I would say Mafex are in general more delicate than Figuarts. I think in both cases they have some flaws with their earliest figures. All of my Kabuto Figuarts have floppy legs for instance, but they were some of the earliest Figuarts as well. I know of a lot of the Dark Knight - BvS Mafex figures have issues, but the Justice League stuff has been much higher quality.

Does anyone here have a Mafex that actually broke? Were you able to get it replaced?

Mafex on the other hand...definitely delicate and slightly brittle. Also I had issues with floppy joints.

Pretty much 100% this. Mafex has gotten better, but am reading reports of their Iron Spider figure having issues with the spider leg joints breaking pretty easily. Not loving that!

Figuarts are slightly smaller, but then like Black Panther is exactly the same size as the ML figure, so it all depends.

God I hope not, I love Jim Lee but his Joker looks like a messed up marionette :D

The scale is why I'm waiting for some reviews to come in before ordering. MAFEX can be really up and down. If he looks to be ML size I'll grab one- but if he comes in a bit smaller or too tall then I'll be saving the $$$... MAFEX did an awesome job on Deadshot but he's massive compared to every other 6in DC figure I have.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

Yeah, feedback of delicate toys with sliding scales tend to give me pause. This is certainly not a cheap figure. At this price point it should be rock solid. I don't mind the price if the quality is there but if a $70-$90 figure breaks on me while I'm posing it, that's not gonna fly.

I have issue with the follwoing figures:

The Dark Knight triology batman (no.2) despite reviews, I knew his arms would pop off and still got it, yeah but at the time i was like holy crap. Also this was the first figure they did.

Batman V Superman, Dawn of justice: Superman (no.18) his head would easily pop off , again like batman i was like hell why not.

I was also not sure how long this line was going to last at the time as it was new.

That Being said...

BVS armoured Batman (no.23), and BVS batman (no.17) I have zero issues with.

Then I got my hands on The new DK Triology batman (no.53) and recently I got the Justice League Wonder-woman (no.60) and havent had any issues, as well as being impressed with each of these figures.

Yes Mafex had Qualtiy Issues within their joints, but not in scuplture work or paint. Their Joints have been improved with the latest models.
This also there 105th attmept at making a figure so it should be alright.

I hope that this line grows so that they can make DC comic Figures like this Batman HUSH one as well as based off Jim Lee's Style. If your not sure about getting a MAFEX figure watch the reviews first, then buy if available.

i kinda replaced my old TDK triology with the latest one.

Cost and quality are totally separate things. I can buy a $2000 statue, and if I twist the arm and it breaks, that happens. It's not meant for articulation. Same thing with these collectibles. The makers of collectibles don't expect buyers to rigorously play with the figures. These are generally meant to be MISB or "pose once and walk away." I don't think a single designer looks at a toy and says, "I'm gonna make THIS joint weak, just to screw with people." They put every effort into design, and it's more the limited production runs rather than the materials that raises or lowers the price. If Hasbro makes 100,000 of a Legends wave using existing parts they can sell them at a lower price point then if they are using all new parts and only make 10,000.

I've had $300 figures that shatter if you look at them wrong, and $20 that fall off a shelf onto tile and not so much as a scratch.

All that being said, I have the MAFEX Comics Spiderman, and he's FABULOUS. Articulation is smooth as butter, and looks impeccable. I assume the Hush Batman will be made with the same amount of dedication.
