WHICH BLADE IS BETTER? Hasbro Marvel Legends Mindless One Wave vs Marvel Select Action Figure Review

[@dahhmlife]

Glad someone finally did this. Select Blade deserves some shine. Apparently the two guns plug together and the random part is supposed to be a butt stock. I still can't figure it out.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Happy to help!

[@chickenpit9991]

My money is on Marvel Select, price, accessories, literal value for money. Edit: didn't even notice that they went back to the older packaging😂

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It's a really good one

[@andyd2296]

I really love your articulation segments. Keep up the excellent work!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much! I don't usually get a lot of feedback on those so I appreciate it

[@fnsinistr]

I love that Select Blade. I bought a couple of Mcfarlane Hellbat cycles when they were real cheap. I took all the Joker dragon bone pieces off to the bare bones cycle and customized the crap out of it for this figure. He looks so badass on it. It compliments the figure so well. Im going to try and customize a nice black leather trench for it even though im happy enough with it as is.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That sounds awesome!

[@connorstiles1001]

Pics?

[@MTB214]

They look cool. If you have time a cool Halloween video comparison would be Grandpa from the Munsters newish movie neca figure vs Dracula neca figure.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Only time for one more 5POAWEEN video this year, but NECA Dracula will be a part of it!

[@SeanCuebas-zl5my]

Between these two select is an obvious choice. My favorite vampire movie is Once Bitten. Lauren Hutton, Clevon Little, and a very young Jim Carrey. Funny stuff.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Once Bitten is a great choice!

[@connorstiles1001]

You should checkout Day breakers. It's freaking awesome!

[@jeremyandolivia]

And I started blasting 🤣I also loved how you paired Blade with vampire Green Lantern, it looks so amazing !!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks! I like it a lot too

[@jeremyandolivia]

@@5POAFigureReviews I’m not sure if others mention it to you but I base a lot of buys based on your reviews! Happy Halloween!

[@bradystardust7708]

The original fright night is my favourite vampire movie. I am loving these halloween videos.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks Brady! Only one left for this year sadly. And you can't go wrong with Fright Night! Well unless it's the new one lol

[@MK7-MephistoKevin777]

I like the more complex outfit and accessories on the Select figure, but I really like the long black classic trench coat look, so unlike the ULIK VS KALIBAK video, I may prefer the older figure to the newer one, but this comes from really liking that one specific detail, if both had trench coats, I'd probably like the newer figure more (which is the case with ULIK VS KALIBAK, I like the McFarlane a lot more) I've been watching your videos for over a year, it's only in the last few months that I began making more comments on KZbin videos, and yeah, I'm looking at older videos and recent ones I missed. Good reviews all around, I even watch ones about characters that are not that important to me, I miss the part of your intro where the cups get knocked over and you fumble the money in the air (lol) classic intro that always makes me laugh every time. But making the into shorter makes sense, many have seen many times. Your extensive comparisons are always great, and versus videos too.

[@nostrem82]

legends has the better head sculpt but select had the better body in my opinion great job Jason always enjoyable 🤘

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@WayneJayne24]

I got the marvel legends version of blade 2 days ago at gamestop and i really love it and i really think the legends version looks so much like wesley snipes blade from the movies. I know its not exactly that version but i really do think its very close

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, and that's more my mental image of him because of the movie

[@kldn-xtlxmr7675]

On the ML blade, the torso is reused from the Blade from the man thing wave, the legs are reused from old man Hawkeye, and the arms are reused from the havok with jacket from the X-Men twopack

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Didn't I mention the torso was reused from Man Thing? I thought I did.

