“I am the rocks along the enteral shore, crash against me and be broken!” My all time greatest Apocalypse quote . Just some of the most gangsta shit to say to an enemy 😂
Hahaha "not for kids at $40" that part!!! Can't wait for mine to come. I always wanted this figure from the show. Hopefully they'll give us the 3 other horsemen to go along with ArcAngel.
I like it. I understand what he's saying about this figure, price, wash, etc. But to me it looks better than the select. The select headsculpt is not the way apocalypse looks in my minds eye and to me that's worse than anything that was pointed out with this figure. As for price, I'll just wait for it to go on sale.
Me and Dave are on the same page about the lack of paint details on retros. He’s too expensive to not add some detailing. This kinda thing, combined with the lack of window, is why 23 is my last year actively collecting Marvel Legends. They’re pissin on my leg and telling me it’s raining 🌧
Marvel Select big figures are quite massive. The Select Apocalypse is 8.5” tall, the Marvel Legends Apocalypse buck is just over 8” tall. It’s not quite the ML Anniversary Hulk versus DST Immortal Hulk disparity, but the DST Apocalypse- based on the released measurements- will be noticeably larger than the ML.
Eh good review but I actually prefer the color scheme on this rather than the MS. This one goes with the Animated Series better imo. As a general apocalypse the MS is good but fitting with the Animated series not so good.
I gotta say. Everyone complaining about the lack of shading are pretty aware that it’s not apart of the VHS line. Get him while you can because, he’s not gonna be peg warming
Given the animated colors, but the retro packaging, I have a hypothesis. This was meant to be a VHS release, but when sales of that line didn't quite hit like retro packaging releases are, they nixed the cel shading and put him on a card. Would go a long way towards explaining why there's so much less paint and detail on the body, plus the TV show colors vs the OG figure's blue. The Beast release is weird too. Makes me think that the VHS line isn't long for this world.
@@Tarriq Storm is trash. Her head weighs more than her body and her gummy legs make her very hard to keep standing. She should've been pin less. Her hair needed to be hollow for balancing.
I think the plain plastic looks fine, apocalypse only had the two colours on his body. The major flaw with this figure is the little rectangular shape of skin on the top of his head on one of my heads it sits too high and exposes a strip of blue plastic. Fortunately my screaming head doesn't have this issue but look out for it if you get one
I'm actually fine with the paint because it does represent the early version in the animated series. However, the figure absolutely needed new hands to have the bars on them then. I would have taken those over the new gun, but both should have happened for the money.
So I just grabbed this figure about 3 weeks ago as I am new to the hobby. I agree he is a blend of comic book/real face and animated (in the body). I like the combination as he can be used for either or in somebody's set.
Wait... those blast effects are from the recent Transformers trilogy (Siege, Earth Rise, and Kingdom). I wonder if the canon was repurposed from that line to this?
The part that bothers me the most is the blue hinge in the knees. I just shows cheapness and zero effort. All they had to do was cast the hinge in the purple plastic and paint the knee hinge to match the blue. This is not a cheap figure either. The lack of paint is astounding and not painted well either. Nail on the head Dave, it looks cheap. Hasbro raised the price of all their figures, but still makes them based on an old budget. Its seems to be profit over quality every time now. Thank goodness Marvel Select is making their version of Apocalypse.
Thanks for the review David. I truly appreciate your effort. Although not comparable, I believe my money is best spent on the MS version when it comes out. From the digital rendering it looks like there is more value for my money for the Select. Now that I brought up digital rendering, I am curious to know if you think that because MS is in the big bubble cards, they have to be more accurate (a lesson they recently learned in the closed moth Beta) then ML? To be completely sincere, I really wished the Haslab would have been the Big A this year.
I’m excited for the figure because it’ll go well with the theme I’m building I’m really tempted to keep it carded as a display piece. I agree what you say about a wash just to bring those details out
If it continues to be true, there is nothing wrong with continuing to point out that the value isn't there. I'm actually surprised they didn't go even lower effort on this figure since they know how many people want it.
