Figure or Fodder? MAFEX Suicide Squad and TDK Bank Robber Joker Medicom

[@jcacc902]

This is honestly the best action figure channel

[@darkhearsttoys5224]

Probably. Toy Galaxy is also high quality.

[@will4122]

Darkhearst Toys darkhearst! I follow you on IG. Toy galaxy is like an appetizer channel, a I only have 3-7 minutes let me get a quick video in. This one is a bit more meaty and in-depth. Both have sculpted their way into the toy community and belong equally though, and enjoy both.

[@darkhearsttoys5224]

Will, what's your handle on IG?

[@will4122]

Darkhearst Toys @ToyAutomata

[@darkhearsttoys5224]

Will Krivickas oh cool, I follow you too

[@daviddoane8030]

It was cool to see your collection in the background.

[@TheFwoosh]

This is going to force me to dust more often, heh. Damn it.

[@daviddoane8030]

Hahaha I feel you there. All of my Stormtroopers look like Sandtroopers because of how dusty my room is haha

[@spungchbop]

Man, this is what I love about your work, Robo. You're always innovating, always trying new things, always taking suggestions and sometimes acting up on it. You're without a doubt my favorite reviewer on KZbin and your content is always, always, ALWAYS quality. Never stop your rambling, Robo!

[@TheFwoosh]

Rambling will never be a problem, haha. But yeah, I love changing things up. While I try to keep it entertaining for y'all, it also helps to keep me interested too. I get into a rut and then start getting less enthused. Change is good. Thanks man!

[@paltrax]

The pictures of Harley does not do it justice I feel it just perfect in person

[@FanDethklok]

I hope you find a BvS Mafex Batman for a decent price Robo. It's one of the best Batmen ever put to figure form.

[@Zhan995]

Or just to wait for a Justice League non-armored version.

[@yodaiam6996]

Zhan995 that’s still not the same as the bvs/suicide squad costume

[@TheFwoosh]

I completely forgot that there wasn't a Squad Batman, that it was BvS Batman....and I had that at some point. I think I gave it away at the time because I hated the Superman so much. Hmmm.

[@Janjibro66]

SidTheAstroSloth It’s a terrible figure. There’s only one head sculpt, the skin tone is orange, and the body is too skinny. The Mafex JL Batman would be much better.

[@AntonymicallyCorrect]

I just picked up these two Jokers and this Harley. Love the straight jacket, but I can't get the purple coat arms to stick in the shirt torso and I has a sad. The ball pegs are too small.

[@OiBob]

After I got her, I took a trip to joanns and had a friend help me pick out the right kind of fabric for Harleys party dress. I made a few when I was testing it out and I'm happy to send you one if you want! It helps make her look less like she's wearing a flat tire on her body.

[@TheFwoosh]

Whoa, really? Is the rubber dress easy to remove?

[@OiBob]

The Fwoosh it's just attached at the straps so it's pretty easy to remove. I gust glued into the holes that were left from the rubber dress!

[@graefx]

if you ever crack open the SHF dead shot, I'd love to see him next to the mafex and the mafex BVS batman. I don't think they ever made a SS one so the head with Harley goes on the BVS release.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I forgot they didn't do a Suicide Squad Bats, and I don't have that MAFEX BVS Batman anymore. Argh. At the time I thought, I'll never get any use out of this, Medicom is terrible and I don't care for the DC movies." Yeah, that's why I rarely get rid of anything.

[@AgallochJalen]

The Batman head that comes with the Dress Harley actually goes on the Mafex BvS Batman. They didn't make a Suicide Squad version as it's the same suit.

[@TheFwoosh]

Ah, yeah, forgot all about that. And I even had that Bats at one time. Only two figures (Superman too) that I gave away. Now I want it back, looking at eBay prices...

[@marcdancel9743]

I really love that Harley Quinn dress version, especially I collect Harley figures, I need to get her at some point 😃😅

[@DarkShade1337]

What a glorious Star Wars action figure shelf.

[@TheFwoosh]

Hopefully it'll look better once I get the rest of the stuff in there. Stupid 500 praetorians, they are going to need a shelf to themselves.

[@lrf233]

Definitely liked seeing part of your collection in the background. Great review as always. The SH Figuarts Will Smith face looked really good even inside the package.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I need to crack that open and give it a look sometime soon. I have a feeling he'll look amazing but be too short for what I have on the shelf.

