My most loved is Super7 Slash, an awesome chunk of plastic. Least favorite is NECA cartoon Slash only because the left forearm has come off. It can attach, but can't really bend and pose.
Matt, this is Dre , the 2030 collector. Well to answer the question, "what is the single most loved and least loved figure in my collection", I would have to say for the least loved would be the DC Direct Wonder Woman Series 1 Circe. I bought it to do a Wonder Woman rogues gallery toy photo shoot. This thing would not stand up to save my life. The articulation is limited and weird. i am just glad I only paid $13.00 for it. Now as for my most appreciated figure in my collection, like you it depends on the day, but if I had to choose one It would be my DC Direct Giganta BAF. It hits me in my childhood Saturday morning feels. I remember watching the opening scene of The Super Friends and seeing Giganta, with the LOD running towards the Super Friends. Still brings a smile to my face, and yes I have a type...😁 I have the Justice League Unlimited version too, but it can't stand up to the classic costume. i am hoping that maybe we'll get an update from McFarlane with better articulation, but in the classic look. The runner up to the Giganta BAF is my Marvel Legends Savage She- Hulk from 2021. However, I am hoping for a more Hulker version of this figure, something that resembles her from the recent Avengers comic. I am hoping also, that MaFax, SH Figarts. or Mezco give us a better MCU She-Hulk. As you know the Legends version has some issues.
Most loved is definitely the toybiz sentinel BAF. It was my fav toy growing up while my least loved fig is the katy mcu marvel legend. I loved the movie so I bought the wave but katy's figure had abysmal articulation and I couldn't get her to stand up.
My collection. My most loved figure was the Tobey maguire 6 inch Spider-Man 2 movie figure. I got it around 11 years old off eBay for around 25 dollars, (10-12 years of age) and it was the my favorite figure in my collection. I displayed him, played with him, carried him around, etc. Sadly I lost him years ago, and no idea where he went.
My most loved figure in my display is the Mezco iron fist. My least favorite figure is going to have to be the Thor figure from the Thor and sif 2 pack just because I don't really like the MCU and I try to do my research before buying figures nowadays but in the past I was a bit reckless
For the ziploc bag thing - get acid free (polypropylene) bags. They wont have acid in them that ziploc bags do which can damage/discolor the plastic in the figure.
I think the biggest point in Hasbro's favor with Legends is simply the selection. Although, Mafex makes a lot, and it's really nice that they even made something like the many different Wolverines, but when it comes to the deep dives or complete teams Mafex isn't going to do anything that isn't a sure seller, while Hasbro will at times fill out waves with characters that 9 out of 10 people have never heard of. It's quantity over quality, but for many fans quantity is what they want.
I do have a Facebook account, but I never used any Facebook groups to sell my action figures. Sadly, I sell them individually on eBay, and they sell for less than retail. I appreciate this Q&A video, Big Nerdy!
Most of the complains with Hasbro seems to be fair in my opinion. With their QC issues, lack of accessories, and reuse of body molds and price hikes, I get why a lot of people villify Hasbro but for me, they will always be a big part of my collection. I only collect Marvel figs so having Hasbro's selection, availability and relatively lower price is good. I love collecting all sorts of wacky and unknown characters so having them represented by marvel legends is acceptable for me.
I was thinking the same I was going to get a mayfex scarlet Spider-Man and grey wolverine and be done with those two guys I have been saving and scooting🤘🏽🤙🏽
I used to collect SH Figuarts Star Wars figures. My son enrolled in college. I had to sell them all. I now collect Black Series figures I find at Ollie's. Oh, well. Good stuff cheap!
Yes for not listening to what the fans want, like new figures for Andor including Deena Meero from the ISB, but Hasbro won't do that. But I also think it has something to do with the shows viewership, not a lot people liked it. Now NECA I have come across the Robocop figure twice at a Lexington comic-con, I never once bought it, and i'm still kicking myself for not buying it.
I want a Dedra Meero figure so badly! Love the character, and her white Imperial uniform would look great. They have a female Imperial buck now, so no excuses...
