    If I recall correctly, Diamond Select still has this legal limitation that prevents them from putting better articulation on their figures in order to not have them compete with Marvel Legends. So while they've gotten better with the articulation they're still not able to give most figures double joints.

    • @vgamer11

      @Sethmonster sort of, yeah. But I think part of what keeps a lot of people from buying more Marvel Select is the limited articulation. Their Thor figures look great but can barely move!

    • @ReeceHoward06
      @ReeceHoward06 Рік тому +6

      @@vgamer11 it's scale more than anything. Legends collectors are sticklers for 1/12 scale. Articulation is the other justification though. Pretty much the same reason they rag on McFarlane DC...

    • @vgamer11
      @vgamer11 Рік тому +4

      @ReeceHoward06 I suppose so. I collect figures in the 1/12 scale and that's what keeps me from collecting more from companies like McF or NECA. But I am able to justify what I do buy from them if the characters are large anyway, or can fit in with my collection with modification. Marvel Legends aren't true 1/12 scale either, after all.

    Marvel Select Beta Ray Bill was a MUST HAVE for me... and seeing in my notifications that you reviewed this Marvel Select makes it a definite ULITMATE MUST HAVE for me! And yes, Beta Ray Bill is one of my favourite underrated characters, especially because of its amazing character design and features! Missed all the previous releases of Beta Ray Bill in figure form but it was worth it because there is this one hell of an amazing figure for a great deal and I didn't miss it! Got even more excited to receive it next month! Super glad you loved it as well and thank you for the amazing review!

    Thanks for the video Anthony. Your review is dead on with this product. Since the day that big plastic windowed box in all of its glory arrived on my doorstep, I have been a proud owner. For me, the DST Marvel Select line has been a welcomed alternative to the weaker offerings from Hasbro. Likewise, I do not accept any excuses from Hasbro for price gouging collectors. Considering the standards to which ML sets for their products recently, it would appear the crime is pretty much a double jeopardy - more, for less.
    I want to personally thank you for taking the plunge into the Marvel Select brand. It offers some pretty decent accessories and their catalogue is growing exponentially; Beta, Vision, Red Hulk, and Apocalypse have been purchased in 2023 for roughly $120 USD. Hasbro's X-Men 60th Villain wave for about the same amount. Titanium Man, Torch, Silver Centurion, and Immortal Hulk are noteworthy. I am confident neither would disappoint.

    I first got a proper introduction to this character reading the Sam Alexander Nova run, really enjoyed him in that. He's not a character I'm attached to enough to get this figure, but I can't deny how great this figure looks.
    I think the varied scaling of larger character in comics makes it easy to see why so many collectors put these larger scale Diamond Select figures into their Marvel Legends display, I know if they did a classic super rich shiny red Crimson Dynamo I'd grab that immediately.

    DST are embarassing Hasbro with this. And they're already being shown up by McFarlane's DC figures which - as much as they might not be perfect as figures - offer far more sculpting detail and pound-for-pound more plastic than Hasbro's figures do for less money. Hasbo need to realise that if they're going to ask £30 a figure, the same body slopily repainted a hundred different ways with different heads and no accessories isn't going to cut it.

Hasbro's product is even more insulting when you consider the rumor Diamond is contractually limited with POA. Marvel license expense my ass.

Personally, I don't like to give Hasbro defenders any ground to stand on, so I generally try to avoid making comparisons like that without acknowledging that there could be a very different cost associated with the different licenses.
      Hasbro sucks and does enough shady stuff that I don't even think you need to touch the license thing to show why the value just isn't there for them. As you've pointed out numerous times, they make stupid and lazy decisions that wouldn't cost more to do correctly. They just DGAF about the line or their customers.

    Here's why the price of Marvel Legends makes sense, because of Capitalism and the tendency of companies to profit seek at the expense of quality and customer care. They do not need to put in the extra touches because clearly the line is profitable enough that it is not affecting the bottom line yet.

    • @WiGgYof09
      @WiGgYof09 Рік тому

      It's because Hasbro has a ton of employees compared to DST. There is so much administrative bloat and extra expense for offices and utilities, etc. Hasbro isn't in the action figure business, they are in the empire business (to paraphrase Walter White)
      DST is a private small company and all they do is make action figures and collectibles. They don't have a bunch of vice presidents of bullshit to pay, they aren't trying to recoup money spent on a movie studio.
      Action figure companies that just make action figures end up making far better product at only slightly higher prices. Go with companies that don't have corporate bloat.

      @Father Pie of course the wages of the over sized staff is reflected in the price. Its all added expense. You think DST isn't a capitalist company? Of course they are, but they are a smaller business and thus able to adapt more and keep costs down.
      Hasbro is a bloated company with far too many administrative costs and non-toy related costs. DsT is at the right mix if big enough for name recognition and distribution, but not so big that they have redundant departments.

      @@WiGgYof09 I mean, it's relative right? DST might have an "oversized" staffing issue. Regardless, profits are a way for CEOs to make money on unpaid wages, so it's meaningless to "legitimize" price gouging, because we are the ones paying the difference. I don't like the inaccurate or lazy paint jobs because the company doesn't care to put in the extra cost to get it right, it's frustrating to put it mildly, and DST definitely takes short cuts too, the articulation could be leagues better, but it's not cost effective. The point being, we the customers are being shafted all the time, because these companies aren't catering to us, not entirely, we represent a portion of a larger consumer base.

      They have more staff sure, but the ML line also moves way more product than MS.
      The point of a big company with lots of employees is that they can make up for it, and make more in the end by selling in bulk (in cases of physical products).
      ML also saves a ton by reusing parts constantly, something i'm fine with conceptually except for their missuse and overreliance on it despite not having more quality anywhere else to make up for it anymore.
