I know I'm not the first person to say this, but Pretty Boy's head looks like Bruce Campbell (specifically Army of Darkness era). So if somebody wanted to make a Marvel Legends scale Ash Williams, that head would be a good pick.
I've always interpreted Pretty Boys name as an ironic jab at the fact he only has his human head/face left so they call him "Pretty Boy" cause that's all hes got going for him even if he isn't actually that pretty
I'm gonna get this set eventually, just waiting for the price to be right. I mostly want Pretty Boy and Stryfe. Wish Random was much larger though. They really ought to do an army-builder Reavers pack that is like muscular bodies in fatigue pants and tactical vests kitted out with cybernetics, with swappable heads, maybe explicitly make it Cole and Macon, but also include the Reese head again with improved paint, maybe other generic Reavers to beef up the ranks, many many firearms, some blast effects. That would be awesome, though Hasbro needs to do more production runs of other army builders too, it felt like those Skrulls didn't stick around for long.
I think one of Random’s powers is he does change shape, so it is probably accurate but definitely not accurate to the 90’s action figure where he had a wider body for sure
I learned about Pretty Boy and the rest of the cyborg gang from the Punisher Arcade game from 1993, it was awesome to see them and even better when I saw some of them in the X-men TAS episode where they and Lady Death Strike ambushed Wolverine and the morlocks and fought that life abosrbing alien in the sewer
Robo,, You are like father figure that I never had because I like having fun and playing with my figures and I do think this 5 pack looks dope but I wish Pretty Boy was a single release because I really don't need the other characters, Hopefully they just can re-release him by himself one day.
Good review! You can buy an extra Blue Marvel, take the blue vest and remove the white bits and put it on Pretty Boy. He will look closer to the comic.
You should go back and read the 90s X-Factor (from #71 IIRC) not really for Random but just because it's a great run by Peter David, Larry Stroman and Joe Quesada.
I've been waiting for Stryfe, Zero, and Random. But I like all 5 figures. So I'm calling this 5 pack a win. Also, that Random figure is way better than it has a right to be.
I've wanted a single package figure of Random for 30 years, since I got the old one way back in the day... But nooo, he's packed in there with Cable's clone, Robonot, PoisonHIV and that other thing... 😩
The good thing about making a custom Zero is that you can turn him into literally anyone else since he’s a 99.95% white figure. Yes, I actually made one RIGHT BEFORE they announced this set. 😂🤷♂️
This set had TWO of my top villain wants: Pretty Boy (of course), and VeRtIgO! Yeah, Vertigo's on an old buck, but I loved the Marauders during the 80s Claremont/Silvestri run. And with those amazing Can of Beams green wobbly energy effects...MWAH! (She should've come with effects in this expensive multi-pack, but they would've been the effects we've received a million-billion times, so...) Pretty Boy is great but I really wanted him to be a single-card release to get an extra one for customizing. Instead, I pre-ordered the Mafex T2 endoskeleton for a better PB sculpt.
Well I guess I can scrap my review of the 5 pack, you beat me to it 😅. Awesome stuff! I'm happy with the set. I actually made a custom Random and like a week later, this set was announced
Idk I think that Vertigo face sculpt is different than Sue’s. Especially in the side profile the eyebrows seem shaped differently, the chin is more raised, smaller lips. Could be wrong of course.
Why are Hasbro sculptors turning all their figures into 1970's character actors? Both GI Joe's Falcon and Pretty boy both have giant, lantern jaw heads.
It’s the Crash Test Dummies’ song “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm” Radio stations hated it because of the title. 😂 Weird Al parodied it in “Headline News”, which is hilarious for the early 90s. You had to be there.
Only if it's on extreme Clearance. I am only interested in the Stryfe and Vertigo. I don't have any luck selling figures so I would end up throwing the others in the trash probably.
Not too interested in the characters. The main interest I had would be to use Pretty Boy's body for Silvermane, so thank you for showing it would look awesome. Hopefully Hasbro sells that combination in the future because I do not want to pay aftermarket prices for PB at this time.
I skipped to the end because I really wanted to see the full team of Reavers. I wasn’t disappointed. Now I’ll watch the whole video.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me too but I went back. Your Reavers line up looks fantastic. Need a flaming torch for Pierce for that cover art!

