I know MAFEX gets all the love for capturing comic art styles in plastic form, but that Ultimate Spidey perfectly captures Mark Bagley's art, especially with those eyes!
Not really the body is completely off doesn’t look how ultimate Spider-Man is drawn proportions wise. The paint job and eyes are accurate though. That symbol looks clean though
@@TheFwoosh I just got my set the other day, was just fiddling around with Silvermane and mine had his ears painted out of the box!! Looks like a QC issue on yours, unfortunately! Sorry to break the bad news, just wanted you to know! Keep up the great work, love the channel!!
Fun fact, the ultimate Spider-Man body measures to exactly 5'10" in a true 1:12 scale, so it's perfect for using with your classified and black series.
@@TheFwoosh yeah, I just enjoy that you can use the ultimate Spider-Man and the amazing fantasy spiderman as an example of the difference between true scale and marvel legends creep
@@toddjones1480 Let's take a Marvel Legends Spidey for example. Assuming 5'9" (69 inches/Spidey's height) is the average male height; 69 divided by 11 IS approximately 6.25. If true 6 inch lines such as SH Figuarts are 1:12th scale, while 7 inch lines such as Marvel Select are 1:10th scale; why don't we refer to Marvel Legends as 1:11th scale?
This sets actually pretty nice for being mostly repaints... also, I thought it was pretty cool when Hasbro brought you up to reveal Razorback back at comic con.
I'm probably in the minority but that ultimate symbiote Spiderman is what pushed me into getting this set. Always loved the game and the symbiote run in the comics so I was pretty excited to see it getting an action figure
I *only* know Silvermane thanks to the RC car body. I'd heard of him, but Superior Foes of Spider-Man is the first time I read something with him in it. He was... fine, but everyone else in that comic was just way better. Those five absolute losers will always be my favourite Sinister Six! Man, they really need to make an Overdrive... actually, he's kind of perfect for this kind of release. Get on it, Hasbro!
I love this set , can't wait to get it. The minor characters are what make Marvel so good. I don't mind the reuse. And giving us a Different Spider-Man for the Spiderverse shelf works for me.
I don't collect much Marvel Legends anymore, but this pack is cool. I always love the lower tier villains. I really want Razorback and Human Fly. I may play the long game and see if this goes on sale like many of the 5 packs have.
Good looking set. It would be cool to get it on sale. I’ll see if I get lucky. Looks like Hasbro decided to announce on 10/20 that they weren’t completely happy with Robo having a pretty good Pretty Boy custom. They just went ahead and planned one and made a digital render to boot. Should look good with the current Reavers.
IF we get a She-Hulk comic themed/heavy wave, I expect Razorback to show up in there. That’s where I know him beat and he had a decent redemption arc in it.
If I'm gonna build up a Spider Woman rogues gallery, I guess The Fly is a good start...now there are some Handbook guys...or even guys that never made the Handbook.
I'm into this set because I see four characters I don't have and a neat Spidey for the Spider-Verse shelf, that purpley symbiote is very "Ultimate Spider-Man" to me because of the Shattered Dimensions game.
@@TheFwoosh Yep! He's wearing it in the Ultimate Spider-Man sections of the Shattered Dimensions game, where four different Spider-Men (616, Noir, 2099, and Ultimate) work together across Dimensions to recover fragments of some tablet Mysterio broke. Ultimate is given back the symbiote but more under his control by Madame Web and looks just like this!
Love the Handbook and Dc's Who's Who. And I want a Mindworm figure! And I want this Razorback as well, but I only care for 2 out of the 5 figs. Razorback and Human Fly. I'm a fan of Molten Man, but not to crazy how it was done here. Same with Silvermane. I could care less for the included Spidey. I guess I'll play the gambling game and wait for it to drop in price.
Yeah, I still love just flipping through those books. And I was in for those same two, had to have them, but pleasantly surprised by the others. Still not my favorites but will do for now.
Am I the only one who wanted Fwoosh to keep upgrading bucks lol?! Felt a little kit-edged’ed with the Razorback, to Omega Red- then stopping right before Age of Ap Sabertooth. I think it would’ve been a near perfect pairing 😍
I stuck the old Silvermane head on the Fan Channel Blue / Gunmetal Iron Man body (Invincible Iron Man body / yellow lightsaber) and it works great. Definitely getting this set. The more the merrier for my Spidey villains. Thanks for the great review Robo!
I hope those Silvermane thigh swivels are stronger than the previous use of the molds. My ultimate Beatle came out of storage since some time ago with both thigh pegs broken without reason. I would get this set, mainly for the Ultimate Spidey. But a 5 pack just for one is too expensive sadly
