Recently got the Mafex Spider-man and it is easily my favourite Spider-man figure, just wish those damn wrist pegs weren't more fragile than Gwen's neck
OH DAMN
Savage, that was
True Spider-Man fans only understand that
Fyi both pegs have now broken
@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 just go up on ebay and buy some revotech replacement joints in red. they pretty much works the same. in the future if you encounter tight joints on import figures, just drip liquid soap into the joint and let it sit for few days.
It's amazing to think just how much I disliked Hasbro's Marvel Legends in their early years, 2007-2011 and see how well they are doing nowadays! So happy we get such good figures
ML Spidey is good enough for most of the collectors who don't wanna spend too much ...
Exactly!
When the price goes up demand for product falls and when price goes down, demand for product rise.
..Not anymore!
@@nottoofastML is like 160 and Mafex is like 260 😭
@@nottoofast My bad, I mean’t 400!
I’d be down for a ML Deluxe Spider-Man with a ton of accessories, and more alternate heads.
Imagine an Alex Ross inspired version 🔥
Angelo Roque I was bummed Hasbro didn’t follow up their Alex Ross Avengers with an Alex Ross Spidey
I couldn’t wait for Hasbro anymore so I just made a custom one
An updated deluxe superior spider-man would be nice
The Emissary From Hell Supaidaman should be next.
Man I miss Spidey figures of Hasbro that has extra hands and alt. head. I was wondering why Hasbro couldn’t even do that anymore.
Articulation: Mafex but the gap is closing.
Scale: ML
Accesories: Mafex by far
Color and look: ML
Value/Price: ML
Quality feel: Mafex by not too much
Customizability: ML by far
What Hasbro need to do:
Pinless articulation
Feet articulation
Get back to the head hinge system
Deluxe treatment: webs, hands, heads, effects.
Nah the double ball peg is way better than the hinged ball peg for the head. They just need to do it right
“Colour and look: ML” LOL
Well they hit most of that now 🔥
Then they'll be charging the same as Mafex if they do all that. 😂
@@contrary They only need keep improving the neck system and will be perfect, but the Renew your vows one iscpretty close to it.
I'm out here staring at that urban legends in the background while he's talking about these two saying "yeah that's the best one."
Aside from some paint issues and the hands that was in the running as best in my book.
I’ll always remember the Urban Legends Spidey for being the only Toybiz Marvel Legends Spidey to have accurate stats on the box 😌
he's better than the McFarlane spidey and idk why people thought he was the best
slit fidget spinner dab bod mod same! I’ll never understand why people fell in love with him. He always felt way too skinny to even stand
Starkman87 And he’s not even McFarlane! It’s early J Scott Campbell. Weird how that goes lol
It’s shows how far Hasbro have come that a $20 Marvel Legends comes close to an import figure nearly four times the price, I’ve got both and I’m Seriously impressed with the Marvel Legends Retro Spider-Man, I loved the Mafex Spider-Man upon its release but I just prefer the Marvel Legends retro Spideman, there’s just something about the figure that resonates with me
RLee Roberts oh yeah 100%, it’s just my opinion, but I do think this Marvel Legends is doing a seriously good job
Fachri Putra Ramdhan subjective meets your opinion is included in it. So with these 2 figures, it’s very subjective with which you choose as they’re both very good.
My only complain on ML Retro is that he doesn't have that many accessories, I wish he have a wall crawling hands, Peter Parker head, webs. Overall it's great.
@@peterbenjaminparker8572 I know but it makes the figure expensive
I like the Hasbro Spidey better for clear black webbings. I could barely see the webbings on the mafex one.
I think if the shoulders were higher on the retro spidey, it wouldnt look so wonkey. im prob gonna mod mine when i get it
how would you go about making the shoulders higher?
@@3214simon what i normally do (at least with the normal sunfire body) is drill a little hole directly about the hole that the arms normally go into. Then, it has a higher place to sit in, and it doesnt droop so much.
I feel like they should’ve given him Shang Chi’s arms. Shoulders are bigger and the elbows have more range.
@@j.6455 100% agreee, those shang chi shoulders should be the new standard
Shoulders on marvel legends haven been really frustrating, they put them too damn low. It makes the characters look weak. A strong guy has big broad shoulders. Anthony’s customs did a photo shop of the new retro Spidey with the shoulders higher and holy crap it was amazing. Legends are still a good product for the price point but I’d like to see Hasbro introduce a premium price point and compete with the imports on a more even ground.
