Action Figure Medicom - MAFEX Star Wars line coming

Give me that Bossk! Gotta get 4-LOM now and I hope to see an IG-88 soon! Give me all the Empire Strikes Back Bounty Hunters!

2.0 Stormtrooper, comes with 2 helmets.

Wow, they actually got the asymmetrical eyes.

When the arms are straight, the elbow joints on that look really off-putting, too robotic. If the joints flowed more naturally, they would look so much better. BS and ANH SHF look better overall to me.

Disagree on the joints. I love the SHF for pose-ability, but the joints look much more ‘robotic’ than the Mafex. Very thin limbs wearing thick armour.

Yes, well, that is a bit extreme! I have mine posed to match my 1/6 model kit and it looks great. The Mafex arm joints don't look like a human arm in armour. Black Series joint do seem to have a more natural flow to them.

Look what showed up …came out much better than the proto pictures IMO

You'd hope that you wouldn't notice the oversized stitches on the cape in hand. Still, this will live or die by the likeness to Mark Hamill. One thing I will say for Mafex is that they are easier to find in the UK now and aren't too expensive, particularly for older figures. I love my ESB Fett and fancy a Bo-Katan at some point.

Darth Vader (Kenobi Ver.)

Not surprising, but I'm hoping they'd do ANH.

Saw that yesterday. Looks Great, but I just find it hard to spend $100 on a 6" figure. And it would actually be cheaper at BBTS for $130 than buying overseas after shipping. That's a First. Amazon Japan has it at $93 but like $50 in shipping!

I already have both the Hasbro Target excl version and S.H.Figuarts (as well as the TVC and HT versions). The Figuarts was only $72 with shipping from Amazon Japan back when it came out in 2023. This would cost 2x that. Even more than the Bandai Samurai version I almost bought back in December for like $82 on sale at Amazon (I have the previous 2 versions of that as well).
