MAFEX Rey Star Wars: The Force Awakens Medicom Action Figure Review

Ойын-сауық

Finally, another Rey in the running! We already had the Hasbro Star Wars Black Series version from Jakku at the first of The Force Awakens but Medicom has now released their MAFEX version. And it's a great figure but it won't be for everyone.

    Hell, I put the 2017 Celebration exclusive Kotobukiya 0-0-0 & BT-1 in with my figures. I feel bad for the people that are losing sleep over the size problems. Close enough! (They are absolutely beautiful, btw. The paint is really incredible. Depending on the angle and lighting 0-0-0 is either black or a very dark blue-green. And BT-1 looks better in person than I expected.)

    Here's a quick fix for the arm issue. The peg for the bicep is connected through the upper arm to the elbow joint. For some of the Reys it seems like the left elbow wasn't shoved all the way into the left upper arm. Apply some force to it and more of the bicep peg should poke out of the upper arm, giving a better connection.

    You are correct sir about the quality issues with Mafex at times because today I was messing with this Rey and her bottom bun on her head popped off when I was turning the head and tomorrow I will try to super glue it back on. The Mafex Rogue One Darth Vader which I love the most which I own will probably be the last Mafex figure I will buy after this happening today because they cost too much for poor quality like this and now after this happening I better not switch out my Vader's hands anymore. He is not the only Vader I own because I have the 40th anniversary black series and the sh figuarts new hope versions of Vader as well but after this happening to this Rey today I am not switching out hands on the Mafex Rogue One Vader anymore and will just keep the lightsaber gripping hands on because I don't trust Mafex quality anymore after this happening.

    The face is okay, the articulation of the arm looks horrible but damn the accessories are really one of the best! Escpecially the helmet of Captain Dosmit Raeh. The only thing that doesn't fit is the blaster, which was silver in the movie. All in all I think it's the accessories that make her really stand out, i just which they would do different arms.

    You know, I've been anticipating this figure, been blown away by the better face compared to hasbro's and Mafex's Kylo ren, and dug this figure use of gray over the more often used tan color....only to realize that I didn't like her Jakku outfit. 3:17 fir this precise reason and much I prefer her resistance look. SO This leaves me with two likely choices, Bandai or Hasbro. The latter while most likely make one latter this year in time for the Last Jedi, but while Bandai release their's first? I'm going to be to be patient either way.

    I received mine today. On mine the loose arm is worse. But if you move the elbow joint up, it does stick a little better. Overal great figure. I have her setup in scavenger look. 3 downsides. She does indeed not really look like daisy ridley, the loose arm, and the color of her outfit. It is too grey. Should be more light brown.

    Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are both 5'7"; just as Adam Driver and Gwendoline Christie are both 6'3". I'd say the Mafex Rey's about right. I wasn't planning on picking this up, but this may be my first Medicom figure (along with Boba, when I decide which version).

    Hot Toys lied to us. Honestly, at that price, there's no excuse for such an egregious discrepancy in height between them; at this scale it's fine, especially considering we're mixing different company's products.

    Mafex Rey's height isn't "about right" on the 1/12 scale... Too tall. Just like Robo said: Rey (Daisy) is 5ft 7in. and this Mafex figure is "five and 7/8ths" = 5.875inches, so when you upscale from 1/12 to 1/1, she would be 70.5 inches, which converts to 5ft 10.5inches, taller than Luke and Kenobi, wtf... she's suppose to be 5ft 7in... Black Series scale is on point, but I'd rather wait and buy the S.H. figuarts Rey Anyway, agreed that Hot Toys fudged up as well, Finn is too tall. He's gotta be shortened. But, Boyega is 5ft 8.5in , not 5ft 7....

    Another great review, Robo. I agree with your overall feel and most of your points. On the negatives, I think she does indeed have a bitchface (contrary to Daisy in the movie), AWFUL arms (disproportionate, asymmetrical, weird elbows), and the size is kinda wrong...but you know what? Mafex is indeed heading into (hopefully) greener grass with these releases. They still need to fix important stuff, but I doubt that the future SHF Rey wil provide what to me constitutes the saving grace of this figure: the insane amount of great-looking, fun and charismatic accesories. I'd say the figure is a solid 7/10 for me,considering the QC issue with the arm, weak ankle joints and etc. I'm looking forward to these two companies going head-to-head trying to outdo the competition in quality releases.
