Medicom Mafex 096 X-Men: Wolverine Review

[@iceman4121]

Almost bought this yesterday, glad I watched this review. One thing I can’t stand are figures that disintegrate as you play with them, always been a huge problem with mafex sadly. Nice review, thanks!

[@jegetasaiyan7326]

This is such a great looking figure but those arms seem to pop off pretty easily. Dropping $100 on a figure with QC issues is kinda scary

[@darkman4747]

Yeah if you pay that the figure should be perfect

[@ghostofzabis]

I got a venom and his arm keeps popping off. :(

[@jegetasaiyan7326]

Darkman Or at least close to it. I can overlook a little paint rub but I like to play with my figures so trying to pose him and having his arms coming off all the time is going to be frustrating beyond belief

[@jegetasaiyan7326]

Steve Sanders it sucks because I was so looking forward to him and Cyclops. Especially since this figure was so delayed you’d think those guys would have things good to go. Disappointing

[@ghostofzabis]

@@steve9021oh Yeah, Mafex one.

[@graefx]

Nice thing with Mafex is they seem really good about making enough for demand and being generous on second runs and rereleases. Dont let scalpers get ya on Cyclops but I think hes still easily available

[@eightysixedreviews]

I don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned this before but DAMAZING’s reviews are all one take? I started noticing since you started posting your reviews on Instagram. Respect!!! That’s some some serious 1917 film making there! Not easy to do! Anyway love the review, love my wolverine too!

[@JHernandez]

THIS is why you're the first person on my list of subs.

[@rickyg.4004]

Cancelled my preorder personally. Claws are too long, Cowl is too big, blue stripes, too tall when compared to Mafex Spidey, Legs are too thin. Too many issues for the higher price point. That said it looks cool and happy for those that want it. I love the unmasked face sculpt personally.

[@Kitbats]

I found a 2nd hand figure for $50. I'd def buy it for this price.

[@ErndawormsGamingAndToys]

I think I found my replacement for the Revoltech Wolverine

[@daniel79tj]

Mafex are the best at capturing the comic looks, this one looks exactly like a Jim Lee Wolverine, the Spider-man and Venom look like Mark Bagley's art. Future Hush Batman and Superman figures also look like Lee. The DKR look like non sketchy versions of Millers art.

[@tvhead1679]

Nice review mate, mafex be killing our wallets tho lol.

The perfect Wolverine for a Marvel vs Capcom display has finally arrived!

[@nilssonharrison]

I have this pre ordered and it looks great, but do you own the revoltech Wolverine? That's the best Marvel vs Capcom version personally

[@cookedit]

Great minds think alike. Now if Mafex made a Apocalypse... THAT would make a for a perfect homage to a great game series

[@GreatHavok]

Try another toy line or stick to revoltech. You don't want to get disappointed for the second time around not finding the perfect wolverine for your Marvel vs Capcom display.

[@nilssonharrison]

@@GreatHavok I wasn't disappointed with the revoltech Wolverine in the 1st place. As far as Marvel is concerned, I collect Legends, Mezco, Figuarts, Mafex & Revoltech. Sticking to one is a not.

[@j.6455]

The Logan head looks great, and in general, I prefer these heads over the ML ones which have really pressed ears for some reason, but the super long claws kind of kill the figure for me. His claws should be about as long as his forearms because that’s where they are whenever he doesn’t have them out.

[@ReeceHoward06]

To be fair...a lot of artist during the era that this figure is based on did not illustrate his claws proprtions logically.

[@nhyar]

Medicom went really cheap with the accesories this time. They didn't even include an extra neck for the unmasked head for some reason.

[@ToyjaBoy]

Not sure but maybe they only include an extra neck when the necks have different colors?

[@nhyar]

@@ToyjaBoy That's why this Wolvie should come with an extra neck for when his mask is down. The thing rests completely under his face, he shouldn't have a yellow neck when his mask isn't on.

