      But why? The job as a reviewer is to give his thoughts /opinion/ recommendations on a figure to help you make a choice as a buyer.

      @@suhtangwong It depends tbh. Like Mafex Gambit vs Legends Gambit is no contest. Better card throwing accessories, better articulation, especially with the bendy coat, metallic paint for the armor, and the angry expression.
      Mafex Iron Man, eh…..not really enough the justify the cost. The proton cannon doesn’t even go with the classic suit, the roller skates are unnecessary, and the Legends version basically looks the same. Sure Mafex poses better, but Legends can pull off the same basic Iron Man poses.

      There are cases where you d be better off with Hasbro but those are few and far between like comic Thor, Iron Man, maybe the RYV Spiderman and some, just some figs that you can count on one hand.
      With Mafex you pretty much have the definitive ver of the character more ofteb than not like with comic Spiderman, Noghtwing, Gambit etc and im aware of tiger stripe Wolverine, Cyclops that are pretty flawed or Jean Grey/Phoenix that are too plain but more often than not you have the better sculpt, articulation, accessories but the price is a def a turn off.

    I have been saying this for the longest time. Legends fans are collecting characters, not figures. They want to have a large collection of their favorite marvel characters on a shelf. As far as the figure goes, the standards are so low outside of just the bare minimum.
    That Iron Fits looks skinny and lumpy. No shape to his body and does not pose well. It’s the RYV buck which is their most articulated body but it’s still not good. Luke Cage is fine. Plenty of room for improvement, but I’d still take the classic one they released a while months ago which looks boring as heck.
    From a character standpoint, I can see the appeal, but aside from a handful like AF Spider-Man or Black Widow, these are not fun figures to collect or pose.

      You hit the nail on the head. If you look at the Marvel Legends reddit forum, the consensus they came to is that they would rather have mediocre figures of every single C list character than have good figures. Anytime someone brings up the lack of quality, they will unironically state that the point of Marvel Legends is quantity over quality. Rampant consumerism has rotted their brains to the point that quality is no longer a priority to them.

      @@killerdiva7771 yea the Reddit forum is the worst offender of this. I remember when I first got the Mafex Jean Grey and being amazed how much better she posed than every female Marvel Legends. I also loved how sharp the paint was and how clear and expressive she looked. Most Marvel Legends just look bored and awkward in dynamic poses. From there I replaced my Gambit, Thor, and Storm with Mafex. I’m also planning on getting Mafex Cap because I just can’t stand looking at the 80 years Cap with his large bored head, shield with holes in it, and outdated articulation scheme. Sure I’m spending more on one figure, but I’d rather do that than spend the same amount on 10 crappy figures that’ll just sit in one pose and be ignored on a shelf.

      ​@Mattyboy-dn4oo I agree to a certain extent. Mafex does have better articulated figures, but quality can differ. Considering the price, it's not good enough.
      I like your comment about ML collectors buying characters rather than quality. Personally, that has made me think about my own collection. It's gone out of control. I'm buying way too many figures, and this is mostly based on character choices. I bought this two pack, sold Luke Cage. Kept Iron Fist, and I have the older Power Man still in box. Neither are great figures tbh. I need to rethink my collection.

I remember being excited for Knightfall since Neal Adams is my favorite Batman artist, but the figure just looked plain and soft-looking. He barely had any muscles and I wasn’t impressed with the articulation. He sat in my detolf in a generic fight pose before I took him off and eventually got rid of him. I’m looking forward to the Hush Batman that was revealed at the comic con this year along with Batgirl. I love the characters, but they actually look like good figures.

      ​@@gaminuz0191It is a different design team as well though so I'm guessing they are using different sculptors. I remember Bobby Vala saying that Hasbro hired sculptors that didn't have experience with sculpting human anatomy, so I think there is a good chance that some of the issues we see with Legends come down to oversight and possibly even incompetence as well as constant cutting corners to lower costs.
      The Joes are better but still use the drop down hips and the Infantry soldier's head articulation is terribly implemented so they aren't free of issues.

      @@gaminuz0191 It has uses for characters like Spider-Man, allowing them to get into the "dislocated", ultra dynamic, Todd McFarlane style poses by lifting the leg forward past 90 degrees but a soft crotch piece can achieve this and most characters don't need to be put in those poses. They don't have any benefits beyond that. The main issues are that the legs have to be connected to each other, they tend to get loose easier/quicker and can sometimes be loose out of the package (constant dropping down is a nightmare). They also mess up the proportions of the figure when they are pulled down and can interfere with posing if they come down when you're trying to pose the leg, which they have a tendency to do especially the looser they get. Anthony has covered it in quite a few of his videos over the years and probably explains it better than I have.

    Anthony accurately pointed out the issues of these figures. Its also true that Hasbro can do much better with Marvel Legends if they wanted but place profits over quality because they will sell anyway. But people are raving about these figures because they are the best versions of those characters in Marvel Legends form. Also, one of the best 2packs considering its Marvel Legends and they usually place a crap figure with a good figure in 2packs. And finally, for Marvel Legends standards, these figures are among their best. So I have no problem with people buying and liking these figures, the problem are all the crap figures people buy of Marvel Legends. Otherwise, Hasbro would try harder.

