Great review. SHF hasn't implemented bicep or elbow swivel on a lot of their Marvel figs including Cap., WS, Falcon. It's like a trend or something. Yet the IM, WM figs and others have this articulation. Oh well.

I feel like Figuarts Cap would be ideal if you just want a Cap figure that you can have fun playing with. On the other hand, Mafex is what you would get if you want a closer resemblance to Chris Evans.
@disturbed6802 жыл бұрын
That’s kind of hard to argue when the SHF Cap doesn’t even have elbow or bicep swivel. It’s not fun playing with something you can’t pose how you like.
@thegoose70072 жыл бұрын
@@disturbed680 sure, there's no bicep swivel, but then again that can be remedied with the should joints on the figuarts, which you can use as a pseudo bicep swivel if that make sense. Let's not pretend that bicep swivel is the end all be all with articulation, since the Figuarts and Mafex essentially have pretty similar movement aside from Figuarts with the bicep and Mafex with the ankle not being able to move without mods. The fun factor for me was pretty much with the durability of the figure anyways, since you can't really say that this Mafex release is sturdier or more durable than the Figuarts.

The SHF is way too skinny, with an inaccurate face, and the battle damage just looks like sand. The proportions and face are way better on the Mafex and I have luckily had zero qc issues with mine. Both of them have engineering problems when it comes to attaching the shield to the arms or the back. Same as the problem both companies had with attaching the rifle to the back of their Mandalorian figures. Magnets in both the shield and back would be so much more easier.

The damaged shield especially is a work of art. It really looks like the paint has been scratched off and the part where it is snapped off has very detailed texture.

VERY GOOD VIDEO LIKE ALL YOU DO, THANK YOU. Shf plus note studio head is a very perfect figure, very good articulations, good image, good color, even the size is good. Mafex has good articulations, good color, more striking image, but I would not say that the mafex is better by one reason alone, you can't pay for a figure the price that mafex has and that the pieces, the arms, the head come loose.... You pay for a good figure not for something that is destroyed in the hands. I have the shf with note studio head and I'm waiting for the mafex and honestly I regret what I see in various tutorials. I will not buy mafex again, it is not a serious brand, you wait a year for a very expensive and finished figure and for a price that is not worth it.

I ordered 2 Mafex Captain America EG from Amiami. The 1st figures doesn’t have any issue at all. The secord piece has slightly loose left arm swivel but not that much. I am displaying/posing him once in the center of my collection and never touch him again. So I am completely happy with the Mafex Cap. If you want him to display and just be looking good in your collection, get the mafex. If you want to play with him more often and posing him differently most of the time, get the SHF. But I tell you, Mafex Cap looks really really good. The only downside is the quality but if you are lucky and get a piece without any issue. Oh Man! Like my comment if you have one without issue. 👍🏼

To call the Mafex "poor quality" is an exaggeration. I have had mine a week and no issues. The arm thing is annoying for the people that have had it and I had the same problem with my IW Thor, but it can be easily popped back in without further problems. You have to force back in until it pops which most people don't realize that.
