if I am willing to share my perspective on this "Maximum" series line is that in my opinion the first figure in the line was the 60th Anniversary Black Widow Deluxe.
It was a great figure that had 3 interchangable heads, a couple pair of hands and the accesories you could want for the character and all of that was at the cost of only $30 dollars.
As much as I love Spider-Man if the Maximum figure is charged at the price of $60 dollars then it's not worth it. At that price we deserve something far better than what Hasbro is willing to do.
Excellent observation! I agree!
@@nashe_clarke I would also add that Walmart exclusive Dr. Strange to this list
And where is the fan channel release of that Widow? Not everyone can't access to Target.
Yes
Hoping for a Daredevil in this line.
The leak said Hulk and Storm, both are easy for them, they had plenty of heads already. But this line success gonna depends of the price.
I think this is finally how we get an updated Jim Lee Psylocke.
If that's what it takes!
5POA commentary stuff was exactly what I needed lol. Hope to see you keep this stuff up!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it
I heard the rumor that Hulk was next with a clap effect or something which would suggest butterfly joints
I would put money on a classic white boots and gloves Punisher with a load of guns and blast effects.
I'm not a big Punisher guy, but even I would not be able to resist that!
tariffs is coming baby expect more increase of action figure prices
Get all your CT Toys orders in now while they're still cheap lol
It would be an interesting discussion for a video, that's for sure
Make your voice heard. Say you don't like the tariffs everywhere you can.
Can we get a full figure collection tour, that would be really cool to see
Currently, my toy room (I call it the Sanctum), is in shambles and I am in the early stages of finally renovating it. Total top to bottom redo. Paint, new floors, shelves, the works. The plan is to document that process so y'all can see the displays as I set them up.
I think this line would be apropiate for characters that use fire guns like punisher, just imagine if hasbro makes a new cable or as you said a deadpool with lots of weapons i would pay for that.
I'd watch a wish list video. Personally, I hope they make another classic Thor with this wave, it's been a while since they last put out a classic Thor or really a Thor of any kind
Hasbro has tried for a long time to figure out how to get some of that import customer base and they're pretty close. I think now to become an alternative to those who only prefer to buy Mafex and Revoltech, one thing I feel that would push this maximum line further would be increased shading. The funny thing I think is people that say this figure better be 40 bucks they are going after the crowd that spends $100+ on their figures, so I assume this will be 50+ at least.
You could have made a simple video but you chose to throw a lot of figure shots as you explained your points. Very visual and entertaining video, you are a hard working dude. Keep it up with that wishlist video! I for sure want to see more of you in this format.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate the feedback!
I can see a maximum style Mr fantastic or Sue to capitalize on the new movie
Glad you brought up Spiral, she was a pleasant surprise, a bit shocking that they gave us so much on a figure buck they possibly will be able to use twice at most.
I would really like to see Rogue get a maximum series figure
Yes! Absolutely.
@@5POAFigureReviews Yeah
If they did a Venom with both that head and a fully unmasked one i would buy it in a heartbeat
I would love to see a more updated Squirrel Girl, something closer to the solo comic
Said no one ever
As they were showing this during the showcase my enthusiasm slowly declined the more they showed. I love the idea of a super posable marvel legend packed with accessories, but whats packed in this box will likely not be worth the price tag they slap on it. Don't get me wrong, I want to like this figure but the sculpt leaves Spidey looking more gangly than I would like, and the accessories just don't look that great either.
I'd like to see a new Hulk from this line
According to the leaks that leaked this Maximum line and claimed spidey will be the first entry, he'll be the next. The leak also stated this will be a new buck for hulk and he'll be able to do the thunder clap pose. Only time will tell but my gosh that'll be amazing.
I heard the rumor that Hulk was next with a clap effect or something which would suggest butterfly joints - I think Storm and Psylocke would be good additions for female characters
Where did you hear that?
Either of those ladies for sure
5:50 if hasbro makes a maximum series wolverine, I’d love to see it have one masked head that just came with a bunch of swappable mouth plates, similar to the Kang the conqueror they just made
This situation reminds me of the 'Party Size!' effect.. economy tanks, prices rise and sizes shrink, economy starts to recover and the same standard sizes from a few years earlier come back as a limited exciting thing like "Party size" but is at a higher price anyways. Wash rinse repeat in every market
The Maximum line has a lot of potential in my opinion, more articulation and more accessories. But it won't be worth it's plastic if Hasbro doesn`t reform it's distribution policy. It's fun to hunt for releases, but having some figures almost never show up in stores really does suck, and absolutely can hurt sales of a new sub-line like this.
