MAFEX News/Update - December 2024

[@clarkeant]

Superboy is my most anticipated figure it looks so dope! Will be the best ever at 1/12

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Hopefully January

[@joechang6345]

If Mafex is wanting to sell more characters from the Spidey franchise, tell them Mary Jane would drive us all nuts. Romita Sr. version or 90's McFarlane. Everyone will need it in our Spider-Man displays. Marvel Legends did a few, but these are lackluster, corner cutting efforts.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

I’m seriously waiting for them to tackle a Spider-Man storyline like they do with DC. Death of Gwen Stacy or Kraven’s Last Hunt would be my top two to start.

[@Panda_man..]

I’m glad I caught on and finally got myself their venom recently, but even I have to agree that I don’t really understand why they prioritized two reissues of venom and carnage within the same year.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

It’s baffling

[@DaveHutchinson86]

Really enjoying your channel and your inside info on Mafex. It's super helpful

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Appreciate it. Thank you

[@cookedit]

That Superboy better live up to the quality of its predecessors. Will be a perfect quintet for display.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Yeah. Better not let us down

[@cookedit]

​@@KaijuDaddyJapanThat face and jacket on promo pics aren't the best. But I have faith in Mafex, as they are good at head sculpts and soft goods.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Very true

[@marrfex]

Great vid as usual !! Any news on the Mafex hush scarecrow and riddler ?

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

2025 is all they can say due to the delays.

[@chrisalan457]

Thanks for the super helpful update! Definitely looking forward to the Superboy, he will complete my "Reign of the Supermen" lineup. Do you know when the Hush Tim Drake Robin and Doomsday figures will go up for preorder?

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Hoping the Robin is this month. Doomsday prototype wasn’t painted so probably 2025 on that one

[@sherwinjamestuason8503]

I don't know if you have seen it but one of the Mafex PO this month is Megan from the movie with thesame name

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Yeah saw that. Hoping for three announcements this month as well

[@one12perspective]

Do you think they’ll ever reissue the comic version of Iron Man no.165? I totally regret not getting him, especially since I have Thor, Cap and Spider-Man, I feel like he is missing in there lol.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Straight reissue no. It’s a shelf warmer. If they see the stealth sell well maybe they’ll revisit the figure with new paint but I don’t think a straight reissue will happen

[@justincombustionyb]

I don't know why they don't hire you as a consultant. You can definitely help them out a lot!

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Haha I wish

[@lilcees8291]

@@KaijuDaddyJapan ask for a six figure salary lol

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

10 figures. They can afford it

[@ocoello]

Hi any news about the release date of Scarecrow or the Riddler?

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Just 2025 is all they can say right now. Riddler is say is more than likely January

[@edgardoescobar1393]

Always appreciate the news thank you Kaiju

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Thanks for watching

[@Zero-kz6kp]

Have any news about black panther 1.5

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

2025 is what they said

[@Zero-kz6kp]

@@KaijuDaddyJapanthank you

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

No problem. Wish I could say it was sooner.

[@philmicklewright1508]

4 Lom is the only one I really care about. Great to hear he’s still on track for December. Hopefully bossk is not too far behind followed by the rest of them

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Very pleased with that release but not loving the price

[@wllmdvsjr]

Hey brother, any word on Riddler and Scarecrow?

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

2025 is all they can say

[@Keking247]

January Mafex is going to have hell of releases for the month. 😂😂😂

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Hopefully! Less delays and more releases

[@lilcees8291]

I’m gonna wait for your review of Luke to see if I get him but I’m excited to 4-LOM. The delays don’t seem that bad to me anymore, but I waited for what felt like 2 years for the first release of tiger stripe Wolverine

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

That’s going to be a busy few days for me. 3 Mafex releases, 2 SHF releases, and a Soul of Chogokin one as well. My wallet may never recover

[@removebeforeflightgamingth9923]

Hey can you ask your friends at medicom when Miles 092 will be re-released and brown suit Wolverine?

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

I ask every time and they don’t know

[@anthonyjimenez312]

How are we looking for Luke Skywalker release in U.S

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Definitely 2025 if from BBTS

[@lucasmuniz9766]

I don't speak English so I didn't understand, can someone tell me what he said please? I'll translate it into my language later, I want to know about Spider-Man Tobey Maguire, is it still coming out this month?

[@UnwantedOpinion01]

Unfortunately Tobey is not coming out this month, maybe next month.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Thank you

[@lucasmuniz9766]

@@KaijuDaddyJapan thanks man

[@lucasmuniz9766]

@UnwantedOpinion01 oh man, sad then, I was looking forward to seeing reviews of it to find out if it is better in quality than the S.H Figuarts version, and it's still a "maybe" next month, complicated, but thank you my friend

[@sneakyfigures]

@@lucasmuniz9766hopefully we get Tobey next month 🙏🏻

[@dacollector4452]

We need brown suit unmasked/masked Wolverine

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Camo suit

[@danielcraig9666]

Maybe it hasn't quite arrived yet but HLJ just charged me for Iron Man.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Nice

[@danielcraig9666]

@KaijuDaddyJapan Ah dang, looks like they're going to wait until Monday to ship anyway.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

That’s usually the case. I probably won’t have a review of the figure until Sunday if at all. Very busy weekend for me at the moment.

[@danielcraig9666]

Outside of paint and less accessories the figure is exactly the same as the first one.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

@@danielcraig9666 ahhh good to know. Thanks

[@matthewwolfe6848]

Bummer...I guess we will never get an accurate Stealth Suit Iron Man.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Keep hope alive

[@HuskyzNToyz]

Did they tell you anything about Black Adam?

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Last time we talked they said he’s been extremely delayed

[@AbekasWorld]

Nooo not my tobey figure 🥺🥺🥺

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

I’m afraid so

[@seeayyell]

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

👍

[@clarkeant]

Great post as usual. What Medicom doesn’t realize is that people were most excited about the brand when it was a bit more exclusive. Especially for collectors who bought in early. I’m not mad at reissues but for example SM 075 hade multiple variations on the figure which made the original still unique and updates appreciated. Their reissues is going to drive their stock down especially when there are multiple in the same year while we are still waiting for Deadpool, brown Wolverine, comic Miles, etc.

[@KaijuDaddyJapan]

Waaaaaaay too many of the wrong reissues

[@BLCKNR]

Exclusivity is a cancer for collecting.

[@danielcraig9666]

As a Mafex collector I absolutely do not care about exclusivity at all.

[@clarkeant]

@@KaijuDaddyJapanabsolutely way too many reissues

[@clarkeant]

And over reissuing takes the value out of the figure and pushes back production for newer ones
