Thanks for the review Anthony. I really don't mind the re-paints as long as the product is an upgrade for the existing one. Understanding that collectors that missed out on the older one, get to take advantage of an upgraded figure. When the product is a re-release of a BAF being charged as a Deluxe with little or no upgrade, it doesn't appeal to me, even if I had the BAF.
I believe Paul Harding did these headsculpts and they are a fair approximation of the Todd McFarlane Fixit art. I have a copy and I think they’re really well done.
Thank you. SUCH a necessary upgrade, although an economical one, with it being primarily new head sculpts and the tommy gun accessory, along with a repaint. Repaint is good, and for me, definitely good enough that it's appealing. The lack of articulation is the hardest thing for me still. But hey. it's the correct grey!
It looks pretty good apart from the negatives Anthony mentioned. I liked his look with the white dress gloves and black and white shoes. Much better than the baf.
So you know how people keep saying that Marvel Legends are more expensive because of the license? Most likely, it's a non factor. It varies on the deal between the manufacturer and licensees, but most of the time the manufacturer pays a large sum to be able to use the license in a certain way, and depending on the deal/license, the licensee may get a SMALL percentage of each figure sale. Most likely, Hasbro pays a large amount upfront, and Marvel may get 1 or two dollars per figure sold. For a company like hasbro, who mass produces figures more than any other company, the more figures sold, the CHEAPER the license becomes per figure.
Yes. Also, you sell more with a popular license... Which is why you'd want it in the first place. They keep referencing it like it's a bad thing. It's not.
I am not familiar with Joe Fixit Hulk, but can see the appeal. He has a gangster, mob boss look to him, and the stripes are rather nicely painted. Pity Hasbro did not continue to paint the stripes all the way through, however. We have a store similar in the UK to your Wal-Mart-Asda. Though I am not positive that we will get this figure in-store; I might have to order it. But then again, there are much better Hulk figures out there. The Grey Hulk in that 2-pack you reviewed was better than this one. Thank you for sharing, Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧
@@jorlox77, apologies, dear boy, as I only now saw your comment. To answer your question - indeed I am a doctor; I am a primary care physician in London, England. Jolly good! Hope this answers your curious enquiry. Have a lovely day!
I got mine for less than 20 bucks at Ollie's. Glad I played the wait game on him. Reminds me of early McFarlane figures that were pre posed with limited articulation more or less
The sculpt is fairly accurate to some representations of fixit, but oddly enough they chose a different one to put on the box lmao. I actually like the shiny suit- I think it makes it look like a nice silk pinstripe and fits with his Vegas/ gangster aesthetic. What I don’t like is his skin having the exact same sheen. What reason was there for not giving him a matte flesh tone? Would it have even cost anymore at all?
Guaranteed this head was sculpted by the same guy who always sculpts the eyes too far apart. However, there was at least one artist back in the day that drew th8s chatacter with super wide-set eyes, so there's a precedent in this case.
I believe this is still sculpted by Paul Harding and he never did that (least from my experience). He sculpted 20th cap, hulk, Iron Man, dr strange, gray Hulk etc
I know marvel Legends is strictly plastic. But. It’s a shame they didn’t give him a cloth style material for his clothing, to aid With articulation. He’s a good ornament for the character on a shelf. Couldn’t place his face, then when you mentioned the eyes being so far apart… it hit m… E.T….!
He would have been better with painted glove hand (white) I'll probably do that with mine makes me laugh how you go on about the proportion of a particular character remember these are a comic book figure not real life I still hold those toy biz Joe fixit hulk as the best one.
i have zero clue abt Joe Fix it at all but i like the look of it although it being a BAF re-release maintaining those easily popping off legs does makes it a very disappointing attribute.
Joe would need a custom-built gun, but the barrel would be the same. Otherwise, he’d also need custom ammunition. Hasbro needs to remember that they can actually stop and take some pride before releasing these figures
One thing you didn’t mention is the gap between the arms and the suit…seeing the white shirt underneath in the arm pit area is ugly as hell. I would say they could have at least painted that part of the shirt to match the suit but this is Hasbro we’re talking about so obviously that’s way too much to ask. Hasbro will Hasbro.
Q of the Day: I don’t mind the re-release. How else is Hasbro going to make money on this line? With new characters, new tooling, improved paint decos, and more accessories? Good Lord, we’re already paying close to $30 after sales taxes for a standard figure. We don’t need that number to double or triple.
I think you're confused. Hasbro needs to make money? Everything they release is a reused body with no paint or accessories and they're charging more than every other brand.
@@AnthonysCustoms I was being sarcastic. God forbid they actually put real and consistent effort into this line. It would cut too deeply into what they consider to be an acceptable profit margin. Instead of cutting corners and raising prices on their toys, maybe they should be cutting general and administrative costs and lowering their overhead.
They are going to rerelease this figure in a white suite with patch Wolverine. I think this would look good sitting on a shelf, but he wouldn't be able to pose worth nothing. I don't have an attachment to Joe Fix it Hulk. So I will give this a pass.
Cool that they do the neck barbell correctly on this guy with hindered neck range, then wrong on 90% of the actual action characters, nice job Legends team.
your package is a bit wrinkly anthony
Everyone's is😮
literally just got mine in the mail 2 hours ago
was very pleasantly surprised to see that you uploaded a review. thanks
That’s the Joe Fixit we should’ve got in the first place. Not that poor excuse of a baf from the avengers game.

