- When Mafex gave us their attempt at the classic Tiger Stripe Jim Lee Cartoon Wolverine, they dropped the ball almost as if they were trying to. Can this second version rectify the situation with a much stronger release?The best place to buy collectibles

Unless mafex restocks the brown wolverine (which they probably won't), you are gonna have to pay the aftermarket price of $180 - 250 for it. So unfortunately it isn't a $100 figure anymore.
Yeah but that's unfortunately down to scalpers and isn't Mafex's fault. But it is a shame these things happen. It just comes down to how serious you are about these and willing to pre-order them.
Yeah, and it seems like that happened real quick. I swear, the minute it sells out on BBTS, the third-party price goes into the stratosphere. I mean seriously, who is paying $250.00 + for this figure?
There's still hope for future releases: Marvel Legends has a great looking Wolverine coming out this year and the MAFEX No.171 Wolverine (X-Force Ver.) is currently available for pre-order. I'm getting both of these because I don't have a "definitive" Wolverine for my collection yet 😎👍
Just keep in mind, Mafex new figures get leaked a few hours before Mafex officially announces them on the 23rd of every month, and AmiAmi, HLJ, NinNin, Plaza Japan, etc, have pre-orders up a few hours later. Remember that and you shouldn't miss out. At least that's one reliable date Mafex are able to stick to.
They’ll reissue this figure.
pretty good release. i wish we had an angry/ yelling head with the mask on though. which brings me to your custom head sculpts for marvel legends. those look fantastic.
Like wall crawling hands for spider-man. Alternate yelling mask heads should be required on all wolverines
@@bulbafett5787 indeed
X Force Wolverine definitely my favorite design. Black suit + red eyes is always a plus in my book
MAFEX No.171 Wolverine (X-Force Ver.) is currently available for pre-order 😁👍
I 100% agree with your critics and I'm good with the Hasbro versions.
Thanks for the review Anthony.
The torso articulates much further than that. It’s just tight. Silicon poor will make it move a lot further and smoother.
That might be the case but I always review figures as they come in the package. Especially at this price point, people shouldn't have to figure out what oil to use and how to risk breaking the figure to apply the oil.
@@AnthonysCustoms it’s just tight and ppl are afraid to push the figure further. It will work without applying oil. That’s just a hack if you have the know how and experience. But it will move further without modifying it, just push it it will be fine. No need to fear breaking it.
@@scragbyterc1059 you definitely don’t wanna force a joint, there’s always a risk of breaking it that way. Just heat it up or apply silicone shock oil.
@Fora do Pacote if you’re buying figures at this price point carful goes without saying.
The claws look great. Love the silver paint.
Thank you for the Hasbro comparisons. MAFEX prices are so high when they have heavy competition in this space. I can better accept a higher price for figures we might not see otherwise (6" DC, the Terminator they're doing now, etc.).
Im on deployment right now and watching your videos make me feel at home😭, Awesome review btw bro! 💪
Thanks. And assuming you're deployed for the USA, thanks for your service.
@@AnthonysCustoms I am bro, Thank you for your support! 💪
This is my favorite Wolverine figure, Definitely worth the money n I would recommend it to any Wolverine fan. I’m excited for the X-Force version next, the only think I would change is unmasked head should look a bit more like he looks in the comics, wilder looking hair n mutton chops
immensely stoked to finally get that cigar chompin' logan head sculpt
Mafex is what I wish marvel legends could be.
But do you want the price tag too?
@brianng8350 There's nothing Mafex does that Hasbro couldn't do when it comes to the articulation.
@@chewymew articulation. Cool... I'm talking more of the sculpt. And price... Is a factor.. But dosnt matter to much because. If I want it.. I'm gonna get it regardless of price.
@@chewymewI agree. Hasbro can do anything at a fraction of the price too. But sadly, they are pretty lazy and reuse a lot of stuff. The claws, this is so much better.
@@wickeddddddddNeca makes pretty good sculpts too but when Hasbro actually tries on figures like that movie Venom, 80th Anniversary Hulk, and Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man, they absolutely nail it. Is all you're wishing Marvel Legends was from Mafex better sculpt? Your reply to the other put emphasis on that
I really like Wolverine's orange and black costume from X-Men Evolution.