Good review as always👌. This 5pack is definetly mine thing. I love less known funny and dumb characters. Especially spider-man villains. Razorback, the Fly are perfect. Ultimate symbiote spidey is a good add to spider verse display because of this cool paint he really can stand out, and molten man isn't that bad as I expected but he could have Namor body to be more bulky. And silvermane is well..... Hasbro is lucky I don't care that much how he looks because this is lazy repaint. One thing I gotta tell you tho you got paint deffect. And those big round ears should be painted silver XD
I was impatient and pre ordered the Wolverine set and the Psylocke/Nimrod only to see them be basically 40% off 3 months later....I'm waiting this one out now lol.
Got this box set....and i really dig it. I bought it specifically for Razorback and Human Fly. But, i will say this Silvermane and Molten Man do look much better in hand. I sold the Spiderman since i don't collect or read that version of Spiderman. And...my Razorback came with two right hands. I put a spare Thor left hand on him. Same size hand...but no glove....it looks odd, but not as bad as two right hands. I'll get another left hand eventually for Razorback. Still a great set to me.
Did they fix the thigh issue on that Silvermane? People who kitbashed him with that Ultron body had a ton of issues with brittle plastic with the thigh swivel...
The actual fly version of The Fly was awesome, I would much have preferred that. this guy is just "Generic neon wetsuit with some wings on it". I was never huge into comic collecting as a kid, it just didn't feel very accessible, but in a Sinister Six comic the fly was a serial killer who made his lair in a belltower where he stored his victims to be broken down with his acid spit. Super dark and creepy and I loved it.
Razorback is such a cool toyetic design. Hasbro could've made the head and shoulder gear 2 separate piece. 1 is the headgear mask. and the other is the skin textured drape all over his shoulders much like Gorr MCU design cape., hence giving him the head/neck articulation. missed opportunity. Once i got a copy I might try my idea.😀
Man I dig it ! I laughed or chuckled while watching this. So wait a tick RB is mutant ? Now I wanna get them and put him with my mutants for laughs ! " To me my mutants, wait what are you doing here ?"
So wait… Razorbacks powers aren’t warthog based at all??? I always assumed he was like rino or grizzly (big dude with the powers of a boar) But hes just wearing a pig head for basically the same reason batman is dressed like a bat?
Great review fwoosh!! I want this 5 pack mostly for the ultimate Spider-Man figure because it reminds me of the ultimate Spider-Man game from when I was a kid. But since you gave me all the information about the other figures in the pack I’m more excited to get them I didn’t really know razorback or human fly
It's odd that color choice for this Spider-Man figure looks more like the Ultimate Spider-Man than the Earth-616 Spidey. EDIT: Oh it is Ultimate Spider-Man! I didn't realize until you showed size comparison with Miles Morales and the Human Touch.
aint willin to spend the 130 on just razor back. He's only one worth it lol. The fact that this set is STILL available on amazon while all other sets have sold out is all ya need to know. Waiting on that deep cut to pick razor back and the kit bash crew lolol.
Awesome overview! I really just want Molten Man. Maybe the Human Fly, if I can find one. But I don't want the whole set. If I catch a sale, maybe I'd bite
I, too, am a HUGE Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe fan. Not the original with, IIRC, the yellow covers, but the thicker ones that came next, with the white covers. Hated it when they went to the kind you can put in a folder. They always had the edge over DC's WHO'S WHO by far. (Do I have PDFs of the old TSR PnP RPG to satisfy that craving? Naturally.)
As someone who's just read the Ultimate comics for the first time earlier this year, I'm glad they released the symbiote Spider-Man in that style, it's just weird that we don't have many other Ultimate Spider-Man comic characters. Spider-Man villains are near and dear to me, that's what got me into Marvel as a child and is probably my favorite part of my Marvel Legends collection, but for budget and space I stick to a set group of what I consider the biggest names which for me is 16 characters. For me the Chameleon is the only one I'm waiting on to get a revamp. With that the only characters in this set who come onto my radar are Molten Man and Silvermane, but they wouldn't make that top 16 list, definitely agree that Molten Man should be broader, and Silvermane as a whole new sculpt would make for a cool figure. That said, I like the thrown together lower-level choices here. Human Fly seems like a perfectly generic low-level villain, reminds me of something like Killer Moth or various other loser supervillains, I see that face and just think he's angry because everyone tells him he sucks. I have no attachment to Razorback, but I love the ridiculousness. Not of the design, it's comics after all, but of how it has nothing to do with his powers, it's one of those things where there's no way that was unintentionally funny when they created that character. Either way, glad you finally got him for your shelf Robo.
