I find that import figures are engineered to have parts pop off instead of break when it’s articulation points are stressed. A lot of it feels like it was done my design which I like. SHFiguarts does this a lot In spite of these design choices Mafex figures are infamous for breakages however so be careful, especially at the knees, elbows, and butterfly joints! If mafex could up their build/durability quality to figuarts level they would be the undisputed best import figure line. They have the most detail but often times I find they’re also the most delicate.
Absolutely! I’m learning as I go and have ultimately fell in love with import figures and definitely going forward will keep these issues in mind. They say 14+ on the box for a reason! Thanks for the tips!
I’ll definitely be picking up more one day. This was a great deal, I do have a few SH Figuarts on the channel but I think the proper comparison vids may do very well. Thanks for the feedback!
I have the Mafex Rogue One, SHF ROTJ and Hasbro ESB anniversary Vaders. The Mafex has the most accurate mask design and with the red eye lenses, but a skinny body and is the least durable.The SHF's has the best cloak, best joints and paint, but a slightly off mask and ugly waist area. Hasbro's has the cloth inner robes and is the most durable, but ugly joint cuts and worst paint. Glad I got all 3, as they all have their strengths.
@@SeanSolo8 Yeah. The Mafex's mask is almost perfect. Something nearly everyone apart Hot Toys cannot get right. But the body proportions are a let down. I think the Black Series is really great, and not just because of the price, and the only Black Series figure that can really give the pair of Japanese import figures a run for their money.
Forty dollars?!?! Dame, too bad I'm out of the Star Wars six-inch figure line. However, I would love to get those Figma game figures but those are over a hundred bucks.
This figure is exactly what I want with a Boba fett figure, nice detailing and color, awesome review 👏
Yes this is fantastic! Thanks for visiting and for the feedback!
Cool Mafex Boba !!! Great comparison video!. Thanks for sharing bro!.
Thanks Mark! Really appreciate it! 🔥🔥

They're slowly getting there. The Scarlet Spider feels solid.
Oooo man!! I’m so excited for that Spidey!
Rock On Sean! It’s MAFEX for the Win Again! I need to get my hands on this one. Great Review 🤘🤩
It’s definitely a good one! Wonder what the others look like! 🤣🔥
Nice figure Seán, great review 😀👍
Thanks Gerard!! Really appreciate the feedback and support!
Best 6" Boba ever made!
Thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely impressed! 🔥
I hope this is a series of comparison videos. I wish there were more mafex figs I would love to see more Darth Vader versions and stormtroopers

Thanks! I noticed in pics on was really skinny looking. I really do like the Empire Black Series Version but would love a wired cape

I’d love to see one in hand for sure. Maybe one day if they do a reissue I’ll pick one up
Do you think they'll get us a like sky walker, Hans cause the re issue
I really hope so. Figuarts just reissued Anakin and Vader. Would love Luke and Han!
I think both figures are awesome. 👏
Nailed it!! Both are fantastic.
Wish this figure included effects so it could be the definitive version, hoping a third party company makes an accessory pack for him or something
I’m with you!! Seems strange of Mafex.
@@SeanSolo8 I think they wanted to keep the price down cause this is like 65$ so they didn't include that much
Absolutely
Hi, is there any differences between reissue and og one? I’m planing to get ESB version
I watched a bunch of vids and looks the same. Falls apart just as easy!
The hascrap version is just fine. But I wouldn't throw the Mafex away either. But primarily the hascrap price 😝
Yep!! Love the flame accessories from Hasbro’s
Is there anyway for me to get one at the same price?
Yes the link in the video works, it’s $41 right now but if that don’t work Hobbylink Japan is selling them for $41
Forty dollars?!?! Dame, too bad I'm out of the Star Wars six-inch figure line. However, I would love to get those Figma game figures but those are over a hundred bucks.
Yes it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. I’d love some. Figma too
Seems like thise higher end always require a little more care when playing or posing.. they look great but it's like handling a model..
Yea this one is way more fragile then Batman
Dude $44 for a MAFEX?! How can you NOT get that?!
Absolutely! Think I got mine for $35 back in the day
Is this the reissue?
Yep, this is it.
Worried you say this is better than the empire strikes back version
It’s great. They are all great!
I like Mafex compared to any SH figuarts Star Wars figures (besides Mando luke)
But Black series easily wins this one
Yes Black Series knocked this out of the park!
Is this the reissue?
Yes sir it is. Just got him a few weeks ago
