Me: This looks great! Anthony: It’s doo doo Me: It’s doo doo All jokes aside, this is why I love Anthony’s reviews. He tells it how it is, and judges it by it’s price range without sugar coating anything. There’s people out there who say Anthony just shits on everything to shit on them, and well, they’re wrong. Anthony, unlike most other reviewers, actually know how to make an action figure, so he knows what he talking about, AND he gives credit where it’s due, if the figure is fantastic, he tells it so. Sure, his standards are higher than others, but I will always trust his opinion rather than others when coming to whether or not to buy a figure. I was debating buy this Cyclops, or the love triangle 3-pack, and after watching 2 prior reviews, Anthony just confirmed that I probably shouldn’t buy it considering the price is so high, so thank you Anthony

For the stubby torso their reference art is almost certainly the Capcom art where he also has a stubby torso. We can infer that was their reference for the figure because two of Mediocom's promo images show the figure in poses that directly replicate win poses from Capcom's Marvel fighting games (the one where he's pointing to the side with two fingers and the one where he's looking up and firing an optic blast).

Let me preface this comment by saying I have never owned a Mafex figure ... hell, I've never even held one in my hand. But with all the review videos I've seen for their assorted product ( particularly their Marvel licensed product) I've never seen anything to make me believe that these figures are worth anything CLOSE to their MSRP ... even with the figures that the community gushes over, for instance, the comic Spider-Man (which I will concede for the sake of argument is objectively better than the Hasbro ML counterpart) there is no convincing me that Mafex's offering is worth four to five times the price point. As someone who has collected toys for longer than I'd care to admit, the following that this company enjoys remains for me, one of the most bewildering facets of this hobby. All that said - another great video, Ant! Keep holding their feet to the fire and calling em like you see em!

I'd say the difference blues were intentional to show different fabric. Like the head piece around the face clearly wouldn't be metal, it would be a cloth of some sort. The knees and elbows were probably meant to have pads on them. Also, idk if I'm just weird, but my hands reach to around the end of my thighs so I don't see any problems with that.

Respectfully, I think your anatomical knowledge is off. His traps clearly extend beyond the straps. That floating piece inbetween the shoulder and the pecks is meant to be a continuation of the traps and pecks- while still allowing for great shoulder movement. You can clearly see the collar bone sculpt continue from the peck onto the floating piece. And the trap is above the collar bone on the same piece. Plain as day
@AnthonysCustoms
@AnthonysCustoms 4 жыл бұрын
I didn't relate the traps to the floating pieces at all though... I never related the floating pieces to the chest sculpt either. You're telling me I'm wrong and citing things I didn't say to support your point. The traps and chest are wrong because they're not sculpted properly. It has nothing to do with the floating piece.

I think the proportions would be a lot better, had they made the belt / shoulder straps the appropriate length. He loses a 1/4" (maybe even a bit more) on his torso, because that belt sits above his waist line. That's actually my single biggest issue with the figure. I'm surprised you didn't go harder on them for that... It also makes his mid-section area way too tall which really throws off his proportions. Imagine what the proportions would look like on the Marvel Legends figure if they did the same thing.

@@AnthonysCustoms I'm not saying it fixes the problem. But, I am saying it would improve the visual appearance of the figure and it's proportions. His lower abdomen area is completely blocked, compared to the Hasbro ML where it is fully visible. It's the same as an old man hiking up his trousers to his belly button... That's going to give him the appearance of an extremely short torso. It doesn't change the length of his arms, but it helps showcase the actual size of his torso, rather than make it even worse.

@craigcharlesworth1538 4 жыл бұрын
Was it the Mafex Batfleck that also had a torso that was too short? I think in that case it was because the ball peg they used was too short and it could be fixed by replacing it with a taller ball peg, but that's impossible here because the shoulder harness appears to be sized for the torso as it is now so if you stretch the torso you won't get the harness back on. Shame.

It's definitely a "me" thing, but I like this body more than the Hasbro version. This one doesn't have that sort of stock/generic look like most Hasbro bodies, so I would choose this over that one if I collected X-Men. It's not anatomically correct, but it doesn't look boring. Obviously, it should just have the correct anatomy though. He would blend in pretty well with ToyBiz figures, given the bubbly body and weirdly-lengthed limbs.

Thanks for the honest review. I'm not a fan of the X-Men franchise so I wouldn't have bought this anyway, but it is helpful to see someone being critical for the right reasons. There will be other reviewers justifying their purchase or free sample for review for clicks. In the end, if you like it, then that's cool, you do you. If you expect better for the price of the figure, then you are justified. I want to reiterate what you said about how you get nothing for this critical review. You spent your money and got a pile of crap. You could have bought another figure that you would have been happy with and given a great review. Yet, here we are. Money lost for the sake of providing the viewer with an honest assessment of what they are potentially buying. This is what a reviewer should do. Thanks again.

And what's with the terrible leg articulation for mafex figures? same issue with my hush superman. easily pops off and stiff with super stiff movement. and the giant meat flap things for lat muscles. Those look awful and weird.

I love SHF, but I also know they have problems with some of their figures and those same reviewers will claim that they are the worst figures out there. Iron spirderman for example, SHF came out with one at the time of the movie release, they didn't like it. Mayfex came out with one almost a year later and nearly every reviewers iron spider legs broke and they still loved it! I love it when people keep reviews real.

@@Zapdos97 I agree with you on that. I mean they showed Wolverine with the big claws and blue stripes since the prototype and people still complained about those when they got the figure. Acting like they were surprised this happened.

I think if the belt was lowered a bit more, his upper torso wouldn't look so squat. Also, if you hinge his shoulders up a bit instead of letting them extend down, that would fix the long arm look. Just my 2 centavos. I also think they based this figure off the 90s arcade game look and not the animated series.

Ah well I go both versions of the legends and a spare I plan to alter for correct colors...all under 90 bucks for all three...and the jean and wolverine in the three pack.

Judging by the comments a lot of y’all weren’t trying to spend money on this figure from the start 😂 gtfoh with all that window shopping. He didn’t save y’all money, he made you feel better about not having the funds for it. Stick to legends. I’m hype to finally have neck pivot, toe bend, and a crotch on a cyclops figure.

I’ve seriously only bought a few figures that you have reviewed as bad but that was because of decent price. But most of the time thanks to you, my wife won’t kill me for spending way too much on a crappy figure. I own the Legends Cyclops in the in the jacket and, while I’d love that color scheme without the jacket, I’m perfectly fine with that. And it came with 2 other figures for less than this Mafex one.