I am personally not a big fan of the imports. I actually think people sometimes delude themselves into thinking they are so great because the imports (Mafex, Mezco, etc.) cost 4 times more than a Marvel Legend or McFarlane Multiverse figure, so in that case they must be 4 times better. But I have never found that to be the case in my own experience. I bought the first Mezco DKR Batman figures and the first time I opened one up I tried to swap out one of the heads and the cape came unraveled and fell off and I had to sew it back together. Then when I moved the arms on the figure the back of his costume split open at the seam. I sewed that up too, but it looked like crap, so I tossed it in a box and haven’t touched it since. I had a couple more of those figures and I sold them both. I also had the first Mafex comic Spider-Man (the one with the darker colors and metallic paint). I thought that was going to be the best Spider-Man figure ever and the last one I would ever need, and then they went and released the new version, the exact same figure with more comic accurate colors. So much for spending the extra money to get the “definitive” Spider-Man. Aside from the colors I didn’t really like that figure anyway. The feet and hands were too small and it just felt flimsy to me. Like it could break very easily. I had a couple of those and when the Marvel Legends Retro Spider-Man came out, I sold both of the Mafex figures. The Legend figure just felt more sturdy in hand and it looked better too, IMO. Plus it had ratcheted joints. The joints on those Mafex figures are going to get really loose over time. Hardly worth paying $100 for when you can get the Marvel Legend for $25 when they first come out.
To answer the question of the title of the video AFTER watching the video: Um...Did I miss the discussion about the hate for Hasbro? I expected a 10 minute diatribe against Hasbro. I still say NO. there is still not enough hate for Hasbro.
While I don't have any Mezco (Not really into the soft goods), I love Mafex, but if your thing is really good posing. If you want to hit the most amazing positions with the figure, such as for photography, nothing really beats SH Figuarts or Figma. They are just so smooth in hand. But the prices on them aren't just insane, they are completely schizophrenic. They'll range anywhere from $30 US to $200 (Japan Web Exclusives) with no discernable reason as to why one is low and another is high. Now if you really want the best posing nothing beats Sen-Ti-Nel. Although they don't have a lot in 1/12 scale. They run towards 7". I do wish I had had the money and chance to grab their 1/12 scale Mospeada Ride Armor/Robotech Cyclones when they came out.
I've been a ML collector since like 2013, but recently I've been buying more Sh figuarts. Despite them being smaller than ML at times. l love to collect them more than ML in recent times
at least they feel they're worth something, right? to me the problem with hasbro (and mattel) is the feeling of the cheap plastic. masterverse figure are terrible in hands, despite having great sculpting and engineering. same with ML.
I'm going to collect new toy lines like, Mythic legions, action force figures, joy toy Mechs, Animal warriors of the kingdom, Cosmic legions, and 1960s Gijoe figures and vehicles.
Favorite figure in my collection would probably have to be the SH Figuarts Full Power Broly, or The WWE entrance greats Kurt Angle. Least favorite is probably the GI Joe classified series Duke that came with the ram cycle. Mostly got it for the bike since it was on clearance. Question though Big Nerdy - when are the collection room tour videos coming back?? I was really enjoying those!
I backed both the dragonfly and the HISS tank but to do that I had to make the hard decision I sold my Motu collection mainly because it's amazing but I really don't have the connection to it like I do with GI Joe
I think you dismissed the SHF figures way too fast. Most SHF figures have drop down legs so it you think they scale a little too small- simply pop the legs down and there you go. I collect all these line’s including Mafex and Black Series and I have no scale issues with SHF. (JMO) thanks for sharing Matt.
Worst figure right now is the GI Joe Classified Falcon figure and for favorite its too tough to name just one figure; if it were i don't think i would as many figures i do... i have said if i had to whittle down my line i'd keep my handful of original 80s figures, all my Mezco figures, and my few Hot Toys. but this is if i had to. i am thinking of boxing up all my MCU Marvel Legends and storing them in the garage - i think for the most part my time collecting MCU figures is done and i've scaled back on comic Marvel figures, but will pick and choose the ones i like when they come out. and i've narrowed my scope on Black Series figures to mainly Manadalorian. i'm still invested in GI Joe Classified, McFarlane Toys DC figures, and cherry pick Mezco, Mafex, SH Figuarts, and Neca figures. i'm back to cherry picking Transformer figures from Hasbro, since entering into the Legacy and Evolution line - but i've scaled back on that line too and waiting for specific characters at this point.
my least favorite figure in my collection is probably the black series jawa, I bought him on a whim and then a month later he was on clearance. my favorite figure is probably my postal dude (from the postal video game series) custom figure, mostly cause he's a one of a kind and I made him, plus he turned out a lot better than I was expecting since he was only my second custom.