[@AntonymicallyCorrect]

And I love Harley in the dress. That hip articulation makes her have some realistic curves. Grrrrrrrrrrrrooooooowllllĺl

[@ArtIsMySin19]

Love these updates to the collection and I think it works in the toy room! I don’t know how filming would work but if you did each figure or fodder in front of the theme you’re talking about similar to this one it would be so cool.

[@TheFwoosh]

I thought about that but because of the narrowness of the room I can't get much more than a diagonal shot like this. And the opposite way would have my second desk with all my customizing stuff on it, which is a disaster zone, haha.

[@ryantheanimator1156]

Awesome intro this time, Robot! Gave me goosebump.

[@Straightened-Slinky.]

I like the toy room location for this series, it is fitting. This figure or fodder line of quick reviews is cool

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man. Yeah, I get to play with more toys at once, win-win.

[@kerinkellynerdcorner]

The Dead shot is awesome awesome! Accessories, articulation and Will sculpt head makes this figure rock!👊🏾

[@generalx8910]

Joker is better

[@prescribeddrone]

I dig the toy room location. It sorta fits the whole theme of the video series. I have more SHF than MAFEX so when it comes to movie stuff, I'll probably stick with SHF... or Mezco.

[@hreuter86]

Your collection looks great. I actually just got in the mafex deadshot the other day it's a very nice figure.

[@clonetrooper84]

I really liked this video. You had me entertained the entire time. Makes me want to get into the Mafex line.

[@davidmarrero9608]

Really love how giddy you got in this figure or fodder lol it shows how a figure can make use all gush over excitement over how amazing it is. Also I really like the figures in this figure and fodder especially that DeadShot since he scales well with the Mezco BVS Batman despite being taller but it can be fudged in a shot or pose also too I feel kinda disappointed that we never got the full squad. Since I wanted a good Katana figure along with a Killer Croc and Enchantress because it the characters need love too other then Joker, Harley and DeadShot.

[@TheFwoosh]

Exactly. I was tempted to get the Mattel ones to fill holes but every time I looked at them....I just couldn't do it. And yeah, gimme some good toys and I'm happy, heh.

[@davidmarrero9608]

The Fwoosh yeah but also those didn't have the greatest articulation so it was an easy pass on the Mattel ones. Also I'm looking forward for the signature series by Mattel since those look great and set in the right direction even seeing people post it on The Fwoosh forums haves me excited for John Wesley Shipp 90's TV Show Flash figure and the review by Brad The DC Universe Geek made me really want him even the Batman despite the cape and head sculpt being off. Also totally agree! I'm the same way too Robo those dang figures with their awesome sculpts, paint and articulation just look too do that you gotta express that feeling

[@allankostyk5035]

Warm water on Harleys dress makes it tighter.

[@Born2strike24s]

My favourite figure out of all of these is the bank robber joker where can I get it????

[@printrabbit8117]

I think this was a turning point for MAFEX and Tamashii, the former upping their game and the latter cutting corners. I got the SHF Harley first and then skipped Deadshot as they skimped on the detail, so she's just hanging alone in the random scale void. I'm liking the toy room (better lighting and you're good to go), though a little distracting :) - How well does Snoke's throne work with other lines like ONE:12/Marvel Legends? I think you reviewed that actually, will have to check if you covered it there, ha

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I have a review of Snoke's throne up, Loki looks pretty sweet on it. And more lights is on the to-buy list. I get to sit in the toy room, so that's a big won already, haha.

[@ken_r_action_figures7932]

If you are a member of Costco, they have these LED light fixtures for $30 that will light up your room excellently. They plug into an outlet and are very easy to hang. You can actually buy those light bulb converters to turn your existing light fixture into an outlet. I think they are less than a buck at Walmart. Just a suggestion if you want more light in your toy room. My basement is my toy room and I have about six of them. It’s like being in fluorescent light without having the worry of UV rays damaging your plastic action figures.

[@TheFwoosh]

No Costco anywhere around me, unfortunately.

[@wIzKid16100]

Toy room for sure, the room looks super cool with the neat collection on the background and I believe I've never seen your collection so it's a first for me but it's definitely nice. 👍🏼

[@GothamGeneral]

Can we get a toyroom walk through?

