I agree, this wave feels kinda half-finished. Almost every figure feels like they're just missing something and are the bare minimum for a Marvel Legend. Ch'od needs his gun and more paint, Cyclops has no non-smoking head, Emma has no diamond parts, Monet has no Penance parts, Chamber could use a blasting head, Fang could've had a Wolverine head, Quentin really needs a more expressive head, and everyone could use more hands if they couldn't think of anything else. It feels like Corsair is the only *complete* figure here.
I should have videoed that the visor FX is removable
And you can fit an older blast fX piece in there😊
@@markabnettcomics that's good at least. It should still come with its own accessories and not need other figures', but it's something.
Also, Quentin is missing the lines on his legs.
Yeah lots of easy, sloppy mistakes that could have been fixed….. from @markabbnett ;)
"You come here for a little background noise while doing your laundry..."
I was so shocked at this insinuation that I almost knocked over my basket of clean clothes!
Lol I thought you were about to say you’re shocked at the insinuation you do laundry! :)
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Bwhaha! Holy Potatoes!
Yeah, things have been pretty under par lately. I've only been buying on clearance just to feel like I'm getting a fair value. If Ch'od were issued in a deluxe format, he would run close to $40.00. Now compare him to the Marvel Select Beta Ray Bill, which ran $29.99. What a difference, right?
That’s a great example!
You’re right Dave, it’s weird reviewing figures you don’t have. I can respect your honesty in just wanting the clicks though.
Is not just the clicks (I hope you can see) I genuinely love the process.
Corsair really should have had the gem things on his gloves. Him activating them was how he got his guns to appear. Well, 1 gun in this case...
Yeah that’s a lack of effort there
I was not disappointed at that Corsair joke Dave. Bravo!
Lol I thank you!
I'm a simple man. I see a streets of rage 2 reference, i thumbs up and comment.
That’s all the sign of quality you need!
Thank you for speaking up for the masses.....
My pleasure! :)
Sorry to correct you, but Fang is not a member of the Starjammers. He's Shi'Ar Imperial Guard. He's primarily known for being the guy both Wolverines (Logan and X-23) have robbed for clothing :)
Ah yes I think I corrected myself there
I replayed the Corsair intro part four times and literally laughed out loud each time. Dude, that was brilliant!
Lol occasionally I crack a good joke! :)
Hard agree. Ch'od feels so lazy, as if Hasbro figured customizers could just paint washes and extra details themselves if they're not happy. I've got the Hellfire boxset Emma so I'm good there. The Generation X uniform sculpt looks good, but I doubt Hasbro'll do anything daring with it like Husk showing off her morphing powers. And there's so many X-chicks I'm STILL waiting for, like Marrow, Pixie, Cecilia Reyes and Rachel Summers!
I’d love to see Marrow
I need the Emma, Scott and Corsair from this wave but dammit you might have talked me into Chamber. However big question Davestar, are you gonna replace that Select Silver Centurion Iron Man with a nice shiny Mezco one?
Ah I’m very happy with my Select. That dude is a big chunky colorful beast!
His inaccuracies towards his fins and his incorrect fingers bother me more the the reuse!! I dont mind reuse as long as it works!!! This doesn't!
Agree 💯 %
Don't worry, Hasbro will release the comic accurate Deluxe figure separately for $60.
Yeah it needs to make sense
@@aaroneaston8899 and I'll sell my old baf and buy it when they do!!🤷♂️
Genuinely if the figures were a few bucks cheaper, the wave would be decent, i actually like alot of the figures but the price is keeping me from getting them
Yeah the extra pennies just tip the scale in to ‘not worth it.’
They should make new big fishy/lizard ish body for Ch'od, they can also use that later for new comic abomination, Immortal Abomination, A-Bomb etc and I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Opportunity wasted, Hasbro...
Yeah that uses
I respect that you didn't buy the figures. Some tubers bash a wave but still buy every figure. they aren't going to change if people still buy it.
I got in to the habit of buying them for reviews and then selling them afterwards.
Compare this baf to venompool or sugarman and you can see the overall not give a damn no paint approach they're taking now
Completely agree
My love for Gen-X means I'll have to get Chamber and Monet. I would have liked the Quinun figure, but I think I'll wait to see if they ever do a fig with his more typical design.
Yeah Gen X is fun to see
(8:25) actually, here in the States, GameStop was SUPPOSED to have been giving customers that bought Legends figures a 3 pack of cards with each figure purchase. Instead most employees forgot or “forgot” to and they ended up being taken by employees mostly. I got ONE pack before they were discontinued :(
Ah what a scam!
