I keep hearing mixed things about the Bandai Vader as well. Cape isn't that good, tabard's too long, flimsy shoulder pads, slim limbs. I don't own either but it's becoming really hard to make up my mind on which to buy.
Finally opened my copy today and also opened another SHF Kenobi Vader. My MAFEX copy is extremely loose, hard to pose, cape sucks and the neck peg doesn’t fit correctly. Honestly surprised at how bad it is. Opening the SHF Vader kept me sane lmao
@@ActionDisplayChannel Gave it a second chance and after futzing with it I definitely like it a lot more. Still wish it had tighter joints but the sculpt saves it for me. Big fan of the Rogue One Vader design.
One of the wrist pegs on this vader broke the very first time I went to swap hands. I have dozens of Mafexes and have never had this happen until this figure. Hoping plaza japan will send me a new peg or two.
@@ActionDisplayChannel Mafex is always known for having some of the worst QC on the market but I’m so surprised that they had done batman pretty solid 😁
@@WhiteFieldl11l I do have few of their marvel and dc figures and never had a loose joint on any of them. This is the first one. I know about their qc issues. They were a lot worse few years back but recently they are really good. It's a shame that this happened to their Vader.
@@ActionDisplayChannel I totally understand, and I was talking about some really old days when I collected their line. But technically this Vader is not a new figure imo Because they actually just reproduced those mafex No.45 and then added a swing effect that’s all. It is loose probably due to their older molding and lack of QC on a rerelease figure.
@@cesarmedina7080 The cloak isn't ingraved in his torso like the 1st. The legs pegs stick and when you try to adjust it rubber bands itself back to a weird posture. The only thing I like about the new version is the head cause theyes are updated. So I tried putting the new on the old but they changed the neck pegs. I have the old one on the shelf and new in it's box. Biggest regret I bought last year as a figure. Mine could just be a QC issue. But with the money they ask shouldn't have major issues like that
Mafex Vader looks nice, however having the new SH Figuarts Vader from Kenobi is more than enough, is the best Vader so far.
I 💯 agree

It's ok but I want the SHF Vader
Merry Christmas brother!!! Congrats on a great year. Looking forward to more content from you.🎄😃🙏
Thank you my friend. Merry Christmas to you too. 🥳
I much prefer the shf kenobi vader
Me too but this guy also looks good.
HEY~ DARTH VADER SHF VS MAFEX REVIEW PLZ😄😄😄

Also since it was so loose it made my SHF Boba fall and break its rangefinder so it was definitely a fun experience 😂
@@JesusIsGodAlmighty-dyad2285 Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can fix it.

Me too. The qc seems like mafex from 2015
Are you gonna compare this and the figuarts black series vaders?
I only have ANH Vader as far as the black series goes but I can do that, yes.
@@ActionDisplayChannel you heard of the Obi wan vader?
@@youtubedeletesmychannels2329 Heard what? Are you asking me do I know about him? Which one? Black Series?
@@ActionDisplayChannel the vader with the anakin face from black series. They also have figuarts one
@@youtubedeletesmychannels2329 SHF version is on the channel, review and a posing video. I skipped TBS one because I prefer SHF version.
Any qc issue on your figure?
Yes. His left leg falls of the hip joint. It's a shame because if that was not the case this would be an amazing figure.
I also have a wobbly left leg on my Mafex rotj boba fett
That's too bad.
I have 1.0, but what's the difference on 1.5? Does any1 know?
Other than saber swinging effect I really don't know.
The robes are wrong. They go over the armor.
Mine is also extremely loose but it’s the other leg😂😂😂
Oh man, so it's not just mine. It's a shame that this figure has that issue.

@@WhiteFieldl11l Yeah, that's what I was just thinking as well. I hope there won't be these loos joints on their upcoming SW figures.
Jeeeesh!! Finally you show the figure!😂😂
Don't Fook around next time!!
Are you serious?
I hate this figure. The 1st version is better
How is 1st version better?

@@CommadoBroI sold my old versiyon for buy new version and Hoped for no qc issıe. But it seems They didn’t fix issues from previous version 😢
@@DARTHVADER-wy1ny It's the biggest disappointment figure of the year for me
Mafex Vader looks weird.
