I am not gonna lie, I used to think you were too picky with action figures when I started watching you. 8 years later and I am still here watching because I really grew to appreciate your in-depth reviews.
Same. Every time I did buy a figure that got a bad review on this chanel, I was like:" damn, that UA-cam-fella was right". Although I don't care as much for proportions like Anthony does, I do notice figures looking better when they get it right.
Yeah. I left a comment once saying he was too critical. 4-5 years later and he’s become one of my more liked reviewers. Especially now that Hasbro are starting to phone it in, we need reviewers to say it how it is.
The funny thing is, It may be even worse that you think. I'm pretty sure Ch'od's hands are new molds, so they actively made the molds with 4 fingers instead of 3. It's not even a case of bad reuse, just incompetence
@@AnthonysCustoms Actually, they aren't. Abomination's hands don't have the plating Ch'od have, and the forearms are also new since the fins are not on Abomination either. I can't tell if they sculpted Ch'od's hands from Abomination's mold though, that may be the reason why they have four fingers.
@@ShaddowToaI have seen appearances where Ch’od has 5 fingers, but it’s pretty rare to come by. This image as an example: static.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/6/61/Uncanny_X-Men_Vol_5_8_Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_Variant_Textless.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20181202064114
I don't think people like honesty as much as we say we do. You give an honest opinion on every figure that you review. You back up both negative and positive things you say about the figure. The problem is with people in general is that we want to hear 90-100% positive things about our purchases and feel that we made the right decision so we don't feel inadequate. We need to realize that not every reviewer is going to have the same opinion. I like your reviews because I know you're not going to sugarcoat it. Keep collecting.
It’s crazy I seen reviews that you do that other people did as well and the unapologetic nature you have is well deserved because of you I learned to respect my money and I cut back on crappy figures
I knew it was going to be bad before I got it but I figured I’d throw a paint job on it and it’d be fine. Got it in hand and was just too let down. Ended up in a box.
I don't understand why some people want positive reviews, like, in a world where prices rise and quality drops I'd rather have a reviewer like Anthony giving objective information instead of sugarcoating stuff. If I'm gonna spend money on expensive toys I want to know if they are worth buying.
Thanks for the review on this one Anthony. I remember a time when collecting comic based characters was fun. It wasn't that long ago either. Mezco, Mafex, and Marvel Select have surpassed Marvel Legends so far in 2023.
Lol!!! I love your reviews!!! I totally agree with so much of what you critique…for me though, I’m a Marvel Legends collector from days of ToyBiz, so I buy almost every release. However, it doesn’t mean I’m 100% satisfied with every release. This BAF was a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT for me. He’s also one of the tallest characters in Marvel comics, so the height thing was what bothered me the most.
They couldn't even give us updated comic Abomination, let alone giving Ch'od a slight care. There's like 10+ same ol Comic Hulk mold released, but none of the abomination match them lol
I swear, when i try thinking about good ml figures, my mind always springs back to the end of 2019 with dr doom and super skrull. Than maybe red skull, psycho man
I just hope one day Marvel Select would make their own version of Ch'od. Meanwhile, I'm not sold on half of this wave to finish this BAF. I'll wait until they go on clearance.
I really want to like this figure but I can't, this is the "living" prove that Hasbro couldn't care less. Complete money grab it's what it is. Thanks for the review Anthony.
I love when they release the images of figures and people go crazy online….like bro they made that figure 10 years ago and it was painted and sculpted 10x better 😂
yep i passed on this wave when hasbro revealed this very figure. i'm holding out hope that we get a nice Marvel Select figure, then i'll go back & get Corsair.
I know nothing about this guy, but thankfully you provided some great reference images. I probably would over look the torso if the limbs hadnt been half assed.
You’re videos not only helped me save me money but also my brothers. I took up doing customs and getting the hood stuff for me and my bros cuz ik there is so much better options than hasbro
Somehow, the creators of this figure blew through Hasbro's allotted budget at some point during the sculpting of the head: "Sorry guys, we can't put any more towards production costs.". You gave the aesthetic a 5/10?!?!? VERY generous IMO. This is about as close to a 2/10 (yes, relative to other ML figures) as I think I can get.....
Looking forward to Hasbro releasing Raza, then not releasing Hepzibah until a random Starjammers 4-pack (with a proper Ch'od). Genuinely think this company purposefully makes figures half-assed, so consumers will be "forced" to be superior versions a few months/years down the road.
2:50-3:03 Say it louder for the people in the back lol But fr I agree. By exposing yourself to other figures, you start to gain a better knowledge and appreciation for action figures and begin to notice how much better they can be. Highly recommend this for any figure collector.
I skipped on this whole wave, and I feel fantastic about it. Will you be reviewing the Mafex Hush Huntress? Because, it has some... shall we say issues.
Father Anthony make me open my eyes Wide open, im clean, I not buying marvel legends for 1 year, I save a lot of cash I buy my own house praised father Anthony 👏😇
Every one of these reviews makes me happy I took the right decision and got out of ML. I was tired of all the brightly colored chuncks of plastic. I kept my 5 favorite figures (including Darwin, yes, fight me) and sold of the rest.
Cho’d is like a marvel super mutated ninja turtle. They got alot of things wrong here, Cho’d has 3 fingers and his finger and toe nails are yellow, they couldnt even give him that small amount of detail. The 90’s Cho’d figure is way better.
Hahahaha what the heck...why even bothering buying a Hasbro product...at this point they give a damn about their product...this is no collectible this is a toy for my 3 year old nephew! Love your Reviews Anthony!
2:42 Someone said in one of your community posts that some people buy shitty figures just for the sake of collecting. I guess the "negative" reviews end up dissuading them and taking the fun out of collecting garbage!
The hands are the breaking point for me. They seriously couldn't even get the number of fingers right? Is a new head (with an articulated jaw you can barely use because it looks bad from most angles) and belt the furthest they're willing to go for a BAF? It's things like this that made me stop seriously collecting Marvel Legends less than a year after I started collecting them *at all.*
@@AnthonysCustoms I'd rate it 3. I wanted a Space Jammers team, but this baf really blew it. Maybe we'll get lucky and Marvel Select might do one. That 's just wishful thinking, but you never know. I only got Corsair from this set.
I used to know just the Hasbro stuff, then I discovered NECA, Figuarts, even Jada Toys is coming out on all cylinders on fire. Hasbro has no excuse, more specifically their Marvel Legends team has no excuse to keep churning out lazy garbo like this. Hasbro, do better! Just do better, even your yes-men are turning on you little by little
Man! I'm not the most passionate Ch'od fan in the World, but I just don't see that character in this figure. I usually cut Hasbro a lot of slack but.... no gun?!? Really...???
Something that annoys me about hasbro & people who defend them is when they go on the about "oh tooling guys, the tooling is sooooooo expensive, we can't make new molds guys". Like, I understand reusing parts is gonna happen & it's a effective cost saving measure, I have no issues with it in concept but the problem is that it feels like 90% of the line is reused/kitbashed schlock and 10% is new molds (even then that 10% is mostly movie stuff). I mean come on, even a smaller company like McFarlane can pump out new molds more frequently than hasbro (granted the quality of those molds can be... questionable... by a lot but still). If hasbro is the biggest toy company in the world I just don't understand how they can act like trying just a little bit harder, just putting in bit more effort will have them keel over dead tomorrow (the real reason is because ML fans will continue to reward hasbro for mediocre/bad product by continuing to by it despite QC issues, lazyness, and price hikes. It's so frustrating and it's hard to feel sympathetic at this point).
I loved Marvel Legends, but the quality has gone down so much, it's crazy. This Ch'od figure looks like crap, because it's a Frankenstein mismatch of figure parts that are 7 years old, with a happy meal toy's paint budget.
It's really hard to blame hasbro for being this lazy when people, for some reason, keep buying them. I am starting to see more figures on clearance at local stores, so hopefully their sales numbers are actually beginning to drop.
It’s an artistic interpretation Anthony, that’s why this figure has four fingers. Sarcasm aside, isn’t Ch’od supposed to have a blaster? Soooo… why doesn’t the figure 🤔 gosh Hasbro is becoming so lazy and cheap, it’s like they’re doing it on purpose.
I hate hasbro. I have given up on them going on a year now. They single handidly killed my passion for action figure collecting ...although I do buy an occasional Mafex or Mezco one in a while.
The head all by itself proves the point that Hasbro could be competent but choose to be cheap. They are all about profit and doing as little as possible. They can do better but won't
When it comes to getting screwed: Hasbro- where the fans come first. The only reason I can think of that his yellow parts aren't yellow enough is that it needed 2 passes of paint and they saved money by getting rid of 1 pass. It boggles the mind that they are getting away with this while other studios are working hard for your dollar.
2:50 - 3:03 McFarlane DC collectors especially need to do this. The $20 price tag really blinds them to how subpar that line really is, even for just $20.
Just watched your TMNT triceraton review the other day. The jaw articulation on it was beautiful and the articulated tongue was a nice added touch. …And then I see this review. Man what a piece of crap. I recently gave up on collecting ML. They’re just not worth it for me anymore.
How the heck is his name pronounced? I always thought it was “chuh-ODD” due to the apostrophe in his name. I’ve heard other people say “chode” or “chod”.
I'm kinda tired of actually critiquing hasbro figures they aren't gonna change . I'll just laugh at them from a distance and wait for a different company to make what I want or I'll make a custom. A custom can't be any worse than what hasbro are doing.