But we all know on the inside the egg attack one is the best😏
If this was a royal rumble type of video, Egg Attack might have taken it 😂😂😂
The Spider-Man with the biggest brain ever. His head is practically a ballon because his brain is so big.
i cant tell if youre joking or not because the egg attack one is actually a pretty good figure.
Thought these vids died...
So glad there's another one.
Will u do an Iron man figure collection comparison?
Idk why Hasbro doesn’t just paint the pegs.
Yea but atleast it's easy to paint yourself
@@Guy117. It's kinda hard to find the exact colors.
How would you feel to be the guy/girl to paint little dots on 100's or 1000's of figures for HOURS of each day of your life?
@@OG.Trippster you say that like an application signature and payment ISNT on their mind BEFORE HAND
@@DigitalRag3X In all seriousness....... I don't really care
There is only one way to find out.....
STOP MOTION FIGHT
Both Spider-Man turn around and look at each other. Fight begins with this music playing in the background
ua-cam.com/video/CvVH9WFu-1M/v-deo.html
@Thereviewersblock perfect
WorldSchool Mosaic And then at the end both Spideys clash into each other with the perfect Rasengan and Chidori moment
Yes.
I feel like one day they going to make a Spider-Man with penniless technology and it going to be the symbiote suit
That would definitely be the best black suit Spider-Man figure
@@corywastaken3664 yep😀
But that one doesn’t need it... there is no different color on the inside of the arm.
@@alvarogarcia4735 yeh you are right but the pinless technology also makes the joints less flimsy
mafex miles is the adult miles, so he's suppose to actually be taller than Peter.
I personally feel like he shouldn’t be that much taller than him even if he is supposed to be an adult, also I think he knows he did do a review on him after all
Replacement Username good point there but by comic bio on their height the teenage miles is only 2 inches shorter than adult Peter. I would imagine adult Miles from the Gwen pool comic be taller. Anyway, it’s all just personal preference lol also I think the perception of they should be around the same height comes from Hasbro being cheap and has always used the same body for everything.
And the Venom is designed after his early appearances so he's not supposed to be huge.
@@gamehypothesis1823 looks like UU put Miles closer to the camera. I have both of the figures and while Miles’ shoulders sit higher than Peter’s they’re still both pretty much exactly the same height to the top of the head if you push their pins all the way down.
Oof
It's the price and head sculpt for me. I don't like the giant eyes, I'm more partial to the romita and ditko, ross style of spiderman. And for the price I could buy 4 compared to the mafex, I will be getting the brown suit wolverine mafex I think that figure is worth the price of admission. But great review of both figures. Outstanding!
Miles is the adult version of miles from a few gwenpool comics that's why he's taller than mafex Spider-Man
True
That Mohammad Ali pose at the end tho
The problem about mafex is it’s to expensive
now also Hasbro ...
I didn't think I would want another Spiderman figure but Retro Spidey definitely looks like a lot of fun. ML has come a long way and I am very impressed with what they are doing with the line. Mafex is still No 1 for me, but I think Retro Spidey would be a figure I would just have on my desk, pose around and not have to worry about being too careful with joints breaking or something.
I'm probably the only one, but ML are imports for me here in Japan. 40-50 for a popular character like this, and that's if I can even find one compared to 70 for Mafex which I can just run down to the store and pick up.
Retro Spidey reminds me of Snap Shot Spidey which is still one of my favourite Spiderman figures.
Really enjoyed the detailed review mate!
YESSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I hope it was worth the wait bro!
Me to
A re-release of the Legends would be awesome - they could fix the neck joint/do away with the cut in back of neck, cover joint pins, include wall crawling hands, weblines or even a Spider-sense effect
You and D amazing are my favorite UA-camrs.
Dope man! Thank you!
The only Spiderman ML figure in my collection is the Andrew Garfield TASM 2 one, and it's enough for me. Happy with it.
Yeah that was the one I had in my collection for a while. Its a solid figure and the costume design is so close to the comics that he works just as well in a comic style display as he does in a movie display. I got a great deal on a Pizza Spidey so eventually I did upgrade but if it hadn't been for that I'd have happily stuck with the ASM2 version.
The only downside was that it had sculpted weblines and I've always preferred painted on, so I'm glad ML is going in that direction with their more recent Spidey figures.
