Your Deadpool rap was AWESOME! Great list and great presentation of the list! As always, entertaining and a truly enjoyable video! VERY WELL DONE, DAVE!!!
A true top 100 essential Marvel Legends, David. I am very proud to say I own all but five figures: Classic Doctor Strange ( waiting on my preorder), Emma Frost(Puck BAF wave, I do have the recent and the Hellfire Club version), Mary Jane (All new All different Spider-man 2pk), Hela, and Starlord. Again a great list, chock full of comic versions.
Great vid!!! I'd say colossus was missing from that list but otherwise a great one.....thanks for constantly entertaining us and for helping me get in to this hobby. Cheers 🍻
Break it down into teams 1. Fantastic four 2. Classic avengers 3. Classic defenders 3. Jim Lee’s X-men 3. Ultimate Spider-Man trainees team 4. West Coast avengers 5. X-Men giant size cover 6. Brotherhood of evil mutants 7. Masters of evil 8. Sinister six 9. The frightful four 10 . Single heavy hitters - dr doom, ultron red hulk, Loki, Gladiator
So you're telling me that for a legends display Colossus is less essential than Enchantress, Beta Ray Bill, Black Knight, Deathlok, Gwen Stacy, JJJ Knull, Kraven Leader, Malekith, Man-thing, MJ, MODOK, Morbius, Shang-Chi, Taskmaster and Winter Soldier? Guessing you forgot to go back and fix the list after you replied to me in the comments section of the stream video.
To be fair, there are so many X-Men that they would easily take over 30 spots. If one wants to cover the entire Marvel universe, individual X-Men have to suffer. And yeah, Beta Ray Bill, JJJ, Knull, Kraven, Leader, Man-thing and MODOK are more essential than Colossus.
@@misterpreposterous5771 I'm not asking for every X-Man but you need Xavier, the original 5 ,(Scott, Hank, Bobby, Warren and Jean) and then giant sized X-Men brought in 4 characters of Note that included Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm and Colossus who all became GIANTS in the marvel Universe and saved the X-Men book from being cancelled. He then went on to be a player in nearly every big x-men story arc, a mainstay and many would say, heart of the team. Not to mention his multi-exposures in other media. Plus on the stream video, when someone suggested Colossus, David said "of course Colossus is on the list" he had just forgotten to put him on it.
@@misterpreposterous5771 Especially characters like Taskmaster, MODOK, and Winter Soldier. Like, to YOU, Lionsden99, you think Colossus is more important than some of the best Avengers villains, when Colossus can easily be replaced? And yeah, I can see what you’re talking about with the Spidey villains if it’s a Marvel display only, but we’re talking about the big bads of the Marvel Universe in general, sorry for going on a rant, but most of the characters you named, were more essential characters than Colossus.
I like it when David posts a video talking about what we could need and use in our MARVEL LEGENDS display, Speaking of MARVEL LEGENDS, I need to get Gambit, Grey Beast, Marvel Girl, 20th anniversary Captain America, clone Thor, ''Astonishing Wolverine'' vintage collection Antman, deluxe Black Widow with motorcycle, Thunderstrike, green She Hulk, deluxe Maestro Retro Mr. Fantastic, Thing, Human Torch, Gamerverse PS5 Miles Morales, Retro Spiderman 2099, armored Daredevil, What If Doctor Strange, classic Doctor Strange, AOA Magneto, Arcade, the Hood so I could use for Tony Stark, classic Dormammu, classic Ultron, classic Loki from Smart Hulk BAF, deluxe MODOK, Retro Sandman, and Morlun
Recently got the new Hot Claws Wolverine!! Someone happened to have returned him to my local GameStop just before I’d arrived. Apparently dude ordered multiples and once his first arrives, he returns the ones that arrive afterwards.
Great list, Dave. But I had to include more characters on mine. Colossus and Punisher I think they're a must have. Then I included some villains like Mysterio, Lizzard and Scorpion. Peace!
Hi, Dave. Thanks for another very interesting and entertaining video. I even watched it twice. Turns out I have 50 of your top 100. And since you asked at the end, there are some you included that I certainly would not consider essential with short explanations: Beta Ray Bill (alien horse version of Thor), Black Knight (not that important an Avenger), Captain Mar-vell (maybe then but dead a long time), Deathlok (never was that important, non-canon Marvel future), Gwen Stacy (original one dead a long time now), Knull (too new and only one storyline), Rhino (you sure included a lot of Spider-Man villains, but that's one I would not include). And as for some obvious ones you are missing, excluding the Punisher which I personally hate: Colossus (only guy missing from your all-new, all-different X-Men), Shadowcat aka Kitty Pryde (ok, a personal favorite, but long-time member of Excalibur and X-Men, even leader at one point) Carol Danvers aka new Captain Marvel aka Warbird aka Ms. Marvel (even though I know a lot of people hate her, she's been around and important to the Marvel universe a long time), Quicksilver (early bad guy, early Avenger, tied to Inhumans, Scarlet Witch's brother, tied to X-Men, played by two different actors in two cinematic universes, just always around somewhere). I've considered Havok (X-Factor leader, had his own series), Madrox aka Multiple Man (leader of X-Factor, just around everywhere... literally ;-), Magik or Sunspot (to include one "New Mutant who perhaps became the most important), Annihilus (as a major bad guy, but he doesn't have a Hasbro figure so never mind) and the new Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) whom Marvel has pushed really hard since her creation, even making her main character of the Marvel's Avengers game) Still, you've got a very good list and above 90% which is an excellent score. ;-) And now for a tough question. If you dare to answer it, how many of your top 100 most important characters did you keep after your purges?
