CT Toys Wolverine MAFEX MedicomToy

[@arthurwilliamsiii8957]

The original Mafex Wolverine fetches up to $400 on ebay......so who's really getting ripped off? hat's off to CT toys for showing the masses that these prices for figs today are totally insane. this move sabotages scalpers, and I love it. scalpers are the main reason you can rarely walk into a target or walmart and find the secret wars figs on the pegs like in the old days.

[@DesignIncase]

CT Toy's didn't make a Mafex like figure. They took the Mafex figure and made a mold from it. They tried to duplicate the paint apps and box design. They didn't do a lot of of the costly work Medicom did. The figure is not possible without the figs with those totally insane prices, Now it does tell me Hasbro (especially Mcfarlane Toys) should do better. Scalpers aren't the reason you have difficulty finding figures now. It's those companies not ordering figures to put on the pegs. But during the Pandemic, scalpers were surely a problem. Though this bubble is popping. Also in this particular case. Mafex Brown Suit Wolverine was plentiful when it came out. Moreso a low supply at this point. But prices for tiger stripe and others nose dived when rereleases happened.

[@nanatsuyo3864]

As of mafex won’t restock this one at some point.

[@dailove3]

Sir, your argument on how they made the bootleg, is not the point I was making. I've been collecting action figures since the early 80's, I've seen the ups and downs .back when you could walk into Walmart only looking for some socks, and run into a whole line of figures. I like how arrogantly your telling me scalpers aren't the reason we can't find figures. When I literally catch these guys in the target ilse talking on there cell phones telling a client he's buying all that they have of the 97 Xmen wave. When pre orders of the latest figs sellout before your finger can push "add to cart"...scalpers have bots set on auto my boi. So my point was to say I'm glad the real collectors could get a win. Collecting should be fun. Oh and companies not putting enough product out..you must not have a Ollie's store in your area because the truth to your statement will fall short there.

[@kingcold5634]

If your against what this guy is saying your a scalper

[@suhtangwong]

Sounds like a mafex fan-boy, try not to be bias and just logical 🤷‍♂️ ​@@DesignIncase

[@kakashisan4072]

CT toys is just a god sent to collectors! Screw scalpers and resellers.

[@AnotherNickYT]

Really like the new edits, Shart. Pro tip: J cuts. J cuts make videos flow so much better.

[@bricynbryanmadarang9189]

There are also boot swivels on the CT toys version

[@l.p.5703]

I hope they keep making knock offs. The Mafex figures sell for so much and the quality is not always great. I’m still pissed about the paint aps on Jean’s cowl 😂

[@manofsteel3396]

I'm totally pleased with the CT toys version! I wish Mafex's version was this smaller scale, it's perfect for Wolverine!

[@reggiebrown9508]

There people willing to buy the Mafex version (like me) but Mafex has yet to reissue it so many will get this, and I'm 90% sure i will if Mafex doesn't reissue the official one by February. I'd get the KO than pay $250+.

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

I tried to order the CT and my order was cancelled a couple of days before it was supposed to be delivered. I am taking that as a sign to keep on waiting for a Mafex reissue, but if that still has not happened within the next few months I may take another crack at getting this.

[@sik7476]

Im not 100% sure how CT is getting away with this, but I am in NO way opposed! Ive seen reviews of CT figures and its just a good example of how other import companies are ripping us off. I mean, NO, CT is not QUITE as good as mafex, but the price difference COMPLETELY justifies the compromise in quantity. I think Im going to start buying CT exclusively (in replacement of mafex anyways). Sik

[@darth_batman8190]

I should be getting this figure shortly as well. I ordered the Black Suit Spider-Man from AliExpress and was pleasantly surprised. I was really impressed with the stand and find it better than the actual MaFex stands. Great review as always. Happy Holidays Shartimus.

[@Tubemint455]

Hey I both also! Both are awesome! I also picked up the black agent venom yamaguchi that’s coming in. I hope it’s good and updated joints!