Dude! Literally just commented about that broly. Such a good figure. I need to get the armored version as well as the shirted version too. Just don’t wanna pay that aftermarket price tag with all the new pre orders popping up literally every week lol. Hopefully I can find him loose for cheap, or work out a trade or something, particularly the armored one cus I’ve heard really good things about it.
I’m a big collector of Marvel Legends, Black Series, Lightning Collection, Figuarts, Mafex, etc. I mainly get the figures I want or the ones I need to round out a collection. I have LOTS of Spider-Men’s, because he’s my favorite character and there’s the Spider-Verse so they all fit together. I have been trying to restrain myself a little because I don’t have a whole lot of space, but I’m trying to work on that. I also enjoy getting figures so I can make more stop motions because the more characters, the more story possibilities. I just collect the figures that I want to get. That’s all.
Favorite figure would be MP-44 prime. Hey is is a wicked looking Optimus what else can you say. The one I don’t care about at all would be one of the 4 Mandalorian figures I purchased. Just not into Starwars. See how much hate I get for that one. Lol. But same started with Masters of the Universe but stopped quickly. Not enough room to start another collection.
Hey Big Nerdy, how far do you think NECA we'll go with the gargoyles? Do you think they will do side characters from individual episodes like they do with the Ninja turtles line?
I mean, Gargoyles doesn't have the history that TMNT has. So many different iterations, with many different characters. Gargoyles is very limited, in other words.
Another good video as always, bud. Have you thought about selling Nerdzoic t-shirts in your store? I'd love to buy a couple to wear around the office for my pals to see.
I am a recent return to collecting and have been hit hard with the G.I. Joe Classified line. I missed Serpentor & Mindbender. Do you think they will ever reprint those since they were Pulse exclusive?
Wait a min, something you said really raised my eyebrow… MATTEL still has the license to 6” DC action figures??? That’s why Todd can’t make ‘em? I thought they lost everything but the preschool category! Where did you get this info??
I really don't like the ASM figure. I don't believe it's technically a marvel legends figure, but close enough. I think it's just a terrible figure all around... color pallette, articulation... the sculpt is okay, I guess, but it's too soft. I tried to paint/wash it and it simply didn't work. On my favorites side, it's hard to say... I really like the movie Venom figure a lot (I haven't got king in black yet) and the carnage figure from that sane wave, is pretty amazing! But, if I wanted to get a bit more old school, I still really dig my mafex ASM2 figure (especially since I learned that the pink faded spots, can be turned red again, with a simple red sharpie!). Sik
I don't have that crazy hunger for figures anymore, maybe because I collect Lego before figures, therefore I don't believe in grail or things like that, I do hunt a few figures sometimes, but I try to be very chill with this activity, because you can turn very crazy, if you don't learn to get what you can, not what you want.
To answer the question of the title of the video before watching the video: NO. The hate for Hasbro has not gone too far. In fact, the hate for Hasbro has not gone far enough!
My favorite: Alley Viper (but Serpentor is quickly gaining ground) My least favorite: Toy Biz Marvel Legends Loki. The leg is all wonky and he won’t stand up correctly!
I haven't actually bought anything from you but trust me...i'm gonna get to it. But if i get a preorder does it go throw as a sell in that instance or does it wait till you guys get it in? Im just asking cus EE and BBTS do it so differently. Thanks like you grow and you trying to keep up with these vids.
likely an unpopular opinion but in terms of playability i much prefer marvel legends to mafex. Sure mafex looks better, but it's so fragile and so expensive. I feel like i cant really mess with it too much either bc if it breaks that's $100+ down the drain.
Oh good god that old MCU Mk 1 WAS hideous! I think I wound up just GIVING it away. Got my mitts on the new comic Mk 1 yesterday and I couldn't be happier.
