I only had this figure for a week. It came with a paint chip under the shoulder joint and eventually grew bigger the more I pose him around. It's actually so disheartening because this was my first mafex figure and ive been very careful with him but man it just sucks.

These colors turn an already great figure into the best comic spider-man figure imo. The headsculpts while reused are still great and with Romita esque heads he is the best classic spidey for me. The sentinel does rival it but in terms of pure comic spider-men this is the best imo. (Plus with the bagley heads he is a pure mvc spidey based on the in-game sprites imo)

I think the reason for paint rub on this one aside from maybe not putting a clear coat is probably because of the matte paint, I heard from customizer that matte paint is less durable compared to glossy/metallic paints.

Yeah the paint chipping is something that urks my soul to happen on my copy of the figure on the under arm

same issue happened to me on the upper torso while taking it off its stand and it literally shattered my soul. contemplating on getting another copy but its so much money to spend just for a 50/50 chance u get a really good copy with no issues.

The figure is amazing, its just that I've always found his head to look really big, kinda baloonish imo. And i do prefer the smaller eyes as opposed to the huge ones, but just like how u did when u swapped it with the NWH Integrated suit head, it'll look perfect imo

Nice review! I think the paint qc issue varies. I bought two of these from BBTS and after posing them around for a bit, the paint remains intact. How long have you had him until the paint started scratching?

My reissue of the 075 had paint rubbing/chipping off in the inner thighs and my original 075 had the same problem but in the armpit area so I’m not really to surprised with paint rubbing/chipping off on this one except for that lower back/upper butt area which i thought was weird but it’s mafex 😂

I think it's really cool, I ordered the 075 version wich you also showed in this video. I probably will buy the 185 version a.k.a the classic costume version aswell in the future idk when but I'm planning to. The only real personal downside for me is that I think the paint job should be better like perhaps better paint that stays longer or better and doesn't smudges sometimes... But overall I think it's one of the most perfect spider-man action figures def top 3 and I'd still buy these. I watched a TON of reviews with most of em praising it very much so yeah thx for the insight man. Though I think the problems aren't universal and depends on your luck and how they did yours, some have the same problems and some not at all but I hope mine doesn't, that's what would turn me off the most and I'll probably won't move mine to much.

I know this is a video for the 185 version but i have a paint rub issue on my original mafex 75 spiderman on the blue area on one of the arms. What paint would you recommend?

My first Mafex that I bought only a month ago (Carnage re-issue) came with a massive bit of paint missing in one of the eyes, plus the black paint rubs of on the face too. I can also see that the black line work on your new spidey has rubed off also on the chest. Not a happy first time customer here.

Great review. The problem with the paint makes me think about canceling my pre order. Has this gotten worse since you posted the review?

mine is on the way in the mail.. would you recommend putting sealant on it out of the box just to play it safe? & what sealant should i get? thanks!

The black wash on the lines inside the red seems to be bleeding, I saw some of the original ones looking really messy and getting worse over time. Do you find this to be an issue?

That figure has way too many qc issues for the price. For me, Mafex put out an L with this one. Mine broke in 2 spots almost right away. I

my left wrist joint was way too stiff does anybody know how to fix that? also the left foot and lower torso and left shoulder jonts are too stiff aswell.

Is that mafex integrated suit head sculpt you used for the swap?

Spoon Dude, I had a question, currently looking into this figure, and when I heard you talking about the quality, I wondered where you got the figure, since the joints and whatnot are all good, I wanted to get it from a good website, there’s one on Amazon, bbts, and others.

I think I'll still go with metallic colours cause I'm a sucker for metallic.

Will you doing any new custom figures? Looking forward to see new ones thanks

Idk man I think it's just certain ones because I pose mine in at least 20 different extreme poses for ACBA and I haven't gotten any paint rub what's so ever

What type of blue paint would be best if you have to touch it up?

Anybody have recommendations on a good blue to fix rub/chipping on this figure? I can’t seem to find one that will work

Are the hands on the 075 are custom made?

I think them gonna repaint this figure and give another head sculpt I want animated 1994 style And hey your videos are great

Cool.

Not sure why it didn’t come with the unmasked head?

Maybe Like Squinting Headsculpt

You should check out the snapshot spiderman if ur looking for a romita spider-man :)

So in short dont buy it?

The hands on the original... What are those? Custom?

This Spidey is the same body mold of the Ben Reilly different plastic then 075 spiderman

If only i could afford one 😭

I got a KO for free of the version w the head , the Peter head was painted ugly and I redid the panel lines and removed darkened overspray. It was free 🤷‍♀️ , but I do have real Mafex

Where did you buy it

I feel like this is one of the best spiderman figures, but i don't like at all those headsculpts

The shoulders being “reversed” is on purpose by Mafex, otherwise they wouldn’t have “reversed” them for the Reissue, Web-Man, Symbiote and this release consistently.

100 bucks

I completely agree with you on the headsculpt. I was wishing for a more "classic" look like romita's art