Yes, David should always speak the truth and not deny what he sees right before him, cheap, low effort, insults to loyal fans and customers, adult collectors.
Here, 20 months later to say this was on sale at BBTS for $26 so I grabbed one because I sold the last BAF and the Select is basically a statue and 97' hype.
I have to say I think this is the best Apocalypse Hasbro has done so far!! I absolutely love this guy! Though I think you’re right about the paint! I think that about all Marvel legends these days! They still don’t touch the way Toybiz used to paint their figs!
Great review 😅 even though I have this figure basically two of them the aoa and the baf but I like this one aswell 😅. I will be getting the select version but the headsculpt seems a bit dull to me can’t wait to get in hand. ❤
Not crazy about the animated colors, but I’ll definitely be hunting that weapon attachment. If the portraits are different I’ll definitely scoop those up as well. Whole hog*
THIS IS WHY CEL SHADING SUCKS. It will ALWAYS cause discrepancies. The problem isn’t this apocalypse, it is the rest of the animated series line. It was a bad strategic move from the beginning Throw out the Cel shading! This apocalypse rogue and gambit are better representations than the Cel shaded figures
40 bucks for what once was a BAF, I don't mind. I'm glad there is no cell shading. I pass on all of those figures. I don't care for the lack of washes.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour I stopped buying complete waves just to get the BAF. I just wait a couple of years for Hasbro to release the completed figure for much less and better paint apps than BAF. $40 is much better than $120+.
"How cheap can we make it?" Honest to god Dave that seems to be the misison statement over at the Marvel Legends team office. Higher price, lower quality and effort but full of excuses and justifications. If theyre gonna skimp on paint then at lease throw in plenty of accessories. Like the funky Claw accessory that came with Achangel.
You got a whole cannon hand with blast effects and an extra head, that hasn't come with any other figure, what are you talking about!? I swear you people just want to complain.
@@tyestancil2783 WOW an entire new gun accessory?? No way, glad that for $40 I get 1 entirely new accessory. This is exactly what I mean by lowered effort. Folks like you justify these things. How is is that AoA Apocalypse came with similar amount of stuff for a whole $10 less? Like do you hear yourself? Dont tell me that oh its a retro release so its pricier cause thats just sad.
@@Jakehatred666 Maybe you forgot, but this is a retooled BAF that goes for way more than $40, and you get new parts. You literally mention the claw arm with Archangel (that you could also use with this fig also)Also you get a new extra head.40 is a steal compared to what the BAF goes for. Ungrateful.
@@tyestancil2783 yeah the AoA Apocalypse was also a retool of the baf figure and that was say it with me now, $30 which was a perfect sweet spot. Asking for $40 and having the only paint relegated to just the 2 heads while the rest of the figure is just plain base plastic is a joke. Im not gonna show any gratitude to a company (the marvel team specifically) that continues to lower their own standards and set this precedent that WE the consumer should take what we can get. Meanwhile Gi Joe, Star Wars, Transformers and Power Rangers (all hasbro properties) are all getting so much love and attention and easily worth the price increase. Make it make sense. Cause at this point its just the fan base at large lying to themselves that the way Marvel Legends is operating is ok.
I highly recommend that people mainly stop trusting that "Hasbro will make better things later", because they have been making worse things and worse versions in so many cases now. This idea about selling things preemptively and then not being able to get them again seems to have a dangerous track record. Hasbro also messed up the old Star Wars tiny 3.75 or 4 inch inch figures originally, some of which looked really nice, then Hasbro really took over and started cheaping out again, making tiny looking trash figures which led me to quit long ago, then they came back with some cool stuff, then went crap, and now seem to be doing it again!
