Mafex Psylocke: My thoughts

[@thedrunkenprime9374]

Appreciate this. Saved me $90 on that rerelease. Appreciate the review! Gonna just stick with my marvel select. $25 and does most of what I need

I love the stoic face of the Mafex but that's about it versus the revoltech. Thanks for the vid. You nailed it, especially with everything I had thought. The poses you did with the revoltech were also amazing

I almost bought this figure but I feel the Revoltech Psylocke is better.The Mafex one isn't too bad but I wasn't sold on the face.

The photos of the Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive characters make me want figures of these franchises.

Me too. Its crazy that most fighting games, especially the greats like Tekken and KOF don't have dedicated lines yet. Meanwhile shit like fortnite is being handled by 3 different companies.

If anyone, I'm guessing Storm Collectibles? If, so, I'd probably bite.

Really went in depths with this review. Sticking with my revoltech one and selling the mafex.

HOLY FLEX Batman! 😆 You really highlighted the deficiencies in mafex's character design here. Certainly not one of their best efforts and I am glad I spotted this early enough. I've felt similar to a few of their figs recently like Joker for example.. The articulation on Joker is horrendous for a mafex, and if the articulation is sub par what are we paying the extra p's for? Some of the paint application has been filthy too and they deserve to be called out on it for the prices they offer. Mafex are definitely a polarizing company for me. Some of them work real good, others drop the ball like this. But good to be aware. Thanks Brother. 🙏💚🔥🧙‍♂🌈

Before someone mentions it, I was having issues with my mic so pardon the parts with the weird audio.

Very thorough and honest review. I found myself thinking that the figure itself didn't seem to live up to the praise others have heaped on it. The linear proportions were the first thing that really stood out to me -- not only does it not feel true to the character, but it completely ignores the importance of a functionally powerful aesthetic for female warriors. Too often we're fed overly thin female physiques that reflect a very specific standard of beauty, and so we end up with heroines who look more like models than fighters. Psylocke always stood out because she was drawn in a way that communicated serious threat and significant sex appeal. That's lost here. Appreciate the good work as always.

I wasn't really impressed with this figure. This isn't the ultimate Psylocke imo.

Revoltech has indeed the best articulation by far… nothing to argue… but I just don’t like at all Psylocke’s face… it looks so poorly executed, it’s like looking at a bootleg figure. Face sculpt aside I do think it looks and posses better than the Mafex one.
