MAFEX HUSH Superman Reissue VS Original Action Figure Comparison

[@wayothefro3249]

One thing I really love about MAFEX is how they like to reissue figures such as this one so long as there is a demand.

[@rayvenkman2087]

Hasbro and Mattel could take notes.

[@jonathanchin3396]

If it weren't for this reissue, I would've never had a chance to own this figure, which is, IMO, the definitive 1/12th scale Superman.

[@ping141]

So sad I missed out on it.

[@jonathanchin3396]

@@ping141 You can still pick one up on eBay, it's not going to be retail but it'll only go up in price in the coming months.

[@jeffross9982]

@@jonathanchin3396 How much more on Ebay compared to retail price? I didnt even know they reissued it

[@jonathanchin3396]

@@jeffross9982 It was reissued a few weeks ago and could be ordered for a few days but quickly sold out. Some are available on eBay right now for $120 to $130 - which is only about $20 to $30 more than the reissue price with shipping - but will probably reach the same ridiculous prices before the reissue. I don't know if it'll be reissued a second time so you can pay a little more now or a lot more later.

[@doggoplex3462]

While this fig is definitely in the top 3 best Supes... honestly the new Mezco one looks like it's going to take the cake for me. Just gotta wait until that comes out.

[@Kal_g]

That is an interesting detail on the shorter torso on the re-issued figure. It reminds me of how short the torso was on the Mafex X-Men Cyclops. I am glad they fixed the "S" Symbol on the back of the cape.

[@nhyar]

I wish more reviewers uploaded stuff like this. Really appreciate you taking the time to find the differences. I had no idea Medicom fixed the "S" in the reissue, I would have ordered one just because of that, lol.

[@rayden9713]

The re issue is shorter tho

[@nhyar]

@@rayden9713 True, tha'ts definitely a problem. Oh, well, I just have to ignore the S on my figure and all good, lol.

[@patientmental875]

@@nhyar Pros & cons, mine never leaves his box except for special occasions so im good too lol

[@RichardAcevedo2814]

Third rerelease coming! But I'm very eager to see what the differences are between these first two

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

Hopefully any issues have been fixed! I just placed an order today!

[@bradleydias425]

This is a really good figure despite some minor quality issues. I think, this and the hush batman are probably the best of superman and bats.

[@jcarret26]

I miss out on the reissue! I wish I hadn't. I really wanted to collect this Superman. To me he's the definitive 6 scale Superman!

[@jonathanchin3396]

Some are available on eBay right now for only a slight markup compared to retail, $120 to $130.

[@sigerlion8608]

I'm betting that there will be a Return of Superman fig coming out in the future seeing how they are making figs of that line right now. Probably a Doomsday too. So I'll pick that one up as my definitive Superman.

[@rob_colt.4577]

I just got the re issued hush batman in the blue suit ! I can’t believe they re issued that one too! I was sooo bummed that I had missed out on it the first time around. But now I have my go to batman figure! I also got the re issued Superman. Thank you medicom!

[@therealtenyaiida8782]

When the Mafex Black Regeneration suit Superman comes out you should try and put the head on the Hush Superman to make a 90's Superman.

[@NightwingReturns]

I think everyone has had that idea. We're just patiently waiting for it to finally come out lol

[@KatlikeRider]

I'm sticking with my first release, but I'm really glad people are getting a second chance to get this figure. Really hope Mafex / medicom takes notice of the demand for Superman figures and gives us more. Would LOVE an all-star Superman or classic death of superman.

[@boomcow1]

theres the upcoming cyborg supes one

[@Pearlescent_Toys]

Love this figure, but I really wish it came with a smiling head. Tired of all my Superman figures looking depressed

[@Retr0Dedsec245]

I think this is the best Superman figure 6-inch. I never got the original not going for 130. I like the reissue better, I'm looking forward to getting it.

[@fairamano4657]

I just got mine. I LOVE IT. Great video Brad, these videos got me into MAFEX.

[@DurrtyGato]

Thanks for the comparison. I have the 1st release and I'm lucky to have a good paint job on mine. I did notice the 2nd releases had more blue highlights on the hair. Also I never noticed the missing lines on the s on the back of the cape. I'm perfectly fine with mine.

[@goldoozaru]

Now that I see that Mafex is refining their figures on reissues, I'm hoping that blue hush batman gets its cape fixed so it doesn't look bulky in the front. Thanks for the comparison vid.

[@gemininosaga]

I remember the first video and I was bother by the “s” on the cape but you showed proof that it appears like that in a comic strip. So it grew on me. Now I rather put my money on Cyborg Superman than a re-issue.