I love your reviews! thank you DMB!
You’re welcome brother!
Well done Dave you’ve finally brought to life the Anti-Shill - Moaning about figures you haven’t even bought.
Lol always innovating over here! :)
While I get the criticism of "how can you review something you don't own" because opinions can change wildly depending on if you have the figure in hand or not, I gotta respect that you stick to your guns and refrain from supporting Hasbro unlike other reviewers who bitch and complain and still buy the product.
Thanks man. I try not to have any bias. I just call em like I see em.
(13:47) hoping they continue the AOA figures. That’s my MAIN team I’m collecting. So far have both waves. It was the first AOA wave that got me hooked on Legends
I’d love to see more AOA.
Definetly gonna have to do the waiting game and hopefully get them when they go on the peg warmer price in Burlington Coat Factory or Ollies. Shit I recently got the whole wave of The Eternals for $30 👑♥️♥️ Thank you Hasbro/Disney/Marvel for pumping out the 🗑 💯 Saving my money 💰
Sometimes patience saves a lot of money!
I’m aware that M did not have the Penance conversion ability during her time in the Og Gen X costume . But the carnage hand adds a bit more to her
And it works so well!
I'm loving the Dame Edna pink glasses on the Omega "pronoun" figure... Represent!!
Also liking that plastic baboon butt....
"Build-a-Chode" wave? Hey Dave!!
That’s right possum!
I almost got camber to customize him into a Eddie Brock. But I got rid on the head I was going to use just before it was shown.
Hmm maybe a little too slim for Eddie. (He’s a meat head!)
I'd love collector cards. I'm such a mark for stuff like that. I personally like this wave inaccurate Ch'od and all. But I do very much agree that there's something to be said for going above and beyond the expectations of the assignment. Does seem pretty basic. Problem why I've only picked up Chamber. None of these really blow my hair back.
Yeah it feels more bare minimum then above and beyond
Hey as long as you can get reviews out I’m good with it.
That’s good enough for me!
The BAF is kind of insulting. The good BAF's are being put out as "deluxe" figures. I like the Emma Frost, other than that might get the rest of the wave on clearance.
Yeah this feels like a cheaper option
(7:13) what really irks me isn’t so much the outfit for kid Omega, but that they couldn’t be bothered to even paint on the lines on his legs!! WTF HASBRO!!! It COULD have been at least ACCURATE to the comic outfit with those extra leg lines, but nope!! Had to cut corners and not spend the little extra on the lines on his legs.. so disappointing
Yeah I noticed that too!
Man its really dissapointing,
Ive noticed myself getting less and less figures from legends waves, i have only completed one baf since this time last year and that was the controller and that was only because someone bought me a coupple of the figures as a christmas gift
(This was that wave that people got charged early by hasbro pulse if you remember)
An example of my apathy is this wave, i only have one cyclops figure, i don't have a figure of every other character in this wave yet i barely wanted any of this wave i only want corsair to complete the summers family
Yeah I’d not like the days when I used to jump at all the comic ones
2 things... Fang is too tall to kitbash Wolverine in the Fang costume. The puff of smoke and red strip in Cyclops' visor can peel out.
Ah good points
😂😂😂 you crack me up!!!👍
Thanks brother!
I legit only care about Corsair because of his stache. Yeah that's pretty much it.
That’s good enough for me!
gonna get them when amazon has them at a sale price..then i will custom the ones i am keeping.....wish there was more but i find this wave better than any of the AOA waves....not the BaFs...just the waves....AoA colossus was sick..so was sugarman
Always look out for sales!
2:06 truth be told. 🤣👍🏼
Where’s the lie? :)
👏😂👍 Crack on Dave 🎉 Also: UA-camr DCSG81 is visiting Japan soon to do some toy hunting...Please do a Marvel/DC style Collaboration with him 🙏 it would be the most epic Tokyo Toy hunt EVER 😀
Oh yeah he’s got a cool channel
I agree. This wave feels more like a splash... The individual figures are just OK overall and the BaF is a disappointment. I think the Fang figure's a bit bigger/taller than it should be since I think the character is around Wolverine's size (hence Wolverine being able to "acquire" his costume)... In addition to being a bit meh, I believe the Emma Frost has limited articulation in the shoulders due to that cape/cloak nudging her more into the disappointing category. The only ones I'm planning to get are Corsair, Monet, Chamber, and possibly Cyclops. Really hoping we get the rest of the Gen-X team sooner rather than later/never...
