Yes. Please talk about the scam the action figure industry has become. The wide rage you get for the price point is ridiculous.
Marvel legends retro Beast is a Messss all scams lowest price 80 dollars and all averaging 100 and it was all retailed 27
@@Rekk3x That has fuck--all to do with the industry.
@@AlanDavidDoane Mr Alan David Doane my bad I mean resell industry industry still pretty ass but there slightly getting better
Anthony, I think the thought is Unanimous. The only reason why I watch most of your reviews is because you word things similar to what I opinionate on them.
And, Anthony, to answer your question, Yes, this is a complete rip-off. The wings could have been done SOOOOOOOOOO much better.
I saw him today and i was hyped to get this figure then i saw it was 34.99 and i put it back saying i couldnt do it lol
Meanwhile the Select Archangel: 29.99 usd. Whole new sculpt 😂
It was the same thing with Apocalypse. Select Apocalypse is same price and overall better value, meanwhile the Legends one was like $10 more. No paint, less accessories although good for Marvel Legends offering, damn near the same amount of articulation.... The collectors need to really stop treating Legends like the end-all-be-all line. It is so old now.
And this one still better lol
@@ReeceHoward06honestly, this is why I’ve been getting Select instead of Legends for years!
Even better: SHF Kid Naruto
$30, yet it's a brand new sculpt, comes with a ton of accessories (such as multiple hands and faces, a Rasengan effect, etc), tons of articulation, etc
Yes, discuss the action figure industry.
Yes
Particularly with comparing and contrasting smaller companies with low MOQ, such as Jada Toys vs Super7. I understand ThunderCats has a much smaller audience than Street Fighter (so smaller quantities made), but TMNT too??
Please do make a video about the toy industry.
Opinion pieces from people who have actually followed the industry for a long time is good for the community imo.
The wings on this figure do look quite impressive at first glance.
I don’t really collect Marvel Legends and this isn't enough to sell me on it. I would much rather collect Marvel Select than these.
The wings help highlight how there’s no texture on the figure and make it look even worse, lovely
Oh man, I wouldn't want any texturing on the suit. It's supposed to be a smooth spandex outfit with zero texturing. I get what you mean, you prefer the way Mcfarlane does it. Like even when they're trying (and failing) to do a classic costume look, they still sculpt all this criss-cross texturing. It throws off the whole comic book look, and makes it look more like a modern movie version. I think a lot of younger fans don't realize (or just don't prefer) comic characters aren't supposed to have intricately detailed fabric suits.
I agree, discussion about the action figure industry 💯
He doesn't know anything about the industry or how it works.
@@sinchman1 who me?
Definitely talk about it. There is no way a marvel legends is worth 35 dollars. They do too much reuse with very few accessories and not enough paint for that price.
Did you purchase the figure
I'm convinced that Marvel Legends assumes a certain percentage of figures will sell at discounted rates and raises the price to account for it.
@@sinchman1The angel Figure? Nope. And I won't unless it is discounted. The last marvel legend I bought at retail price was the galactus haslab.
Yes, Anthony. Please make a video on your professional opinion of the adult collectible industry, because companies like NECA release figures for Assassin’s Creed games that are unique sculpts, with multiple accessories, and TONS of (well-applied) paint for $27.99…
I think Neca figures look great but they’re articulation is just awful
I'm with you. I can't see myself pain an extra $10 just for a set of wings. Especially since it's on the Vulcan body which is they're using like crazy for basic figures.
When you remember that Select Cap is the same price point....insane.
I don't defend Hasbro's pricing, but there are some key differences, from a business perspective, between select and legends.
DST is a way smaller company with way less over head. They aren't publically owned so they don't have to worry about making decisions based on stock holders. The also are less diverse in their product than Hasbro, which benefits them. Less risk of a product line flopping. These things allow them to put out a better product.
Hasbro is a huge company with tons of over head. They have their hand is all kinds of brands and product lines. If a product fails, they find somewhere else to squeeze some dollars from. They cut corners because they answer to stock holders, not consumers. The larger the company, the lower the quality of a product tends to be.
