BUY THIS ACTION FIGURE! Marvel Legends Dr Strange Review 

They hit us with the deluxe charge in the US for this guy. Still looks great, but Hasbro isn’t that generous 😂

2:23 can we talk about how he casually pulled out an almost spot on impression.

On the blue suit - it was a weird chapter in Dr Strange's history, his original comic was about to be cancelled and they tried to make him more "superhero-like" in the hopes it would lift sales figures. So he got a new blue costume (main difference being the mask and blue gloves instead of the yellow, otherwise it's very similar to his regular costume) and a secret identity ("Stephen Sanders", don't ask). This lasted only a very short time before he got the axe anyway. When he was later revived for Defenders and his second solo series, the blue costume and secret identity were swiftly written out, and became one of those oddball "hey remember that time..." moments. So it's a cute accessory, I doubt anyone REALLY wants a full blue suited figure (if they make another version of this mould they should instead do a "first appearance" version before he got the cloak of levitation and amulet), mostly it's just a reference and a novelty.

The black spots on the gloves are a good reference to Jack Kirby’s crackle energy effects from the comics.

It's so weird how many of these releases are hitting Europe well before the U.S. Asia, sure but this is becoming the new normal and I'm officially jealous. Glad you scored a winner Dave, this figure does look great, I just have too many Stranges already

That blue head is a silver surfer head painted blue. I'm happy to paint it chrome and pop in onto my custom surfer i made on the retro iceman body.

On comics accuracy - the bootless legs are indeed accurate to the 70s (probably 60s as well but the art is a bit inconsistent), the pants are more often blue than black but I understand wanting to break up the colour palette - also there's always an ambiguity in comics whether something is actually intended to read as black with blue highlights or blue with black shadows. The moustache is actually a little more 80s than 70s I'd say - original recipe Dr Strange from the 60s and 70s still had an Errol Flynn/Clark Cable pencil moustache, but some time in the late 70s/early 80s it got a bit more Burt Reynolds (same thing happened to Tony Stark). Still it's only slight, this could easily pass for a classic Strange, it's way better than the handlebar moustache on the black suit Dr Strange!

Plz release me from cryo sleep when Marvel/ Hasbro regains some integrity by designing Blue Marvel and Monica Rambeau figures... After 30+ yrs, you'd think they'd remember these 2 when High Evolutionary finally came out this past yr. How about a Limited Thunderbolts⚡ team figure set featuring early and later members? 🍻

2022 seems off to a good start!

I just got mine, the whole spiderman retro wave, and retro spiderman in the same day i was soo happy

The moment has arrived Dave! our dr strange wishlist is final complete :D

I miss out of the pre-order. I hope that Walmart will carry it again. Awesome Review 👍

The set up you did at the end was awesome!

Great review!! I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I'm super hooked up to your videos. Love the way you speak and your voice!!

Amaaaazing review. Your enthusiasm makes me wanna go back to collecting Marvel Legends!! Definitely picking up this classic strange figure

Wish we had gotten a new/better cape but looks awesome!!

Great review Dave! I'm still waiting for my pre-order of this figure! Can't wait!

I am so happy I picked up two of these. Now that you got yours I will be able to either keep it in box or sell down the road. I am ok with the legs because this is exactly classic and a beautiful update to the toybiz version. I think the cape being attached is a callback to how annoying the toybiz cape actually is. 🙄 the headsculpt is so fantastic one has to assume after the artist was done they rewarded him with a vacation. He said he could not go because he had the retro ff to do and they told him "no worries, they got this" so he left, and obviously they did not have this...lol

the face sculpts on this were done by paul harding. he does a lot of the best marvel legends heads

Great review Dave! Glad you liked this new Doctor Strange!

Mine came earlier this week and I'm beyond happy with him. Definitely a highlight on my Heroes shelf!

I agree, the face sculpts have been rather good with most recent releases.

With your set up, you almost sold me on that Hulk....

Very comic accurate

So jelly you have this so soon bro lol. He looks perfection. I have him preordered but looks like he's not arriving till March. My Mezco one will have to suffice for now. Great review and energy. Business is about to pick up I reckon lol.

