Who wants mafex?
👍
I love Mafex
Mafex is my favourite. I've been with them through the low points to the high, and now that they've worked the kinks out, I would rather have a fantastic execution of my favourite characters and iterations than a mediocre breadth approach from other lines.
Took me a few years to realize this.
They make the best dc figures around. Love my collection
Yes, please!
I Stan Mafex as well. My fav thus far.
Imagine if Valaverse picked up a DC license...❤
It would be glorious!!!!
I’ve been praying that Valaverse get its hands on the DC license!!
Same! Or Jada Toys.
Try and go for the DC license. I think if you get a hold of that license, it would end up being the ultimate version for DC fans, at least here in the U.S. and we won't have to look for imports.
I know the video was about the Mafex figures, but I can't stop staring at those Kenner Batman figures. The younger version of me would love reissues of those.
We did a video on them
Big Mafex fan - What I like is that they invest in an entire character library for their select lines. HUSH and Dark Knight Movie Series are great examples. Looking forward to their comic version of BANE and HOPING they develop a comic version Hulk one day.
Comic Spiderman Version 2.0 and Gambit are probably two of the best Mafex Marvel figures, and that Dark Knight Superman is absolute fire 🔥
😂 That story is hilarious, I personally wouldn’t have cared either. 👍
Marvel doesn’t have to admit it but we know they love Batman.
I git about 3-5 Mafex a year. Fantastic products! Side note, my office was overflowing with DC Multiverse when I was working on the Justice League, George Miller, Movie tie-in game. Good times! Too bad no pics to share of it. Great vid, Bobby!
I'd need multiple stages of Doomsday, starting with the "One-hand-behind-his-back" version.
Dying for a Mafex Hush Robin.
Same! Especially cos they're doing Reign of the Supermen Superboy. It'd be cool to have the core Young Justice characters in the Mafex line up.
I've put off buying MAFEX figures just because I know I shouldn't open that can. Really tempting
I just got into MAFEX last year and just got the hush Superman and Batman and those are phenomenal. Same with cyborg Superman and steel. Just mostly finished my marvel collection which was easier because ML are easily available and been looking for a way to redo my DC in the same scale (DC universe classics and dc direct is what I had but those are very dated today). MAFEX is one I keep an eye on for faves.
I'm collecting their Hush, Superman and Knightfall stuff too! But I'm also collecting their X-men!
I hope MAFEX releases a Hal Jordan Green Lantern so I can continue with my Justice League shelf, got the Superman and Batman Hush figures and they are great
Bobby I’m not sure if this is something possible in the world of collaborations, but a Valaverse Mafex collaboration would be amazing
Oh and great collection you show so far 🔥 🔥 🔥
I loved DC's Death of Superman and Knightfall story lines, too. It was so exciting waiting for the next chapter week to week.
They got me into collecting action figures once I heard about the comic Spiderman 075 was about to get a re-release.
The right scale, the articulations, the amount of accessories, cloth wired capes, the paint that they use, the overall quality…it’s everything I’ve always wanted from action figures.
Mafex makes toy collecting amazing
I really think the art toy influence from their different lines like BearBrick helped them develop the clean artstyle that they’re known for
The mafex batman 3.0 is a masterpiece.
I love the Hush Superman, It's one of my favourite figures so I'd love them to do a DoS Superman but use the Cyborg Superman as I always felt he's a little better scale wise. Surprised you haven't gone for the Dark night figures too
Mafex is my fav too
FYI, MAFEX should be pronounced with a soft 'a', as in Alpha, because MAFEX stands for Miracle Action Figure EX.
Did someone hiss and swipe at the presentation screen? I bet someone hissed lol
I've never considered Mafex because I am an articulation guy and they do not have bicep swivel. Although I do have several McFarlane figures even though comparably their legs suck. A comic/toy store I have frequented for years and spent like 1200 at has a Mafex Terminator and a Harley Quinn...you are making me consider him or her now... "I'll be back...in your next video, to comment again, see ya puddin'!" *Runs away making Arnold noises* Raagghhh arrgggghhh!!! (x
Been by their stuff for years, they have had some issues but most of the time they learn from their mistakes and fix them up, and they knock it out of the ballpark.
We defdinetly need a long halloween mafex run. Really hoping for three things from them. Reign of Superman Featured Hal Jordan near the end when they blew up coast city. Give us that GL. Tim Drake Robin was in hush, so that robin would be awesome. Jimmy Gordon. The mezco one costs an arm and a leg, the mattel and mcfarlane ones suck, give us Gordon in mafex.
Mafex is great! I hope the joints hold up overall! Go Valaverse!
Same for me! Mafex and Mezco are my favourite toy lines!
Best Bane impression ever...
16:09 Now you know how we feel waiting on Action Force
Yes please Bobby deep dives into other toylines ☺️👍
Yes!!!! I love Tim Sales style!!!!! If they do I would get 2 Batman figs lol
Mafex is the best Toy line on the market. Every time i get my hands on a Mafex I just get lost in posing it around. I was always a DC guy too, i grew up in the 2000's and that was the golden age of DC Cartoons and DC Animated movies on Cartoon Network especially. I watched Batman The Animated Series, The Batman (2004), Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans, Superman Doomsday, Justice League The New Frontier, The Batman VS Dracula, Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, Batman Mr Freeze: Sub Zero, so many classics! Not to mention the Mattel Justice League toy line and The Batman toy lines and the video games like Batman Arkham Asylum, Teen Titans, Justice League Heroes, Lego Batman, Batman Arkham City, even Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. I like Marvel, but DC will always be my personal favorite and Man of Steel is my favorite Comic Book movie of all time.
I love how you run your company, but I also love it when you talk as a Fanboy
Wondering if the wooden Superman was antique until checking the going rate. Sill a very nice piece.
Great story lol thanks for shareing your world stay bless and shout out articulated ninja he got me hooked on your line im slowly building but wow i also feel dc have better villians all time fav for me in bane and hero swamp thing or flash
For perfect Doomsdays, the Gold label or Platinum Target Exclusive McFarlane Doomsday from the 2 pack is really good. I found that the DC Universe Classics Doomsday from the old Mattel Signature Series, aesthetically, matches well with the Mafex Return of Superman figures…
Great story Bobby, and great share, love seeing another collector talking
You trip to China will be a good opportunity to stock up, avoid those import fees and grab some bargains.
Yeah Mafex is fire, but They need to work on qc still.
See this is one of the many reasons why Valaverse is absolutely killin’ it, Bobby is just as passionate of a fan as any of us and he brings that passion to everything he does! Wake up other toy companies!!!
Also Anyone remember Marmit toys? I remember when potf2 relaunched and my aunt gifted me with the marmit sandtrooper “model kit” and I still have and love it!
Great video Bobby! I’m in agreement with you on Mafex, I love their figures and it has been my favorite line the last few years. Also that Knightfall Az-Bats and Nightwing were my FOTY in back to back years.
I have The Dark Knight Returns and Hush Batman by Mafex which are by far my favorite versions of Batman. Wish Mafex would put out a Deathstroke and Talon.
I have that Mafex Azrael Knightfall Batman and he’s absolutely great, and agreed Bobby I have a nostalgic place in my heart for him
They had right to boo you. While Ben was the best thing about that movie....the Snyder movies suck.
Those figures are awesome!!
A few weeks back I bought my first Mafex. Steel. I’ve been waiting for a proper steel for years. Fantastic figure. Such quality. Then it fell off my mantle and snapped two days later. 🍾one for the homies. Easily the worst way to spend 100$.
I love mafex they don’t scale figures so great. For instance the Thor from mafex is about the same or smaller than other marvel characters. I do love mafex they have some work to do as far as figure scaling goes. This was the best video of this series.
The Superman with the black solar suit and hush Nightwing are probably my favorites.
It has always been "MAY - FEX" to me too, sounds better. I agree it's an awesome toy company. Figures are expensive so I cherry pic, but each figure I have bought from them is amazing. By the way the story of showing the image of Batman to the Marvel team was hilarious!
Mafex is dope, I only have that Azbat but I have the Batman and Bane on preorder to complete the Knightfall set
Have you ever thought about making some MECH ROBOTS for the Valervers 6 inch figures to fit in side of, man that’s something that GI.JOE from HASBRO is missing, if yo did it , I personally think that would be the hottest thing ever made for a military toy line. ….but yeah make some more videos 👍🏿🤓
He talks about Mafex but my eyes were stuck on Kenner Batman toys.
