Yeah, but this is based off the Jim Lee 90's Iceman, which wasn't blue. They were white in the comics; plus water/ice isn't blue. If anything, they could've made it more white.
It frustrates me when Hasbro doesn't factor in how a character uses their powers when designing the figure or deciding accessories. Iceman uses open hands in 99% of artist renditions. It's even right ON THE PACKAGE!!! Smh
Good idea man! Maybe make all the figs in the line be elemental characters with new effects peices? Example could be a New johhny storm with "human" looking face and regular FF suit, add some new fire effects. Buncha figs like that would be cool to pare with a big slide effect. I mean, they did the build a wings for Spiderman HC.
The 2016 version is my favorite color and face sculpt (far from perfect but my favorite) but the look, proportions, over all sculpt and articulations on the retro are better so with some mismatch between those two we could get a better ML for sure. Thank you Shartimus
I think the ice slide accessory is better used if you just place one of the legs on the peg and the rest of the figure behind it. It will look like he just started.
He looks more like Martinex to me. I absolutely hate the marble line on the face and the silverish color. It’s ok for a Martinex figure but it’s not iceman to me. The least they could’ve done is match the color to the ice slide
Hey Shartimus, totally agree with you on the color. Wish he was more blue tinted. I found a really cool accessory that works well for him though, the white effects pieces that came with the Astral Projection SDCC Dr Strange figure. A lot of times he was drawn with the effect rings around his hands in the comics. I think it works pretty good
"Some COOL things..." HA!!! I agree, the lack of open hands is a major let down as is that joke called an Ice Slide. The Ice Man is fine, superior to the previous one, but far from perfect. The color makes me think of Silver Surfer.
I went ahead and forked over an extra $25 to get the Toy Biz Legends Iceman. Even though the ice slide isn't the same colour, sticking their fists in it and everything works out great. Toybiz also made an X-Men Classics one with an ice slide that has wheels. The colouring matches more, but I think it doesn't look as good. Definitely more toyish compared to the old Legends one.
I was always a fan of Iceman during the Jim Lee run and was really excited about the figure release, so this was an instant buy. Then I saw that horrible line through his face and I've passed on him several times. After listening to your review I'm leaning towards picking him up though. Hopefully I can find one that the line isn't so visible. Thanks for the review.
It's not distracting, it's like when Iron Fist hand glows before he uses his power. Think those hands look good with the effect of him usin' his powers =P
It could of been a little more blue but it still looks like ice to me and not as silver as silver serfer. And i gave him havoc's affect it breaks up the color and dose give him some form of a blue. But i like it is cool as ice!
2016 is far superior, not just the color but the Pizza Spidey bodymold was also a better choice. Iceman is never drawn jacked until like AoA. I hope if they ever give us a Bobby Drake, they base it off 2016 Juggernaut wave Iceman.
I too am thinking that he looks so much like Surfer and I’m on the fence. I really hope ant to put together an X-Men team too, and can’t think of having one without Iceman in the mix! I just really wish he came with more hands and more of a blue hue! I’m still weighing my options on an Iceman.
I think the color is really apparent by itself but when you put him with the other X-Men it fits. It's a weird effect. I personally like the departure from blue. I dont hate blue in Iceman but white/foggy clear is actually more accurate to well ice.
Shartimus! Use the Family Matters 3 Pack Quicksilver hands on him! Im currently displaying him with one of the flat hands from that figure, and it fits PERFECTLY!
I tried the quicksilver hands as well. I thought about putting them on before I ever got him. It's pretty close. They really should have had a set like that in the first place.
Great figure, I agree with you about the color though. It will be my definitive Iceman since I didn’t get the 2016 one. It is an upgrade over the TB Sentinel hand one.
This Iceman is 100 times better than the new one on the Spider-man and his Amazing Friends 3 pack, AND looks a lot more like the cartoon Iceman than the new one lol. This is my favorite Iceman because he looks more like what I remember from classic Iceman, in particular it reminds me of the Jim Lee cards I used to have. In my opinion they should've just reused this Iceman for the 3 pack, the Sunfire body is so much better than the outdated pizza spidey mold. They could've added some cell shading, open hands (and green eyes, which the actual figure from the 3 pack lacks!) and maybe an ice effect. Also, I think of Iceman as more white than blue, it's not like actual ice is that blue IRL. However I agree this should've come with more stuff, but I always have fun coming up with accesories for ice characters. I put the Model 70 Iron Man's clear smoke effects around his arms and they look very cool on this figure as an effect piece. Dagger's energy effect also suits him very well.
I think I'm gonna modify the toybiz series 8 head and put it on this body, then add some blue on this body. As is I think this ice man works better as Martinex from gotg
Seriously, why is it that Ice-man is so hard to get? He's really not a complex design at all. Get a plain sculpt with a narrow build, paint it a decent whitish/blue with a shiny finish, maybe make translucent, ba-da boom. This one isn't bad, it just doesn't have enough to it for display options from an accessory perpsective. Just a pair of open hands, and in my opinion just be creative with the ice effects.
I like tise Iceman because it reminded me how he looks in the episode "Cold Comfort" of the animated series, but the line in the face and the colors (unmatching due to different materials between limbs and torso) prevented him from being perfect... if they release this exact figure or maybe with a body sculpt that fallows the same pattern of the head, I would buy it and dump this one in the trash. For now, he is the one on my display! (Never liked the juggernaut baf Bobby, only the color)
idk how I feel about this one. Having spent a TON of effort and cash trying to get the Juggernaut wave I feel that if I'd known what was on the horizon (90s X-Factor, Retro Storm and Iceman, Anniversary edition Colossus v Juggernaut, Cyclops/Jean/Wolverine 3 pack) I'd have skipped that entire wave or maybe that entire year of Juggernaut and Apocalypse and gotten what's available now. Hindsight :(
I also wish the x on the belt was rectangular. I'm having trouble finding source material of him actually having a round x other than the original toy biz figure.
I'm *sooo* glad that I can replace that metrosexual Iceman figure with this one. I do think it's the definitive Iceman. I wished it was more white, and the eyes weren't as close as they are..but still a great representation of their most iconic look.
I love that figure but I would have liked a more blue color
Sa me man. At least it's not SJW Iceman
Billy Molt don’t care if it’s sjw or not it just has to be a good looking figure
Yeah, but this is based off the Jim Lee 90's Iceman, which wasn't blue. They were white in the comics; plus water/ice isn't blue. If anything, they could've made it more white.

