The body mold needs an update. My main grip are the knees, he does not get nearly enough bend in the knee for a spidey. Especially when compared to the sentinel or AY 2.0 versions.
Nah, amongst the Peter Parker figures the 075 (reissue) is the only one that has no problems. 108 has weak joints, 147 has paint chipping issues and 185 has both.
@@Spidey616Gaming I’m just going to assume you weren’t aware mcfarlane worked on spider-man while he was at marvel before forming image comics. Looking at your page you make Roblox content, my 9 year old plays Roblox, I’m going to assume you weren’t alive when mcfarlane worked for marvel.
are you serious ? its OBVIOUSLY mark bagley art, look at the figures they picked : spider-man, carnage and venom, and venom and carnage look like the issue of carnage debut, in that comic venom didnt have the huge tongue yet. mcfarlene eyes are droopy and angry, bagley is round and has the notch on the top and in the inner part of the lenses. mc spidey is a mutant, looks creepy as fuck.
MAFEX makes great figures! I have the Winter Soldier,several Spider-man’s, and Captain America’s. Plus MAFEX gives you a bunch of accessory pieces on all their figures.
super interesting hearing the context of when 075 dropped, I can see why this release is so popular!! I personally never really gravitated towards it, but I understand it's significance. (tho I agree, revoltech 1.0 is peak)
Having the matte version of this figure and the symbiote one (my favorite figure of all time) I can say this truly is the goat Spider-Man figure, I think all versions of this figure especially the cell shaded one are such photogenic figures
Whether it’s your favorite or not, this is undoubtedly an amazing Spider-Man figure. I have the 185 version and it’s definitely my favorite figure that I own and is the centerpiece of my collection. Great video.
1000% agree. I always felt like it was a little overhyped, but using it so much for this video definitely made me look at it in a different light. It’s so well-made and well detailed, I think that gets looked over honestly. I love my marvel legends so much but they just can’t compare!
The 8bit Spectacular Spider-Man theme around 4:07 was a great touch! My Mafex Spidey is my favorite in my collection because of how comic accurate and super posable it is. I find myself reposing it almost every other day on my shelf.
BRO the second i said to myself man i wish he has a video on the black suit mafex one too you said "luckily i got a few" and you showed him i got so hype LOL you got my sub bro keep going nice vid !!!!!
Great vid. Just an important clarification: the Mafex line is a hobby for Medicom. Their main line is Be@rBrick, which consists of relatively simple figures but, as art toys, are sold at prices ranging from a Hot Toy to a Prime1 statue
The black suit spidey is the only MAFEX spidey I own and I really never need another one, outside of what Mezco puts out. It's just so perfect and my GO TO for desk buddies and posing!
Great vid! Mafex has been killing it recently especially the Batman Hush line, glad they reissued 075 but its a shame the reissue (185) didn't include the Peter Parker head
Personally I just call the Mafex Spider-Man figure the 90s comicbook figure because the figure is like a fusion of Todd Mcfarlane, Mark Bagley and Erik Larson's artwork
Superb context and great video‼️ I started collecting McFarlen, Diamond Select, and Marvel Legends. But, as I matured in collecting I needed and expected more articulation, detailed sculpt and paint apps! Thus, my love for Amazing Yamaguchi, Mafex, and SH Figuarts (New Blue Suit Spidey) began. I will not collect anything else and gave my previous collection to my Son who also collects figures, comics, etc. and now his son (3 years old) has a very impressive collection as well. (A combination of my son and I previous collections).
9:25 The best (red & blue) Spidey figure ever right there. Sold my 075 one (the semi-metallic blue is subtle, but it's still a thing ) to go with the full-on normal/classic version. Other than the differently proportioned/non-uniform box...the biggest bummer is no Parker head. So even though I sold mine 'cause realistically I was never usin' that Parker head...if I didn't need the money at the time, I definitely would've kept it.
I was lucky enough to get the original release Mafex 075 as my first ever figure, and even as my collection has expanded, he's still my favorite figure in my collection of all time.
