Dwight mentioned the new head sculpt for Silver Surfer when they first revealed him as the second unlock tier during the HasLab campaign, but considering that was more than a year ago, you can be forgiven for forgetting that little detail. I love both versions, honestly, and not sure which one I prefer. No doubt I'll have to display both, maybe the new one with Big G and the Walgreens version perhaps with the Defenders.
I may not have backed Galactus, But to be honest, Silver Surfer looks cool despite not being pinless, Frankie Raye Nova looks abosutley beautiful and fire despite not being painted gold, and Morg is another badass, threatening herald just like Terrax the Tamer because they have big ass weapons, Fantastic review Dan.
@@AKEP43 I’m guess the new painless limb molds were already spoken for for other figures? Despite this one being a straight single color, aside from some facial detailing.
Great breakdown, Dan. I still think I prefer the Walgreens Surfer head design overall, but I like the faux ear sculpts on the new head. Morg turned out amazingly. Let’s get Air-Walker and Stardust. 🤞
Stardust, Air-walker, Red Shift, There was another Female Herald named Ardina she was introduced in Stan lee’s and Jack Kirby’s last collaboration a Silver Surfer: The Ultimate Cosmic Experience a Fireside Graphic novel I don’t know what happened to her, if you had the Marvel Select Destroyer you could have used that as a Herald too,Cybermancer no idea 🤷🏾, Dazzler, Deadpool 🤷🏾, Invisible boy (Johnny Storm), Rom the Space knight, Doctor Strange 🤷🏾 oh and don’t forget Cosmic Ghost Rider , the first three are the one’s I really want I hope they don’t take forever for them to make them.
Frog Man actually did a cosmic adventure recently in the Iron Man books, where he was recruited into a ragtag team to chase Korvac! As for the figures, they look awesome, however I wish they had released Terrax on a body more similar to Morg in size, as when they duke it out in the comics they are pretty much face to face. I may also give Morg my Savage He-Man axe, as the one he comes with seems fairly small.
Great review! I'm from the USA and got my FedEx notification! Looking forward to getting them. We need AIRWALKER, RED SHIFT, STARDUST, DESTROYER ARMOR and GALACTUS first creation TYRANT!
@@greengamma569 I could see the head sculpt looking better with the tech they use now, but the paint apps on the Walgreens version are superior which as a whole aesthetically make him the better figure for display, you don’t have to agree just my opinion. If I had to keep only 1 it would be the exclusive.
Air walker and red shift are the cannon heralds I remember still missing, along with a new destroyer armor. But there are tons of silver surfer characters we are still missing that would look great with galactus
You know what would have been cooler than that ridiculous Doom head a Punisher bot which was one of his bots he use’s when someone mess with his equipment.
Nice review of these figures, Dan! Some trivia for you, Dan: Those raised, scaly, bumpy skin plates on Morg are known as osteoderms. Many reptiles and amphibians have those raised sort of bumps on their dermis--crocodiles come to mind. Also the fossilized dinosaur skins from Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus have been found to have these raised, bumpy surfaces. For me, they are what make Morg a cool looking figure. I can't so much about his Hulk Hogan hairstyle, or his '90s heavy metal boots, but I really think his skin texture is what makes him a standout in the set of three. I want to see a Gabriel the Air Walker figure from Hasbro. He was the Silver Surfer replacement Herald, and I don't think Hasbro has ever done him before, and he absolutely needs a figure!! Lastly, here's a Galactus and Silver Surfer illustration that I did about 20 years ago when my pro art career was still young. Heh. I hope that you enjoy it! www.lostonwallace.com/GALACTUS.jpg
i definitely have my gripes about both surfers. one has the vance astro head and the other looks like iceman. but i actually am a fan of the newer surfer, he’s definitely my favorite of the two.