I really liked the new spider-man, but if the NWH Electro is $35, I imagine the Maximum Series would be no less than $55, wich I agree with you, Hasbro plastic material and overall finish doesn't justify this price range. If, for some miracle, it ends up being less than $40, than I can see it doing well enough
If Let There Be Carnage can be $40 for an all new figure that's 9" tall with an extra head, hands, and four giant bendy tentacles, $50 for a Spider-Man is more than pushing it.
This line should def be 30 bucks max imo, cant justify it being over 40-60 (unless its a bigger figure) for a regular marvel legend with a few more accessories. Just like with how black widow has been the first unofficial maximun marvel legend with 3 less accessories than this new spiderman for 27 bucks. Also I would really like to see your wishlist with more types of these videos too. Also i would like for every figure to have unique sculpts with no reuse unless its a variation of a character like with spiderman and such, and if they're really trying to be more premium and try to compete with mafex, there should be no cheaping out and just go all in with every release. Also #3 hope they make an updated hulk & nova too.
Love the video. My prediction would be Magneto. He desperately needs a new body. Their last attempts were really bad. I only like their fabulous unmasked long hair ‘97 version which had decent body type. Maximum Wolverine is a guaranteed. They love Wolvie as much as Spidey.
Man my kingdom for a good Magneto. There is not a single one I have ever seen that's gotten it right in my eyes.
Something I Would Like is to see some WILDCARDS Marvel characters...Like Toad from Xmen or some of the villians who are yet to be made like Titanium Man
Not that I would say no to more Toad, but do you know about the 20th Anniversary wave version?
@5POAFigureReviews I Have it...but while love the HELL out that one, he did go a bit low on accesories and things that made him Toad
Great list, although this line has been rumored months ago and the next figure in the line is a Hulk with thunderclap hands and better butterfly joints
I hit the like button on all your videos before they even start
Quantity is gonna be a big part of how this series does, If they do like maybe 3 a year and really work on them on being the best they can be then I feel that would balance out a lot of peoples worries. Just looking at Spider-Man he seems to have a lot of new tooling, he's not just RYV with a new head so hopefully any new figures will be complere reworks aswell.
I’m sure Todd McFarlane will definitely like this action figure
for an updated venom it would be nice to have a normal Eddy Brock head or finally a bearded version how he looked in the King in Black saga (haven't read the new stuff yet). I would be more excited for something that deserved a Maximum more and that would be to finally get a Maximum Carnage Carnage, the big "Herald of Knull" Zombie version instead of the small alternate cover version
A Mafex wishlist would be cool to see 😀
Interesting idea! That is something I never thought of
@@5POAFigureReviews Also do you collect Mondo 1/6 at all? Would be cool to see your reviews of the Batman TAS, X-Men TAS and Spider-Man TAS figures if you did 😀
I like the idea of this line, but they need to step up their game. My biggest complaints with Marvel Legends are how cheap and plasticky they look, and how goofy their proportions can be. The Spider-Man has decent proportions, but he still looks cheap. They need to start hitting these guys with matte top coats already.
You keep mentioning reusing bodies, but this line shouldn't be reusing almost anything from the main marvel line. My biggest issue is the quality. The promo shots on this spiderman still look like cheap plastic. If its a premium figures, at least give it a matte finish or something.
I totally agree that they should be all-new sculpts, but I also don't trust Hasbro not to cut corners where they can.
Great video, man. I agree with your prediction on this. More videos like this or in front content would be good every now and then.
Thanks for the feedback!
I just want a daredevil 😭😭😭
A Daredevil in this format would be amazing!
Thor is the #1 character that would benefit the most. He needs a wired cape, multiple head sculpts with flowing hair for flying or action poses, spinning hammer effect, and lightning effects.
For the Maximum series I hope they go for a more Toy Biz inspired thing where it was just a bunch of characters with as much articulation but also keeping with their own respective body builds and maybe some characters that really need new versions either from the old Toy Biz or just figures that need a new version from past Marvel Legends.
That would be ideal, for sure
i like that the new spiderman has neck joint and forearm swivel on a new body
Am Game For A Wish List Btw They Talk of Hulk Might Be Next But We Will Wait And See
Well, I haven't thought about that, I would be up to get a Cyclops loaded with accessories and below secondary market price.