I like that suit too but that orange makes it too Halloweenish for me. Maybe tan wouldn't been better.
brown suit wolverine is my favorite.
i had a brown suit wolverine action figure when i was a kid i loved it so brown suit will always be my favorite.
My favorite wolverine look is the jim lee one. I actually love the first one mafex made…mines didnt really have the arm problem lol. I missed out on this out damn I should of just preordered it when it first got listed up
Mine doesn't seem to have those issues either, and my favorite, or at least one of my favorite looks is the X-Force suit, so I'm hyped for that one coming out near the end of this year.
The tiger stripe mafex is my only import figure. It has all the issues and I love it anyway. Best head sculpt a Jim Lee fan could ask for. Wish it came with these claws too. Why can't they get the colours right?
That's a good question. I'm glad you enjoy the figure.
Best wolverine fig ever 🔥
So sad I missed out this😢
I am still very tempted to pick this one up. Great review! Can’t wait for the Logan Head Sales!
Love your custom Wolverine heads Anthony! The detail is amazing and they look awesome 👏
Anthony...it's been discovered by several people in the Mafex Facebook group the reason for the stiffness in the midsection is that Mafex PAINTED the ball hinge inside the torso. So some figures "stick" in that area. Some have even broken in half the first time someone tried to bend them, right out of the box. The "fix" is to take him apart and sand the paint off the ball hinge and that gives him much better movement
Looks like this has the same bow-legged knees as the original tiger-stripe one.
I'm currently waiting on the Mezco Wolverine when it finally comes out.
I like the brown suit
Best Wolverine? The John Byrne / Paul Smith-era Uncanny X-Men Brown costume. Straight classic look that made the character the icon he is. Ps. Artists Herb Trimpe & Dave Cockrum created and refined the yellow costume. It's a great look as well.
There’s a lot to like about this guy, but you make good arguments for sticking with Hasbro in this case given the price jump.
As for favorite Wolverine? In the comics it’s the Brown Suit from the 80’s, but for figures, I really like the House of X version. Favorite colors with more grounded features
What claws did u use for the tiger stripe Wolverine?
They were a gift. Don't know where they are from.
The Mezco Wolverine is enough for me they're far from perfect but they're still damn awesome and no QC issues is always a big plus
The articulation and range is more limtled but doesn't come apart or break when trying to get less than extreme poses. Also has better paint on none fabric parts. Only get Mafex for movie figures if reviews are positive.
Blue and yellow wolverine is my fav
My favorite Wolverine costume is the orange and brown 80s costume.
I did preordered this guy at BBTS, but unfortunately at that time I got temporarily finance issue. After I solved my issue, I was about to order this figure and sadly it sold out at BBTS. I hope they can restock it, this figure must have. Great review as always mate.
90s animated Wolverine is my favorite. Really Hope Hasbros is good.
Mafex figures look good but I can’t get around the price point. At the same time i want to get the sentinel fighting suit version of Iron Man or Wolverine and they’re only about 10 to 20 dollars cheaper
I think I like this more than the yellow and blue version
I got into X-Men through the “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends” cartoon, which ran concurrently with the brown suit Wolvie in the comics.
To this day…I hate that suit lol
My favorite is the Jim Lee style from the 90s cartoon.
The, at the time, modern take on his original Tiger stripe outfit from his debut.
I just always found the brown and mustardy yellow uninteresting visually and just kind of a raunchy color combo
Do you know anywhere else you can find the brown suit wolverine
Weapon X is definitely my favorite. Orange and tan is a close second tho.
Love love this Wolverine as we continue to wait for ours here to arrive in Canada 🇨🇦 lol
Where did you get the claws on the Marvel Legends tiger stripe wolvie? They look like they're metal but they don't look as thick as the ones i see online
A customer sent them to me as a gift.
@@AnthonysCustoms I see. Very cool!
Did you get the spiderman ffh mafex?
Yeah, price plays a huge role in if you want this particular figure or just a 6-inch Wolverine figure.
