Man, $30 Marvel Select's massive figures are giving more value for your money that the ever-rising prices of Hasbro figures.
Very true
Selects are really good value sometimes.
I preferred Select figures especially for characters that are normally huge, such as Juggernaut, Colossus and Hulk. Villains such as DST Ultron and Magneto are also good with capturing that "huge" video game boss sprites aesthetic.
@@Shadi092986 yup those are the ones I have too. Carnage looks cool but his plastic is rubbery, I've almost tossed him in the garbage many times lol.
The watcher is a really good one. The articulation is a bit lacking, but the paint and sculpt is phenomenal.
And, correct me if im wrong, but with select there s also not so much reuse right?
@Toni Leo usually there is little reuse. They don't have standard go-to bodies like Hasbro does. Obviously, you will have exceptions, like Red Hulk.
So glad to see you review a select figure. A lot of their recent figures are pretty solid despite their limited articulation. I hope we see a beta ray bill review soon, you won't regret getting him.
I never understood Marvel Legends, whose approach to figures (reusing sculpts, no paint) is insulting. And I think Diamond Select is underrated. Especially in the last 5 years or so. Wish Select would come out with some updated X-Men figures using more contemporary art references. Love their Psylocke, Rogue, and Beast, and even their older figures like Wolvie and Colossus.
The point of marvel legends was *supposed* to be character availability with acceptable articulation, I believe. That just stopped being a thing once they pushed past the $20 mark (and I'd argue even lower than that amount for quite a few of them).
Select has the iceman coming out, but I don't like that you can see the internals. Wish they would have painted it like the base he comes with. I might still pick it up and do that myself.
Man that is the most solid Red Hulk I've ever seen, despite the limited articulation. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for this guy, he definitely blows Marvel Legends figures out of the water
Limited articulation ? He is actually the same as the Marvel Legends red hulk, only thing that the Marvel select dont have are the backwards Butterflies .
@@Aita88 did you even watch the review? even if you didnt, marvel select is contractually obligated to limit articulation.
@@RipCord1995 not anymore All the new ones included lady Deadpool...... have very good articulation , nor did i just watched the review i had both in hands the red one and the Immortal one, also including the marvel Legends hulk figures in any Variation also maestro. You can do much cool hulk poses with it. Also almost a hulk clap, That you cannot do with the Marvel Legends one , thanks to the one sided butterflys.
Is it hard to find ?? I mean a target or wallmart??
Yeah I agree. I wish they would do Weapon H though
Hasbro should absolutely be ashamed of themselves for the cost they’re asking as of the last year. This thing and so much else blows them off the planet for the price point.
Side note: if I’m not mistaken, this MS Hulk and ML Hulk bucks were both sculpted by Gentle Giant.
Yet but that's a whole studio. It can't have been the same guy... Or... Whoever is doing the contracts at Hasbro is getting too involved
I buy the larger select figures and I find they work so well with legends
With that new Gamerverse Spider-Man, I kind of wonder if Hasbro is just testing the waters, just seeing how far they can push it with the price until we've had enough.
I have the first gamer verse spider man legends did and the select Trust me get the select
I've already had enough. I only buy Marvel Legends and Black Series if I see them at a reduced price.
Dang they should do an abomination select with this type of articulation
They should do it with the Thing from The Fantastic Four and Juggernaut from The X-Men too
I'm a hardcore marvel legends collector and I have this figure on my shelf as my red hulk and a marvel select green hulk and they're both perfect in terms of aesthetics and cheaper.
Wow! A day after claiming your job isn't any easier because Hasbro ML (Gamerverse Spidey in this case) doesn't make it so, Diamond Marvel Select comes to the rescue. It's great to hear enthusiasm back in your videos - thanks for that. I upgraded my ML with the Select Rulk and am not looking back at all - that evil grin ....whoa.
I want to sincerely thank you for this review - as a fan of DST I seldom find reviews of their products compared to ML's. If I could encourage you to look into some more of their product, let me state that their Titanium Man, Torch, and Iron Man Silver Centurion are just some I think you will not be disappointed with.
Re: Articulation. Diamond Select is restricted due to the conditions of the licensing agreement with Marvel (through Disney and Hasbro by-the-way) that articulation be limited. This is why DST has focused on the larger Marvel characters recently.
