    ShartimusPrime Biography:
    Inspired by watching boring Transformers action figure reviews, the ShartimusPrime youtube channel was launched in 2008. Engaging the audience with an edgy sense of humor for adult collectors, action figure collecting has never been this fun, and videos are posted daily! Unexpectedly, the channel became more popular for Marvel Legends reviews and Spider-Man, Avengers, and X-Men collection display videos. After a few years, the channel has branched out to review other figure properties aside from Marvel Legends and G1 Transformers Masterpiece. Hot Toys, Star Wars, Diamond Select Toys, DC Collectibles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, Godzilla, Evil Dead, and The Walking Dead toy lines have all been added to the roster of nearly 2,000 video reviews. Japanese import figures from SH Figuarts, Bandai, Figma, Square Enix, and Medicom MAFEX have been favorites as well. More recently, Kotobukiya Statues (including the very sexy Bishoujo line) and NECA Toys have become more prevalent on the channel. Being a big fan of movies such as Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, Evil Dead, Pacific Rim, Aliens, and other films has lead the channel in the direction of also reviewing movies, movie trailers, blu ray releases, and tv shows. News updates for 2016 releases and beyond are also posted. Audience engagement is a big part of this channel, with giveaways and fan mail being read publicly once a week in the PO Box Pick-Up videos. Impressive “Shart-Art” is shared via social media and included in the opening theme song. The audience is also kept up to date with any changes to the channel, along with recent comic book pick-ups, unboxings, and action figure hauls. Stop-motion segments punishing the popular meme of the Big Time Let Down Spider-Man close most of the comparison segments, and are compiled together for guaranteed access to patrons. Lastly, all figure reviews close with a slideshow featuring dynamic poses of the figure inspired by ACBA, with the added bonus of music performed and recorded by ShartimusPrime himself.

    Unique sculpts, solid paint apps, affordable price, decent articulation, and a bunch of characters. Todd is lovingly making an action figure line that he can be excited about and for fans without any concerns to stockholders or a big profit margin. Artist driving company with decent pockets. I'm excited. 6 inch would have been nice but if this puts other companies on notice and pushes quality forward, I can get behind a good product.

      U know I honestly think, people are missing the boat on these figures, they are expecting McFarland to make these figures like everyone else probably would make them, when have u know McFarland to EVER do that. The figures are supposed to be based on that comic or show at that time, so if they drew the comic with skinny legs, well it’s sculpted that way, if they were drawn with exaggerated proportions, then they are sculpted that way. People complain that figures don’t have enough ankle articulation or vertical wrist articulation, but then complain of the way that it was sculpted. I mean come on they are $19.99!!

      My biggest issue there aside from Mafex having QC issues is that their Hush figures are solicited at 6.3 inches. Making them shorter than DCUC and Marvel Legends.

    • @jeremybarmann5976
      @jeremybarmann5976 5 років тому +2

      Comparing essentials to Legends is apples and oranges. Essentials is painfully obvious as soon as the figures are in hand that they share the exact same body mold, just different paint. Legends has dozens of different torso/legs/arms combos to reuse, and it's not super obvious from one figure to the next. Not to mention all the different separate/floating pieces they use, Marvel Legends are mold reuses done RIGHT. As many as they crank out a year, its absurd to think they wouldn't reuse. Why not?

      @pmgerard 5 років тому

      Saw 3 Supermen in a store. The metallic S is a separate piece and one had about 2 mm of yellow paint sticking out from UNDER the S. Otherwise clean.
      Of the 3 Batman, 2 had a bit of uneven flesh paint UNDER the chin but all 3 were otherwise solid.
      These figures all use a minimum of paint really, unlike ML, and instead tend to use molded plastic in different colors glued in.
      The only paint (aside from maybe wash) on Batman are his belt, chin, and eyes. His symbol is a separate piece molded black and glued in.
      Superman’s paint is limited to head, hands, and belt as well for the most part. His S is a separate piece of plastic painted one color glued overtop a yellow painted portion of his chest.
      Almost everything is molded in the color it is supposed to be and accent colors are separate pieces glued in. So paint rub won’t be a huge issue with these. No joints are painted. That might also be why John Stewart looks weird because McFarlane apparently REALLY works hard to make sure that no rubbing surfaces use any paint on them.

    • @DesignIncase
      @DesignIncase 5 років тому

      Got these two figures. These two figures in particular don't really have a huge chance to screw up the paint on the main body. The color is in the plastic.
      With Batman I really see some issues in the lining between the mask and the exposed mouth. Some people may see paint issues with the belt as that is also painted. Though it's two big areas.
      With Superman, similar deal. Paint on the belt. Mine you can barely make out the red layer beneath. Issue with Yellow paints in general. The metallic S I think is where you'll notice some issues just because it's the metallic. I only saw the one figure which I purchased. Pretty clean for me. Then of course the face could potentially be an issue between just because there is some paint for shading.
      Really the next step would have been to go the Hasbro route and make the belts separate from the main body.
      So DC heroes generally they should be good since there's not much color complexity. Though If they do New52 Flash with all his gold lines, I could see some issues.

    I just think if you are dictating weather or not to buy these based on what fits with your marvel legends then your doing it all wrong. I've always liked the fact that scale sets these properties apart. If it bothers you that much buy some DCUC figures they're the closest. Sorry to rant but this is why I stopped watching AF reviews. It's like articulation is the be all and end all and everything has to be as close to what Hasbro are doing as possible. I love legends but I'll collect these Mcfarlane figures because they're different from other properties. And Mcfarlane isn't just a toy maker he's an artist. I think these figures capture that beautifully.

    I just happen to found that the parts covering the shoulder gap is mostly installed in reverse for this superman 1000. That's why it looks quite weird. But they did change the installation of the shoulder parts in the 2 pack version making it looking way better. So you can try to remove the hand and take out the shoulder parts and flip them and put it back again. Once this is done the shoulder of superman will look wider and flush.

Even Transformers, just do a repaint and call it something else or slap a Autobot logo on a Decepti-creep.

      For me it’s a perfect mix. Got Wonder Woman and Flash from DCE. Superman and Batman from Todd. There’s no reuse between the 4. There will be if I get a DCE Green Lantern but two figures sharing a decent body doesn’t bug me. I’ll hold out for Todd to do Aquaman since I want the bearded Rebirth version and I think I’d rather have a Martian Manhunter from Todd.
      I think mixing works as you get less parts sharing than a stock DCC Essentials display but the option for DCC’s sleeker body, which I think works better for a Flash and GL than McFarlane takes will for me.

  • @DesignIncase
    @DesignIncase 5 років тому

    Of these two Batman is the better figure for me due to the articulation. If Superman had Batman's double jointed elbows and could look up then I'd give it to Superman(whose bigger head looks better to me on these bodies). I think Superman not looking up seems like the figure was designed to always hover on the stand so he has to look down. Looking down is pretty on point with this figure.
    Body sculpt, I think this is one those things that's personal preference. Some like the muscle bound look and others don't.
    For me when I was a kid, $20 did not buy these kinds of figures. Even now some features you really only find on a more expensive figure. I don't want to pay $30 or $40 for a figure. But I get it, some people wanna collect them all and want them perfect for them. Tack on what Macfarlane wants and there's going to be friction.
