Hey Justin just wanted to say thank you for always putting out such high quality videos as often as you do. Even if it's a figure or statue a don't care about I always tune into your videos because watching them makes my day a little better! So yeah thank you for all that you do!
Even though I would have loved it if the figure came with more accessories like maybe a long laser effect. The detailing is outstanding. The colouring even is amazing 😍
If you repaint the armor, may I suggest trying contrast paint by games workshop, or Vallejo. That armor is prime material for it. (It's semi translucent, so would stain everything blue, but letting the silver drybrushing show through)
@@JustinsCollection #sellzsjltonetflix remember when you thought the snydercut would never happen?? And now look at you reviewing Darksied from the Snydercut. 2/14 is a push to get this IP licensed to Netflix.
I am also planning to repaint mine. He has a really strong presence although the joints in the knees and feet aren't tight on mine, I can still get him to stand. Regardless of the QC issues, I'm still glad I got him.
Justin. Perhaps after some tweaking, would you be able to do a follow-up video of this figure when it has been modified into a more screen accurate representation of Darkseid? I would be genuinely curious to see how much better the figure could look with appropriate colors and paint applications. Have a tremendous day.
Even though the Snyderverse has been officially axed, Darkseid was so freaking badass in the Snydercut that I've been dying for a Hot Toys 1/6 scale figure of him, I'm very irritated they never made one, and I'm sure they never will. Sideshow has some cool statues, but I'm not really a statue guy, and the best ones are WAY out of my price range anyway, almost $2,000 for them. I discovered this third party figure recently and was so stoked, but after watching your video here, at $330, it just isn't worth it imo, no matter how much I want Darkseid in my collection. 1/6 scale figure collecting is an expensive hobby, so I just won't spend that kind of money on anything but the best. It's a decent figure, but for a Hot Toys price, I expect every single aspect of the figure to be on par with HT, and this figure just isn't, not even close. Max I'd pay for this, considering the small amount of different accessories and body parts, no display stand(come on, really?), lack of seamless joints(I just can't go back ever since HT started making them), questionable quality, and inconsistent paintwork, is half what they're charging for it. Thanks for the video!
I just watched some Darkseid scenes on TH-cam. The armor is black with some metallic. You might have mixed up with the comic book look. The movie itself was toned very cool so it might have originally be navy blue but the tone made it look pretty much black
The comic and other works are blue.... but Recalf.Decaf is correct, I even pulled up photos from the movie... if there is a blue tone it is very faint. So to be movie accurate it is pretty much correct as it is. Remember he changed things all the time about the characters in the movies and did not stay totally true..... aka martian manhunter....
The dry brushing for the omega beams headsculpt doesn't bother me because I can chalk it up to the light from the fire but in general, it's pretty off-putting
Again thanks for the review. I would like to see a short review with how this figure looks after you dry brush it. Will you try to paint the armor as well? Hey maybe touch up the fire in his eyes too.
It’s pretty good as a starter figure. It’s going to need someone to fix it to bring it up to it’s full potential. Paint and detailing the skin and coloring the armor correctly. A side from that. This is a really good figure. Once someone does the work to fix the issue including the face and body being different colors. This is good going to great! Fantastic video as always. I love the changes you made for 2023. Intro looks nice and this new color is white or light beige is a nice clean look. It’s like a studio look. I comment on your sense of humor frequently. I think most of us appreciate the bad humor. I can’t see watching a video with out it. It’s so bad it’s good lol! It’s almost enough to bring someone over to the, …….wait for it………………….,Darkseid 😂!
I was hoping you put him next to Hot Toys Thanos. Darkseid should be taller than him so i wanted to see how he scales next to the bigger figures. Maybe you can do a update size comparison video
He is. I only do comparisons that make sense to the lineup. Iron Man against Batman is a no as likely nobody would display them together. If you are getting Darkseid you likely have the league, if you also have Thanos you know how they scale with him
@@JustinsCollection i respectly disagree. I am planning doing a master set putting DC and Marvel heroes on one side, all together fighting DC and Marvel villains. Darkseid and Thanos Would be the biggest atractions, they might be awesome side on side. (Heroes and Villains from movies and tv series)
Excellent review, as always Justin! Just want to chime in on the coloring issue/debate. In my opinion, the only representation of this Darkseid that is accurate, color wise, is the 1/4 WETA statue. They actually touched on the issue of which color to go with in one of their earlier videos going over their statue. In some scenes it's very grey, and in others there are hints of blue/purple. I think the McFarlane and Queen studios versions are way too saturated in their choices of blue/purple whereas WETA nailed it perfectly! This 108 figure is more in line with the colors of the 1/10 Iron Studios Darkseid, which is almost entirely gray. If I could get a 1/6 Darkseid that matched WETA's 1/4 one, I'd be thrilled! Check out a few reviews of that statue to see what I mean. I have one, myself, and it is breathtaking in how intricate the coloring of his armor actually is. Plus, WETA was the visual effects company Snyder used for his JL cut, so I think they'd naturally know which colors are most accurate.
I'm on the fence with this, you mentioned a more accurate version, is this something you know is confirmed or a possibility? And any ideas who is making it? Thanks
I love it, but wish I knew how big it was in person. The damn thing is the size of my 1/4 NECA figs and doesn’t fit in the Detolfs with my 1/6 JL figs!
@@JustinsCollection Thanks for the heart, can't wait for you to review the Clone Wars Obi wan!!! From what I can tell it's an amazing figure and definitely belongs in your collection!!!
Hi Justin trying to figure if I should pull the trigger on this one or not, I just want to know if the main body feels cheap and hollow or is it a solid figure? thank you in advance , great review!
I wouldn’t say cheap and hollow it has weight to it but it doesn’t feel statuesque either. If the only metric for quality is measured by touching it then maybe skip, not sure
Im so mixed on the figure. I LOVE Darkseid and would like a 1/6 scale rep for my displays. I love the head, and parts of this...but idk. I may just dump the cash into getting the Prime One Statue
I don't know if you'll see this comment, but you should do a comparison vid or with Thanos and Darkseid, or like an Avengers and JLA Hot toys comparison
Justin have you seen the weta darkseid on throne. It’s currently on sale at GameFly (of all places) and it looks beautiful!!! Will you be picking him up and reviewing?
I don't think he's worth the price point. The knee and ankle joints are not that strong for how top heavy he is. The plastic used to make him is like an oversized Marvel Legend figure. I also noticed, when I got mine, the paint application was off between the body and head. I think I'll take your suggestion about dry brushing, and maybe look into painting his armor. I was disappointed with this one, if I'm being honest.
Just started getting into figures (picked up my first ever hot toys last week!) so I have no idea about this - are 3rd party unlisenced figures legal? How do the companies get away with selling IP, actors' likenesses and whatnot?
My question is about a figure you reviewed about a year ago. But what body did you replace your wrestler spider man with? And how did you switch over the clothes, because it appears that all his clothing besides the sweater is glued on. Just wondering because I wanted to switch over to a better body. Also what body would you recommend?
Is it just me or are big baddies always just standing there? Darkseid is the perfect example because he will just stand with his hands behind his back. Same with Thanos though. Almost like creators think making their villains more mobile makes them less intimidating.