The thing is though, that if the articulation is on the figure, it's allowed to be there and should work properly.
@@AnthonysCustoms I'm not sure if you'd have any insight into this (talked to anyone on design teams or something), but why doesn't it? Is it laziness, incompetence, not testing it? I think your point, that if it's there, it should work, is valid, but we see it not being the case so frequently it makes me question why.
@@AnthonysCustoms 100% agree. With DST, I've needed some heat on the joint with a lot of intimidating pressure to move them, but once loose it works.
Man, I hate licensing
Got my Red Hulk a few weeks ago to go with my Hulk. Love what Marvel Select keeps churning out. More bang for your buck!
I think they purposely don’t make the articulation work because in past interviews they said they don’t(not allowed) to step on hasbros toes
That would be based on design, not execution.
MADE MY NIGHT! I was actually both surprised and happy because I am diehard follower of Anthonyscustom and DST for their works like Red Hulk! This was such a good review as always! Glad you picked this Marvel Select Red Hulk and reviewed it for us! Glad to also see you being genuinely pleased with it as well! It's indeed a beast for a steal, especially compared to the ML market which is insane! Hope you get your hands on the green Hulk as well, pretty sure you gonna enjoy it too... especially in hand! Can't wait to receive my Red Hulk and do stop motion with it!
Thanks for the review! I do hope you continue to review more Marvel Select figures in the future as I'm sure a lot of people mix and match with Marvel Legends, especially the bigger guys. Plus, I keep getting impressed with Marvel Select who seem to improve year after year with usually a pretty darn good value for the money and more and more disappointed with Marvel Legends. If I had any interest in the Red Hulk, I'd get him. Then again, as a bad guy, he looks impressive.
Ordered one today.....
Thank you Anthony😮
enjoy
Marvel select is like mcfarlane. Sometimes there are issues but it's so much value for your money. I'm hoping they re-release the PS4 spider-man so I don't have to buy the hasbro spidey.
Me, too!
The select PS4 Spidey is beautiful.
I remember the days where it was clear that marvel legends was at least slightly better than select. Select used to be so wonky in terms of sculpt, paint, and articulation, but now I’d say that marvel select is head and shoulders better than legends. And now they’re so close in price that it doesn’t seem like that hard of a choice between buying a new marvel legends or a new marvel select
Marvel Select reminds me of how Marvel Legends USED to be!
like always thank you for amazing reviews . i was able to get both green and red marvel select hulk.
I lol’d when you reprimanded Darwin and told him to stand neutral. This guy looks great! Awesome review Anthony 👏😘💋❤️😽😘
Thank you!
I've loved having MS figures for my display. Sometimes they're bricks and the scale can be all over the place, oh carnage, but when the value proposition is there, it's nearly a instant buy. I'm convince the only reason they don't push Hasbro more is the scale, rumored contractual articulation restrictions, and just limited releases. But there's been more than one time I question getting ML and just stick with MS. Would be easier on the wallet for sure
Great review, man! I'll probably pick this one up.
I got that fig 2 months ago. Its actually a very good dig
If you have a few minutes you might want to look into what Hasbro (Wizards of the Coast) is doing with the D&D open gaming license (OGL). It really highlights their current profit-driven mindset in my opinion.
Edit: DnD Shorts is the prominent UA-cam channel covering what’s going on.
Forany of the larger scale figures, i would always go for the Diamond select over Legends. Just waiting on the Apocalypse to see how that onepans out. I prefered the Selects Hulk Buster and the Titaniumman is great. Especially at that price point.
I've been really impressed with Diamond Select's recent offerings. I'd love to know who sculpted this Red Hulk. Diamond brought sculptor May Thamtarana on a couple years ago and he's been killing it with that amazing Titanium Man and Vision.
I have the select hulk with my marvel legends comics figures and i love it
Man that Darwin is just too OP! Anthony's gonna have to nerf him LoL
I really like this hulk mold and I don't hate the face on the green one. The articulation isn't great, but it's good enough for hulk and IMO they both look much better than their ML's counterparts.
Oh I'M CHANGING TO SELECT right now!! Did you look at that VISION figure? These guys know what they're doing!!
Vision's articulation is super disappointing... But, boy, I still got it because I'd rather pay $35 for a nice looking VIsion with accesories and unique sculpt instead of $100 for the Legends Retro one.
