I appreciate your honesty in your reviews! You point out cons, but you don't let it outweigh the pros unless it's necessary. And FINALLY someone compared this to the Mattel Shazam and Sivana! Been waiting for that one! And then you go the extra mile and do the Mattel Aquaman too! We don't deserve you Robo!
I'm just out to enjoy my hobby, really. It takes a lot to actually fire me up, and I like trying to figure out mechanics and how to fix things when necessary. That's part of the overall experience for me. I don't like the shoulders here but I still love the overall figure so I'm happy. I'm getting old, if it ain't fun it ain't worth doing, haha.
In D Amazing's video he discusses those Shoulders. He talks about how he is dealing with them for poses. Also he asks if it's a QC issue or if the shoulders are like this for everyone. Guess it's the latter.
This figure looks great! I really liked the movie so this is tempting. And the shoulders aren't a massive problem for me because I can't think of any pose that would require me to put his arms all the way up.
D Amazing said that they made the shoulders like this because with mafex Batman, who has the same type of shoulders. That figure destroyed the joints from the inside. Idk how, but that's why
Great likeness, love me some Zach/Chuck. Ya, the shoulders and overall size of the figure aren't great, but the did awesome on the photo real. Always been an advocate for the iconic Captain Marvel cape and costume. But overall an ok figure. Keep on Fwooshin brother.
MAFEX is such a hard company to support yet you can't help but cheer for them. I have my MAFEX Robocop and it's the best figure I've ever seen from the character sans the Hot Toys Deluxe Ed. They also released the best Batfleck & a legendary Spider-man in comic style. On the other hand, they fumbled big time with Cyclops & Wolverine when they should've been home-runs. And now? This Shazam's sculpt is great and the faceprint is better than ever...however those shoulders look Marvel Legends Tier (I can't stop noticing how unnatural and round they look) and they function even worse. All in all a good figure that could've been great. I think companies have to do better if they're asking for premium prices. What do you think, Robo?
The lightning to the chest, kinda looks like a bucket of water was dumped on him, "she's a maniac, MANIAC on the floor", nice figure, have a great day Robo!☇
I think the shoulders seem like a very unnecessary design trip for mafex, but i think it should be relatively easy to fix no? Add friction to the butterfly ball, shave a little off the shoulder sculpt. The shoulders being a bit exposed can possibly be hidden by the cape. Otherwise solid release, fantastic head sculpts.
A question a bit unrelated :What do you think about about the Casey Jones from 2014 nickelodeon cartoon? Would you like a figure of him with all the gear and skull face paint?
Don't like that they made the wrist balls gold rather than skin tone. I'm 99% sure he never fires lightning from his palms, would have much preferred Emperor style hands with lightning bolts coming out of multiple fingers, could also be used to match the "lightning from my hands" scene :P 10:33 and yeah that drives me absolutely mad sometimes! 😢 Just recently got their 3.0 Dark Knight and it made it really disappointing because it was like the lower waist joint was spring loaded to tilt to one side
Great review, Robo. No clue why they chose that shoulder design, seems to hold the figure back. Hopefully they get their act together. I’m eager to get their Endgame Cap and Iron Man. And Infinity War Thor looks pretty rad too!
I like my copy despite the shoulder joint they chose. He strikes most poses well and he wasn't exactly doing open arm attacks and pre-bear hug poses in film so meh. Plus he looks amazing next to the MAFEX Justice League on my shelf. Fun stuff.
I will repeat here what I said on Boog's channel: MAFEX is the high school student that has the ability to be valedictorian but is perfectly happy being a B- student. It's maddening.
Just a heads up, Robo. There's currently no way of contacting Medicom for feedback. Not even on their social media pages, since they mostly post promotional material there and never respond to anyone ever. I should know since I tried doing it a few times.
I've never owned a mafex figure because of the price. How's the hand feel of them compared to sh figuarts or robot damashii. Also seeing the infinity war thor, they sure are getting the hang of actor likeness
I wanna buy it but everything is taking forever to ship. Ive bought stuff from bbts and its been processing for a week! Amazon is taking around a week to actually deliver which isnt bad, and ebay has actually been pretty fast
I'm still waiting my Magik from ebay...i hope it. But Amazon was like... Super quick. Ordered Friday afternoon juggernaut and colossus two pack and got it Saturday morning, outstanding!
