Mafex Classic Invincible Iron Man Review: Another BANGER from Medicom! 

BAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAFEX is slowly replacing all the Marvel Legends in my X-Men display. I think they may start doing the same for my Avengers. They love to do repaints, I'd want MAFEX to re-do this one in gold instead of yellow, like the 80th Marvel Legends.

Man, this figure would look dope with the Marvel Select Titanium Man.

I agree 100%. Nobody touching Mafex when it comes to Marvel/DC comics figures. GOATED!!!

Love these MAFEX comic book figures, now they need to do an Incredible Hulk.

What I really love about this design is that widow's peak is so freakin' sharp. Something hasbro couldn't do with the plastic they use. And I love how the default face plate doesn't have the eyes tilted down so much, so it really captures that quintessential iconic look. I know a lot of ppl aren't a fan of seeing the eyes, but I love that feature. The only things I'm not a fan of is the little nubbins on the chest aren't painted/don't have that effect like the arc reactor. And how the helmet is too small to house Tony's head...even though it doesn't really look off when looking at the whole package.

I loved the roller skates thing - I was like 'no way! Awesome!' out loud haha But not convicted I rather have the Marvel Legends one. The side disks (in the comics they are batteries) are too big, the feet are a tad bit too small and as anyone knows the proton cannon doesn't go with that armor. For that price tag I could get the Marvel Legends classic armor (which is better in my opinion) AND the Modular armor WITH the cannon - and possibly buy another armor second hand. So nah... the Mafex X-Men are indeed awesome but this Iron Man doesn't go the extra mile to justify the price tag...

Gotta agree with you man I've got both flavors of Hush Batman.....I love those guys they are freekin' amazing dude and I've heard a lot of people bitch about how much cape they have but I love that thing it pretty much poses itself and some of the shots I've gotten of those figures are awesome....the Ironman figure looks great too and the plasma cannon is hittin' me the old nostalgia button for sure

I love Mafex really hard but I find unless they come with a soft goods, they ain’t always worth the price of admission. I loved the symbiote spidey but at 155$cad to get to the door I expected the only painted portions to be immaculate and they weren’t even close. The white spider legs are painted terribly. Thankfully I was capable of selling it off.

Man I wish I picked this up. It has a nice shine to it while having some shading to bring out the sculpt. I do agree the Canon wasn't necessary. Toss that out and throw in the horned helmet and this is the end all be all for this armor. I hope they tackle other armors: Extremis, Bleeding Edge, Model Prime, etc.

Kinda crazy this keeps being referred to as a classic old school Iron Man, cause I just see it as regular Iron Man lol. I'd say that has a lot to do with pretty much dropping out of comics 22 years ago, but this was the Iron Man I grew up with in the '80s and into the '90s. I vividly remember having the Secret Wars figure. Where all those figures used the same smooth generic bodies lol. Objectively not as cool as the Super Powers line, but I love them all the same. I'm kinda envious of you, since you have more nostalgia for the more modern looks like the cartoon in the '90s. I definitely remember the marvel hour, but I pretty much just watched X-Men and Spider-Man. Crazy how old man Robo who's only a few years older than me didn't even watch them. Boy he missed out.

Excellent review brother. The b-roll is a great addition to your vids. Gives them a premium vibe. You have me sold on this one.

Awesome review as always brother

Yet another superb review, Purple Bear! :p I enjoyed the close ups while you were describing something with the box, keep those up! Hey I just want to clarify when you made a joke during the live about being "naturally beautiful", I was laughing with you. I don't like laughing *at* people.

Dangit, you may have just sold me on this.

Love mine but unlike yours, mine had super tight thigh joints so I had to add silicone shock oil. Since then it’s been a blast.

Need a shield without peg holes for my 20th anniversary cap.. ideas?

The head popping is almost like an action feature.

I think for the comparison you should consider 2,3 versions of ml as a combination that way price would be little similar and the accessories too

his head poppin off is his action feature! but for real I sometimes have a hard time pulling the neck of the figures off to change it out so that would actually help me out

Solid as hell! I had to skip it but black suit Spidey should be here soon. Great review as always!

If there hadn't been like 5 perfect ish ironman from hasbro, i would've been reaaaaaly tempted to buy this one. So cool! Still warming the shelf in my local store waiting for me 😅

Mafex are kings of marvel comic figures because they are the only company that is allowed to make them besides Hasbro at $25

Good figure, if slightly overpriced due to the Cannons inclusion.

passing on this was a mistake

Honestly wish they left the cannon out to knock down the price. It has no business being paired with this figure and is just going to take up space in the bin.

Can you do a three way verses between the 80years ironman mezco and mafex

it mafex was to release a modular iron man, they could do one version with the cannon and one that doesn’t so you get to choose

I sold off the proton cannon with the ML modular IM for $95 so basically paid just $15 for this figure. 😁

This is the invincible IM version that didn't have the horned helmet.