Hopefully they’ll continue with Gen X!
Chamber da best one?!? What u smoking brotha!
Lol hey I said what I said! :)
Fang needs a closed snarling face
That’s be a nice addition
Only pre ordered 2 of this wave. And Probably didn't need those 2 either.
Yeah they’re easy to skip
How does Chamber eat food?
Very carefully
I didn't wanna see you feel your Chod anyway dude!
Fair
Unfortunately, when it comes to saying positive vs negative things on the Internet, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. But it's still nice having a person I actually trust to say what they think, regardless of the backlash in either direction. Keep it up man, you're good. Hope it doesn't get too you too much.
I’ll stick with the honestly and let the cards fall where they may
I think condom cyclops looks cool with the trench coat. also any cyclops with a effect on the vissor is a dud for me.
I am pretty sure you can remove the effect from his visor. They even painted it red on the inside, however obviously it's going to look slightly hollow without it.
Yeah it would be fun to have a trench coat version like multiple man
I would give you a whole box of plastic rings if you like
That’s kind of you man. I’m all set and sorted!
I’m not unreasonable, Hasbro. I see prices going up everywhere. You have to charge more for the same quality. I get it. But charging more for significantly less quality? C’mon, Hasbro. That’s not how you hustle people! You have to make them believe they’re winning or at least have a chance to win before you pull the rug out from under them and take their money. You don’t say “This is a game you can’t possibly win, and it ends with us taking your money, but it’s still good fun!”
Lol that definitely seems to be the sentiment!
I actually bought this wave completely. First time i ever did that. It looked that good. Then i got it and....
......
.....
I absolutely love it.
That’s awesome man
Yo David do you live in Osaka Japan me and my dad are going to visit soon
Yeah buddy I live here!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour cool do you recommend any places or places to buy marvel legends
Go to Nara and feed the street deer!
I could not be more disappointed in the Quentin Quire. I wanted the Grant Morrison version sooooo bad 💔
Your criticisms are completely fair and valid. This is an extremely lazy and uninspired wave brought to you by HalfBros.
I’m glad we’re off the same mind Cole!
Spit all over me Dave lol! Getting Monet to customize her.
Ha! I’ll remember that!
Come on over to the McFarland dark side Dave we get lots of new sculpture and texture to our figures and collector cards come on you know you want to. Hahahahaha have a good day brother really enjoyed the live stream at comicon
I would, but…..the rubber diapers brother. The rubber diapers!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour lol I hear you but doesn't mafex or mezco use the same type thing not sure just wondering I thought I seen on video
It’s a BS wave, your 100% correct Dave, hence why no buy
Serious Question, did you hook up with Sailor moon from other day ? You better have
Lol ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour lyrics from Fairy boots Black sabbath ? Great track anyway
Fang and Chamber were the only ones that really interested me. M is a character I like, but the head sculpt was awful.
I think the M looks ok but no more than that.
A lot of people was wanting and waiting so long for Chod and Hasbro says “here this will shut em up” and they throw this abomination reused garbage at us…. I quit collecting Hasbro Legends a long time ago and I don’t regret it
Yeah he’s underwhelming
Total pass on the whole wave for me except the White Queen I need her for my Xmansion Library room. HASBRO needs to drop the price especially if they keep pumping out reusable molds and still in a coffin ⚰️ package 📦 forcing me to open my White Queen. The price tag just doesnt eqaul up to the material pumped out. These action figures look and feel like toys from $5 Below store. Again thank you Hasbro for making me save my money 💰
Yeah I understand things are more expensive but sone more effort needs to come with that
Fang is the only one that really stands out on the shelf. Of course for sone reason they never shipped Monet to me. Corsaire is pretty good too. Chamber has a good head sculpt but not an interesting design otherwise. And his feet suck.
Completely agree, those feet have got to go!
Fang is IMPERIAL GUARD David !! Not a Starjammer 🤣
Whatever, Nerd!
Ch’od’s height irritates me more…he’s 9 feet tall…he’s taller than the Hulk by 1-3 feet (Hulk’s variations).
Yeah it’s not particularly accurate is it?
You may as well rename the channel Displaying Soulkeefer Behaviour if you do much more of these reviews of figures you don’t even own!
