MY TOP 10 MOST DISAPPOINTING MARVEL LEGENDS OF 2023

[@UnbreakableArachnid]

Honestly the fact that hasbro still has the molds for the 12inch line makes me more upset we didn’t get a Goliath, or a Clint Barton Goliath, or a Bill Foster Goliath using the 12inch Spider-Man figure

[@DeadpoolXI1]

Maybe next year with all the Giant-Man Haslab hype, one can hope, sigh...

[@tomfin-wo5vc]

Luke Cage was definitely my most disappointing Marvel Legend of 2023. Hasbro should have gone all out as this version of Cage was the epitome of a fan demanded character. This figure never should have been allowed to go into production as is.

[@emmanuelsilvera8032]

Agreed, he never should have been released. It's Daredevil for me tho, I've wanted him for years and the knee break is so hideous you almost don't wanna pose him with his knees bent.

[@DeadpoolXI1]

@@emmanuelsilvera8032 Agree with both of you, Luke Cage is horrible as it is and that Daredevil figures could've been a great figures but it has so much flaws that it really is barely acceptable, barely.

[@JohnnyBlaze_616]

And what angers me the most about the recent Luke Cage figure, is that they made him so short. The guy is supposed be 6’6”, yet he’s on par height wise with the likes of a ‘Bucky Cap’ mold. They even said (I think it was Dan) on a Hasbro Pulse livestream back in February, that the Luke Cage would be a bigger figure to represent the character’s stature. That was a lie. I think they should re-do classic comic Luke Cage in 2024.

[@ArtistSupreme21]

When it comes to Marvel Legends Magneto’s all we can say is, “ look how they massacred my boy😢”

@@Xmanny87 you mean random from messiah complex and legacy he not really in gen hope

[@rishav-2749]

Great list, to me, the worst Legends figure has to be Tobey Maguire's Spidey. As a massive Raimi Spider-Man fan , I can't stress enough how disappointing Tobey is. What upsets me is not the not-so-great articulation scheme he has like the giant ball for the double ball peg of the neck and inverted ab crunch & diaphragm combo(I still could have accepted those given that's pretty much the standard articulation of Legends these days), it's the fact that they seemed to ruin the figure on purpose- they added texture to his suit, yet the wrong type(shows that they have the capability of adding minute details yet messed up), they made his feet huge and hands puny, gave him child bearing hips and brought down the shoulders lower than the digital renders shown off last year, the back spider logo having extra limbs sculpted on the lower torso and finally- fumbled the colors on his suit completely-people often get hurt and say "but but get the shf one if you're so picky Hasbro hater" what they don't get is it takes zero extra cost to get these improvements at $33 bucks(taking the set as a whole).. heck $25 as well. Even with that poor articulation, Tobey would have easily ben much better.

[@jamalsutton8537]

Definitely the comic Bruce Banner. I’ve been a huge Hulk fan since the animated series and he should’ve came with a mid transformation head sculpt or ripped clothes, or lab equipment . Also , he was kind of difficult to stand and had pins.

[@gaboh296]

These are the figures that broke Hasbro. I hope whoever had the bright idea of implementing these cost cutting measures to meet their bottom line is no longer with the company

[@Xmanny87]

They are probably already gone. It’s the CEO Chris Coxsucker who needs to get booted out by the board.

[@dal5x5]

Cocks is a big part of the problem.

[@scottvillett4854]

For me the big disappointment was Emma Frost....why can't we get a good Emma man it sucks.....the closest we got was the Hellfire pack and I missed out on that.....well....I live in Canada so to get It here would've cost me a fortune....but that version or the astonishing version would be great....with good proportions and good articulation and cloth goods are just a must for the White Queen would it kill Hasbro to do it right?.....'Hell to get a good Emma I'd even accept a deluxe as long as the cloth goods and extra hands and maybe a head sculpt or two but come on no more exclusives no more half assed attempts at a good figure just get 'er done.....great list Manny I love the positive energy even on a most disappointing vid......keep it up in 2024 man

[@Tom11025]

I think the ps5 miles shouldve just had a more vibrant red like in the game also i need more video game figures with unique sculpts they gave the avengers game like 2 waves with 2 build a figures (( half comic / video game)) how does the shitty game get figures when the better ones dont?