[@TheFwoosh]

Still working on that. I had just finished arranging and dusting the SW shelves right before this shoot. Still have more shelves to do.

[@GothamGeneral]

The Fwoosh niceee

[@Janjibro66]

Fwoosh, have you got any idea of when we might expect to see some new pictures of the JL Batman from Mafex? I was big time looking forward to the January release and it getting pushed back made for a rock start to 2018 for me lol.

[@TheFwoosh]

They usually push most releases back a month or two, although they've gotten better with a couple lately. I didn't pre-order the JL Batman so I didn't realize it got pushed. I know Batman Begins did, but then Catwoman released on time. It's hit and miss.

[@Janjibro66]

The Fwoosh Cool, thanks!

[@daveadams6345]

Awesome video once again! I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos!

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh man, thanks for that!

[@ThatGuyStephen-zx7pc]

My sh figuarts Harley has writing on it..and loving the figure room

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, but not all of it. And yeah, I think I'm digging it too.

[@ThatGuyStephen-zx7pc]

The Fwoosh oh ok I thought you might have received one just plain..again keep up the great work..oh yeah any idea when articulated icons will see a re-release

[@TheFwoosh]

Not sure yet, we're working on shipping and storage at the moment, some things in the air.

[@ThatGuyStephen-zx7pc]

The Fwoosh ok well I check every so often and follow you guys on the Facebook so I'm sure you post an update there..

[@harrisongrant1066]

Love seeing your toy room! Carry on but get some lights in there haha

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, lights are on the list, haha.

[@gmoney1664]

I just picked up a bank robber joker and I now get why you hated Mafex. The right shoulder on mine was popped out in the packaging, I can pop it back in, but it now pops out whenever you touch the right arm. It's sooooo infuriating! Any tips for getting the joints to hold better? It's a ball popping out of the socket 🤔🤔🤔

[@TheFwoosh]

Try adding some Future floor polish to the ball, thicken it up a bit so it will stay in a little better. And yeah, while I haven't had much trouble with that Bank Robber Joker except some looseness, he's from the dark days of MAFEX.

[@gmoney1664]

@@TheFwoosh cheers Robo, I'll give it a go. I'm coming from the other way. Bobs Fett, Cat Women 2.0, Dark Knight batman 2.0 and R1 Vader, then I stumble across this. That's the last 'back catalogue' figure I'm getting

[@stickwoodthebrand]

G Money where did you get yours? i literally just ordered mine and issues like this freak me out

[@gmoney1664]

@@stickwoodthebrand I can't find my emails confirming the order/shipping, so can only assume I deleted them. Fingers crossed mine was a bad batch. Its just the one arm, everything else is spot-on

[@desdichado3308]

Love those figure /fodder clips. I was on the fence regarding the bank robber joker. Except the Deadshot all of them should be fodder - Mafex will just break in the wrist after 2 times you attempt to pose them. All's good with the location except the lighting.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, lighting is terrible in here, I'm usually just sitting in the dark editing videos in here, or with the top light on and playing with toys on the shelves. But I haven't had a wrist break on a MAFEX ever. I've had a couple fall apart but not break break.

[@desdichado3308]

Lucky you.Fall apart with Mafex I'm used to, since 1st Batman. But breakage-It happened to me twice. Love your vids and the recent Bullet Club inspired T's. I'm ordering one as soon as the PX exclusive Deathstroke ships. Being outside of US and having to buy almost every figure I own abroad and paying international shipping ...I have to run on a tight budget , or I'll get a divorce.

[@TheFwoosh]

Jealous of the Deathstroke. I wanted one but it didn't fit the budget. It was either that or food, haha.

[@desdichado3308]

Who needs food, when you can get Gwenpool, Domino, Mysterio, Cable and the coolest Ghost Rider ever ?

[@AnthonyFilms29]

That intro is lit af

[@Sammy1970]

Although it’s nice to see some of your figures in the background, well once you sort the lighting out lol! - I do kind of like the old format with the green screen as it looks a lot more professional imo🤔

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, hopefully with some better lighting I can get this looking better. Plus, chair, heh.

