While I do agree with your criticisms of the figure (it really is disappointing that it did not come with more props. Big reason as to why I did not pick it up), its incredibly disingenuous to frame it as a "$120" figure when it retailed for ~$50 when converted from yen. Even more so since you compared it to a $150 figure from a US company. Reading other comments you've left, you know that you did this on purpose and say you did so under the guise of "Well it's that much on Big Bad Toystore and most people don't know it's better to order from Japanese sites/import", and "we would be here all day talking about other countries prices and shipping costs if I bothered" completely playing down the criticism. I understand many older or unfamiliar collectors hold the belief of "I can only buy within America and in USD only", but Mafex and many similar brands are Japanese products foremost. Speaking about their original yen to USD price and importing does nothing but serve to help familiarize those who don't know how to or that you could import and its benefits (saving money and more reasonable access to these quality figures). Many other reviewers do it and always make sure to talk about it or make it known. Like, "Yeah I bought this figure on AmiAmi for $XX, but it's available on X Y and Z reputable sites for a similar price. Only spend what you are comfortable with". Even more so, Big Bad Toystore holds a well known reputation for price gouging and generally milking customers dry when it comes to Japanese imports. Respectfully, you can do better. Absolutely no hate towards you, just love. The way you framed the prices and responded to comments regarding that just did not sit well with me.

The shiny stuff can be fixed with Mr Hobby Matte spray. I don’t resell Mafex stuff so it’s not an issue to me and Mr Hobby is a fantastic spray that leaves no trace that you sprayed it at all. Glad Rouge is on the way, ML Beast fills in that spot for now but yeah, I’d love a Mafex version. Jubilee is also definitely needed. I also wish they’d figure out how to do articulated hair. The Supwr Sayian 4s have it.. I’d like to see Mafex figure it out going forward.

1:16:29 You got the Professor, Beast, Iceman, Colossus, and Archangel. Mafex has definitely been on the path of completing the X-Men #1 cover "storyline." [Interesting with comic storylines. The DC ones are more iconic - i.e. DKR, Nightfall, & Hush] So after those are completed circa 2028, then they can touch on some of the other characters, like Nightcrawler, Cable, classic Deadpool. As far as villains, they gotta wedge Sabretooth in there sooner than later. And I know I'm a broken record over here with sending how many comments like this already?, I just always get *PUMPED* whenever they announce a new X-Men figure.

Posting a little late, but one great site to keep an eye out for all the import figures is Mandarake. It's one website, but it has physical shops all across the Tokyo area. They deal in second-hand goods, so the conditions definitely vary, but I've never had an issue. It's kind of a treasure trove for more rare items, and they price them reasonably! AmiAmi also has a pre-owned section that's extensive in its own right. So even if you miss a brand-new item there, chances are pretty solid at seeing it pre-owned down the line.