Mine arrives in two weeks, can't wait!
Great review Anthony! But I think your videos could really benefit from more comparison if you want to stay objective, in general I'm not seeing night and day difference between this & legends, things you point out on select (sculpt, proportion), legends has it 50/50 when I'm eyeing that from mine, it's not that much of a difference. I know it's more work, but hey I'd love for a more insight from you ha. That saying I love them all anyway, more Hulks the better!. Having a tad bit more fun with the legends cause of articulation & scale, that makes a huge difference imo. You should buy the green version btw, head is fine in person, Keep up the good work! 👍
~B
Iirc they're both sculpted by gentle giants. With DST came out later, it's nice that they tweaked the sculpt. Hasbro getting "shafted" With the old mold lol
i highly doubt thats how it happened. more like hasbro told them how to sculpt it so the figure matched all the other goofy sculpts.
I have the green Hulk and I think it looks better than both the 80th and 20th Anniversary Hasbro Hulks. The ML Hulks just look so boxy and have no neck. Also, the shoulders stick out a little too much for my liking. For only $30, the select Hulk is bigger, has a more organic sculpt, and has dark/light shading throughout the musculature. It has a nice heft, and personally, I like the shade of green they used. I wish he came with a gritting teeth head since it can look weird having him always with a yelling expression. The articulation isn't a huge deal breaker for me, but I do think the shoulders and the torso could be better. Overall, I'm impressed with how much quality and care was put into both the green and red Hulks. It honestly feels like an import (I know, I'm exaggerating 😂)
I'm definitely getting the Select classic Vision they just released. It's a little tall for ML, but you can hide that through some posing plus I think it'll look better than that Retro Vision that's hundreds of dollars on the aftermarket.
Another great review - figs like these, at this price point, despite the recession, put Hasbro to shame.
I'm pretty sure both the select and the legends have the same sculptor - gentle giant, which makes for more head scratching
are you gonna review the marvel select vision??? has some great accessories and a really good look, only thing is it might be too big, but considering hes a robot i think its fine, would love to hear your review and thoughts on it
Given the past DST Cap, Iron Man and Hawkeye, Vision would complete Data East's own Kooky Quartet in Captain America and the Avengers.
It's too big, but if you put him in the back you can't really tell.
Gentle Giant also did the sculpt for the Marvel legends version.
yes
The butterfly joints & forearm swivels on the hasbro hulks, make a BIG difference, when u have them all in person.
Forearm swivel?
@@AnthonysCustoms You read right. Have u not opened that 20th anniversary Hulk you showed? The bicep & the forearm rotate independently from each other. You should know this....
OOOOOOHHHHHH BOY! I was waiting for you to review this guy!
Why do you make me want to buy Darwin? 👽👀
Anthony: Don't pay $25 for this thing.
Also Anthony: *Makes Darwin look like a cool and fun figure*
@@nhyar I know but the meme of Darwin is just that strong.
I don't know if this has been asked before, but are you considering reviewing the Jujutsu Kaisen Figures from S.H. Figuarts in the near future?
Hey Anthony if u heat it up the bicep swivel works a lot better
yes. i said you can flex the pvc to make it move more.
I hope you get the select Beta Ray Bill figure. It looks amazing. I'd be interested to see your review on it.
I think i ordered it
Sweet.
I like this and the hulk. I just feel like they are way to big for legends. I know he can be huge sometimes. But some figures just scale better with legends and fit very well.
Thanks for reviewing this! Beta Ray next please please please!!!!
will do
On the green hulk the head sits on the neck fine in person. It looks weird for some reason in there promo images
good to know. thanks
You should review the MS Beta Ray Bill when it comes out
An alternate head with mustache and sunglasses would have been a great addition.
This would be really cool as a Tager (from BlazBlue) custom base
I find marvel select is always cheaper than marvel legends retail price and I have a few big ones like titanium man and the Hulk Buster just beautiful figures
I don't wanna defend Hasbro being cheapstakes,but does it help Dianmond Select also makes statues so they can cover new molds for almost every figure? Does that have anything to do with the production of the figure?
Also,I love the most of the time Dianmond will either give some huge figure or something with a ton of accessories
Picked up three...