[@Zapdos97]

That drive me nuts. Ruins that option for me

[@cookedit]

@@Zapdos97 It is a small thing but hard to unsee once you notice it. Maybe my spare Dark Knight Bruce Wayne neck can solve the problem?

[@alexandersebastian1190]

Mafex should do Gambit Next

[@cookedit]

That is exactly what I am hoping for. Along with a Storm and the upcoming Cyclops that would be my X-Men team dream quartet from the 90's done.

[@paskuin7u7r45]

Now he's coming! I will buy it with the Wolverine brown suit ver., num num num delicious.

[@immortalsoulcreations2996]

Damn, mafex are killing it dude

[@Commander_Shepard.]

Yeah they really killed it...

[@blackcomicnerd3657]

I hope Mafex does a 80s brown costume version.

[@matthewradamanthys1902]

I'm really hoping to see Daredevil mafex quesada or Miller style.

[@horrorman2269]

Badass Wolverine! Reminds me of the old Adamantium Rage game.

[@theguardian3431]

Great review man! Mafex is technically a better figure. But for the price, I'm going with ML all the way.

[@nilssonharrison]

Why didn't you compare the revoltech wolverine to this one? I was waiting for it. Great video.

[@pilottheplot5850]

I’m trying to figure out what your outro music is and can’t found out what it is, it sounds like something from resident evil mercenaries but I think that’s just me.

[@nikkobor6254]

This is from Persona 5

[@pilottheplot5850]

@@nikkobor6254 what’s the song?

[@lago_figz]

Hopefully they make a comic paint app version to go with the spidey that's coming out. Those paint apps make the mafex figures different from the rest.

[@vincentvanbro475]

Do customizers ever make custom handsculpts?? I was hoping to get a hand to hold a samurai sword. Surprised they didn’t include that. Unless they’re planning that for the brown suit. Also I’m so so so happy with their choice of blue. I was super concerned that it was going to turn out more grey like Spider-Man’s blues.

[@romesrepublic]

Aside from the minor QC issues and height. This for me is the definitive 6in Wolverine action figure.

[@heeroyuy809]

the fastest and the quickest Toy Reviewer D-amazing sir! and the time spend my cash gessh this figure is OP

[@YoungIceMgk]

the figure is dope, some people are making it worse than what it is, the main problem is the arms thing but it is what it is, still getting one

[@ReeceHoward06]

I agree...kinda. The problem is the price point. The price doesn't justify the flaws. However, people are acting as if they wouldn't drop ML prices on it, that's where they are going too far. Especially when we've gotten more misses from Hasbro than hits.

[@GreatHavok]

It is really worse than what it is.

[@diegoprieto1156]

Mafex should make a Captain America figure with the classic costume.

[@caseysmith3329]

Appreciate the review D. I don’t think I can work past those QC issues and It still on the fence about his style. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@tigerfang2099]

When a part is loose like that in a figure i only add a small piece of paper to it that way the joint holds on to it.

[@datamag2018]

What a shame... Classic case of "coulda, woulda, shoulda..." I had this guy pre-ordered, had second thoughts and canceled it, was worried I was gonna miss out on great figure, now I feel much better! You were not manhandling that thing and he was coming apart like Magneto was in the background pulling on his bones! That's ridiculous for any figure, let alone one that cost that much. It's a really great looking figure, but those joint/engineering issues are unforgivable. Great review, really informed my purchase (or non purchase in this case!)

[@shockblast20]

@@MrRobCo He should care for spending 90$ on a figure that has QC issues dumbfuck.

[@benzi1521]

This was my first high end figure. Got it yesterday after trading in a bunch of old neca figures I had. I love it so much. Everything about it to me is perfect. But maybe as I get more I’ll notice some of the more specific “problems” these figures have.

[@Guy-mx4fb]

Where did you sell your Neca stuff

[@benzi1521]

Ernie P local comic shop. I would ask around at a few places before doing so. One place offered me 5-7$ per figure and the next offered me 15$ each with an extra 20$ if I took store credit

[@azmainzakaria2177]

For a $95 figure, the arms coming off like with ease should not be acceptable at all. Mafex really needs to fix this major QC issue

[@janitor8884]

"Major" you must be new if an arm coming off a fresh stiff figure is major.