[@Xmanny87]

😂😂😂 so true man. Your guess is as good as mine. Lol

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks for your efforts on this video XManny. No one can really argue over the products you have on your list. We are similar in a sense we believe ML went "Quantity over Quality" in 2023. With that much quantity at the risk of quality it was obvious ML would disappoint a lot of collectors. The products on your list did just that for me as well. ML's work on Luke Cage is embarrassing.

[@Xmanny87]

A hundred percent bro

[@dal5x5]

I feel like The 3 Mouseketeers really need to get a grip on basic business practices when it comes to pricing.

[@chasecummings1529]

Great list bro and I 100% agree, Ronan is the only one on this list I picked up only bc I like the character and never had the baf haha but damn he was hella disappointing😅

[@Xmanny87]

Yeah bro. I take no pleasure in putting him on this list because I really like the figure. I just had to be vocal and call out Hasbro’s poor mismanagement on this.

[@furiousstylez8888]

Shit I would only pick up Ronan once he goes down to like 30. He’s slowly going down on price tho! And I’m patiently waiting lol

[@andrewtaylor940]

Has the ever been an Aunt May figure that’s not the stuff on nightmares?

[@nylok4566]

If ps5 spidey isn’t on this list I’m gonna be disappointed 😂 (I’ll be back)
Edit: this list was not disappointing
Really enjoyed the video man.
They gotta redo the advanced suit asap, hopefully they do more gamerverse villians from the first game

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks bro! Yeah I’m really hoping for the Symbiote suit and Venom in 2024. And a redo of the advanced suit 2.0 correctly this time. I’ll take the iron legs with it too if swappable.

[@nylok4566]

@@Xmanny87 the waldos Would be dope too but I just hope they don’t leave holes on the back by they most likely will.
im surprised we only have one high end version of peter tho, you’d think for such a popular version of the character more companies would try it, hope we get a new shf or a mafex

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

Great list, I appreciate focusing on 'disappointing' rather than the worst, makes for much more interesting observations.
This year I've cut back drastically when it comes to collecting mainly due to budget, Black Series I picked up very few figures, Classified Series I stopped collecting altogether, but also the Marvel Legends line just didn't have as many interesting releases to me.
Granted last year I picked up loads since it was more my tastes with the Spider-Man releases, Daredevil and more general Marvel icons like Doctor Strange, but this year with the more Avengers focused releases I'm just not as connected to comic Avengers as I am other areas of the universe. Even then the reuse and overall quality I just didn't feel was worth as much as it was in a lot of instances. I found the new Vision at my local comic shop yesterday, I'd planned to pick it up since he's one of the last main Avengers I feel I need, but the longer I looked at it the more I noticed places where the painted yellow transition to yellow plastic just looked ugly, the paint in general was sloppy in a lot of places on the ones they had and I ended up getting something else.
I suppose for disappointing I did pick up the Spider-Punk but ended up giving it to someone else, for me his chaotic design just didn't translate too well into plastic for me.
I like the new Magneto but I can see why others don't. For me the new head did enough to outdo the prior ugly 3-pack version, and I do have him posed on the shelf so the long arms I didn't even notice. Plus whilst the 90's costume is engrained in my brain I didn't read those comics growing up, so for me personally I don't mind him being less bulky, but I can appreciate that it's still not accurate.

[@megagrey]

Just one look at Ch'od had me going 'nope'. Laziness all around, from the reuse to begging for a wash or something to bring out the details.

[@Xmanny87]

Yup. Pure laziness.

[@megagrey]

@@Xmanny87 I didn't mind Random not having the exaggerated beefy look, though. Skimping out with the oddly-shaped bio-cannon and no interchangeable forearms... THAT'S also some ball-kicking laziness.

[@MaximumWarp2099]

For me it was Ch’od. I love the Starjammers and based on reviews was disappointed in the lack of effort put into this figure. With the exception of Corsair I also hated the wave he came in and in general I hate how BAFs are issued. A bunch of figures I don’t want to get one I do. I wish they would release BAF waves where the characters are related in some way to the actual BAF. So a Starjammers wave would have been nice and I would have bought all of them. Say if they released Raza, Hepzibah, Lilandra, D’Ken, Starjammers Havok and Polaris, along with Corsair. That would have been a killer wave that I would have thrown down money for.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Great job. Completely agree with you! The super adaptoid is insanity!

[@Xmanny87]

It really is!

[@averageyoutubecommenter1760]

I could see us getting the classic Random as a Build-A-Figure down the line, possibly on the Caliban body.

