HASBRO: Give us a Doc Ock with four bendy wire tentacles that are the SAME SIZE. Make it a more expensive figure like Archangel if you must, just give us bendy wire tentacles on Ock!
Dwight gave an explanation about safety standards at Hasbro for why they couldn't make Nightcrawlers tail have bendy wire. It's likely Hasbro wouldn't allow it in Doc Ock's arms either. Do you really think Dwight would leave that out if he had the option?
I agree on the size! I prefer a large looming Scorpion, even though I know technically for 6 in scale he is accurate, I would have liked to see him on the Omega Reg body :)
Ok so here's what irks me. We can get a bendy wire for Scorpion but why not Doc Ock or even Superior Ock? Those bendy wires would have made the figures extremely worthwhile.
I'm going to keep my ToyBiz Scorpion, for sure. The sculpt is simply amazing. There are some minor gripes about the articulation, but it's pretty much perfect
Remember when Dwight gave the explanation why Nightcrawler couldn't have bendy wire due to strict tolerances on Hasbro's part? I'm willing to bet Doc Ock's tentacles fall JUST into the category of being too skinny for Hasbro to allow bendy wires but Scorpion just barely made it.
not going to lie i've been on a dark souls kick lately and when i heard the noise when scorpions tail hit the big time letdown spiderman i kinda flinched. as always great review man!
This was one of my grail wants. I just got him really cheap unopened. Now I have both hasbro and toybiz figures. I love this one because it matches my other hasbro spider villains
This figure is more of a Mark Bagley style Scorpion (as seen in ASM #370). Bagely didn't draw Scorpion as a big hulking dude. He drew him more as a thinner and agile sort of character. So, you should pair this figure with the Mafex Bagley Spider-Man and they'd look great together.
Shonok Rohan Toy biz cannot look up Toy biz’s tail is too small Toy biz has oversized hands Toy biz has oversized feet Toy biz’s normal pose look awkward Toy biz isn’t metalic unless you buy the rare variant Toy biz’s legs are loose Toy biz is old
I can say getting this guy to stand is a bit of a pain but after picking him up...i feel the need to pick up the shocker for some reason which I will probably do
I personally prefer the Toybiz scorpion because i find it depicts a more essential aspect of Mac Gargan. On one hand it shows more like a dominance in raw power seen in his first fights with SM, but also the use of the cowl is a good reminder of how pathetic he looked before the transformation. I think we all remember the scene in SM the animated series before he got his power, where he's just floating in the costume. A pre-transformation Scorpion in the costume would actually be an insane figure to have.
I got both the toybiz and Hasbro Scorpion figures. But I like the Hasbro version better because his tail is longer and you can bend it anyway way you like.
I really want this scorpion but I always preferred the purple look for scorpion so I will hope out on this until the hopefully make a purple look scorpion
I prefer this look over the previous for sure. Plus, the very outdated articulation and proportions on the old one (especially those hip joints) makes it the lesser of the two. And how about that ab articulation on this one...so nice. I wish more where done this way. Really makes them look more like nicer import figures.
Well, I certainly prefer the proportions of this Scorpion to the ToyBiz version (his body looks like all the pieces go together), but I prefer the size and head sculpt of the ToyBiz version. I'm glad Hasbro isn't giving us all vanilla expressions on the characters anymore, but the ToyBiz sculpt looks so comic booky!
I do like this figure a decent amount this is my favorite Design for Scorpion I would’ve like interchangeable hands but since we got a bendy wire I can’t really complain. However if the already had to make a new sculpt for this guy why not beef him up more
I just bought this figure today and man... I am so mad... So mad at Hasbro because that tail works really well! Why couldn't they do the same thing with doc Ock??? I love this Scorpion, it's just so good. Only thing I dislike is the face, he has that derpy ":B" kinda face lmao and the whole face in green isn't my thing at all, but the figure as a whole is beautiful.
Just got the figure... love it.. but after seeing this review... I do agree that it should have been a little bit bigger body... the mold that they use for Captain Britain/Wonder Man/Sentry might have been better. (at least scale wise...not saying they should have used that mold, saying that they should have used that scale) at the same time...every time I see a toy biz figured compared to a hasbro figure... I just have a gut reaction that the toybiz generally sucked.. great for the time, but those round joints just look hideous.
they could have made Doc Oc a BAF, if costs a concern.....Toybiz's wasnt bad, it was grreat at that time, but this current one is an upgrade, and less kids toy looking of a figure..
