It’s shows how far Hasbro have come that a $20 Marvel Legends comes close to an import figure nearly four times the price, I’ve got both and I’m Seriously impressed with the Marvel Legends Retro Spider-Man, I loved the Mafex Spider-Man upon its release but I just prefer the Marvel Legends retro Spideman, there’s just something about the figure that resonates with me
Fachri Putra Ramdhan subjective meets your opinion is included in it. So with these 2 figures, it’s very subjective with which you choose as they’re both very good.
My only complain on ML Retro is that he doesn't have that many accessories, I wish he have a wall crawling hands, Peter Parker head, webs. Overall it's great.
@@3214simon what i normally do (at least with the normal sunfire body) is drill a little hole directly about the hole that the arms normally go into. Then, it has a higher place to sit in, and it doesnt droop so much.
Shoulders on marvel legends haven been really frustrating, they put them too damn low. It makes the characters look weak. A strong guy has big broad shoulders. Anthony’s customs did a photo shop of the new retro Spidey with the shoulders higher and holy crap it was amazing. Legends are still a good product for the price point but I’d like to see Hasbro introduce a premium price point and compete with the imports on a more even ground.
I personally feel like he shouldn’t be that much taller than him even if he is supposed to be an adult, also I think he knows he did do a review on him after all
Replacement Username good point there but by comic bio on their height the teenage miles is only 2 inches shorter than adult Peter. I would imagine adult Miles from the Gwen pool comic be taller. Anyway, it’s all just personal preference lol also I think the perception of they should be around the same height comes from Hasbro being cheap and has always used the same body for everything.
@@gamehypothesis1823 looks like UU put Miles closer to the camera. I have both of the figures and while Miles’ shoulders sit higher than Peter’s they’re still both pretty much exactly the same height to the top of the head if you push their pins all the way down.
I didn't think I would want another Spiderman figure but Retro Spidey definitely looks like a lot of fun. ML has come a long way and I am very impressed with what they are doing with the line. Mafex is still No 1 for me, but I think Retro Spidey would be a figure I would just have on my desk, pose around and not have to worry about being too careful with joints breaking or something. I'm probably the only one, but ML are imports for me here in Japan. 40-50 for a popular character like this, and that's if I can even find one compared to 70 for Mafex which I can just run down to the store and pick up. Retro Spidey reminds me of Snap Shot Spidey which is still one of my favourite Spiderman figures. Really enjoyed the detailed review mate!
It's the price and head sculpt for me. I don't like the giant eyes, I'm more partial to the romita and ditko, ross style of spiderman. And for the price I could buy 4 compared to the mafex, I will be getting the brown suit wolverine mafex I think that figure is worth the price of admission. But great review of both figures. Outstanding!
Legends has shitty head articulation and while he can crunch deeper he can't do side to side or back nearly as well. Both the thigh cut and the boot cut look ugly when in use and the hands can only pivot one direction. Then there is the biggest flaw which is that you can't get him to twist to the side without making him look really bad using the upper articulation. Btw all these things and the toe articulation are important for spider-Man when doing wall crawling poses which are just as important as swinging and crouching. If Hasbro fixes the head and manage to add a swivel under the ab crunch then it would be mostly as movable, but it would still look worse with how they do their cuts. I'm not saying it isn't worth it for the price. But if you remove the price issue then Mafex is easily and objectively better. If you don't care enough about Spider-Man to pay 80+ for one figuree or you really can't get with the color on the Mafex then the Legends one is a good pick for sure. But it's really not as close in the sculpt and articulation as you make it out.
AnthonysCustoms is getting to me. I am not a fan of this Spider-Man, or atleast not as much as I was originally. It looks decent, but it isn't the Mafex version. Mafex as moves organically, something most MLs haven't pulled off.
The Raven what they really need to do is ball pegs for the torso all around. But keep in mind that because Hasbro market these as age-4+ they need to make these figures fall within certain amount of “parts” . ball pegs vs what they are doing now will make the figure easier to take apart and becomes more “parts” and they can’t market as Age-4+ anymore
@@Levi_52_336 Same. AnthonysCustoms is right. Hasbro has shown they can do better with their other lines and ML figures. And they're not giving it to Spidey. The praise from early reviews is mostly blinded by new articulation hype being touted by Hasbro. These new articulation points is "all talk, no substance".