You would think it's the other way around, but quality and price tends to be a curve. You start out with high quality and high price. Then as a company grows, price goes down while quality stays high. Once a company becomes Hasbro size price goes back up but quality goes down. It's rare you'll have a big main stream company that sells the volume Hasbri sells that also maintains high standards.
Cheaper actually
Same goes for SHF
Like Kid Naruto and SSJ Trunks
@@luvfreedom1470 oh yeah this one s 35
The difference between Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classified Series makes it feel they are made by different companies
That’s because the Joe team (and Transformers team) care. The Marvel Legends team is full of lazy assholes that really don’t care.
For sure, with the exception of the accessories. The guns are still void of paint apps, or maybe one application of paint here and there. The defunct Lightning Collection did the best job.
Need the video on the toy industry, your perspective reflects what a lot of collectors are feeling.
Another perfectly clear, honest and objective review highlighting the plethora of problems with the action figure industry. At present, the steep price hike for figures is grossly damning; in fact, I would strongly contest insulting [to the consumer(s)]. And the thing is, this is not solely an isolated issue - many companies are held accountable [for] diddling around with half-assed costly action figures. Hasbro is at fault, but they are not alone in this swindle.
Mister Anthony, I of course appreciate your refreshingly real reviews. An in-depth/deep dive video analysis discussing the action figure industry scam would be a cracking watch to see. Time permitting, of course.
Cheers,
Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧🇮🇹
Only things I'd change is mentioning they did a great job on the head sculpts, and the engineering on the wings was very well done - best feathered wings I have in my big collection. Other than that, I have the same sentiments.
theres nothing more heroic than cankles
You definitely should do a video talking about the toy industry.
He should review the new Figma Guyver figure
Yes, yes Anthony should do a video about the current state of the industry. If possible, add in some data regarding the past couple/few decades (especially what ToyBiz was capable of) and what current offerings from various companies cost and what accessories are included. As a Canadian, Hasbro prices are not that far off from Japanese Imports. I used to be a completist for Black Series, Classifieds, and 80-90% of Legends. Collectively they now make up 15% of my toy collecting (and I have not decreased my toy budget, I have merely switched up my focus - Mezco, Mafex, Revoltech, and other imports). Classified and Retro GIJ offer the best from Hasbro IMO, but the prices have increased and even with that line, the plastic, paint and reuse have me walking away from a lot of their products.
@@zanth2449 I just got the marvel legends spiral because MVC plus the new jada line picking up but mainly because the figure itself and Anthonys review. If you love figures check out the new figma Guyver, I never seen the show but boy does it fit well with various manga and sci fi figures
Yes, PLEASE do a video talking about the action figure industry and explain things like why Legends cost more than Select other than Diamond Select is not as big as Hasbro, I actually would watch a full hour long video about something like that
Look 35 bucks for a figure like this one needs to come with a flying stand sculpted details new articulation and a couple of accessories.
The alt head just drank milk lol
Yeah showing too much calcium 😂
I'm probably late to saying this, but the Marvel Legends Archangel at retail was $19.99, and that figure came with 4 heads in total and fully painted wings.
And it's not like times changed, McFarlane can sell winged figures for the same price as his other figures on the shelf. Ech.
The marvel legends method: Make figures so bad that the slightest bit of effort on new figures makes the hasbros think its figure of the year. This could've been a great figure if the vulcan body wasn't so flawed and lazy. The glove cut, ab crunch and swivel, hinged neck and shoulders on a figure that was designed to be reused 100 times.
i would absolutely love to hear your thoughts about the collectible action figure industry in a separate video. it’s ludicrous
My preorder at BBTS hit my POL and I thought I would watch some reviews on the figure. I searched for your review of the figure and nothing came up. Feeling let down, I added Shardimus and a few other reviews of the figure to my watchlist. Hankering for one of your reviews, I watched the OG Angel review (hilarious btw) and then rewatched one of your demos of Rival Clans. As that finished lo and behold, this review hits my notifications. Either I am a telepath and you whipped up a review during the time I was watching oldies but goodies, or I have Longshot-like luck and the review materialized in my watchlist. Either way, thanks for being so prompt with my review watching demands!
