DC multiverse cheap? with $19.99 I can get a marvel legends or a gunpla that has better articulation than a multiverse figure. Those multiverse figures should be $9.99 or maybe $14.99.
Venom3254 well, with all respect, the hasbro figures are all horrible compared to the ones toybiz made. The armored batman is an awesome figure compared to anything ML pull out this year.
Dash Rush what kind of drugs are you on? lol toybiz legends better than Hasbro's? Hilarious. And I hope you're kidding about that armored batman being better than the new marvel legends.
Am I the only one who doesn't find the Animated series figures a disappointment? They hit me right in nostalgia-ville! Mind you, I've kept them all in packaging....
Great Figma Bruce lee pose. I was definitely disappointed with the mafex bvs figures, mafex c3po, sideshow collectibles jawas, the latest ultimate Freddy from neca, the Mattel thundercats line but only because it was canceled...and everything captain phasma except the hot toys because it looks great in my display
I would add on with 1-->SHF black panther could give us a good claw hand, and also the unmasked headsculpt. 2--> SHF Black widow: i just feel that the skin colour and the face wasn't what I expect it could be. 3-->SHF Omegamon (2016release) for the price bring, and hip joint should have concealed the screw hole, and the cape, why not wired cape like mafex BVS series~ its clumsy to pose it and the cape paint job is rather lazy. of course these are very subjective opinions :)
Funnily, this might be the only advantage of living in Brazil, regarding action figures. Figures arrive here about 1-3 months after release, and I usually already saw enough reviews not to get what is disappointing (you being my top choice as reviewer, your reviews are my main source of information). That said, my biggest disappointment are not figures I bought. Hot toys was a big disappointment in general, since I realized that, as good as they are, all the maintenance and small issues (which seem to increase, imo, for instance, Rei's teeth, Batman's butt, Deadpool wrist and the overall rubbery fabric) makes them not worth it. My main disappointment was Comicave's lack of respect for their public. 1st deciding to skip Starboost which was already in pre-order (and later, 2 more armors), even after implying (I actually think that they stated, but I'm not sure) that they would release all House Party Protocol Armors. Then deciding that Hulkbuster would have a limited 1.500 pieces production run, considering that the figures expected to arrive in Brazil in May have not arrived yet (which will make hulkbuster impossible to get). Those were my main disappointments this year. Edit: I just remembered that I bought one figure that I was on the fence and was a disappointment, but it's an oldie: Play Arts Kai - Faora. Cheers mate, and thanks for your amazing reviews.
My least favourite figures, that I picked up, figuarts captain America and ultron, mafex first order storm trooper and the vulcanlog yugioh dark side of dimensions figures. Didn't pick anything up I thought I'd be disappointed in like the pikachu. My favourites were vah sanji, figma yugi and nendoroid Kirby
The only reason the SH MonsterArts Shin Godzilla wasn't number 1 on this list is because you don't collect Godzilla. That was truly the most disappointing figure of 2016
I really don't agree with the S.H. Figuarts Pikachu. There's no way to make a Pikachu with good articuation without messing up the sculpt a bit, which is a worthy trade in my eyes. It's the only good option for a Smash Brothers collection and it still actually looks like Pikachu.
the problem is that everything thats wrong with it isnt justified by the articulation because it is also horrible. Additionally, He is far out of scale with the other Smash characters so there is almost not reason to have this... especially now that Ash and Red are being made with properly scaled Pokemon.
I'm surprised you put the bushido batman on the list. Other than lacking some themes it's actually not a bad figure, and I particularly liked steampunk batman because of the amount of details and sculpt put into it. I thought you'd throw in the Play Arts BvS figures instead. I think those were way more disappointing than Batgirl or the timeless series
People want your opinion because you give a thoroughly knowledgeable critic of action figures, and your not afraid to speak your mind about something when it's poorly done. You have standards, you don't just say everything is cool like some other toy reviewers.So when you have an opinion it matters. When it's good enough for you , it's good enough for me.
Hey Anthony have you ever considered doing a video on the new DBZ Model kits? I got the Kid Buu one and it's a really good figure for the price, I hope you do a review on it
Awesome video and a great list Anthony. The only thing I disagree with is Steampunk Batman. All your reasoning behind having him on the list is sound but my love of the punk and his look just won't let my brain accept it LOL. As for my most disappointing figure that distinguisht award goes to the power rangers legacy thunder megazord for all of the damn Q.C. issues and poor design for the very high price point. .