A re-release of the Legends would be awesome - they could fix the neck joint/do away with the cut in back of neck, cover joint pins, include wall crawling hands, weblines or even a Spider-sense effect
I want hasbro next year to make a deluxe tobey maguire for the 20th anniversary for that movie that comes with fists, wall crawling hands, thwipping hands, and web gripping hands. Also web effects, a half masked and unmasked alternate heads
The muscle tone is really a deal-breaker for me with the Retro Spider-Man. Yes, old school Spider-Man had more meat on his bones than modern Spider-Man, but he didn't have the muscle tonality of an athlete. The muscles of the lower torso are too marked and the upper legs look like hams. He could have been more buff than Pizza Spider-Man, but he should have kept the sleekness of his body contour.
All ML has jacked up muscle definition like they are on roids, so it’s really not surprising. The only part that it looks weird are those giant bulging thighs...
FrankW1029 I like it, it looks like his legs are flexing mid pose. I cycle about 20 miles a day on average and my thighs are genuinely that out-of-proportion as well lol
Yeah that was the one I had in my collection for a while. Its a solid figure and the costume design is so close to the comics that he works just as well in a comic style display as he does in a movie display. I got a great deal on a Pizza Spidey so eventually I did upgrade but if it hadn't been for that I'd have happily stuck with the ASM2 version. The only downside was that it had sculpted weblines and I've always preferred painted on, so I'm glad ML is going in that direction with their more recent Spidey figures.
Recently the hinge for the hand got stuck inside the wrist so now I have a handless TASM2 figure which sucks because I’ve had it for 6 years but yeah that figure is great. Unique sculpt, sculpting webbing, great articulation with the exception of his legs not spreading out. That figure is awesome and it’s been slept on because it’s a movie figure.
Of course the Legends one is now so expensive you might as well get the Mafex. Why'd I have to want a Spidey so soon AFTER one just came out in the ML line? Such is life I suppose.
Grabbed mine from Target last week and also had paint rub on the shoulders. It's a great design, but it's hard to appreciate it's articulation when paint chips while moving it.
I own both the pizza spidey and the mafex spidey and I use to own McFarlane spidey, I can say whole heartedly that the mafex if the best spidey fig we've received although the price is hiked a bit too much i think a more appropriate price for such a figure would be within the 40-60 dollar range
A more interesting comparison could be with the newer comic book cell shading Spider-Man from Mafex, which I have. Waiting on the Hasbro one. They're both 2-3 different artist interpretations to me, so there is no wrong answer. I believe it comes down to which artist you prefer; Steve Ditko/John Romita (Hasbro) or Mark Bagley (Mafex).
I have both and the only thing that makes me like the ML a little more is that I don´t feel that I'm gonna break it, I'm always afraid when I use my Mafex Spidey...
@@UnparalleledUniverse haha yeah and I would say to date the jim lee warlock wave one is the best out of mafex, mezco but that px exclusive version from mezco looks solid.
I love the mafex one, definitive spider man for me as it has that bagley style. I'm really curious if hasbro could try pulling something similar off unlike there previous Bagley style ultimate spider man which didn't work for me
I've been waiting for this one Wade, and damn you never disappoint dude! From an objective standpoint of engineering, paint, articulation, and accessories, the Mafex Spider-Man is undoubtedly better. But from a subjective standpoint, I'm one of those rare people who can't STAND the 90s design for Spider-Man. John Romita Sr. is the GOAT when it comes to drawing Spider-Man IMO, so the I personally prefer the Legends Spider-Man by a mile
the ML one isn't bad like you said, but Hasbro needs to do way more to catch up in engineering. i.e. peg-less, go with ball-peg in the upper and lower torso, hide those ugly thigh and boot swivel (because when those rotates they are fugly). other than joints being peg-less they also need to smooth out the joints instead of giving them those notches that gets weaker overtime. AND most importantly, new molds for each characters which we all know that's not going to happen. import figures cost more also because they are willing to spend the money on new molds to make a new figure even if it's just a costume change. i.e. brown costume Wolverine is getting new torso, new claw piece, new head sculpts, new shoulder.
Yeah but if a line like ML has the widest variety of comic characters which people want to buy a lot of to collect, they can't make it as expensive as an import figure. Unfortunately sacrificing the quality in the process but it's alright tbh. Plus the price range isn't too bad for most ML figures
@@liltaco4119 valid point, but sure they can. they don't need to take the figure up to $50-60 SHF range or $70-80 MAFEX range, but they can easily do $25-30 that gives you more accessories, unique sculpt, better paint, and better execution in the joints. i.e. movie Cable, Hugh Jackman, etc. that recently came out. take a look at ZD Toys MK3, MK2, and the MK4 that just announced. These are $25-30 figures officially licensed figures also. If a smaller Chinese based company that can offer these type of paint and accessories and packaging, Hasbro certainly can.
