I mean, can you blame people for not liking Marvel legends? Some figures from them kinda socks, but I do see that their recent figures are better, but they still have some problems.

@scottroxford5715 2 дня назад

I feel like the only problem with Legends is that some figures clearly aren't created equally and the massive emphasis on MCU figures a couple years back hurt the comic figures a lot but as of last year and especially this year? Legends is killing it.

@anthonydarnell 2 дня назад

As a former Marvel Legends collector, the only things that really turned me off of Legends are the inconsistency with quality, lack of standard accessory quantity and articulation. After I started dabbling in imports, I couldn’t ignore the waist swivel, sometimes lack of waist articulation & paint, and questionable neck articulation like on the RYV Spidey buck.

@demetricsmith471 2 дня назад

All of the figures in your top 5 are only going to be found online. No one is going find Spider-Man 2099 on a store shelf and definitely not for $25. Most of those figures cost more than the average import.🤷🏽‍♂️

The problem with ML Spider-Man figures is they keep cheaping out with rarely giving him at least the base 6 hands. Fists, Thwipps, and Crawling hands. Also theyve done Insomniac Peter so dirty both times. And another thing is how horrific the secondhand market is for older Spider figures. With Spidey being so popular, Prices are insane

@cabezademapo. 3 дня назад

i agree with most of the takes, especially accessibility and range of characters which is extremely important. but in 2024 especially, hasbro just isn’t doing their best to deliver great products for collectors, especially with their paint and overall engineering . lines like jada toys street fighter are confirmations that it can be done better.

@demetricsmith471 2 дня назад

Hasbro has completely eliminated the affordability factor for the Marvel Legends line. Since the global shutdown, the figures have become increasingly more scarce at retail. And online sellers mark the figures up to import levels without batting an eye. The line is plagued with quality control issues and Hasbro's constant cost cutting measures. In 2024, we are still receiving toys on the Bucky Cap and Sunfire body molds. Why are we still getting toys from 2012? Why is the Pizza-Spider-Man still being used? We shouldn't have to pay full price for outdated products.🙄 U put troop builders on bucks like that at a reduced price. Does anyone remember the S.H.I.E.L.D. troopers, Hydra soldiers or Skrull crew figures sold on Pulse? They were cheaper and used those old bodies. U don't get to put a new Animated Spider-Man paint job on those old bodies and charge premium price!🤦🏾‍♂️

I think that all Spider-Man figures should come with four sets of hands. Web slinging hands, web crawling hands, fist hands and web grabbing hands. And good web accessories for crying out loud. The web accessories that come with some of the Spider-Man are simply out dated of stink.

@ravenamber890 2 дня назад

The fact that I don't need to look out for import figures to have the perfect iteration of my favorite character says all about ML. I don't love Mafex. To me it's never been worthy. I get that it is a nice figure, but if we think about it just a second, it really offers you a lot more than a Marvel Legends? I don't think so.

@finndeets День назад

I think that a Mafex Spider-Man is often better than a ML Spidey but it all depends on what you’re looking for. For photography I really appreciate Mafex articulation but it’s just a little unnecessary for some people!

Legends get too much flack for stuff that other toy companies do on the regular like reuse of moulds and putting out big name characters on the regular. Funny thing is though I didn't get a Marvel Legends Spider-Man until 2022 with the Renew Your Vows figure and the Amazing Fantasy figure and I started collecting the line in 2020. Spider-Man figures prior to 2022 were rare and hard to get at reasonable prices, the retro carded figure was 100 bucks at one point which is crazy. Or the figures were outdated like with Pizza Spidey so new collectors were kind of out of luck on good Spider-Man figures. Marvel Legends are the main thing I collect and they do not disappoint, they're the best line for world building and the sheer diversity of characters they have is astounding. You can army build, team build, have a hall of armors, they have great villains and they're affordable (for the most part). Plus they're also great for kitbashing and customs.

@scottroxford5715 День назад

@MKBIII. День назад

I think for anybody that wants to build a spider verse or wants to actually build a rogues gallery there’s no choice but to buy from hasbro, maybe that’s a bad thing, but there’s only so much money a person can spend, if every figure in the sinister 6 is 100$ from mafex, then the resellers bump it up another 40-100$ nobody would want to collect them. I’ve had my eye on the mafex blue suit wolverine for like 3 years now, but even after the reissue and buying my first mafex with the comic spidey this last year I couldn’t pull the trigger because it was just too much money to justify spending. Marvel legends 97 wolverine is a great stand in I feel, even with the inflated price it’s revived in the after market. Coming from an og toybiz collector it is disheartening to see the price point current marvel legends have, but at the same time it is better than any thing else out there.

@HairbyAtishhh 2 дня назад

It’s just not fair when a Spider Man figure like the Secret Wars which is coming out soon comes with 2 heads and few extra hands compare to Titania she comes with an extra set of hands also not the same articulation, but we have to pay the exactly same price. We have now good female body why is Hasbro still using old moulds?

@finndeets День назад

That is so real. I have no clue why they wouldn’t use the updated female bucks, it’s so frustrating when they don’t come with extra stuff

@HairbyAtishhh 20 часов назад

i used to exclusively collect import figures but recently marvel legends have just improved so much to where they’re almost equal or even better than (sometimes) import or high priced figures and i very much prefer paying $25 instead of 60-100+ for a figure that does the same things and is way more durable and just pure fun and if anything a lot easier to replace just incase and most importantly with A LOT more variety of my favorite characters

@alexlovehall7796 2 дня назад

Very good video just like the Mafex one. I've been mainly buying imports recently, however I respect the lane that 1-12 scale domestic figures have. If I had to buy just one, id pick the import first, however in a perfect world, I'd get both. I think you were a little harsh on Mafex about QC or Price, however I do acknowledge those problems exist. I love the editing and the format of this video especially You've made that amazing fantasy spider-man a lot more enticing for me so I'd say job well done. I think ML, Jada, McFarlane and others in this lane have issues too, however we as collectors need the affordable lane just as much as the import lane. One without the other leads to the death of the industry as we know it

@LongHairedBandit 2 дня назад

I'm a very easy pleaser with collection action figures and i've been in the game for over 20 years.

I'm glad i stumbled across this video as you share a lot of the opinions i have that tend to get dismissed

Hasbro needs to give Spidey a limitless articulation to the point we can pose him Todd McFarlane style pinless,toe articulated,neck can up and down smoothly and tilt smoothly,limitless butterfly joints,can crunch and back limitless,a mask he can hold and lots of different hands with new articulated webs different mask with different eyes expression so we can pose him and make him do what a spider can but until then I'm sticking with the imports especially the MAFEX one.