Me too! I love when there is just non stop ridiculousness going on, impressions, songs, criticism, comments, wild enthusiasm, goofs, dropping things, total chaos, it is so much better than the very carefully curated, edited, and refined boring stuff that people put up on RU-vid, other times they put up their "gags" that are so stiff or barely funny (I mean other RU-vidrs) but David's are genuinely hilarious and very much like things that go on here at home but also I imagine in other people's lives as well!
I love that you chose the Mar-Vell Captain Marvel. :D Even though I swear, in the live stream, it was Carol Danvers that was talked about. Also, I thought that Quicksilver was on this list, too.
I have the Scott Lang Ant-Man from the 2 pack with Stinger, I really want that vintage Henry Pym one; but I'm kind of holding out hope for a classic Pym Giant-Man.
I was thinking about your most important list again, and I realized that the High Evolutionary would have been a worthwhile addition. He's been involved with most major Marvel characters, created his own "race", his own planet, was pivotal in the history of Adam Warlock and Scarlet Witch to name a few, had a big crossover named after him, fought and saved Galactus, etc. He just strikes me as a major player with staying power.
Carol Danvers ? I saw classic captain marvel in there or did I just miss ? Odin maybe? Punisher (even though marvel trying to Shuffle him off to the corner fields)
FOUL!!! We need to make a trade. Get Knull the hell out of there. How can you not list all of the OG Sinister 6? VULTURE!!! Keaton even played him. Damn Dave, Damn. Lol 😂
So, when this list was originally being made, it was hard to understand what exactly would qualify a character to be on, but it seemed that it had to be something that really has a major impact on the stories and the overall Universe of Marvel, so having a major or total impact on stories, and it had to be a figure that has been made in Marvel Legends form (mainly the Hasbro ones I think) or are going to be made shortly and have been announced. I haven't watched the video just yet, but based on the comments I'm glad Stan Lee wasn't on the final list. My Marvel Universe sort of stays with the basic stories, usually ending somewhere in the 90s at the furthest, but mainly reaching their climax with the Secret Wars where it kind of celebrates a whole lot of characters all at once, before seemingly almost re-booting them in some ways, but the Jim Lee X-Men designs were really influential on me and those stories which appeared in the games and cartoons, though I really don't like stories that mess around too much with alternate dimensions and alternative realities and alternative endings and stuff like that, I just like the straightforward main stories and I'd like them to be able to repeat a lot, so that people aren't killed off and don't require supernatural explanations for their returns, they just keep escaping capture and returning to fight another day and kind of remain in circulation in perpetuity, so that the Vulture would show up repeatedly, that Spider-Man's neighborhood could at any moment have another bad guy that he has fought before showing up again with another plot or team up. That is how I'd like a Spider-Man game as well, kind of open-world with villains generated up to some new criminal scheme. A lot of the very well known villains ended up not on the list seemingly because they were more small-time crooks ultimately who didn't seem to have a major impact on very massive and widespread events in the Marvel Universe, so a lot of favorites, both well-known and obscure, didn't seem to make it because of their small-time status overall, even though those are some of my favorites. So the impact of characters like Ultron and Apocalypse and Magneto and Galactus, as well as Thanos and heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and even Doctor Strange could be considered a lot bigger than some others. I think that an essential list should basically cover all the famous and well known faces, which would have the Sinister Six, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, Doctor Strange, The Avengers, The West Coast Avengers, certain important side-kicks, the main and most famous X-Men and their central villains each that we see very often, each hero should have their main repeated villains. I think they should maybe be selected by how often we see them in media, how well known they are, by their popularity or otherwise their frequency of appearances, even if their stories aren't impactful on the overall Universe. Since I grew up with toys from the 80s and 90s, I always felt like the Silver Surfer would or could pop up at any moment in a story or a game and was a major player, I had no idea about the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man and Wolverine seemed to be the two biggest heroes because of the cartoons but also the comics, and then there was Captain America and Cyclops, and also Storm, but I wasn't really too fond of any of the other female characters initially, but I liked Gambit a lot and so Rogue would go with him, and then Jean Grey seemed essential to be matched with Cyclops, and out of the female heroes from the X-Men I probably liked Psylocke as a figure (I really liked Erik The Red or whatever in the cartoons and his action figure, and Deathbird also, who I call Lady Deathbird, haha I think I heard them call her that somewhere as a reference to her royal titles). When I saw Pryde of the X-Men I liked Kitty Pryde as a kind of introductory character who then maybe Jubilee was based on for the later cartoon but I'm not sure how much I cared about Jubilee even though I would like her represented, maybe she seemed a little annoying to me because of her reactivity where as Kitty Pryde seemed a little more unsure and hesitant, perhaps like how they made Rogue in the film version later. Oh, yeah, Mystique was a cool female villain, and I think Madam Hydra is important. Even though characters like "Lady Death" have a major impact on events in the stories, I don't consider that character really important or essential to be represented (even though one came with my Marvel Select Thanos figure). I like the male original version of Captain Marvel and the three major characters he deals with, Yon-Rogg his direct adversary and nemesis, Ronan the Accuser, and The Supreme Intelligence, as well as the Kree Sentry, and I also like a character called Korath, but these didn't have clear comic version representations in Hasbro's Modern Marvel Legends except in a version titled Gamerverse for Captain Marvel which has a good comic based representation, but I also like the Marvel Select version of that figure. Carol Danvers then becomes an important figure to represent as well as part of those stories.
