MAFEX Wolverine Brown Version Medicom Marvel Comics X-Men Logan Action Figure Review

Medicom does it again! I know, I know, they have their issues every now and then, but this X-Men Brown Costume Wolverine is up near the top as one of my favorite MAFEX releases ever. It's Marvel Comics art in the palm of your hand, plain and simple.

I’m one of the rare few who prefer’s the Wolverine brown costume over the tiger stripe one. I don’t think a character like wolverine would wear something so bright, he’d likely be wearing brown instead.

[WiGgYof]

I collect Legends and wish I collected MAFEX instead, but I just can't justify the cost. Marvel Legends is like a cheap bag of assorted candy. Does the job, hits the spot and you get a ton of variety without spending too much, but it is quantity over quality. MAFEX is like a handmade artisanal candy you get from a small shop. Expensive, but you are paying for the experience. It's meant to be savored, not consumed.

Just got mine and damn... This is it. I don't think I'll ever need another comic Wolverine again. Absolutely love this fella

[christophervaughn]

This really does look like a wolverine drawing that came to life, looks awesome.

[Chalor.]

8:55 I think the smirk is supposed to capture Wolverine's joyous _'I'm about to rip you a new one'_ expression...but you could look at it in so many different ways. So, so good for the ACBA ppl.

[bechillin]

What really sets mafex apart from legends is they do way better shoulders. Legends likes to drop the shoulders too low. Look how much better the silhouette is on Mafex Wolverine when standing next to Legend Wolverine. The shoulders go along way!!

[Bad_Wolf_Media]

The circles on the packaging is a large-scale halftone print. It's a style of printing from the vintage days of comics and other thing to simulate a full splash of colour while using less ink. It's an effect you can add to digital photos, too, that can give you a "retro" or "comic" look.

That does make it better to look at on this package if you don't like it, but there IS a reason for it.

I feel the "other expression" masked head is a cigar in the hand away from "being a smartass to the whole group

[BayushiGemma]

Being a child of the 80s this is the Wolverine I grew up with and so far the best brown variant I have seen yet. I hope to have this in my collection one day!

[thegillman]

I’ve teased you in the past for being a “pusher”, but you’re really not…you just highlight what makes figures awesome! You definitely sold me on this one….I was content with my Legends, but seeing this side by side with the other ML X-Men? Yeah, this is the Wolverine figure I’ve dreamt of since I was a kid!

[illidan]

That's a John Byrne costume design, not Jim Lee. The dots are reminiscent of the older comics this debuted in where the coloring of the pages was a bunch of tiny color dots that you'd see if you looked up close.

[RetroTube]

Really wish they re-do the tiger-stripe outfit with these claws (and black tiger stripes)

[TheQuikMix]

Mine showed up yesterday, and I don't really have anything but positive things to say about it. Oh, and DHL KILLS IT. They're the best.

[apankura._.]

0:08 here you can truly see how bright are the colors of lady deathstrike

[Chalor.]

Mafex should get into the accessory pack game. If they released a Wolverine set (or Marvel/DC variety packs) that had new clawed hands (and gripping hands), some slashing effects, a gold buckled belt, etc., those would sell incredibly well. I've thought about removing one of those standard Wolverine belts off of a retro brown suit, but not sure if I can get one off by popping parts off. It'd be easy with removing the Mafex one's waist, but Legends is another story....and I really don't want to cut it.

[TuggernautCollectables]

Thanks...Figure looks great..Glad I did not try to chase the legends one which is so expensive now at the aftermarket..like 4-5x it's original price, might as well jump a little bit more for a higher quality Japanese made product.

[smyers]

So much of this figure is appealing...but for the price point, I just really need that paint to be better. This is cleaner, but it still feels a bit off. Paint should not rub when engaging basic articulation either. For $100 the QC ought to be better. My sense is he ought to be bulkier as well, but that's a nitpick.

[adrianovieiramiranda]

That's by far the best suit for Wolverine

[OneSixShooter]

Great review, Robo! I'm loving the Mafex X-men line - they're taking the place of the core Legends in my collection.

[glasswolf]

Love the figure. It reminds me of one of my favorite X-Men covers. #207. Perfection would have been a set of the long spike claws.