I love these kitbashes ML have been doing recently. They are so great, accurate and affordable.
I see what you did there
It seems like Hasbro’s business model is “Oh, they’ll never notice.”
Or you can go with, "Enh, close enough!" Haha, so damn bad!
hasbro :yeah, nobody's gunna notice the 10 limbs on the back spider on Tobey from the 3 pack.
@@KidultNPlay or "That will do" lmao
Gotta be the worst name for a character bro
nah fr like imagine saying “i love ch’od”
You could just pronounce it “Chodd”… maybe? “Chode” is definitely funnier.
💀💀💀💀💀 LMAO
Yeah… I’ve heard “chode”, “Chodd”, “Ch-odd” no one knows how to pronounce it, and neither do I 😂
The funny thing is, It may be even worse that you think. I'm pretty sure Ch'od's hands are new molds, so they actively made the molds with 4 fingers instead of 3. It's not even a case of bad reuse, just incompetence

Tell me about it, Anthony saving us some money & there's people getting mad about it. My brain failed to process that logic lol
"bring out the old mold"
-Hasbruh
Remember this is the same company that gave us AOA Colossus BAF.
@ 2:21 "They couldn't make new hands" is a good name for a band. Seriously though, not giving him correct hands is not acceptable.
I knew it was going to be bad before I got it but I figured I’d throw a paint job on it and it’d be fine.
Got it in hand and was just too let down. Ended up in a box.
Anthony, you are the Simon Cowell of action figure reviewers. Keep doing your thing!

Underwhelming figure in a lacklustre wave. The lack of accessories has been particularly egregious with the last couple of X Men waves.
