For character designs like this where they have digitigrade legs or they walk on their toes a lot, they should add an extra swivel for the toes, or in the center of the foot or something. As is, the ankle pivot is basically useless. I have a Greninja model kit and for his ankle they put a swivel in the middle of his foot and it works great.
Yep, the movie venom body was a good call for Blackheart, thanks for the size comparison also. He looks great but damnit putting Blackheart as a BAF in a really mediocre wave is just mean. But, to look on the bright side, we got the Son of Mephisto, so it's only a matter of time before we get daddy.
I hope the release a Mephisto soon. Supposably he's been name dropped in the third episode of Agatha All Along and it could be possible that he shows up in the show as well. I'm hoping they release Mephisto to go along with the show. One can only dream lol.
@@obi-onekenerdi reverse ab crunch is fine if they did it like a ball joint waist it'd probably be super limited because they hate scooping out unnecessary material from the sculpt 99% of the time
@@owene2530 I agree somewhat, if Hasbro tried something else brand new they probably wouldn’t do it very well initially (or ever). At least most of the reverse ab crunches look fine when they’re used which is a hard thing to get right with that type of joint. But I still think the ball pegs in both waist and upper torso is a more efficient design on paper.
It's cheaper for them manufacturing and assembly wise, plus, they lose no sales due them. Anyone who wanted him, will buy regardless and just complain.
@@zephyrleapold6796 I don’t know if you’re referring to the neck or the torso but it doesn’t actually cost them more to make the figure move properly. It might be faster to design it inefficiently, but if the joint is in the budget it should be the same cost wise. I do agree that people who wanted the figure, even if it isn’t good, will still buy it regardless though. Thats part of the problem when it comes to this mess of a line right now.
Unless I can get the figures from this wave on clearance I'll just wait for the inevitable solo release of Blackheart. Hopefully that one will come with the proper hands & will be painted.
Yeah, his no-nonsense review style is very good. I don't always agree, but I always understand where he's coming from. I was inspired to try to do the same style, but I sometimes explain why I got the figures or my plans for them.. Xcorpeos tutorials are very helpful and give a good idea of what we might need for addressing the most common shortcomings from Hasbro.
My disappointment in some of the articulation aside, I’m glad to see more Marvel vs Capcom staple characters made. Sure he’s a weird character to be a staple but he was there since Marvel Super Heroes. Interested to see how this stacks up against other MvC related figures.
Yeah I'm tired of it too. Double ball joint torso is the same amount of parts used as the reverse ab crunch so I don't get why they can't do it, they do it with other lines.
@@suhtangwong to the reverse ab crunch sure. But I’d prefer a ball joint in the diaphragm and at the waist, it’s the best design by far, and is far more versatile than any other combination.
@@scottroxford5715 Hasbro has convinced themself they’re on to something with the Legends articulation, I guess. It’s like they legitimately don’t understand how to design a figure.
In the figures defense, sure there's no paint, but does it really need it? I actually had to pause and zoom in on your video, because I thought you were crazy and it did actually have paint. ...but, it was the way the light was hitting it! It actually gets blue shading from the light! Its very noticeable in the pic at the end of your vid. Sik
That was probably daylight coming into my room, and appearing blue due to the white balance. Personally I'm fine the way it is since I don't paint my figures.
Great sculpt. Must be one of the best Legends figs for ages. Nice big shoulder and meaty thighs instead of the normal puny build they give figures. Hasbro being cheap with the hands and paint again. Like others have commented; a ball joint at the waist and lower neck would lift it even more. If they knew how to do it properly.
dammit he does look good, i hope i can get some of the figures like bloodstorm on a sale so i can get the full lad, i hope you have good things to say about Dracula as hes the one i was most interested in for the wav and Brother voodoo seems to be the best value. Wonder if/when they will do a version of his dad
Best figure out of this and gotta give us a fucking BAF why why marvel that’s so dumb there’s hardly no figures of this guy I would be 40$ not over 100$ just to buildup this fucker sorry I’m just mad
Well, thankfully, I have zero interest in this BAF, since I'm only interested in potentially 3-4 figures, and the Hellverine doesn't have a BAF piece... Since one of the figures I want actually comes with his head, and that head/face gives me PREDATOR vibes... I'm thinking that since I'm building a group of Predators, an Alien/Xenomorph hunting pack, using the Walmart exclusive 7" Predators, maybe I can utilize the head to create a different look for one of those figures, by adding some paint and smoothing out the face to more resemble a faceplate and decorate some of the "dreads"... Otherwise, it's useless to me unless I find someone with a KINGPIN BAF Right leg (white), who's interested in trading for Blackheart parts...😅 Beyond that, maybe this mold will potentially be repainted/tooled to be reused as either S'ym or N'astir for the X-Men Inferno villains...🤔 Great review and modifications, as always, brother! Looking forward to your Hellverine review...! (If you're getting that figure?!)🤔
I only collect X-Men Marvel Legends but I want this guy so bad, as well as a Shuma Gorath (kinda pissed we missed out on Mephisto)
We can keep dreaming of Shuma Gorath
I see another Classic MVC Player here.
Shuma Gorath will probably be a haslab
It's a good looking BAF, very excited to get him on my shelf with Ghost Rider