I agree that Batman looks nothing like a samurai. And the cape is still super wonky. Ive never seen a samurai with a cape? I could be wrong tho, and i know its Batman and he needs a cape but still. Also, This has nothing to do with the video but do you have any good animes that you would recommend? lol
I noticed there were a lot of import figures on this list. I agree that they always are too overpriced for the US. The Mattel stuff is plastic puke. I only disagree with the TAS batman figures. I've loved what has come out and to have stuff like that now is pretty good, though I tend to cherry pick the line for the ones I really liked.
Great list! My most disappointing figure of 2016 would have to be the Figma Kiryu from the Yakuza series. In the promo shot he looked lime a more anime styled version of the character. The final paint apps and head sculpt are terrible! Almost looks like a KO of itself! Looks nothing like the character.
I barely collect figures these days but when I do, it something I'm passionate about. With that said the SH Figuarts Armored Trunks is the most disappointing figure I got last year for 2, maybe 3 reasons. 1.) why would they make the head sculpt too big to swap with the original trunks? 2.) His legs almost don't allow him to stand for some reason 3.) his best super Saiyan face is forever looking off to the side
disappointed with the line in general but the first batch of figures were acceptable given that they came from mattel. low expectations temper disappointment.
Ball joints on bat girls cape could they not be bothered to make it out of cloth and put wire round the edges . Personally would of actual looked like a cape and you could still pose it.
Well it didn't come quite as I expected, IMO PA Kai Arkham knight batman is the worst, the BVS line is also a mess, I actually like those variant figures quite a bit, but well I'm a forgiving person when it comes to figures like those... Steam punk batman looks pretty dope in my book. Anyway love your video, as always, keep up the good work :)
Ok but anyways, thanx for responding. It really means a lot to us that you spend your time giving care for the comment section. You are one of the top best figure-reviewers in TH-cam, in my opinion. Your way of reviewing, having complete white background with the spinning tool gathers all the focus on the figure and nothing else that is unrelated. Keep up with the good work, Anthony! 😎
i disagree with the batman animated series figures being some of the worst figures, the quality and paint look great to me, the articulation isnt amazing, but they display really well.
im pretty sure the new BTAS line isnt aimed at kids. 95% of my action figure collection would fall to pieces in about 30 seconds if i tried to play with the stuff like i was 8 years old again.
the line is terrible. most of the sculpts are bad. most of the paint is bad. all of the articulation is terrible. they break. they are 100% a nostalgia cash grab. only thing they have over the originals is the size.
the sculpts are perfect to me, i've got 10+ figures and none of them have broke. pretty sure it was just the first batman which no one got anyway because it was the new animated version. they are basically the only non import line i collect anymore, they shit all over sw black series and marvel legends. oh and the paint apps are pretty much perfect, same style used on wwe elite line and motu classics. MUCH better than the shitty gloss style that 90% of american toy companies use on their figs these days
Anthonys seus customs são maravilhosos, muito bons, adoraria ter alguns, mas vc deve fazer para uso pessoal... adorei seu trabalho, ja me tornei seu fã. abraços! Anthony's customs are wonderful, very good, I would love to have some, but you must do it for personal use ... I loved your work, I became your fan. hugs!
DC multiverse cheap?
with $19.99 I can get a marvel legends or a gunpla that has better articulation than a multiverse figure. Those multiverse figures should be $9.99 or maybe $14.99.
White Knight Pictures
That too
Venom3254 well, with all respect, the hasbro figures are all horrible compared to the ones toybiz made. The armored batman is an awesome figure compared to anything ML pull out this year.
WHY IS MEWTWO BLINKING ON HIS RIGHT EYE...
Dash Rush what kind of drugs are you on? lol toybiz legends better than Hasbro's? Hilarious. And I hope you're kidding about that armored batman being better than the new marvel legends.
yes
Am I the only one who doesn't find the Animated series figures a disappointment? They hit me right in nostalgia-ville! Mind you, I've kept them all in packaging....
cmbrock1 ya...I guess I just expected the articulation to be limited so I left them in the package...& the likeness to the animation makes me happy 😊
Yes u are those figures were a disappointment
Holy shit. You're the villain of Inspector Gadget!