THE ICE AGE!"

Please stop with the ice puns it's 100% bad enough especially if it's from 'Batman and Robin'
If you put the accessories from the vintage wave Black Panther on Iceman, it really improves the figure.
It frustrates me when Hasbro doesn't factor in how a character uses their powers when designing the figure or deciding accessories. Iceman uses open hands in 99% of artist renditions. It's even right ON THE PACKAGE!!! Smh
Loved your silver surfer review shartimus!
Imagine this figure cast in the same color as the effect piece!
I have had a lot of fun with this guy, he definitely grows on you, and now we just need fire star
Im gonna some dry brushing with a light blue acrylic paint and maybe also some black paint to bring out the beautiful details in the sculpt.
Eh, the figure looks okay. It's just the color....
Figure should have had the same colours as the ice slide accessory.
Jarmo Verriet True.
Hahhahahahahahah it all one color sud
Ultimate Riders Iceman comes with Big Ice Slide and it gives hasbro another shot to make the perfect Iceman Figure
I doubt there will be a riders series with iceman
@@johns3153 Well we can hope can't we?
You can just dry brush the figure like I'm probably gonna do
You don’t got the 5 pack iceman no more? Disappointed.
I wanted an Ice Man party.
Brandon Network chill! Chill! Chill! Chill!
An ice man party would’ve been *cool*
I love the 2016 one. I can’t stop thinking of the Engineer from Prometheus when I see this.
In future, we need a Spider-Man & his Amazing Friends 3 Pack.
Yes please! Firestar, Iceman, and Spidey!
They three of them had a reunion here. 😄 I didn't have Iceman yet back then. instagram.com/p/CPMhuWGpttv/?
They need to do a 80 years Spider-Man
Yes. Hope they dont use the fucking pizza Spiderman mold.
Yup surprised we didn’t get one with ditko eyes
I think MCU far from home mold design is good enough if rhey scaled it a bit bigger & gave it much better paint apps.
They kinda did, it was the vintage wave one. But not quite really 80 years. I would definitely like one though, with like 20 accessories
@@johnny2x459 I HATE the pizza spidey mold. WITH A PASSION
"Ill wait for the black friday sale." Wise words indeed!
That iceman is so easy to find I’ll buy him later
I wish we could get a giant BAF Iceman looping ice slide.
I know would be a strange BAF wave but I would definitely buy it.
Good idea man! Maybe make all the figs in the line be elemental characters with new effects peices? Example could be a New johhny storm with "human" looking face and regular FF suit, add some new fire effects. Buncha figs like that would be cool to pare with a big slide effect.

