"Do not support this HasLab project" - Anthony Customs, on the Ghost Rider HasLab, 2022.
You're the first major toy review channel to actually say that sentence.
Finally, someone that's not afraid to say it out loud.
You have my respect, sir. 😎👊🏼
I watched it...same here.🙄
And hasbro actually sends him stuff!! Respect ✊
Reminds me of when Tydrium Hangar was like "don't back the HasLab gi Joe jet cuz if so we'll never get reasonably priced Joe vehicles"
You would rather have someone tell you what to do rather than give you the facts and their opinion, but leave the final choice to you?
The choice is up to them... This video can't hurt you...
Well said I completely agree, it's ashame cuz I'd get this set if hasbro didn't want a literal kidney for it
Same. I love the way the car looks.
metaphorical kidney

“ If you don’t have anything positive to say, then don’t buy it”, typical Toy UA-camr response, thank you Anthony for keeping it real, at least their is one UA-camr representing the toy community honestly.
If you haven't checked out Articulated Ninja Reviews, he's got a few videos on this topic, and has been blasting Hasbro for at least a week or 2. He showed clips from a podcast with a former Marvel Legends designer that demonstrated the Sentinel had about as many parts in ONE arm as the entire Hell Charger. Pretty much completely demolished any argument you could make about this thing being even remotely the same value.
RetroBlasting has one of THE best responses to this
Damn straight, that kinda attitude is what got us into this shit and at the same time is shiny light on all the shill youtubers.

Anthony is like a father figure, he doesn't sugar coat it. He likes you, he wants to keep liking you, but he won't be able to like you if you don't try your best.
Lol
The reason I like Anthony's custom is because he is blunt and keeps it 100%
You know it
Man you never miss, I’m glad I can hop on and know there’s at least one other sane action figure UA-camr I can trust each time!
Total respect. This was never anything I was gonna get, but I couldn't believe how much they were asking. Legends are too much already, but this pricing was absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah..I always wait until clearance, for reduced bargain buys.🙄
@@glennjthompson332like you I buy when I can get figures at what I consider a reasonable price. I managed to snag a Hydra Stomper for £20.99 yesterday. Now that's a bargain.😁
This was going to be my first Haslab. I absolutely love Robbie Reyes and ever since they teased that the project was going to be related to Robbie’s Ghost Rider, I was beyond excited. I still have yet to back it, and I don’t think I ever will. That price is just WAY too high. Now if the tiers were Carter Slade and his horse, and Danny Ketch and his bike, that $350 would’ve been more than justified in my opinion. Sadly that’s not the case. Great points Anthony.
Don't be nieve man, Powerturtlebuster reviews said the same thing, it's a test. And people paying these prices gave them fuel, they won't go back on the amount. Seeing 20 bucks legends figures is out. They will stop making marvel figures before they revert back to the lower price. And like ptb said the car has no sound, low paint, they didn't pay a license for the car brand, the led is going ro be dim cause it's one light piping to the tires and front. Also there's no diecast metal. The figures ate repaints. Whoever backs this is an idiot.
You're better off buying the PW Toys Ghost Rider instead of this thing. Looks so much better. It's like a mini Hot Toys figure.
@@Lalo3g1 Bro, stop comment bombing!
I like that Anthony doesn't use a gimmicky title like "Did I back this HL?" or "Did I drop my backing for this ML?". He promises his opinion and delivers it w/o being bandwagony or clickbaity.
I think Hasbro saw how people factored the bonus tiers into the, "value" of a Haslab (since that makes sense from the customer's perspective), but they took advantage of that and priced this at the perceived value for the project + all tiers being unlocked from the very beginning.
^This
And all the youtubers LITERALLY telling people to "wait for them to show the tiers, it might be worth it", as if the tiers are ever supposed to factor into the initial cost of a crowdfund.
They definitely did and then some. It STILL wouldn't equal $350 with the planned stretch goals. The car looks no more than $125 if it were on shelves. The figure looks about $15-$20, but about $25 due to the current Marvel Legends pricing. About 3-4 extra tiers worth of figures would be about $250... A whole $100 less when going the "tier value" route.