Come on Dave, single elbows have been pinless since like 2010

OK now apparently everyone has the new Doctor Strange figure

I cannot seem to find him anywhere. But he looks great! I want to get him with Silver Surfer, Hulk, Namor Hellcat, Nighthawk.... The Defenders!

the one thing that would make this 100+ better is if his chest logo was white so i might paint that one day

Great review! I currently don’t own a strange, but this could end up being one I add.

I only really collect MCU and cartoon X-Men from the Marvel Legends line, but dang this figure looks great.

Salve from Romania ! U are great man & your videos cameos as well :)))

"Here is Doctor Strange out of the box *whoops that's gone"" :D

The Wand of Watoomb! The hair looks great! The cloak of levitation collar is great. Doc’s always been a set of black leggings. No shoes nor boots. The Wand was part of two crossovers with Spider-man. The blue head was in the 70’s for a minute. He was cursed, I believe. He also had a great crossover with the Avengers with that look.

Well, it's time to start building that Sanctum Sanctorum diorama. Great figure and review!

David take one of the "magic effects" and make your Firestar pop...

Doctor Strange does look "magical" for certain(pun intended). Kidding aside.....Hasbro do have their hits and misses.....but this one is a hit.....a home run. The Hasbro design team 💯% captured the classic essence of Doctor Strange. A "spellbound" addition to your collection (pun intended). Very glad for you and amazed he came out early there. . I'd preordered Doctor Strange on the Walmart app as soon as it went back in I believe it was October 2021. Hopefully they'll be shipping him out soon. Great "sleigh of hand" review, David.

I don't have this figure, But I will get him because this classic Doctor Strange will be the best MARVEL LEGENDS comic Doctor Strange ever while he will look awesome kicking the Zemnu wave classic Dormammu's ass.

It was definitely worth the wait

I love how this looks, defo copping it when it comes out for me.

It was a Walmart Exclusive here in the US and hard AF to find .

The second head also reminds me of 70s Stan lee without his shades! Can’t wait to get this figure from crappy Walmart 😆 this looks great and Paul Harding is nailing the designs !

I'm definitely getting this 100%. Great to see the remake of the classic looks for comic book characters. Looking forward to having this guy pair with Captain America and ironman once they are available. Great review Dave I'm even more hyped for him now lol.

I need that Dr Strange and I might be alone on this one but I would have got that whole FF classic wave if it had a Jack Kirby BAF. Easily would have carried the Sue Storm figure sales. Nice grab on the Strange fig David, spot on for a 616 collection. Reminds me Michael Golden Dr Strange.

I love this figure! Already one of my favorite Marvel Legends figures of all time! They nailed the classic look of Dr. Strange for an old school comic book fan like me.

Felicitaciones por tu pasión y objetividad al reseñar las figuras, especialmente de mi personaje favorito, Doctor Strange, saludos desde México.

Súper entertaining video and the fig is really something special!

Your getting all this stuff so early I’m still waiting on my retro wave , my nova and my dr strange I think I might need to move to the Uk

I need this one on my shelf

Great review, can not wait to get this! Where were you able to pick this up? If you don't mind me asking? I thought this didn't come out till March or April.

That's the same magic effect that came with the Scarlet witch a few years ago it was just pink

Good review.!! I agree... He's a great looking figure...!! Now, ... we could use a comic book Baron Mordo ... and maybe Clea, Wong, ... and the Ancient One...??

Great review for a great figure. Any chance you could post the FR retro livestream? I missed it and your livestreams are always so good.

Glad i pre-ordered, not a huge doctor strange fan in the comics but when i got dormammu i had to get it

THis figure looks incredible. Also the blue head I think is from his days as a part of the Defenders

Like # 666 ! Yes, correct... that Blue head doesn't match that body. This is the 3rd time a figure/statue has been released with that blue head (either as an extra, or as the primary), and each time, its included with the wrong body. -Diamond Select Variant figure -XM Studios Comiquette statue (tho its less egregious with this statue, since they altered the costume a bit)

I'm really glad I bought this, I honestly only got it go with Dormammu (sometimes I do things backwards, ok?) But if it makes Dave this happy then I clearly did the right thing

I am jazzed about this and only hope this reflects the quality going forward and that we'll get other characters I've been waiting to see from Dr. Strange's world. Comic book Clea, Wong, Mordo, and the Ancient One with the Mindless Ones as BAF. Maybe throw in some other supernatural characters in to round things out like Dracula or Werewolf by Night and a demon like Mephisto or Nightmare.