I did not order Galactus, but I’m looking at these three and mental gears are working to do easy customs. Surfer - already had him (Wg and previous), but one thing I did notice is this new version also has the back peg hole. Nova - I think I’ve got Scream around here, but not a big Symbiote fan and still don’t have Lasher, so she’s fodder to me. The head I could still grab a MCU Binary Carol/CM, or just wait for retro Dark Phoenix and paint her head gold? I’m already planning a Rachel Phoenix with EndGame Widow head on DP body. (I’m still looking for comic Binary! So jealous others have already used her for custom fodder! She seems a fairly straight repaint into Frankie, tho?) Morg - I had his early issues, but he never caught on with me. Customizing him would be easier with a Thing with pants. I hope they release him later on single card/box. I’m thinking they could get some reuse out of that body with Dark Riders’ Tusk. I made mine with BAF Rhino. If his head was smooth, they could reuse that for the Elders of Universe’s Champion on the Herc/Maggot body. Or just transplant the hair? Boots could work on Stryfe, if they were upgrading more than his helmet. Maybe the gauntlets, too?
Nice video. Thanks. Kind of like the 2007 F4 type head on silver surfer, And despite liking the darker of the Walgreens because of muscle showing in general, the white actually looks better, stands outs better or brighter..wish he had 2 effects, morge should gave 2nd set of hands. I really don't get that!. Otherwise not bad.
All three look good. Morg looks superb. As another viewer said he needs some other hand options: fists and grasping would be good. Energy effects for his axe would lift him even more. Silver Surfer should be on Renew Your Vows Spidey buck. The new head looks good.
I went for a 90s animated Fantastic Four display coz my childhood was the all the Marvel animateds so Morg is just sitting by himself which is a shame coz he has the best/most detailed sculpt out of the 3 Also silver surfer does only come with 1 power effect even tho they show 2
@@miragexl007 I'll heat up her sitting on it using her gripping hands to grab the side of the board. She'll be on the front and Silver Surfer on the back keeping it balanced.
Great review! I can't wait until my Galactus arrives, although truth be told, I don't even know if I'll be able to display him right away. That Frankie Raye figure looks great for as simple as she is, but honestly I never really cared much for the character. I always her boring compared to other characters who have the same flaming gimmick, like Human Torch, Firestar, Firebird, Phoenix, etc. I might even decide to use her fiery display piece for Johnny Storm or Dark Phoenix or somebody else besides her.
The sad thing is looking at Morg only highlights what has folks upset with elements of figures that get skimped on these days. How just a little mist of shading would have elevated a figure from good to great. Spiral is a fantastic example of Hasbro delivering for collectors. Putting Mojo and Longshot out as singles. Look, I own that retro of classic Vision, it's one of my more valuable gets but I wouldn't mind if they did a rerelease with better paint and less cheap looking plastic.
I think the existence of Renew Your Vows Spidey really hurts this new Silver Surfer. You can immediately look at this figure and think "They'll make a better one in a year or so" It's not a bad toy by any means, though I do prefer the head sculpt and shinier silver of the Walgreens, but that's the first thought I had when I took him out of the box. One little thing I noticed is the peg on this Surfer's board is in a different spot to the Walgreens board. I wonder why Hasbro did that?
Surfer only has 1 effect piece in all these reveals so far. every promo for that Tier Unlocked showed two Effect Pieces and that seems to be a Lie. for a TIER UNLOCK
@@brainlock72 I feel like this can go either way. its just a shit effect piece, that is over used. but it is also, an effect piece that is made by the boat load. so to skim out out 1 effect is.. even cheaper, if you ask me.
Yeah make everything else like some lame super heroes or lame villains except of course The BEYONDER? How hard is it to make a retro looking guy figure with a white or red jacket? Screw you Hasbro!!!! Been waiting for 30 years!!! Nuff said !!!

