I love how you slipped the "SHOCKEEEEERRR" clip in. Absolutely glorious.

The only thing I like better on the Legends is the eyes. I bought the Mafex and I couldn’t be happier with it. Super posability.

Is anybody else not a big accessories person? I like the choices, but I always end up with hands and heads just making it's own collection.

Great video. I love the comparisons between two products from different companies. I bought the ML when it came out, and to be very honest it was the price point (dare I say Hasbro was not expensive!) value that really sold me. The accessories on the Mafex are nice to have but at the price, most of them will be sitting in the bin waiting for me to pose with them so their value is less to me. I love the Diamond MS Venom and am curious to know if you would be doing any Venom comparisons shortly - considering all the product just released from ML lately.

Been looking for this exact comparison review. Thank you!

Having the comic suit spidey mated I can say this. The articulation is amazing for mafex but man the hands look are hella small compared to the rest of the body. I’m surprised they haven’t fixed that yet

Good comparison. One thing that seems to get tossed really quickly that sticks out to me is that you say if you have Pizza Spider-Man, or RYV Spider-Man, you can use those alt heads for Retro Symbiot Spider-Man. By saying that I feel like the RS Spiderman isn’t a $25 figure anymore. Now it’s a $50 or more figure because I need to buy another Spider-Man to make a better comparison because of the alt head. Also the price point isn’t that huge of a gap if you buy from an import site. Mafex Black Suit Spider-Man cost roughly $90 after shipping. If you buy it from a place like BBTS, then yes it would be around the price you mentioned because they love to mark up prices, and you also have to pay taxes. Otherwise, again, really good comparison. Excellent job.

Awesome video! As for me, I still have my 12 inch scale Marvel Legends Black Suit Spidey from a few years ago. I got him and the red suit Spider-Man from when Hasbro was doing a bunch of 12 inch deluxe figures.

3:20 never seen that infamous cover image altered to where the sole of the foot is grey. Looks so bizarre, yet so not out-of-place. You know, more realistic with the lack of blue highlights. Just looks more drab.

Great review man,the mafex one is a remold of the mafex 75

the shoccer bit was the absoloute best

“It even comes with alternate magnet hands and feet- oh thats the the wrong one”

For me, Mafex wins, but only for figures with capes. I love their wire posed capes. But other than that, the regular version will do.

That move to comparing to villains snapped my spine from the whiplash Oh that's not how they say that?

Here’s a cool tip, if you use the ikaris head on the marvel legends black suit spidey I think it looks pretty good but of course you’d have to buy an eternals figure

I fucking love how you slipped in that vodka joke @11:20 lol absolut is my FAVORITE brand of vodka liquor lmao

The only figures that look good using the boot swivel are the iron man figures I. My opinion. Because most have big boots, they are able to hide the swivel better than a character with a skin tight suit like Spiderman. The Spiderman boot swivels look like some on sawed his leg off and put it back in in a different direction.

It depends on the figure for me between Mafex and Marvel Legends. It'd be really cool if you did a Mafex and Marvel Legends Gambit comparison.

My only gripe with Mafex is that damn diaper. I can never get over it.

Just for the way the Legends' spider is broken up at the diaphragm/ab crunch makes me not like it. The pins don't help either, however that's not a deal breaker for me with figures. Also, it doesn't help that I actually broke my Legends Spider-Man almost out of the packaging because his right leg thigh cut was stuck and I basically twisted it off.

Thank you so much for this video because now I know which Symbiote Spiderman to get. :)

He sounds like Rex from Toy Story and I love it I also love his videos

Love the vids. What mic do you use to record? I'm assuming you aren't recording your voice in post. I cant get either of my lav mics to sound half as decent as this.

Obviously I love Mafex but I think the hands are a little small. Other than that I really love it

Where can you get the mafex

Ok very lucky to have most the Spider-Man figures from. The retro wave got classic, black suit an ben Reilly , along with 2099 an cyborg Spider-Man

I have the ML version, and he’s all I need. The Mafex is cool, but the Carny hands and exorbitant price tag are no-gos for me. Accessories a-plenty is fantastic, which I wish ML Spidey came with more, so the Mafex does shine there. Overall, I am happy with my ML version.

I think they used pinless in that new spiderman 5 pack Amazon exclusive

When I first got the black suit marvel legends spiderman on my birthday yesterday September 2 2023 which is saturday the pinless join on the left arm is quite lose it feels like the pinless joint is about to get broken and the left arm is quite lose how to fix those?

Thanks for the very informative review. I was about to buy the Mafex until I saw your review. I already had my Marvel Legends variant for months and didn't appreciate it enough. The proportions are perfect with great articulation. Comes with the necessary hands as well. The mafex one as you stated doesn't look proportional. Too big of a head, small hands etc. To me the only thing mafex has over this is the accessories. Othernthan that, the marvel legends is a better buy. Especially when they release the Vhs line symbiote which is gonna have cell shading and the ryv body and comes with carnage. Still under $100.

I have the Mafex version. Quality control is really bad with this figure. A lot of Black Spidermans have loose legs. It's a good figure, but a pain in the neck to have to get certain things fixed here and there, and then asking for replacement parts. In my opinion, you're better off getting Marvel Legends, because of better quality control and lower price point. When it comes to Mafex, it's only worth $100 price tag if it's detailed, like Cyborg Superman!

I agree about the silhouette of the retro card is superior. Too bad it wasnt on the renew your vows body with oinless construction. Not huge in the all black, but... it's so nice. It's a tough comparison.