So I love my MAFEX Spidey’s but I gotta say, the Revlotech 2.0 is something special. My only gripe is the costume, or armor I should say. And the feet look weird, but aside from that, chefs kiss* If they release a Revlo 2.0 classic or Symbiot… best figure ever
It’s been 5 good years since I bought my 075 still no broken pegs. Just got the black suit reissue as well couple of months ago and Mafex did not miss on that figure.
What you need a calf swivel for when it looks so natural that way. The ankles move at 3 points so it can do something and look more natural than breaking the sculpt and overcompensating with a calf swivel. Which isn’t popular with most Japanese designers.
Love this figure, but it has some design choices that keeps it from being my favorite. Mainly the belt being on the lower torso and not the waist piece. And the hands and feet are too small, with short legs. It’s my favorite head sculpt / mask design out of the other companies tho. Thanks for the history and video!
Got most variants of this, but lost my first to wrist snap and always feel on edge with them since. Shout out to the Venom they made with a similar design though! Big chunky wrists on him.
I love my mafed spidermen. Despite the new SHF spidermen having a lot of range they still fail to compare to the mafex spidey. Owning two of each classic and black suit. They’re amazing and high quality.
It's interesting to see how different brands approach articulation for action figures. SH Figuarts is known for its high level of detail and poseability, which appeals to collectors who want to recreate dynamic poses. Hasbro's Marvel Legends line has also made significant improvements over the years, focusing on better articulation and design to meet fan demands. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what aspects of a figure are most important to you-whether it's articulation, details, or overall aesthetic. What specific poses or features do you think are essential for a good Spider-Man figure?
The body mold needs an update. My main gripe is the knees. He does not get nearly enough bend in the knee for a spidey. Especially when compared to the sentinel or AY 2.0 versions.
@finndeets always has been! Almost totally wrote them off way back in the day with their first Christian Bale batman figs. Insanely articulated and detailed for the time, but just fell apart any time you touched it. I just hope they figure out the knees and the hips mostly. I really love everything above the waist articulation wise on Mafex figures.
Mafex all day everyday!!!! Without question, never liked the revoltech one, it looks too cut up for my liking and they head always seemed a bit off to me, Sentinel’s offering is pretty cool but it’s based on the movie style which is pretty distinctive, if Sentinel ever decides to release a comic version Spidey I think that would be the day when Mafex would get some serious competition
Crazy how expensive figures have gotten. Every Mafex I’ve ever gotten has been worth it tho!! Can’t remember the last time I bought a case of legends :(
I might be wrong here, but I notice that Mafex figures are more expensive than, for example, most SHFiguarts figures, and I'm certain that it's because of the accessories and the amount of them. With an SHF, you kind of get only the bare minimum, but with a Mafex? Extra heads, a lot of extra hands, and I realise that most Mafex figures include effect parts (web effect parts, etc), and you even get a posing stand! Gotta admit that I took quite a hit to my wallet when I paid for my Black Suit Spider-Man, and it really made me question my decision (partly cuz I have 0 actual experience with Mafex), but then it arrived in my mail...and all I'm gonna say is it's worth it. c: Loved how it looks and feels so much that I played around with it first, even though I was already late for a class.
Having the Revoltech 2.0, mafex, sentinel and some legends I feel each one scratches a different itch so I think there’s value in having them all but if I could only take one on an island it would be the sentinel hands down
Its the goat overall. If I was to recommend a spiderman it will be this. Its 100% that the guy I recommend it to will be satisfied. But I do enjoy AY 2.0. it goes hard on posing. its tied with mafex in my book.
oh yeah i got the scarlet spider fig for 80, and my 147 for 45 bucks. still need the official 075 or any of its rereleases, but my customized bootleg does the job really well. mafex spideys are so good, all 3 of them are my main spidey in my collection. just want a kaine now..
I originally had the 1.0 Revo, then got the Sentinel and Revo 2.0. I love them all and I couldn't tell you which of the Revos I prefer since that changes day to day. Unfortunately, I did get the Mafex recently and it just isn't doing anything for me. It feels like it lacks personality, though perhaps thats me preferring a more exaggerated stylization. Like it's objectively good, I think, but I feel nothing when I handle it.