[@kldn-xtlxmr7675]

@@5POAFigureReviews i think you did

[@DarrenHoang]

Legs on the Legends is from the Old Man Logan, Hawkeye Two pack. Been trying to think of where the arms or coat are from, but I can't put my finger on it for the life of me XD

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I don't know about the coat, but other commenters identified the arms as having come from the 90s two pack version of Havoc

[@alexrosado3933]

Of course, after I customized my own blade outta a roadblock, lol. Select for the win more bang for yer buck. Legends for my collection. Movie: dust to dawn. Fun video w my coffee and snow here lol

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Very clever idea for a custom! Thanks for the kind words. I am jealous of your snow lol

[@stephenperkins24]

I ended up getting both. I gave the MK’s Blade a soft goods trench and gave the one he came with to the Manthing Blade and it matches better with the glasses. I also gave MK’s Blade the stake holster from manthing Blade and a knife and black gloves from some gi joe I had. Spruced it up a bit. The marvel select is just amazing. Needs shoulder mods but other then that it’s so good. Worth the 30. The block thing on his leg is a should stock. You plug the two guns together and the block sticks underneath the gun with the thin back. It looks cool as a big gun.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Sounds great!

[@mangoman1073]

Man every time i remember how little the McFarlane CE figs come with it bums me out specially since McFarlane felt like he was the chosen one, no bs. Anyway great review cheers 🎉

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Firestorm seems well-packed, but justifying any of them being $30 is ridiculous to me. That however is a conversation for its own video.

[@davidpriego7315]

Marvel Select is a incredible well made figure. Has more accesories and the sculpt is awesome. But I prefer the ML because his appearence is my favorite with the coat, the aggresive face and the square hair, appealing to the live action Blade (which is my reference towards this character)

[@who_wants_a_fucken_burger]

I did end up buying the marvel legends blade and I have to say it's amazing

[@5POAFigureReviews]

A very pleasant surprise!

[@who_wants_a_fucken_burger]

Why thank you 5POA

[@andrepaul3483]

Me everytime I see Morbius: IT'S MORBIN' TIME! Joking aside,the ML Blade is like one of the best recent MLs from recent years. The MS one never came out here in my country sadly. Also,my fav vampire project is not a movie. But a little show in the late 90s-early 00s. And that show is ANGEL!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You know in hindsight I should have made a Morbin Time joke lol

[@orinanime]

1) I loved your Spider-Man bit in the middle there. 2) Have you done a big comprehensive Spider-Man video yet? 3) great video! As per always. 4) I honestly disappointed in both of these figures for different reasons 5) favorite vampire movie? Here's a few: 1979's Dracula starring Frank Langella Vampire Hunter D Only Lovers Left Alive Blacula (not necessarily a favorite, but holds a special nostalgia for me) Stake Land (again, not necessarily a favorite, but one I'll often recommend)

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Never heard of Stake Land, I'll have to look into it. I have not done a co comprehensive Spidey Versus yet (it's coming), but I have done a huge Action Figure Evolution on him. Go to Popular Uploads on my Channel main page. It's number 3 I believe

[@orinanime]

@@5POAFigureReviews thanks for the feedback. Stake Land is great. It got a sequel that is okay but nowhere near as good. I'll go check out your Spidey video I

[@megagrey]

Favorite vampire movie NOW? This year's Abigail. Such a fun fun romp. I want a crossover battle movie with M3gan now.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I'll have to check it out!

[@AlphaProto]

Blade is my favorite vampire movie. Daybreakers is pretty good too.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I still haven't seen Daybreakers, but I want to!

[@connorstiles1001]

Daybreakers is freaking awesome

[@ReiviewTV]

First off, I think the better Hasbro Blade to compare with the Marvel Select one is the "Man Thing wave" bald version of Blade. I actually prefer this ML Blade because it's closer to the Wesley Snipes look. I think the preference lies on which will be partnered up with the Blade figure, the "more accurate" 1:12 scale (Mezco, GI Joe Classified) or the Neca scale. I have more of the accurate 1:12 so I'm going for the ML one. If the Marvel Select Blade is more in scale with Marvel Legends line and they gave him a removable trench coat, that would be absolutely cooler.