Good call. Todd did draw gray Hulk's eyes super far apart.
Dang it, that eye gap is the bane of my existence. Out of all the crappy figures they released, it happened to Hulk 🤦♂️
It’s accurate to how McFarlane drew him
Pro tip if u want to remove the semi gloss look the use matt top coat I use it for my gunpla
What kinda rounds would be be firing with that size of fun? Anti aircraft?
40mm grenade

I'm not 100% sure, but are you a doctor?

I heard a rumor that ML could be charging $30.00 soon. How would you feel about a repaint of a 10+ year old buck being $30.00 🤔?
Imho, it Better come with 3 head, 10 hands & exquisite paint job lol
The line will die
@@AnthonysCustomsIf that's the case, I hope they raise the price to $40

He has E.T. The Extraterrestrial’s head….
Hulk agiota
Surprised you didn't mention the ungodly gaps between the jacket and under arms.
It's necessary for the arms to come down far enough
@@AnthonysCustoms Yeah bullshit. Jada Toys makes figures with suits and they don't have that ungodly gap.
well... Jada wasn't making a Hulk with small shoulders.
@@AnthonysCustoms Yeah you're right, Jada would have used the appropriate sized shoulders to begin with.
I give the gun to other characters I have that Hasbro didn’t bother giving them 😂
Just waiting for mine to ship. They should have made the tie red and had the shoes have the white paint.

I didn't get the Joe Fixit BAF, so this is a must get.
If they make the exclusive easy to get and reasonably priced then I’m fine with exclusives.

@@GamingMafia_id you know what? You're totally right and I stand corrected. It's not the sculptor I was thinking of.
I don't know, Hulk with a gun makes about as much sense as Wolverine with a knife.
Wolvie likes to have a knife for buttering his bread and another for whittling.😁
The face reminds me of the Halo brute meme, even though it looks nothing like it.
Was just about to order the figure but now having second thoughts , those eyes do look to far apartment
Wowwwwww 5/10 I was looking forward to this figure so much man
I mean, you can still get it. Form your own opinions, Anthony’s word isn’t god
@@saiyanjd1107 I didn’t know I was allowed to 😂 I am still getting it, the eye thing being back is annoying as hell though.
Kinda wonder what caliber that giant gun is chambered in
Oversized 45. acp😅
Hulk as always been my favorite marvel character but I like the savage hulk smash hulk ,not smooth operator hulk .
It's mob enforcer Hulk
I know what it is buddy ,just not my style that’s all @@vilebasterd5729
I only ever want a hulk with butterfly joints. I’ll be passing on this one
I hate exclusives in general. I get why they exist but from a consumer perspective Im against them in principle
I know marvel Legends is strictly plastic.
But.
It’s a shame they didn’t give him a cloth style material for his clothing, to aid With articulation.
He’s a good ornament for the character on a shelf.
Couldn’t place his face, then when you mentioned the eyes being so far apart… it hit m… E.T….!
His eyes are in different time zones.
I hope they eventually rerelease the vemonpool baf that figure was awesome.
Would someone be kind enough to explain to me why these larger figures only have single jointed elbows and knees?
Cost cutting
@@AnthonysCustoms More plastic for the extra joints? Thought so.
Ant, what are your thoughts on the SH Figuarts Kaido and are you gonna get it?
Looks good.
He would have been better with painted glove hand (white) I'll probably do that with mine makes me laugh how you go on about the proportion of a particular character remember these are a comic book figure not real life I still hold those toy biz Joe fixit hulk as the best one.
They're not wrong in the comics...

He could be using 50 caliber rounds for his tommy gun?
👍
Snarl face reminds me of the bad guy in the mask
This Hulk is awesome,never had the og baf but this thing is massive!
His face look like Zack Snyder’s Doomsday

Hasbro cant do a suited figure unfortunately, at least if the fig wasnt so shiny. The rose figure comes to mind.
Brawl with kingpin
It feels dirty, it’s close enough that it seems they had this in mind when they released the first one.

Gonna assume 6 arm Spidey and Bucky cap is next
he aint buying that 2 pack
@@user-qe5cr2eg5nthat didn't stop him from buying recent marvel legends figures
for some of them, yes it has
I'm not buying that garbage Spider-Man.
I think it's kinda cool, tired of repaints though.

Can I send you my P.O. Box and all these figures you don’t like you could just send my way?
This line has turned into complete garbage.
Too much corner cutting.
He's wayy to shiny because its made out of plastic 🤦
Tell me you don't know about action figure production without telling me you don't know about action figure production.
Did anyone else run their finger from their mouth to their eyes, or am I just dumb?? 😅
He's neat, but also kind of boring.
