While the MAFEX figure is worth it, I really wish it didn't come with the Proton Cannon since it's anachronistic to the Classic Armor and it would have kept the price tag down by 15 bucks or so (plus the Marvel Legends version is more accurate to MvC even if it doesn't look as shiny, and it was appropriately packed with a Modular Iron Man). Definitely also hoping they do a reissue with metallic colors. The Marvel Legends has a lot of merits, especially for its price point. It's a nice figure to keep as a desk buddy and fiddle around with, while the MAFEX stays a display piece. Kinda like a stunt double vs. leading actor situation.
Yeah this competition wasn't even close. That Mafex one absolutely destroys in every possible way- and then when you add the extra middle finger of the fact that the Secret Wars one does not come with the James Rhoades head it's a complete wash. What Hasbro should have done is made the Iron Man armor after Reed Richards added the backpack to it when they had to blast out of the side of the mountain the molecule man dropped on them. That would have been incredible because that version has never been done before. And it would have given them a great way to differentiate it from the other versions they've already released. And of course it should definitely have come with the James Rhodes head. But I'd rather pay more for the Mafex one which I did and I absolutely love it. Plus I love the fact that he's smaller. Tony Stark is 5'9 not 6'2. And no because you put armor on does not automatically make your legs longer. This is why I hate what hot toys is doing scaling everything up. How the hell is it that Robert Downey Jr puts on arm and all of a sudden even though he's 5'9 he's looking eye to eye with Chris Evans who's 6'2? Does he have on kiss boots? It's ridiculous.
This 'new' ML Iron Man just looks so basic and candy-colored, pinless joints and roller skates just can't entice me when I'm still perfectly happy with my Mk70. But speaking of super-expensive Iron Man figs, any plans to buy and review the Mezco Silver Centurion?
I wish the secret wars Ironman came with a rhodey head
I was just going to say the same thing!
I mean, yeah, the figure that costs 5 times the price beats the one that costs 25 bucks, whodathunk?
This is what I'm saying 😭
It’s more like 3 times the price.
@@coreyrobinson7585 with Shipping from Plaza Japan, its about $108 (on sale from about 115-120 with shipping)
@@coreyrobinson7585 still, a lot of people can't afford that price tag
@@coreyrobinson7585 his point still stands
Nice review as always Jason! Hopefully, you could do a new versus with the new Legends Black suit against the Mafex!
Maybe even include a few more versions...
Yeah! I want to see a head swap of the Retro Card ML Symbiote Spider-Man on the new Secret Wars Symbiote Spider-Man body!

Agreed! I wish they had saved the Cannon for a Modular Armor Iron Man
1:10 teddy bear catching strays 😭😭😭
13:10 When are you going to review that figure? I'd love to see your thoughts on it! Great video BTW.
Lucky you got your ML Secret Wars iron Man before me lol

Another definitive Marvel character from Mafex on the books. Slowly but surely replacing all my Hasbro legends with Medicom Mafex total awesomeness!!!
If that Mafex Tony Stark was smiling he'd be a perfect John Astin Gomez Addams
good review, don't know that much about secret wars. My first contact with Iron Man was the MCU
I too think the MAFEX is somewhat better, it is amazing how these Marvel Legends and MAFEX figures look, like the jumped straight off the comic page.
So.. I'm confused why you didn't bring up the stand holes on the hasbro iron man? They both have them, but you only brought them up on the mafex.
You know im from NJ and these drones are kinda scaring me 😮😮 a job for Batman 😂, I know wrong video, rigamarole done ✅
I'd love to have a Modular Iron Man made by MAFEX since that's in my Top 5 comic armors of all time
Same, and I am saving everything from the Retro Card Marvel Legends set just in case
80 Years Tony - Timothy Dalton.
20th Anniversary - Charles Bronson. Maybe even Burt Reynolds.
Mafex Tony - ??? Who do you think it looks like?
He looks like a famous Austrian artist 👀
@akise0_o I actually figured it out. I think it looks like a young mustachioed Hal Holbrook.
Awww teddy bear 🧸 divorce lolz 😅
That proton cannon makes the mafex so tempting to buy…
13:22 dose this mean that stealth iron man could get REPLACED if he dose I will cry

It was rigged
The marvel legend looks much better
