I said it before and I'll say it again: I know exactly what Mythic Legions are and what they aren't 🤷 Same with McF, Super7, Mezco, etc. You voiced your options on your platform, so if somebody wants to take offense about you voicing your opinion on your platform then that's on them 🤦♂️ If people seek out offense then they will find something to be offended by
All that matters if you enjoy WHAT you purchase with YOUR money, if others have negative opinions it shouldn't matter so long as you enjoy their products. You criticize what you care about in hopes that they improve since you still BUY their products. 👍💯
😂 I don't expect him to but he also doesn't have to make an a$$ out of himself publicly either saying such bias and unjust statements I never said anything negative about that guy
My argument was never about "enough" articulation I could take great photos as well many of us can. I never said enough to look good standing stoic with great lighting. I said they have less articulation than the majority of other lines available, which is true, and that truth bothered him that much.
@@ArticulatedNinja Well, you said a lot of stuff... it was kinda click-bait-y, but I don't blame you. Thats the point of youtube. The whole thing is very entertaining and I appreciate you stirring the pot with your opinions. The 4H following can be very cult-like, but it's all just passionate collectors with a difference in opinions. His opinion apparently bothered you enough to make a whole video on it.
Trevor is one of those “positive” POS that take shots at creators when they hold a different opinion about toys he likes. It’s really ridiculous they preach positivity about toys but shit on RU-vidrs they have disagreements about toys with. I guess that’s being “positive”. 😂😂
I feel so conflicted buying Mythic/Cosmic Legions for the exact reasons you listed. They look great, but they're a little to expensive for the articulation. They could afford to improve the figures without jacking up their prices. Some people are too brand loyal. You can like something and still have criticisms. Thank you for sharing this message, Ninja.
Thank you A.N. for this important video! Only said what others like myself having been wanting to say for quite some time! On that note I'm going to revisit my Kraggnar this time i will update the head sculpt 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Respect for giving your honest opinion. People are free to disagree, but I watch this channel instead of others because I can't stand certain "influencers" who clearly gloss over major issues because they want to keep the manufacturers happy. I like mythic legions also, but they have some proportion issues as well.
In my experience watching you since way back you keep it real, and honest. That's why I respect your opinion. You said you own a ton of these figures, and you saying the obvious fact that the articulation is garbage is just that, a fact. Thin skinned people can't handle factual statements of truth, fact not cap. You had to know these people were gonna cry like small children.
Honest question, if people with platforms don't call out companies and how they can improve, who gives them feedback? I feel many domestic companies don't listen to their average customer or if they do it takes forever to incorporate any feedback.
You represent who you work for at all times when off the clock is a bunch of crap. It is toxic workplace culture. When not at work you are free to say and do as you wish unless you are the CEO.
Damn … I definitely don’t think you do click bait.. you are always upfront on what your videos are about in the description and thumbnail. You always explain your views clearly and you don’t sh!t talk just to talk sh!t. You always go great videos bro. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I have been a subscriber to your channel for a while. Long enough to know that you don't "spread hate". And long enough to know that you endorse lines and figures that you are passionate about. A perfect example was when you did the review for the female gladiators a while ago. I had been on the fence about them, and leaning towards saving my money. It was your review that convinced me to get them, and I thanked you for that. Another example was when you talked about the Storm Collectibles Sheeva. Another one that I had been on the fence about, but this time leaning towards getting, and your video convinced me to save my money. Honestly, I think you are one of the best reviewers out there, because you don't just blow smoke up our backsides and you don't shill for the action figure companies. So, thank you again, and keep up the good work.
My man, up front you got my support. I may “borrow” some of this because I’ve said the same things as you. Not for views (psst I’m just doing this for views, ok love that joke). But a great refutal for us psycho pant viewers.
Hilarious. You told the softest truth possible. Don’t get me started on Mythic Legion’s pegs and joints. Working with the wings on the vampire line damn near gave me an aneurysm, not to mention the “elbow” joints that want to fall right out with the slightest bit of articulation of the figure. Respect, Ninja!
