One thing I really love about MAFEX is how they like to reissue figures such as this one so long as there is a demand.
Hasbro and Mattel could take notes.
If it weren't for this reissue, I would've never had a chance to own this figure, which is, IMO, the definitive 1/12th scale Superman.
So sad I missed out on it.
@@ping141 You can still pick one up on eBay, it's not going to be retail but it'll only go up in price in the coming months.
@@jonathanchin3396 How much more on Ebay compared to retail price? I didnt even know they reissued it
@@jeffross9982 It was reissued a few weeks ago and could be ordered for a few days but quickly sold out. Some are available on eBay right now for $120 to $130 - which is only about $20 to $30 more than the reissue price with shipping - but will probably reach the same ridiculous prices before the reissue. I don't know if it'll be reissued a second time so you can pay a little more now or a lot more later.
While this fig is definitely in the top 3 best Supes... honestly the new Mezco one looks like it's going to take the cake for me. Just gotta wait until that comes out.
That is an interesting detail on the shorter torso on the re-issued figure. It reminds me of how short the torso was on the Mafex X-Men Cyclops. I am glad they fixed the "S" Symbol on the back of the cape.
I wish more reviewers uploaded stuff like this. Really appreciate you taking the time to find the differences.
I had no idea Medicom fixed the "S" in the reissue, I would have ordered one just because of that, lol.
The re issue is shorter tho
@@rayden9713 True, tha'ts definitely a problem. Oh, well, I just have to ignore the S on my figure and all good, lol.
@@nhyar Pros & cons, mine never leaves his box except for special occasions so im good too lol
Third rerelease coming! But I'm very eager to see what the differences are between these first two
Hopefully any issues have been fixed! I just placed an order today!
When the Mafex Black Regeneration suit Superman comes out you should try and put the head on the Hush Superman to make a 90's Superman.
I think everyone has had that idea. We're just patiently waiting for it to finally come out lol
I miss out on the reissue! I wish I hadn't. I really wanted to collect this Superman. To me he's the definitive 6 scale Superman!
Some are available on eBay right now for only a slight markup compared to retail, $120 to $130.
I'm betting that there will be a Return of Superman fig coming out in the future seeing how they are making figs of that line right now. Probably a Doomsday too. So I'll pick that one up as my definitive Superman.
This is a really good figure despite some minor quality issues. I think, this and the hush batman are probably the best of superman and bats.
I just got the re issued hush batman in the blue suit ! I can’t believe they re issued that one too! I was sooo bummed that I had missed out on it the first time around. But now I have my go to batman figure! I also got the re issued Superman. Thank you medicom!
I'm sticking with my first release, but I'm really glad people are getting a second chance to get this figure.
Really hope Mafex / medicom takes notice of the demand for Superman figures and gives us more. Would LOVE an all-star Superman or classic death of superman.
theres the upcoming cyborg supes one
Now that I see that Mafex is refining their figures on reissues, I'm hoping that blue hush batman gets its cape fixed so it doesn't look bulky in the front. Thanks for the comparison vid.
I wish it came with an extra-long hair head version, that would have been a great bonus to add to the newer release.
I remember the first video and I was bother by the “s” on the cape but you showed proof that it appears like that in a comic strip. So it grew on me. Now I rather put my money on Cyborg Superman than a re-issue.
I was thinking that exact thing, that it was more like Jim Lee drew him in the story.
I think this is the best Superman figure 6-inch. I never got the original not going for 130. I like the reissue better, I'm looking forward to getting it.
Thanks for the comparison. I have the 1st release and I'm lucky to have a good paint job on mine. I did notice the 2nd releases had more blue highlights on the hair. Also I never noticed the missing lines on the s on the back of the cape. I'm perfectly fine with mine.
I didn't know they were gonna fix those issues, I'm so glad I was able to get the re-issue at a reasonable price.
We need more Jim Lee Mafex figures
I wish they reissued the old Deadpool figure as I wasn’t really doing the comic book figures from Mafex at the time.