Hey, big nerdy, what are your thoughts on the jurassic Park hammond collection. I just got the brachiosaurus, and its sheer size is forcing me to want to return it. I just don't have the space, but should it be one to hold onto??
I love my Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man, currently on the hunt of Animated Series with its mold. Least loved would be Mafex ITSV Miles Morales. Good thing I have the Sentinel one.
My favorite figure is Studio Series 78 Sideswipe and my least favorite figure is Marvel Legends Jimmy Woo from WandaVision. My dog chew him up on accident and I barely cared (well, besides the fact that I payed for him, and even then, only for the BAF part)
Hey Big Nerdy, I'm waffling on whether I actually want to keep my preorder for the McFarlane 89 Batmobile+Batman and Batman movie 6-pack. I've never really liked McFarlane's figures (I prefer 1:12 scale) but I love Keaton Batman and don't know when we'll ever get another 89 Batman figure. Ideally I'd like a MAFEX of him and the first suit Kilmer used in Forever but at the cadence MAFEX releases I might be waiting forever on that. Do you think we might get more older movie versions of Batman from MAFEX any time soon?
I'd say some Transformers are starting to look like Masterpieces without the Masterpiece price. Many passed on MP Jetfire bc the Siege Jetfire looked just as good, SS86 Ultra Magnus looks as good as MP UM. By the time Hasbro gets to Optimus SS86 he is gonna look like MP44.
My issue with Mafex is their figures are over priced for the quality. Those figures should be arond 50 bucks..but some of their John Wick figures are close to 200 and the diamond select ones seem far more sturdy for around 30 to 40 dollars.
I’ll say one thing Hasbro has over Mafex: for team building Marvel Legends is the best. There’s a giant roster of characters both well known and obscure so that you can build out any version of your favorite roster. Mafex has quite a few comic book figures, but no where near the extensive catalog Hasbro has. Plus, Mafex only focuses on well-known characters and teams. You’re not going to see Mafex make a DSpraye or really any lower tier Marvel character. That said, Mafex is my main go to for Marvel figures.
You don't need obscure characters with Bucky Cap Mold, or Kate Bishop mold, that's the problem, you think oh that's a new character, but with a very low quality, and a very outdated mold, that's not good.
Great video as always and super helpful. I'm looking to sell a big part of my collection and never thought about Facebook market. I think my biggest challenge is cataloging everything and all the prices. Kinda overwhelming, but it's going to be a big sale.
For specific characters I'd say yes imports are better. Mafex spider-man figures are way better than anything has has done. However. For the price and sculpt. The thor and wolverine beat mafex versions imo and the 20th anniversary cap definitely is better than that doopy looking mafex cap. So disappointing
I think Hasbro actually wins more than we give credit, the difference between a Mafex and a ML is not worth $70 in some cases, other companys don't really cover all of the stuff (SH only doing MCU figures or spider verse, not comic) and sometimes MAFEX gets the scale all wrong short Thor, skinny CAP from SDCC that they get beat by ML even without considering price.
I'd say an interesting idea for a mixed Dc/Marvel display would be to pair up original characters with their copies by the other company. You know, Darkseid&Thanos, Deathstroke&Deadpool, Flash&Quicksilver etc.
I don’t hate Hasbro, but their inability to distribute their figures is making it hard to like them. I’ve gotta go through 4-5 different retailers to get one complete line.
I have some Mafex, but I usually prefer figuarts (except with Mandalorians) due to Mafex often has QC issues. They have got better over the years, but I find Mafex is still a craps shoot.
I left this "community" on TH-cam who constantly trash Hasbro (sometimes rightfully so) but buy half of what they produce. It's become unironically toxic with certain culty leaders and their paypigs.
I've been slowly coming around to the Mezco and Mafex figures. Marvel Legends are so expensive now. It's hard to justify buying a whole wave when 1) the BAFs are not great and 2) the waves have 2-3 figures that are just slight variants/updates of figures that we saw a year or two ago. I'd rather spend more money and get a figure with better articulation, tons of accessories, and those premium touches like cloth/wire capes, flight stands, and the like. My current favorite Legend is the newly released Drax the Destroyer from the two pack with Moondragon. Both figures look awesome...I had to put them directly on my desk.