I'm the telepath
Yes Anthony please talk about the action figure industry, it's getting ridiculous around these times
No problem with the 50% price hike, afterall they're giving us more plastic.
And likewise, when they offer barebone sculpts with no paint jobs, they decrease the price accordingly too... Oh wait, they don't. Nvm then.
In the meantime, stop collecting Hasbro 📦
The fact that I can buy Shf for $35 & ML deluxe is also $35 just shows why we are in the latter end of collecting eventually the bubble has to burst
The extra cost wouldn't be so rough if it came with comparable accessories to their previous "deluxe" figure...Archangel. I get this might be a stretch of a thought, but if they included comic book version Apocalypse's arm cannon (similar thing they did including the claw hand w/Archangel), that would've been great...and no new tooling involved since they gave that to toon Apocalypse.
Thanks for the review Anthony. I had anticipated this video since I received mine. My initial impressions where exactly like your experience. I suspiciously examined the figure inspecting how amateurish the figure was made. My white "paint" is sheer, almost pinkish. My elbows and knees are crimson while the buck is painted fire engine. I felt very cheapened with the product and when I watched certain reviewers claiming it to be one of the figures of the year - I just thought mine was the runt of the litter.
Please make a video of your indiscretions with the major toy companies. Your viewpoints on this trainwreck of a marketplace would be intriguing.
Yes. I bet there are many of us that would like to hear your views on the toy industry. Nice review.
Do that video man. Really can't believe that this figure is almost twice as expensive as Jada's or Jazwares' Pokémon stuff. Crazy
Only ML im collecting right now are some of the MCU figures which im a little late to the party on , because I enjoy the sculpted detail , which is something most of there comic figures lack IMHO.
I imagine they'll release a non-deluxe repaint eventually like the first appearance iron man and war machine, so I'm gonna hold off for that
Yes please make a video about the toy industry. And Marvel Legends packing goes right into the recycling, unless it's a grail figure.
Can't wait for Anthony to review the upcoming action figures like ghost rider danny ketch, carnage retro
That alt headsculpt looks like a ventriloquist dummy lol
Mhm
I burst out laughing when you showed the smiley face. You should review some of the McFarlane figures that have smiling headsculpts, you'll be wishing to dream about Angel's face after reviewing those!
Yeah I would to hear your take on the toy industry. The prices and just how they are marketing toys
I know it’s beating a dead horse, but I’d love for you to make a full video discussing the bad the collectible action figure community has become. As someone who is making their own figures heading your input would be awesome!
Yes please do talk about it.🙏 Would love to hear about amazing yamaguchi as well, it’s been so long since the last time you talked about their figures and they’ve changed so much since then.
Its amazing no other review has mentioned the price just how great it is . And marvel select will give us arcangel with wings and accessories and more plastic for $29.99.
It's time to consider why things aren't being said
@@AnthonysCustoms i know why but yea you should do your video on the toy industry now . Its my feeling that soon most collectors will be priced out .
Yes talk about the figure industry
I'd like to see a video of you talking about the Toy Industry. I am looking at giving up collecting altogether because of all these bad decisions being made by companies, prices out of control for what you do get, and overall being taken advantage of through nostalgia.
Yes please do a video on the toy industry.
Yes, do a video on the toy industry.
IMO, it’s the same thing plaguing other industries, the fast food industry leaps to mind. Corporations are driving consumer prices up and reducing quality in order to drive stockholders’ satisfaction
Yes please talk about the Action figure industry. I'm just getting flat out burned out from it all. The prices and value for your money is just nuts these days.
I remember when i found hasbro marvel legends archangel when clamshell packaging was still the thing for $20. A figure very similar: action figure and a set a wings. Now i see this for $35. I'll buy it used later.
Just got this today, The wing joint to connect to the back is completely solid. Nothing will loosen it so the wing only goes straight back
yes pls! make that video of your overview of toy industry, really would enjoy that.
