Crazy that this figure doesn't scale with even it's own line. What a missed opportunity. Beautiful sculpt just not sure where it will fit in my collection.
Through the whole review I was thinking exactly what you said at the end. When you think about the fact that standard price for Black Series figures now is $25, it's *insane* that you can still pick up a figure the size of this one, that's as good as this one, for THIRTY DOLLARS.
The gap is closing and it’s making certain selects more and more appealing. This was basically the same price as the Delxue Marvel Legends Clor (Thor Clone) and look how much more plastic you get.
I still got Billy siting on my bench downstairs. I never realized how large he is compared to other selects/legends. Great job. I own the figure and still learned something.
I grabbed this dude AS SOON AS I saw him on the peg at my local shop cause I’d decided I was getting him when he first was revealed. Awesome review! Didn’t know about removing the cape but now I have to.
Maybe my most anticipated figure right now. Him and Spiral I think. I love this design, especially more than the heroic age, it feels very Kirby and much more comic book excess than the last. I'm really impressed with the articulation, though the knees look like they were sculpted with being double in mind. As much as an alternate fist would have been nice, I get it for the amount of plastic we got. Only real change I'd want is a jaw hinge, especially if it was a separate piece anyway. I also kinda love the DS packaging. The blister and the amount of figure paint are just so nostalgic for me now, it's just what I expect to see hanging in an old comic book store.
I love selects. You get so mcuh for your money. Not always but when they really put effort in you can tell. Plus i just prefer 7inch scale. I wish legends were 7 in. (And they slowly seem to be getting there)
I just picked this up at a local store last weekend! Didn't know they were bringing this out but I had to get it. I knew the cape could be removed but didn't want to break it. Thanks for showing the cape removal🤣🤣
You nailed it with the price point. I mean, shouldn’t the smaller companies be the ones charging more than the big guys? I get licensing and whatnot but damn.
Great figure but subjectively I hate the design. Beta Ray Bill is one of those characters where I’m of the “classic or nothing” mindset. Classic Thor and Beta Ray Bill in those matching costumes is one of my favorite duos in comics
@@brian.jrmontoya3227 came here to back that up. I do like the classic look but I definitely accept the rad redesign from the dude who's written some of the best BRB stuff. Open your heart to it, friend!
Great video - thanks. It's pretty large on the shelf and if desired to photograph with some Annihilators I would recommend it be clear in a back shot. Having recently received it, the work and detail put into the craftmanship claims this one a candidate on any "best of 2022" Marvel action figure list this year. That said, he easily dwarves MLs Gladiator, the old Ronan BAF and Cosmic Nova. With Ronan getting a Deluxe, maybe....just maybe we might see Gladiator and Nova re-released on the new Vulcan buck soon.
Reminds me of the big n bulky BRB figure from the Toy Biz Silver Surfer line. Just a beast! Might have to grab him. Just worried about the Diamond Select weak n loose hip joint issue…
@@UnparalleledUniverse Me, too! But I’m crying after seeing original promo pics for this figure. He had an alternate face w/ closed mouth and painted band at the upper arm joint 😭
I got this on sale over black Friday weekend and its amazing. I've been wanting a beta ray figure for around 20 years now and never wanted to settle on the crappy versions. I was about to attempt a mythic kitbash custom and boom this was announced. Now that I have it in hand it surely doesn't disappoint.
This figure is pretty amazing!! I think he’d be in top ten of the year for me if he would look up a LIL more, would love to see if you end up doing that Neck Mod.
@@UnparalleledUniverse one of the best thor storyline. Closes a lot of chapters for thor even old ones like what is the Donald Blake persona really is and lot of other Thor mythos
Dang, they made him massive!! Lol had no idea that Diamond Select made him so big. I love that and love that removable cape feature. It's brilliant. Hope we get more of that feature. I did not like this figure because the promo pictures didn't do it justice but seeing your review made me like it a lot. Its looks awesome.
My thoughts exactly Wade, 💯, marvel select never goes with my legends but when they release fiery BANGER like Hulk, t-man (in the morning), task master and bill?...it keeps me continuing to check em out. Some there on the D.S. has ALLOT of love for this Billy. I dig dug that.
Diamond ripped it off Bowen imo. Not that that's wrong but Bowen should get the credit for it because it's a pretty innovative accessory for the character.
Looks dope!! I think Thor is taller than Beta Ray Bill in the comics. It's insane how big he is. Comparable to the Immortal Hulk. Still a must pick up either way.
Such a cool character & this figure is very nice. Would be great to get the original-classic BRB look from Hasbro in a scale closer to his real size. To me this version is just Bill juiced up on some serious Asgardian Odin Force !
Congrats on getting the figure! So excited for mine BRB is my fav marvel character of all time wish it was the classic suit but hope hasbro makes it awesome video’
Probably the best select released thus far imo and definitely this year though won’t lie, that vision that just came out to is pretty good as well so idk! Lol but currently working on putting an omega flight to go with bill here.
Great review! Mine had stuck joints but a little heat and shock oil and he’s fine. A soft plastic cape and helmet crest (like the torso straps) would have been nice.
Diamond select used to be a joke. But after I got the Battlestar Galactica cylons and taskmaster and iron giant. I consider them one of the best companies in the world 🤣🌍
Man I'm torn on whether or not I want to pick him up. He looks so good, but he's just huge. He's big for Select scale, and seeing him next to Bucky cap is hilarious and sad. I just don't think he fits in my display anywhere, despite being some of the best bang for your buck
Not liking those last 4 minutes of rambling. Sometimes it’s insightful but very repetitive most of the time like I got the last 10 times you said it already. Respectfully

