Action Figure Medicom - MAFEX Star Wars line coming

[fatmarco]

Are we sure that isn't just the Revenge of the Sith Vader rather than the Rogue One version?

I think this MAFEX looks more accurate and I like all the accessories, but the SHF one, man, it's a superb action figure. Do you have it? [emoji2]

You asked if he has the Figuarts FO Stormtrooper. I can use the same question back at you. Do you have the Mafex FO Stormtrooper? Unless you have both in hand I don't think you can make an accurate comparison.

No I mean that photo from that event. It looks pretty similar to the first Vader which the ROTS version is shaping up to be. I'd be surprised if they'd be showing the new Vader considering they still have the Revenge Vader to release first.

Edit:

Actually judging by his crotch is must be the Rogue One version. My bad.

Keep calm dude, I was just asking, not the way you say.
I can talk by the pics shown here comparing MAFEX/Black Series/SH Figuarts. That's the purpose if the comparison pics right? Then all we can argue what we think.
Obviously, a figure in hand is the final proof to tell the actual feelings, but there are a lot of ways to know if a figure is enough good or bad.

Keep calm? All I did was ask you the same question you asked him. Do you own the Mafex FO Stormtrooper?

This is what you said:
"Do you have the Mafex FO Stormtrooper? Unless you have both in hand I don't think you can make an accurate comparison. ��"

Is not the same question I asked him.

And please don't continue this way. Thanks.

Fair enough

this is my opinion:

you can not mix the two lines because mafex is bigger than figuarts.

if you want the best human figures you are commited to the figuarts because some sculpt are awesome (not the last kenobi), and than you have to pick up the figuarts also for the non-human character due to the scale.

But every mafex figure (I don't have any mafex) is better scale better movie accurate than the shf counterpart.

I agree. SHF are so smaller than the rest of 1:12 lines that are almost in a different scale, perhaps 1:13?
Seriously, I think soon or later all we will end considering this.

Robo has a review of the ROTJ Boba Fett up now on The Fwoosh YouTube channel if anybody is interested.

This really is fantastic

Just wish the box was small like SHF.

 

[Auel]

Really liking it with the Hasbro paudron, wonder if I should sell all my SHF and Hasbro ones for a Mafex squad.

There is no order with the First Order!

 

[Kunanuk]

I wonder why there are so few reviews of this one if it's really a so good figure. Perhaps it has arrived too late after TBS, SHF and Bandai kit? The troops are already build? Too expensive?
Bad reputation of MAFEX?
What do you think?
Let's keep this thread alive!

All of the above. Plus they haven't quite got the release rate of figuarts in order to maintain constant relevance. It feels like figuarts announces a new figure every month almost.

Desert thread.
I wonder if would be a good idea to join all 6" japanese lines in one unique discussion thread. In fact, SH Figuarts thread is full of references to other lines.

I got my Boba from HLJ and I got a Jango head from ibmmt on eBay (and Fwoosh). I had him paint a few scars to make it more like Boba should be, given his life choices



I am very please with Boba, he looks very realistic. I have been generally pleased with the Mafex figures I have except Superman and his orange face.

That would be cool. Definitely wish that Mafex would follow the Figuarts model more closely. I love how their stuff scales most of the time, but also seems so hit or miss. Seeing how the Wonder Woman face turned out makes me worried about Rey for instance. But Boba is amazing!

Also, you guys see that Phasma is March now?? Really hope she doesn't have the same issues as 3PO, as I was hoping that'd be my go-to Phasma. Then again, I'll probably get her anyway lol.

Just avoid getting Mafex figures with human heads. They're fine when they don't have to paint a face, and their proportions are always better than Figuarts for amoured characters, but until they start using the same 3d printing tech that Figuarts has been using, their faces will always look like junk. I preordered Kylo, WW, Knightmare Bats etc. based on how good the faces looked in the proto pics, but I cancelled Kylo once Wonder Woman actually released and their prototype pictures were revealed to be a lie. Mafex hadn't really lied about their paint quality before so I just merely figured they'd gotten better. Their Supes for example was pretty much the exact same paint quality in proto as it was in release (aka. pretty hideous). It's a shame really because those prototype figures look amazing, and these days with what Figuarts is producing head wise, they need to be upping their game.
