Action Figure Medicom - MAFEX Star Wars line coming

[ShadowGuardian]

The problem with the tall waist is the ball joint in the lower torso is too tall. Instead of just being a ball it's a ball on top of a short peg. All you have to do to modify it is cut that ball and peg out and re glue just the ball to where the peg was.
That lowers the abdomen just enough for it to be accurate and correct..... it's actually a real simple process here's the results.

Pretty neat mod, you seem to have to break or cut pegs on Mafex quite a lot.

 

[Timemeddler]

Are they really better than these?

 

[Rogerbee]

I'm guessing they are the Bandai kits.

 

[Hydeous]

Proportion on three-do is better on the bandai kit than Mafex, and that's coming from someone who isn't a threepio accuracy nut.

The body looks better, but, that head looks all wrong somehow.

 

[ShadowGuardian]

So should I get the Mafex R2 and 3PO or the Bandi model kit ones?

The MAFEX R2-D2's blues are too light and the C-3PO doesn't have a perfect likeness. They're good figures, but not great. If you take the time to weather the Bandai model kits, they'll look much better than the MAFEX figures when completed.

New images of Rey and Vader. They look pretty awesome but I'm not buying anything Mafex until their QC improves. https://news.toyark.com/2016/08/31/star-wars-mafex-episode-3-darth-vader-force-awakens-rey-219731

Vader still isn't perfect, things are better placed on the body, but, the helmet still looks a bit on the small side. Rey looks ok and there are some good accessories, I was a bit surprised by the lack of cloth goods on her. Will this now prompt Figuarts to do one I wonder.......

 

[guyver1]

Wait the new Vader is the Christensen version pass

 

[cyberhobbymike]

The bandai C3P0 Wires at the waist is better done than hottoys

Lol Hot Toys hasn't made a C-3PO

Lol Hot Toys hasn't made a C-3PO

Hot Toys proto c3po figure was shown about 4 weeks ago. Search for the thread and you'll see some pics.

Hmm, looks pretty good, I'd have to see how he'd scale with a Figuarts first though....
