I watched that video about a year ago, and kind of forgot what he talked about. I was trying to make the same decision and bought the mafex first, then switched to the SHF.

I guess the other thing that might stick out to you is the triangle tip on the waist of the SHF ultraman. Part of it is on the abdomen, and the other part is on the underpants cutout (don’t have a better term; at least I did not call it a diaper) if you twist the waist, the silver triangle might not line up. Mafex does not have that problem.

Something about the mafex does not feel like the shin ultraman to me. It is kind of… beefy? maybe? It doesn’t quite feel like the slim weirdo that shin ultraman normally looks like.

Plus as far as I know mafex is not making more shin ultraman figures, so if you want your guy to have friends, the SHF is a nice selection.