[@Zapdos97]

Janitor when you’re posing a figure and having to put it back together, I would find that to be a major issue

[@BGLoscar]

@@janitor8884 Really? A fresh out of the box figure shouldn't be doing that bro... That doesn't even happen to Marvel Legends. Like the OP said, that should not be an issue for a figure that expensive. I let that joint issue slide with my MAFEX Joker 1.0 because I only spent $40 bucks on it ( through a local comic book store ). I almost bought this fig through HLJ. Thanks God I saw this review..

[@photomatt11]

You’re honestly the only reviewer that has mentioned the arm thing

[@kingranger9515]

Because most likely the other reviewers don't have that issue.

[@photomatt11]

KingRanger I actually received this figure in the mail yesterday and the arms did pop off a couple of times while I was posing it. But I’d honestly rather have something pop off than break off.

[@MrNiceKnife]

Nice group shot at the end.

[@CrimsinHavik]

Aesthetically, Mafex is killing it.

[@lilpuppet1992]

I just don't understand why everyone has such a hang up with the arms falling off. It's not like they're breaking. They just fall off, put them back on. I honestly don't see what the big issue is. I'd rather have it be loose then tight personally. Out of all the Wolverines that I have seen. This is by a wide, margin the best one. It just seems like such a minor issue for so many people to automatically pass up on such a great figure. I love mine.

[@Brainiac1209]

Look at that hair on his arms

[@johnn.3291]

2:22 “which is really really done pretty well” 😂

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Yours is one of the better one's I've seen but lots of people are having QC Issues and when your fig is near the £100 mark and it's a gamble whether or not your going to have any its a big fat PASS.

[@zenthenerdgamer4649]

"Don't let your cat chew it" - truth! This figure looks really sweet. Hopefully the arm issue isn't a widespread issue.

[@datamag2018]

Every review I've seen (3 or 4 of them) points out the arm issue, must be an engineering flaw with all of them....ouch!

[@Johnnyboy3074]

Damn, I wanted this figure but I'm getting tired of mafex qc issues. The deadpool legs were to stiff and the iron spider legs broke by just trying to pose em.

[@thewisecollector8909]

Love these reviews, dude! Incredible figure. Love Mafex

[@graefx]

Hope they do a weapon X/shirtless Logan in the future. My only criticism outside the claws looking a little ridiculous is I wish his thighs were thicker. It's a small nitpick but just the size difference between his thighs and biceps is distracting to me. I think the claws wouldn't be as noticable if they were a little bigger and spread out ala MvC looks. It's them being uniformly thin all the way and evenly spaced. It's a little too crisp and repetitious

[@matthewcharles8777]

That ryu fight!!!!!

[@xavierdavila4363]

Nice review, but Adam Kubert/Joe Quesada didn’t draw the ears on the mask that long. Nor does the unmasked head look like anything they’ve drawn.

[@fiercekrypton]

I hope they redo this with black tiger stripes and fixed arm and unmasked head joints.

[@shadowmosesmusic]

I love it but Mafex needs to stick to a scale - Spider-man (although passable) and Venom were a bit short, Black Panther was short , DeadPool was grail. This looks to be grail too. but you know Carnage will be short - Will Cyclops be on par?

[@kingranger9515]

What do you mean short? ...they have a scale of their own, they are not the beefy ML. These are Japanese products.

[@ramonwright2003]

Dope review,as always

[@vincentvanbro475]

Awesome review!! Would you recommend putting nail polish on the arm peg for a tighter fit? I’m not sure that it will bother me that much honestly- my mafex comic spidey’s leg falls off constantly and it’s not a big deal for me. As long as the joints aren’t breaking 😅 also, is it a hairdryer that you use to loosen joints?

[@efunaony6234]

Those blue stripes are just so why he could have been perfect he is awesome though
