I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one wanting Abbott & Costello to put in with the Universal Monsters! I was hoping for Neca, but just someone do it!!
Fun fact about the characters of laurel and hardy they were featured in one episode of the the new scooby doo movies when they were going to work as bellhops
Damn, I don't buy a lot of Toys, I just love watching Uncle Robo but Goddamn that HELL RANGER figure is just Too Good and with Halloween right around the corner, Hell Yes, I Need It!
I'm actually sad I didn't make that same joke. I DID turn to Veebs at SDCC and go "I'm going to need two of those sets" and he asked why. "Because it makes a right." Sigh....
@@RoboDontKnow it's a real bugger here in the UK. I've had to order Wong and strange set from Amazon USA. Can't find it anywhere else. I was hoping it'll appear on amazonuk but nope.
As for "the best Batman" intro, MaFex "Knight Crusader" Batman is the one (or at least the one I have been waiting for - cloth goods cape and longer "bat ears"). Thank you Robo for a fun and informative video!
Those Laurel & Hardy figures are intriguing, 'cause it did also get the brain rollin' for me of ideas of old-timey comedic actors that could be made in action figure form, like Three Stooges as you said, but also an obvious one to me at least, Tramp Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers (at least Groucho, Harpo, and Chico Marx), also one NECA should try to make, Abbott & Costello, 'cause that would tie into Universal Monsters. Also that Dormammu head in the Strange/Wong pack always did strike me as a make-good for everyone who didn't like the stock head with the Xemnu wave Dormammu.
I hate to admit this but my first thought about Laurel and Hardy was that they could go with Universal Monster. In my defense it was a fleeting thought before I went "No dummy, that was Abbott and Costello....
My great grandfather worked on the Laurel and Hardy short The Music Box. He's also why I had a decent toy collection as a kid despite my parents being pretty broke. He used to give me a crisp new $100 bill every year, in late-'70s/early-'80s dollars.
I just had to add this you were the first person to say that you don't have to go out and find two platinums because the one platinum comes with two heads so if you buy three of the regulars and one platinum you can make all the figures you want thank you for finally you robo being the only one who actually pointed that out
I'm torn between agreeing with Robo on the USB charger being in the wrong place on the Ranger horse vs. finding it *hilarious* and thinking there is nowhere else they should've put it, lol.
Punisher getting his hands on the Warmachine armor definitely happened in the main 616 universe. Eventually a huge group of heroes shows up and is like "Yo, Frank, you gotta give us the armor my dude." Its a fun read.
@@judesheckelberg5135 I just looked up the panel, the avengers show up and say "you come out here to surrender?" and he simply replies with "no". Fighting then ensues.
I like them giving us different heads to build out the Lantern Corps, that's a great idea. They've got some good accessories that I can use on my other Lanterns too. Nice to see the bronze age Hunteess costume get a release alongside the modern one. McFarlane has been doing good lately. Not perfect, but good.
It was a nice beautiful morning. I was chilling out with my breakfast and Robo's weekly. But as I sipped my cranberry juice, Robo blurted out "nothing Alderaan-shattering". Sprayed the juice out my nose, laughing. There went my Saturday morning.
My fingers are crossed the heads are compatible with some of the other lantern bodies Todd has given us and I will just pop those suckers onto those and save $60 because I dread having to spend $120 to buy those figure four times and the nightmare of probably finding the chase version twice 😅
The Batman Forever batmobile situation is confusing. What's also odd is they didn't put one out for Batman & Robin. Which if you're a completest has to be a nightmare. Can't wait for the solo release of that Alfred though 😁. I have Lucius Fox coming in the mail!
Somehow going to have to get the Frazetta Viking! I paid for my Teegra Monday! I also want the Dark Wolf. I can only get high dollar figures on occasion.
So we can all agree that Wong will be reused for a classic Shang-Chi, right? Not sure why they didn't use the same phonetics for K2 as they do for R2: Artoo-Detoo and Kay-Tooesso, instead of Kay Tuesday
That Maul figure really shows where the Black Series has come for me. The first release had the swappable cape with a different head, the saber and binoculars where the new one just comes with the saber. I get it, times change and inflation is a you know what. But we’re paying $5 more for 30% less plastic these days.