[@rogerhalt3991]

Damn that Deadshot is amazing! I like the Bank robber Joker a lot too. Shame they didn’t/ couldn’t(?) make changes to the Harley in the dress to make it more feminine? But it’s an ok figure.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, boxy. It's mostly the way the dress hangs, being a rubbery material instead of cloth.

[@GroovyDude00]

The unmasked Bank Robber Joker looks like that comedian Todd Berry

[@TheFwoosh]

And now that's stuck in my head!

[@EvilLordSauron]

ITS THE SHELF IVE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT

[@darkhearsttoys5224]

For what it's worth, I like the greenscreen. No one else is doing that, from what I've seen.

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm definitely more comfortable in front of the screen since I've been doing that for a year and a half now (geez time flies) and I'll still keep that for the Weeklys. Figure or Fodder is so random that it's nice to just sit and do it. But we'll see.

[@ThatWrestlingHound]

Yes please let that be your background for all FOF vids

[@FanDethklok]

I honestly love these Suicide Squad Mafex figures. I skipped Deadshot because he shouldn't tower over everyone.

[@hreuter86]

SidTheAstroSloth I'm cool with it just because Will Smith is around 6'2 and Jared Leto 5'9.

[@mattlewis4207]

I love your channel man. Keep up the good work!

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks!

[@deakon8186]

Dig the layout just need more light :-)

[@TheFwoosh]

Completely agree, heh. Thanks a lot man!

[@Adatron706]

Awesome, thanks Robo!

[@zyklonb2355]

I like it with the toy room backround, but the lighting is kinda dark. But do what u want👍👍

[@TheFwoosh]

I definitely need to work on the lighting. But not bad for a first pass. Thanks man!

[@cmathissr46]

Hell ya,great figure or fodder review!

[@Brian-mi5kg]

i love the new format

[@venim3404]

A bunch of great looking figure I personally think Mafex wined in the suicide squad line except on that dressed Harley it looks weird and the face doesn't really look like Margot Robbie at least for me and loved the video I really dig the toy room location better hope you keep it like this keep up the good work man you're really killing it!

[@MUTT32216]

Even though the movie wasn’t received all that well I wish mafex would re-do the suicide squad figures.

[@thequaker5157]

holy crap that intro is dope!

[@_The_Journey]

Like the bullet club style shirt

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man!

[@change023]

I like the toy room.

[@cdogcdog4814]

I like the Mafex Harley in a dress. Granted I don't hsve it in hand but amd I agree it looks boxy, but it's still a pretty stellar piece imo. That said, the regular version does look better as a whole. What I REALLY liked was seeing your Masters Classics in the background and that brings me to my question. Do you have any videos on your collection/toyroom, Robo?

[@TheFwoosh]

I have one from Jan 2017 but I've since condensed and moved stuff around a little. Not much, I just binned a lot of MOTUC that I didn't really care about and had to move some Star Wars around to there. Star Wars is taking over the room. I need to marry another kid off.

[@VisperaInfernal]

how often do you dust your figures?

[@TheFwoosh]

Not very often, but now I'll have to do it more often if I'm shooting in here, haha.

[@TheTrognation]

Is that a custom Aurra Sing I spy?

[@TheFwoosh]

I forgot I had that sitting up there, haha. I think I have a different body in mind.

[@BevanBoychuk]

Room tour?

[@TheFwoosh]

Hopefully soon.

[@NerdyUpdatesPH]

i love the toy room just get more lights.

[@kriss.9790]

Toy room is fine Robo. Maybe light it a bit more. Like Dan from toy Galaxy. But I gues thats hard in a small room. Or maybe move your toyroom, then you have all the shelf space you want :)

[@TheFwoosh]

I had a kid get married and move out last year but still no bigger room. "Move out" is a strong term too, she uses her old room as a storage space. Otherwise I'd have me a Star Wars room and this room would be for everything else. Until the next kid moved out...

[@jameslohr4943]

Like the new location, Robo! Great video as always

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, plus I get to sit, haha! Which was weird, but I'm sure that's something I can get used to.

[@Pandapeep]

"Whenever you're watching the movie.." but why tho?

[@FigsNLifts]

Dude, I've gotta ask.....How do you dust your shelves? Biggest pain of my collecting life by far 😯 Just seeing all your stuff I gotta wonder do you just take it all down or what?

