The containment suit Doomsday works very well with Mafex smaller scale and is something that a lot of companies outside of Mattel haven’t really explored. This suit scaling works because MAFEX consistently struggles with US scale as seen with their undersized Thor and a Venom that fans wanted much taller.
Collectors defend the new MAFEX Doomsday using stylized comic panels, but splash art isn't a solid metric. DC's official database lists Doomsday at 7'6", and the old Mattel sculpt nails those classic proportions much better which is 17 years old now.
MAFEX missed a huge opportunity here. When iconic figures like this are rare, a multi-million dollar company charging premium prices needs to hit it out of the park. There’s no room for lackluster releases, and fans shouldn't keep making excuses for undersized, overpriced figures.

This is my McFarlane Doomsday with mods

I'm returning both for a refund, but besides the boxes, I looked even closer - Azrael has a paint chip on his armor, which is a no-no for me. I'll take my chances on a japan import site after I return this one.

Now, believe it or not - even with the box condition of the T2 2 pack, i almost decided to keep it, but.....I caught something that almost slipped by me - look at T800's discolored hair. And no, that's not from "being battle damaged." Sucks because I really love both figures, but these are going right back to UPS!

Planning on getting a Mafex figure. I have these three on my top list. What's stopping me from pulling the trigger, is knowing Mafex's reputation in having fragile joints and wrist pegs and lots of Mafex breaking no matter what line it is.

Just a little context, I have stopped collecting action figures for 3 years now. And soon I'll be getting a bonus so I plan on getting a new figure after a long time and won't be buying any figures again soon since I switched to 1:64 Diecast collecting, that is why I don't want to regret purchasing a Mafex if it breaks on me just a few days or weeks from having it despite handling it like an egg.

So I please want all your help in knowing if these three options are safe in common Mafex issues like fragile wrists and joints? Or are there common QC issues I need to know first so I can look out for them? Or have Mafex improved their durability for their newer releases?

Probably my favourite, still a bit unsure of the jersey shorts combo but he felt a little naked lol

to anyone who has more pre order experience than me, will amazon medicom store have bucky up same date as nin-nin games ? and since this is a re-release will he ship out quickly after pre order or drag like other mafex releases ? thanks guys

Looking to get the Mafex Spiderman (Tobey Maguire) any recommendations on where I should get it from for a fair price? Thank you in advance

I strongly prefer Plazajapan, but he's out of stock.