Hi big nerdy. I love your channel and learned so much from it. I have the defining moments figures. Might be missing a couple but its almost complete. I saw this video when your uploaded a while back and kept thinking about it and deciding selling it or not. Im 40 and im a big fan of prowrestling and im also an international prowrestler myself. In from Panama city Panama and i have fallen to hard times. And i need the money. So if you want to make an offer im willing to hear it. Hope this message gets to you. Take care my man and God bless you. From Panama with love.
Hasbro wins the competition because sometimes we get a 30 bucks figure way better than some 100 dollars one. A good example is the cyclops from ML that is way better than the Mafex one and is 1 third of the price. Classified is a great example of a premium feel with a 25 dollar figure.
Dude, there is no Marvel Legends figure better than its Mafex counterpart. It's not possible. The original Mafex Cyclops is WAY better than the VHS Legends Cyclops. Just the accessories alone put the Mafex version above the Legends. Now, if you want to make the argument that for $30, the Legends is the better value, I'd give you that. But there is no world where the Legends version is in anyway better than Mafex.

For the ziploc bag thing - get acid free (polypropylene) bags. They wont have acid in them that ziploc bags do which can damage/discolor the plastic in the figure.
Plus you can get them in a variety of sizes from really small (for keeping hands together) to huge for BaFs a deluxe figures.
Is that certain? I thought Ziploc bags were polypropylene.
I use comic book bags
I think the biggest point in Hasbro's favor with Legends is simply the selection. Although, Mafex makes a lot, and it's really nice that they even made something like the many different Wolverines, but when it comes to the deep dives or complete teams Mafex isn't going to do anything that isn't a sure seller, while Hasbro will at times fill out waves with characters that 9 out of 10 people have never heard of. It's quantity over quality, but for many fans quantity is what they want.
The best way to display a collection is in dioramas.
A diorama of your won design and mix and match action figures the way that you find entertaining.
I do the ziplock bag thing, too. Boxes take up too much space.
I do have a Facebook account, but I never used any Facebook groups to sell my action figures. Sadly, I sell them individually on eBay, and they sell for less than retail.
I appreciate this Q&A video, Big Nerdy!
Avoid the fees bro! The Facebook groups are awesome if you figures to sell.
Do you have complete waves to sell bro? If you have, I wouldn't mind buying some of it from you.
Most of the complains with Hasbro seems to be fair in my opinion.

I love collecting all sorts of wacky and unknown characters so having them represented by marvel legends is acceptable for me.
It comes down to the quality vs price ratio, but if cost was even, then yes, Imports will usually be the better figure head to head.
I was thinking the same I was going to get a mayfex scarlet Spider-Man and grey wolverine and be done with those two guys I have been saving and scooting🤘🏽🤙🏽

Hey Big Nerdy! How's your boy doing? When you talked about his "tale of woe" I felt it myself.
Really enjoyed this video. I love playing your videos while I’m working. It’s like a cool nerd news tv thing. Q&As are very entertaining
I'm going to collect new toy lines like, Mythic legions, action force figures, joy toy Mechs, Animal warriors of the kingdom, Cosmic legions, and 1960s Gijoe figures and vehicles.
I also had a "what am I doing?!" moment with Motu origins and cancelled all my preorders. Really glad I did
Favorite figure in my collection would probably have to be the SH Figuarts Full Power Broly, or The WWE entrance greats Kurt Angle. Least favorite is probably the GI Joe classified series Duke that came with the ram cycle. Mostly got it for the bike since it was on clearance.
Question though Big Nerdy - when are the collection room tour videos coming back?? I was really enjoying those!
Mezco Logan is a good Wolverine if you're a fan of his grounded look.
I backed both the dragonfly and the HISS tank but to do that I had to make the hard decision I sold my Motu collection mainly because it's amazing but I really don't have the connection to it like I do with GI Joe

My fav figures are Mafex hush Superman & SHF dragon ball full power Broly he’s massive and super possible fun to fight any and every character
Dude! Literally just commented about that broly. Such a good figure. I need to get the armored version as well as the shirted version too.

Hopefully I can find him loose for cheap, or work out a trade or something, particularly the armored one cus I’ve heard really good things about it.