[@slicksterofstyle9161]

Mine should be here tomorrow. If I get a good copy and I’m as impressed as everyone else, I’m going to order an Agent Venom and maybe Symbiote Spidey.

[@manofsteel3396]

I have the Black suit Spidey, and you won't be disappointed. He's a bit smaller than Mafex, but it's still 👍

[@SWIFT_NINJA47]

Were the exact opposite i have agent venom and symbiote spider and spider plan on getting wolverine. Also those two figures are my only ct toys and I love them

[@daquest100]

I have both... CT agent venom and CT Wolverine. Both figures are impressive and worth the 20 dollar shipped I paid to get them. Just make sure that you're getting the CT versions. Aliexpress has sellers that selling bootlegs of bootlegs. They rival the quality of what we pay 25-30 dollars for. I recommend both. I have mafex steel azreal and gambit. I can feel the difference in the quality but that difference doesn't add up to the price gap.

[@slicksterofstyle9161]

@@SWIFT_NINJA47 Got him. Wow. Perfect paint and sculpt. No issues so far that I can find. I actually meant I was going to get Agent ANTI Venom (love that pearlescent white) but now I’m thinking about both as well as Agent Venom.

[@RickJMe]

Great video Shart! You and jobby are the funniest toy reviewers!

[@Crooklynmike]

Got my CT toys Wolvie and mine was damn near perfect. No QC issues at all. Seams and joints were perfect and scaled well with all my Marvel legends. Got mine for 9 bucks! Took a while to come but well worth it!

[@Voolee2196]

Way better than Hasbro still. For this pricepoint, this figure is just perfect

[@eligamerman]

CT toys is one of the best things to happen fr 🔥

[@MrHemanclix]

Thanks Shart! I was on the fence about getting this one, well hanging on by my toenails, but I just bought it. it will be the closest I have come to a real MAFEX figure. I have one Bandai figure and the difference to ML is incredible. I'm really looking forward to this thanks again!

[@MrAlexEart]

The only real downside of this CT KO is the aftermarket value, which it doesn't have much of due to being a bootleg. BUT! If you are looking for a Brown suit Wolverine to have fun fiddling with, this is definitely worth picking up!

[@rapidoodsdoodles]

I will still buy the reissue if mafex ever do it but for now CT Toys is a good alternative and also good for custom. But tbh this ct wolvie height is what attracts me more than the Mafex because this how wolverine should scale.

[@alexanderfields9504]

Love these types of videos by you Mr shart

[@FrozenVibraniumProductions]

Been meaning to pick this one up!! Thanks for the review Shart 🤙

[@Nikson_the_Marvel_Fan]

As you can see, CT Toys can make good quality bootlegs. I see some potential in them ;)

[@fhaithful]

didn’t expect this one, this is exciting

[@AlirezaT.H]

More CT pls

[@FREKKI]

I think, if they took what they learned about figures and made their own stuff it’d be really cool. It would be amazing to get some good ‘not Marvel’ figures at that price point of characters that deserve this treatment. I.E. Nightcrawler, Beast, Tigra etc.

[@dave52g]

Agree with the stand. Its a really decent.

[@jessesanchez1752]

awesome vid shart. keep it up !!

[@Chuii82]

Review the anti venom figure, that one is awesome

[@stopmotionfilms4121]

I just recently got mine but it came without his claws and i was disappointed. The figure itself is great but what’s wolverine without his main attribute. Does anyone have any suggestions for what i could do to replace the claws?

[@felipemendesalves7274]

unfortunately you have to refund and buy again.

[@megagrey]

VERY VERY tempting, as the brown-suit Wolverine was the only other Mafex fig I've wanted once I got hold of Knightfall Bane.

[@joseorjuela6897]

Got mine last night and it’s great.