Amazon's gotten a little better, they were purposefully slower with fulfilling non-essential orders like this for a bit, taking around 2 weeks minimum for me even with the fastest shipping.
the better face paint/sculpt in this figure gives me hopes for the Marvel Endgame figures, and the soon to be released Infinity war thor, hopefully those come out even better than this one
What the hell did medicom do with those shoulders T_T they were perfect in the Justice League line. And somehow they reverted back to the stone age and did that kind of design with the shoulder joint. 🤣 i have it on pre-order, but compared to the overall package, I think the good outweighs the bad on this one. 😊
Definitely would buy this figure, even though it has bad articulation, but I can't because a dollar is almost 7 liras here, so I'll wait for McFarlane to do one
It was beer and alcohol in the States too, but then later once they try it they change their minds go back inside and get stuff they prefer, namely soda/cola/pop.
If it's Fawcett Comics then yes it's Captain Marvel. If it's DC Comics it's Shazam. Check out the history. Warner Bros and DC Comics were being petty because the Captain Marvel comic books was outselling both Superman and Batman comic books back in the thirties. So what does a petty company do like Warner brothers? They go and they take faucet comic books to court citing "copyright"
i'm still waiting for my Cyclops to show up from ami ami that i pre ordered the day it went up and paid for the day it officially released. Anyone else having a problem like this and is it because of everything going on with the world? I've seen so many people getting all the mafex stuff immediately from ami ami but my stuff isn't showing up also great review as always and i'm so excited to get this!
Beardy as much as I agree with you about Mafex always tripping over their own feet honestly it is a VERY Japanese thing to do; they always seem to want to do little tweaks and changes along the way rather than overhauling their system in a big way... it is simply a design philosophy As much as I would want them just to go to a design for a base body and go from there (hell, the Boba Fetts from 3 years ago where basically perfect) it is their way of trying to improve things and honestly I rather have a base body style and be done with it but looks like it isn’t going to happen Cool figure still
This figure would have been utter perfection if it wasn’t for the random ass shoulder engineering. I don’t know why Mafex throws out the blueprints for every figure release and rework things for no reason.
Only if they'd release the Thor instead of new figures. Been waiting on that thing for forever and it'll probably be released in a year or two from now.
While its probable to happen, hasbro MUST make a Raimi Trilogy Spider Man Marvel Legends modern figure in time for the 20th anniversary of the first film. Spread the word.
When will we get a Kazaam figure from Mafex? They're already making a Michael Jordan and LeBron James figure, why not make a Shaq figure in his best role?
They did buy beer in the movie. Then took 1 sip and spit it out lol
Then they went back and bought Cola
Gah, that's right! Haha, dang it, I should have watched it again.
Wow that’s a great looking Captain M- *[REDACTED]*

Damn, that likeness is Uncanny.
@CrewmateDetective Look up Uncanny’s second definition, I’ll wait.
I didn’t know this actor played a character in the Thor movies.
Yup, he was Fandral in the first Thor movie.
Actually it was a different actor in the first Thor movie but in the second one it was Zachary levi
I appreciate that medicom never does those darn plastic capes (tamashii.. Bro stop that) but yea aside from the arm thing I love the figure
In D Amazing's video he discusses those Shoulders. He talks about how he is dealing with them for poses. Also he asks if it's a QC issue or if the shoulders are like this for everyone. Guess it's the latter.
"this is just the trash around my toy" XD amen!
It just looks like from the movie!!!
Because it is
That’s the general idea
As opposed to what?
Really? I didn’t know the actor had a line through his chest and pins through his knees and foot
H6
This figure looks great! I really liked the movie so this is tempting. And the shoulders aren't a massive problem for me because I can't think of any pose that would require me to put his arms all the way up.
Flying or lifting something over his head. Which to me is huge factors for shazam
You can rotate the arm up still for flying.
Yeah cool but ur missing the point.
That chest emblem is kinda great. What a neat accessory.
Potential to use the head on a different figure and make a figure of Chuck from the show.
Ooh that's a good idea
That opening cracked me up lol.😂
D Amazing said that they made the shoulders like this because with mafex Batman, who has the same type of shoulders. That figure destroyed the joints from the inside. Idk how, but that's why
Great review!!!!!!! I'll be looking into getting this. Very much appreciate your review. And your humor..perfect!