He was called Pretty Boy when he still had flesh on his body. At the very least he used to have normal-looking arms.

25 at Ross right now

That five o'clock shadow on Strife is what I'm talking about, great head sculpts like that make me want to pick up almost any character lol!
I have this set and until watching this, I'm actually more excited to open it because these figures are surprisingly good! Thanks for the review Robo!

Good review! You can buy an extra Blue Marvel, take the blue vest and remove the white bits and put it on Pretty Boy. He will look closer to the comic.
Wouldn't be surprised if Vertigo used the exact same body as Blink, but without the accessories on it (loin cloth belt, choker, and boot cuffs).
With Robo's love of all things Outback X-Men, that Zero portal would probably work well with to go with a (custom, for now?) Gateway figure.
It will always blow my mind when I see the Big Bang logo in your videos
10:22 Zero...he's my Hero...he looks very different from the School House Rock video
1:55 W transition
Kapow Toys here in the UK is selling the characters from this 5 pack separately, I’m tempted to get Random
For me, this 5 pack was mainly about Stryfe and Random. The others are nice to have also
Big Bang Comics is my local comic store and man they don't disappoint
Robo I think that you should know that you've inspired me not only to get my first two Marvel Legends but also my first X-Men comic.
Also a Southerner, so thanks for the dauber shout-out. Also, I always love your music jokes, so that was also fun on the Random section.
This set looks good but just a little too expensive for me
Nice to see my local Big Bang getting some shout outs.
The Vertigo Figure utilizes the Psylocke body mold from the Apocalypse Wave. Great review Robo! 👍
You should go back and read the 90s X-Factor (from #71 IIRC) not really for Random but just because it's a great run by Peter David, Larry Stroman and Joe Quesada.
I don't mind Vertigo's hair being like that since in the 90's Big Hair was a thing.
Vertigo has little Tobey Maguire Spider-Man hands😂😂
I'm a big 90s X-Factor fan so it was dream to get Random. In hand is so much better than I expected. Glad to fill out my team.
That Stryfe head sculpt is 100x better. Have to see if I can pick him up separately
Stryfe and Random are the highlights for me. The others were cool but just weren't characters I gravitated too.
"Flesh blaster" should be in the urban dictionary. I will be using this phrase going forward.
I like what you did with Vertigo ❤
Thanks Robo. I picked this up for Stryfe and Zero, but I'm also happy with the others.
Pretty boy would also make a great metallo custom with some tweaks
I’m getting Metallo vibes from the pretty boy body
For a custom obviously
"Flesh Blaster" *wink 😂
Need a tusk now that we've got random... and a plain clothed cyclops... and every other character from that weird episode of the animated series
I've been waiting for Stryfe, Zero, and Random. But I like all 5 figures. So I'm calling this 5 pack a win. Also, that Random figure is way better than it has a right to be.
I've wanted a single package figure of Random for 30 years, since I got the old one way back in the day... But nooo, he's packed in there with Cable's clone, Robonot, PoisonHIV and that other thing... 😩
The good thing about making a custom Zero is that you can turn him into literally anyone else since he’s a 99.95% white figure.
Yes, I actually made one RIGHT BEFORE they announced this set. 😂🤷♂️
Making zero into the spot would be so easy
I was working on one too!
Did you hear about Hasbro sending Pinkertons to a UA-camrs house?