I have this figure on the way, although I am a little disappointed in the way they glued the (reused) cape onto him, and even more so that he has the Fisher Price-style paint deco instead of the Alex Ross/80 Years aesthetic, which the Retro Spidey also featured. I think if this one had a removable (replaceable with soft goods, really is what I mean) cape and a paint deco that wouldn't make him look like the odd man out standing next to 80 Years Cap or the 2020 Retro Spider-Man, I think he'd be just about perfect.

Mine arrived yesterday and I agree, it's the best figure in forever. I can't believe my Toy Biz one will finally be retired, I thought he was going to be there until the heat death of the universe.

I'm hoping I can get my hands on 2. one to customize with a cloth cape and a spare to keep as is or Incase I mess up the first one

I know the year just started but I know this is going to be in my top 25 figures of the uear

I pre-ordered this figure & I now have to get the MCU Target exclusive so I can get the portal effect

Damn great review I didn't want this but now I have to have it lol

Nice to see you get a figure not last! Haha Awesome review

You know dave, you don't need all the retro fantastic four just because you want to keep the invisible invisible woman and pulse exclusive Johnny storm. You could (if you want) sell the normal release retro fantastic four, and put Johnny next to the retro spiderman display as they do cross paths very often.

Great figure great review

Where did you get him? I can't find any online retailers that have him on pre order

Bro I’m not even into these figures I only do MCU but I enjoy all your video very entertaining … top 3 RU-vidr along with Lobo and Jay C

This will go perfectly with my dormammu.

Great way to Review. I am sick of the articulation Part 😅

To be fair these retro lines are commonly repaints. I’ll give hasbro a break. Because Walgreens exclusives are hard to get. Plus people wanted this classic color scheme. Plus we get both powered up due and powered down Johnny. If we need reuse to get these options, I’m down for it. But I’m a huge marvel legends fan who gives marvel legends the benefit of doubt when it comes to tough decisions to keep corporate happy so they continue to give us this marvel legends amazing body of work.

This is the best doctor strange figure ever!

Do not be fooled by its appearance. It has a small camera on the Eye of Agammoto, spying on your every move. Tsk tsk Hasbro, naughty naughty.

This figure cost the same as the Sue Storm figure? Not here in the U.S. Sue Storm was 22.99 on average, while the Strange figure is a Walmart exclusive at $26.49. The prices are all over the place, lately...(Gamestop selling retro Hercules at $22.99 while selling retro Spidey 2099 at $24.99; Target here selling Eternals wave at $27 a pop...)

You seem very impressed with the exact same kind of elbow joints we've been fighting against on female figures for years

Ohh no not thunder strike and that terrible captain America 🤣🤣jk definitely a cool action figure. Can't wait to get em

When is this supposed to come out? I’ve never seen it online or in store

Do you know if the Doctor Strange NWH MCU figure head (Benedict Cumberbatch) works on this Strange's body?

Just got mine whit Dormammu.

I know there are a bunch of people that gripe about the hiked up price but considering that this guy is a solo release not tied to any wave and that he comes with more accessories than some actual deluxe figures, 100% worth it and I can't wait to get one, I only wish I had a release date for when these things come out.

I love this dr strange but yea i wish it removed the cloak so we can customize it with soft cloth. Overall 8 out of 10.

Where is this being sold????

Great figure but my hunch tells me Hasbro is gonna release another one of this in a box like the 20th year aniv Capt America. How I wish they won't drag us :(

Who made that spiderman no more suit in the trash can he has!?

Both heads work good as a tony stark head

Another smashing review! He's so frickin' awesome! Now to hope and prey that Walmart does not cancel my pre-order.

When is his release date?

Hey are you interested in a battle damaged Spider-Man head sculpt

This figure wasn't even available for preorder in my area!

I collect serpent society

Mi top 3 legends of 2022..

Naw naw naw I got mine BUT it is a walmart exclusive which is not usually this easy as he was up for preorder for a couple months

Hey mate, are you from the UK?

it's a Walmart exclusive, so yes, it's a bit shady.

This is out already?

Looks good, but I see pins and therefore no money for them! Its 2022, that's the baseline for me.

He’s on his way to me as I type this 🤙🏼

Where can I buy it?

Hasbro marvel Dr. Strange ok