@@ReeceHoward06 I don't necessarily disagree with your valuation, but you're low based on current Hasbro prices. Robbie with the accessories they showed would absolutely be more than $25. The reused retro GR is more than $25. I imagine Mephisto would be more than the $25 price point too. We'll have to see the size and accessories that come with the other tiers if they're ever revealed.
I don't think it's worth the price, but based on current Hasbro prices you might be able to make the argument @$350 for everything they planned. However, that's not how the stretch goals are supposed to work, so it's pretty scummy on Hasbro's part regardless.
@@TheMattTrakker Well the $25 IS already an upcharge. The basic Robbie would be anywhere from $25-27 based on current price. Mephisto may be about $30 as is. 2 or 3 more tiers around that price.
Thank you! Most toy influencers even the ones that agree it’s a ripoff are still bending down to Hasbro and funding. It’s ridiculous
Fomo took over their brains
Fr, all the major YTers going "guys... this is way overpriced... I mean I'm still gonna back it but still..." like that does anything except show how easily you're won over. Grumbling about the price a bit while still giving them all your money solves nothing

You're the only action figure reviewer I trust when making a purchase specially for collectors like me who are late in the hobby and buying old version on second hand markets most of the time 👍🏽 More power to you! Lots of love from Manila!
Really good points. Since the PulseCon event I've been wanting to back out even more (I noticed something I didn't really catch before when they had it on display on that table). I agree with almost everything you said here, but I strongly disagree with what you're saying at 5:37 It's not just them, and it's not inflation either, it's what I call the "Oligarch Handshake". The biggest corporations have agreed to take full advantage of a global crisis and they are gauging us at the gas pump, super markets, big box stores, and action figures as well. "If everything costs about 30% more, we'll all make more!" Other companies like NECA and Mattel (both public companies too) have had some big price increases, but smaller companies like Tamashii Nations, McFarlaneToys, and Super7 have stayed the same.
You guys are our voice. Say it out loud. Don't let them kill our hobby
Is that what is called Price fixing?
You make a good point, McFarlane especially. They came out with the Batmobeast car and Batman for $50 at Walmart and I'm personally more inclined to get that over this.
@@TIMMUT17 Yep which is illegal but no one enforces it, unless there's money to be made. $20 bucks today isn't as worthless as companies want you to believe, since $20 in 2020 is really only about $23 tops today. But profits demand they convince the public it's $25.
I mean look how much they're charging for Shattered Glass Soundwave- $63 for a figure with less paint than its original overpriced version at $35.
Hasbro is bad. They literally killed the in box collectors. By releasing that stupid box package with no plastic tray, no window to see the figure. Sorry but hasbro is lame.
I have always respected your honest opinions and reviews on figs, love your thoughts on this
You’ve gained an enormous amount of respect from me. I will support you as much as I possibly can, thank you for being…
~ H O N E S T ~
Thanks a lot.
Excellent response Anthony! you are the first whom I have heard talk about the future pricing of the legends. We are here to support you and back you the whole way. I hope your video goes viral and opens people's eyes to think twice, three times before purchasing cheap plastic molds with shiny new heads. The car isn't even an official licensed charger so where is all those hundreds of dollars going to?
This man has been the voice of reason since birth. Thank you.
Other reviewers, "If it makes you happy, get it."
AnothonysCustoms, "Don't buy it."
I like that solid stance.
You’ve always spoken the truth about hasbro’s greedy tactics they conduct. From calling out egregious reuse and bad paint apps for years at this point. You helped opened my eyes early in my collecting journey to watch out for the shady behavior hasbro displays. This video is so important ; I hope people take it to heart and DONT SUPPORT THIS HASLAB!! Thank you Anthony for always speaking your mind and truth !
This... This is why people subscribe... maybe harsh on reviews and products but never a single lie... always 💯 even on products and characters he likes. Only UA-camr toy reviews we can trust.