Archangel was more expensive, but he also came with multiple heads and the Apoc Claw thingy, so I felt better about paying $10 more for that figure (I think it was 30 when normal ones were 20).
I will continue to say, that I just can't do the different colored knees and elbows for these pinless figures. It's ont of those things I can't unsee even when they're up on a shelf
Yes, do a vidéo about the toy industry. You’re getting more and more emo on Hasbro and Mcfarlane toys lol
I wish you had done a comparison between angel and archangel.
I'd love to see a video about the current toy industry.
There's a lot of things worth talking about.
This Angel figure being a "deluxe" is bs... Don't forget they are also making a new Superior Spidey that also costs a bit more because they added the spider legs and some parts are kinda new but it's still mostly a reused mold.
That new Wolverine is a full new mold and is cheaper.
I got this figure because i am mentally weak for winged characters but you’re right, $35 is too much. Would love to hear you talk more on the toy industry. Things are getting crazy. Like why are there 5 separate TMNT figure lines in production…
Pleas do that video you suggested on the toy industry. I only collect fairly casually, and would love to hear your insights!
As for your question of the day; I don’t mind paying extra for a figure with wings, since it’s similar to larger characters costing more. At the end of the day, it’s still additional limbs, mass, paint, and design; but the price increase needs to be appropriate, and it looks like they charge too much in this figure’s case
(Also, even before I watched the video, I could feel the sarcasm in the video's title haha)
If they had to glue on forearms, they should have made them gountlets that are rotatable on pure red plastic below the elbow. You're right on that the shin swivel should have been a boot cut with the triangle molded onto the boots.
I've always appreciated your honesty and objectivity when it comes to these reviews. Would love to hear your thoughts on the industry as a whole.
On my side, I only cherrypick the characters I actually like from the line, so certain X-Men and Avengers. I'm not a completionist by any extent. But if say Jada Toys were to ever get the license and make these characters like they're doing with Street Fighter, that'd be a Godsend. I honestly think GI Joe Classified is the only line that Hasbro are putting any quality into and even then I hear of QC issues with some releases and I've experienced some myself.
YESSSSSSS!!!... Make that damn toy industry video. And you make it GOOD!
Relax
If this figure were a car, I'd call it a '20-footer" - from a distance, looks okay; up close, it's an absolute friggin mess. I stopped collecting Legends a couple years ago, and I couldn't be happier lol. I'd love to see a video about the industry!!! Excellent review as always, keep up the amazing work!
I'm happy to have him. The one thing that had to go , that yellow sludge for hair !! 😂. Sent the head off to have the hair removed and redone, alot happier now.
Yes to the toy industry video. Add "artificial scarcity" or whatever the actual term is to the discussion too. Companies out here are selling army builders or sought-after characters locked in exclusives, "questionable" 2 packs, and scummy reissues (McFarlane).
I like to call "artificial scarcity" "scalper exclusive," because it usually ends up being the same thing.
Hasbro does it more with the Ashoka troopers.
@@chewymew yep, like Neca TMNT stuff, esp the toon one.
Personally I think it’s just ok. The price brings it down and yes you should do a vid on the industry. I’m getting tired of “collector tax” as well.
Back to the figure, I like him but the wings aren’t that spectacular. They’re good but the way he was presented was like the second coming on a plate.
In Europe some retailers sell it for 43€. Out of control
Absolutely absurd for Marvel Legends.
The pricing of action figures outside the US and Japan is an interesting topic really.
Here in India, Mcfarlane figures usually go for that much (lol not paying that) but lines like Marvel legends and the Black Series have always been sold for the usual price.
Interstingly enough, I have found many Mafex figures being sold at around an $80 price point in local places, which is good for me because I mostly collect Mafex, SHF and Figma.
In my country some resellers sell it for $70+ and which is worse some people are buying this crap from them lol
This figure costs $60 CAD here in Canada. Absolutely insane and people STILL bought him..