:D
Dr. Claw!

Top 10 worst Marvel Legends of 2016
lol. nah. i think ill let that one rest
Love the negative and positive top 10's. Keep up the great work.
will do.
Disagree
You need sleep Anthony. I need sleep.
?
its probably because of the time it was posted, the video came up for me at like 2 in the morning
all of my videos go live at 3am est. i dont have to manually do it though. videos can be scheduled.
AnthonysCustoms i agree figma bruce lee is very bad
I really like how objective you are, didnt you think it was disappointing the Revoltech Deadpool
thanks. i was expecting the revoltech deadpool to be mediocre so i wasnt especially disappointed.
Video opens with cat....INSTANT LIKE!
2016 was a bad year for anyone who likes to collect figures from the DC universe. ☹️
Trumanium C 2016 is the worst yr for dc
2016 was A DISSASTER YEAR for everything. I know the feeling, bro.
Pretty much agree with your list, those PAK Batman figures look horrible though.
yep
That Mewtwo looked craaazy though 🔥
Number 1: The entire S.H. Monsterarts line this year. Except GMK Godzilla. Happy with him.
Damn. You kind of look like Dustin Diamond 💎
i really dont... at all
The DC Multiverse figures are just so awful... I liked the DKR Armored Batman but I can't say it's a great figure.
Great Figma Bruce lee pose. I was definitely disappointed with the mafex bvs figures, mafex c3po, sideshow collectibles jawas, the latest ultimate Freddy from neca, the Mattel thundercats line but only because it was canceled...and everything captain phasma except the hot toys because it looks great in my display
Honestly I don’t see why you don’t like those figures but I understand if you don’t like killer 🐊
Don't buy any of these, apart from square Enix, and then only buy if is exceptionally outstanding.
For the multiverse sample, you should have chosen the Batman figure, it was downright awful.
Did you actually say "Nobody loves the Animated Series more than me" many people could love it way more than you.
Ha! You're an evil mastermind with your cat on your lap, very appropriate. Thanks again for a great vid!
agreed with ultron prime. He's too skinny and his face kinda sad compared to revoltech one
If I ever have that Bushido Batman I would just sell the figure off and just leave the swords 😂😂
I don't agree with you on the batman figures and that ultron design looks "realistic"
I hate DC comics and the number 8 spots movie it was made of I liked the movie !?
I have the bvs superman figure and i like it a lot...yes it's a bit orange but it's ok
I would add on with
1-->SHF black panther could give us a good claw hand, and also the unmasked headsculpt.
2--> SHF Black widow: i just feel that the skin colour and the face wasn't what I expect it could be.
3-->SHF Omegamon (2016release) for the price bring, and hip joint should have concealed the screw hole, and the cape, why not wired cape like mafex BVS series~ its clumsy to pose it and the cape paint job is rather lazy.
of course these are very subjective opinions :)
those are all definitely flaws for sure

the pak MoS figures are terrible indeed
My least favourite figures, that I picked up, figuarts captain America and ultron, mafex first order storm trooper and the vulcanlog yugioh dark side of dimensions figures. Didn't pick anything up I thought I'd be disappointed in like the pikachu. My favourites were vah sanji, figma yugi and nendoroid Kirby
sanji is on his way to me :D
The only reason the SH MonsterArts Shin Godzilla wasn't number 1 on this list is because you don't collect Godzilla. That was truly the most disappointing figure of 2016
bummer.
i thought revoltech deadpool would be on your list
I really don't agree with the S.H. Figuarts Pikachu. There's no way to make a Pikachu with good articuation without messing up the sculpt a bit, which is a worthy trade in my eyes. It's the only good option for a Smash Brothers collection and it still actually looks like Pikachu.

When figuarts makes a movie Wonder Woman figure, I may die
I'm surprised you put the bushido batman on the list. Other than lacking some themes it's actually not a bad figure, and I particularly liked steampunk batman because of the amount of details and sculpt put into it. I thought you'd throw in the Play Arts BvS figures instead. I think those were way more disappointing than Batgirl or the timeless series
nope
I AGREE its a Disappointment in the DC Line of Figures; I mean What the Heck Mattel?!
They remade street shark figures?! אנונימית אנונימי

thanks for the support!