I’m sorry but I can not get over that 100 price mark for Mafex. When the 20 dollar almost completes. That makes it not even close. Let’s not forget the break ability factor to
Yeah I agree. If there's minimal difference in quality but one costs a quarter of the price of the other, I'd think that would tip the balance in its favour.
I have 3 of the Mafex Spider-Man figures, and I really like them a lot. I haven't managed to get my hands on one of new Hasbro Vintage Spideys yet, so I can't really judge which one I think is the best. But from the videos I've seen I am not liking the head articulation set-up on the Hasbro fig. I also don't like the visible pegs (especially the red dots on the inside of his elbows). I am also a big fan of the classic Bronze-Age Spider-Man, but I still feel that the Mafex figure looks better over all. So, I have to agree with your final assessment.
I don't like how the muscles look on the Marvel Legends figure and how some of the articulation is implemented. I hate those red pegs on the arms (the new pegless system is a major upgrade though). Like you said, Hasbro deluxe figures are the future of the line. Can't wait for War Machine!
17:45 - That's a _'Truer words have never been spoken'_ statement. For collectors that haven't owned any imports like this, it's hard to convey. Even when I'm holding and (not breaking) articulating a NECA figure, you can see and feel the difference. Hasbro just uses cheap recycled plastics. Doesn't make them fragile or bad at all, just not top quality stuff. If Hasbro would use non gummy and shinny plastic (for example), I'd definitely have no problem paying $30 instead of $20. But, too many get made, and too many younger ppl collect...so gotta keep the cost down.
Am I the only one who loathes the Mafex Spidey? Mine came with the classic Mafex qc issues. Everytime I try to move his legs they’re so stiff that I’m scared they’re gonna break and makes me not want to pose him at all. Add a messed up looking knee joint (to me at least) and it makes me regret purchasing one. I can’t wait to get that Legends spidey in hands though.
It’s ML Spidey for me based on price, the head sculpt, the paint colour and body lines. It does what I need it to do posing wise and I’m able to get most of the wave at the same price point. The packaging is amazing too.
Recently got the Mafex Spider-man and it is easily my favourite Spider-man figure, just wish those damn wrist pegs weren't more fragile than Gwen's neck

But from a subjective standpoint, I'm one of those rare people who can't STAND the 90s design for Spider-Man. John Romita Sr. is the GOAT when it comes to drawing Spider-Man IMO, so the I personally prefer the Legends Spider-Man by a mile
Oh hey!!! You're the shartimusprime nipple guy, I remember you!
NotTooFast Always a pleasure to meet a fan ;)
NotTooFast Hahhahahahahahahhahahha
15:30 i am so happy that he said what i said in the comments of the War Machine video (hopefully cuz ill look dumb)
Would you prefer the normal color versus the cellshaded for the Mafex Spiderman?
the ML one isn't bad like you said, but Hasbro needs to do way more to catch up in engineering. i.e. peg-less, go with ball-peg in the upper and lower torso, hide those ugly thigh and boot swivel (because when those rotates they are fugly). other than joints being peg-less they also need to smooth out the joints instead of giving them those notches that gets weaker overtime. AND most importantly, new molds for each characters which we all know that's not going to happen. import figures cost more also because they are willing to spend the money on new molds to make a new figure even if it's just a costume change. i.e. brown costume Wolverine is getting new torso, new claw piece, new head sculpts, new shoulder.
Yeah but if a line like ML has the widest variety of comic characters which people want to buy a lot of to collect, they can't make it as expensive as an import figure. Unfortunately sacrificing the quality in the process but it's alright tbh. Plus the price range isn't too bad for most ML figures
@@liltaco4119 valid point, but sure they can. they don't need to take the figure up to $50-60 SHF range or $70-80 MAFEX range, but they can easily do $25-30 that gives you more accessories, unique sculpt, better paint, and better execution in the joints. i.e. movie Cable, Hugh Jackman, etc. that recently came out. take a look at ZD Toys MK3, MK2, and the MK4 that just announced. These are $25-30 figures officially licensed figures also. If a smaller Chinese based company that can offer these type of paint and accessories and packaging, Hasbro certainly can.