Very well articulated (no pun intended) assessment of what Hasbro is doing, thank you 👏👏
Thank you for saying it. I think too many people who are in love with their toys and the toy-makers and they're more than happy to let these companies walk all over them. The FOMO is real and Hasbro has weaponized it.
About damn time someone said things as they are and called Hasbro's bs for what it is: "unethical business practice".
A lot of people don't realize that Hasbro has nothing to lose with this project; those things are made to order, they just make as much product as they need to and that's it. No clearance, no leftovers, massive earnings.
I was afraid this would happen after the miraculous revival of the Galactus Haslab. They increased the price for that thing (the Sentinel was $250 if I remember it right) and still got funded. They are trying to push that trash again with the FOMO: "This is the only way we'll ever make Mephisto, so back us up".
They aren't selling us stuff anymore, they are straight up holding wanted characters hostage and expect us to pay the ransom.
Don't support this trash. Don't let them win.
As always, mad respect for you, Anthony. You are the only one willing to upload these type of videos.
Finally, an honest sensible video about this haslab project. So many don't realise the impact if this hits it's target.
Also, we know it can't possibly take a whole year to produce and ship when currently most pre-order figures reach our hands way before the release date. All that interest Hasbro gain in the bank by holding on to all our money.
This why I like my dude Anthony. A straight-up, no bs person is hard to come by
Man ive seen people say that "if you dont have the money to back this up then you shouldn't discourage others on getting this" which is absolutely disgusting. Hasbro has to be the most "corporate company" of all the toy companies out there. Sure they put out good figures (gi joe) but they are ridiculously overpriced and its all because of these people that has lots of money and no common sense.
If you're discouraging people just because you can't afford it, I suppose that line of thinking makes sense. But people shouldn't support it because it's grossly over priced, whether you can afford it or not.
@@TheMattTrakker that logic is true but in this case anthony is absolutely right this is just hasbro testing the waters if people would buy their product at the maximum price possible and there are people who has all the money on the world who's enabling that.
It's the classic Twitter argument where someone says "I like waffles" but another poster responds "So you must hate pancakes." You can say something is overpriced without talking about personal finance. Whether someone can afford it or not is irrelevant.
absolutely. look at McFarlane. figures constantly pumped out & STILL in the 19.99-24.99 range. every(mostly) figure has a unique sculpt no constantly putting figures on the same buck. larger scale figures(I don't collect much McFarlane besides a few spawn & mortal kombat) but 100% respect that he is not out here taking advantage & constantly over charging his customers & is a much smaller company. hasbro is a huge company & have no need outside of greed to over charge for toys
For those who want to back it purely for the Mephisto figure, just be patient and they’ll release it as a deluxe in the next year or so just like they’re doing with the imperial Luke from the Rancor haslab.
That Luke was going to get re-released no matter what, however, Hasbro has commented that Mephisto can't/won't happen in the main line. Still not worth the $350 price tag.
Not even a good figure, the Marvel Select is much better. Besides, part of me is skeptical that they "can't make him otherwise." Seems like more FOMO foolishness to me
@@BelieveInKnize Hasbro are prob bluffing to get the project funded, why can’t it happen? I heard the rumours that Disney won’t release demonic or satanic figures but that’s just a myth. They’d be stupid for not releasing it as they’d easily profit from it, can’t see them turning down easy money💰
@@PowerChordEPS I agree that the MS re-release would be better with a few modern tweaks/repaint as it looks more classical.
@@BelieveInKnize The problem with this is if you back it, but it doesn't reach Tier 1 (which is a pretty hefty 33% jump over the initial backing level), then you're out $350, but still don't get Mephisto.
The Marvel Select Mephisto is a great figure, but I feel bringing him up isn't the most feasible option right now, because aftermarket prices on that thing are steeeep. However, MS has re-issued figures in the past (like Thanos), so hopefully see all this hubbub over a Mephisto figure and put theirs back out in the near future.
I love more of these Anthony. More 10-15 min videos about things outside toy reviews
Numbers keep dropping as I write this comment. Hopefully the community gets together to show Hasbro they won't get away with it.
I noticed. Here's hoping.
I could not literally, or physically agree more with everything you said. Thank you for making this video.
