These look pretty good but didn't realize Superman's costume is textured all over-even on his boots. would've been nice if there was more contrast to break up that texture more. Also, Flash's costume reminds me of the Eddie Van Halen's striped guitar, heh, which I think is kind of cool.

Iam a little bit angry, because Mafex releases Figures like Superman again only with better Face Sculpts.

Now i have to sell my Mafex Batman and Superman, to get this better Version. Supermans Skin Color and Face Sculpt is A LOT Better than
the previous one.

Batman and Supermans Head sculpt are even better than the ones from S.H. Figuarts / Bandai.

Flash also looks very awesome. I think i will buy every 3 Figures in on go from Nippon Yasan.

My goodness....Flash looks Amazing!!!! Mafex is my go to line.

Supes looks nicer than the first. Hoping they corrected the joints. The faces look good. The angry face looks a tad off as most expression faces do, but yeah...fantastic.

Cannot wait to own. Great job by Mafex as it has officially replaced my superhero needs from Figuarts. All I need is more Star Wars from Mafex and I am set.

Mafex promo shots always look better than what gets released. Especially where faces are concerned. That's what I have to keep reminding myself every time I look at their JL figures and wonder why I'm opting for figuarts.

Flash looks good but I prefer SH Figuarts. Dont really care about the unmasked head for him as I wouldnt really display it that way anyway. Besides I already have the blue lightning from Figuarts and that will go perfectly with Flash.

I see people commenting about Ezra Miller is supposed to have blonde hair as the Flash? huh?

The dot matrix looks like this up close but in had the figures usually look great. I have no idea why people are claiming otherwise. By now we know how it works and these figures look fantastic.

Barry looks really good. I'm still concerned about scale though.

I'm curious how Batman is going to stack up next to the original. I prefer the BvS to the JL look, but the first one's chest was just too narrow. Can't tell if this one will have the proper broad look like the SHF.

These look good but I haven't canceled my preorder for the Figuarts Batman. I'd definitely like to see some shots of Wonder Woman and Flash from both Mafex and Figuarts before I decide which to go with.

And did I miss something? Why is Flash $10 more than Batman and Superman? It can't be the likeness rights. The Knightmare Batman came with an unmasked head and cost the same as the normal Batman.

Barry allen has blonde hair...not black hair. Hell even grant gustins hair is lightly colored. Black hair on Barry doesnt look right. Makes him look all emo....

Are you sure about that? In my Opinion it is the other way.

Knightmare Batmans Unmasked Head, was even better in Hand than it looked on the Pictures.

I have already pre ordered all 3 Figures.
The Accurate Head Sculpts are awesome.

Just compare ALL Mafex Justice League Members with S.H. Figuarts Members (Especially Superman) you will see the difference.
While Bandais Supermans Face looks like an old Man, Mafex one really looks like Henry Cavill.

What picture(s) are you using for comparison? I haven't been able to find any pictures of Figuarts Superman from SDCC, just the group shot from Bandai that recreates the movie poster. And to be honest, that's a pretty terrible picture to use for comparison. Even Batman looks different in that photo when compared to the actual solicitation images Bandai sent out.

Yes i mean the Group Shot with Superman, and the new Pictures of Bandai Batfleck. I can not regonize Ben Afleck (due to his...strange chin)
in their Batman Version. And Superman looks like an old Man.

Hell not even Bandais Wonder Woman looks like Gal Gadot.

How i said before, i really do not know whats going on with Bandai...
they used to make good Figures; just look at their Iron Man Tony Stark Figure
> it REALLY looks like Robert Downey Jr.

But when i see the entire Justice League Team, i do not regonize
Superman, Batfleck or even Wonder Woman...they all look strange to me.

It's strange seeing their first Batfleck from DoJ going for around $25 on eBay (I was personally not a fan of that figure) and now seeing BBTS list this JL version of Batfleck for $79.99...is it really THAT much better? I don't get why these Mafex figures keep rising in price with new releases...

It is overpriced on BBTS though.
Got mine preordered for 54€ with international shipping from Japan...
Also keep in mind that there's also a lot of KO MAFEX BvS Batman on eBay.

Where'd you order it from? I like BBTS for the most part but I've noticed they jacked the prices on all of the incoming Mafex figures...which is disappointing.

Try hlj.com or amiami.com (I personnaly prefer hlj for some reason), they are import websites, but for those kind of figures you will always save a nice chunk of dollars.

Amazon is another good place to look for import figures if you prefer to shop from a US store. There have been times when places like BBTS would charge $60-70 for a figure while Amazon is selling it for under $50. And this is directly from Amazon, not a third party seller on their site.

The head sculpts... no. Batman looks pretty cool though, but I'm not as distracted by his dumb face because he is identifiable as Batman regardless.