I've been with medicom since they began. I bought gigantor, black ox ,devil man, and thought they were the pinnacle of engineering, use of materials, and $ . This company changed the world. Because Bandai followed. Then Ashley wood followed. And began turning proportions into logical looking, scaled masterpieces of art in pvc.😂❤😂❤
Great production! Seemed like a daunting exercise considering the abundance of videos reviewing Mafex Spider-Man. (I was particularly reminded of Articulated's video production). But your video essay showed that there's still a lot to be said and I enjoyed the delivery and production! Cheers! @snapaspidey
My personal favorite is the Marvel Legends Final Swing Spider-Man. I know it's based on No Way Home, but it has little embellishments that make it feel more comic bookish, like more defined webbing and musculature. I generally like for my figures to look like comic characters translated faithfully to reality, rather than 3D comic book art, but that's just me. I think it's better value for the money than the import figures based on the film. Those just kind of look like dudes in cosplay, whereas the ML figure has just a touch of exaggeration to the anatomy that makes it work better aesthetically as an action figure while still being faithful.
I have the reissue of the first amazing yamaguchi spider man and the reissue of the new mafex comic spider man. It doesn’t come with the Peter Parker head though 😢
Ngl something that I really love about mafex is also the cloth pieces they have for their figures Simple ones are the scarlet spider hoodie but the Peter b Parker and miles outfits are top tier My personal figure OAT is def the symbiote Spider-Man by mafex, fahrulstore’s ps5 head makes it so much better (not the biggest fan of the gigantic eyes, I like my eyes neutral or really squinty and angry, like web of shadows for example) The figures are top tier, tho the thigh swivel is a bit of a pain for spider-man especially
I got a mafex spider-man from bigbadtoystore and both hands, arms, and legs snapped off with almost zero resistance. Haven't bought a mafex since, probably never will
Mafex is the Hot Toys of 1/12 Scale In my opinion. The Cyborg Superman Mafex came out with is Incredible. I Could Stare at it for Hours. Just a Beautiful Figure.
I own a Mafex Spiderman 075, Revoltech 2.0 Spiderman, a lot of Marvel Legends Spiderman, and all 3 live action SHF Spiderman. Personally the best one for me is The Renew Your Vows Spider-Man from Marvel Legends, interms of body sculpt (I like the more muscular built), durability and articulation, the downsides are, it has less accesories, no neck articulation. Next best Spiderman for me is the Revoltech 2.0, it has the best dynamic posing out of all the spiderman figure, the downside is that it has weird body sculpt, and weird articulation, so it's good for display, but not good for making stop motion videos, and lastly the legs keeps falling off. for the MAFEX Spiderman, to be honest I'm kinda underwhelmed by this figure, PROS it has a decent amount of accesories, great sculpt design, and paint job and shading, but the downside is, it lack thigh swivel, shin swivel, and the paint wears off easily on some parts, mostly the torso. for the SHF, I collected them since I like the live action spider-man movies, it has the most detailed design, but the figures itself are very mediocre. Conclusion, there are poses that you can do on mafex that you can't do on marvel legends, and there are poses in marvel legends that you can't do with the mafex.
Since my teen years I owned several toybiz spideys. Constantly hoping to get the definitive spider man figure. Now fast forward to my 30’s I own the Mafex spider men. This and the black suit spidey 🔥 🔥 To fix the small hands I swapped mine for ML hands. And the lines not being dark enough as well. I have a short video showing how i did it.
That's so awesome dude I will have to check out your video! Love the toy biz stuff but imports can just achieve MORE. Im dying to get the McFarlane Toy Biz
I fell in love with the cell shaded version, but straight out the box those wrist pegs broke. Then the knee joints. Sadly I never bought another Mafex figure.
Same thing happened to me (except only a wrist joint) then I bought a replacement on a different website because the seller gave me a refund and my new one is currently my favorite figure 😃😃
I removed the joint all together with pliers, the remaining wrist hole fits marvel legends hand pegs. Looks better even since the mafex hands were so small
I have the 185, it’s a super good figure but it has a few problems. Fresh out the package the shoulders are backwards, I get it’s a bit nit picky but if your paying 95$+ it’s kinda ridiculous. Also the figure paint chips like hell.
