Highly articulated wings on figures has been one of my favorite developments over the last 5ish years and glad theyre not doing build-a-wings. I really look forward to whenever they do an arch angle. Hopefully with a switch out fully retracted wings.
These wings! I like the red version here as it gives me versatility. I think Champions when I see this. Blue makes me think X-Men. Blue also makes me think Archangel. But these wings! I actually find them pretty light for their size. The middle portion is all the difference between the DCUC figures Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Yeah I have those too. I don’t have him but NECA and the Voltar crazy bird Viking guy. How did they do collapsed and extended wings? This figure is very sweet! I’ve been zooming him around and playing with the wing poses. So many cool shapes he can throw! Great buy for $35!
This figure looks great! I look forward to other Angel’s and even Mimic. Thanks again for talking X-Men with my son and me and taking a photo at Planet ComiCon.
That Archangel head at 8:37, this figure would've been as close to perfection as possible if it had included an alternate Archangel head with the same yellow paint for the blonde hair. If they come up with equivalent Archangel wings later that you can pop into those back slots paired with an alternate blue-skinned head, THAT would be 99.9% perfection for this figure.
Now I know I’ve only gotten into marvel legends in 2018 but I’ve watched 100’s of videos and been to many shows and collector cons, HOW THE HELL HAVE I NEVER SEEN THAT DANGER FIGURE she looks so good!!!
Looks great - I'd love to see a redo of the Original X-Men team done a little better...and the Neal Adams era Beast, with the red and blue outfit (unless they already have it..I'll have to go and look).
Oooh, snazzy edit with the figure details. The face being so freckled is weird to me, never really saw Warren like that. The white on the red is kind off-putting too, it's just always gonna be hard to get white paint to match white plastic. All that said, the wings look amazing! I love my DCUC Hawkman but the way the wings look when extended throws me a bit. This Angel has them looking perfect folded or expanded. But I'm with you, Robo... Archangel colours please. Metallic feathered wings would look so good!
Those freckles or pixels on the face aren't really noticeable in person, just when I do super zoom on the camera. I usually get into edits and go "Well damn, I didn't even notice that." But then I am getting older and blinder, which works into me being happier with things in general haha!
@@RoboDontKnow I should try that. Except with me, it's taking off my glasses. Just to help me appreciate my beautiful plastic... uh... blurs. Smudges if I squint hard enough!
Archangel has been on my X-Shelf for a while, center back, up on a flight stand filling out the shelf. Once I get this guy... Archangel gets to rest. Just personal preference, but I much prefer the feather wings.
that is a really nice figure. a shame about the butterfly joints, but understandable. and those wings are majestic AF. im hitting up a bunch of targets and a local shop and hoping they have him, Namorita, Power Princess, and all the Joes that supposedly came out this week... if not, im hitting up pulse and bbts for sure! OOF my wallet!!!
I'm looking forward to getting my pre-ordered Angel soon from Amazon so I've been checking out the reviews...& there's NO WAY getting around the fact that the smiling head sculpt looks like he's been LOBOTOMIZED!😂 Anyways keep up the great work brother.. always looking forward to your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
Okay, imma need multiples of Angel just for the wings to customize... well, angels really... like DC's Lucifer, and the gang... and Hawkman and Hawkgirl...
He's beautiful...I prefer the blue costume instead, to me he's ALWAYS looked better in blue. That alternate smiling head, though? It's a bit "creepy mannequin/children of the corn/plastered smile"... I prefer the neutral face.
I always find it humorous when people dog on hasbro or Marvel Legends for "lack of innovation" but I haven't seen any other company tackle wings like this, Neca Gargoyles should be taking notes.
I'm not going to be combative about this but I do want to say I highly doubt the wings are what they mean by lack of innovation. Much as I like some marvel legends molds the articulation compared to more expensive import figures is lacking, and their insistence on mold reuse/retooling in this line makes a lot of the articulation issues stagnate over time and become more obvious. Frankly I've seen transformers figures on the regular with better articulation than some of these figures and I find that both impressive and unfortunate. The transformers mainline is where that innovation is going, and Hasbro just isn't really applying it to the marvel legends line as much as many would like.
Warren the 3rd may not get a lot if love but I still think he is another cool X-MEN member despite later on he becomes a horseman to the very scary unstoppable Apocalypse, I don't have gim but this figure looks cool especially with those wiings and awesome review on this Angel action figure Robo.
I wish they used a shorter piece above the thigh cut like on the Astonishing (nobody saw me call him Uncanny) Cyclops, that should have been the standard buck instead of Vulcan, much better proportions. Vulcan has long hot dog tube legs.
Robo, got my Angel from Amazon on 4/1/2024, the left wing's connector hinge would not move or bend. I tried to heat it up, but it looks like the paint and plastic was already fused together in that section when I got it. Ordered a replacement from Amazon. Just sharing to fellow collectors to beware about this defect.
No need to decide which head to use, put the Defenders head on the red costume and when the blue costume comes out, that one goes with the X-Men. Then wait for the First Class, Champions, X--Factor, AoA, and hopefully updated Archangel costumes.
the gloves and boots wouldn't be so bad if not for the different gloss on one of the parts. Damn, that's enough looking up position for me. Most Joes can't get that far, and the snipers laying down need to be able to.
I could be wrong but I don't remember angel having a halo in his red & white costume with the white gloves but I do remember the one with the yellow gloves having it. I do remember it being on the blue & white costume though. It may have happened in Champions more than uncanny & maybe that's why I don't remember it because I didn't read the Champions &_just skimmed through it.
I’ll take: This look Blue variant Blue variant with metal wings (X97 cameo!) X-Factor red variant AoA variant Young X-Men variant Young X-men with fire wings variant Mimic, Dark X-Men variant Mimic, Exiles variant Mimic, OG orange variant Do we really need Jay Guthrie aka Icarus? Bat wings for MLF Dragoness and X-2099 Bloodhawk. NO ONE has had decent bat wings, even during Hallowe’en, for YEARS. I’ve gone thru at least three iterations of Bloodhawk and not a single one has BAT WINGS. 🤦♂️😢 Oh, and Uncle Bob went by Fr. Roland after joining the seminary. He and his “best friend” Robert “traded names” when they took their vows. 😉
@@RoboDontKnow well please tell them old Benji say's nice one👊 Saw those TMNT MOTU new wave pictures today and thought, 'You know Robo's going to be excited about those on the weekly.' Mikey with blonde locks!!🙂 loving the content as always mate
It's a Medicom MAFEX stand with one of these adapters to slip under the back of the wings... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mNAnu0Nd51Y.htmlsi=eKegCdq7oJ2AKfCC&t=628
Now listen Hasbro, if Mcfarlane can make a decent horse (witcher roach) and sell it for $30 im pretty sure you can make one with these wings accompanied by a new Valkyrie, right?
8:09 if you look closely, that old Hasbro Danger figure has double jointed elbows... But Hasbro said it was impossible to make double jointed elbows for females back then... 🤔
Having butterfly joints and wings IS possible, I did it with my custom. But I think hasbro only did it so they won't have too many articulation with 1 figure, because the wings include several articulation, is this pitiful of hasbro to not have more articulation? Yes, do they care? No. Still a good figure though 👍
