The new ones blow the originals out the water. Ronan is based off a Colossus buck so he's going to be appropriately sized and Blob looks massive and clean, can't wait to get them!
I might get the Blob because I picture him with his open mouth and holding/grasping hands, looking like he's getting ready to take a bite out of Wolverine.
This upgrade Ronan the Accuser is a major must have. His cosmi-rod can be held by both hands as it should be. His look is accurate to the look of the Jack Kirby comic look. Nice. I'll stick with the 2007 Blob action figure. He suppose to be grotesque in my opinion.
Thanks for your video Soulkeever. The Blob looks very similar to what they are doing with Terrrax - updating the product. I have the OG and really don't see anything with the rendition that would convince me to buy the new Blob. Unless there was more under boobage.
As much as I'd like the legs to have ridges on Ronan, I'm decently happy with it. I assume the shoulder pads are gonna be executed the same as rhe movie figure ie connected to the hood. I'm right there with Blackheart. I kept thinking they could reuse the Venom movie figure with new feet, head, and a tail but I forget how spikey he is in the comics. He's smooth bodied in the video games. I'll be getting a Spawn Plague to make a custom and hold me over until then.
@@SoulKeever Thanks for the clarification. Maybe im in thr minority but i do miss the articulated hands and balljoints. Those felt like toybiz trademarks imo.
The new Ronan version seems closer to the vintage costume I remember. The old baf was hard to complete back in the day. They used to sell a ton of kos on ebay. The new blob is a good alternative to the omd bag which horribly over priced. I bet those prices will come down when it is released too.
Honestly, it's down to ,I would say, it better have a nice amount of articulation and a really nice paint job. I mean, he is a newer villain but c'mon Hasbro ,we know that it is possible for your team to do good figures. . I really wanna see it. I'm not a huge fan of mephisto Blackheart etc mind you but, they could really nail this one 🔥
Apocalypse is 8in tall no? Need some bigger X-Men!! I want to know if Ronan is going to be able to lift his arms above his head with those shoulder pads.
Now I am excited to get a Ronan since I don't have the first one (baf) or the MCU version where his head couldn'ove without his shoulder pads moving with it and he looks small and weak. Having said that, I was immediately disappointed when I saw he was on the colossus body like the AOG Sabertooth! I'm not sure if he should be that tall!?! Someone let me know. But, he looks really good as long as his chest details are sculpt and not paint and I am not happy with reuse gauntlets cause they dont match. If he is a normal release then I will get him as we probably won't get another for at least four or more years, if he is a deluxe.... I'm not quite sure he is worth deluxe pricing being a reuse body
The Blob's OK. It's good to have the opportunity to get this character without paying for the secondary market. I have been hoping for an updated Ronan the Accuser figure for some time now. However, this design didn't really impress me that much. It's too cubic. However, the BAF had it's problems as well. Design wise it was a better looking figure.
I didnt want the MCU Ronan because the arnour sucked. But I definitely want this proper Accuser armour version. He looks awesome, like he did in Operation Galactic Storm.

Some aspects of Ronan here are actually pretty accurate to his appearance in the Contest of Champions game.
Good to see someone else noticed
I noticed that too

We need a classic ironfist figure and a WW2 Bucky Barnes
More excited for the blob as it’s one of my favorite members of the brotherhood of mutants

Deluxe sabertooth, and deluxe Abomination, I love the marvel select versions

Both figures look great. I’ll buy both
Correct me if im wrong, but when hasbro took over, didnt they use pre existing toy biz designs that didnt see production yet because of the change?
Yes

If I ever feel inclined sometime in the future, maybe I'll go back and try collecting a few of these early Hasbro waves

Is it just me, or did Hasbro sculpt the Blob to look like John "Uncle Buck" Candy?
Oh I noticed. Nothing but win there

Ronan is billed around 6'7 to 7'5, so he's in the ballpark size-wise
New Ronan definitely looks better imo. Old one is too outdated.
Yes on the Blob, pass on Ronan. Def a miss on not having the smiling/laughing face. Hoping for X-men 90's cartoon Toad
