MAFEX Superman Hush DC Comics Batman Medicom Action Figure Review
Ойын-сауық
Like Medicom MAFEX Hush Batman before him, I think I've found my display version of Superman! A little slop here and there but the eye-catching colors, the articulation, the sculpt, the fantastic cape, it just works completely for me.

I do wish he came with a friendlier face option, but otherwise he's perfect.

Yup, but then Hush was angsty. Cheery head would have been icing.

If you have the Hush Batman, some dude on YT showed the swap. You have to swap the neck too because of the skin tone difference, but it looks pretty cool to have smiley Bruce on Clarkie's ripped bod.

I can’t wait for mine to arrive next month, this is exactly everything I had ever wanted in what I consider to be my definitive 6 inch Superman figure for my DC-Justice League display
Just incase this helps anyone: It seems pretty common amongst these (from articulation segments on reviews anyway) that the should joint is a little frozen out of the box. The socket for the shoulder connects to a ball joint in the torso which, if you get out, you can sand it down a little and give him more of a butterfly joint. You can see the intended effect more on Batman who has a ton more shoulder range since the joint has a better socket in the torso there. The only reason I realised is because my Carnage and black Hush Batman both had a shoulder joint frozen in a similar method, and it confused me that Supes' range was so little despite using the same mechanism.
The review/reviewer that I've been waiting for.👌🏻
Thanks Robo! Appreciate you as always! Stay Blessed!!!
Great figure and review! Looking forward to getting mine.
That figure looks dope! Great review!
Awesome review! Just ordered this figure and cant wait to get him
I'm just super happy haha that they brought back the yellow symbol on the back of the cape I think they originally took it off during the animated episodes because it took too much work to draw it but I always missed it

+Jacob Foster: I agree, but the yellow symbol on the back of the cape is missing some triangles.
Nice review. This figure is good 👍. The cape is just right as the yellow symbol on the back reminds me of the George Reaves, TV series Superman. Thanks again for sharing your treasure.
Great review, Fwoosh!! I'll take an entire case. ❤️💯❤️
Mine will be here Monday. Can’t wait!
This review gets me excited for their AzBats! And also the possibility that they might do the 4 "Reign of the Supermen" Supermans... Superboy, Steel, Eradicator and CYBORG SUPES!
That mysterty machine photo made me laugh out loud 👏👏👏

Haha, I went looking for a more realistic vehicle, but the urge was too strong. Mystery Machine wins every time.
I waited anxiously for your review to confirm what everybody was saying but I got the figure two weeks ago. And it is PERFECT. I've been longing for a perfect Superman and it sure checks all the boxes and sweet spots. He looks good with the Mafex Batman. He looks good with the Figuarts Hulk. He looks good with the Figurise Goku (closer in size). He's the real deal and your review just highlighted it all. That's 3/3 perfect figures for Mafex. Spider-man, Batman and Superman are pretty much the ultimate comic figures of those 3. 60-70€ isn't that expensive for definitive figures of the best and most popular heroes of pop culture. I am now praying for a comiv Wonder Woman or a comic Captain America.
The opening of that video made me so friggin anxious haha
Mr Robo, solid review man.
Thanks for the review.✌🏾🔥
Cool entrance, Supes passed the test.
Best Superman figure atm and I'm definitely getting his Black suit variant. Only way it could be better is a smiling head.
Due to the pandemic I had to sell a few figures which wasn't a very good feeling...luckily I am doing much better and I just ordered this and the hush Batman figure.
I love that they did the hush version. Imo its the classic look. I'd still like some chains or something instead as an accessory though.
This and the black Hush Batman are my grail rn
I love your shirt.
Fwoosh is my shit. Much luv, Robo and other fella. 🖖🖖🖖
I love that intro
Now we need a definitive true 1/12 scale Doomsday.
Great review this is the best 1/12 superman. Try yriel yellow mixed with white scar citadel paints takes some mixing but it worked for me 👍
Got mine yesterday, just in time for the Superman & Lois premiere. I love this figure, it’s terrific.
Really a cool figure i have 13 Years, and have this figure you are the best , AND the versión black Superman
I have one on preorder. I can't wait till you get the recently announced Marvel Legends Quasar
I can't wait for Mafex Comic accurate figure THE FLASH!!! Best seller for sure!!!
Love your reviews, Robo. Can you make Mafex Miles and Petes.B soon!!? 🙏 I've been waiting for 'em forever
This might get me to start Collecting DC figures
By the time there were five reviews on KZread it was sold out everywhere, and I decided to wait to see if there’d be some common QC issues before I bought it. I’m so mad I missed out on this. I really hope they restock but I doubt it.
@BraveCustoms
3 жыл бұрын
Probably won't get restocked, but Mafex is pretty good about reissues. They even fix QC issues or improve them with 1.5 or 2.0 versions. They just reissued a bunch of figures that came out years ago. I am sure this will get reissued again. Also, with how well this sold, I am 99.9% sure they will drop a variant up for pre-order this year. They wasted no time giving us a black/gray Hush Batman.
Would love a repaint with a smiling head. I need a happy, confident Superman in my display; Batman already occupies the "brooding" slot. I hope it'll come soon because the hips in my DCUC Superman has not aged well.
Wow the NECA toys ones look awesome
I recommend you to pop off his torso and look for imperfections inside the plastic. Try to shave them to avoid scratching your figure. Mine came with stuff inside and it has a nasty scratch on his abs now :( I think the same happened to D-Amazing on his review. Oh, also mine didn't pass the arm test lol, but it only happens if you rotate the bicep too much.
I like the packaging it looks lnice
Love mine due to the design, despite the qc issues. Sorry yours came with a badly painted S, visible glue and mark on the 1st head. I guess I got lucky.
Great video. I love this figure and thank you for doing such a great job going over this MAFEX figure. Mine had some paint rub off the foot where the toe joint is located leaving a small blue area. Does anyone know how I could fix that?
Got mine 2 weeks ago and it’s my most favorite Superman figure ever! My only gripe is that the left side of the cape is an inch longer than the right.