I don’t have as much of a issue with the figure then the lack of accessories. He needs open hands as well as a better ice slide.
If this figure had the 2016 versions color, I’d be all in.
Hasbro should make a BaF wave, once completed is Iceman's slide along with ice blast effects.
I've had him in hand for 24hrs now, pretty much the perfect Iceman for a Jim lee/90's X-men display.... He was never blue in the comics
The plastic for the base that comes with this would have been PERFECT for the modern-Iceman figure that came out in the juggernaut wave
Agree
Try using the Silver surfer hands
I like this new retro Iceman more than the past iceman figures.
If he had a more bluish hue like the ice sliding effect it would look absolutely perfect

2016 has the best color. Love the new one I just wish it had a little blue.
Cool accessory cool idea for a figure but bad execution on the figure

A Gray mixed with silver paint wash over those Astral Doctor Strange hands may make it match better
This Iceman is the best Iceman ever to me.
Straight outta the dark days of marvel legends

Have you seen the new vulture figure being released in a few months ? It's amazing!!
I’m surprised they didn’t use the same body they used for Vision from the 3 pack with Hulk and Ultron.
Awesome figure & Awesome video!!
I think I might actually do that hand swap.
"Some COOL things..." HA!!!

Damn, that one version of Iceman came out in 2016!? Time's just flying each year.
I think the perfect iceman is somewhere between this one and the last one
I like the color on the series 8 toy biz one the most.
Astral Doctor Stange hands work perfectly

He's the same color as the center of ice that comes out of ice trays at home
I agree

you are my favorite youtuber
The 2016 version has the best color, but the X-Men classics seems best overall.
I've been thinking of using aluminum foil in some way to create an ice blast effect, or ice sled. I agree though this figure could have been better.
I also don't like that there are no interchangeable hands. I'll probably use it in an 80s X-men display
The 2016 ice man Is the best this one looks like a silver surfer
I just wish he had open hands but like in the show he was white but had blue ice effects so it is accurate to the animated series
I think I'm gonna modify the toybiz series 8 head and put it on this body, then add some blue on this body.
As is I think this ice man works better as Martinex from gotg
Hate Hasbro's #UpperThighCuts also hate the fact that he does not come with open action hands neither bare foot.
I’m leaning more towards the 2016 iceman the new one looks way to metallic almost looking more like silver surfer as opposed to ice man
I really wish Hasbro would release an Iceman that's not on a translucent plastic. It should be on a white mold with blue shading.
The knees on my Storm figure were very wobbly. Idk if you had that problem.
Same here.
2016 Iceman for sure is the better one
I only got this figure to make him into a custom Silver Surfer.
Silver Surfer’s open hands work pretty well but it’s still not a perfect match.
And he needs more of a blueish color
Cool vid like always...you sound super tired tho...Why no Iceman party skit?
Seriously, why is it that Ice-man is so hard to get? He's really not a complex design at all. Get a plain sculpt with a narrow build, paint it a decent whitish/blue with a shiny finish, maybe make translucent, ba-da boom.

For now, he is the one on my display! (Never liked the juggernaut baf Bobby, only the color)
He looks like a kinda clear silver surfer with an X men belt
I like the ice puns I died laughing
I like the bluer 2016 hasbro version best.
Love your videos!!!!
I see this as more of a Martinex Marvel Legends figure. Because if your look closely, it does look more like Martinex than Iceman. Don’t you think?
idk how I feel about this one. Having spent a TON of effort and cash trying to get the Juggernaut wave I feel that if I'd known what was on the horizon (90s X-Factor, Retro Storm and Iceman, Anniversary edition Colossus v Juggernaut, Cyclops/Jean/Wolverine 3 pack) I'd have skipped that entire wave or maybe that entire year of Juggernaut and Apocalypse and gotten what's available now. Hindsight :(
Alot of people are hating on this figure I honestly don't think it is that bad.
Awesome Review🎥🎬😂🤘
I wish it were more white rather than blue. It's almost like they tried to match it up with an actual ice cube than they did how he's depicted.
I also wish the x on the belt was rectangular. I'm having trouble finding source material of him actually having a round x other than the original toy biz figure.
I like this figure but it needs more accessories
It looks more like silver surfer, needed more blue
I like the 2016 one way way way wwwaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy more!
Would have been better if the ice accessory was the same color as the figure. Good review nonetheless.
I don't mind the color that much. He should be more white though.
It should have came with open hands , Great review as always
New base figure for Moon Knight!
New Boots/Fists and there you go...
Can you put the clear astral strange hands onto iceman?
I would like it more if it had open hands
Love you dude
Hmmm. I think I like the original Toybiz Legends I just picked up.
I wish the ice sled was a bit bigger.
If yu remove the belt it would look like a transparent silver surfer
I'm *sooo* glad that I can replace that metrosexual Iceman figure with this one. I do think it's the definitive Iceman. I wished it was more white, and the eyes weren't as close as they are..but still a great representation of their most iconic look.
