MAFEX Rey Star Wars: The Force Awakens Medicom Action Figure Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 08. 2024
- Finally, another Rey in the running! We already had the Hasbro Star Wars Black Series version from Jakku at the first of The Force Awakens but Medicom has now released their MAFEX version. And it's a great figure but it won't be for everyone.

>If you open her out of the package she'll just whine about wanting to go back to it
Holy shit I'm glad I'm home alone because I cracked up, you're funnier every video.
Her arms look super freaking weird, when you were showing the hand options.
Casey Jones Gangly robotic elbows
HAHA! The bit with folding the instructions! I actually laughed out loud!
Heh, that thing was about to kick my ass!
There's that review! She's a great figure man, glad you enjoy her. Definitely hope they do a version of Finn in the jacket, because uhhh...yeah, that Black series Finn looks pretty dookey dook compared to the Mafex and SHF figures, even amongst other Black series figures he looks pretty bad. Happy May the 4th sir!
Reggie Salas Black Series Finn looks like Tracey Morgan
I'm gonna pick this up around Christmas time thanks for the review
You are correct sir about the quality issues with Mafex at times because today I was messing with this Rey and her bottom bun on her head popped off when I was turning the head and tomorrow I will try to super glue it back on. The Mafex Rogue One Darth Vader which I love the most which I own will probably be the last Mafex figure I will buy after this happening today because they cost too much for poor quality like this and now after this happening I better not switch out my Vader's hands anymore. He is not the only Vader I own because I have the 40th anniversary black series and the sh figuarts new hope versions of Vader as well but after this happening to this Rey today I am not switching out hands on the Mafex Rogue One Vader anymore and will just keep the lightsaber gripping hands on because I don't trust Mafex quality anymore after this happening.
I wonder if the most of the Last Jedi Rey figures will be the Resistance outfit or her training robes with the hair down as revealed in the Battlefront 2 character designs.
Here's a quick fix for the arm issue. The peg for the bicep is connected through the upper arm to the elbow joint. For some of the Reys it seems like the left elbow wasn't shoved all the way into the left upper arm. Apply some force to it and more of the bicep peg should poke out of the upper arm, giving a better connection.
Yeah, I noticed that, but no amount of pressure keeps it on like it should.
just get out the dremel and fix it up. I like some Mafex stuff- like Phasma and troops but this is "meh".....i DO like all the accessories and hopefully somebody out there in the facebook customs groups will make a cast of some of these. Come September we will be getting the first wave of The Last Jedi merch......Ill hold out until then and see what Hasbros release of Rey (Resistance outfit) is all about. For now though Im happy with my Black Series Rey with custom paint apps I applied
This is a rare occasion where I like the black series better than the import.
Ha. A shoulder pad to cover up the flaw. Then the alternate head options for those not too keen on her facial details/resemblence.
Heh, didn't even realize that there happens to be a shoulder pad on the screwy side. Tricksy, Medicom, tricksy....
Wow.. this figure looks too cool. I probably need to pick her up too! The detail, as you pointed out, looks so great on this one. Great review buddy! Can't wait to see the next!
The face is okay, the articulation of the arm looks horrible but damn the accessories are really one of the best! Escpecially the helmet of Captain Dosmit Raeh. The only thing that doesn't fit is the blaster, which was silver in the movie. All in all I think it's the accessories that make her really stand out, i just which they would do different arms.
I finally purchased this Medicom version of Rey and got it in the mail today and I love it and in my opinion it blows the Hasbro version out of the water.
Agreed!
Just got mine today…Yeehaww!! 🤩🤩🤩
Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are both 5'7"; just as Adam Driver and Gwendoline Christie are both 6'3". I'd say the Mafex Rey's about right. I wasn't planning on picking this up, but this may be my first Medicom figure (along with Boba, when I decide which version).
Gah, I didn't realize Finn was that short. Hmm.
Hot Toys lied to us. Honestly, at that price, there's no excuse for such an egregious discrepancy in height between them; at this scale it's fine, especially considering we're mixing different company's products.
Mafex Rey's height isn't "about right" on the 1/12 scale... Too tall. Just like Robo said: Rey (Daisy) is 5ft 7in. and this Mafex figure is "five and 7/8ths" = 5.875inches, so when you upscale from 1/12 to 1/1, she would be 70.5 inches, which converts to 5ft 10.5inches, taller than Luke and Kenobi, wtf... she's suppose to be 5ft 7in... Black Series scale is on point, but I'd rather wait and buy the S.H. figuarts Rey
Anyway, agreed that Hot Toys fudged up as well, Finn is too tall. He's gotta be shortened. But, Boyega is 5ft 8.5in , not 5ft 7....
Hell, I put the 2017 Celebration exclusive Kotobukiya 0-0-0 & BT-1 in with my figures. I feel bad for the people that are losing sleep over the size problems. Close enough!
(They are absolutely beautiful, btw. The paint is really incredible. Depending on the angle and lighting 0-0-0 is either black or a very dark blue-green. And BT-1 looks better in person than I expected.)
I stood and looked at them through the glass at the show. If I had been more familiar with the characters I may have gotten them, they looked awesome.
