Why Blue Marvel doesn't have a more prominent role in the Marvel Universe is a head scratcher. He's has a Superman-esque power set, an intelligence that rivals Reed Richards and has a secret underwater base. As a figure I would have liked his original costume. But I'm glad we finally got him in figure form.
beane 2099. Why is it a head scratcher? Just look at his origin. During his early career he was arguably the most powerful being on the planet. He beat Hyperion, he went toe to toe with namor, etc. Yet during a time when black people were fighting for equal rights, blue marvel a super powerful black man, who in his civilian identity would have been subjected to the same institutional racism as regular black people allowed the president to talk him in to retirement when they discovered he was black. Utter garbage and totally illogical. Nobody with that kind of power would have tolerated it. Especially since they had no way to enforce it had he refused. So yeah not really a mystery why they don't use him much in marvel comics.
Can't wait to get this guy! Gonna use MCU Chavez, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel to make up the Ultimates on my shelf, but do hope they release more modern/comic versions of Chavez and CM in the near future (CM definitely needs a redo on the Shriek body).
I think that this version of Blue Marvel should have come with Spectrum in a two pack and the cape & masked one should have been came out in 2017 at the latest.
And that's exactly why Hasbro do what they do... We keep buying whatever even if 50% of what we buying, within that one figure we want, sucks...😔😔😔😔I guilty too...🙄😔😔😔😔😔
Such an excellent looking figure with impressive articulation. I love it when Marvel Legends get things right and considering the price it makes the figure even more worth buying. As always I really enjoy your reviews and look forward to seeing many more, especially later this year when the new mafex are released
Great review, I preordered him the moment he went up so im super excited to get him in hand. Also love the pics as always but especially love that you did one with him and Grey/Ultimate Hulk to reference one of his best moments and coolest punch in comics.
D amazing I love your videos, i love how chill you are. I can be doing some homework and I can put a video of you just talking to entertain me. Thanks.
Awesome review hope you're doing well these are challenging times we all have to take a step back and make sure we take care of ourselves keep looking out for more awesome Videos that you put out really looking forward to seeing your take on Dorohedoro figs no rush I know you're busy God bless can't wait for what you got coming next
Is the hair a separate piece that's glued to the head? I'm not familiar Blue Marvel, but I want to use the head for a Robbie Robertson. I'm hoping to pull the hair off to paint it white.
i promise im not being a dick but Blue Marvel and Black Panther are on the same body my good man. great review though! you really showcase figures extremely well. you have for years.

Blue Marvel should be apart of the main Avengers team. Monica too
@@oscrmc8496 Totally agree. It's time.
Happens a lot with characters, look at sentry, so many characters it’s bound to happen.

The way you photograph and poses the figures really elevate the figures
I hope they make his classic look, this is cool for now though.
Your voice sounds like you're a late night, easy listening disc jockey. Easy on the ears and easy to understand!

Honestly I would have preferred the classic one with a cape and an alternate masked head, but I still bought it.

I love how chill your voice is on your videos lol
Blue Marvel looks great! The head sculpt is by Paul Harding who recently did the 20th Anniversary ML figures.
Glad you mentioned the grey hair. That's like a key feature on the character.
I’ve never even heard of this character and that thumbnail drew me in instantly. I’ve gotta go do my research now and learn all I can lol.
Nice Review D!
You mentioned your voice, it’s a good voice.
Very calm & soothing. Keep up the great vids
Love your reviews. Positive and soothing.
D amazing I love your videos, i love how chill you are. I can be doing some homework and I can put a video of you just talking to entertain me.
Thanks.
D, it’s actually the same buck as Black Panther, Magneto and Spider UK.
Your custom looks better then the manufactured😂😂
Very excited for Blue Marvel. Great suggestion on using Doom’s hands!
Been waiting soooo long for a Blue Marvel, just not this one. Thanks for the review
Damn he looks great. Nice shots too. I miss doing figure photography man
He's nice. Personally would have prefered his "old school" look myself but great figure though.
I've got him on pre-order. Looking forward to it arriving soon. Great review, as always.
Awesome review hope you're doing well these are challenging times we all have to take a step back and make sure we take care of ourselves keep looking out for more awesome Videos that you put out really looking forward to seeing your take on Dorohedoro figs no rush I know you're busy God bless can't wait for what you got coming next
Annnnnnnd now I can order this guy. Great review
ill have mine Thursday i think. hope do a blue marvel with his cap and all bad ass looking.
Hey D 👋, I've got him, Iron Man M70, & Speedball. I like all of them pretty much. Cool review 😎 👌.
Can't wait to have this guy in hand
That custom is fantastic
I may get this off the strength of The Ultimates being a great storyline and the Rocafort pencils in the beginning volumes.
Is the hair a separate piece that's glued to the head? I'm not familiar Blue Marvel, but I want to use the head for a Robbie Robertson. I'm hoping to pull the hair off to paint it white.
Holy cow, who were the people who did the custom? I couldn’t hear the names
Love…love this review… but can you hit me up on where I can get my owner custom version of Blue Marvel??? Please?
Yo welcome home blue marvel you rock
They should have honestly done the version with the cape and they could have done a battle damaged version and added an alternate head
Awesome figure. Great review. ..love the background. I need to step-up my game and create something like that for my reviews...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼😁
