  • In the span of this review I went from thinking the Medicom MAFEX Marvel Comics Spider-Man was high on the list but not the top because of some flaws to realizing that dang, this is my definitive Spidey. Sure, brighter colors would have put it over the top but this will definitely do for now.

    The sculpt and proportions on this figure is so good. I tend to not like classic comic Spider-Man figures, and I think it's because it's a hard design to pull off without it looking bland and basic. This figure just gets so much character and aesthetic across with the details. It's hard to explain, but it just looks right.

I just dropped $230 at Target for those Neca Ninja Turtles, and at first felt like a sucker, then I thought I've wanted them since Comicon and missed out, so it's totally worth it.

    Mine probably arrives next week, I'm a bit worried after watching reviews and photos of the figure. Since the photos from the Wonder Fes? Toy Fair? Can`t really remember from where are those, but yeah, since these pics I noticed the heavier paint apps on the unmasked head and the whole body and that discouraged me a bit. I still want it because the figure looks really dope when posed properly, kudos to you for these pics at the end, that's the kind of stuff that keeps my hopes up for when mine arrives.
    Thanks for the video, the detailed review and the nice pics. AmiAmi shipped my Spidey altogether with Fate's Mordred figma, so I think I'll still have something to be happy in the case I end up not liking it when in hand, lol, I hope that doesn't happen, though!

    I was waiting for your opinion! Nice review as always. IMO this is a VERY good Spider-man, but it's not great. I like the mold a lot, most of the articulation and the magnets are such a cool idea. However, besides minor gripes (torso kinda limited, it looks weird in a neutral pose, faceprint is really soft), I think the biggest one is the price & paintjob: considering you're paying 80 dollars for it, it should LOOK like a premium action figure...and frankly, it doesn't. It's clearly better than a Marvel Legends, but it is possible to mistake it from a far because of the paintjob. I wish they found a way to hide the inner-workings of the legs as well. I think it's still my favorite spider-man so far, but it had the potential to be amazing...maybe their Venom then ? (tho I love what Yamaguchi did, this Venom is so different it's worth it).

  • @SheydokGear
    @SheydokGear 6 років тому +1

    It's pretty much imposible for a Spider-Man with sculpted webbing to have all of the lines painted, this one actually does a better job compared to most of the ones I've seen.
    Now, it's true, the Revoltech one is considerably more articulated (I'd even argue that there won't be a more articulated Spidey, ever.) yet, if you want to sacrifice only a LITTLE BIT OF RANGE for a better looking Spidey with better sculpted proportions and high detail, I believe MAFEX is the way to go.
    Now, personally, I don't have a problem with it not being as "shiny" as the promo pics show, I believe it would've look wat too metalic, which is a throwback, at least for me... Considering how most Marvel lines don't have metalic-ish painting, which could make it look off on a shelf, so again *PERSONALLY* the fact that they reduced the shiness on it, actually makes me happy.
    ... Still, that unmasked head... For the love of God, that's horrible, nowhere near the promo pics.

      Oh man, you're in the Fwoosh zone, don't be nervous to throw your opinion. We all dig different things and that's totally cool. I'm actually pretty down with the darker colors now that I've sat on it for a few days, just threw me that it was so different from the advertised colors. But me being me, I'd probably buy a second one with the brighter scheme. Then another in symbiote colors. Then another in whatever look they want to give us, haha.

    • @TheFwoosh
      @TheFwoosh  6 років тому +1

      Unless you're a fan of yamaguchi-whatever nonsense. But I wouldn't liked a little more range in the torso and brighter colors, maybe a little cheaper. And before you go "You're just being nitpicky" I do really like the figure, and I think it's my main shelf Spider-Man. But there's room for improvement.

    • @Tcstewie
      @Tcstewie 6 років тому

      I really, really enjoy the yamaguchi aesthetic and range of articulation in the figures, I just always feel like I'm going to break the joints if I accidentally pull the wrong direction. I can agree that I would like the colors here to be slightly brighter, but I have seen a few of these that are not as dark as yours. Maybe it's the way they're coming out on the camera. I can't wait to get mine.

  • @soundofmetal

    How does this figure hold up joint wise? Are the joints starting to become loose after a while? I've never had a Mafex figure before and didn't know if it was worth spending $100 on a figure that will loosen over time.

    • @mathieuo3968
      @mathieuo3968 5 років тому +1

      So, let me give you my experience with Mafex so far
      I have three separate Mafex Spider-man figures. The Amazing Spider-man 1, The Amazing Spider-man 2, and the Spider-man Homecoming. Each of them have their pros and cons, but I must say. They all look BEAUTIFUL. I mean, I have my S.H. Figuarts Star Wars Ep. 3 Anakin fighting the Amazing Spider-man 1 figure. They hold their posture very well, and I haven't had any problem with any of their joints. Just be careful with the hand pegs, because they're a little smaller. I would recommend buying them through Amazon (MAKE SURE THAT THE SELLER SAYS MAFEX!!!!!) or Big Bad Toy Store. Both are very reliable websites they will not have you waste money

    I can see why you’re conflicted. It looks great and has all the articulation you’d want in a Spiderman figure, but $75-$90 is expensive and from the reviews I’ve seen so far, there seems to be issues that shouldn’t be in a figure that’s almost $100. Like the loose hands you mentioned. The unmasked head doesn’t look that great and the detail is pretty fuzzy for the face. I’ve also heard of other loose joints like the torso and shoulders as well as the shoulders popping off, and missing paint wash for the webbings. If I’m paying $75-$90 on a figure, I expect the quality control to be top notch or at least with no minor issues that really shouldn’t be there. So yeah it looks good but I’m not sure it it’s “$80 good”.

    The main thing I dislike about this figure is the hands, they are just not comic book.. they are just re-sculpted from mafex's previous Spider-man release, which seems a little cheap to me, same with the mask accessory, that's why it's too small, it's just the re-sculpt from the amazing spider-man 2 mafex figure. Mafex definitely cheeped out on us here.. That being said; I love this overall, the 90's style head sculpt's and the overall design hits me right in the geek spot. As for the hands I plan to replace them with the amazing yamaguci spider-man hands, which is what mafex should of given us. I've seen someone online already try this and it looks ten times better than the original hands. This figure Is way overpriced in my opinion, but I am not gonna miss out on it, who knows when we'll get another comic spider- man?..
