25:24 An interesting thing about the VHS Goblin Osborn head is that the sculptor says it's supposed to be Harry. Makes me think that Hasbro initially wanted this Goblin to be Harry, but then changed their mind and marketed the figure as Norman.
xcorpeo, this and the Shield 3-pack were the big recent wants for me. One of my favorite waves was the Bring on the Bad Guys . This trio speaks of the need of villains in Marvel Legends. Updated parts and positive changes in accessory storage and adding soft goods was welcome. Your knowledge of customizing and problem solving is remarkable. The comparisons were expansive. Incredible review.✌️
Doctor Doom should have had an alternate disfigured head sculpture and the Doom bots should have been an army builder set. Taskmaster should have had an unmasked alternate head with him wearing his sunshades just like on the box. We also need a new green dress suit Norman Osborne maybe even an alternate angry Norman Osborne headsculpt similar looking to the Green Goblin except for the pointed ears in his eyes being yellow.
Awesome review! I appreciate the close-ups and the mod suggestions. Unfortunately, I think I'll be passing on this set for many reasons. Since it's impossible to army build doomboots using this set, that means it will likely be rereleased eventually. Moreover, all three figures have drawbacks that I know Hasbro will improve on in a single release (Taskmaster with a soft cape, Iron Patriot with a more accurate deco, and, of course, another Doom to ride on the hype of the recent RDJ news) thought I might jump on Taskmaster if I get the chance to get it individually.
I don't care for Iron Patriot because of reasons, But I do like Doctor Doom who looks cool with a cloth goods cape and I like the more choices of accessories for Tony Masters aka the Taskmaster, I may not have this dope 3 pack, But very great review on it Xcorpeo.
I just got The Cabal a couple days ago & im VERY happy with it..& i believe that the white being swapped for silver actually looks BETTER Btw where did you get the soft goods for the Super Skrull wave Dr Doom? Anyways great video brother..im looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
I got the cape and tunic on Taobao from separate sellers hence the color mismatch 😂 there should be a listing on Aliexpress for the tunic, but the cape is sold out
The head is actually a correct size. They make everyone w huge heads... there heads need to be like 10 percent smaller across the board mostly. Plus he is a man in a suit of armor... if it was the sized to fit the armor as if that's his body size it would look ridiculous
It’s been awhile but I like all these figs my set will be in today and I am stoked the dark avengers storyline was wonderful I hope we one day get that moonstone miss marvel. I like iron patriot a lot i hope when I have mine the vibrant colors won’t detract from my liking of it. I like the Norman head from the vhs two pack but I don’t know
@@xcorpeo the set came in and the only issue I have is the iron patriot head is a tight fit but for my thoughts he is fantastic the other two are great too it is nice to have an updated taskmaster and the doom is nice too I like the super skrull one better but this is a nice alternative and he can sit on a throne
These look pretty good, but I have qualms with them. Doom should be carrying a broom handled Mauser instead of a Luger. Red Skull carries a Luger. I prefer Taskmaster's original George Perez mask from his debut in the Avengers. It wasn't full-blown Skeletor like this modern look. It was more unique, and I prefer that to just the plain skull look. I also think the head on this looks too big and a little too wide. I think I just prefer an actual original, classic looking Taskmaster more.
Very valid point and definitely a better choice for the Perez Taskmaster since it's the classic outfit. Having two skeletal head sculpts (the other being the Doombot) in the same set also feels a bit odd.
@@xcorpeo Yes, and like you mentioned it's also odd to see one character get a cloth cape, but another in the same set have the old rubber cape. A lot of odd choices being made here. I think it's a set worth having, but I wish it was a bit better on the whole.
@@lostonwallace1396 TBH I'm not satisfied with Dr Doom's cape either. Jada toys has leapfrogged this flimsy cape stage altogether, providing wired capes with their street fighter line
@@xcorpeo Doom also needs a wider cape so you can do the shoulder drape. Much room for improvement, but for Hasbro it is a step in the right direction. They just need more steps forward.
For a 3 pack Doom is seriously lacking. Dull silver plastic, no paint on the straps And clasps by themselves looks bad. I'llbe swapping parts with one of the 3 super skrull Dooms i have.
Greats swaps and mods. Nice compares too. Awesome review vid overall.

