- Shout out to stillfigurineout. Another TH-camr that is very knowledgeable in marvel legends knockoffs. I did a lot of research, but his videos were amping my favorite and most straightforward and honest.
As a casual MARVEL Legends collector, this bootleg looks just fine to me. The joints loosen over time on just about any official release so that doesn’t bother me, the cell shading is an acquired taste but I’ve come to appreciate it and to my novice Legends eye it looks about perfect. Thanks for the in depth review as always
That’s true man. It happens to all figures at some point. And yea the cell shading can look weird sometimes. But I do like it sometimes. One example is the marvel legends vhs storm, she has some black cell shading but it just makes it look more like the animated series. More comic-ish. Just depends I reckon!
Thank you for watching and giving your thoughts as always!

You know it man. I’m so happy to see some in depth reviews of bootlegs. Im loving the retro Spiderman card backs, and I love buying two (one to open) so this could be a great option as the opener. ( keep the authentic release mint on card)- oooh I just cracked the code moving forward
@@hyperdrivecollections6460 they are really awesome! Visually appealing and sturdy. The Black Series could learn something from marvel legends when it comes to cardbacks. I would love if TBS had thicker cards like ML.
Oh shit! I think you did dude! I might have to do the same!
I actually have a few doubles of Black Series figures for that exact reason lol. So I can’t judge at all. 😂😂
Shoot , looks good to be. Especially once it’s on the shelf in a pose.
Hell yea Shawn. Not bad at all for the money. I am very pleased and impressed. I definitely want other people to know about this, because I know there’s more collectors who want venom in their display. And this one is a very good representative.
Thanks for watching and commenting Shawn. I appreciate ya!
you apply transparent nail polish on the loose joints , they will get stiffer (i have the same neca tmnt bootleg i used this trick
on them)
That’s definitely a cheaper alternative to some of the “branded” joint fixer options. Il definitely give that a try.
Thanks for checking out my video!
I took a risk and ordered a black suit Spiderman, but if it's as good of a ko as this guy, I don't think I'll be upset if all if it is fake. I have so many official MLs that I don't feel bad about having a KO in the crew. Heck I think a lot of the KOs may even come from the same factory.
Hell yea. Symbiote Spider-Man is such a dope costume. I have the actual ML version but was thinking about picking up the KO to do a side by side comparison video. The KOs of black suit spidey iv seen look pretty decent.
I’m sure you’re right. I’m sure there are plenty of bootlegs that come from the same exact facility the legit ones are made. A lot of the times they won’t try to resell messed up packaging, figures with a lot of missing paint, ect. There’s plenty of authentic versions from different lines that even have QC issues.
Iv had a lot of people suggest the juggernaut and hulk KOs as well. Thinking I may pick them up also. I need a juggernaut for my X-Men shelf BAD! And honestly the hulks they have looks pretty good too.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The support is truly appreciated!
@@TheStonedMandalorian I'll be keeping an eye out for some videos like that if you're able to make them! The only KO I have hands on experience with is an Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech Venom that.... is like 85% of the way there, but loose in a few joints in ways that I can't figure out how to tighten up. He's also very clearly a KO as he's a flat navy instead of the slightly metallic purple the real one is. I shot a video on him eons ago that I should probably re-do. The Spider-Man I ordered I honestly have no idea if it's a KO or not, as it's from Ebay. I know I've bought a few figures on there before that seemed too good to be true but.... were actually true, so we'll see what happens. lol
@@ArcNeoMasato that revoltech venom is such a great looking figure! At some point or another all figures are gonna loosen up over time anyways. As long as it doesn’t affect it from being possible, no biggy.
Il have to check out your channel and look for that one. I’d be interested in watching that. You should totally do a new one too tho! Il check it out for sure!
@@TheStonedMandalorian For this guy it sadly does limit how well he poses, since he's a VERY topheavy figure, and it's the torso joint that's loose, and it's one of those weird Revoltech ratchet joints, but.... worse. lol I know I COULD get replacement joints from the official company and change it out, but a baggy of those joints costs more than the figure did, almost double. lol
@@ArcNeoMasato lol damn well that’s a bummer. Now you just need to set him up against a wall or part of your shelf or something. The ratchet joints are nice but once they wear out they are floppy lol.
And whoa really?? That’s wild. I’m not knowledgeable on other import brands but I still dig them. But I had no idea the replacement parts (which is dope you can get) are just as pricey as the figures themselves. 👀👀
Looks awesome next to hob goblin and spidey
It does doesn’t it?! Scales very well. Thanks for watching and commenting will. I appreciate it!
@@TheStonedMandalorian no problems :D they do scale accurately to the show it would seem!
Mr Cody I know you’ve posted your tiktoks before but I wonder are there other places to follow your socials.
I do not have any other socials at the moment my friend. But o was thinking about starting up an instagram. But right now just TH-cam and TikTok. Thank you for watching and checking out my other videos. I hope you enjoyed them.
I have the original I wouldn't be able to tell the difference
That’s good to know Daryl. I would love to get the official version one day just to do a side by side. Perhaps one day when I find him for a decent-ish price. But for now he’s a great placeholder!
Thanks for watching and commenting. The support is very appreciated!