The just did a third reissue. I just bought mine at Big Bad Toy Store early today. It sold out this evening.
The reissue is nice, but to track one down & pay for the subtle differences after purchasing the first.... no! Great video!
I just got mine. I LOVE IT. Great video Brad, these videos got me into MAFEX.
disappointed with the shorter torso version. I missed the original version, but I don't like this re-release
Wow.. good stuff! I never would have guessed there would be running changes so soon. Thanks for the information.
Love this figure, but I really wish it came with a smiling head. Tired of all my Superman figures looking depressed
Surprised you didn’t mention that the alternate hands in the reissue come with those clear pegs inserted in the holes to keep right and left hands together while the original keeps all the hands separate. It’s an easy way to distinguish between the 2 versions when the boxes are sealed.
I think he's focusing on the figure itself
thanks for this review, is great, i needed cause ill buy the reedition, thanks a lot bro!
I wish I got the reissue. I have the original and hate the proportions of it as well as the cape. The original's head looks so small because of the slightly oblong body type. Reissue looks so much better. Dang it!!
Can you compare the hush blue Batman reissue?
1:40 I didn't even know MAFEX was soliciting pre-orders for a re-issue.
Join a Facebook group called "Medicom MAFEX Figure Collectors" there's always news updates
My hip on my mafex hush superman snapped after a year or so. Don't be afraid to reheat your joints if you plan on articulating.
I'm so lucky I got the reissue, I missed the first one and it's nice to know the reissue has some improvements over it
Missed the opportunity for an up, up, and away joke at the start there. 😁
This Mafex Hush line is my favorite line of figures I think ever... It's the only line that has ever made me want to collect the entire thing, even if I didn't have a connection or love for every character. I have wanted great figures of Jim Lee's designs for years, and so far each figure I've gotten from the line is the new definitive version for my shelf.
Thnx Brad.. you're the 1st to review the reissue..i thought no one would..thnx so much dude..
Btw, the black & grey version of Batman Hush got reissued too..will you make your comparison video too..? 😁
Can you make a og vs reissue comparison video of mafex hush batman too??
The side chops makes you look like Harley Race and Trevor Murdoch.
Be nice if Mafex does a classic Superman based on the late and great George Perez art! I'd take that over the JL version. I'd love and entire Perez based Justice league team from the satellite era!
I missed both orders i didn’t even know there was a reissue
Fantastic video, you convinced me to keep both Brad! Hope you do one on the reissued Hush Batman too
I like the way this figure looks but I'll just wait till I get my mezco One:12 superman later this year.
I can't wait for the dkr superman
Can’t wait to get mine! Thanks for the detailed comparison
im not a big superman fan but i was lookin @ da hush batman n i seen this part of the series n i dont have no supermans i always wanted 1 doe but didnt know which too get im very picky but this 1 n play arts kai r 2 im interested in
…and they did release a second reissue haha
5:50 That's a stark difference right there, I'm sure people will argue which skin tone is closer to the original coloring.
I missed out on both. Just dropped $185 for one today😅
Im glad i got the original one..
Dagnabit! I missed out again!!!!
Try this simple head swap with your Mafex Hush Superman: pop off the head and neck and pop on the 2016 Mezco Superman head and neck. If you put the legs in drop down position it now scales well with Marvel Legends. 👍
Great comparison video. I was able to snag this re-release. I have a re- issue of the black/grey Batman coming, as I missed out on him too. The only one I got the first round was the grey/blue Batman. Ijust saw that they are re-issuing him as well. I wonder what changes we’ll see? I’d like for his grey to be lighter, like the black/grey one. That was my only knock on the grey/blue.
Anyway, nice job!
Wow I wish I had paid attention to this, I was on the fence for the original one and didnt get it since it was just a little off, this may have pushed me over the edge. Oh well the mezco will suffice for my premium superman
we got the reissue boys, order quickly
Thanks for this awesome comparison. I’m looking for one on the 2nd market, any idea how to differentiate them from the box ? usually compressed jpg aren’t easy to examine… :/ any serial number to look for ? Barcode ? How to spot knock-off as well ?