@@TheFwoosh To me it'd be like a character who has a spaghetti themed costume, then their power turns out to be x-ray vision, but only through brick walls. The power itself is random, but it and the costume have no correlation, and I kind of love that. It's like the character couldn't care less about theming themselves, they just chose a costume because they liked, got to have respect for that.
I like all the classic Spidey characters so this is interesting. It's just niggling that they could he on better body moulds. Retro Spidey/Renew your vows for Human Fly (shame Human Fly's wings aren't better articulated,in and out instead of just up and down), and as Robo showed some better options for Razorback, although he looks pretty good as is. Molten Man on Vulcan bod perhaps.
OK, you got me, Robo. I'd already preordered the set, but I just ordered an AoA Sabretooth to upgrade Razorback. Now what are we gonna do about Silvermane's feet? Maybe the Ultron BAF's feet? I'll have to look into it once this set arrives.
Nice vid! Do you think you’ll be grabbing the Mezco Rumble Society Krig 13 Eradicator Hornet at any time? I just picked it up and its amazing. Great accessories and sculpt.
Are you planning on getting the WWE Wrekkin Rig for Razorback? I picked one up to customize, debating on putting a Big Pig logo on it or go Jack Burton and use the Porkchop Express logo.
I like to have a more teenager spider man figures, a lot of people forget that we did had a whole arc of Peter being just a kid trying to not get an F and saving his neighborhood
The ultimate symbiote is nice... but I wouldn't get a 5 pack just for one figure. But, I bet a lot of money that Hasbro will release a repaint where he's just a matte black. But are the other figures worth it? Should I get it?
Because of the reuse and old molds, this comes off as second rate. Most of the figures look outdated. It could have been much better even if it has obscure characters. This set has clearance written all over it. When its on sale, I'll consider getting it.
Based on the promo pics you either got a paint defect on your silvermaine ears or Hasbro messed up on the promo pics. Watching this review made me hope they weren't gonna reuse the silvermaine body for the rumored legends pretty boy. They just revealed him today with a better looking robot body.which I'm pretty sure people will now use the pretty boy body for a silvermaine because it looks a little bit more accurate. That molten man makes me ask why don't we have a proteus yet he's mainly one color😑.
FWOOSH IMPORTANT!!! So u said your human torch accessories r in a plastic bag and over time that bag will willl!! Brake down and so won’t the hands or other accessories!! I hope u read this! I’ve watched this like 5 times now just because I rly want this pack keep up the great work!!!
I wish Silvermane came with a regular, non-cyborg head so that it could be used for a generic suited body. Heck, the whole Silvermane figure is a letdown. I know these are obscure characters in this pack and most people just want the (oddly out of place) Ultimate Spider-Man, but Silvermane's cybernetic body is so unique in the comics. It would have certainly been a standout figure in any collection with that design. With that said, I also want to say that this set isn't as bad as others are making it out to be. Silvermane is the only real dud in my opinion. It is cool to get these obscure characters. For anyone who wants them, a sale would work well, like you said.
I don't like the set (and I don't have to get it!) but I liked it way more than I expected, honestly. If it goes on steep sale who knows. Great review! Also, Silvermane having skin color ears is just so weird, it looks super bad (no idea if it's comic accurate or not, guess it's not)
Not accurate, and the promo images had them silver too, so I just painted them. There's another review on TH-cam and theirs were silver so maybe it's just mine.
I know MAFEX gets all the love for capturing comic art styles in plastic form, but that Ultimate Spidey perfectly captures Mark Bagley's art, especially with those eyes!
Yeah, like I said, caught me off guard how much I like it, especially after thinking it was just going in a tub when we first saw the set.
Not really the body is completely off doesn’t look how ultimate Spider-Man is drawn proportions wise. The paint job and eyes are accurate though. That symbol looks clean though
yeah but do we really have to get a 5 pack and spend 130 $ just to get a decent symbiote spidey?
No, you spend $130 and get an awesome Razorback.
@@TheFwoosh not too keen on him, my heart yearns for a good black suit spidey
Silvermane with the flesh colored ears looks so funny, like a Micky Mouse whit his ears squeezed to his head 🤣
Haha, yeah, I didn't notice it at first but when I did.......woooo.....gotta break out the silver marker.