@@Twoaas same here!!! Both look great but prefer the armored version, the p Bandai releases along w mainline are a lot 😭.
I’m a big collector of Marvel Legends, Black Series, Lightning Collection, Figuarts, Mafex, etc. I mainly get the figures I want or the ones I need to round out a collection. I have LOTS of Spider-Men’s, because he’s my favorite character and there’s the Spider-Verse so they all fit together. I have been trying to restrain myself a little because I don’t have a whole lot of space, but I’m trying to work on that. I also enjoy getting figures so I can make more stop motions because the more characters, the more story possibilities.
I just collect the figures that I want to get. That’s all.
Favorite figure would be MP-44 prime. Hey is is a wicked looking Optimus what else can you say. The one I don’t care about at all would be one of the 4 Mandalorian figures I purchased. Just not into Starwars. See how much hate I get for that one. Lol. But same started with Masters of the Universe but stopped quickly. Not enough room to start another collection.
Talking about figures that will never be made again, that Leia as Jabba's Prisoner is one that will never be made again.
Hey Big Nerdy, how far do you think NECA we'll go with the gargoyles? Do you think they will do side characters from individual episodes like they do with the Ninja turtles line?
I mean, Gargoyles doesn't have the history that TMNT has. So many different iterations, with many different characters. Gargoyles is very limited, in other words.
Another good video as always, bud. Have you thought about selling Nerdzoic t-shirts in your store? I'd love to buy a couple to wear around the office for my pals to see.
I am a recent return to collecting and have been hit hard with the G.I. Joe Classified line. I missed Serpentor & Mindbender. Do you think they will ever reprint those since they were Pulse exclusive?
Awesome video! Some damn good points on collecting various figures from the different lines, Good advice for selling, too! All of it: on point!
You could do Yearbook vs Diorama action scene for display...
Hasblow deserves all the hate they get especially for not making Mola Ram for the Indiana Jones line
For the price I can sometimes get an import here or there but mostly I’m just getting hasbro figures
Wait a min, something you said really raised my eyebrow… MATTEL still has the license to 6” DC action figures??? That’s why Todd can’t make ‘em? I thought they lost everything but the preschool category! Where did you get this info??
I really don't like the ASM figure. I don't believe it's technically a marvel legends figure, but close enough. I think it's just a terrible figure all around... color pallette, articulation... the sculpt is okay, I guess, but it's too soft. I tried to paint/wash it and it simply didn't work. On my favorites side, it's hard to say... I really like the movie Venom figure a lot (I haven't got king in black yet) and the carnage figure from that sane wave, is pretty amazing! But, if I wanted to get a bit more old school, I still really dig my mafex ASM2 figure (especially since I learned that the pink faded spots, can be turned red again, with a simple red sharpie!). Sik
I don't have that crazy hunger for figures anymore, maybe because I collect Lego before figures, therefore I don't believe in grail or things like that, I do hunt a few figures sometimes, but I try to be very chill with this activity, because you can turn very crazy, if you don't learn to get what you can, not what you want.
I love sh figuarts just for there detail and articulation. Just got into Mezco and love them . Keep up the great work
I got my first mafex Friday, (185 Spider-Man) I’m really loving the feel. Might be my new collection
To answer the question of the title of the video before watching the video:
NO. The hate for Hasbro has not gone too far. In fact, the hate for Hasbro has not gone far enough!
Whenever you open up the store I’ll work for you big nerdy!!
My current fave - G1 Soundwave & Buzzsaw
Current least fave - GI Joe Classified Falcon but fixable via various creative solutions.
Good stuff loved Hasbro Transformers stuff
My favorite: Alley Viper (but Serpentor is quickly gaining ground)
My least favorite: Toy Biz Marvel Legends Loki. The leg is all wonky and he won’t stand up correctly!
Man that is a good movie thou
Bruh, go easy on the Solo black series man! Those are great figures!
Not for the ridiculous prices. Todd is giving us more for kess.
I haven't actually bought anything from you but trust me...i'm gonna get to it. But if i get a preorder does it go throw as a sell in that instance or does it wait till you guys get it in? Im just asking cus EE and BBTS do it so differently. Thanks like you grow and you trying to keep up with these vids.