Morg rockin' a sweet skullet too.
The Walgreens Surfer is superior in my opinion.

I don’t think so. The face sculpt on the haslab one is a lot better in my opinion.

Gabriel has only had a minimate afaik? Neither ToyBiz nor Hasbro have touched him.
@@brainlock72 Yeah. I can't think of a 6" figure of Gabriel that's been done.
i definitely have my gripes about both surfers. one has the vance astro head and the other looks like iceman. but i actually am a fan of the newer surfer, he’s definitely my favorite of the two.
Prefer the Walgreens SS over this pack in version. The Walgreens SS also DOES NOT have that stupid hole in his back like the pack in version has🤦.
Hmm. Not sure..kind of like the new head..kind of 2007 movie based
everybody so far just got 1 energy effect for there Silver Surfer.....definitely need us a Stardust, Airwalker, and Tyrant
I like this new head sculpt because this is the Planet Hulk/Infinity series version. The old one is nice, too, but more Jack Kirby.
These look great, dan! Congrats on your bundle of joy!

Whatup Bars! I believe we only get one energy effect. The Surfer on display at Comic-Con only had one.
Fantastic review, Dan Who?! Stardust is my pick for the next herald I would want from Hasbro.
Gran video bro!! Saludos 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Great review! Can’t wait til the big G and company arrives here!
Awesome review Dan. Can't wait to get Galactus and the Heralds Three! Lol.

Nice job!
these made this Haslab project more worth the price.... I missed the Wal-green Silver surfer, glad it was released again.
no it is not released again
@@NKO10HD I meant here in the haslab, I know not exactly the same but same character
@@gerrysabron sure, my comment was in terms of the availability. Being a Haslab exclusive its not very accesible to get tbh :(
Hasbro please, made a Air Walker action figure, please!!
I was screaming about the heads being different before you finally mentioned it. Thank you, I can breathe easy 😅

I prefer the Walgreens Silver Surer.
Same it looks more Kirbyesque
Morgan looks awesome 👌
What's up with the hole in the back of silver surfer?
This was their chance to fix Surfer by giving him a more imposing body with pinless tech but Hasbro didn't do it.
Damn Morg is intimidating as hell lol i feel threatened just looking at him
Gotta get him in my collection 🙃😝
The Herald that I'm looking forward to make is Stardust, A.K.A. Fish Ghost Lady
Wasn’t she in the A-Force set?
I only saw that TRU exclusive once, did not have $150+ on me to get it. Gone next time I was in.
Dan can I see a pic of SS head on Vulcan?
I think the existence of Renew Your Vows Spidey really hurts this new Silver Surfer. You can immediately look at this figure and think "They'll make a better one in a year or so"

One little thing I noticed is the peg on this Surfer's board is in a different spot to the Walgreens board. I wonder why Hasbro did that?
Probably for a better balance, they should have added another peg.
I only got one cosmic effect , which is a shame as it's nice
Morg is too short. Should be the same height as Terrax. Only heralds missing is Stardust, Gabriel Air Walker and Red Shift
The new figure has a hole in the back not present on the original.
Good Spot! Yes your right!
Wasn’t Cosmic Ghost Rider a herald? He felt left out of the herald part of this vid 😭
Ha ha he was!
Am I the only one who thinks Morg is slightly on the short side? 🤔
How come the new silver surfer has a hole in his back and the old one doesn't? Aren't they exactly the same
Missing Cosmic Ghost Rider in the line up.
Whi8le it isn't a HUGE issue, it is disappointing that all the Surfered seem to have only one power effect piece.
Haslab surfer headsculpt>>>>>Walgreens surfer
Walgreens surfer paint>>>>haslab surfer
Why does silver surfer have that hole in his back??
Cosmic ghost rider was also a herald in thanos wins
I hope we get a regular release of him because I can't afford 350 to 450 for Galactus
Probably not happening
They won’t release this galactus again, what’s likely to happen is a 12inch comic version
Why did they add the peg hole in the back? Lame.
Morg Is The Best Figure
Morg
has the best MULLET 😂😂
Surfer only has 1 effect piece in all these reveals so far.
every promo for that Tier Unlocked showed two Effect Pieces and that seems to be a Lie.
for a TIER UNLOCK
Feels really nitpicky considering how amazing literally everything else is.
For sure, picking at nits. But call them out, bro! I'll be looking at that when I get mine.
@@Thee_Deputy of course, but they also asked for backers for this Tier unlock - and $350.
I know I’ve got extra purple bubble effects lying around…from Magneto?
@@brainlock72 I feel like this can go either way.
its just a shit effect piece, that is over used.
but it is also, an effect piece that is made by the boat load. so to skim out out 1 effect is.. even cheaper, if you ask me.
Gutted. Yodel cant find my galactus at local depot. Lost or stolen ive been told. They started a security check and checking cctv at the depot.
Yeah make everything else like some lame super heroes or lame villains except of course The BEYONDER? How hard is it to make a retro looking guy figure with a white or red jacket? Screw you Hasbro!!!! Been waiting for 30 years!!! Nuff said !!!
Settle down - they’re just toys.