Recently the hinge for the hand got stuck inside the wrist so now I have a handless TASM2 figure which sucks because I’ve had it for 6 years but yeah that figure is great. Unique sculpt, sculpting webbing, great articulation with the exception of his legs not spreading out. That figure is awesome and it’s been slept on because it’s a movie figure.
Here before 1 million views
Shiiit if this video hits a million, I'll shave my eyebrows!
Unparalleled Universe bet 😤😤🤝
@@UnparalleledUniverse me with. My 7 day free trial accounts
You fool
I think I'm going to have to give it to Marvel Legends, simply because of price. The Mafex one is nice but the price is a deal breaker for me.
Yo I got one question and one question only, when the mafex brown suit wolverine comes out will you compare it to the marvel legends one?
Ohhh Shiiiiit probably haha.
Yeah do brown wolverines comparison including Mezco. Wait i feel like i already saw that
Legends has shitty head articulation and while he can crunch deeper he can't do side to side or back nearly as well. Both the thigh cut and the boot cut look ugly when in use and the hands can only pivot one direction. Then there is the biggest flaw which is that you can't get him to twist to the side without making him look really bad using the upper articulation. Btw all these things and the toe articulation are important for spider-Man when doing wall crawling poses which are just as important as swinging and crouching.
If Hasbro fixes the head and manage to add a swivel under the ab crunch then it would be mostly as movable, but it would still look worse with how they do their cuts. I'm not saying it isn't worth it for the price. But if you remove the price issue then Mafex is easily and objectively better. If you don't care enough about Spider-Man to pay 80+ for one figuree or you really can't get with the color on the Mafex then the Legends one is a good pick for sure. But it's really not as close in the sculpt and articulation as you make it out.
AnthonysCustoms is getting to me. I am not a fan of this Spider-Man, or atleast not as much as I was originally. It looks decent, but it isn't the Mafex version. Mafex as moves organically, something most MLs haven't pulled off.
The Raven what they really need to do is ball pegs for the torso all around. But keep in mind that because Hasbro market these as age-4+ they need to make these figures fall within certain amount of “parts” . ball pegs vs what they are doing now will make the figure easier to take apart and becomes more “parts” and they can’t market as Age-4+ anymore
I think how fluid and organically the figure moves is a big thing that separates the 2.
@@Levi_52_336 Same. AnthonysCustoms is right. Hasbro has shown they can do better with their other lines and ML figures. And they're not giving it to Spidey. The praise from early reviews is mostly blinded by new articulation hype being touted by Hasbro. These new articulation points is "all talk, no substance".
I just realized the pose at the end lmao
All in all, marvel select will win. They will create the sexiest, most detailed, most articulated Spider-Man
A definitive, deluxe, pinless Legends Spiderman would go down in history. Here's hoping we get one.
Oh yea, the video we been waiting for!
The muscle tone is really a deal-breaker for me with the Retro Spider-Man. Yes, old school Spider-Man had more meat on his bones than modern Spider-Man, but he didn't have the muscle tonality of an athlete. The muscles of the lower torso are too marked and the upper legs look like hams. He could have been more buff than Pizza Spider-Man, but he should have kept the sleekness of his body contour.
All ML has jacked up muscle definition like they are on roids, so it’s really not surprising. The only part that it looks weird are those giant bulging thighs...
FrankW1029 I like it, it looks like his legs are flexing mid pose. I cycle about 20 miles a day on average and my thighs are genuinely that out-of-proportion as well lol
Legend has it the collecting Gods in the great Halls of collecting have been waiting for this..let battle commence.......
Mafex is still King!!! Mafex just been chilling it lately !
Grabbed mine from Target last week and also had paint rub on the shoulders. It's a great design, but it's hard to appreciate it's articulation when paint chips while moving it.
A more interesting comparison could be with the newer comic book cell shading Spider-Man from Mafex, which I have. Waiting on the Hasbro one.
They're both 2-3 different artist interpretations to me, so there is no wrong answer. I believe it comes down to which artist you prefer; Steve Ditko/John Romita (Hasbro) or Mark Bagley (Mafex).
Thanks for this comparison!!! 💯🔥🔥
Been waiting weeks for this video! So hyped!!
It's a rap battle with their respective crews in the back. In my head, it was three import/premium Spidey's psyching out Hasbro, and vice versa.