That's one of my favorite parts of the AF Legend, it's a nice change. I will always prefer big bagley eyes but I also love small eyes. Web of Shadows look is so good
Great video. I never liked his giant head pared up with his tiny hands and feet though. McFarlane and Bagley never drew him with proportions like that so it’s always seemed like a weird choice
My old hasbro reissue McFarlane/Campbell was stolen by a contractor during a move many years ago. Now, I think it's a no brsiner replacing it with the mafex
@@finndeets probably gonna get the CT version. If it's gonna have shading/panel lining issues and I'll have to fix those myself, I'll at least pay less for the effort. Medicom is fumbling big time with the reissue of Mafex since its inception, and, in this scenario, I can only see the availability of KO as a good thing.
I would say that the comic paint is my favorite look of the mafex but, it depends on what you like if you want great poses go for revoltech it’s amazing, if you want him to sit almost on the floor and with the amazing look of the movie, the sentinel is your go to, but if you want to enjoy and have an amazing figure I would recommend the 185 it is a killa fs
I'm not really a big fan of it. I had one and I ended selling him right away. I felt like it was too expensive for a figure that does basically the same my ML ones. But, I'm on the cheapest side of collecting so, I'm biased. Also the diaper it has was too ugly for me
Totally get that and if you feel like your Marvel Legend gets the job done then it makes complete sense for you to sell. I LOVE my legends but they feel a bit lacking in comparison. I will never stop buying domestic Spideys tho!
I love this figure and his variants, it is fantastic for display. Have you got the spiderman red and blue sh figuarts no way home? If not you should get he is almost perfect. Im sure you will like it.
It looks fantastic! My good friend SpiderCriminal did a review on it and he did an excellent job, I'd highly recommend checking it out! Hope I can add it to my collection someday :)
Mafex Spider-Man is elite,they pretty much have Spiderman down to a Science at this point
The body mold needs an update. My main grip are the knees, he does not get nearly enough bend in the knee for a spidey. Especially when compared to the sentinel or AY 2.0 versions.
Elite? 😂
Nah, amongst the Peter Parker figures the 075 (reissue) is the only one that has no problems. 108 has weak joints, 147 has paint chipping issues and 185 has both.
Mafex 075 is the GOAT and OG. Its the standard that all lines are striving for.

Collecting Mafex was the best decision I ever made when it comes to collecting
The Marvel Legends jump to Mafex was insane
Mafex makes such nice figures dude. Their Hush line is my favorite!
I own this one and most of the newer ones, and they did made the torso articulation better, specifically the lower torso
this was a fantastic video!! always felt crazy for not liking this guys leg articulation
really well edited and well said!

Man i feel that so heavy, my first real figure was a toybiz Spiderman 2 figure and i still have SO much love for it. Nostalgia carries a long way
So I love my MAFEX Spidey’s but I gotta say, the Revlotech 2.0 is something special. My only gripe is the costume, or armor I should say. And the feet look weird, but aside from that, chefs kiss*

What you need a calf swivel for when it looks so natural that way. The ankles move at 3 points so it can do something and look more natural than breaking the sculpt and overcompensating with a calf swivel. Which isn’t popular with most Japanese designers.
075 reissue is the best and the only one that can hold the title. 108 and 185 have several QC issues.
11:18 i NEED that spectacular spider-man figure !!!!!
Super fun video bro!
Thank you so much bro I appreciate you! :)
This one Spider-Man figure has caused great sadness, depression, insomnia, PTSD, arguments, betrayal, and near death experiences. I cannot get it😭

I feel each one scratches a different itch so I think there’s value in having them all but if I could only take one on an island it would be the sentinel hands down
Yeah they all have their place, it’s the reason I collect so many lines. Different figures fit different circumstances!!

idk if im just tweaking but i always thought it was channeling Todd Mcfarlane
The fact I own this figure is amazing to me 🔥
I always thought it looked more like Sal Buscema art instead of mcfarlane, especially the side profile and the points on the top on the lenses
I can definitely see that!!
