MAFEX John Wick Photo Shoot

Posted on June 3, 2019 at 3:43 pm by Tony_Bacala under General Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Two things, never mess with a man’s dog or his car. Well, someone did both and now we have 3 awesome movies because of it. :) I’m surprised it took this long to get some kick ass merch for the property but John Wick has officially arrived with this MAFEX figure. There are others from Mezco and DST coming, but this is a traditional upper tier action figure in the 1/12-ish scale which fits into my line ups the best so far. He comes with 2 heads, 2 x pistol, 1 x shotgun, 1 x rifle, and a stand. Articulation is everywhere you need it, all significant poses are attainable even in his slender suited body style. Heads use digital printing and are solid from a distance, up close they get a little mucky. Sculpts are like 75% there. In some angles and light, it’s dead on Keanu. In others, not so much. Neither are bad, they are in the zone, but it’s not epic level accuracy.

Bottom line, I really dig the John Wick movies and have been itching for figures. This guy is top of whats available for the foreseeable future and IMO is worthy of a pick up. Read on to check out over 55 HD images showing his skills courtesy of Entertainment Earth! He’s in stock and shipping now!

    Nice. Just saw John Wick 3 yesterday and it was pretty damn good.

    This figure was my gateway into Mafex figures. Everything felt nice and smooth, and then I picked up Bane, and my God, the QC issues I had with it were enough to push me away from Mafex for the foreseeable future.

    I think this figure is pretty close to perfect. I was really surprised how sharp the faceprint looks in-hand which I rarely expect from Medicom. Also lovely pictures especially the water droplets/effects.

    These two statements sum up how I feel. One angle, one way. Another angle, another way.

    I think the mouth open non-wet hair is better overall, I just don't like the open mouth, on most figs. They rarely look good. Always takes me out of whatever realism was going on til you get there.

    I think overall Mafex did a nice job on this figure. The head sculpts aren't great but they are recognizable. I like the Mezco One:12 better but if you can't that one this is a very decent runner up.

    Tony, spectacular photo shoot. Your stuff is always a work of art, with the use of lighting, water, etc. But how did you do the shot of the glass with the Continental logo on it? Did you Photoshop that on?

    So far the MAFEX figures I have are Gwenpool and RofJ Boba Fett. Gwenpool was pretty much perfect (she seriously looks like she stepped off the pages of Gurihiru's artwork), although I had to go through the return process more than once to find one without any glaring paint issues. Boba is also pretty much perfect and probably the best Boba figure that will ever be made at this scale, aside from the one issue he has with his gauntlet cables popping out with the greatest of ease.

    What problems did you have with Bane, exactly?

    I know it wasn't directed at me, but my Bane had extremely floppy leg, torso, and shoulder/where it connects to the torso joints.

    When he's just standing there with his coat he's perfect, but otherwise he's incredibly floppy.

    I took that image in camera, put the fig behind glass and sprayed water on the glass, etc. Lights and colors such also in camera. Edited as normal to make it pop. And then applied the Continental logo in Photoshop, reversed.

    Technically I could have printed the logo on see thru film at proper scale and applied to glass before shooting, but this was way easier

    Awesome shots Tony! Love the one with the orange lighting the best, though all of the variations look pretty amazing, especially the one with the smoke too.

    About the figure, the resemblance is pretty decent too!

    Hehe yeah, I try not to post duplicates of same pose, I usually pick the best lighting and use 1, but these had several different that worked so I broke my rules.

    Faces are better on this one, but I think DST is overall better at capturing likeness.