Cheers !
6:53 Even John Byrne hates that, though partly because of his colour impairment. Which is why he was able to give Lois brunette hair but had to retain Superman's blue highlights.
Thanks for this. Looking forward to the comparison.
I just paid 190 for the re released one it hurt but i had to have it.
Can't decide if you are turning into Captain Boomerang or Manchester Black.
What about the right inner part of the torso where the diaphragm cut is? The original had a piece of plastic that would chip the paint on the upper right ab
There's one left on amazon Japan for $120 shipped, mine arrived today which was nice. Speaking of re issuing saught after figures I'm surprised they haven't re issued 075 spiderman....the most popular mafex figure
Well, that figure had the "comic paint version" and they reissued the original figure on the same year months later, may be because of that.
I wish they made a version 2.0 instead because the original had a hard plastic crotch instead of a soft plastic one, they fixed that with Ben Reilly so I really wish they made an upgraded version.
A comic style John Romita Spider-Man will be 👌 magnificent.
Funny how at Hobbysearch Mafex Batman Blue & Black are still in stock but Hush Supes disappears faster than a speeding bullet every time. I gave up and just pre ordered Amazing Yamaguchi Supes.
Thanks for making the secondary go up lol I have the original and payed a ridiculous price for it and missed the re release and hoped the secondary would go down.. but guess not cuz it's "better"
Lol
I’m so mad I missed out on the re release.
I need a reissue of Iron Spidy with good looking waldos and good QC
Looks like you didnt raise the torso a bit on the reissue. Thats why it looks shorter.
I missed both... Is a second reissue possible?
Man if they reissue the original colored 075 comic Spider-Man
How can you tell if it's re issue, cause i have the original but I'm getting the reissue from week ago
Thanks for the comparison, however, I'm a little confused. I live in Japan and have the first original release. While I do have the glue issue under the chest, the paint on mine isn't glossy like yours (it's matte like your reissue). Also, my logo on the Cape has the small triangles that are missing on yours🤔
That’s crazy I also live in Japan rn lol, and I got lucky he was going for $80-$90 on Amazon
@@J0J0Zx Yeah, the re-issue is available now for that price on Amazon and at AmiAmi. I wanted the Armored Batman this month, but forgot to preorder.
They need to reissue again
Yeah, the yellow needs to be more saturated, this current yellow is too light. I have the first release, and I wish I sold the first release to get the reissue. Reissue has better looking proportions, and maybe better cape.
My re-issue that I only have had for a week. the wires in the cape tore through. N ot sure what to do.
So when's it come out?
Where did you get that Batman poster from over your right shoulder? Good review of "Supermen"
Oof, I'd love to buy this but i feel that this Supes's body is a bit too small
The re-issue would actually be in scale with SH Figuarts superhero figures.
@@BrandonNielsen87 that is true, but Mafex figures skew slightly larger; and since Supes is normally a bit taller than Batman and the new adjustment would make him slightly shorter, he would no longer be in a good scale.
@@BrandonNielsen87 i also forgot to add that SH figuarts has only made live-action movie figures. Where would this Superman fit among those?
GREATEST SUPERMAN FIGURE EVER!!!
I didn't know this figure existed but would have jumped on it at the time. I'm now wanting to get the Mafex Cyborg Superman, and I'm holding out hope that they'll release a standard Dan Jurgens Superman, which I'd rather have than the Hush version anyway.
Bbts has a rerelease that just went live! Jump on it!
Thanks for the heads up!
The S on the cape would have been nice on the original but ultimately, I don't care too much about the other differences. EXCEPT! I collect mostly Marvel Legends and there is just now way I would want a Superman shorter than the original Mafex one. That would be a deal breaker since I have mostly Marvel Legends.
How do you keep that room clean?
Hey Brad, are you willing to part ways with one of these bad boy?
I’m really curious, if that re issue is shorter than the original, is it shorter than the hush Batman ?