Is it just me that thinks the colour is off? The colour seems closer to her outfit at the end of the force awakens. It's particularly noticeable with the mask, which is the colour she should be. Robes-wise.
I thought that too but reference pics are mixed. Sometimes it does look like this. I really need to watch the movie again.
I was hoping it would look better, but it's not awful. She's definitely too pale and too made up. She also looks older than she should. The outfit is too dark as well. I'm glad I held off. Hopefully it won't be too long before the Figuarts Resistance version comes out. Great review!
I thought the same about the outfit color but reference pics are split. In some they are this grey. It's really weird. But yeah, I can't wait to see if SHF will take this one to school.
You Sir, are on a roll. I mean, Rey, Chewie,Venom, Spidey, wow. Non-stop review buffet. haha. keep'em coming!!!
Haha, lot of stuff in the mail this week, plus I'm catching up from being gone to cons. I'll definitely try!
You know, I've been anticipating this figure, been blown away by the better face compared to hasbro's and Mafex's Kylo ren, and dug this figure use of gray over the more often used tan color....only to realize that I didn't like her Jakku outfit.
3:17 fir this precise reason and much I prefer her resistance look. SO This leaves me with two likely choices, Bandai or Hasbro. The latter while most likely make one latter this year in time for the Last Jedi, but while Bandai release their's first?
I'm going to be to be patient either way.
The thing I can't get out of my head is that robo has seen Twilight
I believe Adam driver is 6ft 3"
Nice Bella figure :D Can't wait for Edward Cullen!
Wow. This figure looks great in person, much better than pictures or video let on. Agree, she's a little on the pale side. Only complaint...
I finally got her yesterday, but I am really disappointed. Her waist joint is so weak, she came apart when I tried to stop her slouch. Her left arm at the shoulder pops out with any movement. Such a buzz kill :(
I am still waiting for my package to arrive from amiami. I did choose the cheapest delivery with tracking. But seeing your review I have something to look forword too. and yes the likenesses is off, but it looks like the promo pictures this time. So we know what to expect.
That's a good point I didn't think about. That is a nice change for Medicom.
I received mine today. On mine the loose arm is worse. But if you move the elbow joint up, it does stick a little better. Overal great figure. I have her setup in scavenger look. 3 downsides. She does indeed not really look like daisy ridley, the loose arm, and the color of her outfit. It is too grey. Should be more light brown.
At $70 I'm tempted to wait for the version of her that comes with Rey’s Jakku Speeder. But... the helmet might just be the deciding factor.
It's weird to think of the helmet as the deciding factor but I'm right there with you. That thing is so nice, it makes me happy I bought this.
I didn't know mafex had instructions!
I am still on the fence with this one. Any News on SHFiguarts release?
Nope, no news whatsoever.
How well or bad does she stand in scale with the Kylo Ren SH Figuarts. I'd love to get her on my shelf due to the amazing number of accessories and how the face actually turned out better than I expected in comparison to the Harley Quinn and Joker MAFEX, while at the same time waiting for the SHF Resistance outfit version.
She's going to be either the same height or taller considering the figuarts Kylo is a bit short
She's still shorter than the SHF Kylo but looks large, if that makes sense.
all the accessories make the figure worth the money!
The helmet is well done, and it was a cute moment in the film, but I would've much rather had an alternate teeth gritted or smiling head. Otherwise, very happy with how this turned out, can't wait to get mine. Now if Bandai would hurry their asses up and release the Resistence outfit.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how the SHF version stacks up.
Are you getting the MAFEX revenge of the sith darth Vader?
you just compared Star Wars to Twilight
"I see dislikes in the force" -Edward Kenobi
0:18 - Arrrgghh! You B'stard! Only kidding that's so funny :)
I recently bought the 40th anniversary obi wan 6 inch figure but it keeps bothering me how he can't sit down. If you happen to have an extra one could you do a tutorial showing us how to put on a fabric skirt. I'm broke and don't want to waste my money ruining the figure if the fabric doesn't work out. If you read this and decide to make a video, thank you.
I don't know of anyone who has made a cloth skirt for Obi-wan, or I totally would.
Great review and what looks like a great figure. The face is one of the weaker parts and not as good as the promo shots, but I may be in for my first Mafex figure (still waiting for a Mafex Jango as I didn't get either Boba)
Head sculpt ruined it for me, if they came out with 2.0 with better face id get its
This figure seems cool however I think it shows that Hasbro's sculpts are pretty damn good for the price. Its just the paints that fail them. I actually repainted the face and clothes of mine to good enough for the shelf results. This face sculpt is just not good enough for the price for me.