Bro if Mafex did a beta ray bill I would love it.
I might cry if they did
Idk if you know this but BRB home planet was the one Gamora and Nebula were trashing before being sent after the stones in the MCU
Just the guy I’ve been wanting to see review this.
Yeah, I was a little delayed on this one haha. Thanks for watching!
Oh man, nice figure. You're right on Select hitting it right on big guys and I appreciate the detail of the 3 companies providing 3 different looks.
Yeah Select almost always kill it on the big guys!
I have this on pre-order. Can't wait to get him in hand. Love Beta Ray Bill. And Diamond Select is killing it with these bigger figures lately.
He looks great, crazy good price too
I'm stoked that you're happy with it. That's an impressive amount of articulation for such a big fella.
It is man! They put a good amount in there for such a monster of a figure!

He definitely has some crazy shelf presence!

Haha nice! A few people told me that same thing about the cape pegs!

No problem! Love this figure!
This figure looks sick. Diamond Select knocked this one out of the park. Hope their Iceman turns out just as good.
You nailed it with the price point. I mean, shouldn’t the smaller companies be the ones charging more than the big guys? I get licensing and whatnot but damn.
Oh dude, it’s getting out of hand.
Marvel select always nails it with their bigger figures like colossus juggernaut and hulk (and now beta ray bill)
For sure! They have made a lot of great big characters!
Beta Ray "The Juice Man" Bill is one of my favorite Marvel characters and this figure does him justice. great review homie
I'm showing my age but if you remember the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance game, Beta Ray Bill was a pallet swap for Thor.
Yeah! That game was dope
Been a while we've seen a select review!!!! Can't wait for betaray bill!!!
Yeeeeeah! Well, if they put out more I’d review more!
Great figure but subjectively I hate the design. Beta Ray Bill is one of those characters where I’m of the “classic or nothing” mindset. Classic Thor and Beta Ray Bill in those matching costumes is one of my favorite duos in comics
They do write a good reason for the redesign, and personally I like it. But yeah, classic bill is a staple for a reason

And on top of that, this is just TOO big!!
What? The mowhawk is sick, it makes him look both like a gladiator and works into his horse design
This is probably the 5th review of Marvel Select Beta Ray Bill that I have watched, and probably the only one that showed the removable cape💯
Great video - thanks. It's pretty large on the shelf and if desired to photograph with some Annihilators I would recommend it be clear in a back shot.

Anybody else miss the intro? I used to hum it every time I clicked on one of your videos lol
It will be in the next one!
Reminds me of the big n bulky BRB figure from the Toy Biz Silver Surfer line. Just a beast! Might have to grab him. Just worried about the Diamond Select weak n loose hip joint issue…
Oh man I remember that 5inch one from back in the day! Use to love that figure
@@UnparalleledUniverse Me, too! But I’m crying after seeing original promo pics for this figure. He had an alternate face w/ closed mouth and painted band at the upper arm joint 😭
Ohh man, a Mafex BRB to go with that classic Thor they revealed would be moneyyyy
Maaaaaan that would be so amazing!
Hard to believe this came from the company that dropped the Marvel Select Moon Knight 🤮
Maaaan I don’t know what they were thinking with re-releasing that Moon Knight, it wasn’t good the first time!
I got this on sale over black Friday weekend and its amazing. I've been wanting a beta ray figure for around 20 years now and never wanted to settle on the crappy versions. I was about to attempt a mythic kitbash custom and boom this was announced. Now that I have it in hand it surely doesn't disappoint.
Man a mythic kitbash would be a great way to make a custom Bill but yeah now you don’t have to haha
@@UnparalleledUniverse I would of still done it, if this one wasnt much cheaper than going that route.
That marvel legends beta Ray Bill is from the smart hulk baf
Ah thank you!
This thing looks awesome one of my favorite marvel characters
Hell yeah!
I dunno man he kind of does scale with the Marvel select mighty thor since beta ray bill is 6.7 ft and Thor is 6.6ft so it kind of does scale.
Another fine review sir. I am glad you are happy with him but thank goodness I passed.
Thanks Rek!
This figure is pretty amazing!! I think he’d be in top ten of the year for me if he would look up a LIL more, would love to see if you end up doing that Neck Mod.
I think he can definitely be improved on but he might be top10 as is
This bill is from donny Cates run of thor.. the new ml thor shattered his storm breaker and almost killed him in a duel
I have heard a little bit about it, I’m gonna have to check it out.
@@UnparalleledUniverse one of the best thor storyline. Closes a lot of chapters for thor even old ones like what is the Donald Blake persona really is and lot of other Thor mythos
Awesome, wish they included a closed mouth version with normal helmet too. Would have preferred that even over the spinning Hammer effect.
Oh I posted that b4 I got to you saying almost the same thing
This gotta be top a 10 fig of 2022 💯
Bill is crazy!!!!!!!!! Must have him
Dang, they made him massive!! Lol had no idea that Diamond Select made him so big. I love that and love that removable cape feature. It's brilliant. Hope we get more of that feature. I did not like this figure because the promo pictures didn't do it justice but seeing your review made me like it a lot. Its looks awesome.
I love that the cape is removable but it stays on him securely when it’s on
Hope Hasbro makes a classic Beta Ray Bill soon, still my favorite design for him
My thoughts exactly Wade, 💯, marvel select never goes with my legends but when they release fiery BANGER like Hulk, t-man (in the morning), task master and bill?...it keeps me continuing to check em out. Some there on the D.S. has ALLOT of love for this Billy. I dig dug that.
The swinging hammer thing was done on a Bowen designed Thor statue first.
Nice. That’s a statue though, I have never really seen it on a figure before Diamond
Diamond ripped it off Bowen imo. Not that that's wrong but Bowen should get the credit for it because it's a pretty innovative accessory for the character.
That seem on him mouth is unsightly.
Please Diamond 💎 Select make a Classic Red Skull and Beta looks incredible!!!!
No love for the Hasbro classic Red Skull?
Looks dope!! I think Thor is taller than Beta Ray Bill in the comics. It's insane how big he is. Comparable to the Immortal Hulk. Still a must pick up either way.
The hammer swinging effect being oval and not a circle bugs the hell out of me
Such a cool character & this figure is very nice. Would be great to get the original-classic BRB look from Hasbro in a scale closer to his real size.
To me this version is just Bill juiced up on some serious Asgardian Odin Force !
thanks for the review.

