Great video. And a great figure to get involved in Mafex figs. Almost impossible to get hold of now for a reasonable price, but the Mafex creme de la creme is their X-Men Gambit figure. Maybe they will do a reissue. Would be a blast if you could get your hands on it for a review.
@@5POAFigureReviews I got the whole Mafex X-Men range and about 70 Mafex figs total. Psylocke is unfortunately one of their more disappointing recent releases. Odd sculpt and not good to handle.
Thanks so much! If I am going to start doing Mafex, maybe I should change my catchphrase from "Play nice and have fun" to "save money and stay safe" lol
Not really a fair fight... but at least it stayed clean.... I've been collecting retail figures for years....from company to company..line to line... It's just what I collect... Won't knock anyone for buying Imports but it's just not what I collect.... It's not even the price... because I spend thousands on Multiverse.... It's the scale... The character selection " all Batman " rings a bell... I customize so no reason to customize a $100 figure... It's just completely different collecting habits... Not really a good comparison... If that's what you like by all means....but not for me....💀
I think comparing Mcfarlane to Mafex is a little bit unfair. Different price range comes with different quality. That said I like Mcfarlane's Hush head a lot more that Mafex's. The bandages are a lot more real looking
True, though one thing I will say (as I said in the Poseability section), this comparison gave me more admiration for McFarlaneregarding their desire to emulate the engineering of import figures on a domestic mass market budget. Jumping companies to Hasbro, though, and consider the Gamerverse Miles Morales. Great texture and paint, pinless joints, two heads, six hands, and a BAF piece for $22? Definitely could compete with a Mafex. Also, I agree with you about the McFarlane Hush head. I like it better.
@@5POAFigureReviews I think that it comes down to preference. Both Mafex and SH figuarts have different quality. Not necessarily better but different. Hasbro and Mcfarlane are totally different than the two I mentioned before. Their joints are different, their paint job, even their plastic has a different quality.
Actually if ypu pop the head off on the mafex figure you can rotate the neck joint around and then put the head back on and it looks down more. So that's a win against mcfarlane if you ask me
Well, not every fight is a fair one lol but hopefully it was an entertaining and informative one ha I was surprised by how well the the Multiverse one held its own, given its limitations.
@@5POAFigureReviews Actually really like the McFarlane hush (The single release not the Two pack version). So many people are complaining about the closed jacket but he's seen multiple times like that in the book. Sure he isn't gonna do the acrobatics with the coat but when I picture Hush in my mind he's standing in the shadows looking menacing.
GREAT OBSERVATION! I have reviewed this twice now but I have not noticed. Technically, though, it is not Three Jokers. It is the removable arms from Batman Year Two. Those two have matching fins but Year Two has no sculpted detail for the edge of the glove.
Man, I've been wanting to grab that mafex hush and I agree with the majority of everyone here when I say that this is just the beginning lol I have the black version Batman Hush and I was super impressed
Hey Jason, Love your channel! Can u tell me where you got the floating shelf with the War Machine figure in your intro? I am having trouble with space and something like that would be ideal. Thanks!
I found it at Ross for $25. Unfortunately, because Ross is a close out store, I don't know how easily you will find it, but I do find a lot of good shelves at Hobby Lobby when they do 50% off sales, and also at thrift stores.
Thank you for this video. It helped me realize I hate action figures. I've been collecting for over 15 years and I only just now realized I hate buying the same character over and over because they keep making shitty figures. Never again.
I would prefer the Blue and Grey to the Black and Grey version, so I figure I can hold off until McFarlane released a Blue Hush. And since it is a lot more expensive than Hush himself, it gives me time to save up for him.
Yes. Mafex is 1:12 (6") scale, Mcfarlane is 1:10 (7") scale. As you can see though, for figure photography purposes, you can make it work with clever use of posing and forced perspective
Oh you poor thing. Mafex is a rabbit hole that can prove costly very quickly. I told myself I'd just get Gwenpool, then it was Cyclops, then the rest of their X-releases, then oh okay, lets get Spidey, Venom and Carnage too. But no DC, absolutely no DC, or movie figures... ..next thing you know, you've got the black Hush Batman, Superman and Catwoman, the MK 85 Iron Man is arriving this week, and you're even eyeing up Homelander and Butcher. Sigh.