I loved how much fun Kenner had with the designs.
I want mafex
I got into Mafex to quench my desires for a really good 6" scale Batman....I got the Hush version when it was released (blue and grey) soon as it arrived I ordered the black and grey version and that opened up the flood gates Magneto...Huntress.....Gambit....I missed out Psylocke and am waiting for the reissuse the only small gripe I have is the ankle articulation on the female figures but...hey if that's the only real issue......no biggie the only other issue is getting these where I am for a reasonable price but....first world problems right?😂
Great video bobby🎉, Now I got to go find those mafex dark knight figures. They look great. After watching Its chad and tony video i got in to palitoy actionforce , now mafex , I need another job lol😂
That AzBat figure is literally ripped from the pages of Graham Nolans' work during the Knightquest run.
Mafex has pretty much consistently knocked it out of the park, perfectly translating the artwork of the comics into figure form. Can't wait for the Bane and Grey/Blue Batman.
Great collection. 7 1/2 years of collecting Mafex and 119 unique figures and counting.
Medicom Mafex DC/Marvel is GOD Tier! Easily some the BEST comic and movie figures in the game!
I just got my first Mafex figure today. I picked up Steel when BBTS had him on sale and holy crap he looks so good. Joints good be a little tighter, but they arent floppy. I now have to resist the urge to get the other 3 Supermen.
MAFEX has grown to become my go-to line for DC Comics figures. I am a Marvel guy by default, but I have a huge respect for DC lore and storytelling, especially with Batman
You got notches on my respect-o-meter by being more of a DC fan, boat load more for showing Bat-fleck ( I love Bat-fleck) on a Marvel meeting...woulda been my all-time hero if it had been a Superman-related image. Either way I just bought Steel, cyborg and PO'ed superboy and eradicator. I've been on the edge for these anyway.
Dude! A Bat motif on a night ops soldier would be killer!s
I love mafex but sort of done with movie comic universes. The detail is good but not as sharp in facial features. I only have robocop but i wish i could keep up with all of Superman versions and all of knightfall figures
FYI Medicom is the toy company. MAFEX is a toy line.
It's like calling DC multiversa toy company
I had that dark knight rises cat woman and wow, that was terrible, but I have several others I love. The recent Poison Ivy is probably my favorite.
Mafex is my go-to line for DC figures. The Icons line died right after I got into it. I was ready to go all in with McFarlane, but he switched up the torsos so that they have no movement and his scaling is all over the place.
McFarlane sucks...they can't make PINLESS figures. And it's weird how they manage their 7 inches figures. I do prefer DIAMOND SELECT
Would have been priceless to have a picture of that room when Batman popped up....😅
I've heard of Mafex but don't own any. With such high praise from Bobby, I'll have to pick up one.
Ordered my Vanguard today! Woohoo.
Maybe you'll cover the Super Powers line of action figures next?
I can’t wait for mafex comic book Bane!
Going by the Katakana [マフェックス] MAFEX is MA-FEKKU-SU or simply MAH-FEKS.
HA HA HA!
The Batman story is funny.
Imagine the response at Hasbro HQ if any employee dared show their Valaverse Action Force fandom while on the job.
Maybe Hasbro thoroughly checks their employees' social media accounts. (I'm a little curous about how Hasbro views their competition.)
lol @story. I would of died laughing hearing the boos lol.
I'm more of a Mezco, Amazing Yamaguchi dude but I give Mafex their props. The figs to me are kinda on the shinny side for me especially with their Xmen lines but still good.
They kinda dropped the ball with Huntress not including her with her crossbow. Dunno if that was their decision or a mandate from WB. Poseability could of been a bit better. Hush is cool. Not OMG greatest fig ever but when you keep seeing the same characters being released he was a breathe of fresh air to me. Poison Ivy...while I think many were STARVING to get one...came out ok. I have her posed up. Nightwing...oooo wee. Very good imo. Bats...he sold out when I found out about him. Didnt hop on the reissue as I have a Mezco to fill his spot. I also have Steel, and Catwoman. Catwoman...meeeooow. Great fig.
Upcoming is Scarecrow and I believe Superboy from Reign of Superman.
Thanks for vid!
Would be cool to see you do helldivers figures
I real want them to tackle the Morrison era of Justice League and more than anything a 90s Kyle Rayner Green Lantern.
In Japanese English vowels only make one sound. A is Ah. Do with that what you will.
MAY-FEX sounds better lol
@GameTime-yj6qv but it's incorrect. Same with Manga. Its not "MAIN GA" it's more like mahn-ga.
But people butcher words in languages they don't speak all the time, so... 🤷
I have the Mafex Knightfall Batman (Azrael). I have almost every Azrael figure (Kenner, DC Direct, Mattel, McFarlane, etc...). I hope Mafex does a Knightquest Batman.
I also love Batfleck and the Snyderverse. Zack Snyder's Justice League is one of my favorite movies.
If I had more money, I'd have bought Mafex Ben Reilly (Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider), Age of Apocalypse Magneto, and Return of Superman Eradicator. I love the 90s replacement heroes. That was when I got into comics.
I recently switched from McFarlane to Mafex for my Batman, Joker and Harley Quinn. I'd like to get a Catwoman, but I kinda want to hold off and see if they do her purple suit from Knightfall 🦇😻
big dc fan here how did i not know about this channel....
I hope one day Mafex taps into Batman Forever, I would love it if they made a figure of the black suit Batman and the sonar one because why not lol. And a robin fig would dope too!
Imo, Bobby you need to take on dc multiverse instead of mcfarlane because he is doing wrong scaling besides figures
Can’t be combined with the previous dcuc i love valaverse and what u did at hasbro but you need to get dc comics license you would kick ass
Would love the DC License
not only that but his character selection is whack. We have so many versions of batman that just warms in the pegs, but desirable characters like wonderwoman are extremely stupid to acquire especially if you arent from the US.
fr tho mcfarlane dc sucks as fuck
Speaking of 90s storylines, I'd like to see them do a line from The Return of Barry Allen, my personal favorite from that decade (Toddler's Reverse Flash is garbage). Don't know how I'd afford it, but would love to see it. Also wish they'd include the Krypton Man (both versions) as a bonus in Return of Supermen. Cool-looking character, and I don't think anyone's ever done it.
I am a big DC fan as well. I don't hate Marvel but my first comic book was Batman.
I personally think it's a crime to not have trunks on super heroes who started out with them. Why I'm so mad at the new legends cyclops. They gave wolverine trunks by sculpting them on his legs, but he got a thong. Lol
4:10...that's the mentality of all the Hasbros
What's crazy is, I read your comment right at 4:10 🤣
I can honestly say i dont own a single mafex. I might get that new john wick... he'd look badass driving the ramen racer.
Wish this was announcing you got the license to make 6" DC figures. It kills me McFarlane won't make something that scales with Legends, so it'd be nice if DC got someone that would.
Collect what you like, screw Disney’s Marvel.
🦇
A huge enough DC fan , that Valaverse HQ runs on batteries ?? 😮
Have you made a figure with your face on it yet?
I'm going to let everyone on a little secret, no one at Marvel hates Batman or DC. Most of the people that work there are/were fans of DC characters and a lot either worked for DC or would if the circumstances were right. The same would apply to DC staff.
I can certainly appreciate the Mafex figures but I don’t have the space for another line. I just buy all the McFarlane DC figs I like for my son.
My collection consists of D&D figs, Mythic Legions, Classified and of course Action Force.
The reason why I personally hate modern Marvel figure (or Disney generally) is they keep sells character that nobody want. For Marvel legends example, bunch of American Chavez and Eternals figure lying untouched for years waiting for dumpster. The first mistake for retailers is bought bulk of unpopular figures nobody wants it. Meanwhile Bandai with SHF only sells limited amount figures that everyone wants and you can only buy it at Hobby Shop. I love DC figures, especially collecting the spinmaster blind pack. Even though it's small figure and cheaper, but the detail is great.
Snyder’s movies suck lol
You suck
Sounds a bit petty from Marvel lol
Go play with your toys like a grown adult😂
