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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
