Today I received the Mafex/Medicom Deadpool. It’s a really
great figure with LOTS of accessories and extras.
He comes with a total of 8 pairs of hands (fists, holding
fists, trigger finger holding, relaxed, open, pointing, hang five and thumbs
up). He comes with 2 swords, a harness with sword handles that fits like a
backpack, 3 heads (regular, narrow/squinted eyes, and one eye open and the
other winking). He comes with 3 different belt buckles as well. And finally, a
stand. The one thing you immediately notice is that he does not come with any
guns, which would’ve been nice, but the wide selection of hands more than make
up for it. And I own a pair of extra action figure guns that fit his hands. You
can always buy extra accessories off eBay, such as guns and stuff.
I’ll immediately say that the stand is rather weak. It’s
good for keeping him in standing poses, but in action poses where his feet are
off the ground, it’s simply too loose to support his weight and will droop down.
Luckily I own a number of other stands from various action figures, so any of
those will work. I guess those are the benefits of owning multiple
figures/sets.
He sports articulation in the neck, shoulders, upper arm
cut, elbow, wrist, torso and abs, thighs, along with thigh swivel, knees and ankles.
His shoulders also have a slight
butterfly joint for a bit of extra movement in the arms. The legs also drop
down a bit for additional mileage when posing them. The pouches on his belt
buckle can swivel up as well. The joints are all good and he’s able to get into
some good action figure poses.
Because of the wide selection of hands, this adds a lot of
character and makes him stand out. This makes him a lot of fun to play with and
pose. He will definitely stand out amongst your other action figures.
His design is based on a comic version and not the film
version, so his look is a little more simple. However, it looks quite nice. He
stands a little taller than most Figuarts and is almost the same height as Marvel
Legends.
This figure is really great and definitely worth getting if
you’re a Deadpool fan. The design, the accessories and the articulation make
him a winner. This is my 2nd Mafex figure and I really love it. For
years Mafex had a reputation for having lots of QC issues, but I’ve heard from
multiple sources and in many reviews that they have improved in the last
several years. This Deadpool rocks.
