protip for wolverine elbow bend keep the upper part straight and bend only the lower half you get more range that applies for most wolverines since cuz reuse
When I first saw the reveal of the Brood Wolverine figure, I almost thought it was a Zombie Wolverine figure at first, but a Zombie Wolverine for Marvel legends would be dope af.
I'm hearing Lilandra and Brood Wolverine and am thinking "yeah, I'm so lost" I've never been a huge X-Men fan so i know very little about their section of the Marvel universe so i have no idea what or who these guys are. Nonetheless, it was a very enjoyable video even if i had no idea what's going on 😅
Thanks Brayden! Lilandra is the empress of the Shi'ar empire, which is an advanced alien race that put the Phoenix on trial in the comics. Additionally, she is one of Professor X's primary ongoing love interests. As for the Brood, they are creatures inspired by the Alien franchise, with the difference is that their sting transforms their victims into Brood.
I have never even cared about Llandra but that figure is so cool tat I kinda wanna get her. It's a shame that this wave of 50th anniversary 2 packs doesn't include a normal 80s brown wolverine. I found the retro carded one on ebay for a decent price so I guess I'll go with that one. How much you wanna bet that hasbro's gonna announce a new one the second I buy it?
Lilandra reminds me of a Frank Quietly drawn face. I'm on the opposite end on this one from you. Brood Wolverine is a figure I've been wanting for decades, while Lilandra is a nice to have figure that's being thrown in. That being said, now that we're starting to get the Shi'ar figures, I'm kicking myself for not picking up Gladiator back in the day.
I can certainly see what you mean about Frank Quietly. But hey, if it makes you feel better I got my Gladiator loose at a toy show for like $12, but it's not hopeless.
2-pack looks good, but I gotta point something out. Hate it when Hasbro does the half pinless treatment. Have one section be pinless and the other with pins whether it's the arms or knees. If you're going pinless, make it all pinless. Hasbro and their BS, it never ends. Gotta say the good and bad. I think the Brood Wolvie should've been packed with a newly sculpted and articulated Brood alien. Now that would've made more sense. Lilandra looks real nice, but I don't think it's worth $50 when it's really Lilandra that most want and Brood Wolvie pretty much a filler. Now if Lilandra was packed with a newly sculpted Deathbird or D'Ken figure, I'll pay full price. Other than that, for that 2-pack there... I'll just play the waiting game till the price gets knock down or goes on clearance for $20 or less. Who knows? many end up at Ross or Ollies.
One nitpick I noticed out of the box is how short the Lilandra figure is. She stands at 5’11, she should not be nearly the same height as Wolverine (who stands at 5’3) and my Stepford Cuckoo figure. I love this line, but I only purchased this two pack because it was on sale for $25 at a local store which is honestly all it is worth. A paywall behind another Wolverine figure is absurd, it should have been another member of the Imperial guard that we haven’t had but alas Hasbro will Hasbro.
I do get a kick out the Brood Wolverine, but if they insisted on including a Logan, I think Wolverine in the Fang suit would have gone down easier for a lot of collectors.
I'm conflicted on the FF one. When I saw them at first, I thought it was taken from a What If where the Fantastic Four was Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider taking on Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, which is a comic I really love. So, thinking we were going to get Iron Man and Ghost Rider too made me interested. I don't know anything about Wolverine and Spidey teaming up with Franklin and Valeria, so I will probably skip. I do have Wolvie and Sabretooth coming, though.
Yes, Fang Wolverine makes sense for sure. Should we ever get a regular Brood, I really hope it's not in a two pack, though, as it would be such a good army builder.
Currently, the plan is to release a figure review each week the show is on that will tie into that week's episode, and try to pepper my thoughts on the episode into the review. So far I haven't talked about the show enough, but I am trying to do so more moving forward.
ok, serious comment. if hasbro was smart 😂😂😂 they could've used shoulders left from cyborg spiderman and right from deathlok and paint for brood wolverine or just mirror the missing one from either option.
Hey 5POA, i wanted to ask one thing regarding comic book looking superman, batman and spider man action figures, that being the best ones of the three, both quality and money, thank ya if ya respond
They never made that Wolverine before & never should have. He was only infected by Brood embryo for a short period before his healing powers turned him back normal. It’s a wasted opportunity to give collectors a Wolvie we could really appreciate. I can think of at least a 1/2 dozen better ones. Glad Charles has his girlfriend now ;)