Better late than never thank you Anthony you are well respected in this community and I just canceled my marvel legends preorders because everything you said was spot on.
the best and most informative video regarding haslab 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bro, you said EXACTLY what I’ve been saying about this! - when collectors support these grossly overpriced projects, it F**KS THE MARKET UP! Well said, man!
Anthony speaking straight facts 👍🔥
Thanks for always being a real one.
I agree and I can afford to get it. I started backing it but later pulled out cause I thought it wasn’t actually worth that kind of money. So I’m having a custom car and figure being made a whole lot less. Thank goodness for talented gifts of customizer ‼️
Really goods points made Anthony. I love your very honest videos/reviews and your integrity. Top man
Thanks
Thanks replying. I'm glad you got to read my opinion. Keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot
Well said Anthony! I agree with all points you made. I’m still waiting on Rival Clans. Can’t wait for you to launch your AF line!
Still working on it. Thanks
Marvel Legends have been an affordable option for collectors for a while pre pandemic. Even though I personally thought $22 was a lot given the quality of these figures, it was still an affordable way to add Marvel figures to your collection. That’s how I got into them in the first place. I haven’t been collecting them for that long, but having a general idea of the quality of a ML figure, it is no where near the $25-$30 mark. NECA’s BTTF figures are around $30 and you get a fully hand painted figure, unique sculpts, hand painted character accessories, alternate heads, and collector friendly packagings. With Legends, it’s like you’re getting the same figure with either a new color for the mold, little to no paint, dated articulation (They’re just now adding double jointed elbows and biceps swivels on females like they couldn’t do it before), barely any accessories, and on top of that they don’t come in a collector friendly package. They’re just thrown in cardboard trays and wrapped in paper. A few of them are, but the majority of these ML figures don’t look or feel like collectibles to me. With these high prices, Hasbro is competing with the big leagues. $30 is reaching Neca/SH figarts prices. $50-$100 is reaching Mafex/Mezco/Figma prices. $350 is a hot toys. I don’t think I need to explain how a hot toys figure has better quality than a basic plastic car with little paint, no cool features like RC or die cast, and another reused ML figure. Also unrelated, but put the recently released Mafex Jean Grey next to the VHS Jean grey. IMO if they’re going to start charging these premium prices for their items, it’s only fair to compare to other high priced items that look better. I honestly can’t find any justification for spending this much money on a Marvel Legends. They have not made anything with the quality of over $300 bucks. Even the Sentinel didn’t look that premium. I haven’t been on the Legends train that long and I already plan on jumping off after I complete my Blue/Gold X-men team, and buying the remaining two figures for my Avengers display, tho I might go Mafex for Iron Man.
THIS!!! But the influencers have helped in the convincing of Marvel Legends being the end all be all. I never got the hype and ML have always been fun and cheap placeholders for my collection because of the reasons in your post.
Your absolutely right about the cheap look of legends. I love my sentinel and how he looks displayed, even though it has loose hips & knees. But the three zero hulkbuster I have makes that thing look bad. $100 cheaper and looks , feels , operates and just does everything better.
@@malignantool132 Imports are where it’s at man. They typically cost a little more, but compared to Legends you can just see the difference in quality. I mentioned it in my comment, but comparing the Mafex Jean Grey to the VHS Jean there is too much of a difference. The $100 one has crisp, clean paint application, a great headsculpt, better articulation, two extra heads, several hands, a power effect part, and a stand while the $40 one ($27 on pulse plus shipping which is $6.99 and taxes) is a dated body mold with little paint, inaccurate shading, wrong colors, and no power part. It’s laughable.