It has to be, because I have both the original Superman and the Batman Hush (black ver.) they stand at the same height but Batman’s ears stick out just past Superman’s hair
do you have a batman hush reissue vs original version?
There is also an reissue for batman
Does Superman smile anymore?
It is from the hush story where he got mind controlled by poison ivy then beat up by batman, don't really think he was in the mood for smiling😂
Its a super nice figure for sure. But I just could not justify 100 bucks for a Superman figure of which there are countless options. I have the Mcfarlane one on display and while the Mafex one is obviously nicer, its just not an extra $100 nicer when that could go towards plenty of other more unique figures. The way I look at it, higher end figures like Mafex are only really worth it for figures of characters that are not easily available. Like Hush with a Jason Todd head. Or a 90s accurate Knightfall Batman (and not the awful red version but the blue and yellow armor we all like). But for a simple Superman there are so many options its crazy.
I just can't find anything impressive at the $20-$25 price point. Thankfully I can afford Mafex/Figuarts otherwise I wouldnt bother collecting at all because ML's and McFarlane figures just don't cut it for me. I require more that $25 worth of 'quality' in my figures.
The new cape looks like kenner toys
I am looking at this on Amazon. But I was wondering if it is the newer version of Superman hush or the original one? Can anyone here help me? In the details I saw that the year was 2021. So maybe it is the newer one. But I would hate to buy it and it not be the right one.
Great review, didn’t get the first release and didn’t know about all the differences with the new one. I just got mine from BBTS and I love it. Found this very informative and helpful. Thanks!
Funny, I feel exactly the opposite about the appearance of the re-issue's cape vs. that of the original's--the originals looks smoother to me. I honestly feel as though the re-issue's fabric cape is a total downgrade.
How in the world does the reissue have a shorter torso when they are using the same molds for this figure? Can't imagine them making a new mold for a reissue. I got the reissue and it looks great. Just confused why the figure is shorter. 🤔
I’m assuming they shortened the rod in the lower torso. Keeping the same articulation and molds, just bringing everything closer together
I hope Mafex reissues Gambit!
I haven't seen anything about a re issue ? Its not even listed on bbts? When it come out? Off topic, are you planning get those 5 POA mezco Batman 66 set?
The reissue dropped at around the beginning of February. Needless to say, it sold out just as quickly as the original release.
Is it really the abs sat down slightly further on the re-issue or you did not make it stand the way you did with the original? The re issue still have the complete 6 pack abs, you just didn't adjust it the same way you showed the original. Also, you didn't mention if there's a length difference in the legs because it shows on your photo comparison. Perhaps that is why the reissue appears shorter?
Nope the abs sit lower on the reissue. Im wondering about the legs too. Cause i dont remember the original going all the way up like the reissue unless you forced it.
There was a third release, you were wrong
Are the legs on the original release pushed in all the way? Cause it being shorter might not be accurate
Look at 2:50 the legs are almost in the same position & theres a considerable height difference!
Let’s Go
is there a way to tell if reissue without opening the box. printed dates? mine says 3-22-5. the 6 pack on mine does seem shorter though
I believe the reissue has the spare hands on clear plastic hand holders and the original didn't.
His head was too tiny. Still is and now he’s even shorter. I sold mine and if the line was deeper I’d have kept him but I think they do another Eventually. I have more dc mezcos so I was able to part with this guy no problem with the mezco superman coming
Imma just get the mezco Man Of Steel.
Cant afford mafex figs however they are nice an can admire them. But honestly waiting to see who gives us the new keaton batman fig in the new suit
I got 78 Superman from Mezco it costed me 140.00 with taxes
@DC Superman, it’s expensive because of that nice Fortress of Solitude base.
@@BrandonNielsen87 I have been a Superman fan since 78
@@BrandonNielsen87 see I don’t buy figures with bases or Dioramas or that stuff I buy for the figure alone. I have limited space too so it’s a choice thing to pass on these
where can you buy the reissue now?
Ebay
What's a good price for these? Thanks for the video, Brad!
If you can get this figure for $80-$100 you should.
Even $120 would be "low", imo.