Adam Driver is 6'2"
Did you hear the news there making "amazing Yamaguchi revoltech carnage I guess they did listen to your opinions
Haha, it's a pretty obvious choice though, after Venom and Spidey. But it looks absolutely amazing.
the decisions in life are hard, watch this Fwoosh review before bed or listen to your fave bands new album. At the end of the day great review O/ an she does look like rey at certain angles
Haha, I feel special! Yeah, it does, but from a lot of angles it looks off. But still good. If that makes sense.
haha, you should since at this current moment you are my top YT figure reviewer. Only person I sit through the articulation part even for figures Ill never own and I watch every video you put out (also try to comment something each time aswell)
That's funny because even I kind of zone out when I'm editing the articulation part, haha, you're dedicated! But I appreciate it, I really do. It's awesome to hear when people dig what I do, because I love doing it. Makes it even more fun.
haha I prob would aswell if I were making the video myself. that is one of the main things I like, you have fun and I can tell when something is good an when its bad. keep up the great work
why did you have to say, Bella, was that revenge to me?
Weird thing, this was BEFORE the Lando thing, haha. Back to the Future revenge!
This figure is amazing! I do like this a lot! I can't believe you told us she looks like Bella from Twilight Robo! Lol! You mean lean bastard! Anyway, I was in a bit of a funk before I clicked on this and I still am, but definetly not as much as before. So thanks for putting this video our and helping me feel better. Happy Star Wars Day and May The 4th Be With You Robro! lol! See what I did there?
P.S. I always love your unreadables jokes. That's one of the best parts of your import figure reviews!
Robo - will u be doing a review of Mafex Darth Vader (ROTS)?? Pleeeeease
Ted He's said a couple times that he's just passing on the ROTS Vader but he will review the RO version when it comes out.
Geoff Dell but he has it reviewed on his site: thefwoosh.com/index.php/2017/05/medicom-mafex-star-wars-revenge-of-the-sith-darth-vader/
Just wondering if video will be done as well as written review
I didn't actually write that review, that was another reviewer on staff. I passed on the RotS version. Just too close to the original.
one word-----Fivehead.
She does look angry. Pose her looking at Finn
May the 4 be with you
And you, my friend!
God damn that's a lot of accessories!... (How it should be)
Agree, and they are all nice and useful, not just filler. Love it.
She looks great. I love the accessories. MUCH better than the black series imo. Great review.
damn. good
Jokes on you I have never seen twilight so I don’t know who Bella is
never seen twilight so ha fwoosh
BELLA!? Noooooooooooooooooo...
13:14 a gary coleman action figure??
OMG SHE IS BELLA
What
Another great review, Robo. I agree with your overall feel and most of your points. On the negatives, I think she does indeed have a bitchface (contrary to Daisy in the movie), AWFUL arms (disproportionate, asymmetrical, weird elbows), and the size is kinda wrong...but you know what? Mafex is indeed heading into (hopefully) greener grass with these releases. They still need to fix important stuff, but I doubt that the future SHF Rey wil provide what to me constitutes the saving grace of this figure: the insane amount of great-looking, fun and charismatic accesories. I'd say the figure is a solid 7/10 for me,considering the QC issue with the arm, weak ankle joints and etc. I'm looking forward to these two companies going head-to-head trying to outdo the competition in quality releases.
And within the first 20 seconds, the figure is ruined. Thanks.
Lol Now I will never be able to get this figure because of my hatred for twilight
Great review bro!!! But damn you for the Bella comment. However if when you put her on her knees she replacates how Ms. Stewart got her role in Snow White And The Huntsman I'll buy two... LOL
Needed your help with something, messaged you on Instagram
i am not a huge fan of Rey so i will skip! I want the jaina solo black series figure, she is so much better then rey
Isn't Daisy Ridley 5'7??
JigglyChocolateman Yeah she's 5'7 or extremely close to it.
Isn't that what I said? Or did I say something different?
I can't help but give the win to the black series in all reality. She's too tall and looks like she's borderline designed to be in black and white
Andrew Odette Agreed. I'm honestly still not impressed by MAFEX at all. I believe the best collection still is a mix of S.H. Figuarts and Bandai model kits with a pinch of Black Series.
its a shame because this figure has alot more accessories then the black series version
Sharrel Wright Is that even relevant to the conversation?
glad I didn't fall for preordering this one, the face just looks so off... If I'm gonna have to repaint it, I aint payin that much for a toy.
Glad I canceled my preorder. Bullet dodged!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "Resting Bitch Face"
Her hair looks kinda dark and the clothes are too grey
I thought the same at first about the grey of the clothes but reference pictures are all over the place. It depends on what background she's standing against. Sometimes they are tan, sometimes they look like this.
Mais uq é issu
Totally trash bs is better if you look at the price
It has a Barbie type of look. Robo you are becoming a Mafex apologist.
I'm sure others agree with you. But I did point out the twiggy limbs and high crotch. I just found more to like than hate.
You should do your reviews at all different times and vary things up. It seems like you ONLY review figs at the end of the day. Try the start of the day or the middle of the day. Variety is the spice of life! You my friend may be in a rut. But, at the end of the day it's up to you.
Johnny Law I like it because I catch it on the way home from work
'Twas a joke dude. You know, how he says "at the end of the day" at the end of every single review. Perhaps it just wasn't funny.
damn bro, that was a really bad one
Haha, and I gotta break myself from saying "Tonight I'm taking a look at...." because I rarely do the reviews at night anymore. When I first started they were all at night and that just became habit.
you gotta have canon continuity
Forearms too long
Sawft sawfttttttttt
Wow that’s a really bad looking figure