I so agree! I don’t buy unless Justin has a review. I miss out on some figures but better safe than sorry.
Does the body feel hollow and cheap or is it solid?

I like it!
Plz Justin make a video of you upgrading this bad boy, I’d love to see a before and after! ❤️ great content as always!
Can do!
@@JustinsCollection pretty plz!!
Wow love this new intro! :) cant wait to finish this video!
Thank you!
Beautiful. This is spot-on to the CGI Design
Legit
I'd paint the armor with Tamiya Clue Blue in order to not lose those washes and dry brush details
Nice! But I can add that back on after!
I really wanted this figure when I first heard about it. However I’m glad I passed on it.
Fair enough!
@@JustinsCollection definitely can’t wait to see your review on the Snydercut Steppenwolf figure
If you repaint the armor, may I suggest trying contrast paint by games workshop, or Vallejo. That armor is prime material for it. (It's semi translucent, so would stain everything blue, but letting the silver drybrushing show through)
I was going to do my own silver dry brushing tbh
“Failed DC universe” More like WB Execs hijacked and destroyed DC universe.

Not perfect but still a dope figure imo

It is a statue however

Hello Justin is this released already? Because in toys wonderland it says it’s still in pre order.
It is released in batches
Thank you Justin

All good, I still like him even though he's not perfect
Any chance you'll bust out the airbrush and spray the armor with a nice coat of clear blue?
100%
hello Justin, Justin do you know what battery type/model for the head and how many battery? thank you in advance and for your reply always
Not sure sorry!

They just make it and risk it
Same here I’ve started about 6 months ago. 3 hot toys and about 6 3rd party toys. 3rd party toys are worth it.
You know I would love to see a hot toy’s ZSJL steppenwolf
That would be cool
it could look better, maybe I'll try to get it but there are some gaps that pretty bad and definitely it looks awful without the armor

Looks like the Darkseid from the black and white cut
Legit
Justice Is Gray figures wouldn't be a bad idea 🤔
True!
Take a nice long look at that magnificent bastard. We'll never see him in action. He'll be forever walking the hall of Apokolips to ready the armada.
IKR I wish we had!
Is this a reupload, I could have sworn I saw this video like an hour ago
Yes I forgot to add in the articulation segment
I want this one.
Nice!
Wait, is there another Darkseid being made by someone else?
Nope
Love the videos, just please stop apologizing for every joke or critique
Nah I'm good thanks, I'll make my videos however I see fit
don't mind the color...better than no figure at all
Oh ok
justin i don’t know if you will see this but please never stop making puns i all of them

Looks great. Can't stand. 6.5/10

Pretty steep price for very little. The head sculpt is the only thing that seems worthwhile. Seems like another war story spawn situation
You're paying for the new and huge body