The dc multiverse series needs to learn that good vue and cheap are not the same thing
Maefex super was pretty good too! I guess just yer opinion
I thought that the Figuarts Ultron would make Number 1, But the Figma Bruce Lee is totally a good Number 1 spot.
those two were especially bad
Definitely and strongly agree with your #1 choice of Figma Bruce Lee. I have that figure and I hate it like Anakin hates Sand People.
i think its just the sand he hates.
Dude...multiverse figs aren't the best articulated but not the worst
do worst Marvel legends
The SH Figuarts Ultron sucks
Hey Anthony have you ever considered doing a video on the new DBZ Model kits? I got the Kid Buu one and it's a really good figure for the price, I hope you do a review on it
no plans. no time to build them
Damn I said on your sh figuarts ultron review that it would be number 1 most disappointing. I almost called it.
almost. figma couldnt let shf out do them though
Batgirl is this the same one from motherbase
Why all DC or Pokemon? There were pretty horrible Marvel figures this past year.
More than just the Ultron
The batgirl face looks like a man
Awesome video and a great list Anthony. The only thing I disagree with is Steampunk Batman. All your reasoning behind having him on the list is sound but my love of the punk and his look just won't let my brain accept it LOL. As for my most disappointing figure that distinguisht award goes to the power rangers legacy thunder megazord for all of the damn Q.C. issues and poor design for the very high price point.
.
i would be remiss to not make a joke about it being the thunder megazord...but i dont want to offend a good viewer like you.
AnthonysCustoms I wouldn't of been offended lol. Your all good Anthony.
I thought the play arts kai BVS figures would be in there.
they werent worse than expected
I agree that Batman looks nothing like a samurai. And the cape is still super wonky. Ive never seen a samurai with a cape? I could be wrong tho, and i know its Batman and he needs a cape but still. Also, This has nothing to do with the video but do you have any good animes that you would recommend? lol
+Searo I do. I'll be doing a video about that soon
Oh Awesome I cant wait
He's really picky his standards are really fucking high most of hose action figures are good he is just really winey
+garrett melton you're joking, right?
yeah was just b8 m8
That pikachu is awesome looking haha I duno but I wouldnt be expecting a pikachu figure to have very much articulation
it's not the limitations that are the problem. it's that he looks like a robot and doesnt even have the right look for pikachu
Oh I get you. Yea fair call. If he was cheap id get him but he probably isn't
Haven't Seen full vid but I bet ssj3 Goku Is No.1
That isn't a 2016 figure.
I don't think all dc multiverse figs are bad
+Robert Hamilton they aren't
I noticed there were a lot of import figures on this list. I agree that they always are too overpriced for the US. The Mattel stuff is plastic puke. I only disagree with the TAS batman figures.

In the promo shot he looked lime a more anime styled version of the character. The final paint apps and head sculpt are terrible! Almost looks like a KO of itself! Looks nothing like the character.
When are you doing top 10 figures of 2016?
couple weeks ago
Love your cat
THAT CAT IS SO CUTE!!!!
I barely collect figures these days but when I do, it something I'm passionate about. With that said the SH Figuarts Armored Trunks is the most disappointing figure I got last year for 2, maybe 3 reasons.
1.) why would they make the head sculpt too big to swap with the original trunks?
2.) His legs almost don't allow him to stand for some reason
3.) his best super Saiyan face is forever looking off to the side
So is the Batman and Armored Batman mafex bad figures
The only reason the dcuc super girl made it to my shelfs was bc it's the only one I have in my collection
I think we can all agree that while the PAK figures jump up in price, the overall quality has not. Which is a bit of a shame.
Mattel Halo Series!! uggghhh
disappointed with the line in general but the first batch of figures were acceptable given that they came from mattel. low expectations temper disappointment.
Can someone recommend which companies I should buy my Pokémon figures from?
You are the biggest fan of bat man animated series more than me? Hahahahaha I watched every episode since it was made every day!
Most people who watched it watched every episode...
Bro it was a joke
Ball joints on bat girls cape could they not be bothered to make it out of cloth and put wire round the edges . Personally would of actual looked like a cape and you could still pose it.
the injustice batman figure is very bad
not even close to this year
"Some people would argue that this is a good figure, but they.would.be.wrong!"