Funny thing. When I first found him in store he was priced at £25, so I grabbed him. At the checkout the guy couldn't decide if it was £25 or £45 but after a minute he let me go with £25. Next day the price changed to £45. Oh well 😁
Yeah he's an okay release, definitely a "get him at a discount" kind of figure. I feel like the problem with the paint job or lack thereof is that when there is paint they don't go all the way and we end up with the cel shaded X-Men figures that look awful tbh. And then when we just get molded plastic with little paint, even that is a bit scuffed and people complain that there isn't enough paint to justify the price. Now I raise this question, if they did put more paint on this guy and it was ugly, would that justify the price even if it looks bad?
@@Synapse928 many times I look at MS and don't like it's style compared to ML, apoc has this. Plus the articulation. Accessories sound good tho and the comic colors, so I may go for it instead.
Great review Dan I didn't know this was a preorder until I looked at the upload date of your video. I've been wanting too beef up my villains collection and thought about several characters like Rhino, Scorpion and others but I'm liking Apocalypse a lot so much that he's going to be my next villain thanks to your review.
I like your style bro you’re very positive and happy vibed guy . Dont mind plz , I guess u should shave ur hair off you will look way younger and more badass that way .
Kinda hoping they re release this figure with a more comic based look, with the dark blue and white With the same accessories Basically, this exact figure, worh a repaint. Then I’ll buy it even for the $40
There's no price on Honesty,and this was an honest review about how you feel.your not bigging it up for the sake of it and lately im seeing more honest figure reviews from other TH-camrs and weather I agree or not is irrelevant to the reviewers honesty.Keep it up.
Hasbro getting cocky here, I almost had enough And i agree on all the points you stated That’s i think all people in mind right now If this continues, NECA, MCF, SUPER7 will strive take the high spot
Dude, not defending Hasbro but Super7 has the worst value in the toy game lol. Great figures but horrendously overpriced. They should be embarrassed about chafing those prices for figures like Sorcerer Mickey
@@juansanchez209 not all like that , even though that’s still debatable and definitely your opinion, In one case they still provide many alt heads, hands and weapons
This is my go to for the BEST and HONEST reviews of these Legends. Appreciate you Dave 👍 helping us save our $$ on mediocre repaints from Ha$bro. Cheers DMB 🍻😏
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour hahha fair lol the retro is just lighter in color, and something with the arms changed. I’m torn! Hahaha I guess the cheaper is better in this scenario!
I really don’t know if Legends are worth it anymore. Just like the Knull/Venom pack. Figures are ok but no way worth the price. But hey that’s fine just have to pick and choose.
100% agree with your criticisms. I was on the fence and had pre-ordered it because I don't have the BAF version. The day I secured my pre-order for the Select Apocalypse I cancelled this pre-order. And after your review and one other, I am fully satisfied with that decision. It's got one leg in Retro/Legends and one leg in VHS Cell Shaded. And it just doesn't work for me. The lack of paint details from the neck down is just lazy and makes it look like cheap plastic. And these ain't cheap! Happy for those that like him and want him for their collection, but it's a pass for me. Honest reviews like this really help people like me decide what's worth the $$$ in my collection.
@@cdubbart MS has really improved in articulation from their Hulk to their Titanium Man and now I have great hope this one will move great too. Legends isn't always amazing articulation, figures such as Thanos or Rhino are pretty immobile so I'm not sure that this would really make a difference to pick over. The paint, sculpt, size and price alone should really carry the Marvel Select.
I hope we get this exact figure again but in blue/dark blue and with shading to represent the classic comic appearance. It's basically just how he looked in early comic appearances, but purple.
Kinda disappointing. I did say that I would probably get him for that cartoon look in the display, but damn does the Select looks a bit better. Honestly. But I really like the arm gun. It's difficult, I'm still thinking and deciding.
I got this Apocalypse on pre-order, and i just bought every animated X-men figure that was available to purchase....Morph, Storm, Jean Grey, Jubilee, Wolverine, Mr. Sinister. My plan is start an animated section of my collection...this Apocalypse, all the cell shaded figures (all x-men including the amazing friends iceman, Spiderman and Venom). Even though the Apocalypse isn't cell shaded, i feel like he goes better with the animated figures because of his colors. He's just does not have cell shading.