      It's not an opinion that the figure looks nothing like the reference art, it's fact that pectoral muscles don't look like that and that Cage's legs are ridiculous tubes. It is objective that Iron Fist (a martial artist) cannot do a fricking kick. And Hasbro have consistantly screwed up the double ball heads joint to the point of convincing some people that the disc hinge was better (ShartamusPrime for example) which is just sad.
      When he says theese are not worth your money, that IS his opinion, backed by a lot of objective and factual info, but yes his opinion. But most of this video is actually factual and/or objective rather than opinion heavy.
      TL:DR It's a fact that these are poorly made, and don't represent the characters or the art well at all while it's opinion that they aren't worth your money.

    Watching these reviews always hurt a little bit when your collection is 99% Marvel Legends. But Anthony is right about everything. They're way too expensive at this point and the price isn't justified at all. Hasbro is a shitty company in that regard, since they clearly don't care about the consumers. And I'm not talking about the sculptors and designers, but the CEOs who probably tell those guys to save as much money as possible.
    People forget how outstanding the line was when ToyBiz first started with it in the 2000s. Sure, they may look dated by today's standards, but they were revolutionary in terms of articulation and paint detail. And even when Hasbro took over with their ups and downs they were at least affordable.

    Speaking of Legends, any plans on reviewing the upcoming movie Colossus? Thanks to the costume design and stylization of Colossus himself, seems like it could be mingled into a comic display. His silhouette looks like butt in nearly all the promo pics, yet for some reason the single photo of Colossus in the packaging makes him look like he has an actual, appropriate v-taper. Would be interested if this is like the Astonishing Wolverine or DS Captain America where the marketing did the figure a disservice.

    About buying bad figures, a line that had to step up their game was Masterverse from Mattel, I can't even imagine Anthony reviewing Revelation He-man, not one single person was happy about that one and from what I see on photos and videos, they have released some better ones, not perfect but definitely better. I'm just saying that because Mattel's Masterverse and McFarlane's DC Multiverse suffers from figures not selling when they are bad and they have to improve.

    You know, I have this set and I do enjoy it but... I'm still learning about ML from Anthony's videos and.. I look at the figures in my head and I start seeing the flaws myself. Its getting to that last straw thing for me. I love Marvel. I love DC. But honestly, what I'm really considering is ONLY buying the good ones they do and looking to other companies to try my best to fill the gap. Because people in cosplay is not worth our money. I could honestly look like the Iron Fist if I cosplayed as him lol. I don't hate it. I still find enjoyment with these figures. But damn if he isn't 100% right here. I'm sorry for all the Marvel fans lol. Hasbro really is just trying to take advantage but we can't let them. Keep collecting enjoyable, guys. We are buying the figures, NOT the characters. I love these two but... they are not like the characters, man. Just Hasbro convincing you they are like always. Another great review, Anthony.

    Hey Anthony, I know you don't really like reviewing bootlegs/KO's, but you may want to take a look at CT Toys. I bring it up because they make slightly smaller versions of official figures that really outpace Marvel Legends. I know since they're not official ones they don't have to go through licensing but I think it still makes a point. That if it is possible to make profit off the license with a really good articulation scheme and even better paint apps than some official ML's, that it should be more than possible for Hasbro to do. Like if Hasbro was releasing figures almost on par with Mafex for 35 I don't think anyone would complain.

    Its just sad at this point. Like i have no experience in sculpting action figures or doing anything like this but i feel like i would honestly be able to do better. With zero knowledge. A basic grasp of detailed human anatomy. But damn can i just see whats abhorrently wrong with the way they look. I know what a comic book character is supposed to look like. Hell they dont even have the proper anatomy of a regular human being. Not to mention the green of iron fists arms and legs having way more yellow in them than the green of the torso. Its so frustrating that this is what we have to deal with from hasbro because this is the only affordable line of marvel action figures. I dont buy these anymore. And i wish nobody else did so it would cause something to happen to make it better. If they dont make theyre money theyll either do better or give the license to somebody else.

I know they made that separately recently, but the face sculpt was baby faced, and the head looks weird. I want a rugged face like the toybiz one and the Luke Cage to go with it. Including everything that was outlined here. Some accessories or effects as well. Like bullets ricochet effects with Luke Cage.

    this is shit and this video is art for me you nail the points too smoothly, i hate this from the bottom of my hearth and i hate the fans that are calling you and the rest of non-brain rotten collectors "hater" because they want the main and only domestic company that is holding the licensing for 1:12 scaled marvel super heroes to be better and deliver affordable and good products.
    it's like saying " you deserve to be paid more to the job you do" and they say "no i fucking love this company you fucking hater i like being treated like shit fuck you"
    they don't deserve favors, they are allowing this to happen and if they want to buy 3\10 figures then let them know what they're buying, who cares if they made reddit post about "anthony is so nitpicky such a hater" they hate themselves more for letting assbro suck their money and blood.