I want hasbro next year to make a deluxe tobey maguire for the 20th anniversary for that movie that comes with fists, wall crawling hands, thwipping hands, and web gripping hands. Also web effects, a half masked and unmasked alternate heads
I've been waiting for this one Wade, and damn you never disappoint dude! From an objective standpoint of engineering, paint, articulation, and accessories, the Mafex Spider-Man is undoubtedly better. But from a subjective standpoint, I'm one of those rare people who can't STAND the 90s design for Spider-Man. John Romita Sr. is the GOAT when it comes to drawing Spider-Man IMO, so the I personally prefer the Legends Spider-Man by a mile
Oh hey!!! You're the shartimusprime nipple guy, I remember you!
NotTooFast Always a pleasure to meet a fan ;)
NotTooFast Hahhahahahahahahhahahha
Ohhhhh man!!! 😍I am so excited for this Video.. Greetings Bro 🙌
still feel like the marvel legends is the best for $20 but the mafex is the best so far. but 90s is my spiderman
You are great , Unparalleled ! I've waiting for this :D
I hope it doesn't disappoint sir!
@@UnparalleledUniverse ohh yeeeeeeaaaa i love that Mafex Spider-Man !!
Awesome video , like always ;)
Spiderman is 5'10 ,160lbs. He's supposed to sport a muscular but very lean build. Mafex for the win!
11:14 How he is moving the head is hilarious, like bro has to be crying under the mask right now
Chungus1Trick or dead under the marks lol
Could you show how you fixed the paint Rub in the shoulders on the retro spider-man.
Yes!!finally the wait is over
Great review... I have both and I like them both but the look and proportions of the Mafex just makes it my favorite
The comparison vids are always awesome bruv. Good shit! I love my Mafex because I feel he's more Bagley based and can't wait For the wave to ship because this Spider-Man right here, the Romita Sr. version is the one I've been waiting for. Both show my two favorite versions from my fathers era to mine when I got into collecting.. ages ago haha.
Great comparison vid!
Romita!
Yes!!!!
Can you do a video showing how to use those metal stands - I have a pack but find it hard to place within the join ta
I love the mafex one, definitive spider man for me as it has that bagley style. I'm really curious if hasbro could try pulling something similar off unlike there previous Bagley style ultimate spider man which didn't work for me
Their ultimate spider-man didn’t even look like Bagley Spidey, resembled Stuart Immonen’s Spider-Man more tbh
😄that Muhammad Ali pose at the end 👏👏👏
I like these kind of videos, hope you do Punisher in the future. All ML Punisher vs Mezco Punisher.
I don’t have a Spider-Man 😕. I would love one.
Loved the video! Can't find Retro Spidey anywhere, though. Will have to wait for my pre-order 😐
15:30 i am so happy that he said what i said in the comments of the War Machine video (hopefully cuz ill look dumb)
Of course the Legends one is now so expensive you might as well get the Mafex. Why'd I have to want a Spidey so soon AFTER one just came out in the ML line? Such is life I suppose.
Hell yeah @Unparalled Universe, I loved this review/comparison. I need to hunt down that Retro Wave Spidey but man I love my Mafex Spider-Man but I, too, was disappointed with the blue and the lack of paint on the webs in some sections. I got into models and decided to use Gundam panel liner to fill that in and it looks SOOOOO much better in my opinion and recommend that anyone with this feeling on that detail to do it as well.
I own both the pizza spidey and the mafex spidey and I use to own McFarlane spidey, I can say whole heartedly that the mafex if the best spidey fig we've received although the price is hiked a bit too much i think a more appropriate price for such a figure would be within the 40-60 dollar range
Oh shit! You did the comparison!!! Hell yeah!!!
Feels good to be here
I would put them both in my number one spot because they’re two different types of styles of Spider-Man
Wish they had introduced the pinless joints on this ML Retro Spidey, gonna have to wait for the next ML Spidey to be the definitive one. Great comparison, bro!
Awesome!! Thanx man. I was going to get Mafex one for my birthday but i changed my mind and preordered 2 of the legneds one. Still my issue with Mafex is that i am too scared that id pay almost 100 bucks including shipping then it breaks.
The renew your vows one is gonna come out and say, ready for the rematch?
I can't afford many action figures so watching your videos and reviews make me happy. I hope one day I can buy a spiderman figure
Yo this came out at a great time i'm glad to be a little early
Awesome review!! Can you tell me where I can get information about hasbro is trying to pegless??
