Green Goblin might possibly be my favorite all time figure. The love that went into it is so apparent. He jumped right out of a classic Amazing Spider-Man comic book. This is my first Mezco figure and I am afraid of how much I like it. I think it can mesh with Legends unlike the F4 where the styling difference is more obvious.

Fully agreed, it's a fantastic toy that displays perfectly with all plastic figures. That's a really nice set-up for your Spidey display, by the way! Love the dynamic posing.

By the way, you posted this in the MAFEX thread. Mezco thread is right here. Not a big deal at all, just thought it'd be good to let you know.

Whoops wrong thread. Thanks for letting me know!

Not posting anything new or revolutionary here, but I bought Gambit during this recent re-stock, and WOW!

What an amazing figure. By far the best Gambit I own. 

Really happy I broke down and picked him up, but now it's going to be even harder to fight temptation on others that have caught my interest over the years.

Almost every Mafex is the best version of that character ever made in the 1:12 scale so no surprise there.  Gambit is definitely one of their absolute best though.

I've picked up a bunch of Mafex in the last year or so. I don't disagree that they are generally better than any other option out there, but I haven't always felt like they were so much better to be worth it. Gambit though? Easily one of the best figures I own, and 100% worth the upgrade.

I am thinking of getting the Psylcoke rerelease sometime soon. I like the way it looks alot better then the Hasbro ones. I've watched a couple reviews and seen side by sides of the first release next to some ML figures. But I heard it had really loose joints. Anyone buy the rerelease and knows of the joints are tighter now? Also, I would like some opinions on it if you have it in your displays with ML, cause that's where she'd go.

I've been thinking the same thing and would also appreciate any insight on the reissue. I initially didn't like the general look of Psylocke but she's grown on me, and now I'm thinking I might want to pick her up.

Japanese retailers have been listing pre-orders for them for over a week.  It's sold out everywhere already for pre-orders including BBTS.  The only people getting their orders in on the Japanese sites are people staying up all night since Japan's daytime hours are mostly during nighttime hours in the Americas.

People are posting when they see them in the Reddit Mafex forum, but they're usually gone within an hour.

I already have Ben, but I've always skipped Venom due to being too small.  But he's not as undersized as their Kirby Thor is, yet I bought that one so I keep second-guessing myself on him.  Luckily he sells out so fast I haven't been tempted yet because there's no way I'm staying up all night or refreshing my browser enough to land him given the current demand.

Yeah, Venom is one I can comfortably skip. I'd grab Reilly if he stayed in stock long enough, but I'm not dying for him.

Also Venom but only 6 left

Curse you...I caved.  😫 🤪

Meh, Venom is my second-favorite villain.  I'm addicted to Mafex!  🤢

For what it's worth, I think MAFEX Venom is a great figure, even if he could stand to be a little bigger. Considering that Eddie Brock is listed as 6'3" I don't even think it's that underscaled if you think about it as the symbiote just acting as an extremely skintight costume without adding any extra bulk.