Thank you! Villain packs and villain waves are always welcome 😈
Perfect timing. Side note, RDJ being doom is such a bad choice 😭😭🙏
The reveal was over-dramatic, and I'm not sure how the studios are gonna convince us Tony Stark becomes Victor Von Doom
@@xcorpeoI mean their is a what if comic where they switch bodies , they could try that?
Might be a different multiverse
@@autosavedif the bodies switch then that makes sense
He doesn’t have to be Tony anything, he could just be a great doom, Johnny storm isn’t a cap variant so why should doom be
Doctor Doom should have had an alternate disfigured head sculpture and the Doom bots should have been an army builder set.
Taskmaster should have had an unmasked alternate head with him wearing his sunshades just like on the box.

Any Doom is good Doom, and the taskmaster new head is pretty much perfect. Except hascrap should be using ball joints for the torso.😂❤
omg. nice unboxing- 😌

Is it me, or did they change the helmet sculpt on the Iron Patriot from the sample Robo reviewed too?
From a quick rewatch, I don't think so. Silver/grey plastic is now just changed to white
The Iron Patriot does look better with the modifications. I think I'm going to paint mine with a metallic blue to tone the dark blue armor parts.
I just got The Cabal a couple days ago & im VERY happy with it..& i believe that the white being swapped for silver actually looks BETTER

Appreciate the review
Great review, thanks!
A first-rate review of the Cabal set!
Is the quiver removable on TM? Curious if it would be possible to somehow connect it to a fabric cape
It's pegged and glued into the cape. But definitely possible to pry it off
I have a wired cape from the last taskmaster release I bought years back I will put on this update
Yeah u could but gotta find a way to integrate the new quiver and bow
The head is actually a correct size. They make everyone w huge heads... there heads need to be like 10 percent smaller across the board mostly. Plus he is a man in a suit of armor... if it was the sized to fit the armor as if that's his body size it would look ridiculous
Proportionally it's small against the armor, but it's fine, it's supposed to be
So is this a American Amazon exclusive? I haven’t seen this set on the Canada website at all
Ordered this set and like th5e Doom and Taskmaster. Iron Patriot looks too much like a Happy Meal toy. Might have to panel line it, like you did.
It’s been awhile but I like all these figs my set will be in today and I am stoked the dark avengers storyline was wonderful I hope we one day get that moonstone miss marvel. I like iron patriot a lot i hope when I have mine the vibrant colors won’t detract from my liking of it. I like the Norman head from the vhs two pack but I don’t know
Have fun with the set!

Which one do you think is better out of the two Dr Dooms I'm trying to get a Doom figure but I'm stuck on what i should get.
If u like the old skool mask, cloth cape, Doombot head, get this one.
Is it possible to put a Robert Downey Jr head on Doctor Doom and a Willem Dafoe head on Iron Patriot?
I don't buy much MCU so don't have those latest Willem and RDJ head sculpts

The mod fornthe torso works for iron man?
Yep ua-cam.com/users/shortssAJwOi-gQ4Q?feature=share
That’s a far stretch on the white part of iron patriot.
For a 3 pack Doom is seriously lacking. Dull silver plastic, no paint on the straps And clasps by themselves looks bad. I'llbe swapping parts with one of the 3 super skrull Dooms i have.
My friend already did a heat pop and swap with the Doom armor parts so it's entirely possible
It may just be me but I prefer the iron patriot being white over the silver
Personal preference. I don't hate, but I'd prefer if it was a more pearlescent white
Garbage review