Also the theeezero figures look pretty cool. Hoping they make a mark 85
@@Mattyboy-dn4oo I don't currently have any Mafex but am looking to get the Ironman 165. Great looking figure and cannon. I have a lot of storm collectables and mezco. A few each of 1000 toys , three zero .and good smile. Videos don't do the imports enough justice. You can really see / feel the difference in hand. My collection doesn't have a lot of ryme or reason. I cherry pick a lot of things I deem cool to me. Hasbro used to be good for a decent figure for around $20 to scratch that collecting itch. Those days are gone along with their paint apps. I honestly think those guys defending price increases have never owned anything besides hasbro. There's just no comparison
@@malignantool132 True. From what I see on the Marvel Legends Reddit club, mostly all they own are Hasbro. It’s a shame because I can think of so many different companies that do better than Hasbro. There are some products they make that I think look better than some imports. I think their love triangle Wolverine looks better than the Mafex version. But most of the time, import quality is just a step above Hasbro. I own 4 Play Arts Kai figures, a few Figmas. 3 1/4 scale Neca figures. and the Hot Toys Spider-Gwen. Most of the Legends are older and I’m only focusing on the F4, Blue/Gold X-men team, and the Avengers (a mix of 70s era Avengers and MCU in comic form). The only new Legends I have are comic Black Panther, 20th Cap, RYV Spidey/Spinneret, Classic Dr. Strange, and Retro Falcon. Just a few of the new ones that are good. I’ll go Mafex for Thor and potentially Iron Man
Respect man, happy you weighed in, it’s really hard to justify this price.
Near the end of the year, Christmas is around the corner and I’m starting to get hammered by preorders, it does look cool but them collecting when this project ends, I really don’t think they could’ve picked a worse time.
Much respect to you for this
Oh, would you look at that, the *truth* is out! Thank you Anthony, you've pinned the tail with every. single. statement. Bravo! Worth every second of waiting since the poll.
Thank you for your wise words. I hope collectors see the bigger picture for the future of collecting.
10/10 video, perfect response
Thank u Anthony's custom for this video. I 1000% agree with u.
I think it boils down to fear of getting ripped off vs fear of missing out. The reason I suspect this isn’t going gang busters is because I’m not sure what exactly we are missing out on.
I agree with this video 100%
I hope you don’t mind but I had to share this on Reddit because your point of “Marvel Legends never being the same again if this succeeds” is a point I haven’t seen brought up before and some of those guys over there need that hard slap of reality given to them.
Share away. New supporters are great. New haters make no difference lol
@@AnthonysCustoms this is why you’re my go to reviewer, you tell it straight from the hip with no bias. Keep it up brother!
I can still remember when DC Direct released the Batman the Animated Series Batmobile. That thing was huge, it had light up features, and best of all, it was only $100.
Out of all the chaos, insanity, and division this haslab has created, we find unbiased clarity here lol thank you for this. 100% if this funds it’s bad news for collectors and this hobby in the long run.
3:31-3:39- Damn,Anthony sounds like a badass leader 🔥
Man, I'm so glad you said so eloquently what I am feeling. It's such a damn, damn shame, because I love the car with the flame effects. Would have bought the car on its own in a store, if reasonably priced.
Well said Anthony! Completely agree with all your points.
Mcfarlane is re-releasing the batmobeast with no shell and death metal batman together for only 50 to dunk on this lol
👍Yeah...i heard of about it, it looks good!😄
Yep, that's 100% classic Todd McFarlane moves lol
@@sigerlion8608 that would look so sick, I might customize mine to have it
I'm picking one up not just to support Todd and stick it to Hasbro, but that thing is legitimately cool
@@PowerChordEPS the original was sick too, even for 80 bucks. Imo it was more of a playset than a vehicle and getting another for basically 30 and with extra paint? Hell yeah, kind of devalues the old one though lmao
Thanks Anthony you're the best action figure reviewer ever.
Excellent take. I’m glad someone with clout finally said to NOT support this. If this funds what’s to stop them from trying to charge $600 for a character like Fin Fang Foom.
Hear friggin' hear, well said as always. Thanks.
glad you've come around. I remember saying that I thought the haslab model was gross and you replied saying it was no different than a preorder back when the sentinel shipped. I agree with absolutely everything that has been said here and more big creators like you need to put this out there. thankfully it looks like this isn't going to fund as the numbers are dropping and the rancor never recovered from the backer drop.
I still don't have a problem with crowdfunding if it's done properly.
