MAFEX Batman v Superman: DOJ Action Figures

[paintpot]

Aliexpress sells mostly "brandless" factory surplus not bootlegs per say.

And tbh in the pics you can't tell the difference other than in the cape, hows the plastic LiBBY? I bet it's better than the real thing [emoji38]

Hell, if it's cheap I'll get a couple Supes, I'll be laughing my ass off if it turns out to be better.

In regards to figures the majority are bootlegs, though most of them are pretty good quality. Great for customs

well the supes if he shows up cant be as bad as the mafex i got which broken in the tray before i opened it
honestly other than the cape and slight paint change on the face ,i cant tell them apart ,the plastic feels solid and durable ,cant say its better than the boxed one i got as the mafex bats i got was great no problems ,unlike supes
if supes shows up loose ill be getting him to repair my mafex ,if not i might try using bats hip section

Well, I don't know what the definition for bootleg is but I do know most of these do come from the same factory complexes in which they make the real ones.

In fact, pretty much all NECA "bootlegs" aren't bootlegs at all.

Yup, I'm snagging a supes if it shows up.

But sometimes they don't, they manage to pop one figure of a series and that's it.

Well there's things like the shf iron man, movie realization and figmas on aliexpress thay are recasts, so I assumed the other things were the same. Have you guys seem the mafex joker knockoff? Looks just like the original so I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was just a defect/overproduced copy of the original

 

[GasparZizou]

The SHFs are a weird case, they come up great, almost as good as the real ones, at least with the DBZ ones that is.

I ordered an iron man for customs during the sale so we'll see [emoji1] . Not so sure about the figmas but I got some of the military guys so I hope they turn out ok

...I keep seeing the same pictures every time someone complains about Superman xD

Oh don't worry there are plenty more Shilly Shelly.

Really, you think so? I've seen a bunch of "NECA" figure from China. I was thinking about buying Vasquez from Aliens, but I'm not sure about the quality.

Some listings have pics taken by the sellers, the neca ones tend to have face paint thats a bit iffy. The Rocky ones look ok though

Yeah, you can even ask the sellers and they aren't allowed to say they aren't bootlegs because if they say they aren't, and they obviously are, then upon dissatisfaction after receiving them you can file for a refund and you'll win and keep the figures, so they are upfront about it and they'll tell you if it is or isn't.

So best thing you can do is ask them before buying.

I don't buy Bootlegs or "Brandless" or "surplus", but I was about to buy Gordon Freeman once, and I was sure it was legit because the pics were VERY high res and it look phenomenal, but I asked the seller and he told me it wasn't a bootleg, that it was a brandless factory something from the same run and same factory as the originals, just, without NECA's consent obviously. So I cancelled, but it looked really good. I've read reviews and they say you can't tell them apart, because it's well, literally the same run.

And I've asked around other NECA sellers, like with Reeve Supes and stuff, and they say the same thing, but the quality gap is more noticeable in Reeve Supes.

So yeah, ask them, they should be upfront about it and it's not like you're gonna eat up a lie when you know it comes from China

Just to add to that, if they say "China version" it's basically the same thing. Sometimes they say this to try to imply theyre legit but made in a Chinese factory

Well if you ask them if they are legit, if you ask them directly, "is this NECA original?" or something along those lines, they have to tell you the truth or it will backfire for them.

I suppose saying Chinese version is another way of saying not original

True but they're often pretty tricky with this sort of thing [emoji1]

Thanks

I've seen the NECA TMNT figures and they look perfect. Still, bootlegs from China are making it a pain in the ass to buy stuff from Ebay.

I don't care if they are bootlegs as long as they look the same. I bought a Capullo Batman, and I'm pretty sure it's a fake, but it looks great.

No problem. You can find them in Aliexpress and it's cheaper, and paypal offers the same protection that they do with eBay.

Plus, sellers have reputation too and all that.

I've yet to make my first purchase there, but 3 of my friends purchase there very often and they've never had a single problem.

I don't have a problem with them being bootlegs per say, if they look good, but I'm autistic and I have this thing where "I'll always know" that keeps me from getting them.

I can vouch for aliexpress too, haven't had a bad experience yet. Never lost any money, that is [emoji1] in fact, here's a KO ahf hulk from them (repainted sweat effects, etc)

And I have a feeling many of those dcd ones are in fact factory rejects, and not KOs. The KOs usually can be found in packaging as the bootleggers create a complete product, the rejects are often on their own as they're just individ pieces that were meant to be discarded

 

[LIBBY1957DOG]

haha well i cant vouch for other pictures youve seen but these are mine of my mafex supes broken in packaging, and those were my customs charges

if youve seen similar pictures it would suggest that it shows a fault in quality control in that particular area of the figure

 

[GasparZizou]

But LIBBY that doesnt happen, the very well known MAFEX reputation for bad quality control just came into being randomly and without merit, all those people who received their BVS figures broken out of package or that broke after the first pose are lying and their pics are surely photoshoped, in fact, youre lying too.

Mafex is such a wonderful perfect company I love them daisuki uwu

Wonder Woman in the House!

I like her guys..I think Mafex did a great job. The face does resemble Gadot as WW. Just they used the wrong expression for her face



Of course it's not or never be HT quality in the sculpt but for a 6', it's definitely proportionately the best I've seen so far



I know if and when S.H. figuarts does WW it will blow this out of the water but until then..I'm quite pleased with her for a Mafex..still better ASM all the way.

The one thing that really impressed me about this is the hair. Sculpted beautifully and the color is gorgeous in person. maybe too light for someone's liking but I love it.



The pose possibilities are endless so more pics to come.

In other words there is no way that someone can look at this and think this isn't Gadot as WW in figure form. Only Figuarts, and HT would top this IMO. I know the DCC is coming but will see
