Mama mia! That's a one a spicy meatball!

Booster Gold 05-21-2021 11:37 AM

No thread for DKR Superman?

emeraldnite 05-21-2021 12:25 PM

I'll stick with the ML 3 Pack version. What would have tempted me (and what I think should come with Jean figures) is some sort of effect that can go around/attach to her head, since she is telekinetic and that's where her power comes from (not her hands).

Chopper Face 05-21-2021 12:57 PM

So far the character choices from Sideshow Collectibles 1/6 figures has perfectly mirrored Mafex so, if by some further crazy coincidence, this means Jean will be next in the 1:6 line I’ll be a very happy bunny.

IzzyTipsy 05-21-2021 01:28 PM

Since I missed the 3 pack version, this looks like a winner to me.
I'm definitely getting their Psylocke.

MeLikeJinx 05-21-2021 03:00 PM

I like how shiny the blue parts are... one of the reasons why I still like Rocket Raccon wave Legends Jean Grey more than the 3 Pack Jean Grey.

merzad 05-21-2021 08:22 PM

yea, I agree, Jean Greys need head effects, or at least something that can hold something else, I imagine I'll have her levitating all the spare weapons in the collection, but some pink effect to hold the weapons would have been great, i think their magneto also has a similar issue, its got hand effects but needs something more...

I think mafex has now entered a place where it knows we're gonna buy what it puts out for whatever price it puts it out for and isn't trying as hard as it was before, whereas amazing Yamaguchi is still trying a whole lot harder which I appreciate.

0reser0 05-21-2021 10:25 PM

I would have bought any of the MAFEX figures if they addressed the QC issues plaguing their figures.

JerpJerp 05-21-2021 11:01 PM

Looking good!
 
Woohoo! More Xmen! Jean is looking good. I like the effect pieces.

redfox 05-21-2021 11:08 PM

Hmmmmmm, love Jean, but the faces don't look the best. She just looks kinda bored.

Regardless, I can't wait to see their eventual takes on Storm and Rogue.

RodimusZX 05-22-2021 04:12 AM

I’m sure they got shot down/told off in Marvel approvals, but I would’ve liked an even sexier Jean, more Jim Lee.

Getting some anime-ish vibes from the unmasked head, not really sure what illustrations they were going off of here...

I've been buying almost all of the latest Mafex figures and their QC is good now. I haven't had any major issues in a long time with them.

You must be one of the few, because i have seen A LOT of people with snapped Superman joints, myself included. In just 2 days, with minimal use, the bottom knee joint snapped. Had to wait 3 months for a replacement leg (arrived a couple days ago) on top of 1 year and 9 months that the figure was delayed for originally. And now I keep him in the box cause I am too scared to do jack.

I mean, I ll buy her cause she looks alright but they sure could work a bit harder on delivering. Meanwhile, I do believe she could look sexier but at least she seems better looking compared to Catwoman. It looks like they cant get the female faces quite right, still.

SuperWeird 05-22-2021 03:40 PM

I love Mafex, some of the best action figures I own are from them (Spider-Man, Hush Superman and Batman for example), but at $100 a pop I’m only buying my very favorite characters from them. I don’t think Jean Grey qualifies, and the Marvel Legends version is good enough for me.

BWfan86 05-22-2021 05:07 PM

Finally, a high end jean grey. Although like others have said, not the best.

Given other MAFEX offerings, I wonder if this portends other high end Jean Grey coming from other companies soon - they always seem to coincide with Mezco or Revoltech offerings

Same!

Runamuck 05-22-2021 10:21 PM

Hope the preorders go up soon!

Joe Moore 05-23-2021 05:41 PM

Pre-orders going live now.

Hope those that really want this are fortunate and dont have any QC issues. I do have and liked MAFEX's DC offerings versus their Marvel with few exceptions...

Much like with their Psylocke definitely not 90's/Jim Lee enough for me. Face sculpt wise looks more of a Mary Jane than a Jean. Will continue to wait on.

dukefett 05-24-2021 12:25 PM

Preordered this and Superman at HLJ. I wish Amazon Japan's preorder shipping price for Mafex's would go down. It's absurd now, like $40 per figure. But when they come into stock it's half that or less.

Can't wait for MAFEX's Psylocke. I have it preordered at BBTS.

I want this. It looks amazing.,

Athenaeus 07-15-2021 09:12 AM

Unacceptable Fail
 
Face-Sculpt BEYOND Awful, No TV Style Poneytail + Hair Wrong Style + Too Big, Costume Too Yellow. Aside from the "Telekinesis Effect" this figure is already a Colossal Disappointmemt and since so many Custom Artists and Manufacturers have ALREADY put-out VASTLY Superior Versions with Modified, Interchanged, and Custom Parts this is even more unacceptable.
