Medicom 6" MAFEX Star Wars figures

<< < (8/9) > >>

Diddly:
Got a large package in the mail today from HLJ, containing the ESB Boba Fett and First Order Stormtrooper. ROTJ Boba Fett is on its way too, via much slower shipping.

Diddly:
Finally got ROTJ Boba Fett after a 6 week wait. I shipped it here with the cheapest available option to save $10. Never again.

I've kept most of my stuff carded, but opened this one up. It's such a great figure! I've heard reports of loose joints but everything on mine is great so far. Only "bad" thing is that the wrist ball-joints pop apart easily, but they're also easy to snap back together. ESB Boba is supposed to be an even better figure so maybe I'll get around to opening it some day.

Got a payment request for Phasma but I'm letting it sit in my HLJ Private Warehouse for a few weeks. Kylo Ren and 3PO/BB-8 arrived in the mail the other day. Some brief thoughts:

BB-8 is fun, but there isn't much to do with it. I haven't opened my Hasbro version but this one uses magnets to move the head, not unlike the Sphero BB-8. You can swap out a panel and put in the lighter when he does the "thumbs up" to Finn.

3PO is GREAT to look at, but a bit of a mess. I haven't opened the OT MAFEX 3PO that came with R2, but I've heard bad things. This one just feels fragile. The joints come off, but I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not. They're easy to pop back into place though. I still think Revoltech has the best 6 inch version of 3PO on the market, even if the vac metalization looks great on this version.

Kylo Ren, I had heard bad things about it, but I LOVE the figure. The robe is a bit bulky but it hides the weird joints of the figure. I LOVE the hood. Medicom threw in a wire at the edge so you can adjust it so it covers Kylo's helmet perfectly. They also added vac metal to the silver portions of Kylo's helmet and it looks AMAZING. Legit only complaint is that the Adam Driver headsculpt looks nothing like Adam Driver at all, which led me to buy a few unmasked Kylo Hasbro figures on the cheap to use the heads. The Hasbro version of Vader's melty helmet is also much better than Medicom's.

But yeah, Kylo gets a high recommendation from me.

I got some Japanese figures in the mail last week, specifically Phasma, Rey and ROTS Vader. Haven't opened Vader, but he comes with cool "crossed" hands, which allow you to pose him with his arms crossed like at the end of ROTS.

Rey is a pretty fun figure though, with a TON of accessories. My only complaints re with the quality of the figure: the left arm falls off since the peg is too small (had to fix that with a dab of Krazy Glue), and the hands are way too small, so putting the lightsaber or blaster in her hands takes a good 2-3 minutes.

Phasma is alright, I enjoy the vac-metal with "dirt" weathering they did, but it's just kind of a boring figure, much like the character. Looks good standing behind Kylo, but not much else you can do with it.

McMetal:
Is there a good resource anywhere with a complete listing of the SW figures released in this line? I have tried cobbling one together but apparently there are a lot more than I thought.