[@TheMarvelGuy357]

I still love these videos

[@SuperFigures-ql2dv]

I got the tiger stripe version and i'm super hype for him to arrive

[@DoodleFigure]

I really enjoyed your editing for this video!! I've been a big fan since 2013, and man, for some reason, it took me back there. You even got me chuckling at a couple of those quick edit gags! Thanks for being an inspiration for me! You not only got me collecting, but you were part of the reason I started my channel. Keep goin' Legendary Collector!

[@DesignIncase]

I don't like how we got here but it's a darn fine figure for its price point and design. If Medicom had rereleased the figure, I would have purchased it. Right now the Mafex figure is not available for purchase at MSRP. All the issues with the figure I think most of us have exactly or in some form. Now everyone should start to see why costs go up so those issues are minimized.

[@joseorjuela6897]

I respect this guy, but I also just got mine and I love it. But he was rough enough with it to pop off the abdomen?

[@NavidQurei]

Beautiful collection likes your channel kislux

[@thepsxr]

Anyway to tell if that metal pin has lead in it? I've been hearing ct toys has possibly had an issue with the paint being poisonous or something. Hence why I've helf off getting any of their items.

[@ShartimusPrime]

You just encouraged me to buy a lead-test kit. $6 on amazon, I’ll probably post a short about it later.

[@thepsxr]

@@ShartimusPrime Tends to be common at times in knockoffs, but better to be safe than sorry. Hoping they don't have any hazards as ct toys definitely makes some amazing stuff for an affordable budget.

[@DesignIncase]

All I've heard are people repeated the exact same thing. That Knock offs (generalized not CT Toys specific) might contain lead in the paint or plastic. The warnings you might see on Ali Express. Even Hasbro would trigger them. CA laws about reporting paints and potentially other hazardous chemicals with significant exposure. I have yet to see anyone present the results of a test that state CT Toys figures contain lead. The problem with the consumer lead testing kits is they are prone to false positives/negatives. Basically unreliable. Now the thing about lead in toys. Little kids put them in their mouths and play with them in the bath. Adults are more likely to have less physical interaction. So I can't confirm CT Toy's don't have lead, but I can't confirm any reports that they do. These are of course things a legitimate company would have to confirm which also adds to the costs.

[@namorfreeman8999]

They don't have lead, I've seen other videos and shorts that use a lead test on one of the CT Toys products like the Mafex Symbiote Spiderman and no lead detected on that.

[@Adamkilla9000]

I spent $300 on the original Mafex one

[@Legose06]

Why, just why

[@nanatsuyo3864]

You know that saying about fools and money. Why would anyone spend that much when mafex has a habit of restocking popular figures…

[@alexanderfields9504]

Actually would love a video like this for the other CT toys figures if you end up getting any other

[@dave52g]

You should try CT toys agent venom.

[@Gambit2149]

Awesome review🔥🔥

[@mikey9906]

Are the claws a harder plastic or are they a more rubbery plastic like ML?

[@MAGToysandGuitars]

First youtuber that think the same about the stand dude, it’s better and more functional the ct toys than the original Mafex

[@Kandoken]

Miss the days when MAFEX figures were $60.

[@stjecat]

Be nice if the did some if the DC stuff. May have to get that.

[@RagingRobo]

What happened to the Shartimus prime intro song 😭 bring it back? Pretty please

[@witchofchaos]

if u can how much is your whole collection but just the action figures no comics

[@yazminsanchez-wheeler3513]

Cool figure bub

[@joseavenia3634]

I was able to get ct. Brown wolverine . It amazing mafex lots their by not reiisuing the brown wolverine.

[@gaminuz0191]

CT toys is just a better alternative than marvel legends and i can't wait to get more

[@caseysmith3329]

The CT Toys not Revoltech Agent Venom and Agent Anti-Venom are even better!

[@mrgrudge5856]

I recognise those display stands there Bandai Tamashii Stage Act 4 stands I have a bunch of them. Also, the figure doesn’t look bad for the price.

[@JhonielDiazdiaz]

A long time ago, I bought a fake LV luggage bag at the airport and was taken home on the conveyor belt by a fellow passenger. But I bought these fake bags from kislux , so I don’t care if they are lost.

