    Tales from the Tubs. Love it. Lends itself to a 1950s style title card which goes all wavy, or wipes across left to right. Don't forget the exclamation point.

    I wish ToyBiz was still around. Their figures had so much character and charm.

    I love that Namor, I think they nailed the original Bill Everett art, the naïveté of the sculpt works

    Nice buddy. I had the shiny re-release of Scorpion and if that Conan had thigh swivel, I'd still have it on a shelf. Same with Doc Sampson...

    I agree modding toybiz parts onto modern Hasbro is definitely worth doing occasionally. The toybiz strange head modded to fit on the deluxe Hasbro classic strange is a must!! Highly recommend it

    That Hasbro Namor reminds me of Bill Everett's rendering , you could always do a first appearance shelf of heroes , seems kind of a shame to keep him in the tub. I guess I always try to find the beauty in the plastic.

    That Conan is great and I'd argue it still holds up today. I did see some people using Hercules' body to replace it and I was going to do the same as the new body does look better in pictures but once I got both side by side I decided to keep it original.

    Scorpion is still my shelf display. Hasbro's is fine but just cant beat it. Same goes for Bill though I wish Hasbro would take a crack at it. Gotta agree on that conan. He looks better than a lot of figures today. Super Skrull is one of those Ive always wanted. Wish I was collecting and could army build back then.

  • @brianng8350
    @brianng8350 11 місяців тому +2

    Interesting history and evolution of 6” figures. I never collected the Toy Biz or those bigger figures. I was a 3.75” collector and the 6” was a big price jump I resisted for a long time.

    Oh boy am I glad I missed the toy biz stuff (I really only got back into action figures when covid hit), I mean, I would've got 'em and had feelings for 'em like you, but I already have like 75% of the figures I picked up in that first year in tubs waiting to be used for something else (if I ever get to them). I don't wanna sound like a snob but I mostly have been trying to get just one or two imports at a time to replace the hasbro's and mattel's that I did pick up, for better articulation/sculpt/paint/accessories. Not to say all of 'em are bad, the figure that got me back is the Logan w/the cowboy hat and jeans (I think hasbro) and he's still front and center of my Wolvie shelf. My apartment is only two rooms (w/my "kitchenette" cut outta the corner of one, and bathroom cut outta the other), so space is at a premium, not to mention my line-cook income's small so I don't like giving my money to companies that treat their customers with open contempt

    So let me get this straight. People were upset about Laura getting a figure simply because the line is called "Marvel Legends" and she's a new-ish character? Really? Good lord

    • @brainlock72
      @brainlock72 11 місяців тому

      You had to be there. She only had a handful of comic appearances (mostly NYX), and the trash figure was based on them. The figure/s weren’t even good for fodder, due to horrid articulation and no other character looked like her.
      It was only after she was brought into the main X-titles (and X-Evolution toon) that she gained a following and became popular. I think the Deadpool Sauron wave was the next figure we got for her and it was an arguable slight improvement.

    Hey Robo any hints on the new content?🙂 Will it be all figure related? Thinking you could look at individual toy lines from the past or 'Robo tries to know' where you dive into a property your not that familiar with looking at the toys, games, movies, cartoon etc. I think people might enjoy that👍 anyway looking forward to whatever you have planned!!

    this might be the minimalist in me talking. But why not sale or donate the figures you don't want or need anymore?
    for the life of me. i will never understand why people will keep toys in a "tub." forget about them. buy MORE of the same or similar things, just to keep repeating the same process.

    • @RoboDontKnow