BANGER
Thanks king!!
Omg I was featured I said 075. Love your pics and this vid 👍👍👍
Thanks for answering the original prompt bro!
My personal favorite is the Marvel Legends Final Swing Spider-Man. I know it's based on No Way Home, but it has little embellishments that make it feel more comic bookish, like more defined webbing and musculature. I generally like for my figures to look like comic characters translated faithfully to reality, rather than 3D comic book art, but that's just me. I think it's better value for the money than the import figures based on the film. Those just kind of look like dudes in cosplay, whereas the ML figure has just a touch of exaggeration to the anatomy that makes it work better aesthetically as an action figure while still being faithful.
That figure looks great and I am planning on picking it up at some point!! Thank you for the comment!
Dude GREAT VID. reminds me of those mini doc vids on youtube about iPod touches lol. Make a HULK VID AND HOW WE ARE LACKING
Thank you so much man!! Dude i need to get my hands on a good hulk and im down. Hulk fans are starving fr
I have the reissue of the first amazing yamaguchi spider man and the reissue of the new mafex comic spider man. It doesn’t come with the Peter Parker head though 😢
I have the 185 and I love it so much. I prefer the paint on the 075 but it’s too hard to find :(
They both have their positives and negatives. I LOVE the 185!!
Ngl something that I really love about mafex is also the cloth pieces they have for their figures
Simple ones are the scarlet spider hoodie but the Peter b Parker and miles outfits are top tier
My personal figure OAT is def the symbiote Spider-Man by mafex, fahrulstore’s ps5 head makes it so much better (not the biggest fan of the gigantic eyes, I like my eyes neutral or really squinty and angry, like web of shadows for example)
The figures are top tier, tho the thigh swivel is a bit of a pain for spider-man especially
I absolutely enjoy Mafex, they really are beautiful to look at but on Spider-Man, I do prefer the marvel legends spidey sculpts especially AF15
LOVE me a Legends Spidey. If you like Marvel Legends and enjoyed this video, I think you’ll REALLY love my new video coming out this Friday.. :)
I got a mafex spider-man from bigbadtoystore and both hands, arms, and legs snapped off with almost zero resistance. Haven't bought a mafex since, probably never will
Mafex is the Hot Toys of 1/12 Scale In my opinion. The Cyborg Superman Mafex came out with is Incredible. I Could Stare at it for Hours. Just a Beautiful Figure.
Love their DC stuff so much, Hush line is peak
I own a Mafex Spiderman 075, Revoltech 2.0 Spiderman, a lot of Marvel Legends Spiderman, and all 3 live action SHF Spiderman.
Personally the best one for me is The Renew Your Vows Spider-Man from Marvel Legends, interms of body sculpt (I like the more muscular built), durability and articulation, the downsides are, it has less accesories, no neck articulation.
Next best Spiderman for me is the Revoltech 2.0, it has the best dynamic posing out of all the spiderman figure, the downside is that it has weird body sculpt, and weird articulation, so it's good for display, but not good for making stop motion videos, and lastly the legs keeps falling off.
for the MAFEX Spiderman, to be honest I'm kinda underwhelmed by this figure, PROS it has a decent amount of accesories, great sculpt design, and paint job and shading, but the downside is, it lack thigh swivel, shin swivel, and the paint wears off easily on some parts, mostly the torso.
for the SHF, I collected them since I like the live action spider-man movies, it has the most detailed design, but the figures itself are very mediocre.
Conclusion, there are poses that you can do on mafex that you can't do on marvel legends, and there are poses in marvel legends that you can't do with the mafex.
Thanks for the comment, love your ranking. I really like the renew your vows but the plastic is just a bit too shiny IMO!
I've held off getting this guy for a while. I think you may have convinced me otherwise though 😂
Highest compliment you could give! You won’t be disappointed!!
Since my teen years I owned several toybiz spideys. Constantly hoping to get the definitive spider man figure. Now fast forward to my 30’s I own the Mafex spider men. This and the black suit spidey 🔥 🔥
To fix the small hands I swapped mine for ML hands. And the lines not being dark enough as well. I have a short video showing how i did it.
