Mafex Age of Apocalypse (kinda) Magneto Review!!! (Mafex Kills again!)

[@graefx]

My only hope is in the future we get a more bulky 90s Magneto. Jim Lee made him look like a linebacker.

[@thergstar2577]

I love this figure but damn, Mafex uses the same face on every figure!- lol it’s downright funny how so many diff figures have the same base face sculpt.

[@devante_topdawg491]

Best Magneto fig ever, marvel legends could never 🔥😤

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Yeah this thing is awesome. The legends looks more accurate to AOA but this figure is definitely better.

I love this figure sadly I had to prioritize other figures so I had to pass on him for now but I'm hoping to jump on him at some point, this review was beautifully shot, hes really camera friendly

[@seancabrera4256]

+1 on a Mafex Beast! Might have to pick this Magneto up after all smh. The blacked out head sculpt just does it for me. Well done 👏

[@ReeceHoward06]

Im going to say, you and others are both right AND wrong about the accuracy of this costume to the AoA storyline. This was his look in the earlier part of the story. The more popular bulky armor look came later.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Yeah I thought he had the look at the beginning but not for very long right ?

[@ReeceHoward06]

@@UnparalleledUniverse Yessir! The look that Marvel Legends went for came later, and even that one isn't 100% accurate since it had the purple trunks too in the comics.

[@MattKayser]

It seems to me that a lot of the AOA looks were at least someone up to interpretation by the artists. They were all close to being on model, but there were definitely variations here and there.

[@rcb20091]

thanks for reviewing I couldn't find a review for this specific mares magneto figure. I appreciate it just bought it for 77 on sale and ilm so hyped.

[@prescribeddrone]

Damnit, now I'm considering this. I wasn't gonna get this cause I'm okay with the Mezco and it isn't the classic look to make me wanna go import price, but he looks great with that blacked out head. The was one of my favorite looks for him. Add a purple cape and blacked out face and boom. And I think.... the Old Man Hawkeye head would look great on this.

[@jarellano1014]

I can't wait for Pyslocke!!!😍

[@Chalor.]

The other difference is the lack of purple trunks, just the belt, with the other AoA design. But the look Mafex went with is AoA comic accurate. It's not as iconic, but they were drawn like this as well.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Yeah I thought so but it’s definitely not the iconic aoa look

[@Chalor.]

@@UnparalleledUniverse Glad they went with this since the Legends has the quintessential AoA look. Just in case (like you mentioned), if they never make one/it'll take forever to come out, I can always pop a custom purple cape on. Maybe paint the helmet emblem too. Just opened my Gambit, and good lord it's _amazing_ and fun! I don't even play around with figures like that, but the smell alone of it gets me excited.

[@Chalor.]

Here comes those OG paragraphs I used to leave you lol. With what you mentioned on the live, I never thought you needed to reply to all that.

I do wish this was a 90's Jim Lee version though. If someone came out with a nice purple cape, it wouldn't be that hard of a kitbash. We have enough extra heads from mezco and the family matters 3 pack

[@darinencallado6003]

I think Mafex does a really good job with it's head sculpts.👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheMattTrakker]

You're far more forgiving of a $100 figure than I'd be. Pre-ordered the regular Magneto we all knew was coming after this one, hopefully they've improved

[@soumyadeepbanerjee964]

Agreed, the paint on the wrists and Legs is not acceptable at this price point.

[@brianmacfarlane9553]

Awesome review as always UU!!! Especially loved all the different head swaps, so many options is right.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone made a purple cape for him it’d be super easy to make this a classic Magneto

[@jamesbrooks5391]

[@joserodriguez2255]

This Magneto is awesome I reviewed it too. Unfortunately some Mafex figures come with small imperfections. So yea sorry to hears your came out that way. But on the bright side I also have the Mafex Gambit which I reviewed as well and I must say. Daaaaamn Good Figure! Honestly it's probably going to be my number 1 figure of the year, that's how good it is.

[@Radioactive457]

Why did you stop uploading

[@shadowfury2030]

Great review. I passed on the figure though it does seem like an solid release. I always thought it was so random they decided to go with the AOA design, I mean yeah, they can re-release a classic Magneto down the line, but considering their initial releases were Uncanny X-Men designs this is a weird decision to make Magneto from a different timeline.

[@cmbrock1]

To be fair it’s technically not a 90 dollar figure. It’s a around the 70 dollar amount if you were to pick it up straight from the source. The import and shipping fees is what makes the price go up. On AmiAmi the figure cost 68.84 with shipping it’ll be about 80 if not a little less with the fastest shipping.

[@PlastiAdicto]

That’s fair to a point. Because domestic figures when you pick them up at the store … that price also includes distribution cost and shippings and nobody is saying a marvel legends is not technically 22 bucks but 17 … so

[@diegolaradiaz8948]

[@RetroTube1982]

I'm sure it's not 100% AoA because they're going to reuse the arms and legs for a classic Magneto. They re-make the same character a lot. We've gotten a ton Batman and Spider-Man figures. Even with the X-Men you showed, they've also got a brown suite Wolverine and an X-Factor Cyclops. So I'm sure a classic Magneto is coming eventually. This figure does look awesome. But for the price, I'll wait for the MAFEX classic version and just use the Family Matters Marvel Legend for now.

[@trepic8058]

[@cdubbart]

The more I look at this figure the more I feel this design was chosen deliberately by Mafex. I think they plan on releasing a classic Jim Lee Magneto very soon, using the majority of this mold. They have to know the more armored Magneto design is more evocative of the AOA storyline. Choosing a design so similar to the classic look had to be a calculated decision to save on mold costs.

[@elweb30]

[@cookedit]

Mafex can be pricey and Mezco definitely have better QC although they too still have a few duds, but keep in mind, Mafex are a Japanese company and the added price is down to sellers mark ups and import shipping. In Asia it would be the other way around. You might not agree with this figure, but Mafex's Spider-Man's (especially in articulation) are definitely superior to Mezco's. Besides some people have a preference for plastic rather than a fully soft clothes figure. And Mafex undoubtedly do the most iconic Marvel and DC comicbook design and storyline figures at this moment.

[@legouniverse2276]

@@cookedit i love mezco cause of their cloth tbh but the articulation sometimes are trash. Like the harley and joker are very bad. But i hate when mezco uses pleather. Pleather always flake .