Can we refer to Marvel Legends as 1:11 scale?
@@k.bermejo7334 No. They’re more 6.25” scale than 6.5” scale. And the MCU ones are pretty much 6” scale.

Damn. Those flesh-colored Silvermane ear covers are one of the most disturbing QC issues I've seen since Hasbro's transition to windowless packaging.
It was jarring but one silver paint marker later and it's not a problem. And for me, package goes in trash so windowless isn't a big deal either.
This sets actually pretty nice for being mostly repaints... also, I thought it was pretty cool when Hasbro brought you up to reveal Razorback back at comic con.

And he goes well with a Shattered Dimensions display.
Oh no, he’s definitely the reason I wanted it so you aren’t alone : )
I luckily got the set on sale this year. Two years later and got it for $70
Razorback is awesome. He's forsure the standout of the set
He's the standout of ANY set! ha!
OOOO finally an Ultimate black suit spidey!! The purple highlighted black suit has always been my favorite

That Symbiote spidey is dope ,and the art work too

Man, they really need to make an Overdrive... actually, he's kind of perfect for this kind of release. Get on it, Hasbro!
I picked up an oddball Power Ranger to stand in for Overdrive until we get one, but yeah, he's a great candidate for a boxset.
Having a 90s style Cable still MOC is the most 90s thing you could do 😆

That molten man body swap actually looked pretty dope!
Would love to see them go back and make more Ultimate Marvel figures
I would not be surprised if they did an Ultimate X-Men wave or two for some anniversary themed wave.
Especially an ultimate venom
Ok now that they've done Razorback Will O' the Wisp has got to be on the way
Will O' The Wisp and Swarm, hopefully. And Cardiac. And Rocket Racer.

REALLY hope there do a single card release for Silvermane and Molten Man. Can't justify buying the rest just for those 2.
I suspect there’s lots of people who bought this set just for Ultimate Spider-Man and will be selling the rest on eBay
IF we get a She-Hulk comic themed/heavy wave, I expect Razorback to show up in there. That’s where I know him beat and he had a decent redemption arc in it.

I’m definitely getting this, especially for Ultimate Spidey and Razorback.
That ultimate Spidey at least means we can make a complete Shattered Dimensions roster now.

I hate always screaming heads without a neutral head. Human fly is still cool though. Might use an extra hydra soldier headed for a neutral head.

Knew the arms weren't new on the Pretty Boy. Same exact arms as Ultron/Silvermane.