[@Blade-Thing]

I want them to put out a Blade boy thing ( baby man thing from jason aaron's avengers run) mafex set. Boy thing would come in 3 versions as armor, sword and as himself that you can wear on blade's shoulder.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I never heard of that one! I'll have to look into it

[@er_nekro]

the marvel legends blade legs are reused from the old man logan two pack hawk eye

[@jimmyodinson9841]

ML Blade for me. Plus we've already had that Select style one in an older ML wave so don't need that look again.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I can see that argument, for sure

[@carterkresko]

Realized Select looks kinda like Michael Jordan and now I can’t unsee it😂

[@5POAFigureReviews]

(Michael Jordan McDonalds PSA voice) Stop it.

[@rellh8866]

Picked up both...

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Nice!

[@TeamEmerald3]

Will there be a marvel legends deadpool comparison at any time?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

The only Deadpool figures I have are the new two pack (which I did a review of earlier this month) and the pirate version, so I don't think I have anything else Deadpool coming for a while. Sorry about that!

[@Crim-kun]

Funny that the legends man tbing wave blade has an alternate head but its for alternate hairstyles

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Definitely an odd choice!

[@renanfbarbosa]

Nice Spider Man Song😂😂

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks! Stealth Iron Man didn't seem to appreciate it lol

[@zbaloch27]

Great review. If you want some light hearted fun, 'what we do in the shadows' is a good movie. Otherwise, I would go with '30 days of night'.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I haven't seen the movie, but I have watched several episodes of the FX series. It's a lot of fun

[@Dragondude2525]

Still prefer the appearance of legends.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I still feel that Select is better sculpted and painted, but Legends better fits my mental image of the character

[@woody1856]

The forearms may be from the havok two pack. I remember him having big forearms.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You are correct

[@MiddleAgedGuy73]

Could the ML arms be a repaint of X-Force Havoc?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yep, that's it exactly

[@isaiahtr]

Looks like the havoc arms

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That's a very good possibility! Great observation

[@AnointedFlow]

Marvel Select Blade all day.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It's a great figure..

[@RyeLeeBread]

I THINK the arms are 90s X-Factor Havok.

[@RyeLeeBread]

I commented before you did the effect piece for the Mindless One. Every reviewer I've watched so far has ported it wrong. It plugs across the slit and plugs into both sides

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yep

[@daquest100]

The guns combine and the "box thing" fits on to the back of the combined guns as kind of a stock as it essentially becomes a rifle. It's actually kinda cool. Too bad the way it holds together is kinda suspect. The idea and effort of the combination weapon is cool but it's half assed executed.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Interesting! I would not have guessed that, but I will try it out. Thanks for the info

[@sun-hv4er]

Im still gonna get the ML blade because he looks cool and i cant wait to have him in hand but there are a few things that would've made the marvel legends blade a perfect 10/10. Slightly better articulation, definitely in the arms. A second head sculpt for a relaxed look A better sword. The marvel selects sword looks unique to blade while legends looks like he stole it off a henchman and forgot his at home Added paint apps. Some small touches of silver and red in certain places would've went a long way And this ones more of a personal preference but extra gun holding hands. As evident by marvel select blades been known to carry guns

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I agree!

[@connorstiles1001]

Witch one feels better?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

In hand I think Marvel Legends feels better. I stands and poses better, and the plastic just feels more durable to me.

I hate the Legends one’s forearms so much. Pretty sure they’ve been used before at least on the 90s Havoc figure, and they’ve always looked bad. No one’s, not even a superhero’s, forearms are that big proportionally. Kinda ruins the overall look for the figure for me.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, def Havoc

[@apankura._.3786]

In the legends blade, the legs are from old man Hawkeye

No, I haven’t got the marvel legend, blade, but the marvel select blade was incredibly disappointing. It was one of my first marvel select figures and honestly it’s not worth it at all. The joints was incredibly stiff the weapons are those cool only look cool when I put away yes I understand Marvel select. Doesn’t have good articulationand I was prepared for that, but was incredibly disappointed marvel legends will be the best figure line ever except the new screech fighter figure line that new figure incredible possibility. I bought one of my customize, and the other one I customized, but I love them.