@@FrankW1029 yeah i guess so
Awesome review!! Can you tell me where I can get information about hasbro is trying to pegless??
5:20 how did you take it apart?
The ML retro version is the 90's cartoon version. Not meant to resemble comic spider-man
11:14 How he is moving the head is hilarious, like bro has to be crying under the mask right now
Chungus1Trick or dead under the marks lol
Goodness ML has a great box! Should I open him?
Ohhh that's a tough one but I'm a dangerous person to ask. I will never tell a figure collector to keep something in a box haha.
Romita!
Yes!!!!
We need an updated version w how ML has been doing. I really need to see if that amazing fantasy Holds up w Mafex
Update coming soon!
Ohhhhh man!!! 😍I am so excited for this Video.. Greetings Bro 🙌
😄that Muhammad Ali pose at the end 👏👏👏
Are you going to get the Mafex carnage? Looks awesome!
I’m sorry but I can not get over that 100 price mark for Mafex. When the 20 dollar almost completes. That makes it not even close. Let’s not forget the break ability factor to
Yeah I agree. If there's minimal difference in quality but one costs a quarter of the price of the other, I'd think that would tip the balance in its favour.
0:20 HAHA MADE MY DAY BROTHER!!!✊👍
Had to get it in there before I forgot hahahaha.
@@UnparalleledUniverse Thought you forgot about me in the stream!, your a g man!🙌
I have 3 of the Mafex Spider-Man figures, and I really like them a lot. I haven't managed to get my hands on one of new Hasbro Vintage Spideys yet, so I can't really judge which one I think is the best. But from the videos I've seen I am not liking the head articulation set-up on the Hasbro fig. I also don't like the visible pegs (especially the red dots on the inside of his elbows). I am also a big fan of the classic Bronze-Age Spider-Man, but I still feel that the Mafex figure looks better over all. So, I have to agree with your final assessment.
Mafex Miles morales is supposed to be his Adult version like from the Gwenpool comic. Miles becomes taller than Peter.
I don't like how the muscles look on the Marvel Legends figure and how some of the articulation is implemented. I hate those red pegs on the arms (the new pegless system is a major upgrade though).
Like you said, Hasbro deluxe figures are the future of the line. Can't wait for War Machine!
I wanna ask what do you think is the best have brand for action figure?
17:45 - That's a _'Truer words have never been spoken'_ statement. For collectors that haven't owned any imports like this, it's hard to convey. Even when I'm holding and (not breaking) articulating a NECA figure, you can see and feel the difference. Hasbro just uses cheap recycled plastics.
Doesn't make them fragile or bad at all, just not top quality stuff. If Hasbro would use non gummy and shinny plastic (for example), I'd definitely have no problem paying $30 instead of $20. But, too many get made, and too many younger ppl collect...so gotta keep the cost down.
Been waiting weeks for this video! So hyped!!
Can you do a best Venom comparison video?
Oh shit! You did the comparison!!! Hell yeah!!!
The mafex is good but I don't like the feet
If you repaint the pegs I think it would be perfect. I'm going to search for him within the next few days
Great review... I have both and I like them both but the look and proportions of the Mafex just makes it my favorite
I would put them both in my number one spot because they’re two different types of styles of Spider-Man
Mafex is still the best no one can change my mind
Awesome Spider-Man figures
best 6 inch movie spiderman figures next please
I can't afford many action figures so watching your videos and reviews make me happy. I hope one day I can buy a spiderman figure
Am I the only one who loathes the Mafex Spidey? Mine came with the classic Mafex qc issues. Everytime I try to move his legs they’re so stiff that I’m scared they’re gonna break and makes me not want to pose him at all. Add a messed up looking knee joint (to me at least) and it makes me regret purchasing one. I can’t wait to get that Legends spidey in hands though.
Bro, Put some petroleum jelly on the joints to loosen them up.
Geek Incheek If I have to perform surgery and maintenance on a figure I paid over $90 straight from a retailer, then it’s a bad figure
I like these kind of videos, hope you do Punisher in the future. All ML Punisher vs Mezco Punisher.
how to know if my mcf spiderman is authentic or nah?
It’s ML Spidey for me based on price, the head sculpt, the paint colour and body lines. It does what I need it to do posing wise and I’m able to get most of the wave at the same price point. The packaging is amazing too.
Loved the video! Can't find Retro Spidey anywhere, though. Will have to wait for my pre-order 😐