Absolutely!
Wanted to drop in to say this is easily my favorite toy channel on TH-cam and I love the content! Very much looking forward to this figure.
If they want money they’ll charge it at $30. People will buy it out and multiple for customs, etc
A nightcrawler with a rapier and a pirates hat would be cool
Totally! And a bendy wire in the tail
I just don’t see this being worth anything more than $30
In recent years, marvel legends has gotten more comfortable making references to the Marvel vs Capcom interpretation of the characters, they even gave this spidy his web shield and they posed him in his classic stance.
Im saying all of this because if the hulk is going to be in this line i really really hope they gave him a Marvel vs capcom sculpt head, that is my favourite interpretation of Hulk by far
Absolutely! I have been wanting that for a long time.
I'm hoping to get an updated Thor and Iceman 🤟🏼
Iceman is very high on my list! And I want him to have a big full size ice slide, similar to what they did with Phoenix' firebird
Right with different head sculpts that fit the different eras, maybe swappable belts, and all the ice attachments they can stuff in there! LOL 😅
💯 agree with the concerns and the predictions. I could/ pass on everyone except Cap unless they gave us Punisher 💀. Always great videos and perspective
Thanks! As as someone who is not all that into Punisher, I'd be down for a good one packed with weapons and gear
The next maximum reveal is actually most likely going to be the hulk. The accurate leak list only mentioned spiderman and hulk for the maximum line, and just about every single reveal we've had for the past several months has been on that list. I do think your predictions for what will be in the line are fair though, just not what will be next
It was leaked that the next one will be hulk
This should be 25 to 30 dollars, if it’s anything more then people should just wait for the line to be in oliles for 15 dollars
I figured they would just do the same characters they did in the 12 inch line (Spider-Man,
Deadpool, Daredevil, Tiger Stripe Wolverine, Black Panther).
That being said, Daredevil would more than likely be among the next figures since they can re-use the Spider-Man body.
I think the next Maximum Series should be Wolverine instead of Cap despite the Wolverines being released in 2024
Always possible! I was basing my prediction on what would require the least amount of new parts
@5POAFigureReviews cap required a shield. Wolverine? Aside from extra head and unmasked? I just think he needs toe articulations. And just like Spidey, people will always fall for a new Wolverine. And not just people in the US, but worldwide.
i cant wait to get him!!!!!!! I loved your explanation on him! I know its not the best, but i personally love mcfarlane spidey, so im def gonna get him!
Daredevil and Elektra Maximum series
Maximum Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic is my most wanted figure in this line with swappable bendy/stretched out body attachments and alternate pieces showing different forms Reed has taken in the comics (like a ball with the "4" displayed or the wrap-around accessory MS did). I would not even care if they rereleased the same figure in the different FF outfit colors (at least the OG black and blue and white and blue costumes would be guaranteed sellers).
Actually jason rumors have been reporting that Hulk is the next figure for the Maximum Line
Interesting. Eep, if Spidey DOES end up being $50 I don't even want to know what a Hulk would be
@ my guess probably $65-$70
I might just get Wolverine because I don't collect marvel legends that much!!!
Maximum carnage should be a no-brainer. Maximum Dr. Doom. Dr. Ock, Dr. Strange Maximum punisher, daredevil. Thor.
I feel like a clown when it comes to marvel legend Spiderman
2015 pizza spidy; this is the end all be all for spidy figures!!
2020 Retro Spidy; no no THIS is the end all be all for spidy’s!!
2022 RYV Spidy; ok we fixed a few things so this is the PERFECT one!
2025 maximum spidy; ok we promise THIS is the one!!
With Mafex it feels like one and done. I’m just tired of always have to go back and get the newest spidy.
Well, as my Spider-Man Evolution Video proved, there's always a new and better one
@ oh 100%, I just gotta put the clown make up on everytime I tell my wife “ok I know I said the last one was the last one but this time I swear is the last one!”
them taking this long to reveal the price is the worst thing for their marketing. stupid idea. reveal it when you’re ready to say the price.
I wonder if they are deciding the price still based on the discourse of the community
@ wouldn’t surprise me. but now they’ve waited too long and people already have turned against this and are ready to bow out or just get the mafex.
Red & Gold Iron Man Pleeeaaase! ...Along with HULK!
Im debating if i should buy it
Same bro
Me too, I don't believe in definitive figures, also Mattel is gonna do Thundercats.
I'm passing on this Spidey, and this line. But if they make Thor, my favorite character I'll get him.