I think in 2023 not escalating the price might justify the missing alternative head. I would prefer them to include it and charge just a bit more but I wouldn't fault them too much over that detail given how well painted and all he is. That's my insight.
I like marvel selects for larger figures where limited articulation isn't as big as a deal. That said I'm fine with my marvel legends 80th Anniversary Hulk and Red Hulk.
You see now Hasbro this is how you freaking do a perfect red hulk figure as well as green savage hulk too in marvel legends form!
I agree I don’t understand how both sell Disney marvel products pay Disney tax but select is a limited release while legends are retail but charge more for less. I know they never will but I hope they were just admit that the CEO of Hasbro said he wants to increase profits by 50% I believe. We would have more respect for the company as collectors if they were just honest and said hey, we got greedy we are sorry. But we all know that’ll never happen.
The sculpt and paint work look incredible. His feet look as if he's wearing flippers.
Thanks for the review, Anthony. Gonna have to pick this one up now. I also have Rampaging Hulk, Venom, Abomination and Juggernaut from MS and love them to pieces.
Can anyone recommend other MS figures that go for retail that are absolutely worth it, pls? Ty! ✌️ p
sabertooth
I wish MS. would come up with some better packaging. Its impossible to take them out of the plastic w/o. completely destroying the package. Still , this Red Hulk kills it. So i had to buy one. Good review. Thanks.
Cut the bottom of the plastic clam shell with an exacto like with the retro carded marvel legends.
I think you can actually keep the package mostly intact if you open it from the side where they put the art and the character's name.
I honestly think Hasbro doesn't expect people to buy their figures at full price. Selects tend to stay the same price or increase over time. Rarely will I see selects go on sale or clearance. On the other hand, I see legends go on sale before they are even released, sometimes.
Seems Hasbro prices their stuff under the assumption that at least half, if not most, will sell at a discounted price. So the actual prices average out to be much lower at retail.
That's a really interesting theory.
If their figures sell at full price, they win.
If the figures go on clearance, they still win.
Even the people who are into customizing could keep Hasbro alive by buying a bunch of figures on sale like Vulcan to use.
I see selects and legends go on sale all the time on Amazon but the difference is there's more legends so more legends with discounts
I’m surprised you hate the headsculpt on the immortal hulk figure- granted, it looks nothing like the immortal hulk (oddly enough the red hulk face sculpt is more accurate to immortal hulk) but Imo it’s probably the best face sculpt of any comic hulk figure.
The photos don't do it justice from what i hear
the headsculpt is definitely the weakest aspect of that figure. Dude's not screaming, he just opens his mouth as wide as he can lol
One of the best figures of the year
ive heard from another reviewer that Selects have limited articulation and range because they are forced to do so so they dont fully compete w/ Legends
I don't really follow DST, but with everyone else raising prices over these last few years, has DST just not done that?
I worked at a shop in 2019 that sold them for $30, so It's kind of crazy that they're still that price. Hasbro is, probably, the largest toy company and they're just churning out blah lately.
They have raised their prices too, just not like Hasbro.
If I remember correctly, they were like $23-$26 (I'm pretty sure I paid $23 for my Select Venom from BBTS ten years ago, lol), nowadays most Select figures are like $30, but yeah, as far as I know they haven't increased their prices since that even with the inflation, which Hasbro actually uses as an excuse.
OMG! Diamond Select please take my money!!!
What score would you give the marvel select juggernaut?
Idk. I haven't handled that figure in years. If i don't have one, I'll buy one and review it some day
@@AnthonysCustoms you should, it’s really good.
9 myself almost perfect just a tiny bit more articulation
Their Hulk is awesome. I have the green Hulk and that's only Hulk I'd ever like considering the price from all other Hulks. Ridiculous pricy for not so much better features or size.
I want to see Darwin's head collection. He seems to be head every figure you review.
Dang, I thought Darwin would finally be defeated but it ended up in another head for his personal collection, lol.
A lot of people love to bring up the "license fees" argument to defend Hasbro's prices and somehow Diamond Select can release stuff like this for $25-$30... Yeah, no, that's bs.
Sure, you can do so much with their articulation but the Marvel Select line can do really nice display pieces from time to time.
Their Hulks, Vision and Beta Ray BIll are great figures even if their articulation isn't the best.