I ALWAYS glue the wings in the peg holes and then glue the lower part to the back of the figures. The first time I ever stuck a wing peg into the hole, the plastic around the hole crumbled into dust. I've been a fan of 4H since I started collecting the 4 inch Power Lords back in the day but it's not remotely controversial to suggest there are various issues. I had to reconstruct a hand that popped right off the peg when I opened my first Cosmic figure. After waiting so long after the Kickstarter to get them, this was a jarring way to get started. I spent most of my life in the music scene surrounded by disgusting selfish people and their blind supporters and when I first started doing customs in 2017 I thought the action figure community was so welcoming and supportive, but over the years it's become clear that as any large group of people with the same interests expands, there will always be a super toxic element. After Legionscon 2023, my first ever toy convention, I was left feeling very, very isolated despite having just been surrounded by people who love action figures as much as I do.
Well said, Ninja! Sad to see some people are closed-minded to objective observations on improvable aspects of products we spend money on. Figures cost money and should constantly be improved upon. Each of us has the right to want stuff we give our money for to keep getting better over time. Recently got my first ever ML figure, a female character, and noticed right away what you said about head proportion, just as an example. Accessories, paint applications, the soft-good cloak and overall looks are really nice though! I’m leaving it there. I appreciate your honesty and objectiveness, as that is what I mostly want from a review. For aesthetics, each of us, I think, can decide with our own eyes.
I’m not sure with people these days but they hear what they want to hear, you said nothing wrong, everything you said about mythic legion is true and anyone who doesn’t like your statement needs to grow up
It’s low key embarrassing. It’s figures at the end of the day. We all clearly love the hobby. The unnecessary disharmony is so wack. We gotta do better.
They obviously didn't watch the whole video. You did express multiple times how you like mythic legions, and you will keep buying them. That Trevor dude is soft and unprofessional for that.
Based on the comments the last video got, alot of people seem to forget that the whole reason the bicep swivel exists is to retain both aesthetic and range of movement in the arms when you utilize double jointed elbows.
Always appreciate hearing your honest opinion. Its refreshing. I have never designed or created a figure in my 20+ years of collecting. Guess I can't have an opinion on action figures 😂
I will pass on figures that can’t hold their sword/rifle with both hands. It’s bad enough retro classified Duke has no ab crunch but the first wave classified Duke does. Nope.
Well to be clear I'm pretty sure Trevor gets them into the same one double grip hand pose all the time. But it's not easy and that's about it no other 2 handed grip poses just stoic stance lol 🤣
This is actually funny. You had stated your complaints and why you felt the way you did. You never told anyone to stop buying the figures, you just stated the FACT that the figures don't have the best articulation. I sensed no hate in what you were saying and i think it's insane that people are losing their minds over a statement that isn't even crazy. You had clearly said that you enjoyed the figures and you buy them, but just because your a fan of something doesn't mean you can't critique the product or company. I collect a LOT of Hasbro products but i believe they can do a lot better at times and i state that. You can enjoy things but want them to be better.
If one can't fairly criticize something in an effort to encourage something gets better then we have issues. You've gained an audience this large because of your honesty and looking at both sides of the coin.
I'm with Ninja on this. I only have a few Mythic Legions / Cosmic Legions figures, and the main reason why I don't collect more is because of the articulation. I'm not asking for the world I'm just asking for double jointed elbows and knees.
I subscribed to you because you have kept it real with your opinions about the figures coming out, if not your love for figures in general. You give a no bullshit assessment on products that are both fair and understanding from a neutral point of view.
That the Valiant Knight has improved articulation is literally them making a better figure. Keep calling out the BS Ninja! All the arguments about articulation not being needed is invalid now.
It seems wild to me that people would take offense. Ninja literally only said that these figures had less points of articulation than other figures in other lines. That's... an objective unarguable fact. But he also stated that he likes the sculpts and does collect Legions. We are allowed, even as enthusiasts, to want something we think is good, to be even better.