[@Meathook49]

I got Ronan for standard legends price on Amazon Prime Days sale. I'm happy with it.
I know Super Adaptoid is accurate but I hate the crazy amount of green.
I prefer bald Luke Cage.
Emma was ok. Needed a soft goods cloak.
I liked Random. He has less ass than Hank Hill, but I don't hate the figure.
97 Magneto was too short, but not as short as I thought he would be.
Rose and Tarantula were just terrible.
I feel 50/50 about Ch'od.
Idk Gamervetse figures.

[@Xmanny87]

Gotcha. Yeah a lot of what you said I agree with.

[@graefx]

Great list. Im glad I got Ronan on Amazon clearance. Definitely wasnt worth full price. Really a symptom of a pervasive problem in Hasbro in general, not just their figures. The prices are out of control.
Vulcan would have been better for Magneto, Sentry would have been my vote, but he needs a bespoke sculpt and I domt know how they keep dropping the ball when they do new tooling. Its those type of decisions why Hasbro is being passed by every other collectible figure manufacture in the price range.

[@Xmanny87]

Great points man

[@ryanlevack9361]

Your comments on random and magneto basically sums up my problem with recent marvel legends. They really need more heroic proportions. Stop trying to make them look like real physics.

[@Xmanny87]

Exactly. We need them a little more stylized.

[@j.j.hector736]

10:02 Tarantula’s bandana wasn’t even blue in the source material, It supposed to black clearly showed by the spider symbol having the same blue lighting, it’s one of those mistakes that just doesn’t improve

[@user-xn4zy6eq9c]

When are you going to do a collection video

[@arianortizponce4042]

In my case, Blade Marvel Knights wave and the classic Ant Man figure are very dissapointing

[@Xmanny87]

There are things I like about that blade but would’ve preferred him with gloves and he can’t put his arms all the way down.

[@TheMuscleMageReviews]

I’d say Blade was the most overrated figure of the year. I bought him based on everyone else’s hype and he’s ok? Definitely a missed opportunity.

[@thecollector616]

You broke my heart with Ronan but your absolutely right that price was nuts but i still love that fig mad i paid full orice but it is what it is

[@Xmanny87]

Trust me, it hurt me because the figure is amazing. Nothing is wrong with the figure. I have no beef with it. To me, it comes down to how piss poorly mismanaged it was by Hasbro. My beef is with Hasbro’s management.

I don't know jack about the Spider-Man game and that may be why I don't share your hate for the figures. The missing paint on the heel is the worse part, I purchased mine loose and at a discount so the price didn't pinch me.

[@Crazykix85]

That Luke Cage shirt could’ve been an easy fix if hasbro would just paint the exposed body sections to match the color of the shirt. That’s something I’ve always thought about every time I see a hasbro figure with shirt/jacket/coat overlays. It’s an eyesore whenever the arms are raised and expose the underlaying skin tones. Would it kill them to just paint those sections?

[@NinJa-qr1sp]

Mafex needs to do Advanced Suit Spidey and it better come with a spider bot.

The Rose - quite a simple and secondary character. No particular interest ..i passed.
Tarantula- same as above. Not one of Spidey's most famous foes..i passed.
Ch'od - i passed because i m not a big fan of the character and buying 6 figures with no interest just to get it ? No ...
Spiderman PS5 .. passed too ..too many spidermen

Hard list to make, as I don't buy all Legends, so the ones I do get, I really want. Aside from some articulation issues and lack of accessories, I'm pretty happy with what I got this year, so this list is just based on ones which weren't quite as good as others. The only figure I absolutely didn't care a bit about was Aunt May, from the Doc Ock 2-pack.
10) Red Skull (What If... could have used a gun, of some sort... maybe some alternate hands)
9) Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (Puff Adder BAF... could have used an alternate head and a gun)
8) Tarantula (Spider-Man Retro... Bandana should have been black)
7) Ultron (Cassie Lang BAF... didn't like the plastic they used... could have used more accessories)
6) Kraven the Hunter (Spider-Man Retro... would have liked an alternate head)
5) Black Widow (Infinity Saga... using the bad female buck, instead of the nice new one)
4) Black Knight (Sersi 2-pack... face looks weird, legs are a bit wonky, and don't like the sword)
3) Baron Karl Mordo (Multiverse of Madness... got him for my wife... not fussed about him)
2) Ravager Thor (Love and Thunder... got him for my wife... not fussed about him)
1) Aunt May (Doc Ock 2-pack... don't give two shits about this figure)