Hasbro is oddly anti bendy wire and anti glue... but on the occasion they use bendy wire or glue it's either necessary as hell or stupid. Bendy wire in Scorpion's tail is necessary but glue on Jubilee's glasses weren't. It also begs the question of where tf was all that bendy wire before????
I feel like in the context of him being venom spiderman it makes since for him to be that size. Could you show a comparison of scorpion and symbiote spiderman?
Am i the only one who gets mildly infuriated when marvel legends figures have an open hand and then a fisted hand for the other arm WITHOUT including interchangeables?
HASBRO: Give us a Doc Ock with four bendy wire tentacles that are the SAME SIZE. Make it a more expensive figure like Archangel if you must, just give us bendy wire tentacles on Ock!
R P I agree
They should do a 90s Doc Ock with bendy wire tentacles and allow them to mix and match with the classic Doc Ock.
I feel bad for kids because when they try to play with dock ock marvel legend they cant bend the tentacles to have fun
Well 3 years later you got your wish 👍🏻
"You're all green, I'm all green."
- yep, that sums up 70% of Spider-Man characters.
Doc Ock, Vulture, Green Goblin, Electro, Sandman, Mysterio, Scorpion, Lizard...
Huh, I guess the color green is the nemesis of Spider-Man.
Not having wall crawling hands were the same issues I brought in my review. Definitely agree with you that he should’ve had claws on his hands.
Green venom hands maybe? Or morbid hands are better for crawling. Definitely gonna paint that mouth though....
what!? no hellfire effects, no skull interchangeable head, no swo--
oh wait wrong Scorpion. sorry.
Im not up to my comics so I dont understand -edit: NVM I remember now
@@clearesttape2158 for a second I thought you were a idiot
@@zodiax6782 don’t worry I am
I think we should've got an alternate head with the open cowl
And alternate hands
if they put a bendy wire in his tail...why couldn't they do it for doc ock! cmon hasbro!
they will for sure redo one with bendy wire they have to !
Cause someone is retarded in they're office!!
@Gucci Baby swear
Dwight gave an explanation about safety standards at Hasbro for why they couldn't make Nightcrawlers tail have bendy wire. It's likely Hasbro wouldn't allow it in Doc Ock's arms either. Do you really think Dwight would leave that out if he had the option?
@Gucci Baby Then why did they include bendy wire in Scorpion here?
I am so stoked for this figure! Can't wait to get it!! Nice review shartimus!
ItT t

I prefer hasbro’s over toybiz’s it just looks more like how I imagine Scorpion
Punch/Counterpunch 2000 The perfect Scorpion is Toy Biz, but expensive..
Grievous 1234 I disagree, proportions are weird (giant hands and feet are the main ones) and the head sculpt is pretty bad
I just wished it was slighlty taller or bigger
I prefer almost everything on the Toy Biz version like the sculpt, paint, design. The tail length and proportions are better on the Hasbro one
@@Albino_Basilisk that’s your opinion and you are entitled to it
I am very impressed with this. I kinda hope we get an armored Scorpion in the future, similar to the 2000 video game, and the 2002 movie game.
This new scorpion kinda look like the actor from homecoming.
I agree on the size! I prefer a large looming Scorpion, even though I know technically for 6 in scale he is accurate, I would have liked to see him on the Omega Reg body :)
That would look nice but then there would be no sculpted lines in his suit
That would've been WAY too big for a classic Scorpion. Modern armored Scorpion, maybe; and that's a big maybe.
That tail is dope
Finally a comic accurate scorpion suit!
Scorpion is actually my favorite Spider-Man villain.
I really hope they make a doc ock from the Spider-Man animated series for 1995 or something like that
got my Scorpion and far from home Spiderman today and man am I happy. I always wanted Scorpion and that tail is insane.
I actually prefer the closed-face cowl on this figure. Reminds me of the McFarlane Scorpion from Amazing Spider-Man #318.
I'm glad we can move the tail 👍
Just pray they re-release Doc Ock with bendy wire tentacles.
They probably won’t but ok 👍
@@William1102-k1o Hey, I can hope, can't I?
TheDUDERulez1 yea you can I am hoping to but it might not happen knowing hasbro
Honestly like the look with the open mask more I’m thinking of painting it
Yesssss finally, exelent video shartimus!!!!!!