Idk the Mafex brown Wolverine is pretty darn awesome.
likely an unpopular opinion but in terms of playability i much prefer marvel legends to mafex. Sure mafex looks better, but it's so fragile and so expensive. I feel like i cant really mess with it too much either bc if it breaks that's $100+ down the drain.
What mafex figures are you playing with that are that fragile?
Oh good god that old MCU Mk 1 WAS hideous! I think I wound up just GIVING it away. Got my mitts on the new comic Mk 1 yesterday and I couldn't be happier.
Hey, big nerdy, what are your thoughts on the jurassic Park hammond collection. I just got the brachiosaurus, and its sheer size is forcing me to want to return it. I just don't have the space, but should it be one to hold onto??
I love my Amazing Fantasy Spider-Man, currently on the hunt of Animated Series with its mold. Least loved would be Mafex ITSV Miles Morales. Good thing I have the Sentinel one.
Get the ZD Toys MK I iron man great accessories and scales Great with ML
My favorite figure is Studio Series 78 Sideswipe and my least favorite figure is Marvel Legends Jimmy Woo from WandaVision. My dog chew him up on accident and I barely cared (well, besides the fact that I payed for him, and even then, only for the BAF part)
6:46 Dorkside toys closed? When did that happen?
Hey Big Nerdy, I'm waffling on whether I actually want to keep my preorder for the McFarlane 89 Batmobile+Batman and Batman movie 6-pack. I've never really liked McFarlane's figures (I prefer 1:12 scale) but I love Keaton Batman and don't know when we'll ever get another 89 Batman figure. Ideally I'd like a MAFEX of him and the first suit Kilmer used in Forever but at the cadence MAFEX releases I might be waiting forever on that. Do you think we might get more older movie versions of Batman from MAFEX any time soon?
I'd say some Transformers are starting to look like Masterpieces without the Masterpiece price. Many passed on MP Jetfire bc the Siege Jetfire looked just as good, SS86 Ultra Magnus looks as good as MP UM. By the time Hasbro gets to Optimus SS86 he is gonna look like MP44.
I think that probably has a lot more to do with price...
The studio series are smaller and they're no where near as good...but they aren't $300.
My issue with Mafex is their figures are over priced for the quality. Those figures should be arond 50 bucks..but some of their John Wick figures are close to 200 and the diamond select ones seem far more sturdy for around 30 to 40 dollars.
"today we're going to talk about collecting!"
For real Big Nerdy?? Really mixing it up there, big curve ball I wasn't ready for that
Any tips for Australian collectors? A lot of items can be hard to get or don't reach our shores, so shipping costs become a killer !!
Heh, Big Bad Toy Store finally cancelled my Crosshairs Pre-Order... from 2021. Nerdzoic is far more efficient and honest when it comes to such things!
I’ll say one thing Hasbro has over Mafex: for team building Marvel Legends is the best. There’s a giant roster of characters both well known and obscure so that you can build out any version of your favorite roster. Mafex has quite a few comic book figures, but no where near the extensive catalog Hasbro has. Plus, Mafex only focuses on well-known characters and teams. You’re not going to see Mafex make a DSpraye or really any lower tier Marvel character. That said, Mafex is my main go to for Marvel figures.
You don't need obscure characters with Bucky Cap Mold, or Kate Bishop mold, that's the problem, you think oh that's a new character, but with a very low quality, and a very outdated mold, that's not good.
Thank you for making this
No. The hate has not gone far enough.
Did you say Mattel still holds the license to 6 inch DC figures? I thought McFarlane had all that but just chooses to make everything 7 inch?
Great video as always and super helpful. I'm looking to sell a big part of my collection and never thought about Facebook market. I think my biggest challenge is cataloging everything and all the prices. Kinda overwhelming, but it's going to be a big sale.
Are you selling in box or loose figs by any chance? Also, if you don't mind, can you send me a link of your selling post in the future.
I dont think so. That interview Shartimus had with Hasblo was the final nail for me. Theyre just greedy and lazy
I have a question... Will you ever carry Heroquest at the store?