I was posing and playing my marvel legends retro spidey watching this :D
I’m with you on that. The Legend is an excellent figure, but the Mafex is still superior (as it should be for the price lol) but well done ML! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have both and the only thing that makes me like the ML a little more is that I don´t feel that I'm gonna break it, I'm always afraid when I use my Mafex Spidey...
Nice vídeo man!!
dude u sound hella juiced. i love ur enthusiasm.
Awesome Spider-Man figures
All we need now is a Mafex Green Goblin... I hope they make one!
or Emo Parker
Mafex spidey: The King
Retro spidey: The budget King
the ML one isn't bad like you said, but Hasbro needs to do way more to catch up in engineering. i.e. peg-less, go with ball-peg in the upper and lower torso, hide those ugly thigh and boot swivel (because when those rotates they are fugly). other than joints being peg-less they also need to smooth out the joints instead of giving them those notches that gets weaker overtime. AND most importantly, new molds for each characters which we all know that's not going to happen. import figures cost more also because they are willing to spend the money on new molds to make a new figure even if it's just a costume change. i.e. brown costume Wolverine is getting new torso, new claw piece, new head sculpts, new shoulder.
Yeah but if a line like ML has the widest variety of comic characters which people want to buy a lot of to collect, they can't make it as expensive as an import figure. Unfortunately sacrificing the quality in the process but it's alright tbh. Plus the price range isn't too bad for most ML figures
@@liltaco4119 valid point, but sure they can. they don't need to take the figure up to $50-60 SHF range or $70-80 MAFEX range, but they can easily do $25-30 that gives you more accessories, unique sculpt, better paint, and better execution in the joints. i.e. movie Cable, Hugh Jackman, etc. that recently came out. take a look at ZD Toys MK3, MK2, and the MK4 that just announced. These are $25-30 figures officially licensed figures also. If a smaller Chinese based company that can offer these type of paint and accessories and packaging, Hasbro certainly can.
@@FrankW1029 yeah i guess so
0:20 HAHA MADE MY DAY BROTHER!!!✊👍
Had to get it in there before I forgot hahahaha.
@@UnparalleledUniverse Thought you forgot about me in the stream!, your a g man!🙌
Its a tie, both are awesome! One is classic Spidey & the other is the Mcfarlane era, both are a must have for a hardcore Spidey fan! Good luck getting the Mafex one now!
I have 3 of the Mafex Spider-Man figures, and I really like them a lot. I haven't managed to get my hands on one of new Hasbro Vintage Spideys yet, so I can't really judge which one I think is the best. But from the videos I've seen I am not liking the head articulation set-up on the Hasbro fig. I also don't like the visible pegs (especially the red dots on the inside of his elbows). I am also a big fan of the classic Bronze-Age Spider-Man, but I still feel that the Mafex figure looks better over all. So, I have to agree with your final assessment.
We need an updated version w how ML has been doing. I really need to see if that amazing fantasy Holds up w Mafex
Update coming soon!
uhh did you have a cut on your hand when you recorded this?
"Heyyyy] what's up [you guys]" haha. Nah great review man. So looking forward to getting a couple copies of this crazy good Spidey
Mafex is most like Mark Bagley's art BTW
Finally a spiderman worth picking up..
Are you going to get the Mafex carnage? Looks awesome!
Like you said ... at this point I’d go for the Legends since I don’t have the Mafex one ... so you nailed there for me
🤘🏻
I'm happy with the Marvel Legends Spider-Man. He goes perfect with my collection of retro heroes.
Awesome!!!
Would you prefer the normal color versus the cellshaded for the Mafex Spiderman?
Great👍👍👍
Thanks for making this.
Been been wanting to see this since Retro Spidey came out.
Marvel Legends is getting closer, with the sculpted eyes.
If they can do the Big Eyes RIGHT, I may put him above Mafex, price as one big factor..
Mafex Miles morales is supposed to be his Adult version like from the Gwenpool comic. Miles becomes taller than Peter.
I don't have any Mafex till the gambit arrives, but the spidey has always been on my to get list, I have the retro spidey on the way and I plan to customize him a bit, I also really like the idea you had to improve the waist on the mafex spiderman, I love mods, great review bro SUPER helpful
It’s ML Spidey for me based on price, the head sculpt, the paint colour and body lines. It does what I need it to do posing wise and I’m able to get most of the wave at the same price point. The packaging is amazing too.
Is the marvel legends retro wave out already in stores
Can you do a best Venom comparison video?
best 6 inch movie spiderman figures next please