I really wish Thor and Cap would've gone up for pre-order by now. Damn I really want those two ASAP. I have a bit of QC with my Iron Man, but I'm not sure if it warrants contacting AmiAmi. The black pink lines on one of the arms is inconsistent and is smeared off on the arm a bit. Trying to see if that's an acceptable issue, or if I need to try and get another...cause damn they killed it yet again.

I think he was overpriced because of the proton cannon so I sold that and now he’s perfect. Only thing that could improve him is some varied blast effects and a drunk head sculpt

It's so weird they included the Proton Cannon for an armor he didn't use with it. Fingers crossed they make a proper Modular Armor and include the Cannon again.

My Iron Man left arm butterfly is so loose it just flops around. It was loose at first but not bad kinda like yours left leg.

11:57 useful for recreating that comic scene where he blast straight into the earth’s core to see what’s in it

Shoulder joint head pop thing is just an added play feature. JK. Great video

I think the engineering flaw is actually a plus because because of it, you can easily pop the helmeted neck off for the umasked neck.

Hey where did you buy this figure from ?? Thanks

I'm still on the fence on this figure. It would be neat if Mafex did like their Spider-Man and released it with a different paintjob (and honestly, also without the proton cannon). I think I would definitely buy it if the color scheme was more striking, something like candy apple red with canary yellow, like the Iron Man / Maria Hill 2-pack from 2009.

Without a doubt I need a version like the spider-man rerelease with no cannon and no extra head for a much cheaper price.

Dope review amigo 🔥🔥🔪🔪

I believe the proton cannon is letting us know that Modular IM is next. We all know Mafex packs accessories for different figures with other figures. Just like the kryptonite ring hand for the blue suit Hush Batman came with the black suit Hush Batman.

Cool

Nice figure

Did gambit dethrone spider man as your favorite mafex figure

I hate this figure because I was so excited for it but it’s shoulders instantly snapped off and I contacted mafex and they said they wouldn’t replace it so I bought another and the shoulders snapped again and they still didn’t replace it

He kinda looks like burt Reynolds.

watermelon and beef jerky

I didn’t buy this one because I hope they make the modular iron man. Also because it doesn’t really fit in with MvC display I’m doing. I’ve seen few ppl balance him with the cannon, you’ll have to super lean him the opposite direction in a pose.

my only complaint is the candy colors, they should done a metalic or at least matte paint....they did shiny metalic on spider-man for no reason

If only it was metalic red and metalic gold...

I think this is the first time I prefer the Marvel Legends one, better accessories, and the mafex iron man looks a little thin. Legends did a better proton cannon to boot.

Figure is dope as a classic iron man, only wtf part is why the f$ck they add a proton cannon to the classic costum when that's not where he used it?? Wrong armor for the proton canon

Its not an oversight. It’s called head poppin action

I love what Mafex has been putting out as of late but come on, over a hundred bucks for that? If feels like they refuse to sell a figure under that price range, so they just added the canon accessory to jack it up. Seeing it compared to the Hasbro Iron Man (A.I.) figure really shows that there's not that much of a difference between the two, yet one costs 7 times the price. Great review!

As much as I love this one, I agree about the proton cannon. It's way more fiddly than I prefer and if Mafex for some reason asked my opinion, I'd have said "nah, toss the cannon and either drop the price $20 or add in an extra headsculpt and another effect piece!"

Why not just tighten the screws on the stand a little bit

DOPE!!! 🔥🔥🔥 🔪 🔪🔪

Wade your armpit hair isn't long enough and it's dyed blonde for some reason

I can't stand how scrawny he looks. He does not look like a dude in armour at all. Also that proton cannon display option is ugly. But that paint job is gorgeous, it's a real dilemma in that regard

Am I the only one who gets hitler vibes from that unmasked head ? Lol 😂 the 80th legends one looks wayyyy better

It's great, as is usually the case with Mafex Marvel figures, but IMO too skinny/small and expensive for what it is. The ML versions get the job done for less money. I feel like Mafex and Bandai always forget that it's a guy inside an armored suit; he shouldn't be proportioned the same as characters in tights. MLs are just naturally "beefier" so it works well with them.

Am I the only one that remembers how bad cyclops was 😑 I would have personally rathered the yellow to be more of a satin or matte color, the glossy yellow just looks cheap to me the proton cannon is included just to higher the price and make it harder for people who don't want to spend $150 on a 1/12 figure, I mean mezco justified they're price with how much accessories they included with wolverine but this 😑 I don't think we need a comparison, mezco has it's own style so you either like it more than the original designs or hate it so that conversations out, and between mafex and legends it depends you wanna spend more for more or not, and that check's out Is it just me or does this guy have better torso articulation than mafex spiderman 😑

Hey, hi Mate! In my opinion the Marvel Legends has more realistic proportions...Mafex shoulders at top area bulge out a fraction too much, lower leg area could be a bit thicker, still a great figure overall...Although price wise they more expensive! Great review, Cheers!
