I have 3 Mafex figures. Zero issues, completely worth every penny. The whole Mafex being crappy and having QC issues is just a meme.

They make amazing-looking prototypes.

More often than not the final product falls very short of those prototypes.

>How about dearth Vader?
Yes I have Vader. Mafex Vader is tall and stands over my other figures, the Figuarts Vader is short. The cape on the Mafex Vader is fabric and is posable, it has wires in it. His helme is removable and has the unmasked face. Same hands as the Figuarts. The articulation is always best on Figuarts. But that's the only thing better than Mafex. The mafex Vader blows the Figuarts version away.

He has one, any and all Rogue One Vader figures were barred from showing his extended lightsaber in promo shots by Lucasfilm so as to not give away him using it in the ending of the movie. Hot Toys Vader also doesn't have a lightsaber in use in promo shots but it does come with an extended lightsaber.

Recently Mafex has stepped up their QC considerably, but I assure you, in the past it was no "meme". I bought their line of Dark Knight figures and the only one that had no problems was the Joker. Catwoman came in with both of her arm joints facing the wrong way, so when you popped out her hands to switch them, the joints came with them. Batman had a bum leg and for the life of me I could not get the head to stay on. And on the batpod one gun barrel is higher than the other. I managed to fix most of the issues with some tinkering, but that shit is inexcusable.

I got the mafex Batfleck though and shit was great.

Wait 6 months and you'll get them from $30-$50.

Let's hope they implement the digital face printing across entire lines. Their Harley turned out exactly as the prototype advertised (for better or for worse) and apparently it was the first time they tried digital face printing.

Yes, "they" as in MAFEX. Turns out their first figure to ever use it is their recent Harley Quinn figure and if it's any indication, it will do them a lot of good when it comes to future releases with human faces.
