MAFEX C-3PO and BB-8 Star Wars: The Force Awakens Medicom
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- When I think back to the first Medicom MAFEX C-3PO. I only remember pain. Suffering. Despair. So I told myself I would never get the Star Wars: The Force Awakens version with BB-8. I wish I hadn't listened to myself, this set is awesome!

i never thought i would live to see an army of C-3PO, BB-8 and R2-D2, what a time to be alive
Not to mention R5-D4.
"Hmmmmm
Looks cool
But...."
The phrase everyone uses when it comes to Mafex
I laughed at the "huh" at 0:01
LOL
It would have been awesome had they given you a second gold left arm. Would have made it the perfect model then.
That's for all the Star Wars lately! I love Star Wars figures so much but don't have money for them. These videos make my day.
Haha, it looks like it's going to keep going too. It comes and goes but it's hitting hard right now.
Black Series C3PO is one of my fav black series, but you've somehow managed to add this set to my list of wants. You're a plastic-convincing wizard, Robo.
Just spreading the good word, my man!
Is that C3PO? I probably didn't recognise him due to the red arm
Heh.
If you were a daily customer on /prequelmemes this would bring ya psycodellic memories from last week lol
That BB-8 is awesome. WANT.
Truth be told, C-3PO with a red arm is probably the most endearing I've ever found him. I was kind of anti-C-3PO prior to TFA but his joke about the red arm was perfect. It still makes me chuckle. If I wasn't content with the Black series version I would probably get this.
I just put it on the shelf with the red arm still on it but I still lean towards OT 3PO.
Wow, I'm tempted to pick this up now! I wish they made it where BB-8 could roll like in the movie with the way Hot Toys did their BB-8, but other than that, this BB-8 could be used for a shelf display and since I hollowed out the base of my Bandai BB-8 to roll like in the movie, I can use the Bandai BB-8 for film making! This C-3PO blew my mind though and I don't even have him... it's like Figuarts Harley from Suicide Squad all over again! LMAO!!! I bet Figuarts R2 and 3PO will be the same exact way until I get them! I really need a 6 inch 3PO from the Galactic Era or even the Clone Wars era or at least one I can use for TCW (my favorite era) and I'm also trying to find that perfect R2. I hope they manage to make a 1/12 scaled BB-8 that rolls like the movie model but I don't know if it'll happen. But we can always hope, right?
Robo man, I love how your figures conive to prove you wrong on camera. It's almost like they're unionized haha
Haha, they band together to make me look like a dork when the camera comes on.
Man, I have the first Threepio Artoo set, and mine has literally no problems, and he's taken a dive off my table. He is loose, but nothing comes apart. I guess I got lucky? O_o
Yeah, sounds like you got lucky. I've heard more horror stories than good.
And now I will be taking my BB8 model kit apart and adding a bearing and magnet!
I just got mine and I'm wrapped with them . They are much nicer in hand and the 3po doesn't fall apart like the last release .
Wrapped? But I hear ya, much better construction here, and I love the BB-8.
Yeh "wrapped" is a last generation Aussie term. It did cross my mind as I typed it that maybe its not used outside Australia. It means "really pleased."
my Mafex experience so far: Empire Boba, looks great, hands fall off too easy, overall I don't regret it. Kylo ren: face does not look as good as it did in promo pics, soft goods are not great, saber and helmet are awesome, I could have skipped it, Phasma, everything about her is great I love her. I have this 3p0 and bb8 on the way, glad to see they will likely fall in the boba fett category.
Yeah, that's a good way to sum it up.
when he slams the box down and his leg pops off😂😂😂😂😂
Bwahaha! I didn't even notice that. So I DID pop the leg myself!
"That's so wizard!" Kitster black series! Obviously your subconscious wants this.
It took several comments like this to make me realize what was going on. I feel....ashamed, haha.
If it takes a little super gluing here 'n' there it's not so bad given that the figure is probably the best looking one out there. I know you shouldn't have to put in elbow grease out of the package, but I don't see a big deal about it...! Or am I wrong?
mafex is slowly listening to you Robo...slowlyyyyyy
EZCompany Gaming & Collectibles hello there
EZCompany Gaming & Collectibles congrats on 1 k subs keep it up
thanks man, im slowly creeping up there
loved the video Robo! I just might go snag me a Mafex episode 7 3P0 BB-8 set now...
My One Complaint about the C-3PO is that some of the Proportions are Off. Mainly, the Crotch Part of the Hips is too Narrow, and the Flares at the Upper Thigh at the Hip Flare Out too much.
Time to add the SH Figuarts to that C3PO collection!
Yup, and R2 too!
Just got this set - wow! New sculpt for C-3PO head and much improved (i.e. doesn't fall apart at all). Hoping for a "New Hope" C-3PO 2.0 using this updated sculpt. There is precedence for this with their Dark Knight stuff. Great Review!!!
You know, you're right. They should totally go back and do a ANH 2.0.
2.0 would easily replace SHF C-3PO for me. Any word on MAFEX Star Wars in 2018? Sent them several suggestions (in Japanese, via translator) about tackling the remaining ESB bounty hunters...
It's a good problem! One can never have too many C-3POs and R2-D2s.
They are taking over the shelf, haha! I need to go back and get the Revos...
If you didn't say he was c3p0 I wouldn't have recognized him !lol
BatChicken Chicken the red arm
Robo, stop showing me figures I have to immediately get a hold of, this is getting expensive! Great review by the way, Mafex has come a long way from the disaster Dark Knight figure and that poor poor C3PO.