Before I watch this, I'm just gonna bet 5 bucks that there's a bunch of PA Kai figure in this list. Let's say... 3, maybe?
Well it didn't come quite as I expected, IMO PA Kai Arkham knight batman is the worst, the BVS line is also a mess, I actually like those variant figures quite a bit, but well I'm a forgiving person when it comes to figures like those... Steam punk batman looks pretty dope in my book. Anyway love your video, as always, keep up the good work :)
thanks for the continued support. youve been around since almost the beginning. i appreciate that
nice list. do you collect any 1:18 figures?
nope
awesome cat
Anthony always sounds like he is on the verge of a burp. Jokes aside, you are still, by far, the best reviewer.
Yikes!
hi AC , i was making a joke about how my Com Gordan sucks more than whats on your list
I'm surprised you didn't put play arts as whole in number 2
see my top ten list
I meant like the entire brand
Mafex Superman! I had high hopes for that one... then the DC Icons Lex Luthor ... what a terrible figure! Thanks for sharing this
it's super fun watching you bash some figures lol
That steampunk batman was worst... Way too much stuff on him and horrible design. Great video. :/ :D
Love this video :D Totally agree about DCC animated series.... I still collect some of them but absolutly not at full price.. What a wasted license :(
indeed
I don't agree with you on the batman figures and that ultron design looks "realistic"
+Zanto Delirium I wasn't talking about his design...and I didn't say anything subjective about the Batman figures.
AnthonysCustoms You say that they did a bad paintjob on ultron, but it looks fresh like in the movie.
it doesnt match the movie
Ok but anyways, thanx for responding. It really means a lot to us that you spend your time giving care for the comment section.
You are one of the top best figure-reviewers in TH-cam, in my opinion.
Your way of reviewing, having complete white background with the spinning tool gathers all the focus on the figure and nothing else that is unrelated.
Keep up with the good work, Anthony! 😎
I would love you to do this again for the end of this year
bushido batman isnt that bad
+superjam18 it is
Great Top10! I was expecting to see the PAK BVS figure line in this video. Any reasons as to why they weren't in this top 10?
they were what i expected them to be. plus, the batman figures would have been ok if not for the price.
Have you made a customizing video before?
love the vid! i totally agree with most of those figures pretty poor, with batgirl my only issue is the cape
bulbous head is bulbous :D
Points for the use of "gaudy" bravo.
do people not use that anymore? lol
AnthonysCustoms I def. use the word gaudy.
i disagree with the batman animated series figures being some of the worst figures, the quality and paint look great to me, the articulation isnt amazing, but they display really well.
well yeah, you prefer them because of nostalgia, they aren't better though
well you're wrong
im pretty sure the new BTAS line isnt aimed at kids. 95% of my action figure collection would fall to pieces in about 30 seconds if i tried to play with the stuff like i was 8 years old again.
the line is terrible. most of the sculpts are bad. most of the paint is bad. all of the articulation is terrible. they break. they are 100% a nostalgia cash grab. only thing they have over the originals is the size.
the sculpts are perfect to me, i've got 10+ figures and none of them have broke. pretty sure it was just the first batman which no one got anyway because it was the new animated version. they are basically the only non import line i collect anymore, they shit all over sw black series and marvel legends. oh and the paint apps are pretty much perfect, same style used on wwe elite line and motu classics. MUCH better than the shitty gloss style that 90% of american toy companies use on their figs these days
Was hoping for Revoltech Deadpool but I guess I wasn't expecting it to be great but but man was it baaad
yeah. low expectations tempered the disappointment
I actually really like the Bruce lee figma
Anthony, I'm a compulsive collector, but seriously you have saved me a lot of money. thank you for that.
happy to help. if you ever feel like reinvesting that saved money.. i do have a patreon page :D

would you be willing to sell the mafex dc figures
i only have armored batman and wonder woman left, but yes. id like to sell them lol
Where are you selling them and for how much will you post to the uk
AnthonysCustoms where are you selling them and will you post to UK and for how much
Revoltech Ultron FTW 😊👌
great vid as always
thanks
All im sayin is Gijoe needs to come back with 5 inch plus figures , the vehicles too.
i dont even know what youre talking about lol
Shame it wasn't all Naruto figures

I dunno, man. It's always worth upsetting Naruto fans imo. :p
