Well this is interesting. Medicom got the Shin Ultraman license and will be releasing an articulated figure of Ultraman in their Mafex-line.

Curious to see how it will be different from the SHF.

I only expect three things from this.

1. It'll come with a Specium Ray
2. It's gonna cost more than Bandai's 50$ counterpart
3. It'll release in 2027

Makes me really hope that they start making figures for the other Ultramen. I've loved the MAFEX line ever since their RoboCop figure.

Can't go wrong with MAFEX, but yeah probably gonna be very pricy.

One change I did notice is bicep swivels, Figuarts doesn’t really do those anymore if it breaks up the sculpt too much.

LOL, you can go very wrong with MAFEX actually. Their QC is nowhere near as good as Bandai's.

Some of the Spider-Man figures are flimsy as hell and with how spindly Shin is, I'm already very wary.

Dang, I always thought they were nice cause of the details but I assume this is from personal experience with them so I will take your word for it. How bad is it by the way? Are we talking Wile E Coyote-after-hit-by-an-anvil level of wobbly?

MAFEX used to have shit QC, but since 2019, they've been killing it.

I expect this to be amazing.

My comic paint Spider-Man had both wrist joints disintegrate 30 seconds out of the box. That was released in 2019.

In the interest of fairness though, Hush Batman is amazing. I do think the chunkier the figure, the better it is. Which is why I’m wary about this one.

Fair enough on that Spidey, that is a known issue.

I used to HATE MAFEX, the three I had all broke one me or were awful. But I've gotten IW Thor, Carnage, Gwenpool, Shazam, Homecoming Spidey. All amazing.

I guess I'd suggest looking up reviews of the Spider Verse Miles Morales they did. Scrawniest figure I've ever seen, only real issue is the clothing.
