Mafex has become my source for definitive representations of so many characters. Probably because of the era they're representing (the Jim Lee "Hush" line for DC and the 90s-style Spider-Men and X-Men). The only...tiny...itty-bitty change I want for these Spider-folks is for Mafex to paint the web line rings that go around the wrists the same color as the wrists. So for this version, I'll be painting the ring black so it looks like the white webbing is coming from his wrist (or top of his hand, depending on the version of this costume you're going for). It'd be great if Mafex took care of that for us.

@spoodurmin9742 Год назад

Then it wouldn’t be as modular. I wouldn’t be able to use Ben Reilly’s webs with Parker’s

@onemangang8879 Год назад

@@spoodurmin9742 True. But I’d still prefer it. If you’re OK with the white bracelet showing on any figure that’s a preference. But if you’re hiding the bracelet in photography already, having a color-aligned version would open up more poses (or at least reduce Photoshop work).

@bandotzzZ Год назад

today the audience of Jim Lee era or the 90's are mature and at their prime, a golden age period in their life, whether in their career or financial power. and they gonna stay like that for at least the next 10-15 years. so mafex do the right thing, producing a figure that represents jim lee aesthetics as close as possible, even if it gonna cost more. as long as it's good, we will buy it. clever

@SwimKam Год назад

Soooo much fun enjoying your reviews! Thanks Robo. You do know!

@Fuzzy_Barbarian Год назад

The "crotch clamp" bit and un-screwed clamp are meant to be combined to give you a clamp that has crotch support. You need to remove the port that the un-screwed clamp comes attached to, which plugs into the crotch clamp. I didn't realise this for a while until I accidentally got the un-screwed clamp loose when I got Jean, but the combined crotch clamp holds up pretty well.

The alternate masked head with the angrier eyes is still artist specific, it just leans a little more into the Ron Frenz or Mike Zeck art styles of the earlier periods of the black suit before McFarlane came on board. I use that as my default head. I love this suit. It’s nice to have an alien costume Spider-Man that looks and feels so prototypical and from the exact era you think it should hail from.

@mr.funtime967 Год назад

@BrandonNielsen87 Год назад

Bro, I was thinking the exact same thing. It would’ve made some great photography.

@tomtudorweaver1078 Год назад

I imagine it might work, my only guess would be the colours wouldn't completely match, Venom seems to have a slightly greyer black colour, and the Spider-Man head may be slightly too big compared to the proportions Kraven had in the suit. That's just my guess anyway.

The second clamp (without the screw) combines with the crotch support using the hole in the center (where the screw is on the other one). Otherwise the second clamp uses the same hole to slides onto the straight rod to form a support arm for standing poses.

@tomtudorweaver1078 Год назад

That paintwork with the shading is incredible, that's how it should be done with every figure, you can notice it if you're looking for it, but it doesn't stick out like cell shading or some figures where it looks like a glowing effect or heavy spray paint. MAFEX lost me a bit when I got the Carnage figure and the left arm refused to stay on, but over time I've warmed to it more and can overlook that. Especially given how many Spider-Man villains I've been replacing in my collection lately given the newer Marvel Legends releases, every time I look at that Carnage figure I think 'nope, you're too good, you're staying there for the rest of time'.

@graefx Год назад

I love this costume and this overall mold. The original mafex is my definitive spidey for the foreseeable future. I love some of the little touches on this like the blue on the bottom of the feet. And I really don't like the retro card spidey mold. That all being said, I weirdly prefer the retro "Secret Wars" legends symbiote? I have no idea why but I think just the thicker and chunkier works for me. I go back and forth on the eyes and overall head shape. I regret not having either of these figures though. We'll see what the future holds. Though the mafex scruff head is fantastic.

@TheFwoosh Год назад

The Symbiote suit is my favorite Spider-Man suit and when the Mafex comic version came out I was wishing for this to come out and now I have it. I pre-ordered from Ami Ami and DHL got it to me in 2 days. That's about as close to "overnight it from Japan" as it gets. lol The paint work on mine is pretty good but there is but there is a spot of white missing on his ribs.

@TheFwoosh Год назад

Green Goblin and Hobgoblin are both high on my list.

@Chalor. Год назад

What's pretty crazy is that I bought two of these off AmiAmi, and both with teleportation DHL shipping was $140. So essentially I paid the $60 retail cost of each (w/no taxation without representation internet tax added), plus the $20 shipping. Or maybe the exchange rate at that moment was super sweet.

@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker Год назад

You're very lucky. For me here in Canada, AmiAmi's shipping price was nuts. Over $25 to ship, and around $30 to enter my province. :o

@Chalor. Год назад

@@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker The "entering your province/country extortion fee" thing is really disgusting. That sucks man you have to pay so much more for these when they're already pricey.

@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker Год назад

@@Chalor. Yeah, it's a shame. I feel that a lot of import collectors outside the US and Japan are kinda screwed. We have to resort to BBTS, which tends to make many of the figures extra pricey. Have you seen most of the SHF Kamen Rider stuff on there? It's insane. You can get them much cheaper on AmiAmi, but for me, the intense shipping and import fees kinda kill the point of the cheaper price. :/

@jamesbrooks5391 Год назад

The Legends symbiote Spidey WOULD be an acceptable alternative, except that I’ve had it on preorder from multiple retailers for the better part of a year. The Mafex black costume was actually released quicker!

@doclouis4236 Год назад

Interesting they went with an amalgamation of the symbiote suit and Parker in the black costume. Cause you got the symbiote goo crawling up their neck, but you don't have the black dots on top of the hands that shoot out the symbiote webbing. It would've been perfect if they included that classic '80s head. Web of Spider-Man #1 was one of the first back issues I purchased when I got into comics. Really makes me wish I got the Select version to get that rooftop base.

@erikcaro246 Год назад

I wouldn't be surprised if somebody made a custom of the classic suit with this figure's body mod

@caincha Год назад

Right very nitpicky but... they put the head with the Symbiote on the neck and no webshooting dots on the top of the hands? To me this is the cloth costume Black Cat made him during the McFarlane run - the eyes, the spider on the chest, the lack of 'organic' webshooter, even the webbing is supposed to be attached to the wrists - so yeah cool you got an alternate head but it doesn't match up. Again I know it's nitpicky but that's the same reason I didn't like the Hasbro one very much and ended up making my own which is based in the Rick Leonardi and Ron Frenz runs.

Definitivw symbiote spider-man for sure. Really don't understand why many confused this with a macfarlane rapresentation because if you read the comics thsi and the classic red and blue suit, plus ben railly, all of them represent the mark bagley spidey wothout any doubt, even the unmasked head is peter as it depicted by bagley.surely is very close also to zeck spidey or frenz spidey but this one isthe bagley one. Is also perfect the eyes detail because in the red and blue costume the eyes have the black edge and this disappear in the symbiote, givin spidey a bigger eyes all white. Also the dot on the white isnt a miss because in the comics sometimes the dots are eher and sometimes not, it depends by who draw spidey, and many times even in thesame issue the dots appear and disappear, so for me the all white patch are correct.if you have the comics you know what i mean. Anyway great review, i cant wait to have it in my hand, absolutely perfect