That's so awesome dude I will have to check out your video! Love the toy biz stuff but imports can just achieve MORE. Im dying to get the McFarlane Toy Biz
@@finndeets mcfarlane toybiz is a good piece to own just to showcase how much action figures have evolved 👍🏼
I fell in love with the cell shaded version, but straight out the box those wrist pegs broke. Then the knee joints. Sadly I never bought another Mafex figure.
Same thing happened to me (except only a wrist joint) then I bought a replacement on a different website because the seller gave me a refund and my new one is currently my favorite figure 😃😃
I removed the joint all together with pliers, the remaining wrist hole fits marvel legends hand pegs. Looks better even since the mafex hands were so small
The QC is TERRIBLE but if it works it’s a wonderful piece!
To be honest 185 and sentinel Peter B are the goats
They are SO goated
Make a vid on the sentinel spiderman!!!
Maybe down the line I will!! I have some ideas cooking don't worry :)
Subscribing just because of this video
Thank you so much!! Much more to come :)
I have the 185, it’s a super good figure but it has a few problems. Fresh out the package the shoulders are backwards, I get it’s a bit nit picky but if your paying 95$+ it’s kinda ridiculous. Also the figure paint chips like hell.
Yup, mafex spiderman forsure. I am also him and can confirm.
indeed , but I want small eyes spider man like ditko style spidey
That's one of my favorite parts of the AF Legend, it's a nice change. I will always prefer big bagley eyes but I also love small eyes. Web of Shadows look is so good
Great video. I never liked his giant head pared up with his tiny hands and feet though. McFarlane and Bagley never drew him with proportions like that so it’s always seemed like a weird choice
Yes completely 100% agree. Thank you for the comment! :)
My old hasbro reissue McFarlane/Campbell was stolen by a contractor during a move many years ago. Now, I think it's a no brsiner replacing it with the mafex
That’s such a bummer dude. Get yourself a Mafex and you won’t be disappointed!!
@@finndeets probably gonna get the CT version. If it's gonna have shading/panel lining issues and I'll have to fix those myself, I'll at least pay less for the effort.
Medicom is fumbling big time with the reissue of Mafex since its inception, and, in this scenario, I can only see the availability of KO as a good thing.
7:00 holy shit is that my photo
Thank you so much for putting it on the Internet so I could use it!! :)
I would say that the comic paint is my favorite look of the mafex but, it depends on what you like if you want great poses go for revoltech it’s amazing, if you want him to sit almost on the floor and with the amazing look of the movie, the sentinel is your go to, but if you want to enjoy and have an amazing figure I would recommend the 185 it is a killa fs
They are all immaculate options. Love them all
I am a huge proponent for calf swivels, but I would find it a little redundant to have both calf and ankle swivels.
Fair point!!
Now do a video on the REAL goat… Legends Six Arm Spidey 😤
GRAIL
Maybe if their WRIST JOINTS DIDNT SNAP AT EVERY SLIGHT TURN
Mafex's QC is its biggest downfall.
147 is by far the best mafex spiderman
I'm not really a big fan of it. I had one and I ended selling him right away. I felt like it was too expensive for a figure that does basically the same my ML ones. But, I'm on the cheapest side of collecting so, I'm biased. Also the diaper it has was too ugly for me
Totally get that and if you feel like your Marvel Legend gets the job done then it makes complete sense for you to sell. I LOVE my legends but they feel a bit lacking in comparison. I will never stop buying domestic Spideys tho!
I love this figure and his variants, it is fantastic for display. Have you got the spiderman red and blue sh figuarts no way home? If not you should get he is almost perfect. Im sure you will like it.
I have not gotten it yet but I am planning on getting it at some point!
Whats your opinion about the new shf no way home suit
It looks fantastic! My good friend SpiderCriminal did a review on it and he did an excellent job, I'd highly recommend checking it out! Hope I can add it to my collection someday :)
@@finndeets 👍
I wanted to collect mafex but my comic Spidey broke first day out of packaging( 2019) n I’ve nvr been able to bring myself to try mafex again
I’m sorry to hear that dude
First of all....IM HIM!!!!!!!!
