Mafex – Evangelion Unit 01

It's a very Evangelion time right now apparently. The original show is on Netflix, which I highly recommend checking out. I also got my pre order for Unit01 in. I have never been a huge Anime person but I am a fan of quite a few older shows, Evangelion being one of them. I watched and rewatched the original series a lot, on VHS, because that was the thing at the time. I've still got several model kits and various figures from back then as well. Given my history of Eva and how much I am starting to like Mafex…

Mafex – Gwenpool

So, I don't really do "Figure of the Year" stuff, but if I did, Mafex Gwenpool would very likely be my "Figure of the Year".  I can't express how worried I was about this figure leading up tot he release.  All of the previous Mafex figures I have picked up had some sort of issue, most often, arms or heads that don't stay attached well.  The sculpts on the figures are all great, but the quality is a little dodgy.  I've mentioned before that as much as I like Mafex being cheaper than say, Figuarts, I wish they would accept…

Mafex – The Dark Knight Rises Batman (v2)

DC is over here trying to reboot it's cinematic universe and here I am still stuck on the Nolan Batman films.  Maybe things will shape up and the new Batman will end up being amazing, but for now, I'm satisfied with Christian Bale's take on the character.  I really just don't feel Ben Affleck as Batman and I don't like the design of the newer suit(s) as much.  As such, for now, I'm sticking with this Batman from Mafex as my "Batman in toy form".  This is the second release of this figure, it fixes a lot of the quality…

Mafex – The Dark Knight Joker

I'm not a huge fan of the "Nolan Batman" films as a whole, but The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies in the broad sense.  Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Rises, both are kind of mediocre, The Dark Knight is so good though.  A lot of this is because of the Joker as the villain.  Loving Heath Ledger's Joker isn't an uncommon opinion at all for sure.  Unfortunately, in the US, Mattel has the license for DC figures, and produces most of them.  Mattel, honestly, isn't the greatest toy company, mostly because they tend to have wonky articulation…

Mafex – BatmanVSuperman Superman

I have to admit, I sometimes feel like a bit of a masochist because I'm still sticking with Medicom's Mafex line for my DC collection.  My experience so far has been pretty hit and miss, the hits are good, but the misses tend to be pretty awful.  I feel like if I just stick with it, they will figure things out and start producing really solid figures.  Mafex Batman vs Superman Superman here is definitely par for this course. I want to start with the good things, and why I stick with the line.  I really like the sculpts.  The…