Well crap ROBO!! Thanks a lot..you just made me realize I REALLY need this in my collection! Thanks for the info and vid sir!
It's like that too many times!!! Hahaha rip my wallet
7:08 Hey you referenced Chuck! I loved that show! :D
“But those shoulders are shit!” Best quote of any toy review. Made me lol. But that on the box Mafex.
Great likeness, love me some Zach/Chuck. Ya, the shoulders and overall size of the figure aren't great, but the did awesome on the photo real. Always been an advocate for the iconic Captain Marvel cape and costume. But overall an ok figure. Keep on Fwooshin brother.

All in all a good figure that could've been great. I think companies have to do better if they're asking for premium prices. What do you think, Robo?
When they hit, they hit hard, and at this point they are almost the underdog you want to see win. But they gotta keep tightening things up.
The lightning to the chest, kinda looks like a bucket of water was dumped on him, "she's a maniac, MANIAC on the floor", nice figure, have a great day Robo!☇
Your right Robo. It's juuust about there. Thanks brother for another quality video.
Hearing Robo say shit legit made me do a double take. I went back twice to make sure I heard it correctly. Ahah
Ahah I’ve finally seen someone else who knows about chuck
Love Chuck, I need to go back and finish the series.
That was a great show! Also Fandral lol
I’m actually rewatching it right now lol!
cola for the poster, beer for the film. obviously you can't show a kid chugging a fosters. even though we all did it at that age... just me?
if I remember right, they bought beer, didn’t like it and bought soda
Unless I am remembering wrong, they buy beer, drink a sip, spit it out, then buy cola and enjoy that

Great review. I always wanted a figure of Chuck!
Yes coneheads..... The Dan Aykroyd classic is the first thing that comes to mind when I see a pointy white hood
I really like how it looks just wish it was cheaper
Médicom you were the chosen one!!
So he finally came out I see.
Not speaking for the whole of Michigan. But we say "Pop". Not soda. Anyway. Good review that head sculpt is crazy good!
Yeah, down here in Arkansas it was always Coke, no matter what. "Want a Coke? "Sure!" "What kind?" "Pepsi!"
Great review, Robo. No clue why they chose that shoulder design, seems to hold the figure back. Hopefully they get their act together. I’m eager to get their Endgame Cap and Iron Man. And Infinity War Thor looks pretty rad too!
Shazam, is a Christmas movie.
Man oh man fwoosh I love your videos so muccch
I like my copy despite the shoulder joint they chose. He strikes most poses well and he wasn't exactly doing open arm attacks and pre-bear hug poses in film so meh. Plus he looks amazing next to the MAFEX Justice League on my shelf. Fun stuff.

I wanted to make a justice league with Nolan Batman and this shazam! Also, I think it’s DC extended universe
I would have loved if the name on the packaging was 'Captain Sparkle Fingers'!
I just started collecting and got the entire super skrull wave at my local target
That pose @12:01 .... Dam that was good!
So excited!!!! Captai... mmph shazam
Hahahah ‘these shoulders are shit!’really made me laugh
When is it gonna be available for USA release?
With the poses, it looks it's come straight from the movie from the shots you've taken
It looks amazing
I've never owned a mafex figure because of the price. How's the hand feel of them compared to sh figuarts or robot damashii. Also seeing the infinity war thor, they sure are getting the hang of actor likeness
I have the TDK Batman 3.0 and he is solid.
They have a premium feel. Not as solid as SHF but not bad.
I’m never this early.....
I wanna buy it but everything is taking forever to ship. Ive bought stuff from bbts and its been processing for a week! Amazon is taking around a week to actually deliver which isnt bad, and ebay has actually been pretty fast
To be fair, BBTS usually takes about a week to process orders.
Unagi Roll really? Ive bought from them before and it takes maybe a week to arrive, and maybe a day or 2 to process. But these are covid times
I'm still waiting my Magik from ebay...i hope it. But Amazon was like... Super quick. Ordered Friday afternoon juggernaut and colossus two pack and got it Saturday morning, outstanding!
Amazon's gotten a little better, they were purposefully slower with fulfilling non-essential orders like this for a bit, taking around 2 weeks minimum for me even with the fastest shipping.
