The catch for Indian collectors? MAFEX figures aren't stocked by most Indian retailers, pre-order windows are tight, and customs duties push prices well above global retail. This calendar breaks down every confirmed 2026 MAFEX release with realistic India pricing, so you can plan your budget and pre-orders months in advance.
How MAFEX Pricing Works in India
Before we hit the calendar, let's establish the pricing framework. MAFEX figures retail between ¥9,800–¥15,400 in Japan ($65–$135 internationally). Here's what you'll actually pay in India:
- Japan retail (via AmiAmi, HLJ): ¥9,800–¥15,400
- International retail (via BBTS, Entertainment Earth): $90–$135
- International shipping to India: ₹1,500–₹3,500
- Indian customs (HSN 9503, ~1.95x on CIF value): Adds roughly 95% to declared value
- Total India landed price: ₹10,000–₹18,000 per figure
Pro tip: The cheapest route is pre-ordering from Japanese retailers (AmiAmi offers the best base price) and shipping via surface mail (slower but cheaper). The fastest route is BigBadToyStore or Entertainment Earth with DHL — you'll pay more but get it in a week. For a full comparison of import methods, check our import guide.
Q1 2026 (January–March): Already Released or Shipping
MAFEX Gambit — X-Men Comics Version (No. 289)
Shipped: March 2026 | Retail: $134.99 | India estimate: ₹14,000–₹18,000
The Ragin' Cajun in his classic Jim Lee-era costume. This is a 6.3-inch figure with two head sculpts (masked and unmasked), interchangeable hands, telescoping bo-staff, and charged playing card effect parts — including a beautiful translucent kinetic energy card spread. The fabric duster coat is a standout — it drapes naturally and doesn't restrict articulation.
Collector verdict: One of the best X-Men figures at any scale. If you missed the pre-order window, secondary prices are holding close to retail for now.
MAFEX BZRKR Berzerker (No. 279)
Shipping: April 2026 | Retail: $134.99 | India estimate: ₹14,000–₹18,000
Based on Keanu Reeves' comic book character. Niche but interesting — the sculpt is brutal and dynamic.
Q2 2026 (April–June): The Suicide Squad Wave
MAFEX Bloodsport — The Suicide Squad (No. 290)
Shipping: Q2 2026 | Retail: ~$110–$135 | India estimate: ₹12,000–₹16,000
Idris Elba's Bloodsport from James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. The helmet design and weaponry translate perfectly to the MAFEX format. Includes multiple weapons and swappable hands.
MAFEX Peacemaker — The Suicide Squad (No. 298)
Shipping: Q2 2026 | Retail: ~$110–$135 | India estimate: ₹12,000–₹16,000
John Cena's chrome-helmeted patriot. The helmet's reflective finish is a MAFEX strength — their metallic paint applications are consistently excellent. Pairs perfectly with Bloodsport for display.
Q3 2026 (July–September): The Heavy Hitters
MAFEX Brown Suit Wolverine — Deadpool & Wolverine (No. 297)
Shipping: Q3 2026 | Retail: ~$125–$135 | India estimate: ₹13,000–₹17,000
Hugh Jackman's brown suit Wolverine from the Deadpool & Wolverine film. This is going to be one of 2026's most sought-after figures. MAFEX's track record with Wolverine sculpts is impeccable, and the brown suit is a fan favourite design. Expect unmasked and masked head sculpts, extended claws, and dynamic action hands.
Pre-order alert: This will sell out. If you want one at retail, pre-order the moment it goes live on AmiAmi or HLJ. Do not wait.
MAFEX Gamerverse Blue Venom (No. 298)
Shipping: Q3 2026 | Retail: ~$125–$135 | India estimate: ₹13,000–₹17,000
A video game-inspired Venom in blue colourway. MAFEX Venom figures are known for their mass and heft — these are chunky, satisfying figures that command shelf presence.
MAFEX Battle-Damaged Batman — Batman: Hush (No. 295)
Shipping: September 2026 | Retail: ~$110–$120 | India estimate: ₹12,000–₹16,000
The Batman: Hush MAFEX line is one of the best comic book figure lines ever produced. This battle-damaged variant features torn costume, exposed musculature, and weathering effects. If you already own MAFEX Hush Batman, Catwoman, or Superman, this is a must-have variant.