It didn’t think you was gonna get this Mafex figure man glad to see I was wrong 😂😂 great comparison as always

Well, there wasn’t really a competition once the marvel legends wasn’t pinless. Love the absolut vodka joke 😂

The hell with it! I'm buying both! And going broke after that, haha

The single hook attachment for thw mafex flight stand is a crotch handle that you combine with the clips for the waist for a more secure grip

The MaFex looks good just not $120+ that good. If anything it looks more like $50-60.

Great review Jason 😎👍

Oooh are you gonna do a Mafex original comic Magneto #179 vs X-Men 97 Magneto comparo?

I may be late but it think it says double trouble because of how there is a normal Mafex Spider-Man figure and a symbiote Mafex Spider-Man figure so it’s referring to that

I love MAFEX figures, but I still get the Hasbro counterparts anyway just because I feel more comfortable playing with them than with the MAFEX. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying MAFEX are fragile but I'm scared of ruining my expensive plastic, lol. MAFEX figures look great but they are the type of figures to take out only when you are planning a photo session. Marvel Legends are more practical in that matter. Both are good in their own way tbh :P

great video iam new to action figures any tips of doing stop motion? if yes comment down below

the mafex one looks great but could just about get 4 retro for the same price thinking I'd go retro....enjoyable as always 🤘

I have both and modded the hell out of the marvel legends just I can tolerate it. But i just have a kraven head on my retro body because the mafex has my preferred body for Spider-Man

I really love your voice. makes me wanna watch

I don’t buy a lot of mafex marvel figures. But I’m a sucker for the black suit. So this is a must get

After watching your video idk if I should get mafex spiderman re issue or this figure I only can get one pls help 😢

i have to say mafex has the best packaging its so cute and compact, i collect mezco and they give you gigantic boxes and tins

The reason it says double trouble on the mafex is because the costume is venom, and spiderman is wearing him

The thing that ruins mafex for me is the tiny wrist pegs that break off so easily. I paid a hefty aftermarket fee for a deadshot a few months ago (130$) and a month later the wrist peg snapped off ever so easily too. I’m gonna go with legends from now on. And it does look better too. The sculpt looks more natural

You forgot the Sandman BAF wave one.

Hey Jason 👋, funny joke on Absolute Carnage LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😄.

PLEASE WHERE DO YOU FIND THE MARVEL LEGENDS

3:35 So the Mafex silhouette has the issues with the upper torso and pelvic area protruding out, while the legends has the roles in the lower abdomen like an inner tube, and the tumor looking growths from the thighs. You can finagle the shoulder heights on Mafex, but the legends has that sloping look. The Mafex is intended to be more dynamically posed, but I don't think the anatomy on the legends one looks quite as good in a vanilla pose. At least hasbro captured the bulkier look of Peter at that time...especially with getting the head and eyes just right.

If you are just going to display I think the ML is fine but for toy Photography its no question the mafex is where its at.

marvel legend have strong joint

There are only two things I don't like from MAFEX. The ball articulation and the price

The Hasbro version of the symbiot Spidey is more playable then the mafex version because the limps come apart and the mafex is mostly just for possing . Plus the Hasbro version is more durable. Because it's made also for kids. Mafex is only for adults. And it's over rated . And it cost to much. But it has its own good in it. .soon Hasbro will continue to improve in it's articulations for a lowered price. While those with mafex find themselves putting the limps that keep falling of it's mafex figures when they play with them. I know this from my experience. So I call this one a tie. Because mafex will probably take care of it's own problem. Too . But . You dint real need to many articulations. If your figures limps keep falling off like your mafex. .does. you have to be lucky to get one that doesn't come apart when you play with them . So I give this one to Hasbro. Even though it's just your basic pose . It's more simple to play with. Mafex is for posing mostly. And to expensive inn a time when Hasbro is price hiking it's figures. During this inflation.

Is their any chance you will be giving away a mafex symbiote spiderman? I'm just wondering, and if so, can I be the first to enter. In my opinion it's reasonable the best black suit spiderman 😁😎👍

low shoulders is definitely more natural looking on a superhero…

If you're just gonna display it and it's probably gonna collect dust like me the ML does the job 😂

Marvel legends wins in playability to me sadly because mafex has paint chipping issues revealing white underneath the black painted body

The marvel legends is based off spider man tas in a spider man tas the white patch on his hands are a square

Mafex are totally not worth 120 usd... The real price for Mafex figures are around 50-60 usd + shipping

How does one buy THIS Mafex Spiderman BEFORE buying the red & blue comic Spiderman??? You must really like black suit Spiderman

I got both and while the Mafex is super articulate limbs pop off too easy and he’s fragile Legends has been better to me imo

I have to be honest, I do not agree at all with the proportioning veredict 😅 I can imagine a human beign with small hands and feet but NOT with the weird ass shoulders the ML comes with

Honestly, I'm probably one of the only people who don't like toe joints. I think figures are best without them.

Okay I already knew the Mafex was going to win. When you compare a Mafex and a Marvel Legends, 9 times out of 10 the Mafex will take the win.

i usually don't collect marvel legends but i made an exception for this spidey. i like the bulkier look and since it's pretty much all black they didn't mess the paint up like they do with other figures. probably the only ML i'll ever own

Aesthetic I'll go for the marvel legends, but intemrs of posability I'll go with Mafex

Man your voice 💀

please stop with the rigamorole!

"Is it worth it?" Uhhhh yeah man. MAFEX > Marvel Legends. Shits on that gummy ass plastic erryyyday all day.

i haaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAte thigh cuts

Both of these figures look like s***