@@Endlessshadow1032 So that's what they're doing to market that show? Ew. Y'know I forgot all about that show until this comment.
Even worse, the figure that comes out could be a human-looking shrivelled MCU equivalent of Mephisto. Yuck
Wonder if they will come out with Mephisto's daddy Marduk Kurios?
Good video. I already have some pink and purple wash ready to go for this to be perfect.
The problem is there’s not a single figure in the wave I really want besides black heart
That's why the BAF alone is going for $150 on eBay.
hasbro sabotaging all their figures with that neck barbell
And that stupid reverse ab crunch. If they fixed those two joints their figures would be pretty solid

I just want Blackheart. Hopefully he gets a singular release 🙏

You won’t get it until 5 years from now lol.
Don't think u understand a BAF.
6:05 Cat agrees. The joint ain't purrfect.
I did re record that segment but decided to leave her meow in there
Marvel vs capcom fans gonna love him
Not really, I canceled mines cause the hair is wrong. Lol
Awesome mods and review of Blackheart!
Great neck mods! The review is so nice, man! You cover everything. I may add extra black glossy paint hits on his toe nails.

Those claws need a glow-up! 💅 Thank you again for watching 😊
U don't have to agree! Everyone should have an opinion, even if it's just toys.
wow your villain landing pose so beautiful
Awesome review as usual! Please review Dracula next 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The BAF alone is worth getting the wave for it. Amazing offering by Hasbro again.
Hope you review and maybe mod the jada street fighter figures, especially bison. Great comprehensive review as always
Great review, thanks!

So sick of that reverse ab crunch, hope I’m not alone in that.

Nice review. It would look nice with a few splashes of blue, and Spider-man shaped eyes.
I would love to see them re-release Blackheart but in Red as Mephisto
Want a Blue comic accurate classic Blackheart more.
Blue Blackheart and blue Venom
Can't wait to get him!
I need this for my marvel vs capcom display
Looks great but not worth the price of having to get rid of the wave lol.
Would love this BAF but I actually I found a pretty cheap copy of the toybiz one. I'm tempted to get that for my MvC shelf
Rare footage of Blackheart not spamming j.HK
Best BAF in a while. Does this mean you're not reviewing the rest of the wave?
Not planning to, for now. Maybe a short video
Hopefully with the new tail system we can get a new lizard baf (or what I’m hoping for) a retooled rerelease of original lizard baf

Like others have commented; a ball joint at the waist and lower neck would lift it even more. If they knew how to do it properly.
Maybe the improvements would be done on the single release. Something for everyone

Gotta have bad daddy Mephisto
venom and predator love child. also, where is the spider-man head at 11:45 from?
😂😂
Heads a custom from Fahrulstore35
Did you not get Dracula? I really want to see that review these figures look tremendous:-)
Working on it man 😉
I just wish this had the head swivel can barely look up 😢
Finally! This looks great, but I'm not interested on the entire wave
Which head are you using with your Spiderman figure?
Custom head from Fahrulstore35
So bummed that this is a build-a-figure I just want a decent foe for my ghost rider other than the ORB
How did you get all the pieces for the BAF if you didn't get the Brother Voodoo figure?
I did get the whole wave, I just didn't review others
@@xcorpeo Okay
ojala usen ese molde para lizard de nwh 😢
could the head and tail somehow swap over to the original toybiz
Not without some work
wow what is that spideman head !?
Custom 😉 from Fahrulstore35
One fist? He does even punch when he fights 😂
The comparison between the two figures looks like those before you do drugs and after you drugs pictures lol
Don't do drugs then 🤭
Time to gather Marvel VS Capcom 2 figures
U could choose between street fighter from Jada or Storm Collectibles too. Storm appears to be making them closer to the MvC looks
@xcorpeo yeah but storm collectibles can be costly. Chum-li is $300 VS Jada at $30

Im confused, are the pins concealed or is it pinless?
Should have both hands closed

U skip Dracula and Voodoo or is UA-cam algorithm effn with me?
I did skip reviewing them for now
Really think that ToyBiz figures were coated in some addicting narcotic cause goddamn every Toy Biz figure is ugly AF.