I do prefer squared off most of the time better for side by side or stacking👌🏻 Yeah the price hiking is unfortunate some justified others ridiculous😂
Please review the marvel select angel just for fun right after this one
Yes, make a video about the industry pls
I was thinking of getting this, thank you Anthony for the review.
I can’t believe they only painted the top of his gloves/boots instead of giving him new ones
Yes, please make video of toy industry. I stopped collecting ML , Hasbro stuffs are very expensive over here in South east Asia and this figure is selling at S$60 over here
I’m glad you reviewed this. Was tempted to pick it up. I still might if they release a blue variant tho. Or if I manage to find one for $25. Anthony, can the DS Sabertooth be fudged in with a ML Wolverine? Muchas gracias and keep up the good work.
For sure. The Diamond Select Sabertooth scales well with Legends. Was my main Sabertooth until the new ML one. Both sit in 2 different 1/12 displays, so you're good.
@@ReeceHoward06 appreciate it!
@@gbatista82 No problem. I'm tempted to hunt down the Select 1st appearance variant of Sabertooth since Hasbro fumbled that one, big time. Your comment just reminded me. 👍
I agree, this angel version was much needed. But I prefer the blue version. Best 1/12th scale wings so far 👍
6:15 Yeah, I like the face. The hair sculpt is definitely on the softer side, but even without shading, it doesn't look like a glob of yellow putty in real life under normal lighting. I've vastly prefer the digital dot matrix paint (or whatever it's called), 'cause the applications are very consistent across the board.
Whenever you have that digital paint, you don't have to order multiple copies with hoping that one will have decent paint apps. Like recently getting Zabu, and having to buy multiple blue Thor's trying to get an okay Zabu head. It's painted in a traditional way, so the eyes are all wonky.
I would love to see a video on the industry, AND ALSO, there's gonna be a Marvel Select Angel, are you gonna compare it to this? Cause i'd also love to see that
Perhaps
Hasbro: well your getting more plastic so it costs more
Consumer: ok well will smaller figures be cheaper then?
Hasbro: no…..
Obviously, you don't generally review them, but I do wonder what you'd make of similarly-priced Hasbros: G.I. Joe Classified, Transformers, Star Wars. I think we generally agree that the licensed (Marvel/Star Wars) projects suffer by comparison.
Some coming soon too. Stay tuned
A video on the industry would be a great idea for contextual reasons. Get everybody up to snuff 😅 it's also kinda going wayward with the American game industry lol.
Yes please. Your opinion matters. 🙏
If they are going to do the painting bits for boot and glove cuffs, they need to be clean and with more layers of paint. I wouldn't have minded seeing Angel on a slightly thinner body. I'm going to end up with some version of him but I am skipping this one.
I just got the toybiz Angel for 25 bucks at a comic store 😂😂 good to know i made the right purchase
One thing I can give Hasbro credit for is they do a pretty incredible job of convincing their customer base that they're getting a good deal. It's almost impressive how the hive mind of Legends collectors operates where they're convinced just the smallest amount of new tooling on a figure justifies the expense. Meanwhile we've got companies like NECA that will release some obscure character from a 35 year old cartoon that's all new tooling with no practical use for them going forward and charge a standard rate. Hasbro has just been taken over by the worst of the corporate mind sets which we're seeing invade, or has already invaded, other sectors of entertainment. Where the goal and only goal is to increase shareholder returns and rather than rely on the quality of the product to do the work they find it easier to cut costs and raise prices. And it's apparently working so they're going to just keep doing it.
I strongly agree :the prices on these figure is ridiculous. Collectors have to stop buying them and force Hasbro to decrease the prices.