Thinking the flames in the picture were part of the figure is great, Robo. I can see you back in the day finally meeting some girl from Friendster in real life and being bamboozled by all her photoshopped pictures upon actually seeing her..... yeah. I bet you thought your Static-X profile background was super sick! Yeah... you know what I'm talkin' about. I got you pegged, Mister.
@@RoboDontKnow It occurred to me that you had to be married by then after I commented. I'm sure at some point I had a Static-X background. The classic X-Men lightning symbol. Lol.
If there is Laurel and Hardy then there has to be Jackie Gleeson......."One of these days, Alice, pow! right in the kisser" and "Bang! Zoom! To the Moon, Alice, to the Moon!"
Thinking about it, the decor for the Strange figure, with the red trim round his chest emblem...looks a lot like how Alex Ross did it. So maybe we can paint the neck and pop the regular head on it for a modern version...
Jeez McFarlane does not like to do things gingerly does he? Also I can’t believe on a personal level how quickly I became an avid collector of the DC Multiverse series. In the last year alone I think I’ve acquired nearly 100 figures? That means I’ve accumulated more DC Multiverse figures from McFarlane in one year vs the DC figures I had from Mattel from 2003-2013. And this train ain’t stopping anytime soon
Bats, the dog's original owner of sixteen years, suffered a heart attack and left him in a shelter. He was adopted by Doctor Strange when he was a veterinarian, and he enchanted bats with a translation spell that allowed people to understand Bats barks in English.The reason he's a ghost is because loki got him fucking killed when he sacrificed himself save strange. And Strange had to make a sacrifice to Yggdrasill the life tree and he didn't have anything except for the dog's body. And later out of nowhere Bats came back as a ghost and still can speak.
@@MattKayser I am aware of the Mattel one. Getting hold of one is nigh impossible. Hence my suggestion. I'd love a mcfarlane one that I actually might stand a chance of getting hold of
I feel attacked with those Maul releases. Im trying to stay strong but I want one so bad. At least I know I will NEVER see one of those at Ollies. People would buy them all and resell them the second they showed up.
I do think that singe release Maul should have a cloak because it literally gives the buyer more to play with. And don’t take this in the wrong way Robo, but respectfully, I hope BBTS sends you a Revenge of the Sith Palpatine for free 😂
The Green Lantern chase has a different paint on the body to make it a different costume so buying 1 chase and 3 standard releases will have 1 of them stand out more than the others.
there are 2 new spawn figures coming out under the call of duty title but the 2 spawns are based on the skins in call of duty of spawn. One skin is normal spawn without the big boot and the other is a modern tactical spawn
Definitely hope the Laurel & Hardy figures become a thing (fun fact: in Germany, they are called "Dick und Door" which basically means "Fatso & Dumb Ass). If we are doing an old Black & White comedian action figure wishlist I would lover love love to get as Marx Brothers set. I mean Groucho Marx showed up as a cab driver in the old Shang Chi comics, it would be perfect
Heh, putting on my marketing hat, Shemp would release first, then Curly later. I grew to like Shemp more later but not early on. So Moe first, then Shemp, then Larry, then Curly.....Joe, haha, then Curly.
Trying to identify the changes between some Black Series releases is like being a kid with one of those Highlights magazines. How many differences can you spot?? 😂
That Adam West Batman wave is hitting this week. I found him, Dick-Bats, and B/S+GL FUUUUUSION! at my store the other day, then Dick and B/S+GL today at another store. Then a new SW half Island with Acolyte figures on the side at a third store today, which....yeah, I heard the news already. SMH
I am in for Laurel and Hardy, hope to see 3 Stooges, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin at some point. I am still confused on the GITD batmobile vs 2 pack batmobile, are those really same vehicles, you mentioned no working lights?
I truly believe that Mcfarlane Toys are producing their figures in less quantities and drastically cutting down on production of each one. Those new collectors edition figures went up and sold out within 20 minutes.
