I only had this figure for a week. It came with a paint chip under the shoulder joint and eventually grew bigger the more I pose him around. It's actually so disheartening because this was my first mafex figure and ive been very careful with him but man it just sucks.

These colors turn an already great figure into the best comic spider-man figure imo. The headsculpts while reused are still great and with Romita esque heads he is the best classic spidey for me. The sentinel does rival it but in terms of pure comic spider-men this is the best imo. (Plus with the bagley heads he is a pure mvc spidey based on the in-game sprites imo)

@TheRealMoeru4 ай бұрын
@@JoshHill-jt7zv nah not really. mcfarlane spidey has a distinct flatter head and iconic points near the middle of his mask from the eyes with the black and white of the eyes pointing up. Early 90's bagley spidey didn't really have this and if you compare art from back then and the headsculpts from this figure it's a dead on match

I think the reason for paint rub on this one aside from maybe not putting a clear coat is probably because of the matte paint, I heard from customizer that matte paint is less durable compared to glossy/metallic paints.

My first Mafex that I bought only a month ago (Carnage re-issue) came with a massive bit of paint missing in one of the eyes, plus the black paint rubs of on the face too. I can also see that the black line work on your new spidey has rubed off also on the chest. Not a happy first time customer here.

The figure is amazing, its just that I've always found his head to look really big, kinda baloonish imo. And i do prefer the smaller eyes as opposed to the huge ones, but just like how u did when u swapped it with the NWH Integrated suit head, it'll look perfect imo

My reissue of the 075 had paint rubbing/chipping off in the inner thighs and my original 075 had the same problem but in the armpit area so I’m not really to surprised with paint rubbing/chipping off on this one except for that lower back/upper butt area which i thought was weird but it’s mafex 😂

I have paint chipping on a couple MAFEX figures, it’s the nature of frequent posing over time- it’s off putting on this release though since it’s happened so soon and so easily whereas other figures I didn’t really have it happen right away

Sadly yes, it got bad enough I decided to just repaint certain portions to be more paint-chip proof… I’m not sure if this is a universal issue though, I haven’t seen too many others report the same problem, so maybe it’s a hit or miss thing

I think it's really cool, I ordered the 075 version wich you also showed in this video. I probably will buy the 185 version a.k.a the classic costume version aswell in the future idk when but I'm planning to. The only real personal downside for me is that I think the paint job should be better like perhaps better paint that stays longer or better and doesn't smudges sometimes... But overall I think it's one of the most perfect spider-man action figures def top 3 and I'd still buy these. I watched a TON of reviews with most of em praising it very much so yeah thx for the insight man. Though I think the problems aren't universal and depends on your luck and how they did yours, some have the same problems and some not at all but I hope mine doesn't, that's what would turn me off the most and I'll probably won't move mine to much.

I maintain it’s some weird error at the design level where they just mixed them up and now it’s set this way… I don’t really see why they would deliberately have the musculature distorted that way, and the costume not quite aligned correctly
@spoodurmin9742 Жыл бұрын
@@SpoonDude The musculature seems fine since front and side delts tend to have more striations and jut out more due to generally having more development, the costume definitely is misaligned though. To me it seems like Mafex wanted the shoulders to be anatomically correct but were too lazy to resculpt the lines.