For specific characters I'd say yes imports are better. Mafex spider-man figures are way better than anything has has done. However. For the price and sculpt. The thor and wolverine beat mafex versions imo and the 20th anniversary cap definitely is better than that doopy looking mafex cap. So disappointing
I think Hasbro actually wins more than we give credit, the difference between a Mafex and a ML is not worth $70 in some cases, other companys don't really cover all of the stuff (SH only doing MCU figures or spider verse, not comic) and sometimes MAFEX gets the scale all wrong short Thor, skinny CAP from SDCC that they get beat by ML even without considering price.
Graded comics are speculated scam imo. Its plastic and fluffery unless its like the first appearance of Spidey/Batman/Superman
I'd say an interesting idea for a mixed Dc/Marvel display would be to pair up original characters with their copies by the other company. You know, Darkseid&Thanos, Deathstroke&Deadpool, Flash&Quicksilver etc.
I don’t hate Hasbro, but their inability to distribute their figures is making it hard to like them. I’ve gotta go through 4-5 different retailers to get one complete line.
What would you do if you break a old figure
Agreed 100% on Mezco spandex, it looks terrible.
I have some Mafex, but I usually prefer figuarts (except with Mandalorians) due to Mafex often has QC issues. They have got better over the years, but I find Mafex is still a craps shoot.
"has the hate gone too far on Hasbro"
NO
you going to have the mcfarlane batman 6 pack?
the truth is windowless has caused my to buy 2 black and 3 legends thats it
I left this "community" on TH-cam who constantly trash Hasbro (sometimes rightfully so) but buy half of what they produce. It's become unironically toxic with certain culty leaders and their paypigs.
I've been slowly coming around to the Mezco and Mafex figures. Marvel Legends are so expensive now. It's hard to justify buying a whole wave when 1) the BAFs are not great and 2) the waves have 2-3 figures that are just slight variants/updates of figures that we saw a year or two ago. I'd rather spend more money and get a figure with better articulation, tons of accessories, and those premium touches like cloth/wire capes, flight stands, and the like.
My current favorite Legend is the newly released Drax the Destroyer from the two pack with Moondragon. Both figures look awesome...I had to put them directly on my desk.
Is it hate for hasbro or just wanting them to do better with a line we love ?
Hasbro is ok with lower prices, but with higher prices, they turned in a greedy company.
@@LosMSR it’s always hit or miss
Yes, they are...but that's as much a factor of hasbro being trash as it is mafex being good.
Does anyone know where these black series re-release are?
A line of BS. He de-listed the related videos, but the internet never forgets.
@@lhd2088 ah for real? Lmao damn
Hi big nerdy. I love your channel and learned so much from it. I have the defining moments figures. Might be missing a couple but its almost complete. I saw this video when your uploaded a while back and kept thinking about it and deciding selling it or not. Im 40 and im a big fan of prowrestling and im also an international prowrestler myself. In from Panama city Panama and i have fallen to hard times. And i need the money. So if you want to make an offer im willing to hear it. Hope this message gets to you. Take care my man and God bless you. From Panama with love.
Imports are overrated. I love my Mafex Magneto. But is he that much Better than My Hasbro one? No.
what happened to the black series re-releases?
Hasbro wins the competition because sometimes we get a 30 bucks figure way better than some 100 dollars one. A good example is the cyclops from ML that is way better than the Mafex one and is 1 third of the price. Classified is a great example of a premium feel with a 25 dollar figure.
Dude, there is no Marvel Legends figure better than its Mafex counterpart. It's not possible. The original Mafex Cyclops is WAY better than the VHS Legends Cyclops. Just the accessories alone put the Mafex version above the Legends. Now, if you want to make the argument that for $30, the Legends is the better value, I'd give you that. But there is no world where the Legends version is in anyway better than Mafex.
Grown men playing with their toys😂😂😂😂😂.
They’ve stopped with focusing on quality that’s why they getting their butts kicked by imports.
favorite figure is Mezco Iron fist... least fave AEW series 1 young bucks
Hasbro is overpriced for the poor and lazy effort on the figures they continue to put out.
This blame is to both the toy companies and some people because the greed of money.
Got any of those promo codes? 👀
I’m perfectly fine with marvel legends
And I sell a lot of my figures on Mercari
