Nice review, skellie! I had the good fortune to be tapped by Boss Fight Studio to illustrate the packaging art on PHANTOM, JULIE WALKER PHANTOM, FLASH GORDON and MING, and I have to say that Boss Fight runs a tight ship! When I got my comp Phantom figures in from them, I was blown away by the look and feel of this toy. The figure looks great! I've been a fan of Boss Fight long before I ever began freelancing with them, because they do incredible work! The details on this Phantom figure are absolutely amazing--especial at this 4" scale--and the articulation is just so slick and smooth! You can really get Phantom into a lot of cool heroic poses! I'm incredibly happy how the packaging looks on the whole as well, and I think BFS is producing some of the best action figures that are available today. They've just put their 6" HACKS Skeleton figures up for pre-order, and I believe I may also be illustrating those. Their 4" Skeletons are incredible, so at 6", these new figs are going to be unreal I think!
Awesome stuff! Great art work mate. Do you have an Instagram page? Really pleased with Boss Fight Studio, they definitely got it right with the Phantom. I've got movie Flash in vest on preorder too. I recently got both Court of the Dead figures and they're brilliant. I'll be doing a review of them at some point. Loving the look of all the 6" skelly's. Hopefully I'll be able to check out your artwork in them too! Thanks for checking the vid, really appreciate it! 💀
Can you talk them into doing Hero Hacks for Mandrake?
@@dubuyajay9964 I'm only a freelance artist who works with them on packaging, but I'll inquire about that! I'd also enjoy getting a Mandrake figure from them! It would be a blast drawing the packaging for such a figure also!
Mandrake would be awesome! I'd love it if Boss Fight did the whole DOE crew. Not sure if the rights they acquired extends that far though
@@SkellywagsTV That might be the case. It seems to me that they wouldn't have missed out on doing Defenders of the Earth if they had the rights to do so. Perhaps NECA has exclusive rights to do DOE figures. That would make sense. FLASH GORDON and PHANTOM properties that they are doing have been based on comic strip versions. In the case of Flash Gordon, Boss Fight is also doing figures for the 1980 film, FLASH GORDON, also. DOE, though, I've heard nothing about, so I'm betting that's all in NECA's basket. Boss Fight does have TARZAN and ZORRO lines, which is great. My hope is that they someday get license to do LONE RANGER licensing. I'd love to draw some packaging featuring those characters!
That new body really adds more posing.
Yes, definitely! Makes such a difference
Very Nice I have an older Boss Fight coming in soon. Boss fight is great especially their Accessories. Great vid as always
BFS was the first 1/18 line I bought that had replaceable armour parts etc. The new improvements will definitely make me keep more of a closer eye on BFS. Which fig did you pick up, from their Zombie stuff, Vitruvian, Hero?
@@SkellywagsTV I snatched up the Vitruvian Samhain. ^_^ looks like Kratos LOL
Ah yeah, had my eye on that one before too. Can't go wrong with that God of War look
Awesome review you nail it once again !!!!
Thanks fella! Always appreciate the support mate
Good review, thank you. Now I'm going to have to check the Boss Fight Flash Gordon figures to see if they have the updated bucks.
Cheers BRB! So, the previously released Flash in T-shirt is the old buck articulation from what I remember. I don't know if they'll be updating that. But the as yet to be released Flash in vest and retro Flash, I believe have the updated articulation. I remember including pics in one of the 1/18 news. I'm looking to get Flash in vest, Ming and probably Timothy Dalton.
Striped panties..😂😂😂 I wasn't going to get this figure but.......thanks to you and your Awesome video!I need this plastic crack!😤 Love the guns.💀
Haha he's plastic crack you never knew you wanted! I'm looking out for Flash in vest now 💀
Man I really really want my Boba Fett to come in. Your last couple videos are giving me that itch. Phantom looks really good, but yeah i could do with out the panties. I know the comic was like that but i liked the defenders all purple. I still want boss fight to make a bigger barbarian buck, but I have a feeling thats not going to happen. Thanks for the vid buddy! You guys have a great weekend!