Retro Spidey/Renew your vows for Human Fly (shame Human Fly's wings aren't better articulated,in and out instead of just up and down), and as Robo showed some better options for Razorback, although he looks pretty good as is. Molten Man on Vulcan bod perhaps.
Kinda wish they made molten man clear plastic instead of the Gold
Those silvermane flesh ears tho....you gotta paint em robo.
Paint is already drying!
OK, you got me, Robo. I'd already preordered the set, but I just ordered an AoA Sabretooth to upgrade Razorback. Now what are we gonna do about Silvermane's feet? Maybe the Ultron BAF's feet? I'll have to look into it once this set arrives.
I'm kinda eyeing the old ball hip Ultron, can't remember when it came out.
@@TheFwoosh the Iron Monger / Iron Man 3 wave one?
Oh yeah, that's it, I just googled and wow, I don't even remember that cardback!
@@TheFwoosh That Ultron helped kickstart my Marvel Legends collecting! Love it!
@@jessehcreative Yes! Thank you; that's perfect.
Nice to see hasbro making some more obscure villains, hopefully they eventually make basilisk and dr spring chicken
Yes, we need Basilisk!
@@johnbeculhimer1749 and dr spring chicken
Nice vid! Do you think you’ll be grabbing the Mezco Rumble Society Krig 13 Eradicator Hornet at any time? I just picked it up and its amazing. Great accessories and sculpt.
I want razorback and human fly so bad.
Are you planning on getting the WWE Wrekkin Rig for Razorback? I picked one up to customize, debating on putting a Big Pig logo on it or go Jack Burton and use the Porkchop Express logo.
I love the lion king reference
I like to have a more teenager spider man figures, a lot of people forget that we did had a whole arc of Peter being just a kid trying to not get an F and saving his neighborhood
8:09 that’s my number one favorite
Molten man is on way too small of a body mold for him. It's super disappointing
It's not my preferred look, but he has been smaller like that.
@@TheFwoosh he's been skinny, but he's never been short.
The paint on silvermanes ears😂😂😂
The ultimate symbiote is nice... but I wouldn't get a 5 pack just for one figure. But, I bet a lot of money that Hasbro will release a repaint where he's just a matte black. But are the other figures worth it? Should I get it?
well, classic ultimate spidey with his simbiot suit its just AWESOME
but just little wierd, caz we have 616 enemy's and 1610 spidey, why?
Eh I'll take it 😂
I want this spidey to complete my shattered dimensions display
Because of the reuse and old molds, this comes off as second rate. Most of the figures look outdated. It could have been much better even if it has obscure characters. This set has clearance written all over it. When its on sale, I'll consider getting it.
Hey, cool, that's exactly what I said you should do if you feel this way.
@@TheFwoosh yup, anyway, fun review as always.👍
Love THE WHO’s Who
Molten man kinda looks like Dolph Lundgren. Just me?
That molten man has a nice colossus head to be tho
I did not know about this and like you love the obscure characters. Pre-order done!
Based on the promo pics you either got a paint defect on your silvermaine ears or Hasbro messed up on the promo pics. Watching this review made me hope they weren't gonna reuse the silvermaine body for the rumored legends pretty boy. They just revealed him today with a better looking robot body.which I'm pretty sure people will now use the pretty boy body for a silvermaine because it looks a little bit more accurate. That molten man makes me ask why don't we have a proteus yet he's mainly one color😑.
Great review! Looking forward to this set!
(3:57) it needs to look again🤔, for what went wrong with this figure! 🙄 Always read the comic book art first.😮💨
FWOOSH IMPORTANT!!! So u said your human torch accessories r in a plastic bag and over time that bag will willl!! Brake down and so won’t the hands or other accessories!! I hope u read this! I’ve watched this like 5 times now just because I rly want this pack keep up the great work!!!
I wish Silvermane came with a regular, non-cyborg head so that it could be used for a generic suited body. Heck, the whole Silvermane figure is a letdown. I know these are obscure characters in this pack and most people just want the (oddly out of place) Ultimate Spider-Man, but Silvermane's cybernetic body is so unique in the comics. It would have certainly been a standout figure in any collection with that design.
With that said, I also want to say that this set isn't as bad as others are making it out to be. Silvermane is the only real dud in my opinion. It is cool to get these obscure characters. For anyone who wants them, a sale would work well, like you said.
I don't like the set (and I don't have to get it!) but I liked it way more than I expected, honestly. If it goes on steep sale who knows. Great review! Also, Silvermane having skin color ears is just so weird, it looks super bad (no idea if it's comic accurate or not, guess it's not)
Not accurate, and the promo images had them silver too, so I just painted them. There's another review on TH-cam and theirs were silver so maybe it's just mine.
@@TheFwoosh oh neat, thanks! didn't know that. Probably bad luck on yours then
I still have my 1610 Ultimate Peter Parker/Spider-Man from marvel legends, and I really wish that I have the symbiote version, very awesome!
Yeah... Those Silverman ear covers are... a choice.
Im just going to buy ultimate symbiote spidey seperate. Its so nostalgic to me. Only one i want and really wish it was just a seperate release.
I really wanted that human fly
You could also use Thunderball's body for Razorback.
Maybe the head would match better if sprayed with a couple coats of high gloss paint
Which head? Molten Man?