@@AnthonysCustoms neither do I... when it's warranted. Crowdfunding should be reserved for things that could not exist otherwise. Hasbro could have 1000% mass produced these and made em like pulse exclusive with a smaller run. They aren't some indy creator or a new company they are the biggest in the world. But I guess that's just how I see it
You're not wrong.
Love this video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
If you look at what happened with the first HasLab product, namely Unicron for like $ 600. At one time, he did not raise the right amount of money on crowdfunding on the last day, stopping at $ 7500 /$8000, and the next day they "anonymously invested" the remaining money, probably Hasbro themselves, so that their first product in this line would not fail.
I salute for taking a stand. No BS. 🙏🙏🙏
Granted I’m a huge Robbie Reyes fan I love his ghost rider look and the whole car part but damn 350$?? The only way I kinda see it being worth it if it included all the 3 ghost riders and vengeance with their respective vehicles, accessories and optional parts. I’ve been buying the old marvel legends because I just can’t keep tossing out 30 dollars for figures let alone trying to find them at my local stores. It’s getting harder and harder to keep collecting so it sucks to see that a figure I really want is so much
Hell yes! If this thing came with some other Ghost Riders, along with the vehicles, then the price would make a bit more sense.
The one good thing about the price hikes is that even retailers think they're bullshit lol. The Thor and Doctor Strange waves were discounted to normal price or lower within a month
Exactly! It's all about testing! You said it all!
I got my tea ready for this
Post view… I agree 💯% I’m skipping out on this one
YES!
this is the review I've been wanting to hear..
Perfectly said, Anthony!
Thank you so much!!!
Us if this Haslab gets funded: "He can't keep getting away with it!"
Nowadays Hasbro is worst than Mr. White...
💸Greed!💰😒Is all over the company,with ridiculous prices! Nothing new here....🙄
It is a free country baby. You can talk shit about things you don't like such as this Haslab. The amount of backlash from all the videos and comments show there is some (or a lot of) truth to all the negativity. Let freedom ring. Thanks Anthony for pointing out this was their way of testing the water with the collectors to see how much they can charge. Let freedom ring.
So many good points, its really cool to have mayor members of the community that speak to the bad practices of hasbro
I don't usually like videos on youtube, but this deserves the highest of likes
Speaking of other companies, even Bandai didn’t charge that much when they made their own shf car with the Tridoron (main vehicle of Kamen Rider Drive) and that also had lights and other features/accessories included with it (also the Tridoron has a much more unique and out there design compared to this which is a pretty standard muscle car) . Even buying the car with a Kamen Rider Drive figuart didn’t cost as much as this.
Very well said. I’ve been saying the same thing to people and I can’t understand how some people can’t understand this.
I never understood the people that supported this with the reasoning of "the tiers will make up for the cost!".. That's not how crowd funding works. Sheesh, what if you don't even hit tier 1? you're left with a busted product with an overpriced price tag.
Great job,… Great Job,,, Great Job!!! So glad you expressed, and articulated perspectives in relation to this product and what needs to interrogated… Keep it Real , that’s why we support you!!!
Jesus a youtuber with some balls!!
For the hasgrab price i could buy actual tyres for my actual car. Which does roll, even when my car is on fire. I would have enough change to buy 100-200 leds.
Boog_ACBA the absolute worst. Won't say a bad word about this joke, I think we know who's on Hasbro's free product list.
He also likes to talk about my channel in a disparaging way, from what I hear... Those things seem to line up.
@@AnthonysCustoms I wasn't aware of that, thanks for letting me know! He's even worse than I thought, I'll steer well clear from now on.
You make some extremely valid points here. I hadn't thought about the "testing the waters" concept before, but it makes sense. The "Early Bird" idea in particular was a horrible miscalculation.
In my local Walmart in western Canada. The new Iron Spider marvel legends Spider Man figure is priced at $47… and that in my opinion is one of their better looking figures,
but near fifty bucks for that or I pay an extra ten and get any of the NECA gargoyles or universal monsters… I know where my money is going. Sucks, but that’s where this has been heading for a while.
Agreed. Well said, my friend.