6:58 not sure if it’s the camera angle or not, but it looks like his left ear (the one on the right of the screen) is bent farther out than the right ear. The edge isn’t a steep at the left ear. I remember seeing that on someone else’s copy on Instagram.
It's a soft material. I assume it's just from the packaging.
@@AnthonysCustoms I guess that’s something you could probably fix with water or heat
The thing we both got in common is the passion for marvel legends
You think you might get the CT toys version and compare?
Not likely
@@AnthonysCustoms I hope so!😅
@@AnthonysCustoms I wish u would. I think you're the only one that has that original mafex that would compare and be honest
I sold it. I'll get it again whenever they reissue it.
@AnthonysCustoms daaaaamn. Aight then.
I just got the CT tonight and lemme tell ya, it's worth getting. For only $30
Maybe they go lemon yellow for the shadings, because I they go for the orangeyellow, the have to do shadings with more ocre color close to redish brown , just a theory a toy theory
I want a Mafex Daredevil
X-Force Wolverine
Do you know by any chance, if BigBadToyStore ships to Germany?
(Or international in general)
They do
@@AnthonysCustoms Oh lord, thank you
Nice review Anthony
The paint gaps is a deal breaker.
Cane claws are so 🔥
is it worth the money?
you should watch the review
I wonder if the reason they got so stingy with the accessories is because the last wolverine they did didn't do so well. I remember their first wolverine going for retail for a pretty long time(not sure if that's still the case). Maybe they didn't want to spend the money on a risky figure. But then again they've already announced a third wolverine so maybe they're just penny pinching for the sake of it.
It's about Drive it's about power we stay hungry we devour put in the work put in the hours and let's take what's ours
You should say in every video if it's a keep or sell for your personal collection. We all mostly come here for your subjective opinion anyways. Maybe to videos dedicated to what you got rid of or replaced? All just ideas. Love your videos. Thanks!
Tiger stripe all the way
in my country a lot scalpres so that makes the price of mafex so expensive, And there is also one person who sells it abroad. I mean why did he sell it abroad when in Indonesia there are many who need it. Now there are a lot of people who take advantage of hobbies for their own benefit. A sad story in my country Indonesia about the action figure Mafex
I can't believe you think the Hasbro figure is a better sculpt than the mafex. It's like comparing a bologna sandwich to a New York steak. Though I do agree about the color.
The mafex one has almost no detail at all.
You can never have too many Wolverines. CT toys is reported to get ready for some bootlegs of this figure.
When you gonna review the mafex gambit
It sold out before i could get it
@@AnthonysCustoms it an amazing figure have the look from xmen vs street fighter it's my favorite gambit. I hope zeus is fine I love chunky cats
this version, mustard yellow and brown 1980's Logon.
Mafex has Hasbro beat hands down.
Good video and I’m big fan
I want this figure so bad 😢
Mafex Gambit review next maybe?
It sold out before i could get one
@@AnthonysCustoms That sucks. I’m always interested in hearing your thoughts on figures.Gambit like most Mafex figures after market price is over $200 now. CRAZY
When I got mine out of the package the first thing I thought was "is that it?" The accessories leave a LOT to be desired. The figure looks good and all but I wish we'd get a yelling masked head or more hand options. For the price it's kind of underwhelming.
A masked shouting head, bone claws and a Muramasa blade wouldn't have been too much to ask for considering how much accessories Mafex give some other figures such as their Gambit. I like mine but it is an easy cash grab figure if truth be told. But every company does that.
I keep seeing two batmen faces facing each other when I look at the face sculpt….!
Great review and I love your honesty.
Where are you getting these $100 price tags on these import figures? Everywhere I look, I see over $200. Even in the groups.
Msrp. Second hand isn't useful for reviews.
If you buy direct from Japan when they go up for pre order they are $70 plus shipping, if you want to wait until its released in the USA your paying well over $100
Don’t drop down hips let you bring the legs further backwards
Cool looking Wolvie, but like many Mafex figures, WAY overpriced! 🤷🏻♂️
Zup Anthony, nice fig😎👍🏼
Why did the tiger stripes on the last wolverine blue instead of black? Mafex always makes a few mistakes on these figs that makes me pass on them.