Yeah, I really feel they are getting things tightened up at the factory level. It's still not perfect, and still more problematic than other companies, but still improvement. Gah, that first 3PO....
Hey robo, can you please review the sh figuarts Rogue One stormtrooper
I didn't get that one, I feel like all of the armored characters in SHF are a little too small.
dang, looks like a great set here. if I'm being honest though, the gold sheens look reversed to me. 3P0 was very dull in the force awakens and pretty shiny in the original trilogy if I remember correctly... Model kit is still king for me!
I think of the first MAFEX 3PO as early ANH, in the desert, directly afterwards. That's probably my favorite finish.
in tfa c3po wasn't this shiny he was actually surprisingly dull
Haha, I love how stuff doesn't fall off, stands up perfectly, fits perfectly etc...when on camera XD.
Good review, nice feature with the weight / magnet in BB8 too, though I'm sticking with my model kit R2 and C3PO for now - Figuarts will have to smash it out of the park to get me to consider them.
If you're getting the Figuarts versions too, will you have every 6 inch version of the two of them? #starwarsproblems :)
All except the Revoltechs. I passed on those because of how cartoony they look but not I'm kind of wanting. Mostly because of how cartoony they look. And I don't have them. So I want them. Blah.
Haha, I love it - you must be really good aslt hiding stuff or have a very understanding other half!
dang. now I kinda want this. what are you doing to me robo. ha ha ha
I am spreading the good plastic word! It's not my fault!
Ha ha ha.
So the BB-8 is basically the magnet mod i already did to my model kit?
I'm good lol
Robo, we went back and forth a bit about C3PO and the Mandela Effect and it seems to have struck again with this review. The first version has a gold foot and silver lower leg and that's exactly how I remember and it just looks right compared to the other versions which are either completely gold or have the lower leg and foot silver. I just can't let this go. Very trippy to me. Another thing I recently noticed and wanted your opinion on is chewie's bow caster. Everything I've seen recently show the scope piece on the top as two small scopes side by side with a tube in between them. My memory of it is of one large scope on top. Thoughts?
***** Look into the Mandela Effect. It's pretty freaky if you look a bit in depth without dismissing it before hand. I know the way it currently is but I have (as well as thousands and thousands of others) have very vivid memories of things being different when we first saw them but history shows there was never a change although you can find plenty of residual proof left over if you search. Look up videos by Moneybag on RUclips to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
Gah, I forgot all about that. Again, haha.
Great review!
I think I will stick with the model kits as I still don't trust mafex
British Modeller plus you'd have to change your username
Oh, nothing wrong with that at all.
Hey dude can you tell me which R2-D2 did you use in the last photos, wouldn't mind one
That's the MAFEX R2 that came with the first C-3PO last year. It's amazing. Nice size, nice weathering, and comes with a drink tray from Jabba's palace.
For the original trilogy c 3po isn't there a silver right leg? I think that and the arm are the difference
Gah, yeah, I forgot about that.
The Fwoosh lol I barely notice the leg at times in the films. I wonder if the right leg from the old C-3PO is also interchangeable like the red arm
would you say you prefer mafex line over all other in the 6 inch
MAFEX as a whole or with these two. These two, at the moment, yeah, I prefer them. Overall line, not yet, I still do a lot of mixing and matching.
Hey, Robo!
What kind of glue did you use to attach the back head plate? I have the ROTJ Mafex Boba Fett and one of his shoulder pads was broken off in the package and needs re-glued. Love your reviews, by the way, and thanks in advance!
Walter Hoover gel cyanocrilate or two component epoxy will do the job
Thanks, man! I just use a basic super glue for little stuff like this, Loctite mostly.
I don't know which are the brands there (I live in Chile) but cyanocrilate is the basic active component. Do you understand what I mean by "gel"? I don't know how they call that kind of glue there, maybe "jelly"... It's the one that's not liquid, but a bit solid, that one is better for this as its not only stronger and gap filler, but it has some flexibility too. You can't go wrong with 2 component epoxy tho, it's the stronger one, just make sure to build a small machine to keep it strongly pressed in precise place for 10 mins to achieve optimal results :p
The Fwoosh Thanks!
Vicente Thanks!
not going to lie but for a force awakens version of 3PO I like the black series figure. but for an OT 3po the black series one doesn't look that great.
You know, that's exactly what I thought before this set. I had the SWBS TFA 3PO on the shelf, no problem at all, but now, I don't know.
Last?
Not quite, haha.
Oh I didn't recognise C-3PO.
toooldforstarwars Its probably because of the red arm.
If I were you I'd give c3po a dull coat to be more accurate and not as shiny
Yeah, I'm probably going to give that a try.
He is not shiny in the film. He is more like the Hasbro than this figure.
Thats definitely not the same sculpt as the first Mafex 3p0. ESPECIALLY the head. This head has a much better, more accurate sculpt.
I don't know man, I'm sitting here looking both over and they really seem the same. Different sheens but that looks to be the only difference.
You have a problem?....i don't see a problem at all.
So it's a good problem? Good, good, heh.
You say it looks good, but I can't see the likeness to Threepio. He looks like a completely different droid. I just don't recognise it.
That may be because of the red arm. He gets that a lot.
Is it actually? Well I hope they expand upon it in the next film and not change it in the last scene to obviously make it just a new toy variant :)
Good.
A VERY good problem!
lol
Haha, I'll take it!
👍👍👍👍👍😱😱😱
First?
First!