Oh damn, you're still waiting on Fett. The TVC release is so random. Some places have and others don't. I could only find Ahsoka on one site online in the UK. I preordered somewhere else, but can't remember where lol I would love if BFS did Defenders of the Earth versions. At some point they should definitely do different body types. It's the long May day weekend for us, and my daughter turns 3 on Monday. Got plans with the in-laws tomorrow and the zoo on Sunday. Fun times! Hope you enjoy yours Gunnar
@@SkellywagsTV have fun!! yeah we r busy here also, my son has prom tomorrow and my daughter turns 16 on sunday. Its all going too fast!!!lol
Oh wow! It's all kicking off lol
Great review. I'm very impressed with the new buck. I have two Flash Gordon figures and a Ming on pre-order.
A while back I bought a few of Boss Fight's Greek figures, and some of them came apart at the upper body. I've kept the rest Mint in Box. Now I'm eager for the new figures.
Oohh nice! Which Flash did you get? I was thinking of getting vest Movie Flash. Ming would be a good one to get for a big bad actually. It's worth keeping BFS, they appreciate in value over time. I preordered the Court of the Dead figures from BBTS, hoping they have the improved articulation.
That came out nice! I can’t wait for umbrella academy.😀
Yeah, better than expected! Got me hyped for Umbrella Academy more now
Nice review as always, Skelly! Dig the new improvements on the buck--looking forward to grabbing one down the way.
P.S. What's a good spot to unload Acid Rain figs? My Phantom Teams may need to find a new home.
Cheers Sir Leon! I'm definitely on the BFS lookout, they're on my radar again, more so than before.
The IG community is usually good. However, collectors tend to expect more of a deal. You'll probably be able to shift them for more on ebay
@@SkellywagsTV Good to know. Not looking to gouge anyone--thinking $175 USD for both.
I think 10 is plenty, tyvm.
HAHAHAHA
Fairly good review: ... You could have/ should have done a little research as to who this Great Character is.
... It was your big failure...!! It is a GREAT Figure... from Boss Fight.!! 5 Stars from me.!!
The whole Hero H.A.C.K.S. line seems to be a real Winner...!!
Cheers mate! Lol yeah, I definitely need to find out more. I watched a few UA-cam videos beforehand, but decided to let the bio on the package do the talking. I didn't know that he doesn't have any powers. Is the Defenders of the Earth Phantom part of canon? I couldn't find any info on that. The figure is great, the best I've seen from Boss Fight in a while.
Figure looks more 1/12 than 1/18 size.
Edit: Nevermind/sorry. He looks 1/18 once you put him in your hands. Sure is tall for that scale though.
That's a testament to how good the musculature on the buck is. It looks very impressive in person. The Phantom design really works well with the Boss Fight body
@@SkellywagsTV Just got both male Phantoms and comic (not movie) Flash Gordon. They go great with my GI Joes and other 1/18 figures. Trying to find the other Phantoms, Gordon's, Tarzan and Jane, etc...
Nice! I just got movie Flash Gordon in vest shipped from BBTS. They also have Tarzan. Go check it out with my link, just use the search bit.ly/3FFTmKC
@@SkellywagsTV Say, how well does Pulp Gordon hold the two movie Gordon's football (grenade?), rifle, and sword?
I don't have pulp Gordon fella. He looks great though! I've got movie vest Flash still en route from BBTS.
Meh Neca ones are MUCH better.
That may be so, but they're not 1/18! At some point I may pick up one of the Neca Phantom's IF I can find it. Those bad boys are sold out wherever I look!
@@SkellywagsTV I was lucky enough to snag a pre-order on Dorkside Toys for the new one coming out and I managed to get the Defenders of the Earth one too when that came out. I MIGHT sell that ones once I get the more classic one from Neca,
@@ronaldchristian4313 I can only find the 3 pack sets in the UK, which is a bit much to pay when I only want the one figure
@@SkellywagsTV Got ya.
Speak for yourself. Exceptional molding, detail, paint, and articulation (once you loosen the joints up.)
What does "boss" mean? Its a manager not a fighter. Who came up with that stupid term?
Hmmm never thought about that way lol
You never heard of Boss Fights in video games?
@@dubuyajay9964 lol true
@@dubuyajay9964 nope. Must be a foreigner term. We don't use that here
