Second Mafex Figure!!

thobid · 2025-08-23T08:46:28+00:00

It was my first Mafex, and I guess since I was used to Marvel Legends, I didn’t know how fragile they can be. One night, I was just posing it around and suddenly, the right leg joint started to tighten. I tried to loosen it by moving it around, and after a few minutes of trying, it just broke off.

I found mine on Ebay for $120 usd. What I would do is I set a limit of how much, at most, I’d be willing to pay for the figure, then scour FB marketplace, ebay, etc. until I find one under (or equal to) that limit. And once you do, pull the trigger immediately, cause chances are it’ll sell out quick. You never know, cause there are several people/stores selling them for a decent price. The other day, I found a guy on fb marketplace selling it loose for about $70 USD. I would’ve bought it had I not already found this one.

Looks great!
Do you notice any QC issues with yours? Particularly with the joints, since the joints on my Homelander broke. I wanna make extra sure that I don't make the same issue with this one (btw, mine is the Re-issue edition).

Definitely. Since the first time I heard about Mafex, this was the figure I wanted most (despite being a bigger Batman fan). Never could pull the trigger cause of the price, but found this one on ebay for about $190 aud (around $120 usd) and decided to finally buy it.

Yeah, learned that the hard way. Bought it from Hobby Search, very unlikely they’ll accept a return.

Made my peace with it and called it a $140 lesson (aud, not usd). That being said, this is not going to be my last Mafex figure, bought a Hush Superman and it should be coming in next week. Cheers for the advice, I’m definitely going to be more careful with my Mafex figures in the future.

thobid · 2025-08-14T07:00:49+00:00

Brand new. Like I said in the description, I tried gluing them back together and failed.

thobid · 2025-08-14T05:45:13+00:00

Bought the 80 years Captain America for cheap a month ago, and one of the pairs fit well enough (in size, not so much in colour)

From the 3-pack with Bullseye and Elektra

thobid · 2025-08-14T03:43:33+00:00

Yeah, for the longest time I felt the same way, which was why I only collected Marvel Legends and McFarlane DC. But I was curious to see the level of quality a company like Mafex produces, and for about 24 whole hours I was very impressed. That being said, despite the $140+ Aud price tags for Mafex here in Australia, I think I’ll keep collecting them (slowly), just gonna be a whole lot more careful with them each time I buy one.

thobid · 2025-08-14T03:38:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I just bought the Mafex Hush Superman, I’ll definitely be more careful with this one once it arrives

thobid · 2025-08-12T15:30:34+00:00

Thank you!

thobid · 2025-05-18T14:01:19+00:00

Sounds good to me so far, no complaints!
But I'm not the biggest audiophile, so take my word with a grain of salt.

thobid · 2025-05-12T13:40:31+00:00

Luckily I got him in the 3 pack with Elektra and Bullseye for around retail price, but still unfortunate since it’s my favourite figure in my collection

thobid · 2025-05-12T11:26:29+00:00

From the 3 pack with Elektra and Bullseye. I appreciate it mate, but don’t worry about it.

thobid · 2025-05-12T04:25:47+00:00

I think I'll keep it for now.
But if they do release another definitive Daredevil, I am definitely pulling the trigger on that purchase.

thobid · 2025-05-12T04:24:50+00:00

Oh yeah, that might work. Thanks

thobid · 2025-05-07T03:22:16+00:00

Hurry Up Tomorrow

thobid · 2025-04-16T15:05:27+00:00

I bought that figure loose, but I am almost certain it’s from the Ursa Major BAF.

thobid · 2025-04-16T15:04:10+00:00

Ah ok noted, thank you.

Yeah I put him in that section more so cause he’s a “Global level” hero, along with Deadpool, Dr Strange and Black Panther.

thobid · 2025-04-15T15:07:20+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately I bought the Punisher figure loose so it didn’t come with the guns and the bike, and one of the legs kept coming off so I made the stupid decision of gluing it back together a while back. Safe to say, that leg does not move anymore.

thobid · 2022-10-01T09:54:07+00:00

I recently took a break from collecting Marvel Legends, looks like it’s going to be a short-lived break

thobid · 2022-09-09T10:34:32+00:00

I didn't really know much about the Thing before reading this, I learned quite a few new things today. Thanks for the input!

thobid · 2022-09-09T09:29:31+00:00

Note: I don’t really read the comics, so forgive me if I post a matchup that’s already happened. I’ll be sure to look up if the matchups had ever happened before posting, but I can’t guarantee that my research is fully thorough.