I only collect classic comic versions and the following Marvel Legends are the ones from you list I'm missing: Abomination (want a better classic one), Adam Warlock (waiting for a classic version), Baron Zemo (getting the classic version), Beta Ray Bill (want one), Black Bolt (want a better one), Blade (want a better classic version), Bullseye (want it), Daredevil (want a classic version), Doctor Octopus (want it), Elektra (want it), Emma Frost (want it), Enchantress (want it), Falcon (want a classic version), Ghost Rider (want a better classic version), Hela (want it), Luke Cage (want a classic version), Magneto (want a better classic version), Malekith (want it), Miles Morales (don't want it), Mary Jane (want it), Mystique (want it), Nick Fury (want a better one), Rhino (want it), Star Lord (want it), Taskmaster (want a better one) and Winter Soldier (want a classic version of Bucky Barnes). Eventually I will own them all but I rather wait for a rerelease or a classic version. Thanks for your list Displaying Model Behaviour.
He will have it very soon, we're hoping before the end of the month ideally! Tell your friends and family who might be interested about the channel and maybe we can get him some more people before the end of the month!
Woah!! Dave, is your Sabretooth’s mouth broken?? It looks like his jaw has been separated on his right side while the left side looks intact. If both sides had that separation, I’d think that his jaw was movable, but the way it appears with yours is that his jaw is simply broken.
Was that supposed to be the Netflix Kingpin voice? It really didn't sound like the animated series one. I'm only mentioning it because you do such a good job on your other impressions. It's hard to think of any major characters you missed, but like you, I'm also more inclined to Spider-Man characters. Here are a few to consider though: Red Hulk, Mandarin, Lizard, Mysterio, Crossbones, and Psylocke.
i can easily name 10 characters that were snubbed from the top 100: Colossus Galactus Havok Kraven Ms Marvel/Warbird Omega Red Psylocke Punisher Shadowcat Wonder Man
When he did the live stream, it was definitely on the list, but I think it might be asking a lot for people to consider Stan Lee a Marvel Character who are usually heroes and villains, it would be like a shelf of Kirby, Romita Jr, Bagley, Byrne, Claremont haha, a shelf that I might actually have, plus Stan Lee makes it in when the Jackal is in the list, Kirby makes it in with The Thing, many of the characters are based on the people behind the scenes, I'd say Jim Shooter is The Beyonder himself for example, both the guy behind the Secret Wars in Marvel and as the Beyonder, also responsible for the Secret Wars. It can be fun to find out the origins of some of the appearances and characters or who they might be inspired by or represent, as a lot of them had their appearances based on certain actors, and then would switch to other popular actors in later eras as well, but in other cases there were strong indications that the characters were based on staff and writers behind the scenes at Marvel.
I think Stan Lee should be on the list, simply because without him, Marvel wouldn't be as memorable as it was. I also think Ares deserves a spot and even Odin. Thoughts?
I consider more: Kingpin-Spider-Man Namor-Avengers villains Black Panther-Fantastic Four Morbius-Spider-Man I don't saw Punisher and Quicksilver figures
I just started collecting your videos have been very helpful in deciding what I want to get and skip. So far I have 10 retro figures still in box hanging on my bedroom wall. Top Row is Spider-man characters,(Ben Reily, Shocker) Mid I have my Avengers,(Hercules, Tigra, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Falcon) and Bottom I have my X-men. (Gray Beasts, Blue and White Cyclops) X-men animated vhs boxes on my book shelf. Rhino haven't decided where yet but wanna keep him in box for now. More coming on pre-order(Spidey symbiote and Amazing fantasy vers, Retro Apocalypse.)
Great video! Loving the channel and a recent subscriber. I am a fellow long hair guy and was bummed to see that you cut your hair. Keep up the great videos!
You didn't include Frank Castle. Ironic with you putting out the Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe video. That's what happens when you don't let the Punisher play 😂