Why is the figure's mouth cover because on the package I it's not
If you
My bad
Ok so here's what irks me. We can get a bendy wire for Scorpion but why not Doc Ock or even Superior Ock? Those bendy wires would have made the figures extremely worthwhile.
I like that it has a bendy wire tail
I hope they make a PS4 Scorpion and retool it from this one because that’s my favorite look for him.
No size comparison with the Mezco Mortal Kombat X Scorpion?
This is an amazing scorpion In my opinion.. great review as always
Great review! This is basically the Scorpion costume that Todd McFarland designed from Amazing Spider-Man 318.
I like the hasbro one better because it pairs up with last years Mysterio and Doc Ock very nicely.
Very true
I'm going to keep my ToyBiz Scorpion, for sure. The sculpt is simply amazing. There are some minor gripes about the articulation, but it's pretty much perfect
I think the same, this one's too shiny and skinny
Remember when Dwight gave the explanation why Nightcrawler couldn't have bendy wire due to strict tolerances on Hasbro's part? I'm willing to bet Doc Ock's tentacles fall JUST into the category of being too skinny for Hasbro to allow bendy wires but Scorpion just barely made it.
not going to lie i've been on a dark souls kick lately and when i heard the noise when scorpions tail hit the big time letdown spiderman i kinda flinched. as always great review man!
Just got this guy and far from home mysterio in the mail two weeks earlier than expected. They look niiiiiiice.
This was one of my grail wants. I just got him really cheap unopened. Now I have both hasbro and toybiz figures. I love this one because it matches my other hasbro spider villains
Am I the only one who felt bad for The Big Time Let Down Spider-Man when he was upset since scorpion left him
The Toybiz head needs to be on the Hadbro body. And maybe add Prowler's hands to him?
I think this may look cool with the marvel legends ultimate spiderman
Sonwi I have them both they look 👍👍
This figure is more of a Mark Bagley style Scorpion (as seen in ASM #370). Bagely didn't draw Scorpion as a big hulking dude. He drew him more as a thinner and agile sort of character. So, you should pair this figure with the Mafex Bagley Spider-Man and they'd look great together.
I saw the Hasbro version at my local Walgreens and passed cause I’m happy with my Toybiz version.
its nowhere near the toybiz version...should have made it with a bulkier torso and release it as a BAF
Shonok Rohan
Toy biz cannot look up
Toy biz’s tail is too small
Toy biz has oversized hands
Toy biz has oversized feet
Toy biz’s normal pose look awkward
Toy biz isn’t metalic unless you buy the rare variant
Toy biz’s legs are loose
Toy biz is old
Seeing the packaging and the actual figure just reminded that we haven’t had any variants with ML in a while
I can say getting this guy to stand is a bit of a pain but after picking him up...i feel the need to pick up the shocker for some reason which I will probably do
I have discovered that king cobra's hands from the thanos infinity war build a figure fit very well if you don't mind them being green
nice tip bro, theres a lot of king kobra aoutside that wouldnt mind to loose it hands jajaja
So happy it’s bendy wire, makes me wonder if they will rerelease doc ock with bendy wire arms.
Nope.
I personally prefer the Toybiz scorpion because i find it depicts a more essential aspect of Mac Gargan.

Yeh this Scorpion figure is from the far from home wave but he wasn’t in the movie
This really should have been a BAF
I actually got this at Target and saw hydro man and spider woman
I love the classic suit
Almost half a million subscribers!
Excellent review, Shartimus. Scorpion was must have for me. ✌
I got both the toybiz and Hasbro Scorpion figures. But I like the Hasbro version better because his tail is longer and you can bend it anyway way you like.
I may have to get this and paint the open face.
Imagine modifying the tail the same way as the modded Doc Ock tentacles, that would be cool
GREAT REVIEW!!! Loved this review keep up the good work Shartimus!
That scorpion figure if dope asf. Wished I was able to get it
I like the toy biz scorpion he is bigger and he has more detail then the new one
I like the Hasbro one better
I really want this scorpion but I always preferred the purple look for scorpion so I will hope out on this until the hopefully make a purple look scorpion
I prefer this look over the previous for sure. Plus, the very outdated articulation and proportions on the old one (especially those hip joints) makes it the lesser of the two.