I'm gonna be honest, I feel that this video didn't even had to be made in the first place. By that I mean that if they wouldn't payed attention to your last video, they wouldn't be posting talking about that you're click baiting. You never said the line was bad, only that the articulation needed updating, and that's perfectly fine. In any case enjoy the content keep up the good work 👍
People will feel personally attacked when they choose to (even when being told facts and nothing personal against them). ::insert Captain Picard face palm::
There was a post on the Cabal a couple years ago on the subject of articulation. I casually mentioned that I like toe articulation and got shut down quickly. It’s usually a chill place in that FB group but I learned quickly there’s a few subjects that rock the boat quickly with them.
I a comment once in the Cabal about exclusives (I don't care for the idea of exclusives)... you'd think I insulted their kids or parents. Worse, the admins deleted the whole thread instead of dealing with the toxic individuals. I rarely ever comment in any of the groups I'm in anymore because so many people get so butt hurt so easily now a days. I appreciate Ninja for his honesty and integrity.
Oh, that trevor fella is onesixshooter?? I’ve never liked that guy and his comment just helps cement my dislike for him. The toxic positivity needs to get squashed
Mythic legends is a product of its time. The 4 horsemen are known for their sculpts and they prioritize that. and the compamy has roots with mattel so its no surprise the articulation is basic. but its not 5 poa either bad. Its just outdated now. Especially for the price.
You keep talking about the balance between articulation and sculpt. But that balance Mythic Legions have is the perfect balance for Legion’s fans. Not everyone has to pose like you. My favorite line is AY because i love articulation, Legions is meh to me. I made a comment on your previous video to have a conversation but you never replied. You only chose to cherry pick comments to address on this video. As a long time fan, I’m disappointed. You slowly are becoming what you hate Hope you view this comment as constructive criticism and not “hate”. Seems like nowadays anyone who doesn’t agree is “hating”
It's not hate but hundreds of comments later sure you can understand some get lost in the mix, also clearly I have to prioritize responding to channel members first since they actually support the channel usually I also recognize regular subscriber names who comment often , how often do you comment ? Or was it because this was a drama based video you mainly chose to. I apologize for not getting to ya comment but as I stated clearly you should be able to understand with the amount of interaction and priorities. Also it's not about posing like me which I said in this video my preference would be import level but that's not what I'm asking , I said balance or equal to the standard in 2024. Look threw the comments most fans of the line agree they are outdated with articulation but it's okay because they're beautiful. I get it we all got different preferences but saying I'm becoming what I hate just because you didn't get an answer is wild 🤣. Stay safe man
@@ArticulatedNinja Again that is subjective, saying shit like “if you prefer sculpt collect statues” when clearly there are people out there who prefers to shoot scenes with minimal posing. I even gave examples, examples that you did. Naw not cause you didn’t reply, cause you used to be all about different view points but now youre so used to people agreeing with you, anyone who doesn’t agree 100% you consider it hate. There’s no nuance anymore. You cherry picked the comments that is obviously in the wrong aka ones attacking you, but left out any comments that is making a good point. You’re clearly so worked up about others not agreeing with you, you had to make a video about it. I rarely comment but I been a fan for a long time. Again, I hope you don’t take this conversation as an “attack”.
Honestly, and I'm a fan of their stuff who doesn't really care about adding more of the articulation Ninja is talking about, but the horses could be better. They sculpted these big chests on them, which means they can't lift their legs up as high as they should be able to. And they could have better range of motion for their knees. But don't get me wrong, I still love the horses.
@@Lurklen there isn't much they could do for the legs. Even asian companies like Fishtoys that are making a horse with torso swivel, will still have limited articulation in the legs.
@@Tyler_Lalonde- Eh, the knees of the foreleg could have curled in a little deeper if they trimmed back the hair on the back of it just a touch. You wouldn't really need more than that. And I agree about a mid section swivel, though I would go ball joint so the horse can do side to side, and at that scale it can be really thick so it wont compromise structure (so figs can sit on it without sag). But I mean if we're having our druthers I'd love a second joint midway down the neck too. If you had both the horse could look behind him, like real horses can. (And think of the poses for things like jumps, or a wounded horse in battle!) But don't get me wrong, still better than the horses I could find previous. There does have to be some compromise between structure and articulation when it comes to mounts. But Ninja ain't wrong when he says they could be doing better.
