Marvel Legends ANGEL Uncanny X-Men Super Premium Deluxe Action Figure Review 

Marvel legends retro Beast is a Messss all scams lowest price 80 dollars and all averaging 100 and it was all retailed 27

@@Rekk3x That has fuck--all to do with the industry.

@@AlanDavidDoane Mr Alan David Doane my bad I mean resell industry industry still pretty ass but there slightly getting better

Anthony, I think the thought is Unanimous. The only reason why I watch most of your reviews is because you word things similar to what I opinionate on them. And, Anthony, to answer your question, Yes, this is a complete rip-off. The wings could have been done SOOOOOOOOOO much better.

I saw him today and i was hyped to get this figure then i saw it was 34.99 and i put it back saying i couldnt do it lol

Yes

Particularly with comparing and contrasting smaller companies with low MOQ, such as Jada Toys vs Super7. I understand ThunderCats has a much smaller audience than Street Fighter (so smaller quantities made), but TMNT too??

It was the same thing with Apocalypse. Select Apocalypse is same price and overall better value, meanwhile the Legends one was like $10 more. No paint, less accessories although good for Marvel Legends offering, damn near the same amount of articulation.... The collectors need to really stop treating Legends like the end-all-be-all line. It is so old now.

And this one still better lol

@@ReeceHoward06honestly, this is why I’ve been getting Select instead of Legends for years!

Even better: SHF Kid Naruto $30, yet it's a brand new sculpt, comes with a ton of accessories (such as multiple hands and faces, a Rasengan effect, etc), tons of articulation, etc

He doesn't know anything about the industry or how it works.

@@sinchman1 who me?

Oh man, I wouldn't want any texturing on the suit. It's supposed to be a smooth spandex outfit with zero texturing. I get what you mean, you prefer the way Mcfarlane does it. Like even when they're trying (and failing) to do a classic costume look, they still sculpt all this criss-cross texturing. It throws off the whole comic book look, and makes it look more like a modern movie version. I think a lot of younger fans don't realize (or just don't prefer) comic characters aren't supposed to have intricately detailed fabric suits.

Did you purchase the figure

I'm convinced that Marvel Legends assumes a certain percentage of figures will sell at discounted rates and raises the price to account for it.

@@sinchman1The angel Figure? Nope. And I won't unless it is discounted. The last marvel legend I bought at retail price was the galactus haslab.

I think Neca figures look great but they’re articulation is just awful

I don't defend Hasbro's pricing, but there are some key differences, from a business perspective, between select and legends. DST is a way smaller company with way less over head. They aren't publically owned so they don't have to worry about making decisions based on stock holders. The also are less diverse in their product than Hasbro, which benefits them. Less risk of a product line flopping. These things allow them to put out a better product. Hasbro is a huge company with tons of over head. They have their hand is all kinds of brands and product lines. If a product fails, they find somewhere else to squeeze some dollars from. They cut corners because they answer to stock holders, not consumers. The larger the company, the lower the quality of a product tends to be. You would think it's the other way around, but quality and price tends to be a curve. You start out with high quality and high price. Then as a company grows, price goes down while quality stays high. Once a company becomes Hasbro size price goes back up but quality goes down. It's rare you'll have a big main stream company that sells the volume Hasbri sells that also maintains high standards.

Cheaper actually

Same goes for SHF Like Kid Naruto and SSJ Trunks

@@luvfreedom1470 oh yeah this one s 35

That’s because the Joe team (and Transformers team) care. The Marvel Legends team is full of lazy assholes that really don’t care.

For sure, with the exception of the accessories. The guns are still void of paint apps, or maybe one application of paint here and there. The defunct Lightning Collection did the best job.

Yeah showing too much calcium 😂

Only things I'd change is mentioning they did a great job on the head sculpts, and the engineering on the wings was very well done - best feathered wings I have in my big collection. Other than that, I have the same sentiments.

He should review the new Figma Guyver figure

Yes, yes Anthony should do a video about the current state of the industry. If possible, add in some data regarding the past couple/few decades (especially what ToyBiz was capable of) and what current offerings from various companies cost and what accessories are included. As a Canadian, Hasbro prices are not that far off from Japanese Imports. I used to be a completist for Black Series, Classifieds, and 80-90% of Legends. Collectively they now make up 15% of my toy collecting (and I have not decreased my toy budget, I have merely switched up my focus - Mezco, Mafex, Revoltech, and other imports). Classified and Retro GIJ offer the best from Hasbro IMO, but the prices have increased and even with that line, the plastic, paint and reuse have me walking away from a lot of their products.

@@zanth2449 I just got the marvel legends spiral because MVC plus the new jada line picking up but mainly because the figure itself and Anthonys review. If you love figures check out the new figma Guyver, I never seen the show but boy does it fit well with various manga and sci fi figures

Mhm

The fact that I can buy Shf for $35 & ML deluxe is also $35 just shows why we are in the latter end of collecting eventually the bubble has to burst

The extra cost wouldn't be so rough if it came with comparable accessories to their previous "deluxe" figure...Archangel. I get this might be a stretch of a thought, but if they included comic book version Apocalypse's arm cannon (similar thing they did including the claw hand w/Archangel), that would've been great...and no new tooling involved since they gave that to toon Apocalypse.

I'm the telepath

It's time to consider why things aren't being said

@@AnthonysCustoms i know why but yea you should do your video on the toy industry now . Its my feeling that soon most collectors will be priced out .

Absolutely absurd for Marvel Legends. The pricing of action figures outside the US and Japan is an interesting topic really. Here in India, Mcfarlane figures usually go for that much (lol not paying that) but lines like Marvel legends and the Black Series have always been sold for the usual price. Interstingly enough, I have found many Mafex figures being sold at around an $80 price point in local places, which is good for me because I mostly collect Mafex, SHF and Figma.

In my country some resellers sell it for $70+ and which is worse some people are buying this crap from them lol

This figure costs $60 CAD here in Canada. Absolutely insane and people STILL bought him..

For sure. The Diamond Select Sabertooth scales well with Legends. Was my main Sabertooth until the new ML one. Both sit in 2 different 1/12 displays, so you're good.

@@ReeceHoward06 appreciate it!

@@gbatista82 No problem. I'm tempted to hunt down the Select 1st appearance variant of Sabertooth since Hasbro fumbled that one, big time. Your comment just reminded me. 👍

Relax

Some coming soon too. Stay tuned

What's worse is the deluxe Vulture was $30 and that figure had a flight stand a more detailed sculpt and better articulated wings

Mcfarlane fan boys are the worst. I wonder if they are all legally blind at this point.

Perhaps

Haven't you heard? I'm just a negative hater.

I didn't think dcuc were ever only 10 bucks. They did exist before the jump to 20 though.

@@AnthonysCustoms Fair enough. Maybe 12-15. I'm in the UK and I think with exchange rates as they were at the time the early waves of DCUC were around £10 which is maybe where I got confused. I do remember Toy Biz selling a Ghost Rider for around $10 which included the bike, which these days would no doubt push the price up to $60 or $70.