I agree 100% with your “do not support” stance. If you support this you support the rise in prices in legends. I completely agree with buy what you want and don’t buy what you don’t want but this is ludicrous on hasbro’s part. They are 100% testing us.
Nicely said. Glad to see more peoppe are waking up to these shenanigans like RetroBlasting was warning us about 5 years ago
As of right now, the only HasLab project I've actually backed was the Razor Crest, and I'm pretty happy with it even though I don't generally collect the Vintage Collection SW stuff.
Honestly though unless something in the future really catches my eye that'll probably stay the only one. I thought the H.I.S.S tank looked neat but I wasn't *that* big a G.I. Joe fan to drop $300 on it lmao.
Only thing that caught my eye on the HISS tank was that retro carded Cobra Commander, which I'm almost certain they'll reissue
Shipping rates for imports have dropped a lot too. From 20k per container from china to LA, to 2000 per container currently. But yet these high prices continue for all these corporations.
he is basically saying Vote with your doller.
I agree with you on this. I love this toy line also, and it tears me up to pass on so many figures as of late. I can’t justify the price point of the figures for what we are getting now. It sucks, but I’m only buying what I love, and maybe a guilty pleasure when it’s on sale. What hit home for me was the terrible QC of the Black Panther rereleases, like Killmonger’s lack of painted on hair where it was on the old release. I have cancelled a lot of preorders. This isn’t just a Marvel Legends problem, but they are the most blatant. SHF DB figures have gotten a bit lazy too…but still more worth it.
Yeah, Bandai is almost as bad as Hasbro, however, they still release quality figures at a reasonable price point around the same price as a deluxe Marvel Legend. Comparing SHF(Dragonball Super Hero and Naruto figures) to a Deluxe Marvel Legends, the quality is definitely in the SHF line. Case in point: Hasbro is THE worse offender of this shit.lol
Well said I absolutely agree!
Thank you for making this video. I agree that Hasbro is testing the waters to find out out much they can charge. This is already a very expensive hobby without Hasbro marking everything up by 1000%. The collecting community needs to make it clear to Hasbro that we are not a ATM.
Completely agree! I like the way it looks and I would have bought a second one to go with Blade but not for that price.
“The Has-bro’s”. I love it! Have u guy’s noticed that hasbro is still packing some items with the window, I.e retro wave, GI joe? So what about save the environment? They are hiding these figs, because 1 of Transformers, the inferior plastic is yellowing and 2 ML figures suck ass. They figure they can hide what’s inside (all those eternal figures) maybe more people will buy because they can’t see the suck- assidry inside the box. They show u promo picks of painless joints and when u get the shit, SURPRISE! Bucky-Cap! They ain’t slick! Or get u to pre order a 3 pack then turn around and sell it single carded. WTF?
It's like making a real deal with Mephisto, like: you want my figure? Sign here then. extra tiers? Well lets see how that goes after you sign
I totally agree they've been testing the waters for a while with the pricing and people just been buying it up I love marvel Legends it ain't that I don't have the money I'm just not paying more than their worth and the mephisto figure it's basically a reuse of the attuma bag. Great video
Dude that Mephesto looks like he's on his way to a pilates class after buying a soy chai latte, it's embarrassing. Marvel's answer to Satan and he looks like a refugee from a Paula Abdul video
lol
I've was wondering when you were going to make this a video and I completely agree. People shouldn't buy this thing.
Thank you you’ve made total sense from all sides
What if they add Darwin?
$450 easy
Hi Anthony,
You make good sense and I agree whole heartedly with your point of view.
The reason I watch your channel is your critiques are honest and factual unlike some reviewers I could name that are more like sales pitches, i.e. everything they push is fantastic and a must have.
I appreciate the role you play in projecting an honest opinion and I think you do a great job in that. Thanks for your contribution! 👍😊
Thanks for the support.
Sadly, I am pretty sure it’s going to get funded. It’s already at 60% and there are 28 days left.
We'll see. But it was higher before I recorded this.
😄A arm and a leg can't get to the finish line,it's not worth getting there...👎
