      @@cronicbear5311 eh.... I'm new to Mafex, and did pick up the new Spiderman. I did the shoulder swap, which was nerve-wracking. Triumphant Batman and DKR Superman are amazing. The only figure that has been giving me issues is the DKR Joker. If I move the waist the slightest bit, it pops off. Thankfully Amazon gave me a full refund for that one, but overall I've been happy with the ones I picked up so far .

      Agreed. If they're going to reuse over and over and over then they need to spend the money and get it right first time.

      @user-ks4lt2yx6y I'm not sure who you're referring to, but the retro carded spider man has really wonky proportions, and the Diaphragm and abcrunch combo really doesn't work, the range of the torso is worse than the regular bodies, and the dumbell joint is way too far down the neck. the renew your vows' body molds may be slightly better with it's sculpt, but still, the articulation needs simple but major improvements. and the drop-down hips need to go they're a pain in the butt to deal with, I should know I have that figure, and GI Joe Classified (their articulation is much better tho)

      its the CEO and board of director at Hasbro making all the calls, instead of addressing the issue "We sorry about QC and and try to fix it". They simply ignored the problem, instead used windowless packaging to hide the QC problems. I am sorry, but I can't support a company like this. As a buyer this is a deal breaker for me.

  • @Zombie_Trooper
    @Zombie_Trooper ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I'm 50/50. Personally I think it's silly people complain about body sculpt. There's only so many ways you can design the muscular form, ask any actual artist, that's why we're taught anatomy and movement first because we're all working with the same form here. And it makes perfect sense from a business perspective. I just think people expect way too much in that regard. If they give Wolverine a couple extra LBs we'd be hearing how Hasbro botched him. I can't be mad that they make the smart choice and cut out redesigning what already works.
    But where I do agree is MSRP. It's getting ridiculous. ML exists as the fine median between kids toys and imports and when ML start becoming just as expensive as imports... that's a problem. I've always been preferred imports and that hasn't changed but I still grab the occasional ML and I'm usually really pleased. But that price...woof. Also their schedule is...bad. 2 years out to get NWH figures? Stealth releases? It's just a mess. I also HATE their selections. I know some die hards love these obscure characters, but holy heck it's annoying how we still lack so many MCU leads and major comic characters, but here's this one guy from a 1986 issue of X-Men no one remembers....I just don't get the selection process at this point.

      Nah. Look at that female buck…that can’t be improved or changed? If every female character had that shape, then ok, but they don’t. They’re not all that skinny. And the articulation on that female bucks is really lacking. Just a tiny bit of swivel at the torso and nothing at the waist.

  • @DisavowedActionFigures
    @DisavowedActionFigures ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Fun video sir. Just FYI though reuse of bucks has been the norm since the beginning of Hasbro. They used the standard “Bucky Cap” body for most males (other than Spidey) and now have transitioned to the Vulcan body with standard butterfly articulation and Pinless joints. The reuse is how they pump out so many figures each year. Enjoyed the video 👍

    • @DracoVimes
      @DracoVimes ปีที่แล้ว

      Bucks have been the norm since like the 70s or 80s where most figures were the same mold but repainted but I don’t know if you would call those bucks it’s really to make these more kid appealed (I’m not saying there for kids) toys cheaper so your not paying import prices on a figure you can just find at target

    Some of Hasbro's tactics and practices are really irking me but at the same time, I can't really say that I will ever be done from collecting marvel legends. They release a lot of obscure figures that I know will never get made by other brands such as mafex and mezco. In my eyes, they provide more quantity than quality but hey, I only collect 1/12 scale marvel figures so I can feasibly buy all their figures along with mafex and mezco ones but I know a lot of other people aren't like that so I understand when others say that they're quitting ML altogether.

    @coltonomega7700 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Heads up sorry for the long post, TLDR at end. I started collecting legends 10 years ago and up until recently was always an advocate of Hasbro and loved the line dearly. It connected my interest of comics, my childhood and an amazing community of friends all into one. Had you have asked me two years ago if I ever thought I would feel the way I feel about legends now I would have thought you were crazy but Hasbro has made it hard to feel positive about the direction of the line. From 2016-2021 I was a completist and had also tracked town most of the other toybiz and hasbros figures I had missed out in prior. By 2021 I had over 1,200 legends in my collection and started running out of room in my collection room.
    Around the time of realizing this space issue I had started tracking down a lot of the Mafex X-men and I fell in love with the quality and amount of stuff you got, around that time prices were only increased on legends once though so it didn’t feel like a rip off yet but then two other increases happened, windowless packaging, less accessories, a ton of reuse, worsening QC, and just an oblivious disregard of the fanbase in general made it hard to defend Hasbro and justify purchases when one figures was damn near half the price of a mafex. With all of that combined it zapped my passion for being a completist so I took a hard look at my collection to realize at the 19.99 price mark I had picked up so much that didn’t mean much to me and in the last 6 months have sold over 500 legends from my collection. Last year I purchased 32 legends as opposed to my normal 120-150 and this year I would say I might purchase even less. I love the X-men figures coming out, they have always been my main focus but as far as 90% of the other stuff im just not buying anymore.

