Select takes the cake here, one of the powers of Apocalypse is, he can change the height. He looks more powerful, if he upscale the other villains in the display.
Select is definitely the better figure but i overall much prefer the Retro card just cuz of the colors. The purple just adds a nice contrast with the blues
I made that kitbash. Also dyed and airbrushed the select body to make it more X-Factor Apocalypse like. I love how it towers above the other legends figures but with the darker colorscheme it makes for a sinister presence.
Wow, you said this one's been coming, and now was the perfect time! Growing up I had the 9" projector figure Apocalypse with the mace-handed arm, but for the longest time had that 10" old-school version you showed on my shelf. The Select one wasn't quite as big but otherwise I've ADORED having such an intricately-designed version of En Sabah Nur, and the head sculpt never bothered me. And kudos for the old Toybiz Nightcrawler too. That's also been my go-to Kurt for a very long time. Would LOVE to see a versus video for Nightcrawler AND Colossus.
There's something about Gorillapocolypse I really like. Ever since I first laid eyes on it in Glen Webb's evolution videos of him, there was something about it I always loved.
I got Select for less than any Legends version and it’s great. The height and details alone clinches it, but the articulation is better than I expected.
Thanks for the tip, I would like the taller Marvel Select mainly for the accessories, I own the Blue Metallic 2018 build a figure with the claw, and love it, but it did cost me 120 US total, I do like the extra stuff on the Retro card version and like the face a bit more, possibly the paint ? I should just be satisfied with the one I got. But I am tempted to get another version.
Thank you for the kind words. As far as my voice, can you be more specific? Like, is it the volume? My energy? Pitch? If there is something I can work on, I want to be better.
Picked up the retro carded marvel legends Apocalypse just recently, Zero regrets. To me he's the truest representation of the character especially when looking at the comics and the animated series rendition of him.
It came down to the two I have and I cant decide. I love the retro for my animated display but really like select as well, it does look more like an MCU version though but its a good figure.
I still love the ToyBiz BAF. I also really enjoyed the earlier 90s 5" ToyBiz 7POA Apocalypse that came with a claw and a missle launcher (2nd edition) and the 10" version. They knocked the sculpt and proportions out of the park for some of those early ToyBiz figures. Although the V1 Apocalypse and Magneto were incredibly goofy.
I've seen only two reviews of select apocalypse and both of those reviews his metal tubes unplugged in the articulation segment, does his tubes pop off regularly? And does the retro apocalypse looks good with archangel claws? I think he might since his arm cannon is almost the same color as the claw
Retro carded...pretty easy pick fir me. Is loved the select but when I got the retro... Much better.. And picked up a second 1 for 25 bucks at big bad toy store sale.
I just recently picked up Marvel Selects Venom/Madness Venom, and I totally blame you for the fact I'm hunting down Spectacular Spidey and now this Apocalypse.
A Versus on Colossus would be fun. There's a toybiz version of him that is practically a myth at this point cuz I haven't seen any reviewer mention/bring them up for comparisons.
I can't wait for you to review the page punchers ghosts of krypton superman with detachable armor and superman blue figures Jason but also soon enough I hoped you review the our worlds at war superman Ed mcguinnis figure (based on a specific storyline not be confused with he future state version).
I wish BAF and Animated had the height of Select. :( I bought Animated online. Waiting on it to arrive. I went to antique mall yesterday, boom, there on the shelf... Select. I saw his height in person. 😮 I had to buy it. Lol. So now I'll have 2. Maybe I'll swap the head like you showed us, or buy a spare loose from ebay.
I like the select body with the retrocard head as the ideal figure. then you still have an alternate head with legends body for an animated version... best of both worlds B-)
I hate the head on the select, so I guess that means retro. They are getting better with their releases though, so if you wait eventually they will give an almost perfect one.
If it was me and it wasn't mentioned in the items description I'd be getting my money back for what happened with the Toy biz Apocalypse, they should mention stuff like that in the description
I have the BAF version, and I think it's the perfect Apocalypse. I wouldn't trade him for any of the others. The Retro version is to cartoonish and flat looking. The Marvel Select is too gangly and thin. (I like my Apocalypses swole). And the ToyBiz, it's way too outdated. So for me personally the clear winner is the BAF. But that's just my 2-cents.
To be honest, I've never really liked any of these figures except the select one. Apocalypse is a very intelligent and emposing character, but when it comes to the toybiz and hasbro offerings, they're way too small and have the proportions of a generic brute/goon. The head is too big, and the Hasbro has the best head sculpt overall, but he doesn't feel too chunky to me.

True!
Can’t wait for the Nightcrawler vs! He’s always been my favorite X-Men as well. Great video as always!
Thank you! Gonna be a couple three weeks at least before I get to it, but it's coming!
Select is definitely the better figure but i overall much prefer the Retro card just cuz of the colors. The purple just adds a nice contrast with the blues
It really does
Select isn't better, that head is awful, the neck looks odd. A few hand accessories don't a good figure make.
yes I agree, and I’m glad I have one 😊
Retro card all the way. It looks like the cartoon, comics and animated series! 💙💙💙
For sure!
I saw a guy on reddit kitbash the toybiz head on the select head and ML hands. Actual perfection
Hmm, interesting
I made that kitbash. Also dyed and airbrushed the select body to make it more X-Factor Apocalypse like. I love how it towers above the other legends figures but with the darker colorscheme it makes for a sinister presence.
Select also looks great with the animated version head

Timing is my superpower lol

One of Glenn's best videos
Retro Apocalypse is my personal favourite. Tempted to pick him up and paint the purple grey in order to make him look all Marvel Vs. Capcom-y though.
Excellent video. I prefer the BAF though.
It's a good one!
Whenever you get to the Nightcrawler from X-Men 97, I NEED to see if the 2019 headsculpts look good on the 97 figure
You know it
9:26 that image is burned into my head. i like select the best but the eyes on it look sort of goofy. Maybe when I get it i'll paint them red.
I got Select for less than any Legends version and it’s great. The height and details alone clinches it, but the articulation is better than I expected.
Thank you so much for the versus!
You're so welcome!
I was thinking about what to buy and the reviews helped me a lot. Thank you!
You're so welcome! That's what it's all about
AOA Apocalypse for me. It's one of my absolute favorite action figures ever.
Since you didn't include it, Retro Card is my favorite of the video.
Yes! One I really wanted to see with this exact group
When Select gets it right there's nothing better.
True!