Cool
The pic doesn't do the immortal hulk headsculpt justice, it looks better in hand
That's what I'm hearing. I'll track one down
@4:55 I have been watching your reviews for years and you have some bad luck with qc lol. Not all the time but more than most reviewers. That ear is crazy, someone ripped his 90's hoop earring out. Great review, thanks.
it's true
Just FYI, this is the same sculper that did that 80th hulk.
same company for sure but was it actually the same sculptor?
@@AnthonysCustoms I forgot but seen it in a video, they said it's the same sculptor or crew. The wrists and ankles have almost identical weird nubs too.
Nice...
Darwin - half the man but twice the power of a Hulk! 🔥 ridiculous!
I need a Red Hulk to go with my Green Hulk I think my Green Hulk scale perfectly with my Marvel Legends.
Waw 29 bucks..i wanna buy that dude
Not bad, eventhough I usually don't collect these figures
4:56-Darwin did that off camera
Just one point, Its CHEAPER in USA, in countries like India, we pay more for figs that are heavy, big boxes due to customs and increased shipping. Its costs $ 40 in shipping from bbts, LOL. ML costs USD 8 or 16 max for shipping.
That's not a factor in determining value per dollar as far as a review goes. Having to ship to India isn't a problem with the figure, just unfortunate circumstances for the collector.
@AnthonysCustoms Yeh, I agree. But customs charges too much here, 45% to 80% , we pay crazy prices here to acquire even basic ML. Wish I was in the USA, hehe!
Articulation's disappointingly a deal-breaker. I know articulation isn't Select's strong suit but this is almost as egregious as their Invincible figures. Makes me worried about their Beta Ray Bill.
Hasbro is just price gauging.
This Red Hulk does a have nice sculpt.
It's a bummer he doesn't have another head, and some better articulation.
Oh wow they even sculpted a mole on the lower lip. This is insane.
Marvel select have gained a good reputation for bigger Sized characters like hulk, titanium man and apocalypse. Also since hasbro has been sucking so much with that new gamer verse Spider-Man figure, you might wanna look at the marvel select one, sure it’s bigger but the sculpt is great
Their disney store exclusive ones are solid too. Taskmaster is probably one of my favorite figures I own and I ended up liking the loki + kid loki way, way more than I expected to.
Does it have knock offs???
Don't know
Fun fact: both the marvel select hulk and the ML 80 years hulk were sculpted by the same person.
i know they were both gentle giant. was it actually the same guy though?
Yes Steve did them
Yo I love your videos. Can u please review Kure Raian and Ohma Tokita from Kengan Ashura (Netflix show) 🙏🏽
thanks. no plans to review those. sorry
@@AnthonysCustoms awww ok 👍🏽 thanks for responding 🙏🏽
Hey, will you make any special video when you reach the 200k subscribers? Just wondering
i think ill just do a live q&a
Eh, it's just a scale-up version of legends with better-sized feet, head, hands, but with much worse articulation. Idk why people are crazy quick saying this is MUCH better than Legends, when everything is virtually the same other than the scale, price & value. Well, I guess price does makes that really huge of a deal huh. I owns them all, apple and orange in the end. I think we're due for a new style of Hulk.
The sculpt is so much better it's hardly comparable at all
@@AnthonysCustoms I do think it's better than legends too yeah, but it's still in the same ballpark generally speaking, same silhouette, same style & it came off more as a "retool" from the same mold in the end. Me personally woulda prefer different style, considering now Legends & Select will be doing virtually this "same" Hulk mold for lord knows how many times in the future lol.
lol why does darwin love to steal heads...
Yo
I believe The Select and the Marvel Legends hulks are sculpted by the same guy.
Same studio, yes.
Same guy, maybe not.
Are you Canadian? I'm lost when you measure in metric. Get to inches already lol
... What? I measure in both units within seconds of each other in every video.
Marvel Legends prizes are not reasonable. They only surfing on the fact they are Hasbro... even the plastic, paint and sculpt quality is not higher than on any other figure that is not hasbro. Just the fact they are Hasbro they put higher prices on these Darwins.
Darwin🤣
I don’t understand why diamond select does 99% of their figures better than hasbro
Too much traps lol
No way
Some of the selects look great, just too big to really stand in with legends
Darwin has no shame. he even sniffs belly button lint?! ewwwwwuh