  • @puffpuffpassmako
    @puffpuffpassmako ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ever since they did the windowless packaging BS I stopped. QC issues have been worse than ever with paint and damage. Even figure swaps are worse now. And on top of that they raised the price. I'm paying for a figure I can't see and premium prices that will most likely have botched paint. Also, its been confirmed the windowless packaging is done for Hasbro gettong tax breaks if they say its "environmentally friendly". Them saying the price increases are cause of the new packaging is a straight up lie. Thank god I moved to wrestling figures and DC multiverse

    Regarding the character of the Punisher and us getting any more figures of him in the future, I just hope he has the original skull emblem - whether or not there's gun accessories, I don't fully care as I have plenty that I can remove from other figures but it'd be nice to atleast have some sci-fi style guns that act as a place holder.

    I just wait for sales. Got war machine for $10, Baron Zemo for $15, and picked up the 80th hulk two pack for retail - with a slight discount for gamestop membership.

    I really wish Hasbro would increase the quality of their toys & price them more fairly. Back in October 2022, I got my amazing fantasy Spider-Man marvel legends for $30. For $30 I got 2 thwipp hands, 2 wall crawling hands, 2 web gripping hands, 2 fisted hands, 2 small web wings, 2 spread out web wings & a web. I was really impressed. But now with the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Gamerverse Spider-Man figure, you only get 2 fisted hands, 1 twhipp hand, 1 wall crawling hand & reused webs from years ago. Zero sculpted details, inaccurate paint job, reused body mold that doesn't fit the body type from the game, no Peter Parker head & no even pairs of hands. And the worst part is that they expect people to pay $34.99 for the bare minimum. Yep, charging more for less. I personally won't be supporting that business move. I would recommend people do the same if they want to see Hasbro get the idea that this scheme can't go on any longer.

    While I myself love the Newer Renew your Vows and Amazing Fantasy Spidey I am not cool w/ the MASSIVE reuse of the Legends Bucky / Cap Body over and over and over and over again . I understand the re use to save money and use it for other figures but it's getting crazy being there is barely any new molds or articulation being used and again more of the same making this whole thing normal for Marvel Legends. Mcfarlane is already doing this and we are only in year 03 now so I really don't want it to happen w/ anything Batman which is my all time fav and the bulk of my collection . I'm not a completionist so I shouldnt be seeing this happen more when I don't buy everything .
    The worst thing is this seems to becoming the standard for other companies and I really hate seeing it happen when we all just hand out our $ for something we love .
    I def think that M.L's are great for getting your fav's but def not if you collect them all . Especially like you said when we are having to pay more for less w/ the multi packs .
    Thanks for this great video . I wanna hear you play those drums . Besides figures and comics , I love amen breaks and drums 2 .

  • @tfnut
    @tfnut ปีที่แล้ว

    Since October of last year, there almost hasn’t been a single reveals from Marvel Legends I’ve been excited for (maybe extremis iron man). Not only are the prices getting out of hand, but I think I just don’t need anymore legends on the shelf at this point. Time will tell how much more I commit to the line but I’ve been focusing on characters from imports I actually need.

  • @CyborgSodaCollects
    @CyborgSodaCollects ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been canceling marvel legend pre orders left and right. Alotve the figures go on sale for less than half of their MSRP. Spinerette had weblines on her palms in the comics and they couldn't be bothered to include that. Even those the wasp figure from years ago had a similar palm detail.

  • @morkymoose9590
    @morkymoose9590 ปีที่แล้ว

    That’s actually the Spider-Man 2 Peter. It’s not an reissue. It’s just reusing the renew your vows body. Look at the suit pattern

  • @pawcanada
    @pawcanada ปีที่แล้ว

    I got into Marvel Legends with the retro 2099 figure back in late 2021. Like yourself, I'm more interested in variants of Spidey and thankfully have most of the ones I want, with the two I'm most after being the Ben and Kaine Scarlet Spiders. Part of me hopes they'll do reissues of them soon ( refuse to pay £100+ for each of them), but outside of that, unless there is some unforeseen variant like Tokusatsu Spider-Man last year or they decide to make (as an example) Spider-Man Unlimited due to him apparently featuring in the new SpiderVerse film (I really hope so) it'll be more of a case by case/"Do I like this suit and do I need it?" basis.

    I'm actually bought the last three Spideys Amazing Fantasy, Renew your Vows and Animated Series, so I have all what I want for my own multiverse, but I can't deny that I like the head sculpt of the new spiderman 2.