Reyking Maybe it’s because I wait until I have several items before shipping, but it’s always taken mine 3-5 days at least
How do u always get Mint Boxes, mine look like a bear has played with them when I get toys.
Got this fig and love it!!
I need this figure!!!
With the hood up, he looks like that cultist dude Conan stole the robe from.
Yo bro where do you get these preorders from??
the better face paint/sculpt in this figure gives me hopes for the Marvel Endgame figures, and the soon to be released Infinity war thor, hopefully those come out even better than this one
I want this figure so bad 😩
Hey Robo I'm a big fan and I have the black widow wave and can you PLEASE review the black widow wave
What the hell did medicom do with those shoulders T_T they were perfect in the Justice League line. And somehow they reverted back to the stone age and did that kind of design with the shoulder joint. 🤣 i have it on pre-order, but compared to the overall package, I think the good outweighs the bad on this one. 😊
Are you going to get the hasbro ghostbusters to review?
You don't have the mafex justice league to size compare?
Love the shirt, Robo!
also someone seriously needs to put one of the heads on a suit body to make his later season version of Chuck!
Great review figure looks awesome but with those shoulders it’s a pass I really hope they haven’t used these joints on infinity war Thor
Definitely would buy this figure, even though it has bad articulation, but I can't because a dollar is almost 7 liras here, so I'll wait for McFarlane to do one
i didnt even notice the kind of V shape that is very captain marvel style kind of like they are trying to say that he is the real captain marvel
Shazam was a good movie. I liked it. Cool action figure robo
Good work keep it up!
that must of been an edited thing for different places? here in the UK it was 100% beer or some alcohol it was the entire point of the scene right?
It was beer and alcohol in the States too, but then later once they try it they change their minds go back inside and get stuff they prefer, namely soda/cola/pop.
@@MrTomemac ahh right ok
Need that bane imposter for all my other figures to smash on but id never waste money on anything nolan
If it's Fawcett Comics then yes it's Captain Marvel. If it's DC Comics it's Shazam. Check out the history. Warner Bros and DC Comics were being petty because the Captain Marvel comic books was outselling both Superman and Batman comic books back in the thirties.

also great review as always and i'm so excited to get this!
I'm more questioning why Billy doesn't have a figure of his movie design lol
Subscribed!
i'm surprised that they didn't just print Soder Cola on the pop.
No interest in the figure but that is a dam good head sculpt!
Beardy as much as I agree with you about Mafex always tripping over their own feet honestly it is a VERY Japanese thing to do; they always seem to want to do little tweaks and changes along the way rather than overhauling their system in a big way... it is simply a design philosophy

Cool figure still
Such a charming figure 😍
i'm batman. get him batman. lol. loved that in the movie.
Shazam~~~~~~~~
Will pass on this one because of the shoulder joints
Nice
This figure would have been utter perfection if it wasn’t for the random ass shoulder engineering. I don’t know why Mafex throws out the blueprints for every figure release and rework things for no reason.
Only if they'd release the Thor instead of new figures. Been waiting on that thing for forever and it'll probably be released in a year or two from now.
Actually, it's been spotted in overseas shops, should be this week or next.
I enjoyed the video. I'll look forward to the next video.~~★★★
80 bucks? Starting to like my Mattel more n more.
can't wait for this one! It's been pre ordered, i just can't get it thanks to the Pandemic!
Shazam joining ku klux klan 😄 great texture on this fig, shame the arms dont go full 90 but great fig likeness.
Oh hell nah! You didn't bring Mafex Henry Cavill into the review?!
While its probable to happen, hasbro MUST make a Raimi Trilogy Spider Man Marvel Legends modern figure in time for the 20th anniversary of the first film. Spread the word.
ok i will buy it tack till dig!!
The Duality of Man by Robo chapter 1 Mafex QC
I wish MacFarlane takes notice of those knees.
When will we get a Kazaam figure from Mafex?
They're already making a Michael Jordan and LeBron James figure, why not make a Shaq figure in his best role?
They probably will make Shaq but Shaq is really tall guy. So they need develop a new body.
Face is very impressive...sucks the shoulders are restricted in movement
Oh Man makes a video reviewing another Boku no hero doll
It should have came with a yelling "shazam" head
Ahah I’ve finally met someone else who knows about chuck
Light lighting with my hand lighting with my hand