[@jlaavenger]

I was thinking that exact thing, that it was more like Jim Lee drew him in the story.

[@Choom89]

Wow.. good stuff! I never would have guessed there would be running changes so soon. Thanks for the information.

[@Yarlick]

Honestly, I got the original, and I'm glad that there is a reissue of it so more people can get it. I feel like the small fixes aren't worth buying another sample to buy though.

[@juansanchez209]

Definitely. I was really surprised that Mafex reissued their highly sought-after Boba Fett figures since those came out years ago, but I’m so glad that they did!

[@eduardolamboy4776]

The slight loss in hgt is a deal breaker for me.

[@RobinMDeathstroke]

I wish it came with an extra-long hair head version, that would have been a great bonus to add to the newer release.

[@rolandkatsuragi]

5:50 That's a stark difference right there, I'm sure people will argue which skin tone is closer to the original coloring.

[@156daysofstatic]

I didn't know they were gonna fix those issues, I'm so glad I was able to get the re-issue at a reasonable price.

[@rolandkatsuragi]

6:53 Even John Byrne hates that, though partly because of his colour impairment. Which is why he was able to give Lois brunette hair but had to retain Superman's blue highlights.

[@patientmental875]

The reissue is nice, but to track one down & pay for the subtle differences after purchasing the first.... no! Great video!

[@kalphil4385]

The just did a third reissue. I just bought mine at Big Bad Toy Store early today. It sold out this evening.

[@CuriosityKilledThisCat]

This Mafex Hush line is my favorite line of figures I think ever... It's the only line that has ever made me want to collect the entire thing, even if I didn't have a connection or love for every character. I have wanted great figures of Jim Lee's designs for years, and so far each figure I've gotten from the line is the new definitive version for my shelf.

[@cmbrock1]

I wish they reissued the old Deadpool figure as I wasn’t really doing the comic book figures from Mafex at the time.

[@JakeV]

Surprised you didn’t mention that the alternate hands in the reissue come with those clear pegs inserted in the holes to keep right and left hands together while the original keeps all the hands separate. It’s an easy way to distinguish between the 2 versions when the boxes are sealed.

[@Mau182]

I think he's focusing on the figure itself

[@rolandkatsuragi]

1:40 I didn't even know MAFEX was soliciting pre-orders for a re-issue.

GREATEST SUPERMAN FIGURE EVER!!!

[@cowboygambit3170]

I’m really curious, if that re issue is shorter than the original, is it shorter than the hush Batman ?

[@andiespinoza7768]

It has to be, because I have both the original Superman and the Batman Hush (black ver.) they stand at the same height but Batman’s ears stick out just past Superman’s hair

[@andiespinoza7768]

What about the right inner part of the torso where the diaphragm cut is? The original had a piece of plastic that would chip the paint on the upper right ab

[@jinbrosfiguresitout3816]

Unfortunately my re-issue I just got the 2 alternate head, the Angry Red Eye head is missing the plug for the neck ball joint 🤬 and my local seller was happy to replace his own copy but he check 3 Mafex sups all are missing that pcs 😤

[@eduardolamboy4776]

Be nice if Mafex does a classic Superman based on the late and great George Perez art! I'd take that over the JL version. I'd love and entire Perez based Justice league team from the satellite era!

[@christhornton8219]

Great comparison video. I was able to snag this re-release. I have a re- issue of the black/grey Batman coming, as I missed out on him too. The only one I got the first round was the grey/blue Batman. Ijust saw that they are re-issuing him as well. I wonder what changes we’ll see? I’d like for his grey to be lighter, like the black/grey one. That was my only knock on the grey/blue. Anyway, nice job!

[@HodorDoor]

I missed both... Is a second reissue possible?

[@kingslurpee6849]

I like the way this figure looks but I'll just wait till I get my mezco One:12 superman later this year.

[@Enzo_Matrix92]

Funny how at Hobbysearch Mafex Batman Blue & Black are still in stock but Hush Supes disappears faster than a speeding bullet every time. I gave up and just pre ordered Amazing Yamaguchi Supes.

[@Tokyo_Joey]

Thanks for the comparison, however, I'm a little confused. I live in Japan and have the first original release. While I do have the glue issue under the chest, the paint on mine isn't glossy like yours (it's matte like your reissue). Also, my logo on the Cape has the small triangles that are missing on yours🤔

[@J0J0Zx]

That’s crazy I also live in Japan rn lol, and I got lucky he was going for $80-$90 on Amazon

[@Tokyo_Joey]

@@J0J0Zx Yeah, the re-issue is available now for that price on Amazon and at AmiAmi. I wanted the Armored Batman this month, but forgot to preorder.

do you have a batman hush reissue vs original version?

