I'm happy with that one and after getting it from japan it costs me only 40$ with shipping and all ..so I'm more than happy
@@kenohwee Somewhat. They're similar to ML in that their crunch is poor. There is a swivel right under the chest but it's more like a back and forward mini crunch. This chest swivel does pull up though to give you more room for flying poses. Enough to get into some flying poses though. Their shoulders have some pull out like drop down hips in some ML's for pseudo butterfly joints. So I'd say not as good as the Modular comic Iron Man in articulation, but not terrible either. I have my mk 3 in his landing pose. Took a little effort but he got there.
The comparison I’ve been waiting to see😃😃😃 I think Mafex definitely blows all three Figuarts figures outta the water in detail and accessories, since you don’t need to buy the same figure a number of times to get all the accessories like the Figuarts. But for me personally I think the red on the default non-damaged Figuarts MK85 is a bit better-looking and more accurate
S.h.figuarts Clean edition was made before the movie was released to you can't really blame them while the mafex was VERY late but had time for it , so it's an unfair accuracy battle
I agree with the clean edition, however though, it doesn't excuse Bandai from the other two releases. They had plenty of time to resculpt but they chose to reuse the old sculpt. Hence that's why i used the clean edition as a base comparison
well, i have the first SHF MK85 with Takara Tony upgrade parts with all the same accessories + Takara Tony's MK85 head sculpt. I also did buy the Mafex MK85. Between the two i'd still give the winner to Mafex. The main thing is the accuracy put the Mafex over the top of the SHF. I also have the re-issue mafex MK43 and the original Mk45 (which is a loose mess, but I tighten all the joints) and pretty much all the SHF Iron Mans except the Hot Rod that has released so far. SHFs are great, but my favorites are the three mafex if you asked me to choose. Now I have a dilemma to whether or not to sell the SHF Mk43,45 and 85 + Takara Tony stuff.
Nice ~ I see you're a true iron man fan haha. How did you tighten the joints though? Well that's a tough question in which I myself have the same problem. I...need...to..let..go
@@kenohwee I bought the Kiki joint tightener from ebay. i think it's just floor polish as it pretty much hardens, but doesn't glue. i've used different floor polish it smells and dry similar just not as tacky. just drip it into the joints and let it dry. If it gets loose after you pose around with it, just repeat the process. doesn't damaged the figure itself.
Do the Fantascraft one, IMO comparing SHF with Mafex in this case is kinda pointless as the SHF is 3 years old and based on concept images But the Mafex has a serious shoulder issue, happened with plenty of people. It's always the same side as well
But figuarts had chances to update their design on the other figures but didn't unfortunately. Hence the comparison. I haven't heard about fantascraft I might check it out. Thanks for your suggestion! Yeah that shoulder guard is bad, but happened on both sides for me
The shoulder issue was a problem for me too at first. Easy fix is to just get some nail polish and just apply enough to thicken up where they peg in and it works wonders. They don’t fall off and they stay down and flush with the arm. Give it a try it will definitely improve the figure.
The Fantascraft Mark 85 Version 2 is a huge improvement on the Version 1. Much better sculpted shoulder pads and a light up refocuser for the back. I just got mine a few days after the Mafex version. For paint, the die-cast body and including the light up eyes, chest and the refocuser, the Fantascraft is better. The Mafex has the more accurate proportions, better articulation and more accessories. Minuses are the knees on my Fantascraft are very loose due to the figures weight and the materials on the Mafex are too weak.

Bruh no way, there’s no toss up the mafex headsculpt is better.

how do you do it
Release the tutorial

Well, now you should do a video of Captain America (Endgame) Mafex vs S.h figuarts (included The final battle edition)
I’m excited to see it!💯
I love the comparison videos
Glad you liked it!

Great video mate!!!😂😂
Take a look at the ZD Toys Ironmen. They're really great in my opinion especially for the price! I love the Mk 5 and Mk 3 of theirs.
the scale is not fitting to other characters
@@power279 Yeah they're a bit taller but I still think that they look great for the price.
I've seen them but curious about their articulation. Can they crunch though?
@@kenohwee Somewhat. They're similar to ML in that their crunch is poor. There is a swivel right under the chest but it's more like a back and forward mini crunch.

@@venomsjunkmail Thanks for sharing, i never got into that line after seeing their stiff ab articulation, but glad to hear you're enjoying your figure
You got me interested, truth be told I forgot all about the mafex ver. Great comparisons.
Thank you!

i'm surprised the marvel legends two pack iron man with thanos has the best rdj head out of them
You have to do figma deadpool vs Mafex deadpool
I'd for sure have to go with the mafex iron man

@@FrankW1029 Interesting - thanks for sharing, I might try this one one of my figures
Did you tighten the hinge in the waist of the sh f Ironman that is loose? If so, how did you do it?
Alright this awesome 👌 👏 👍
My man is coming back
Thank goodness i didn't get any shf iron man mark 85
The i am iron man version of shf wins ot all
Shf looks more gorgeous tbh.

But the Mafex has a serious shoulder issue, happened with plenty of people. It's always the same side as well
the shoulder design is pretty stupid imo, why make it a pad when actually it's wasnt in the movie??

As per usual, the Mafex is more accurate.
please do mafex endgame captain america vs figuarts
I would but... I think there's no competition though
9 months later, we can't find this figure on the market. And the 2nd hand price for it has doubled from the first release price 🤣
BBTS has both Mafex and Figuarts for preorder in September and October.
The winner is Fantacraft
Mafex Wins
I know which Iron Man figure won
go on ask me don’t be afraid
Final battle SH figurarts is the best
Marvel Legends for the win!
For budget, no doubt, for others, 🤔🤔🤔