The struggle of being a collector is the ongoing desire to upgrade, I totally understand
always great quality visuals here from jason but guy I can't handle your voice xD

@@5POAFigureReviewsvolume. Otherwise love your content. Even if you kept it the same your growing and do great.
Every time I see that retro one i want it ❤😂
Hope you can get one!

Yeah, if I could only ever own one Apocalypse, it would be the Toy Biz BAF

I put retro card in my display. Looks great with the X-Men '97!
Oh yeah it's a great match!
Marvel Select all the way.
I own the Select version and it's a fantastic figure for a Marvel vs. Capcom display.
I bet!

I will happily shoulder the blame for that lol
@@5POAFigureReviewsIk u do a lot of comparisons, but would u say to grab Select Spidey for a mixed display or is he just too tall?
With Xmen 97 being white hot right now. I prefer retro Apac. Falls in line with with xmen mafex figs aswell.
Totally understandable! Like I said, if your collection skews more animated it's perfect for that.
A Versus on Colossus would be fun. There's a toybiz version of him that is practically a myth at this point cuz I haven't seen any reviewer mention/bring them up for comparisons.
I know the one. I have it. And it will be in the Versus ;-)
I can't wait for you to review the page punchers ghosts of krypton superman with detachable armor and superman blue figures Jason but also soon enough I hoped you review the our worlds at war superman Ed mcguinnis figure (based on a specific storyline not be confused with he future state version).
Page Punchers Superman will be a huge video, coming Sunday next week. It will feature head swaps, the armor on other Superman figures, and more!
@@5POAFigureReviews okay and plz do not forget superman blue from the same plastic man wave too

True!
I want the retro card one!
I hope you can get one!
You should take pictures of them with marvel universe xmen. Same if you have a hazlab sentinel. Hazlab Galactus and any universe figures ❤
I don't have many Marvel Universe figures, but I have a few. That's a fun idea!
Hey Jason if u want I could send u my toy biz apocalypse he’s just missing one tube thing and dw his leg is still attached and is working
That's so kind! But not necessary. Once I am done with any videos I plan on doing with this one, I'm not worried about keeping him.
I hate the head on the select, so I guess that means retro. They are getting better with their releases though, so if you wait eventually they will give an almost perfect one.
Select 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have um al but the big one, baf, is the best.
You should do this for Spider-Man
Been planning on that one for a long time now
Try swapping the retro apocalypse head to the select body.
Have! And it's great
The baf is hard to beat but marvel select is #1 for me because of the accessories .
Agreed
#1 Select
#2 BAF
#3 Animated
#4 Toy-Biz
Retro Hands down The face Sculpts alone Beat all The rest
It's a great one
Retro all the way! It looks waaaay better in hand.
It's a great one!
I like Juggernaut & Apocalypse my two fave characters of all time..
Hope you also got to see my Juggernaut Versus then!
Did you hold his thigh when you tried to bend the knee? That break seemed unnecessary and it happened more than once.
3:30 what is this one?
That was from an assortment called Missile Flyers
@@5POAFigureReviews thank you
Correction! ☝️🧐 that's a Mace not a morning star. A morning star has to have the chain attached. The ole ball-n-chain with spikes.
Ah you're right. I always get those mixed up
Colossus vs., please!
I think that can be arranged!
If it was me and it wasn't mentioned in the items description I'd be getting my money back for what happened with the Toy biz Apocalypse, they should mention stuff like that in the description
Unfortunately, I've had it for about a year now, so that ship has sailed
@@5POAFigureReviews ah I see
I want the retro card!
I hope you can nab one!
Retro all day for me
It's a good one!
To me the Retro Card looks way better than the Select version. Just to my liking.
Totally get it!
LMAO your jokes are so corny!!🤣I love it!👍🤣
Lol thank you

The BAF is fantastic! I am glad for options, but it if was all we ever had, it would be enough
The 2018 apocalpyse baf is still the goat.
It's a great one!
I got the diamond select in box for $22… good deal or jipped? Lol
I'd say that's a great deal, sir! lol
Select one is the best, but even better with one of the heads from the retrocard one. His head is way to big imo.
Agreed
Head swap the retro card with the select and you have your main display Apoc.
Toybiz BAF
“I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash upon me and be broken!"
- Apocalypse
Such a good quote
Marvel select looks like you ripped him right outta the movie if they ever truly designed him on screen 🔥🔥🔥
For real
The best apocalypse is the one you have at home
Maybe the real Apocalypse is the friends we made along with way

I totally get where you're coming from
Retro
5:15 - 5:17 😂😂😂😂
Lol thank you
Rogue 😅
Toybiz baf
If I could only ever own one Apocalypse figure, that would be the one!
Select is horrible
Atrocious portrait proportions an articulation
The retro an bar are superior
I went with 10 inch marvel universe figures
Having the claw not being able to clamp on the Select makes it feel useless ngl
I can see that
