[Special English Review] Mafex 096 Wolverine Original VS Reissue Comparison

[@zenquantum1246]

This raises my hopes for the quality of a possible brown suit re-release 🤞🤞

[@Spartacus_md]

Nice review! Very insightful sir Jerome since I have the OG, I also tried pulling the deltoids off the body but with no success. Seeing that the socket was on the armpit on the re-issue I might try again to pop the deltoids off. Thanks again and more reviews especially Mafex

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Ooh thanks also my boi for confirming about the OG's unattachable bfly joint. Really scary to remove without any heating application ryt? 😅

[@Spartacus_md]

Will not remove it anymore kajaporms 😅@@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma

[@jthegrind]

Re-issue looks better imo

[@DaGooeyGuy]

It’s basically the same case as the 075 Spider-Man, the reissue’s colors now look identical to how they looked in the promo images, and the original’s colors for some reason weren’t accurate to the promo images

[@Vthesamurai]

The hair on the arms of the reissue is darker more detailed. I might have to get this reissue. I have the original release Tiger stripe. Plus the joints seem to be fixed also.

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Go hunt for a reissue! 🙌🤜

[@Choom89]

Where can this even be found now? Changes like this drive me nuts because I definitely agree about the arms being improved.

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

For me, top options are (1)Get from ur local sellers who have strong connections with a/their suppliers to secure a piece (2)Like what I did, direct purchase then import from HK or Jap online stores. Mine was thru HobbySearch Japan. Though with this method, u fight for a stock given it's an online store.

Watching at x2 speed gang. Lmao

[@EnriquerRada]

Nice review, its make easier swallow that $109 bbts pill, the only place i can get it.

[@DaGooeyGuy]

So are the colors exactly the same on both or are the reissue’s colors slightly darker, I don’t know if it’s the lighting but to me the original’s colors look a little more vibrant and brighter but then in some other angles they look nearly identical, so can you tell me if the colors are and look same or not since you have them both in person

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Reissue slightly darker mainly in yellow and skin but blue is more metallic and vibrant

[@td19589]

can you take the arm apart at the bicep to see what they did differently to make it stop popping off? probably the only thing I am most interested about.

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Don't wanna mess also my reissue with this check. But with the OG's, u may check the details thru Fwoosh review or with DCSG carnage. Once u saw it, u can understand that I can say reissue has fixed that issue

[@ellefrancisco]

The reissue is given a better room for the butterfly joints to work well sacrificing the stripe aesthetic. What could have been done is to paint the obvious extra yellow so every time the joints move it wont destroy the look of the blue stripe. I really don’t mind, just think of it like it’s an AY Wolvie better but ugly af articulation 😂

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Exactly the case 😉😅

[@seeayyell]

like and subbed 🤜

[@rafaelmunhoz9469]

Is the new better than?

[@Ivaka12]

On the box, how do we distinguish whether it is reissue or the original?

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Hand accessories are facing downwards with pairing peg. This has mostly became the distinguisher for reissues

[@dreezerz6688]

How to know the difference by just looking at the box??

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Hand accessories are facing downwards with pairing peg

[@Onn325]

Do you know when venom will reissued

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

In Japan I know in stores it's already up for sale. Amiami already posted a sale yesterday Wednesday. Soon other JP online stores should post a sale too. But I will pass with this coz I already have the OG and the 1st reissue so no plans anymore in getting a third copy 😅

[@SaiyanPoy]

Are you able to make a comparison video of the OG and the reissue? 😊

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

@@SaiyanPoy planning to do this with all my marvel reissues but not so soon :)

[@danielcraig9666]

The stripes are still not the correct black that they should be.

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Yep true and I didn't like it at first. But when I learned that this art style is based from another comic style along with all mafex's x-men figs, it became fine with me 😀

[@danielcraig9666]

@@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma What other comic style?

[@rafaelcantero94]

@@danielcraig9666in alot of the comics the black stripes are blue, I’m assuming it’s their way of shading or showing that there’s a shadow. Idk if that’s why Mafex decided to paint them blue because they are originally black 😂 if that is the reason why then it’s weird they decided to go with the shaded stripes instead of original

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

@@danielcraig9666 I think all the classic suit x-men figs but for sure Wolvie, Cyclops, Psylocke, Gambit & Storm. Just search Jim Lee comics, the figs' art are based there exactly.

[@danielcraig9666]

@@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma I have all of the books by JimnLee, his stripes are black.

[@artofgarduno]

The under wear looks longer on the new one.

[@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma]

Ah yep, didn't notice this. But now I checked, it's the same. It's just that with my og, the belt's much pushed downward only as this is a separate plastic piece making to look like undies is longer with the reissue 😅

[@artofgarduno]

@@KoleksiyonniJeromeMaporma oh ok lol

[@s2knightryder]

Yea the belt is riding up on the reissue.