I prefer the comic book color instead. Okay for $30 figure, but not $40 price tag. Interesting size comparison. Way bigger than Wolverine but looks like a dwarf next to Hulk? Is that accurate? And depending on the artists, I thought he might to more bulkier?
Totally torn, too. Like it and hate it. I paid £45.99 for this (!!!!). I really do like the swap parts (heads, hands and gauntlet/cannon with effects) as these are new, and the basic figure is cool. BUT...the paintwork here is unforgivable, cheap and shoddy. The heads do not match the body: these are vaguely metallised and have a decent paintwash, but are a completely different shade of blue. If you want a parts pack for the BAF Apocalypse, this is your guy. But overall, this looks like they stopped making an effort after the heads were done. This is not 'animated style' or 'retro', it's a cheap & nasty repaint of a cool BAF, and Hasbro just couldn't be bothered to match head and body. But hey, this was only nearly £50, so what do we expect. So, a spot on review from you, my friend. I honestly can't say that I 100% regret buying this, but it is a brutal screw job.
I pre-ordered but canceled. Not worth the price. I might pick him up on clearance. At least they didn't ruin the figure with that half-assed fake "cel shading". What a disgrace the animated line is, I can't believe they are so terrible. If I get more space, I'll shell out for the Mondo line. The Hasbro versions just aren't even worth the shelf space, let alone the money.
"NO, Mommy, I don't want to dance on stage!“ I burst out laughing. Great review. Totally torn on this fig. Want it because it fits with the animated series. Don't want it because of all the reasons you pointed out.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour most definitely and I can have my rogue, Storm, arc angel action figures displayed around him, like there there flying (including jean grey as well) 😂.
Totally agree about the paint. This seems to be a trend on recent legends. RHINO and Lizard have amazing head sculpts with great details, but the rest of the figs are just basic.

The paint and sculpt is clearly there for the MS, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that only the ML has the bulk to fit into a 90’s X-Men display.

I’ll try with the AOA Apocalypse. I’m guessing it might be too small.
I gotta say. Everyone complaining about the lack of shading are pretty aware that it’s not apart of the VHS line. Get him while you can because, he’s not gonna be peg warming
VHS or Comic, either version should have far more shading on the body.

100% agree with your criticisms. I was on the fence and had pre-ordered it because I don't have the BAF version. The day I secured my pre-order for the Select Apocalypse I cancelled this pre-order. And after your review and one other, I am fully satisfied with that decision. It's got one leg in Retro/Legends and one leg in VHS Cell Shaded. And it just doesn't work for me. The lack of paint details from the neck down is just lazy and makes it look like cheap plastic. And these ain't cheap! Happy for those that like him and want him for their collection, but it's a pass for me. Honest reviews like this really help people like me decide what's worth the $$$ in my collection.
Bro thats an awesome Apocalypse impression
He's also in X-Men vs street fighter game
$10 more than the Select and the Select looks superior imo. That's the one to put on the shelf.
I like the select colors & paint better, but the articulation & head sculpts on the ML are superior to me.
@@cdubbart MS has really improved in articulation from their Hulk to their Titanium Man and now I have great hope this one will move great too. Legends isn't always amazing articulation, figures such as Thanos or Rhino are pretty immobile so I'm not sure that this would really make a difference to pick over. The paint, sculpt, size and price alone should really carry the Marvel Select.
@@ingloriousmax the face on the select ruins it. Just can't get past that strange face.
@@jonathandevereaux298 But the cheap looking plastic for this Legends Apocalypse doesn't? 0 paint that will be $40, thanks.
I hope we get this exact figure again but in blue/dark blue and with shading to represent the classic comic appearance. It's basically just how he looked in early comic appearances, but purple.
Welcome to Hasbro they repaint everything :)
Phenomenal review Dave I love it big fan!
Thanks brother!