Pretty Boy with another hair, could be Hubert Graft from Phantom 2040.
We have those mud wasps in upstate New York too.
Those pretty boy legs prove that there's no excuse for them not to make a good IG unit
Well I guess I can scrap my review of the 5 pack, you beat me to it 😅. Awesome stuff! I'm happy with the set. I actually made a custom Random and like a week later, this set was announced
7:10 plus...how does metal armor have muscles, to begin with? Answer: 90s
4:45
That's what the ladies call me!
Sigh.
Ladies don't call me anything.
Ladies don't call me.
I'm so lonely.
Excited!
Pretty Boys head sculpt kinda looks like Human Shrek from Shrek 2
Is there any update on the fwoosh skeletons? Just wondering because I am still waiting for my preorder.
I turned my old Stryfe into a bigger, buffer Silvermane.
Pretty boys head would be perfect for making a custom g i joe cobra dreadnok figure of thrasher the thunder machines driver 😁
That Stryfe is so much better. I have the old one but would love to swap it for this one.
Really dropped the ball on the Pretty Boy head sculpt.
Naw.
The X-Men theme song is just Whitney Houston's I'm Your Baby Tonight....
Also 616 likes! Earth-616
Oof. The swirly twirly plastic on joints is like 80/20, going to be welded together... Looks cool when its not all boogered up though...
Wait, they're called dirt dobbers in the South? I'm in SW Ohio, and we call them mud dobbers😅
consider this, swap the pretty boy head with flesh mask Lt Falcon's head
I want pretty boy to make a custom of Metallo.
That bogey would’ve also been good for a Super Adaptoid before he copies powers
X men bad guy cool
are you are going to get the spiderman across the spider verse wave?
Idk I think that Vertigo face sculpt is different than Sue’s. Especially in the side profile the eyebrows seem shaped differently, the chin is more raised, smaller lips. Could be wrong of course.
Why are Hasbro sculptors turning all their figures into 1970's character actors? Both GI Joe's Falcon and Pretty boy both have giant, lantern jaw heads.
Falcon is Burn Gorman from Torchwood and Dark Knight Rises.
(And what’s that KAIJU film with the giant robot Jaegers? Pacific Rim?)
How many of the classic Marauders have been made? do you have any custom Marauders?
What is that Cable head?
It's a custom head from Casting Cave. castingcave.ecrater.com/
Quick 24 min look
If you could never say "flesh blaster" and "meat cannon" again, that would be great. 😂
I'll just buy pretty boy separate cause he's the only good one and has customizing potential.
What is an overview vs a review
It’s probably been asked a hundred-thousand times but what is the “bright white” song called?
It’s the Crash Test Dummies’ song “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”
Radio stations hated it because of the title. 😂
Weird Al parodied it in “Headline News”, which is hilarious for the early 90s. You had to be there.
Pretty Boy looks like Bruce Campbell
So many people were pissed with the Zero figure, but like...what did you expect?
Is it just me or does pretty boy look like a realistic version of when Shrek becomes human?
No, that was Goodman as Cuzn GH Ruth.
Well, the “Handsome Shrek” figure looked more like Babe than the movie did.
Ashy Slashy
Zero's shin articulation..sigh...i HATE that poa. it looks awful, and i thought HAsbro stopped doing that.
Hey. If you’re gonna throw out, the custom hit me up, I would love to get it from you!
He fire’s projectiles from his digestive system..
So does everyone.
Something i got before you.
Stryfe would be infinitely cooler without the big octopus suction cup nipples
5:37 I’mma show you a m3@t cannon hahah
Meat Canon?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A yo what part of his body
My only reson for this set would be Random, and he's a dud, so no.
#FleshBlaster #MeatCannon
Don't put generic comment (or small parts) in one's mouth!
Don’t put it in your mouth?
They are called Mud Dobbers ROBO-ZO😂😅😊
The nests are dry, therefore dirt, and alliteration is much more creative teehee.
What was the name of the song that played in the intro @fwoosh
@TheFwoosh
As someone who just finished reading the original new mutants and just started reading X-Force I was really excited to see a figure of Stryfe
I can't believe they couldn't AT LEAST given Vertigo a unique hair sculpt.
Stryfe new upgrades and Pretty Boy Bruce Campbell looks fantastic
well, Amazon, MAKE me a JACK OF HEARTS...i've wanted a figure of him since 1980. And throw-in a STINGRAY
FLESH BLASTER
MEAT CANNON
CALIPER
Only if it's on extreme Clearance. I am only interested in the Stryfe and Vertigo. I don't have any luck selling figures so I would end up throwing the others in the trash probably.
I wish Hasbro would make an action figure of my big honking’ flesh blaster instead of the selfie series
A playmovil like box wow! 🙄🤟
9:10 good, because all i could think about his spikes were "you'll poke your eye out!"
Not too interested in the characters. The main interest I had would be to use Pretty Boy's body for Silvermane, so thank you for showing it would look awesome. Hopefully Hasbro sells that combination in the future because I do not want to pay aftermarket prices for PB at this time.
