Thanks for the review. You’re comparing to the Black Series Kenner tribute figure which has much simpler paint apps than the regular version, to mirror the old toys. Comparing the regular release Black Series to your video, I’d say the paint apps are very similar.
Man, it’s too bad Mafex won’t let us know if they’ll do more bounty hunters. This would be such an easy pick up if I knew there were at least doing the ones pictured on the box. Thanks for the review!
I know you keep hearing this but the original Black Series 4Lom looks almost identical to the Mafex. On the BS 4LOM the eyes actually glow green when back lit, does the Mafex have this feature? The original BS Zuckuss also has better paint apps than the one you are showing here.
It's been a minute since I've purchased one of the Mafex protocol droids. Last set I owned was the c3po and r2d2 set. R2 was perfect but 3po would fall apart if you looked at it funny. I'm talking thighs popping off the pelvis. Forearms splitting in half where the piston rod is placed, both biceps falling out of the shoulders. I'm really not sure if it had something to do with the chrome plating that's currently flaking off of my figure or a deeper rooted issue. Would you say this has a better construction than their previous attempts?
They could have done more as it's packed less, the eye needs a glass like sheen. The nose part needs to be red. The chest armour needs more details its really flat here. The wires on torso could have more paint. That could may be justify the price point.
Idk if Mafex still makes classic movie figures, but Maria from Metropolis would be cool. And sheesh, obligatory what's with this price? Did they make 5?
This figure looks fantastic. The paint applications are very good. But the articulation of the arms is terrible. I understand limited movement of the head and torso, he’s based on a protocol droid and they aren’t known for gymnastic abilities, but he needs to be able to hold his blaster like he can aim it. The only way I would buy this figure is if it was cheaper and I knew we’d get all 6 bounty hunters from ESB. I think the odds are in our favor but I don’t want to wait years for them to finish the set. Thanks for the review and your honest opinion of the value of this item.
Yes that was brought to my attention. Didn’t realize there was another one. Can’t keep up with all the Black Series repaints. Thank you for letting me know.
I’m not sure. I passed on their C-3PO from back in the day because it was an awful figure so I don’t know if any of that body was reused here. The price on this is just stupid.
My list is MAFEX; Assasins Credd Ezio+Berserk Guts+John Constantine Keanu Reeves+ Logan Movie Logan+Netflix Marvel Punisher+DISNEY Moon Knight+Blade movie Wesley Snipes+ Hellboy+Ghost Rider Nicolas Cage

It was the only version I had. I wasn’t aware they put out another version. Thanks for the info.
@@KaijuDaddyJapanNo worries. I think the Kenner version is the newer version, although both use the same body.

Thanks for the review! Yeah the price is crazy...if it goes on sale, I'll pick it up.
Gotta save that money.

Well, Bossk is on the way and their IG-11 could theoretically be used as a substitute IG-88 which would leave just two others left.
@KaijuDaddyJapan I had no idea bossk is on the way! Why would you say these things!? Now my brain is trying to make space!😂🤣😂🤣

Thanks. Yeah wasn’t aware the BS had another version. Is the sculpt the same or a new sculpt?
Sculpt is the same, different paint apps.

Yes that C-3PO was back when their stuff would fall apart if you looked at it funny. These days they do much better with their engineering
@@KaijuDaddyJapan I appreciate the insight! Thank you!

Agreed. There really isn’t much to justify the price.
This figure has the same body as C-3PO.
The costumes are similar but different. So, the toys will also be similar but different.
2025 and still coming through with the goodies before everyone else Kaiju Daddy. *5 ⭐'s*
No resting in 2025

The price is just so weird. There’s no rational explanation for it.

Thanks for the review and your honest opinion of the value of this item.
Appreciate the comment. I’m pretty sure they’d continue the line but if nobody buys this they’d probably reevaluate it
That looks like the hasbro kenner style 4-lom, not the mainline movie styled 4-lom you're comparing it with. Paint apps are vastly different.
Yes that was brought to my attention. Didn’t realize there was another one. Can’t keep up with all the Black Series repaints. Thank you for letting me know.
@KaijuDaddyJapan understandable. Hasbro loves to reuse tooling and repaint when possible.
Thanks again for the info.
For $87 and considering what you get, it doesn’t make any sense, there has to be a lot of new here, I’m going to guess the body is completely new
I’m not sure. I passed on their C-3PO from back in the day because it was an awful figure so I don’t know if any of that body was reused here. The price on this is just stupid.

Wow, i rather buy one from Black Series, cause 20 Euros for Dmg Control is affordable
The price on this is silly
Why is this figure so much more expensive that the others? Luke Skywalker is cheaper with more stuff in the box!
I have absolutely no idea. It’s so weird
@@KaijuDaddyJapan I mean paint detail but the body is just a reuse of 3PO it seems. Odd indeed.