MAFEX Ra's al Ghul — Batman: Hush Version (No. 294)
Shipping: September 2026 | Retail: ~$97 | India estimate: ₹10,000–₹14,000
A shirtless Ra's al Ghul with three swappable heads and a single sword accessory. The lower price point reflects the simpler design, but MAFEX's body sculpting is at its best with exposed physique figures. One of the more affordable MAFEX options this year.
Q4 2026 (October–December): Year-End Bangers
MAFEX Queen Maeve — The Boys (No. 292)
Shipping: October 2026 | Retail: $134.99 | India estimate: ₹14,000–₹18,000
MAFEX enters The Boys universe. Queen Maeve comes with two head sculpts, extra hands, a sword, and — in a perfect detail — an iconic candy bar accessory. The costume detail and fabric elements should be excellent given MAFEX's track record with superhero suits. This opens the door for a full The Boys MAFEX line.
MAFEX Wolverine — Deadpool & Wolverine (No. 291)
Shipping: Q4 2026 | Retail: ~$125–$135 | India estimate: ₹13,000–₹17,000
A second Wolverine variant — likely the yellow suit version. Two MAFEX Wolverine figures in one year tells you how hot this IP is post-Deadpool & Wolverine. If you're picking one, the brown suit (Q3) is the rarer design, but the yellow is more iconic.
MAFEX Batman — The Flash (2023) (No. 293)
Shipping: Q4 2026 | Retail: ~$110–$135 | India estimate: ₹12,000–₹16,000
Michael Keaton's Batman from The Flash. The nostalgia appeal is strong — Keaton's Batman suit is one of the most iconic designs in superhero history.
Announced for 2027 (Pre-Orders Open in 2026)
These were revealed in March 2026 with January 2027 shipping. Pre-orders are open or opening soon:
- MAFEX Joker — Joker (2019) Movie — Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck. The face sculpt will make or break this one, and MAFEX's likeness work has been getting better. India estimate: ₹13,000–₹17,000.
- MAFEX Stealth Suit Aquaman — Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom — The black stealth suit. Sleek design that should photograph well. India estimate: ₹12,000–₹16,000.
- MAFEX Black & Gold Suit Spider-Man — No Way Home — The reversed black and gold suit. Spider-Man MAFEX figures are consistently excellent. India estimate: ₹13,000–₹17,000.
- MAFEX Wonder Woman — Justice League — Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. India estimate: ₹13,000–₹17,000.
- MAFEX Black Manta — Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom — The helmet design is going to be spectacular in MAFEX's hands. India estimate: ₹13,000–₹17,000.
How to Buy MAFEX in India: The Strategy
- Pre-order from AmiAmi (amiami.com) — Cheapest base price. They charge when the item ships, not when you order. Surface mail shipping is cheapest (2–3 months to India). EMS is faster (1–2 weeks) but 3x the shipping cost.
- HobbyLink Japan (hlj.com) — Slightly more expensive than AmiAmi but has a "Private Warehouse" feature where you can hold items and combine shipments to save on shipping costs. Great for batching multiple MAFEX pre-orders.
- BigBadToyStore (bbts.com) — US retailer that ships internationally. Prices are higher ($110–$135) but they have a "Pile of Loot" feature similar to HLJ's warehouse. Good customer service if something arrives damaged.
- Don't buy from random Indian marketplace sellers — MAFEX bootlegs exist and are getting better. If the price seems too good to be true (below ₹8,000 for a new MAFEX), it's likely a knockoff. Always buy from established channels.
MAFEX vs the Competition: Quick Comparison
Not sure if MAFEX is right for you? Here's how they stack up against alternatives available in India:
- vs SH Figuarts (₹6,500–₹12,000): Figuarts is more affordable and has better availability in India, but MAFEX wins on sculpt detail and paint quality. Read our full comparison.
- vs Hot Toys (₹25,000–₹60,000+): Hot Toys is the ultimate in movie figure realism, but at 3–5x the MAFEX price. MAFEX offers 80% of the wow factor at a fraction of the cost.
- vs Marvel Legends / DC Multiverse (₹3,000–₹6,000): Mass retail figures at much lower prices. MAFEX is worth the upgrade if you care about paint, articulation, and accessories.
The Bottom Line
2026 is a monster year for MAFEX. Brown Suit Wolverine will be the figure of the year for Marvel collectors, the Batman: Hush line continues its dominance, and Queen Maeve marks MAFEX's entry into The Boys — one of the hottest IPs in entertainment. Budget ₹12,000–₹18,000 per figure, pre-order early, and buy from established Japanese or international retailers to avoid bootlegs. Your shelf will thank you.