Also totally agree on a mafex BRB along side a mafex Silver surfer and Adam Warlock. Sheeesssh
This is an excellent standalone piece, but I just can't get past the scale.
Still waiting for the MS Vision dude 😎
He’s up next!
Probably the best select released thus far imo and definitely this year though won’t lie, that vision that just came out to is pretty good as well so idk! Lol but currently working on putting an omega flight to go with bill here.
Immortal hulk is still the goat
are we ever going to get a display tour
Hey wade did you know the shoulder pads also come off?? I saw someone did it!
Great review! Mine had stuck joints but a little heat and shock oil and he’s fine. A soft plastic cape and helmet crest (like the torso straps) would have been nice.
Hey Bill…
Why the long face?! 😝😝😝
Don’t you dare.
What if it was a Mezco beta ray bill that was like one of those steel box editions with tons of accessories
Diamond select used to be a joke. But after I got the Battlestar Galactica cylons and taskmaster and iron giant. I consider them one of the best companies in the world 🤣🌍
Ohh yeah the Iron Giant is really nice
i dont know who he is but i owe it to own this figure
So fucking badass, ive been looking for this
Great review hope you do a video of you doing the mod. Got yourself a new subscriber!
Hey Thanks for subscribing! Much appreciated! If I end up doing a mod, I will mos def do a video!
What a badass figure
I can't decide on the open mouth or closed mouth version.
Is there a closed mouth version!?
@@UnparalleledUniverse Check out Entertainment Earth for the open mouth version on pre order now .
Let’s gooooooooo!!!! Justice for BRB
Too big for me but love the design and look. Hope legends makes this style or a classic one day. I believe this one goes with cosmic Thor
The way you kept saying his name was painful. It’s Baita as in Alpha/Beta not “Betta.” Beta (Baita) Ray Bill 👍🏿😂
Bey-ta
Man I'm torn on whether or not I want to pick him up. He looks so good, but he's just huge. He's big for Select scale, and seeing him next to Bucky cap is hilarious and sad.
I just don't think he fits in my display anywhere, despite being some of the best bang for your buck
So no head exchange?
Unfortunately not this time 😩
Man, need this
And then you ask yourself how come Legends cost $25.99
Omg
I really like the figure, but I may have to pass due to scaling.
I'm going to customize this guy into a better comic odin.
I love this figure
Awesome review Vato!!!!🔪🔪
Thanks Loco!
Marvel Select Thorse
No one is more lazy than Hasblow.
Btw who's "Bettah" Ray Bill?
Not liking those last 4 minutes of rambling. Sometimes it’s insightful but very repetitive most of the time like I got the last 10 times you said it already. Respectfully
Thanks for the feedback.
You're a big fan of the character but you can't pronounce his first name right?
Beta = Bay-ta
Yes that is correct
You're a big fan of correcting people, but you have an edited comment? I guess you alone are allowed to be imperfect.
It’s actually “Bai-ta” but wade is Mexican so in Spanish he’s correct
@@dahhmlife i edited to add the pronunciation
@@exusiai and then proceed to spell it wrong! Lol the Irony.
Relax man!