People enjoy hearing about the figures and sharing opinions. I know its a contentious subject but it seems just hearing my thoughts regardless of ownership makes a lot of folks happy.
I actually enjoy this type of review. Have fans share their footage with ya and you giving ya opinions with whats there. Good way to interact with fans and review figs you can't physically get. 👌👌👌
That’s exactly what I’ll do!
Not much creativity for your buck? You mean, like the last 100 Ben Reilly Spider Men? I wonder why this wasn't ranted about then?
lol I literally ranted about how bad both the new Ben Reilly and Chasm figures were in my video review. I guess you kinda missed the point there.
Sad to see this channel become another one that doesn’t actually buy the figures they talk about. Always thought better of you Dave.
Since they're not available in my country would you prefer I don't cover them at all?
Corporations can't create. They can only acquire.
1. Ch'Od isn't accurate at all. It's total disappointment.
2. Don't care about Quint in the first place, but especially THIS version of him looking Marlon Blando! His blank expression is lame as shame! Just a blank, dull-ass figure that I don't need or want in my collection. Worst of the line for me.
3. White Queen. Her head is actually much better than it looked in the initial preview images. Her sculpting is good, but her ugly-ass, rubber cape restricts her movement, and just KILLS whatever enjoyment collectors might have gotten out of this! IT. NEEDS. CLOTH GOODS. CAPE. With a freakin' wire inside the cape! Cheap ass Hasbro can't even be bothered to give us that. They might have to close their doors or fire 2000 people to give us a cloth goods figure, I guess. I say, get on that, Hasbro!
4. Fang would be great---if he wasn't on a big, lanky body! He's smaller in size, so it's weird that they put him on a bigger buck. It makes NO KIND of sense.
5. Monet. She looks good, but she looks like cheap plastic. The lack of paint detail really lets this one down. No accessory pieces either. Just rather BASIC.
6. Cyclops looks good. I'm not sure why we didn't get an optic blast. The smoking eye is okay. Not nearly as good though. No shading either, so again, very BASIC.
7. Corsair. This is a good looking figure, but his HEAD is TOO BIG! Proportionally, it's too big for his body. Also the yellow emblem on the one I got has paint chipped areas. However, I think he's probably the BEST figure of the wave.
8. Chamber. For me, only Quint is worse than this one. Others may like it by I HATE the unnatural looking elbows when they're bent. HATE IT. Looks DUMB! Maybe you get better articulation, but at the sacrifice of having your figure look goofy and ridiculously stupid. UGH!
Hasbro had better pick things up soon, because even though I've been a fan of Marvel since I was 4 (almost 50 years, folks), I'm just about done collecting Marvel Legends. You can only have so much patience.
Can’t create, only acquire. That’s a good quote.
Completly dropped legends, comparing them to my joes theres no lookin back
I can totally hear that!
Lol don't let em get to ya bub'
If you dont see them, they cant hurt you, or was it if you stand still they cant see you?
🤔
Cant remember, point is,
Dont waste your energy on time
Not worth it
Wiser words were never said! :)
Dude, absolutely love your videos. I don't watch this channel because you have all the figures you talk about. I watch this channel because of your enthusiasm, and charm, and you look really good with a hat on. But no, really, we all know exactly what most figures feel like anyway, as we know what buck they're on. You don't need to have it in hand to know exactly what it's going to move like.
Man thank you so much. That encouragement means a lot!
😂
🤷♂️ marvel legends are marvel legends. They aren’t mesco or mafex. They have always been a basic line. They are what they are. It’s not premium, but where they excel is in character variety. No one covers an expansive universe like legends. At the end of the day, it’s why legends are so popular. Bring on more Shiar and starjammers
Complaints of minimal effort, paint apps, and lack of accessories has always been their downside. The only difference is the price hike, which only means wait for the sale. So this is the usual Marvel legends discussion
Found the simp...No one said they need to be the quality of mezco or mafex, so miss me with that weak strawman. Legends have not always been THIS lazy.
@@TheMattTrakker anyone calling collectors “simps” or “shills” are just jaded collectors. If you are salty in the golden age of collecting, guess what, you will always be salty. You have personal issues that have nothing to do with Hasbro. You are just a negative person and mad because others don’t share your bitterness. That’s your issue. You don’t need better figure products, you might need a good therapist to help sort out your own personal demons. 🤷♂️
But sometimes they’ll throw in so much effort and it shows what they can do when they want to!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour true that. Which is always a great surprise, but with so many releases, we can’t expect that all the time. I do prefer the hasbro business model, a wider character range with some sacrifices in detail and reissues. Above anything else, I want and expansive universe. That is just my personal preference
A shame, because I was really looking forward to how a Marvel Legends Ch'od would turn out. He seems so bland and boring in plastic form. Definitely could have benefited from some more paint, new sculpting, and better articulation. Meh. >:/
Yeah bland is the word for that guy
Lack of fire effects.