I’d love to see a file card on the back of the package that you can cut out similar to the classic GI Joe. Fun facts,
mini bio, powers abilities. Even the classic Legends has a little bit of that
Hasbro's really getting collectors against the wall lately. Honestly the only thing that got my attention was the Iron Fist/Luke Cage 2 pack... still, I'm going to wait for reviews before picking it up since Legends overall are hard to get in my country
I would love to see a videos about the toy industry. The thing that bothers me the most about this figure are the gloves and boots. Real lazy. They haven't made an Angel since the Toybiz days and this is what they produce? Angel being one of my favorite X-Men characters, mostly when I was a child, I find this figure pedestrian at best.
the alternate head is like michael jakson cosplayed as archangel ajjajajaa
0:59 yes please make a video about the action figure industry
would really like to hear your thoughts on the recent 10$ jakks pacific wave, axel and altered beast.
I stopped collecting Marvel Legends thanks to your videos, you’re totally right about this sh*t. Keep the good work ♥️
I would love a video about the current state of the toy industry
Didn't even include a flight stand in that extra cost.
What's worse is the deluxe Vulture was $30 and that figure had a flight stand a more detailed sculpt and better articulated wings
DO IT! Talk about the toy industry! You'll get so many views and you're honest, which is rare nowadays.
I honestly think some people don’t care about collecting action figures. In the sense that they don’t care if it’s a good figure or not as long as it resembles a character that appeals to their nostalgia. Those types have laughably low standards and it’s frustrating reading comments defending these pieces of crap.
Have you seen that $70 Batman/Bane two pack where Batman has a weird, flat mouth and no traps? And battle damage that looks like stickers? And it SOLD OUT! I can’t understand it.
Yea I would love to see a video about the current state of the toy industry. There are some good figures out there but overall the selection isn’t anything to write home about
Mcfarlane fan boys are the worst. I wonder if they are all legally blind at this point.
I prefer squared edges. Looks way better on the shelf.
Yes, please make a video talking about how the toy industry has increased so much in price and decreased so much in value. Nowadays, you don’t know if you should buy a figure or just pay your water bill lol
I pay about this same amount for NECA Gargoyles, and while that line isn't perfect I feel like I am getting my money's worth for them. This... nope. It shouldn't cost the same. Though a conversation about these wings versus those wings. I am one of those "they're too thick" people. NECA could have and should have made different choices but this is why I don't think articulated wings would have worked.
And yes, make that video.
Multiple fixed wings is the only way to go imo. Articulation isn't the best option
@@AnthonysCustoms Totally agree.
The fact that I can buy Shf for $35 & ML deluxe is also $35 just shows why we are in the latter end of collecting eventually the bubble has to burst pricing is whack & out of hand
If it helps, by Cyber Monday, Angel will most likely be reduced to about twenty-five bucks on Amazon.
Note: no flight stand included 💸
I've been waiting on a new Angel in this suit for... dang, a looooong time. That said, yeah, he's not perfect, but he's really great and has awesome shelf presence with his huge wingspan and bright red color. I'm satisfied, even at $35 and don't feel cheated for what he does for me in the collection. Love em or hate em, Hasbro are pretty much the ones who set the standards of the 6" action figure market and other companies can either undercut them or make them look like a value.
Mattel made a Hawkman in DCUC with wings just as impressive as that for $10. Okay, that was years ago and I don't expect to pay that now but the idea that Mattel sold a whole figure for what Hasbro are charging for JUST THE WINGS is hilarious.
I didn't think dcuc were ever only 10 bucks. They did exist before the jump to 20 though.
@@AnthonysCustoms Fair enough. Maybe 12-15. I'm in the UK and I think with exchange rates as they were at the time the early waves of DCUC were around £10 which is maybe where I got confused. I do remember Toy Biz selling a Ghost Rider for around $10 which included the bike, which these days would no doubt push the price up to $60 or $70.
You should have an industry talk with Bobby Vala
Toybiz marvel legends Angels are still the best
The wings needed to be set off the body more they're to close to his back.....they'd look more natural and you'd get better range.....the fore arm issue is just cheap and stupid....especially on the new Kazar figure coming to a mark up depot near you very soon....he has bare arms.....with a seam??? Really bumbed by this guy I was really looking forward to a new Angel figure and would love an updated archangel
I do keep my figures in-box, I don't have much space. I love when the box has a picture/art on the side of it. I like to display my collection by turning the box on its side.