I said to myself if this isn't a Romita Jr Spidey from the early eighties , that's the universe sending me a sign to tet out now lol.
I'm saving my cash for Storm Arena and Joy Toy TMNT.
Get out now.
I saw a rumour about Hulk with a thunderclap effect
Hulk and Daredevil
Daredevil could be really cool with all sorts of Billy club effects
IMO the next Marvel Legends Maximum series is going to be the Incredible Hulk
It's already been on several leaks lists .& there hasn't been a new Hulk body sculpt in over 5 years.
I really can't see this being more than 39.99 especially if its relative to legends in that it uses all the same kinds of plastic and techniques but at a 'premium" markup
Hi, I like this kind of videos, I think people will take better considerations with your points of view, regarding the subject, Sadly hasbro has never been known for a cheap company I think they just rebranding the evolution of the action figures world in general, with compaies as CT toys, jada and Innart competing for a better and cheaper market, they have to make some moves; with Diamond toys (my favorite) in crisis, they start doing some new ML comics version with new scuplts instead of just paint them and some fully new sculpt ( hulk breaker Iron Man and Odin for example, where finally they go all the way in new sculpting with out thinking reusing in other figures ( my percpetion). I think with all new companies in the new action figure war, we can benefit directly. and Hasbro will have to come with better proposes for the growing market.
Thanks for the feedback!
Do you want any Rivals style figures? Do a wishlist for Max and in general. I want a comic Sif, a Quasar would be nice, comic Prof/Smart Hulk in the jump suit, get some (real) Alpha Flight characters (not the new non-Canadian version), and Red Ghost and his Super-Apes need some love.
There are some Marvel Rivals I would absolutely snap up in a heartbeat, like Groot, Loki, Namor, and Hela. I haven't seen the new non-canadian Alpha Flight. I'll have to check it out.
@5POAFigureReviews I agree with those Rivals as getting the Fantastic Four. That's the Alpha Flight where Carol leads them and they're in space.
I love Tom macfalrane this Spider-Man looks like that I bought a $50+ ómnibus I can pay way more for this
I didn't know you were a Godzilla fan
do the wish list!
It’s gonna be $50 and it’s gonna divide the community even more 😂😂😂
To be fair, collectors have been begging (and angry ranting) to get a figure line with more accessories articulation and new sculpts for years….. now that hasbro finally did what collectors have long been asking, collectors are not happy?
Would we rather hasbro cancel the maximum line and go back to the standard 24 dollar figure?
I need a maximum Mr. Fantastic! I'm so tired of the salad fingers Mr fantastic
SALAD FINGERS! LOL that's hilarious.
I'm not gonna pay more than $35!!!
Hard pass for me. Hasbro quality isn’t good enough for a premium price.
Personally I think this maximum line is going to be overpriced and flop, not making it to other characters. Mafex is premium quality compared to anything Hasbro will be able to do with legends IMHO. I can already feel the hate for saying so but it all depends on the price which I say will be $50-$55. Especially now that CT toys are giving Mafex a major run for their customers at legends prices so CT may just end up on top in the end as long as they don't get a cease and desist.
That's exactly my thoughts, Hasbro isn't good on quailty, asking $50 fot this, that's a big question, do I really need this, or I'm fine with the Spideys that I already got?
Just to let you know they already said the next one after Spider-Man it’s going to be hulk
I think there's a leak that there will be hulk which I would love a hulk with 5 piar's of hands
I don't like the big McFarlane eyes on Spider-Man
#hasbro #reusekings Retail scammers.
Naaaahhh, I'll just cop the mafex version. At least I know what I'm getting!!! Hasbro is desperate & and losing their minds. Ollie's is packed to the gills with ledgends star wars wwe etc !!! 👋🏼
Day 188 of asking for BAAAANEEE the musical!!
The only thing I hate about this figure (price aside for now) is that god awful Peter head sculpt
Yeah...it's questionable for sure.
This guys voice is so cartoon character sounding.
Have you considered the possibility that I actually AM a cartoon character? Lol
I'm hugely disappointed and dissuaded by the asking $ for this item. Is hascrap trying to turn away fans.😂😂❤
Your predictions sound so …. Cheap and lazy which I understand hasbro can be but they obviously aren’t here.
Perhaps it's the cynic in me, but "cheap and lazy" is what I expect. Not what I want, mind you, but what I am ready for.
Oh I love videos like this let's goooo