I know right?!
Chamber will be good thug fodder once he on sell
Yeah, great civilian body
Amateur mistakes, Emma cape could be glued at her back, in that way, she will keep her movement in arms, Cyclops with a different scale than Corsair, when both should be Vulcan mold, Fang with this Magneto mold, but they could use the Wolverine mold, Chamber an abomination on scale, the best mold here is Kid Omega, that's the best part of this. The BAF is the worst part. I like your intro, but I doubt they are improvement anything, they are indeed doing less and less effort, The BAF are the proof of that, they are getting lazy everytime.
Those would all be such great improvements!
Totally agree, had them all on preorder saw the end bill and all I wanted was the starjammers, but by the time they all come out how much will we have to pay$? Anyway Just can’t do it anymore. Canceled all of them
That’s a familiar story. I’m looking to buy the ones I want second hand long after they come out
Omg that be so awesonrvmarvel doing cards cause I miss the blurbs on the boxes
Yeah that would be fun
One gets the sense the Hasbro powers that be look over the many incarnations of a particular character and choose the one that involves the least amount of work.
There’s definitely a priority on short term profits over long term good will.
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour add in the bad quality control on GI JOE CLASSIFIED (i.e. weird face sculpts) and it makes more sense to shell out a bit more money for one quality figure (Diamond Select or SH Figuarts) than for one or two bad ones.
I will still get Ch'od by himself from a collector that doesn't like him, just because I like big brawny characters, but what I hope they actually do is change the legs, it's so bad looking, at least change the knee joints to a double hinge knees. I don't mind the shorter size or reusing molds but at least do something about the ugly knees. This is why I rely on and invest on other company such as diamond select and even 3rd party companies to get better figures and only buy marvel legends for sale or clearance prices which is actually what they are worth considering the work Hasbro allow the Marvel Legends team to put on. I hope Toybiz can get the license back or absorb the Marvel Legends team into their company instead of working for Hasbro. Hey, Awesome videos as always.
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend. I’m sure you’ll find some folks selling Ch’od for a reasonable price.
The only figures I liked in this wave are cyclops and Monet. But they are no way worth the asking price. 20 usd is more reasonable.
Agreed!
Michael French was right, this channel is just a click bait channel now.
I'm not familiar with who Michael is but he sounds like a great guy
Marvel is kind of wack at the moment.............smh...
They’re certainly not putting out their best effort
I don't mind reuse .
I do mind the lack of creativity when it comes to painting the figures .
Ch'od should have those lines on his leg shaded in a darker paint .
He could have at least come with a new looking weapon .
Also the Chamber figure is my least favorite . I agree the figure should have come with another head or at least a removable fire puke beard . We know Hasbro makes figures with the lower face covered . ( Hello Star Wars , GI Joe ) Unfortunately Ill get these because I am an X-Man fan . I am a completist , and that probably is a mental illness .
Hasbro takes the stiletto and stabs me again .
Ah the perils of being a completionist. I hear you!
Lazy and cheap seems to be their new motto. I really debated ordering this wave because I’m finding it really hard to want to give Hasbro money lately.
Yet they still sometimes can surprise us!
Lol Quentin is a telepath with genius intelligence, of course he would look like a character from tron!!!!!!😂😂🤙
Lol naturally!
Omfg Uncle Tims rants and reviews is insufferable
I’m not familiar with that chap
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour 👍. Also LOL "Chap" love it !
You don't need to have figures in hand to see that Hasbro is lazy. Honestly, having them in hand would probably just allow you to pick up on even more stuff that's done poorly or missing altogether.
If you're not going to include anything else with fang, paint the yellows so they aren't glaringly different between the two plastics.
Is true I’ve been collecting long enough to be able to assess from a distance
I'd rather you review footage than no review at all. 👍
I’ll keep on doing that for now!
This wave sucks
Yeah I’m not a fan
Hot take I think Emma Frost. Is the worst in the wave
Hey that’s a fair opinion
Ohh, no need to get all unhinged about his jaw 🥸🥸
You know I’m unhinged in general!