I noticed the sides of the cape drape further than the middle but figured there was a reason.
Yeah I love this figure so much. And I can not wait for the new mezco Superman coming out. This figure has it's flaws but man it's so good I'm willing to look past it. This guy goes so well with other darkseid figures. Especially the old DC classics darkseid.
That 1:25 bear joke is one of the many reasons I love watching Robo and the Fwoosh. Such genuine, light hearted, and hilarious moments that come out of the blue.
I love Superman 😎
Noticed the yellow "S" shield is missing the triangle at the upper part forming the serif and the lower part forming the reverse apex. Mafex should have included a fine tipped Sharpie to remedy that. Lol!
Does the default head on yours have a mark on his cheek or is that intentional?
The left arm of mine would definitely fail the intro test. And the small head compared to Batman kinda irks me but all in all I am happy with it especially since I got it at half price.
I wish I'd preordered this.

Test the paint on the belt under the cape to see how it holds.

Does anyone know what color red is used on the figure. I just got the re-issue and he’s got a paint chip on the trunks. Looking for a good match to fix it.
Great looking figure, especially the colours. I just wish it came with another head that had a facial expression more along the lines of a traditional Superman. If not smiling, then at least a neutral expression. When I think of a traditional Superman, I don't think scowling or gritted teeth.
When Storm collectibles finally releases injustice Superman, we will see a good ole fashion Superman showdown!
Turn the ball peg around on the neck and you’ll get more head articulation
When does it come out on bigbadtoystore I pre ordered it in December
I want to sculpt a smiling face and a frost breath blowing face for this to make the definitive Superman
Nice shirt, robo

Nice shirt...
Should have better quality control for the price mafex charges.
I am looking to buy one on Amazon. But I can’t tell if it is the newer version or the original version? Does anyone know?
Cool looking figure! I’m not sure how I feel about all these companies using soft rubber parts like crotches. They look great but I’m not so sure about the longevity of these pieces
Missing the two "triangles" in the S on the cape
YES YES YES
Just ordered one... I can't wait until it arrives! Hey Robo, where do you buy yours from?
I hope pre orders go up again for this Superman, I refuse to pay almost 300 bucks for this figure
Is there a way to put the ads at the end or beginning
Ahahahaha that shirt is hilarious
I hear if you turn the neck peg backwards (it is angled), you can get him to look straight up when flying.

Does Mafex restock figures at all, or is this initial pre-order stock going to be it?

Ocht the legs are still thin and don't quite fully straighten. Was hoping they'd have fixed that from Batman. Still looks great, just frustrating that it isn't perfect when it's so close

If you want, wherever you see that it’s super tight or if it squeaks, take a toothpick and some dish soap. Dab a little of it in the area and move the leg around. So long as it’s a little, It will be a looser joint and still hold up very well.

Mezco makes them tough, and Figuarts seems a bit more fluid.
Oh Robo, you can't do me like that with the MAFEX arm test at the beginning, I literally spent yesterday being driven mad by their Carnage figure due to the loose left arm, which sucks since the rest is so good on that figure. Also at 11:19, damn that's a good looking figure, looks ripped straight out of Jim lee's art.
