I’ve got the Spider-Verse ones coming, they’re just caught up in COVID delays
That’s fair though. My Iron Spider isn’t fantastic either but it hasn’t broken (though I know about the leg issues). Even if they have improved it definitely feels like a “wait on the reviews” sort of thing for me. Not that I expect this to be out until late 2022 at the earliest.

I have two Mafex figures: original comic Spider-Man and Hush Batman. Both look great and I’ve had no issues. Spidey has fallen off my shelf a couple times without any damage, but ofc YMMV. I feel you hear more about Mafex QC issues than from Bandai. Medicom has solicited several Mafex figures but their release date has been up in the air lately

When it comes to MAFEX and their QC issues it really depends on the figure.
For example, with their Shazam figure, his arms love to pop off due to over-engineering, but when it comes to most of their Spider-Man figures, they're swell. Two things I always recommend with their figures though:
It should also be noted that despite a ton of stigma you'll read online, MAFEX's' QC has improved greatly over time. Typically it is just the hip joints that you need to watch out for, which is a huge improvement over the early days where their figures were active hand grenades.

Used to buy Mafex figures when they were around $65 around 5 years ago. But the prices have been slowly creeping up and they basically priced me out of buying anymore.

I own two Mafex figures, one has a few loose joins but the other is perfect, definitely on Figuarts level.
I'm mainly curious about accessories here. A beam effect would be cool, but they haven't shown Shin Ultraman doing a bema attack in the trailers so I would assume they would not be allowed to reveal it yet. And what else could they include? Some diorama pieces maybe? Anyhow, I have the SHF on pre-orders but I probably will get this one too. I really like Shin Ultramans design so I will buy a couple figures of all types and sizes, and I don’t mind getting two highly detailed articulated figures at the same scale. |

One thing Mafex figures has over SHF is stands are included

I have to say, I'm a HUGE MAFEX fan. I'd even rank them over Figuarts in pretty much all instances at this point - sculpt, proportions, and definitely accessories.
Even some of the older ones from back when they were notorious for QC problems are great on my end, and their Marvel ones are easily the best 1/12 scale versions of those characters going. Really looking forward to this one, and hopefully opens the door for more toku figures from them! |

Also includes only hands. Huh.
Direct comparison with the SHF: |
