Doom – Doom Slayer Phobos Variant and Maurader by McFarlane Toys – Toyark Photo Gallery

McFarlane Doom Wave 2 Figures 030

Today I’m playing a little catch up with a few items that have been out for a bit. The second wave of Doom action figures is in stores now from McFarlane Toys. This wave features the Doom Slayer (Phobos Variant) and a Maurader. The figures are based on their appearances in the excellent Doom Eternal video game. The Doom Slayer includes a shotgun and an arm blade. The Marauder includes an axe. Our friends at McFarlane Toys sent these over for review. After the jump you can check out the new photo gallery and my thoughts on the figures.

Doom Eternal – Doom Slayer Phobos Variant and Maurader 7″ Scale Figures by McFarlane Toys

Pros

  • Excellent sculpts
  • Good paint application
  • Marauder has really solid articulation

Cons

  • Doom Slayer could definitely use better leg and arm articulation
  • Both could use some additional accessories

Overall
With these figures having been out for a bit, there’s probably not a lot to add. The packaging is pretty basic, and in-line with the current McFarlane Toys window boxes. Each sits in a plastic tray. The sculpt work is excellent on both figures, especially the Maurauder. There’s nice intricate armor work, varying textures throughout, and plenty of details to appreciate. The figures both look game accurate.

The Doom slayer has a Super Shotgun with the Meat Hook attachment, and a removable Doomblade for his left arm. The figure stands about 7″ tall, and has an ok amount of articulation. But the figure definitely needs updated arm and leg articulation if they do another release. The arms only have single jointed elbows, and no swivels. This prevents the figure from holding the shotgun properly or getting any real dynamic poses going. Thigh swivels would also be pretty useful. Paint apps are great, and the golden Phobos armor looks excellent. The metallic shine looks fantastic in person. The Maurader is a very solid overall figure. The figure includes his massive axe accessory. The figure stands a little taller than the Doom Slayer, thanks to the horns protruding from its head. The articulation is a step up compared to the Doom Slayer, as he has swivels built in at the elbows allowing him to hold his axe with both hands. The Maurader is an imposing looking figure with large heavy armor pieces throughout. In the game, he does have a shotgun and shield, which are not included here.

These figures are decent shelf additions overall. With a few more accessories and some better implemented articulation they would be absolute must buys. As is, fans looking for Doom figures should be mostly pleased with these. Check out some select photos below, and the full gallery after that.

    Had to been a complete bummer doing this photo shoot, as it's impossible to get anything even remotely resembling a dynamic pose out of the Doom Slayer figure.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to FINALLY have a Doom figure. I just wish it was...better. A lot better.

    Man, Storm Collectibles making Doom figures would be a match made in heaven.

    While I’m dreaming, I’d also love a Wolfenstein line. I’d kill for any fig of BJ Blazkowicz

    I like the Marauder a lot more than the Doom Slayer. Though, the Marauder is probably the last character from Doom I think should have gotten a figure this early on. I’m really surprised he didn’t go for Samuel Hayden. The Doom Slayer “looks” great, but definitely want something with better range of motion.

    Hopefully, Storm Collectibles snags the Doom license so they can make a better Doom Slayer.

    Been on the fence on these, mainly since the Doom Slayer is the same as the standard and that looked like a good one. May just pick them up soon as Birthday presents to myself this month

    How? I think they look great even if i'm not a fan of the gold choice for Doom Guy/Slayer.

    Don’t get me wrong, aesthetically, they do look great, however articulation wise they suck monkey scrotes. You cant hardly put them In any kind of dynamic or even Semi-dynamic posing.
