MAFEX Batman v Superman: DOJ Action Figures

[ShadowGuardian]

I also got Batman recently. He reached my high expectations. Part of me is almost more satisfied with Superman as I had super low expectations for him and he turned out to be quite awesome. But overall Batman is a better figure for sure. My only real complaint is the paint apps on the face. The mouth area is just a little messy around the edges, and sadly his right eye was printed weird. Not a huge deal with the eye as you don't notice it too much once he's posed. Plus the mask/shadows help hide it haha.

Even in the picture it doesn't look that bad. Just in person looking closely at it, it really urks me as I'm a perfectionist. [emoji6]

The more I pose Batman, the more I love him. So damn good. THIS is the Batman figure I have always wanted. Even if Figuarts does one it will be very hard to top this Mafex Batman.

Try the mezco 20x better.

...more expensive does not equal better. The texturing on the suit isn't as good. You can't pose it the way you can with the MAFEX one, and the cape shape is wrong, and also the only way to get cool poses out of it is with those weird wire spider things that break the look.

Correct, but more like 1.5x better.

If SHF did one, I expect it to be 20x better than Mafex, like it's the case with TDKR Batman and Joker.

True that but doubt figuarts will make BVS Batman

It would be a shame if they only did JL Batman, I don't like the new costume so much.

Our best bet is getting a Suicide Squad Batman since they're doing those, but I expect to get a full JL lineup from many brands next year, including SHF.

Yeah totally agree I hate both JL Batsuits I doubt I'll get any Batman JL figures.

If they make a decent Superman, I'll get it, even over my "no movie designs" policy.

I really do not like the look of the Mezco figure. Not a fan of the head sculpt, and I think the cloth just looks bad at this scale. Plus I prefer a wired cape than the cape clips stand with the Mezco. I also really doubt the Mezco could get the same amount of articulation as the Mafex.

That being said, I can see why lots of collectors love Mezco more. I just think the Mafex suits me better (cheaper too!).

Eh, Mafex is starting to get better. I love some of the SHF figures, but they aren't ALWAYS the best. The Mafex TDK Batman and Joker aren't fabulous, but the Figuarts ones don't look great either. Especially that Joker. He looks really weak IMO.

But they DO look great, even more so when compared to Mafex's. Sure SHF aren't always the best (lately they are though), but they're certainly better than Mafex, the only exception I can think of is Vader, Vader sucks equally on both brands Oh and Kylo Ren, that one also looks better than SHF.

The thing with Mafex is, how many figures in, and they're starting to get better?

It makes me worry a little for the 2001 figures I have on PO, I really do hope they improve, I really really do. But as of now whatever figure Mafex makes, I'll buy from SHF.

I definitely prefer SHF for SW..they nailed it with that technology they use now . But Mafex has come a long way comparing WW to say ASM, I'd say they are on the right track..just get the human face sculpts better and you have an all around figure to pose with..Figuarts seems to be limiting the articulation a lot with these newer released figures in the past year

 

[GasparZizou]

I don't think their sculpts are that bad at all, in fact Superman looks phenomenal and a dead on Cavill, it's just the weird paint and crappy plastic, that's what's keeping them from being regarded in the same tier as SHF.

They could be up there if they wanted to.

Yeah, I think you're right, I think my WW could pass for Galdot easily but the paint scheme on her face is horrible

I prefer Mezcos look. Mafex isn't big enough to be Affleck Batman IMO.

As if it needs to be said... This one goes out for Mezco

I think with Supes it's gonna be the other way around though.