You weren’t even that harsh… we all have opinions and it’s ok if we all have different ones. I’m not sure when that got lost in the ether. The Legions figures you showed off looked beautiful, after watching your video I went and sussed out other reviews too. Bit out of my price range but still very cool.
There can always be improvements in every line. Doesn’t mean we love them any less. People need to chill, buy what you love for the reason you love it. I wouldn’t give any more of your time or attention to them.
Love their stuff. But yes the articulation IS crap. But honestly thats not why I love the line. I accept the negatives because I think the positives out weigh them.
Good job ninja! I have only bought four mythic Legion figures. The valet night was one of them and in my video. I explained how all the figures need to be this good and it is way long overdue. That is why a lot of hard-core toy collectors do not pick up this line. We need articulation, they are way behind for the company that they have become. I’m glad you spoke up and are not afraid to voice the truth and even call out the idiots on Facebook. Good job ninja.!!👍💪💜🔥😎
There are some super fans of the line that defend legions no matter what, but there are also quite a few people who have to defend the line due to making money from it. Its definitely a cult mentality, but that happens with other lines too unfortunately.
Can i ask mythic legions fans. Why are you guys getting mad if someone just shared an opinion to improve your figure? He just said it will be a fire if you add more articulation? What's wrong with that? Imagine you can post more for amazing poses for your figure and your hating it? Well it's your money
It's a shame you had to make this video; since in the previous one, you spent like, half of its runtime just making it absolutely clear that you love Mythic Legions, specifically so people know you aren't hating; but I think people just didn't watch it. 😂
Damn ninja “I could’ve spoke about etc” more like “ I hate the way you talk the way you walk I hate the way you dress” you ain’t have to get on they ass bro 😂❤
I own 2/3 mythic legions I think they’re cool, but yeah articulation is something that’s bugged me a lot, it stopped me from going all in. Yeah I know what I’m getting but I choose to buy them. if someone says they don’t like on their own channel, wtf that got to do with me?? Lol not even that, just seems like you pointed out things on a figure ON A CHANNEL THATS ABOUT FIGURES! Lol thanks for your vid’s bro I appreciate you showing off vehicles and where to buy them 🙌 sometimes ppl just want to fight or take out their anger on someone else. Hope the best for them but don’t take no shit from them.
Let me start by saying, I totally respect the way you feel about legions and to an extent, I even agree. However, I think the main reason a lot of people are upset with that video is not solely based on your opinions but the fact that the entire video is based around it while also being framed as a review of that new figura obscura. I belive if you didn't frame it as a criticism and just a review you wouldn't have gotten the same hate comments you got. I think you said the right thing, but the delivery was flawed. But that's just me! Like I said, you ain't wrong. Articulation could be better. But the paint and sculpt makes me look the other way.
I hear you thanks for the critique. I'm okay with "some" of these unreasonable legion fans being butt hurt, can't please em all and there are also a ton of legion fans that are reasonable and they can agree on something as simple the line is behind average on articulation. 🔥 Thanks again smith hope all is well.
Your assessment of the Mythic Legion was nothing but fair . If that guy who is an employee of 4 H took an issue is clearly due to arrogance and self interest. There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism by a paying customer and fan of the line as you clearly mentioned like 10 times in your video.
So right about them cornering the market and then man Savage Crucible comes out and just another level if they can fix the feet issue.....wow......Already shifting budget to them.....Competition is good for us all.....
Every mythic legions figure I've gotten has had something break even after heating up. I had a staff break just putting it in a figures hand. I love the ip and the sculpts but they still feel like kickstarter quality figures to me
Thats the one thing that irks me about the fig collecting " community". We are a bunch of grown ass men! How is it whenever people have their own opinion others get upset.Its effing toys its not that serious and were all allowed to like what we like and have our own opinions. Have a good weekend to all my level headed collectors.
I had this issue a while back when I talked about Mcfarlane Warhammer figures and how I liked them more than joy toys. so many people on my Instagram were just pissed at me for liking one brand better than another. I never even said anything bad I just didn't care for the size of the Joy toy as I liked the McFarlane stuff for fit better with my G.I.JOE classified stuff.