[@TheFwoosh]

I usually wait until I accumulate a bunch of new stuff and then start rearranging. Pull one shelf down, dust, move stuff from one shelf to the dusted one, repeat. And believe me, it was dusty as hell, I had just finished that process right before shooting, haha.

[@haynoahh]

I like this much better than the green screen!

[@TheFwoosh]

I think I do too. As I was shooting I was worried, and while editing I saw a bunch of stuff that can improve like lighting, but I think I'm sticking with it. Thanks man!

[@EZCompanyCollectibles]

After that intro, I gotta change my pants

[@ChesapeakeRipper]

ive waited 10 thousand years for u to review mafex harley an finally i know ur thoughts on her. also how did u get the gun from the holster?

[@TheFwoosh]

It acted like it was stuck at first but I just pulled a little harder and it slipped out.

[@jeremypaulino3428]

There is no suicide squad batman, the respirator head is for the bvs mafex batman

[@TheFwoosh]

I completely spaced on that. And I even had the BvS Bats at one time. Looking now, he's expensive on the secondary market. Damn it.

[@Magikknight76]

Great video Robo!!! I dont care where you shoot these videos just so long as you shoot them...

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man!

[@apetraserrano]

For me,mafex Harley looks waaay better than the figuarts one,in every single way..

Yeah, the more I look, the more I agree.

[@williamsmith1477]

Awsome review

[@mn0s741]

Nooooooooooo, its impossible!...Wheres the guitar intro?

[@TheFwoosh]

Trying to change things up for different formats. Ever forward.

[@brandonkeisler86]

If you like accessories go with Mafex. If you like figures go with SHF.

[@Bobphat456]

That mafex deadshot is just too big. Compared to the mafex Batman it is just weird how tall deadshot is. Same goes for the mafex Harley

[@TheFwoosh]

See, that may be what's throwing me off, not having a Batman right next to them.

[@Janjibro66]

Bob Phaty It’s so true. It’s an excellent figure completely ruined by the fact that he won’t scale well with any BvS Batman figure. I mean, if he’s too big for even Mezco BvS Batman you know he’s too tall.

[@Leo_-gd9pk]

Please show your Star wars collection!!!

[@TheFwoosh]

I had just finished dusting it right before shooting this, and I still haven't gotten some stuff up, like all the Praetorians and such. Soon.

[@cybernerdcreations4475]

Why was deadshot out of scale? Mafex is weird..

[@shinobisichi7]

Keep it in the toy room

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I think I'll work on lighting and angle, keep it in here.

[@jediknutt620]

Second viewing and I just noticed the Aurra Sing custom.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, still haven't finished that, keep flipflopping on the base body.

Love figure or fodder....I couldn't bring myself to pick up any suicide squad figures as I hate the movie. Robo are you getting any of the dbz master grade figurise models? They look siiiiick

[@TheFwoosh]

Master grade? Are those the 8-inch scale ones?

[@XXTROB]

The Fwoosh hmmmm you know what, I didn't even look at scale....they just looked more detailed. It'd make sense that they'd be larger though if my former gundam building self can remember. They're on ami ami

[@TheFwoosh]

I've seen some larger ones on Amazon, Goku and....I can't remember the other one. I think they have actual working muscles or something. I've been tempted but I really don't need to start a new scale. Again.

[@XXTROB]

The Fwoosh just one can't hurt 😏

[@TheFwoosh]

Just one can hurt a lot! HA!

[@donniedial3014]

For me the hips on Harley Quinn is just to wide. I also think that she is a little too wide and spread out.

Sadly, MAFEX's Harley is missing tattoos, as well. only one that has every tattoo is the Hot Toys, unfortunately. :(

[@TheFwoosh]

Really? So the SHF is missing even more than I thought?

[@NitroCigarette]

The SHF is the worst offender, yeah. :/ Unless the jacketed MAFEX has her lower back tattoo, then it's only missing one.

[@kerinkellynerdcorner]

Mafex Harley in a dress is a fucking disaster bro! Legs, back and chest is done terribly.

[@TheFwoosh]

That's mostly what I said. Weird gap in the chest, dress too wide, very top heavy.

[@TheFwoosh]

That's mostly the dress killing the shape. Needs a lot of work.