If I buy him I will probably take a sharpie and add cell shading although that’s sad he have to do that 😢
That could make a god improvement
Kinda disappointing. I did say that I would probably get him for that cartoon look in the display, but damn does the Select looks a bit better. Honestly. But I really like the arm gun. It's difficult, I'm still thinking and deciding.
I'm getting 2 Select 1 Of this because I only have the AOA version and not the old build a figure which I think looked better but is less affordable.
I'll wait for the select version
My favorite character
That was a great impression!
That’s dude
I got this Apocalypse on pre-order, and i just bought every animated X-men figure that was available to purchase....Morph, Storm, Jean Grey, Jubilee, Wolverine, Mr. Sinister. My plan is start an animated section of my collection...this Apocalypse, all the cell shaded figures (all x-men including the amazing friends iceman, Spiderman and Venom). Even though the Apocalypse isn't cell shaded, i feel like he goes better with the animated figures because of his colors. He's just does not have cell shading.
Definitely better with the animated line!
Really wanted this, but think I'll wait for the Select to go full hog
Lol good call
I prefer the comic book color instead. Okay for $30 figure, but not $40 price tag.
Interesting size comparison. Way bigger than Wolverine but looks like a dwarf next to Hulk? Is that accurate? And depending on the artists, I thought he might to more bulkier?
I guess since one of his powers is to change size he can be however big to want him to be.
Full boar, I believe you mean ;)
Totally torn, too. Like it and hate it. I paid £45.99 for this (!!!!).
I really do like the swap parts (heads, hands and gauntlet/cannon with effects) as these are new, and the basic figure is cool.
BUT...the paintwork here is unforgivable, cheap and shoddy. The heads do not match the body: these are vaguely metallised and have a decent paintwash, but are a completely different shade of blue.
If you want a parts pack for the BAF Apocalypse, this is your guy. But overall, this looks like they stopped making an effort after the heads were done. This is not 'animated style' or 'retro', it's a cheap & nasty repaint of a cool BAF, and Hasbro just couldn't be bothered to match head and body. But hey, this was only nearly £50, so what do we expect.
So, a spot on review from you, my friend. I honestly can't say that I 100% regret buying this, but it is a brutal screw job.
Man it's such a shame, Hasbro were so close to a good figure!
Lol was that an overwatch reference lol
I think I am going pick apocalypse up in the LA comic con
I pre-ordered but canceled. Not worth the price. I might pick him up on clearance.
At least they didn't ruin the figure with that half-assed fake "cel shading". What a disgrace the animated line is, I can't believe they are so terrible. If I get more space, I'll shell out for the Mondo line. The Hasbro versions just aren't even worth the shelf space, let alone the money.
"NO, Mommy, I don't want to dance on stage!“ I burst out laughing. Great review. Totally torn on this fig. Want it because it fits with the animated series. Don't want it because of all the reasons you pointed out.
Hey glad you enjoyed the reviews brother!
BAF still heavyweight champ!
I like this figure, maybe I’m asking for to much. I wish he was bigger honestly.
A giant Apocalypse would be fun!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour most definitely and I can have my rogue, Storm, arc angel action figures displayed around him, like there there flying (including jean grey as well) 😂.
I think the Marvel Select version is better, he’s bigger, and ten dollars less
The age of apocalypse is my favorite. But this is badass😛👍
If I didn't own the BAF Apocalypse from years ago I would buy this
I think I will stick with my BAF, kinda have to after spending almost 100 bucks for the head to finish it.
BAF is the best!
Easy pass. Tx 4 t rev
Select better, this is great if you get a animated Cable to vs
Totally agree about the paint. This seems to be a trend on recent legends. RHINO and Lizard have amazing head sculpts with great details, but the rest of the figs are just basic.
Why do you have him twerking g the whole video???
If it’s good enough for she-hulk!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour hhahahhaaaa,true
I’ve been looking forward to this video! Pre ordered mine purely for the nostalgia 😅
All that and it’s about $10 too much
Agreed!
Dude 40$ is good rn, in canada just any figure (big figs are more) cost 55$
