For the discerning Figure Collector, MAFEX has a wide range of appealing points. For the newcomer, they’re also a great choice owing to their simplicity and wide range of available characters.
In the world of posable action figure collection, principally, MAFEX fulfills an important role at the intersection of affordability, collectability and detail. For a fraction of the cost of a more expensive 1/6 figure, MAFEX offers a similar level of detail for a much smaller and more articulated figure.
Characters from movies or TV shows have strong resemblance to their on-screen counterparts, with detailed face sculpts, but also detailed helmet and mask sculpts for ‘superhero’ type characters.
MAFEX routinely comes with a selection of appropriate accessories, as well as optional parts like alternate faces, hand parts and more. If a character has iconic accessories, they’re likely to have them in the MAFEX releases. Take Spiderman MAFEX for example - they always come with web-swinging parts!
MAFEX is also known for its wide range of licenses spanning across popular culture. Iconic superhero series like the MCU and the DCEU have gotten MAFEX releases, but we’ve also seen a wealth of comic-accurate designs that have yet to appear in other modern action figure lineups, like iconic X-men comic book designs.
Outside of comic characters, there’s also been a lot of other iconic franchises represented in the MAFEX lineup such as The Terminator, Robocop, John Wick, Star Wars and many more.