  • @UniversalLevelThreat
    @UniversalLevelThreat ปีที่แล้ว

    Other than Blob coming up, I have been done with legends for almost a year now. If they release any other BAFs I might grab them on Ebay if it's a necessary character.
    Makes sense collecting marvel is exhausting and a waste of time.
    Look at what they did with the MCU.
    Quantity over quality.

  • @collinschoenfelder677

    @rrcfunbooks1345 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually the Play station Spidey is not just a re-release it uses the renew your vows body mold with an accurate brand new head sculpt and the last one used the sunflower body mold and came with the Spider-Man UK head sculpt still the new one is too expensive
    Edit: also it's not from the first game it's from Spider-Man 2 but I really thought that they were gonna make a new body mold for it

  • @willfomes406
    @willfomes406 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a Marvel Legends collector for life because I love them. I'll buy figures from companies like MAFEX if I find them but In terms of collecting It will always be Marvel Legends because I've never had a single problem finding them and I've always been able to save up money for them and when I've bought one no matter what character it is it's always been high quality.

  • @BoogSReviews
    @BoogSReviews ปีที่แล้ว

    For me it’s the constant price hikes for figures that have little to no accessories and reused molds. The new Spider-Man game figure is $35 not including taxes and shipping. Probably $40 after that for a standard figure with underwhelming accessories. All legends are on clearance at my local GameStop and they stopped getting legends in because they don’t sell. They’re literally all on the clearance rack. It should tell Hasbro something is wrong but now they’re saying they’re going to double profits. Yeah. Right.

  • @YTY203

  • @chickenpit9991
    @chickenpit9991 ปีที่แล้ว

    I quit collecting Marvel Legends last year, and I can confidently say that I don't regret it. I might buy a few occasionally, but nothing released in the 2nd half of 2022 got me excited so I think I made the right choice. instead I focused on other lines, especially Marvel or Diamond Select, their last releases are really good The Vision, Beta Ray Bill.
    Another things is the plastic free packaging accompanied by the increasing number of QC issues, figure swaps even from official retail stores.

  • @Christian_Ada1
    @Christian_Ada1 ปีที่แล้ว

    I much rather them using the same body mold than what DC Direct did where Robin figure was taller than Batman in the same wave even

    I see there's a lot of spider man fans here, so this might sound like blasphemy. There is too much spiderman in a short period of time; it's Stale, in my opinion. It's like they're remastering the mmpr, which most of us just complete the regular issues. So are you excited for it, or do you just wanna get it because you know it'll sell out?

    I still love Marvel Legends and with X-Men releases coming I HAVE to get them. But with the price increases, I have skipped 2 waves last year and have become more selective with the non BAF waves. The days of being a completionist are gone for me for the most part. The price hikes definitely make the import drops in price more attractive so HASBRO might be doing their competitors a huge favor here in a quest for more of our $$$.

    @mrmola3295 ปีที่แล้ว

    Im very lucky that i only collect movie figures, so i can buy mafex and sh figuarts and have a definitive mcu version of most characters. Marvel legends mcu figures are also really good figures with one off unique sculpts. When it comes to comic marvel legends, i really feel sorry for you collectors. Its just reuse after reuse, repaint after repaint. Sadly, hasbro think its acceptable to charge extortionate prices for figures we had 8 years ago like ghost rider, and terrax etc. The sadest part is ive watched a few 2022 top 10 marvel legends videos and some of the lists people come up with have 5 or 6 repaints in. There comes a point where you cant blame hasbro anymore. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

  • @elithenerd8956
    @elithenerd8956 ปีที่แล้ว

    My plan is to get the best comic versions of the Avengers and X-men and that might be it. Black Series is still kicking out good figures like the Bad Batch Cad Bane and they’ve got other figures that are coming out. Mcfarlane is still making good Dc figs like the Deathstroke and Arkham Knight Red Hood. Transformers legacy looks like they’re making comic figures so that’s another line. And I got my first Action Force figure, I want more of them. It feels like Legends is falling behind. Hopefully they pick up the pace. I started collecting with Legends and it would be a shame to leave it the way it is now.

  • @noone-mo6gy

    Alright, the Marvel legends insomniac spider man to figure I can get, some people don't like the lack of details, where you lose me is when we introduce the spider verse 2 , what is wrong with them being stylized? The method's into the spider versus miles Morales was stylized and nobody hated that figure, so why is this any different with Marvel legends?

    Sheesh, starting to wonder if they are "real" Marvel fans now that I've seen Raimi fans putting their foots down already about the animated film that I'm wanting to go see ._.
    Now I'm glad I didn't grew up with the Marvel movies... since I've only grown up with the comics and the cartoons back in the 90's and 2000's, I even bet most Marvel fans would have a problem with me growing up with those 2 years they hated lol.

    With the amount of reused sculpts, shoddy paint jobs & the outrageous pricing, Hasbro has been getting super greedy! they need to rethink their business model. Tbh McFarlane would do marvel justice if they took over, and that's saying a lot.
