    Q of the Day: The more realistic facial features have been a net positive for me. I do get where you’re coming from in terms of it being a little distracting at times, but I like how clean and consistent they tend to be. As far as the figure itself, I like to say that the standards I hold Hasbro to are the ones they set themselves, and we all know that they’re capable of much better. I think the problem is that Hasbro Marvel Legends has become a sweat shop that’s just trying to turn out as much product as possible, and yes, a lot of that is on us. I continue to believe that the problem started with retro cards, fan channel exclusives, deluxe figures, etc. When it was just conventional retail waves, there were still good figures and bad figures, but I think there was more consistency overall. Same ceilings, but higher floors than what we’ve got now.

      The other issue is that a lot of older collectors are getting pretty close to meeting their collection needs, but Hasbro has to keep them on the hook long-term. That's why we end up with a lot of figures that are missing crucial accessories, or coming out on outdated bucks, or have an obscure costume or inaccurate costume details. They want you to constantly be updating your collection with better figures rather than being satisfied with what you already have.
      That's why the Black Widow they released this year is so shocking. It has a complete assortment of accessories, modern articulation and you can even cover multiple eras and looks with the different heads. You basically won't need another Black Widow figure, at least not for a very long time.

    Amazing that only you pointed out all the flaws that other reviewers just glossed over or pretended it wasn’t a problem.
    As always my favorite reviewer and thanx for your objective critique for Bucky Cap.

    These exclusives only make it harder for collectors to find the figures, especially overseas collectors such as myself. We already pay more for figures, but it's even worse when your only option is buying them in the secondary market, when the price is solely decided by the seller. I can't believe what they're charging for Marvel Legends nowadays

    2:20 Q of the Day: Exclusives to me are odd coming from someone living in the UK. Some US store exclusives get a general release here but at a slightly raised price, which I'm okay with since at least they're easy to find, but others will get basically no release here whatsoever. Lately I've found that to be the case with Target stuff, weirdly that wasn't the case a couple years back with the earlier G.I. Joe Classified releases, they were relatively easy to find, but this year I've noticed Marvel Legends and Mcfarlane DC Multiverse exclusives are basically non existent here from what I've seen, not sure if that's the case with NECA stuff too.
    Either way I agree that if something is harder to get it should be slightly more niche, not something everyone is going to want, like you said a colour variant is the way to go for that sort of thing.

    If you just look at this figure alone, the head size seems good enough since that's generally the kind of proportion we've been getting for the past decade.
    But then you pull out the old Bucky Cap figure side by side and the head is just waaaaay too big to be superhero-esque. We've just been conditioned by modern ML figures to expect "generally fit gymgoer" physiques, as opposed to true superhero physiques.

    • @arthurchen6464
      @arthurchen6464 Рік тому +5

      What you fail to understand Anthony, is that in these Hasbro meetings, they're not talking about articulations or sculpt. They're talking about marketing and profit and cost. This is not a company run by artists and collectors and toy enthusiasts. This isn't NECA or Valaverse or Jada.
      They. Don't. Care.
      The employees may care, but they also make mistakes and come up with ideas that don't work (like the belt) that they may think is an improvement, but once implemented, sucked. Then they push the product out, because no chance those in charge allows for changes.

They won't exactly phrase it like that, but you hear them constantly talk about the "budget".

    I don't get the appeal of the pinless joints. With Hasbro, at least. They don't look THAT much better. Imo it's caused more issues with fused joints and over time they get extremely loose. And they mostly look hideous, e.g. the Red Skull and Dormammu bodies.
    Pins were never a problem. Their lack of care and quality are the real problems.

    0:51 In the render images the boots are centered. Boot cuffs are evenly spaced around the calves. 2:54 On the figure they're slightly off to one side. There's more of the cuffs on the outside than the inside. The sculpt of the figure's right upper boot is the same sculpt as the render's left upper boot. I'm pretty sure they put the figure's upper boot parts on the wrong sides.

    Exclusives are generally just bad for the hobby. They're awful for consumers and the FOMO factor results in a lot of people wasting money on mediocre figures. Anecdotally speaking, if a line has too many hard to come by exclusives (or just figures in general) it just causes me to lose interest. I feel a lot better about my figures when I don't have to jump through hoops to get them.
    I don't mind Fan Channel stuff though, since the companies that stock that stuff actually seem to care about having enough stock to go around.

    Is it me or for the past year or so, the only things Hasbro made were reused bodies, slight modifications, repaints, re-releases etc. Barely ANYTHING new or interesting. And that's coming from a Marvel fan boy. The last really cool figure I bought was the Armored Daredevil from Spiderman classics wave, which was one of the last cool wave for the past 2 years. What is happening? Economy may be going down the drain, but why not... Just opt for quality over quantity. What's the point of releasing peg warmers. I'd rather have 10 high quality figures a year than a 100.

    QOTD, I do not like Paul Harding's headsculpts. I much prefer Rene or Mayshelf's style.
    I don't think Paul did Buckys head (which is probably why it doesn't bother me) but Paul has done heads like 60th Hulk, 60th Tony Stark, or Bonebreaker Sabretooth.
    Reason I don't like his sculpts is exaclty what you said, he packs WAY too much detail in the head. He goes nuts with the wrinkles and expression, and it doesn't match the style of the comicy bodies that the heads are going on. There's so much more detail sculpted in to the head, than the rest of the body combined and it just looks off. It looks like it was sculpted by 2 totally different people, because it was.
    Paul is talented, he just needs to tone down the wrinkles, expression, and detail which is too much for a 1/12th figure and it makes it look worse than it should

    Hasbro has a habit of re-releasing exclusives on a “retro” cardback often with less accessories for the same price. So unless you’re impatient, just wait 6 months and don’t pay secondary market prices.
    Also I love when Hasbro decides to include Nerf guns Vs when they include realistic guns with their figures. Deadpool and Bob got real guns, and Bucky Cap got Nerf. It even extends to the GI Joe line. Spirit got a 1911 and SGT. Slaughter got a Nerf rifle.

    I think it's so weird that Marvel Legends is such a struggle with Hasbro. When many of their other "more collector oriented lines that kids can still get too" products like G.I. Joe Classified, Transformers Studio Series & Legacy, Power Rangers Lightning collection are doing pretty good in my opinion. Transformers being the best of all of them. The amount of articulation they pack into a figure that actually has to turn into a car is commendable. And Marvel Legends can't pack the same articulation into a figure that doesn't have to turn into a car? It's a little ridiculous if you ask me.