[@Lonzology]

Its soo good that i bought two copies

[@bladerj]

look at the tights, its squished, i noticed, the older venom ko also had squished tights. why ? they copied everyone else right

[@jonathanmills7329]

Mines butter smooth to pose after some lube lol, did a bit of paint work on him and now he's proper awesome, my official Magneto which ive messed with less due to him being on a flight stand has looser legs/Ankles than this Wolvie

[@MythicalMimikyu]

Whats the lore with Hulk smashing BTLD Spider-Man? I feel like i've seen it happen multiple times when Wolverine is involved

[@usuck1883]

NO regular action figure should realistically cost more than $40…

[@EpykkDyzastur]

Unfortunately, Hasbro holds the master license on the Marvel 1/12 market and per their contract, it’s stated that retailers outside of Asia and certain countries are not allowed to price non-Hasbro 1/12 figures for less than a certain amount. I think it was $80/$90 something, I don’t remember. If you buy MAFEX from HLJ, AmiAmi, Hobby Genki or such places, the prices before shipping will be substantially lower. Not $40… but much lower than $80.

[@usuck1883]

@ Gotta love ‘greedflation’! If you think about it, toys/action figures (the adult collectible ones) are essentially pretty cool looking paper weight 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MarlerDunshee]

But the question is, is the real thing worth a few thousand dollars more than a kislux fake? To me, given the lack of lustre quality of modern luxury goods, it really isn't.

[@brandonpantoja3830]

Jobbythehong reference???

[@drae1976]

It’s just proof that we’re getting dragged for figures. 100.00 for a 1/12 scale figure is just wrong.

[@MythicalMimikyu]

My CT Sym Spiderman looks and feels awful but my Spiderman 2099 and Wolverine are so good

[@youtmeme]

why don't they make a more comic accurate, i.e. height wolverine? 🤔

[@suhtangwong]

If CT Toys can make it for only $20. Why are we paying hundreds for Mafex? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@tombowling8646]

I'm not allowed to buy knockoffs like the cool kids.

[@PUNKEYE1]

I got the bootleg comic spider-man and the arm comes off at the butterfly joint. I also got the shf amazing spider man for the andrew garfield head sculpt that didn't come with the original. I didn't feel bad about getting it because I already had the original wwhen i did get it.

[@imnotsickler]

You managed to get far and away the worst QC I've seen on these figures. Also looks like you got one late in the mold use. Mine is near indistinguishable from the real thing.

[@badfoody]

CT Toys is really poorly made but great for a painting project

[@bendarling3925]

Proof that toy companies are exploiting consumers. Not new, but our impatience and FOMO is what gives the MAN our hard earned money. CT toys are great. Good for them.

[@xmini-ul7je]

WHO'S WILLING TO PAY MORE THAN 25/30dlls FOR A PIECE OF PLASTIC (NO MATTER HOW THEY LOOK)???, certainly, NOT ME!!!, paying more than that is a scam!, this CT Toys figure exposes how certain brands scam us, cause Mafex's figures should be cheaper and Hasbro's should be better (huge heads, low and small shoulders, repeating moulds, etc), cause seeing this CT one makes me think that Hasbro's ones should cost around 5 to 10dlls, complaining about bootlegs only benefits expensive (Mafex) and lame (Hasbro) products in order to keep making those figures and continuing the scamming, AVE MARIA PURISSIMA, SINE LABE CONCEPTA, CHRISTUS VINCIT, CHRISTUS IMPERAT.

[@VicFettOfficial]

⁠@@hardveersangha6587well first of all they are most likely cancerous except this is unknown because they haven’t been out long enough to see if they cause cancer but another reason is that they aren’t always just a cheap alternative because a good amount of people buying from ct is to compare to the originals another reason is that they are made cheaper and if your not an adult your probably not gonna be able to afford a Mafex and kids don’t always know how to properly play with Mafex figures and since ct toys are made cheaper a kid might break it in seconds and that should be their target audience.