[@elcarajo66]

Try this simple head swap with your Mafex Hush Superman: pop off the head and neck and pop on the 2016 Mezco Superman head and neck. If you put the legs in drop down position it now scales well with Marvel Legends. 👍

[@liammatthews1701]

There's one left on amazon Japan for $120 shipped, mine arrived today which was nice. Speaking of re issuing saught after figures I'm surprised they haven't re issued 075 spiderman....the most popular mafex figure

[@nhyar]

Well, that figure had the "comic paint version" and they reissued the original figure on the same year months later, may be because of that. I wish they made a version 2.0 instead because the original had a hard plastic crotch instead of a soft plastic one, they fixed that with Ben Reilly so I really wish they made an upgraded version.

[@BrandonNielsen87]

A comic style John Romita Spider-Man will be 👌 magnificent.

[@Saiyan1229]

Are the legs on the original release pushed in all the way? Cause it being shorter might not be accurate

[@patientmental875]

Look at 2:50 the legs are almost in the same position & theres a considerable height difference!

[@aditadits5452]

Looks like you didnt raise the torso a bit on the reissue. Thats why it looks shorter.

[@BrandonNielsen87]

I wish I got the reissue. I have the original and hate the proportions of it as well as the cape. The original's head looks so small because of the slightly oblong body type. Reissue looks so much better. Dang it!!

[@gameworldintel9924]

I honestly prefer the taller slimmer design. I don’t understand why they chose to make him smaller and stockier 🤷🏽‍♂️ the re-issue is still an amazing piece to add to the collection tho

[@unclejeff68]

I am looking at this on Amazon. But I was wondering if it is the newer version of Superman hush or the original one? Can anyone here help me? In the details I saw that the year was 2021. So maybe it is the newer one. But I would hate to buy it and it not be the right one.

[@OscarGonzalez-ix7dj]

im not a big superman fan but i was lookin @ da hush batman n i seen this part of the series n i dont have no supermans i always wanted 1 doe but didnt know which too get im very picky but this 1 n play arts kai r 2 im interested in

[@vgamer11]

Oof, I'd love to buy this but i feel that this Supes's body is a bit too small

[@BrandonNielsen87]

The re-issue would actually be in scale with SH Figuarts superhero figures.

[@vgamer11]

@@BrandonNielsen87 that is true, but Mafex figures skew slightly larger; and since Supes is normally a bit taller than Batman and the new adjustment would make him slightly shorter, he would no longer be in a good scale.

[@vgamer11]

@@BrandonNielsen87 i also forgot to add that SH figuarts has only made live-action movie figures. Where would this Superman fit among those?

is there a way to tell if reissue without opening the box. printed dates? mine says 3-22-5. the 6 pack on mine does seem shorter though

[@SkillChecks]

I believe the reissue has the spare hands on clear plastic hand holders and the original didn't.

[@eraab6459]

The S on the cape would have been nice on the original but ultimately, I don't care too much about the other differences. EXCEPT! I collect mostly Marvel Legends and there is just now way I would want a Superman shorter than the original Mafex one. That would be a deal breaker since I have mostly Marvel Legends.

[@GreatHavok]

Is it really the abs sat down slightly further on the re-issue or you did not make it stand the way you did with the original? The re issue still have the complete 6 pack abs, you just didn't adjust it the same way you showed the original. Also, you didn't mention if there's a length difference in the legs because it shows on your photo comparison. Perhaps that is why the reissue appears shorter?

[@Saiyan1229]

Nope the abs sit lower on the reissue. Im wondering about the legs too. Cause i dont remember the original going all the way up like the reissue unless you forced it.

[@ComicCrossing]

Its a super nice figure for sure. But I just could not justify 100 bucks for a Superman figure of which there are countless options. I have the Mcfarlane one on display and while the Mafex one is obviously nicer, its just not an extra $100 nicer when that could go towards plenty of other more unique figures. The way I look at it, higher end figures like Mafex are only really worth it for figures of characters that are not easily available. Like Hush with a Jason Todd head. Or a 90s accurate Knightfall Batman (and not the awful red version but the blue and yellow armor we all like). But for a simple Superman there are so many options its crazy.

[@MrRiley-Is-Not-Amused]

I just can't find anything impressive at the $20-$25 price point. Thankfully I can afford Mafex/Figuarts otherwise I wouldnt bother collecting at all because ML's and McFarlane figures just don't cut it for me. I require more that $25 worth of 'quality' in my figures.
