Mafex X-Men Jean Grey Review!!! JEEEEAN!!!!!!!!! NO!!! (She’s Pretty Awesome) 

Agreed. Would have made it the absolutely ultimate Jean Grey figure in 1:12 scale. As it is, though, it is my definitive Jean Grey figure. I regret not pre-ordering this but I was able to find a good deal on one today!

It’s going to take them 20 years to complete any team haha but man, good call on Archangel! I would love that!

@@UnparalleledUniverse Since Mafex have made the winged gold Wonder Woman, so Archangel is possible. But my dream Mafex fig would be a Jim Lee/Fox Cartoon/Capcom Apocalypse, with swappable weapon arm attachments. Their Hush Bane shows they can do larger moulds and their Iron Man MK85 shows they can pack it with accessories. So why not make the most powerful mutant ever?

@@cookedit Good call. Sure it would be like $140, but it would be the absolute definitive Apocalypse. That's what I like from this company...you only have to buy it once. Having said that, now they're making the Spider-Man we wanted to begin with, with none of that metallic look. I reeeally don't like that with them taking a page from Hasbro's playbook. Well, they did that with AoA Magneto too. So like 85% of the figures they do are one-and-done's.

@@cookedit I'm good with the Hasbro Colossus and Archangel (since the last one has metallic wings and fists), but I'd totally buy Mafex versions. We need a classic (Chris Claremont) Nightcrawler with the jheri curl; and most of all, a non-undersized Sabretooth with a big ass sculpted mane. The Select's are amazing, but they're basically statues. So the nitpicky articulation snobs can't really do anything with them. And all of that snobbery is rubbing off on me.

@@Chalor. Yeah, but that business model of releasing alternate outfits or colour variations using the same mould keeps them in the business if making more figs. I can't lie, I love my AOA Magneto and look forward to the more classic one. Same way I cannot wait for my symbiote Spidey due this month, even when it uses an old mould.

I'm also waiting for Rogue, I'll gladly shell out the $100 price tag or whatever.

Oh yeah good call that would have been dope

Agreed. The white costume is in the animated series.

Depends, the Mafex Venom is based on his first appearance look/earlier looks where he isn't this hulk looking monster

@@diegolaradiaz8948 But Venom should have been a little taller, he is almost the same height as the Mafex Spidey. Mafex have shown a comic Bane made from a larger unique mould so I am sure they can do a Sabretooth that looks good.

Creed is 6'6, not 7'6. No need to make him Hulk sized. Artistic liberties have ruined this character.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that these are actually as inspired by their MvC iterations as they are their comic counterparts. Notice for every X-men that has appeared in one, they make sure to include a pose or two from the games. Even more noticeable with the upcoming Magneto, who has an effect piece that is from the Marvel Superheroes arcade intro.

Those are “iight” at best. They don’t suck or anything but they leave a lot to be desired, so much so that…..I didn’t even buy them haha And I’m a fan of Diamond

@@UnparalleledUniverse Man, I really wanna know your issues are with all of 'em. The '90s one looks like it jumped out of Jim Lee's sketch pad/a really good Capcom iteration. The OG version looks like...I don't know, with the wild hair I can't place the artist. Then the zombie one is badass, even though the articulated mouth makes it look a bit like a ventriloquist dummy. And they're all beasts, towering over Logan as they should. Other than preferring the Jim Lee one to have a bigger mane, I can't think of one complaint about the sculpts. And yeah, like you mentioned, you're one of the handful out there that really like Marvel Select's. I just can't figure it out, unless it totally comes down to not being able to pose them like you want. If I had money like that, I'd buy you at least one....so you could not have your views changed in the slightest lol.

I thought the leg things were the wrong color but I looked up some art and there were several times that they were blue. They are definitely usually orange/yellow though

Thanks homie!

Definitely the best Jean out there!

mine is coming today, so very happy about that :)

@@ulics right on!

Nice! No problem, thanks for the watching!

Jean was breaking hearts out here!

I agree! For the price they need to do better. In Jeans case, it doesn’t ruin the figure or make me wish I didn’t buy it but yeah it needs to be better.

@@UnparalleledUniverse Agreed. I still think it's the best Jean figure we've gotten at this scale. I've got the Blue and Yellow Dark Knight, and it's beautiful except for the Bat logo, lol. Small thing, doesn't ruin it, and it's probably a top-5 figure for me. But it grinds my gears a bit that it's not better given what it cost me. Hoping that Hush Nightwing will be pristine.

All I did was mention it haha geez

@@UnparalleledUniverse I know, not jumping down just saying that’s all ha ha

Yeah now that Cap is revealed, a comic Hulk has to be next for the Avengers team they're working on.

Yeah but Venom was smaller bc it’s his first appearance look.

Hey hey hey Some of us come here for the dynamic hands gestures! If you don’t like it BEAT IT B! But don’t go around trying to ruin everybody else’s fun alright? 👋🏻😘

What!?! Middy Middy Bum Bum!?! I would put her a few levels above mid

@@UnparalleledUniverse yeah upper mid at best haha. Only because mafex raised the bar so expected a bit more.

The elbow is definitely similar to legends the rest is much better. I agree that Gambit and Wolverine are close to perfect

I think it’s accurate. Jean is about 5’7”. Psylocke is about 5’11”.

@@popsyturvee5112 you're not wrong, but what I'm saying is that when I got that Mafex Pyslocke, and I held it my hands, experienced the figure in 3 dimensions, it just felt tiny to me personally, I just wish it was a little bigger and more substantial

@@beanboi2392 Got it.

Man she had both those boys whipped

Dang! I hope you were able to get a refund of that broken Betsy

@@UnparalleledUniverse The crappy thing was I stupidly took 3 weeks to open it and they had no more replacements and the 10 day limit passed, so they just gave like a $20 coupon or something. She could stand around and look nice but I can't do anything with her left arm without it falling into like 4 pieces.

She looks like a teenager in the 60s haha

@@UnparalleledUniverse lol yeah I can see that too

Yeeeeeah!!! Nice!

That’s very true! Same here. But when I’m zoomed in with the camera, certain things definitely pop out.

@@UnparalleledUniverse honestly it's your job to look for it. Lol but when you pass it on your shelf you will definitely fugetaboutit.

Definitely! Haha
