Thanks for the heads up!

With their McFarlane Venom and Spider-Man, Deadpool, they're knocking it out of the damn park!

I also have their Darth Vaders, Joker 2.0, Dark Knight 3.0, Harley Quinn in dress and a few others and they're fantastic. Their quality used to be garbage but damn they stepped it up. I have over a 100 figuarts but I'm starting to think Mezco is surpassing them lately.

Dark Knight 3.0 is awesome i'm limiting myself to DC figures with MAFEX as thats a line i dont think is going to die due to fixing their QC issues if Mafex do a DC line based off their comics then they can take all of my money

I'm split. Mafex has been on a roll lately but I'm getting my fill of yellow and blue wolverine. And it sounds too tall. But Mafex figures have been great and that's likely to be the best official unmasked Wolvie.

Yeah I don't know why the height is bothering me so much lol. Been thinking about it, I have the Revo Wolverine and really love it. I wanted a brown suit too and was gonna pick up the Mezco. Maybe Mafex will do a brown suit version down the line.

I'll still preorder this at HLJ since it's easy to cancel, but not sure I need it.

I'm not much of a Wolverine guy, but this looks excellent and the recent Mafex figures have been my favorites of 2018, so I might have to pick this guy up. I'd love to see them do Gambit and Captain America, but like others have said, if they start doing DC Comic version figures I'm going to go broke.

Toonstrack · 01-22-2019, 11:40 AM

It looks fantastic but it also says hes gonna be 6.2 inches which may be a bit big...

That's basically my plan. But the height always seems to be a sticking point on Wolverine figures since that's a kinda big part of the character. With Mafex's scale, 5.5-5.7" is probably better range. But I think 6.3 might just be a place holder. I can't see a legible measurement anywhere in the picture and 6.3 is about the same as all the other Mafex Marvel figures. But the Revoltech is 6.1 and once you get him hunched down, he looks fine.

like most- waiting on a true size before jumping on this one.Mafex Deadshot it HUGE compared to my other 1:12 figures -which works great with Mafex Phasma, but might end up making Wolverine too tall for my liking... just have to wait and see some side-by-sides with other figures...

While most Mafex figs are at the 6.3 inch size, some are not. For example Iron Spider from Infinity War is 5.7 inches and Big Chap Alien is 8 inches. I do agree Mafex has stepped up. It seems they are trying to build their figures to scale for the most part. The increased quality of the more recent figures is reflected in the price. Early Mafex figures were around $50 while the newer figures are around $90. I've always believed you get what you pay for and Mafex figures are a perfect example of this. While I am a Mezco guy, Mafex is making some pretty sharp figures these days and they scale nicely with my one 12's and my
Marvel Legends. Which is why I have a few Mafex on pre-order. I much prefer Mafex over Figuarts. The Figuarts seem small in comparison to the others. Not just height but, overall size

Figuarts are definitely overall smaller figures, likely due to Figuarts starting out as primarily a Kamen Rider figure line.

Time to sell off my ML Wolverine then.

snake5289 · 01-22-2019, 03:15 PM

Even though I prefer the Astonishing/modern version of the yellow and blues I'ma need to get this.

Jeddostotle7 · 01-22-2019, 03:53 PM

Just for reference, y'all: pretty much all MAFEX figures are solicited with the height listed as "6.3 inches", no matter what their actual height is. For example, MAFEX Gwenpool was solicited as "6.3 inches", but she actually turned out slightly shorter than the Marvel Legends Gwenpool. So don't fret: this Wolverine will most likely be of reasonable shortness.

AlvineHomesland · 01-22-2019, 10:11 PM

now, i'm a fan of mafex. Hope they will make Batman comic verion

Captainkrabs · 01-23-2019, 02:21 AM

Promo pics! How awesome is this guy? The piece with the cowl hanging in the back is a very nice touch too.

Wait... the stripes are blue instead of black? Huh. Not a strictly bad choice, but I feel like it kinda messes with how they tied in with the black on the mask and the boots.

Grant C · 01-23-2019, 02:46 AM

Wow! What a great looking figure! I need to add this one to the collection for sure!

I noticed the promo pic of the back of the packaging shows black stripes.

Huh... curious.

Love this!! Really hope the stripes are actually going to be black with final figure.

Thanks again!

Raynys · 01-23-2019, 05:22 AM

Blue tiger stripes, long mask ears, too long and straight claws...what a mess.

deecee4 · 01-23-2019, 05:26 AM

Not for me but that's still pretty cool. I'm digging the John Byrne-esque head sculpts.