To me the lack of articulation dont bother me too much, knights and charecters in clunky armor don't really need thay much dynamic articulation. I think the valient knight is good enough. I think mythic legions has bigger problems they need to address and i been pretty vocal about it for years. The absolutely horrendous turn around/ time it takes to get figures in hand which is close to 2 years is asinine. Also the QC issues and customer service which can take them several months to resolve issues, the bad shipping prices as well. I been so upset about those issues that it overshadows the lack of articulation. They keep getting bigger yet they do very little to improve. I am not saying more articulation would be a bad thing, but just think they need to improve the other stuff and get their ducks in a row before they consider it.
I’ve been watching A-Ninja for 2 years and he is nothing but a positive dude. All he wanted was the toy line to have updated articulation and they got butt hurt over it. Crazy 💀
I did the math because it's facts over feelings over here I have 294 video up on my channel 260 positive all praise and happy 34 coming at companies or people to do better And I guess those 34 out of the 294 videos means my channel is hate based. Smh definition of emotional men focusing more on there feelings then the facts , thanks kabunzii for watching for so long.
I don't hate you mate you made good points. Good on you keep being honest. I don't your singing but still respect your points of view. Some of these Toy Manufacturers are a little sensitive. Please review Joy Toys Warhammer figures at some point. (You don't have to, I would just appreciate your point of view). Keep doing good work.
It's cool man, you just be you and ignore the noise. I like the way you seem so respectful of creators and collectors. I have just placed my first order with 5k Toys because of your reviews. I had a a ML FOUR HORSEMEN Necronominus Sir Elijah pre order waiting to be fulfilled for 2 years now, not with 5k but with another store and I don't know why it's taking so long! I was going to back their KS but I didn't as I have been waiting so long for the pre order. But we love collecting and we put up with a lot. Btw, I started collecting the Jada Toys Street Fighter line thanks to your reviews. So thanks again.
You wants too hear something funny,,he takes the photographes, he's not the sculpter or the one who's created them,why is he even saying anything he needs too just keep taking pics and hush it
@ArticulatedNinja why is it when u keep it real they take it to the heart or to the ass or let along butt hurt from u being honest and blunt and always keeping it pass 100% but bro I stand with u on it never change keep it how u always been and still
@ArticulatedNinja for sure ninja I stand behind u 1000 percent and Ryan and Bobby and Tony and Chad yall guys always keep it real and we need more of that less fake more of blunt and real and then fake much love to u bro ans the queens as well
Great video ninja don’t listen to these people out here !!! Obviously they are starving for attention so they’ll say anything to get some eyes on them !!!!!!!! I stay away from social media because of this exact reason no cap , I saw this coming when this shit was invented 👀 that’s how ahead of the game my brain is bruh 😎
@@ArticulatedNinja all is well pretty much most of the time ninja thank you for asking. I try to live my life by not sweating the small stuff and there isn’t much big stuff because I am truly blessed in life but also hard work 😓!!! ✌🏽
This is every fandom now. One side that are blind loyalists and the other side blind haters. These are the most vocal and attack anyone with differing opinions. Everyone else falls in the middle just trying to enjoy the thing and have conversations. I still can get the things people get worked up over. It's just plastic FFS.
Yea falling in the middle of still enjoying it but wanting to have conversations and improve it sucks the brand loyalist take everything as a personal attack
Wait...what? Were there lots of quality control issues with the Cosmic Legions line? I bought many, but I have tried them out yet. Is there something I need to be especially careful about?
It’s your opinion and I respect that I just like the video because of the language little kids watching it I didn’t appreciate that it’s your video at your channel you’ll run it how you want to but I wish that you would make the language. Do you read it? Thanks so much and sayonara. I wish you would make the language softer for kids, peace and love forever
I understand, in my usual videos I try to watch language much more this was not a usual video it was a rant for adults , and my content is always geared towards adults to be honest I'm not interested in appealing underage viewers. But I do know people have kids so on average I do try and keep the tone mild.