I Like the New One, I Actually Have The Head of the Toybiz One.... It's a Leftover From My Brother's Childhood
it seem as if every time I get a new figure you review the same one that day. Nice vid shart! :D
Well, I certainly prefer the proportions of this Scorpion to the ToyBiz version (his body looks like all the pieces go together), but I prefer the size and head sculpt of the ToyBiz version. I'm glad Hasbro isn't giving us all vanilla expressions on the characters anymore, but the ToyBiz sculpt looks so comic booky!
Scorpion is my favorite spidey villain but I really wish we would have gotten the "Big Time era" suit instead.
I do like this figure a decent amount this is my favorite Design for Scorpion I would’ve like interchangeable hands but since we got a bendy wire I can’t really complain. However if the already had to make a new sculpt for this guy why not beef him up more
Great review, super excited for this, may grab a few extra to customize a bit
7:54 I want that 2nd figure. I know it’s old, so I basically have no chance at getting it
Pokaru’s Sandstone..Ebay
Hasbro, not even close, the size and closed face is the only thing that i like on the toybiz but the toybiz just look like garbage imo
I just really wish they did the same for doc ock's tentacles with bendy wires as this scorpion
I like the Scorpion from the Spider man ps4 Insomniac game
I just bought this figure today and man... I am so mad... So mad at Hasbro because that tail works really well! Why couldn't they do the same thing with doc Ock??? I love this Scorpion, it's just so good. Only thing I dislike is the face, he has that derpy ":B" kinda face lmao and the whole face in green isn't my thing at all, but the figure as a whole is beautiful.
Scorpion’s face/head sculpting is Jamie Foxx’s face/head sculpt
Easily the best figure in the wave in my opinion. And the new scorpion is better by far. The tail wins
thefatman69fude mysterio is an outstanding figure
I like it, and he arrived today.
U finally got your bendy wire
Now we just need a classic vulture
rafael bugarin..Wish granted
Having mine displayed, I actually kinda like the figure.
A pretty good effort by Hasbro. 👍
What about the clawing hands that came with the new symbiote spiderman
Tbh he’s more often closed cowl in the 62-90’s comics
Just got the figure... love it.. but after seeing this review... I do agree that it should have been a little bit bigger body... the mold that they use for Captain Britain/Wonder Man/Sentry might have been better. (at least scale wise...not saying they should have used that mold, saying that they should have used that scale)
at the same time...every time I see a toy biz figured compared to a hasbro figure... I just have a gut reaction that the toybiz generally sucked.. great for the time, but those round joints just look hideous.
New scorpion!!!!!!!!
The amazing yamaguchi carnage open hands might work but they use difrent pegs
Anyone else really want spiderman ps4 versions of all the villains (doc oc with bendy wires) , updated spiderman and a rhino BAF?
I’m still waiting for gamer verse marvel Spider-Man rhino and scorpion I love the designs
I wish the tail was thicker and the tail end was round like the old school costume.
Shartimus! Longtime fan! Agreed, there's something about the Toybiz version that I prefer to this one. Right on!
I wish they made the PS1 scorpion as a figure
they could have made Doc Oc a BAF, if costs a concern.....Toybiz's wasnt bad, it was grreat at that time, but this current one is an upgrade, and less kids toy looking of a figure..
I agree he should have claw hands
Hasbro is oddly anti bendy wire and anti glue... but on the occasion they use bendy wire or glue it's either necessary as hell or stupid. Bendy wire in Scorpion's tail is necessary but glue on Jubilee's glasses weren't. It also begs the question of where tf was all that bendy wire before????
yeah.... I HAVE TO GET THISSSS
the toy biz is actually looking more bifg so i understand why u like it
Hey I mentioned it to xmanny too but try the hands from the green symbiote for better look
I guess I'll be using flesh color paint for the face.
I love this figure
Still don’t understand why they couldn’t put bendy wire in the tendralds
I feel like in the context of him being venom spiderman it makes since for him to be that size. Could you show a comparison of scorpion and symbiote spiderman?
Close to having him in Spectacular Spider-Man series.... -_-
I’m pissed that Hasbro put bendy wire in Scorpion’s tail and not in Doc Ock’s arms. C’mon Hasbro get your priorities straight.
Am i the only one who gets mildly infuriated when marvel legends figures have an open hand and then a fisted hand for the other arm WITHOUT including interchangeables?
Dogmaguy74 yes
Marvel classic spiderman be like