Youre not really objective when you compare the prices of the two wolverines. Sure hasbro costs 20$-25$, but thats only the case in america and does not apply for the rest of the world. For example, I'm from europe, so for me the Mafex Wolverine costs approx. double the price of the ML one.
What you have to pay over msrp has nothing to do with my objectivity.
@@AnthonysCustoms “your” objectivity? That’s quite a paradox there brother. I’m just saying not everyone gets ML as cheap as Americans do, which you should take into account if you place such emphasis on being objective. Like people from Japan don’t even have to pay double for the Mafex figure. If your comparison of prices only covers what Americans pay for respective action figures, that is still >subjective< (for Americans).
@@cowboygambit3170 At the end of the day it's his and his opinions. Does the YT creator really have to think from the pov of someone in Latin America, Europe, or any other place that's not where they actually live?
You should be taking pricing into account for yourself. If you get a better deal on figures, then maybe any negatives this reviewer has is less of an issue for you. On the flipside if figures are even more expensive then still you take that into account for yourself.
For a luxury item, everyone has a bias.
@@DesignIncase ofc, you’re absolutely right. But my point is: it’s not objective when it’s an opinion.
And yes, you tubers should think from the POV of other people besides Americans, if they value objectivity so much. If they don’t, it’s a subjective POV, not an objective statement, that’s all
are u gettin back to collecting mafex?
I don't collect by brand. If they make good figures of characters i like, I'll but them.
Although those custom Wolvie heads look sick af. Something just seems off about his face. Like he looks middle eastern or something. Great review tho.
Good review....Problem with the Brown Costume Marvel Legends Wolverine is it is priced (after market) very close to the price of the MAFEX wolverine...Can it be justified that the Marvel legends brown costume wolverine be worth almost like the MAFEX? I really wonder
The ml brown suit figure isn't good though. The arms and shoulders suck. The later versions are much better.
@@AnthonysCustoms thanks man, appreciate the advice 🙏
Me, I like Jim Lee Style Wolverine. BRO those Logan heads you've made, Anthony, look DOPE. Where do we get them?
Thanks. Very soon. Stay tuned.
Hey Anthony! Will u review McFarlane's newest Nightwing? The gotham knights one.
Yes
Best figure of 2022 so far
Wow, giving props for marvel legends instead of degrading them? That's amazing! And yeah for price point, I'm keeping my hasbro, even though they reused wolvie body like 1363299364647x.
I review the figure in front of me no matter the company. Being a fan of a company stops at the products they put out.
Except one head it’s not a repaint it’s an entirely new sculpt
I own a lot of the old Medicom Medal Gear figures, and man they are bad. Poor sculpt, warped joints and some of the sloppiest paint Ive seen on a figure. Years ago I spent way to much on the Medicom Old Snake 1/6 figure too, thinking it would be similar to a Hot Toys figure......Nope. I dont have any super posable Mafex figures from them, but after watching this review along with the original figure, I dont ever plan on it.
Trust me anything medicom that isn't mafex is basically shit and also everything old from them. Their new stuff is pretty good but yes qc issues but nothing that can't be fixed or replaced. Anthony is just notoriously harsh lol
My favorite also has always been the tiger stripes Wolverine. It just is his most iconic look
I don't get the price point on this thing.
I was the 900th like
My name is Logan
👏
@@CrazyIrishmen7 incredible right
for the price point, this figure is pretty uninteresting
It's funny that you always sound a little confused when you make positive statements about Hasbro.
The deal-breaker for me is the lack of a masked angry/yelling face/head. I genuinely don't understand why they wouldn't give him one.
Looks like hasbro paid you a lot of money!
Why?
Not worth 100$ not even close imo.
Favorite logan look is ever changing -tiger stripe, weapon x, spy wolverine which you dont see much of. Im still hoping we get a logan figure with his brown coat, yellow flannel, and jeans look.
The Legends Wolverine arms look bizarre. Overly muscled, if anything, and the sculpted hair looks gross.
claws should be straight and are just too lung, longer than the forearm, hasbro did a much better job for less than half price
