    I feel like Kaine never gets enough figures like imagine a mafex one or one with Kaine with a spider verse wave and the Other as a BAF like dude that would be insane and I'd buy it all what about you

      a mafex kaine would be a must buy for me. With all of the spidey clones coming out, I'm pretty a Kaine is next on their list.

    Figure collecting Ben Reilly fans got it good lately, both ML and Mafex Scarlet Spiders are great releases and the Mafex Spectacular Spider-Man got a reissue recently too

    The ML is great and I don't regret getting it, but the cloth hoodie and magnetic hands (on top of all the other accessories) puts the Mafex as the superior version IMO. Luckily I am able to have both, but for anyone on a budget the ML is solid and will likely satisfy your needs for a Ben figure.

    Thank you for the review. I have my Scarlet Spidey sitting in his Legends package next to my Thinking Chair. I have been too busy to open him. I am an actor in a Children's Play that actually premieres tonight at a small PA Theatre: DCP. I am the narrator. Getting a little nervous. But your video is a shot in the arm. Thank you!

    Found Tombstone, Goblin Queen and Angel recently, but no Ben Reilly yet. I will definitely be getting the ML one though. I had briefly considered spending extra money for the previous retro-carded ML for its lovely darker red, but after stewing on it, the new ML's better details and RYV articulation can't be beat.

    Wish hasbruh would have added an unmasked ben head like they did with the last release, but i think they did a dope job. And since the mafex is way over my budget this is one of the few times i prefer a ml over a mafex, another banger vid jason 😎

  • @LochNessHamster
    @LochNessHamster 3 месяца назад +2

    The ML Scarlet Spider is so good looking. The sculpt on the hoodie and the headsculpt are perfect. For my tastes, it's the first Scarlet Spider figure in this scale that I actually like enough to own. My only real problems with it are that the web shooter gauntlets are a bit oversized, and the vestigial boot cut from the original body looks weird on a single color body.
    The additional value in the Mafex figure really isn't worth the near 500% price increase to me, especially when the figure is a lot less aesthetically appealing to me. The additional articulation is nice, but the Marvel Legends figure has as much as I'd ever really want. The hands and web accessories are mostly unnecessary. I like the ML headsculpt more than all three of the Mafex ones, and I have plenty of web accessories already.
    The only features from the Mafex I would really miss are the web holding hands and the ability to put the hood up. Besides that there's nothing that would make me pick it over the Marvel Legends.
    I would really like to see Mafex do comic versions of Spider-Gwen and Black Cat, because for my money there haven't been truly good figures of either of them yet. I would love to see their takes on Green Goblin, Scorpion, Shocker, Doc Ock and Mysterio, too.

    I finally jumped the gun on a scarlet spider figure. I kept comparing between the ML and mafex version. I ended up getting the mafex. I feel like it looks much more agile in proportions. It comes at a higher price for sure but ill never have to get another scarlet spider

    Legends is the winner for me. Is how I picture the Scarlet Spider, compared to the mafex is how I picture Scarlet Spider at the end of the month starving him self to make ends meet.

  • @someonels3
    @someonels3 3 месяца назад +1

    The mafex is a fantastic figure with a ton of accessories but this review reminded me why I passed on it. None of the 3 heads are what I think of when I hear Scarlet Spider. Meanwhile the legends head is exactly how I see him in my mind, which is why I preordered him right away. I do wish he came with an unmasked head but the mafex doesn’t either so he’s not losing points in a comparison

    • @Jag2045
      @Jag2045 3 месяца назад

    I got pretty unlucky with my copy of the Mafex, a lot of little QC issues that just dont make it fun to handle. Bums me out cause I adore their Classic Spidey figure. Still pre ordered their comic 2099 cause I never liked the Marvel Legends one. Of course now that I've done that watch hasbro announce a new 2099 on the RYV body.

    • @5POAFigureReviews
      @5POAFigureReviews  3 месяца назад +1

      Honestly, a NYV 2099 is what I am holding out for. I feel like his proportions are closer to how I picture Miguel. So sorry to hear you had QC problems, though! Especially at that price.

    I went all in on Mafex for comic Peter Parkers (and genetic equivalents) and I definitely don’t regret having regular Spidey, Symbiote, Scarlet, and Spider-Ben all on basically the same buck with a bunch of articulation and accessories. However I will give Hasbro props for rising to the challenge, and I still rely on them for my Miles and armored Pete figures.

    Whichever you can get your hands on for a good price. Popular Legends figures are hard to buy at retail unless you preorder. I won't be surprised if the Scarlet Spiderman is commanding a price of $70 by the end of the year.

  • @obi-onekenerdi
    @obi-onekenerdi 3 месяца назад +2

    The thing both of these guys miss, and seemingly most modern superhero toys is that stylized shading. No a figure is never going to look exactly like a 2D drawing but when Ben Reilly is drawn in this costume he’s almost never bright red, something the Spiderverse movie got very right. If Hasbro (but especially Mafex since they’re WAY less affordable) started to do more shading it would set these figures over the top. Until then these figures just look kinda off.

    You will save money & get a decent version.
    BUT..if they charge one single cent more without giving more accessories or higher quality.. STOP buying Hasbro products.
    The cost to quality is becoming an issue.