Probably lol
BEST of the BEST Review
It’s hard to decide between the Logan and sabertooth or patch and joe fixit pack that I’m most excited for but its probably Logan and sabertooth
Yeah, currently the Sabertooth set is the only other one I have preordered

Oh im so tired of another wolverine figure😩 Maybe we can expect a brood figure next
Bridgite Nielson?
Can definitely see it, but Bridgette's eyes aren't quite so far apart
And she doesn't have claws
Lilandra's celebrity double. The face kind of reminds me of Denise Richards
I can see it. Especially the mouth, but not who I am thinking. I think it was Kate Moss she reminds me of

If I had to take a wild guess who Lilandra reminds you of, I’d say Natasha Henstridge. Looks just like her to me!
I can see it! But I think the person I was thinking of is Kate Moss

Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica!
Never having watched Battlestar Galactica, def not who I am thinking, but I can see it for sure!
The only Wolverine figures from these 2-packs I give an ass about is the cowboy outfit Wolverine, and maybe the F4 colors one.
I'm conflicted on the FF one. When I saw them at first, I thought it was taken from a What If where the Fantastic Four was Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Ghost Rider taking on Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, which is a comic I really love.

Brood Wolverine with a actual Brood eould have made sense or a Fang Wolverine and Lilandra.
Yes, Fang Wolverine makes sense for sure. Should we ever get a regular Brood, I really hope it's not in a two pack, though, as it would be such a good army builder.
I figured out who she looks like! That girl from Battlestar Galactica!
Unless I blinked did u not try the on the old head on Lilandra??🤔🤔
I did not. Honestly, as good as the new head is it didn't occur to me to swap them lol
Hey Jason! Can you make a video on your thoughts of the new X-Men 97 show? Would love to hear them!
Currently, the plan is to release a figure review each week the show is on that will tie into that week's episode, and try to pepper my thoughts on the episode into the review. So far I haven't talked about the show enough, but I am trying to do so more moving forward.
That's pretty cool man!
I feel like they should have given Wolverine fisted claw hands, and Lilandra should have had an alternate unhelmeted head.
Yeah but then they'd have to figure out how that weird Shiar hair works in three dimensions lol
@@5POAFigureReviews I mean the helmet already is in that shape so I think they've got the general idea figured out.
ok, serious comment. if hasbro was smart 😂😂😂 they could've used shoulders left from cyborg spiderman and right from deathlok and paint for brood wolverine or just mirror the missing one from either option.
That might work!
Lilandra looks like LeeLoo from 5th Element.
Hey 5POA, i wanted to ask one thing regarding comic book looking superman, batman and spider man action figures, that being the best ones of the three, both quality and money, thank ya if ya respond
Lilandra looks like Jessica Chastain
I can use a brood in my marvel zombie collection
That works!
Winona Ryder
I can see it, but I am pretty sure I was thinking of Kate Moss
Kate Moss?
You know what, I think that's it!!!
Looks like Cameron Diaz to me.
I can see it, but I am pretty sure I was thinking of Kate Moss
3:40 Uma Thurman.
I can see it, especially Pulp Fiction era Uma, but not who I was thinking of.
She looks a bit like 90s era Bridget Fonda
I can see it
To me, lilandra kinda reminds me of Britney Spears from the 90s and early 2000s.
Uma therman
They never made that Wolverine before & never should have.

Another commenter pointed out this would have been a good opportunity for Fang Wolverine and I can't help but agree.
“and never should have” 😂 you have to much time buy it or don’t wth
Léa Seydoux
Not who I was thinking of but wow yeah I can definitely see it!
Lilandra kinda looks like Angelina Jolie or the girl from Suckerpunch
Emily Browning! Great observation.
Thank ya thank ya. As soon as I saw her that's who I thought of then Angelina also came to mind
Lilandra looks like Angelina Jolie
I can see it, but not who I am thinking
umma therman
Looks a little bit like Angelina Jolie
wolverine looking rather submissive and broodible
Lol yeah well the Brood are bred for their Queen so that works
