    Great video! Your approach on this subject of toy collecting is what interests me the most. It’s unique, visually appealing with different use of lighting and angles, and even the slightest of humor gives this channel the character and charm it needs. I’m hooked and looking forward to more! PS- if only Deadpool made an appearance with his Vespa LOL but awesome video nonetheless

      Thank you so much for watching!! I pour all my resources into these vids to make them cool for viewers like you. You totally get it and it makes it all worth while. Looking forward to sharing more vids ! Oh, and funny, but Deadpool will be in the next vehicle vid. Maybe not on his Vespa though. Ha.

    the scale of bikes for marvel legends is 1:10

    I've gambled on a 1:12 bike and it is too small for the ML/Classifieds line. I am switching to 1:10 scale and that should be better. Better it be slightly oversized than undersized. But I think that particular scale would work much better to have figures on or standing next to it,

    • @WhysoseriousToys

      I’ve tried the 1/10 scale on 1/12 figures and the scaling is way off. Some of the bikes are way too big for 6 inch figures. There’s a lot of variation. I hope to do a video on this soon.

      @@WhysoseriousToys True. I'm experimenting with a few different brands, see how they come out. Lots of factors at play here with the figures themselves and which types of bikes would suit their size.

      @@Rakerong Yes! I think one thing a lot of collectors don't quite appreciate enough is that sometimes the vehicle is 1/12 scale but the figure is not. this is something that I would love to talk about in a video.

      Hello there. I actually purchased some bikes made specifically for 1/12 Kamen Riders. I noticed these bikes tend to be a bit smaller than other 1/12 scale bikes. On a related note, some 1/12 figures like Black Series tend to be too big for these bikes. I hope to do a video on this soon.

    Aoshima's are display pieces. Definitely not for action figure posing and/or playing. I've actually bought a couple of 1/12 motorcycle kits from Aoshima and Tamiya. They're still unbuilt and in their boxes but this is exactly what I was thinking of doing when I bought them. The finished ones are great but I liked the custom bikes more than the factory stock ones. I was also thinking that they'd be lighter than the die cast counterparts too so that'd help with the figures in the future.

    • @WhysoseriousToys
      @WhysoseriousToys  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’ve pretty much given up on Aoshima die cast. They’re cool as background pieces, at best. I haven’t taken a chance on any of the model kits but I like your reasoning. Whenever you get around to building yours I’d love to hear how they turned out. I might have to try them out myself.

      @@WhysoseriousToys For sure! If you've got any socials that would make it easier to get in touch with you once I'm able to build one of the kits. It's hard to track down replies on TH-cam when it gets burried by other notifications.

    Why are they so small i really want to buy a motorcycle for my ml cap but i cant really find any motorcycle that suitable for his size

    • @WhysoseriousToys
      @WhysoseriousToys  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah that’s a bummer. Even Maisto seems a bit small for Legends. I recently bought some bikes that I’m going to try out on Legends and other brands of figures. One brand of bike that was promising is MSZ Speed Zone 1/12 scale. Granted, it’s a racing bike so I’m not sure if the ML Cap had the head articulation for it. But the scaling was good. I plan to report on what I found soon.

    Nice video. I also have a few bikes I've found to fit different figures but I would like to suggest that you consider one important aspect: Marvel Legends or Classified figures are NOT really 1:12. They skew a bit larger. If you compare them to those naked bodies they sell for customizers, you can see the difference. Your Cobra trooper looked nice on that bike but he was a bit too big. I just fudge my photos playing around with the angles but these 1:12 bikes are awesome accessories!

    • @WhysoseriousToys
      @WhysoseriousToys  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the kind words. I considered mentioning how the Cobra trooper appears a big large in proportion to the Aoshima bike but then I did more research on this type of bike and I discovered they tend to run smaller in real life, so I was fine with it. All in all, I’m fine with the fit of Hasbro 1:12 figures on the Aoshima. Though I am aware that Hasbro Joe and Legends 1/12 figures tend to skew large. When it comes to toy bikes I’m always more concerned with the awkwardness of a figure facing downwards towards the gas tank. That’s always a dealbreaker for me! It’s getting to the point where I only want figures with good up/down head movement. Thanks for your feedback!

      The actual Hasbro produced Marvel Legends bikes always seem too big. Except for the GIJoe classified RAM, which seems a touch small. The best detailed and best scaling I have are Maisto. With the runner up being New Ray. Although New Rays scale can be inconsistent. The easiest way to tell is simply to look at the size. 1/12 scale means 1 inch = 1 foot.
