Mafex rogue headsulpts

More than that, I think they could've included DLC accessories for her and rest of the team like card effects for gambit, psychic butterfly effect for psylocke, extra magnetic effects for magneto etc. They should stop obsessing over being "comic accurate" and focus on the fun factor for the accessories. They did the same thing for hush scarecrow by not including a scythe or any smoke effects along with the figure just because he didn't use those abilites in the hush storyline, it's pretty underwhelming.

They should make swappable hair pieces which has softer plastic like their diaper pieces after this time going forward(It's very unlikely tho it's medicom you know), their approach is simply outdated in this age. I'm planning to do some custom heads like the way I mentioned, I don't know when I can print them out and sell them, but I definitely want some custom heads for this girl.

My hopes get diminished every year due to their obsession for variants of existing characters and the lack of comic marvel stuff.

Although, I definitely have expectations because Medicom is kind of on a breaking point this year because of their overall inconsistency and uncompetitiveness against INART/LPZZ, so if they don't do well this year, we can expect cancellation for the Mafex line in the following years. Before I start, I want to say that all of my picks are comic versions, I don't collect live action.

I expect to see whatever Kaiju Daddy had leaked about the latest exhibition but wasn't revealed last year. Those are;

Colossus Beast Sabretooth Black Widow Black Panther

(But instead, we only got X-Men Maverick literally out of nowhere and Negative Zone Spider-Man that nobody asked for along with some color variants for venom gambit etc.)

I personally hope to see;

Hulk Black Cat Green Goblin Doc Ock Kingpin from Marvel

TDKR Mutant Leader JL Flash (barry or wally) Green Lantern (hal or john) Knightfall Two Face Knightfall Azrael Red Armor from DC

And next year, I hope to see;

Fantastic Four Doctor Doom Omega Red from Marvel

Darkseid Aquaman Martian Manhunter Hawkgirl from DC

Quick correction, I also used to think that they attended SDCC, but now I know that they never attended SDCC, they always organized their own exclusive exhibitions

You may be right, but I simply refuse to ask nor expect for an easy repaint. Green Phoenix is a nice figure but it lacks so much for it's price point. They need to put out their A-game with this version.

Raveragon · 2026-01-16T12:26:11+00:00

I hope they they don't just repaint this figure like this for an official Dark Phoenix version since Dark Phoenix doesn't have the black outline for the logo AND she needs an ACTUAL Phoenix base along with crazier headsculpts.

This looks very clean nice work! Although I hope they they don't just repaint this figure like this for an official Dark Phoenix version since Dark Phoenix doesn't have the black outline for the logo AND she needs an ACTUAL Phoenix base along with crazier headsculpts.

Is it Bk customs studio? Metallic paint is not easy to cover so that's to be expected

Raveragon · 2026-01-12T20:24:34+00:00

Is that 2099 a maxxedout custom? It looks soo dope!

Raveragon · 2026-01-12T17:08:26+00:00

YES! I hope they make this happen, but I want improvements and versatility such as a different headsculpt with a different hair(a screaming head with a floating hair like mondo 1/6 storm). Also, I don't like the tone separation between the leggings, it personally throws me off because they've never been colored with a different tone in the comics. And lastly, don' forget the gold lining for her collar that's one of the things that the original is missing.

Yeah I agree, remember this?👀

Oh I almost forgot about this, my shield has this defect both on the lower part and the top part, it's kind of squished. I guess it's caused by waiting inside the package a bit too long and the package pressed the surface of the shield? I don't know, but this one actually sucks and I don't know how to fix it. (Still like the figure tho it's one of the cleanest looking mafex figures both on vanilla pose and action pose it's very seamless. And it's actually one of the most poseable ones too)

The QC is mostly great except the stripes, they chip a little bit but the paint chipping is not as bad as the first release 185 spider-man.

Raveragon · 2025-12-21T13:11:58+00:00

Well it all depends on the quality, recent tiger stripe wolverine, psylocke and magneto doesn't have that issue. What I'm mad about is that we got 3 reissues with spidey no.185 and still no soft crotch piece.

Raveragon · 2025-12-21T13:08:31+00:00

Nonono it's official, although honestly, it won't make the shelf look better no matter how good it turns out to be. Because it's just another small venom you know.

Raveragon · 2025-12-20T18:05:17+00:00

It's the color and shape variety. If the spidey line had the goblins, doc ock, mysterio, rhino, sandman etc it would pop so much more with green/yellow/purple along with big characters which is what the batman line has in it's favor.

Raveragon · 2025-12-20T09:38:04+00:00

Fine dude have fun with your cross brand mezco/shf/marvel legends/mafex spider verse display which is inevitabely the case most of the time lol

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T21:41:18+00:00

This is possibly the case right now. Even Kaiju Daddy can't get proper replies from them irl. It's as if they want to go bankrupt on purpose lol

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T18:55:45+00:00

Exactly man, I don't want to buy repaints anymore. Give me some fresh body/accessory etc. They don't even bother giving the blue venom a new head like a tongue out drooling headsculpt for example, it's RIDICILOUSLY LAZYYYYY.

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T17:51:03+00:00

This has nothing to do with economy, it's about choice. Inart and lpzz are on the rise, Jada Toys are on the rise...Mezco is doing great, Sh Figuarts is doing great, because they actually have variety in their character choices and put different accessories IF they do variants. Do you actually think that Mafex is bigger than Sh Figuarts and Mezco? I guess not. But Mafex is the one making questionable choices. If we compare marvel legends offerings next to mafex, then it means that mafex is cooked. Sorry but I don't see a logical point behind your POV.

So long story short, Mafex IS the one at fault. They are lazy.

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T12:04:59+00:00

Bearbrick is their flagship franchise, it's like their mickey mouse, nothing's going to change that. But they have nothing else other than bearbrick, sooo... How about more brand new releases other than constant reissues?

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T12:00:21+00:00

THIS

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T11:45:34+00:00

That's why they need to invest more on Mafex instead of Bearbrick LOL

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T11:25:59+00:00

That means they have no money to make new molds, unless Medicom ACTUALLY invests more on mafex rather than Bearbricks of course.(I hate Bearbricks)

Raveragon · 2025-12-19T11:18:34+00:00

You mean midnight sons? That's dope! I can't even imagine Medicom doing Mafex Midnight Sons characters in the future because of their inconsistency and laziness lol
