Top 100 Figures of the Decade | A Retrospective

With the end of this year we see not only the conclusion of decade of collecting but also the culmination of ten critical years of reviewing. As we look into the past, we can reflect on what was good and what could have been better and bring that knowledge into the future to make the action figure industry and how we interact with it even better for collectors and manufacturers alike.

I'm technically the opposite, I find I like Mezco and similar products the most. Of course that does mean that my poor wallet suffers a bit more than if i was buying marvel legends and black series stuff as my primary. Sigh my poor, poor wallet.

So crazy it's been 10 years. Been watching since the Custom Deadpool showcase when I was 8 or 9. Now I'm 18 and a Patreon. Loved all of your videos and you've always been the opinion I take closest to heart when deciding on figures. Thanks for all the joy you've brought into my life; looking forward to more vids. Btw, I haven't had that stroke, yet lmao.

[@jiggityjay9926]

But in all seriousness, I’ve been watching you since I was in middle school, and I’ve loved watching you grow up with me. From your sh figuarts Neo-Namekian custom, to your newer vids, it’s been good to be a viewer of your channel for this long. Here’s to another 10 years brother 🤝

When you mentioned you were going to make this video during the Top 10 Spider-Man Marvel Legends, I kinda thought you were kidding- I'm glad I was wrong.

Drink every time you here "they don't make figures like this anymore" or "this is an example of what a $20 figure can be when you try." Be careful. lol

[@rickyg.4004]

I've owned 31 of the figures on the list. Currently own 10. Updated most of my Legends, purged DCUC and most of my imports. Congrats on 10+ years and thanks for all the content. I'm sure this video was an undertaking but also a fun look back. The one figure I was surprised didn't make it, or I missed it, was ML Walgreens Thing. Loved the shout out to SOTA Street Fighter figures. Those and ML got me back into collecting as an adult.

Thing didn't make it due to being symmetrical and having tiny fists.

Just finished watching this video.. man, all I can say is thankyou for everything, I'm so happy to see you making it this far, you are probably the best example of an action figure reviewer that ups his game and not only that, your honesty, it's so hard to find that these days, I admire and appreciate you for that. I really want to say I was here since the beginning but I'd be lying (although every now and then I check your old reviews), you might have not been the reviewer that introduced me to this world but ultimately you became my favorite. Thanks for everything, my friend, whatever happens after this, we'll be here for you. ;)

[@El___Barto]

This is the ultimate video toy review of the decade!!! Amazing!!! Congrats for the idea and objetives reviews!!!

[@chrislightman1254]

I rarely comment on KZbin, but wanted to give you a sincere shout out for this video. It clearly illustrates how much you care about action figures. It is pure passion and that is a rare thing. I think that is the reason why you are the only action figure KZbinr that I still follow. Don't give up and good luck for the future.

[@benomsr2172]

It took me the morning, my lunch break, after work and while I wait for my daughter in drawing lessons but finally made it. Im worth 19 points, 20 if Zero its included in D-Arts. Great video man. Love your honest reviews.

[@TSURUGl]

Dam, ten years, I've been watching your videos for what seems like forever now, your reviews were always the ones I go to when I want to see an sh figuarts or even a figmas review, and you are awesome for replying to so many of my comments even if they were dumb questions LMAO, all I can say is thank you and best of luck :) PS my grammar is probably horrible, English is my 2nd language sorry

[@scottpiper213]

Closing out a decade of KZbin in a big way! Thanks for all the hard work over the years and for staying objective. Your reviews have saved me a lot of money, especially the last two years.

Fantastic job! First, when I saw that it was almost 1,5 hr long I didn't think I'd made it, but it was great I enjoyed every minute. This is why I like your channel, you have good taste and also tell it as it is. No sucking up, when it's crap it's crap. Great! About your number one, I have exactly the same, I don't have anything with the series but these figures are fantastic. I really hope to see your channel next year on KZbin, I hope that how they implement the laws it doesn't affect you.

[@Ultrazilla]

Wonderful work, Anthony! Ten years, wow, man, congratulations. Definitely an inspiration. This was a great watch, love seeing all the clips through the years. Can't argue with those tops, man. Fantastic figures.

[@AidoneusPluto]

I stumbled on your channel when you came out with the PAK Akuma video, and I've been watching since then. Needless to say, your reviews are the first I look for when I'm humming and hawing about a figure. Thanks for the vids, Anthony! And congratulations on a decade of this stuff, looking forward to everything you put out from here.

[@lechuga8204]

This video shows how awesome this channel has been, I have grown up watching your videos and enjoying them like no other, this video is the crown of all that time, I enjoyed every second, every figure and reason why they are in the list, really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all these years, for your objectivity and openness, for me you are the best at what you do and I can't wait to see what else follows. Saludos de México.

[@gnarwhal7562]

Appreciate the effort that went into this video. It Musta been a monumental challenge to rank so many figures

[@BBmetalhead04]

I might not always agree with you Anthony, but your videos have given me a new perspective when it comes to collecting. Your emphasis on anatomy and sculpt are very informative, and for my money you have one of the best review setups (something about your lighting just makes the figures pop out even more). This video was a great walk down memory lane, and I hope you continue with the fantastic content.

[@michaelmulligan8527]

I'm only 7 minutes in but I've already liked it. A video like this show a tremendous amount of dedication and love, thank you for making it. While I don't always agree with your reviews, I always appreciate them and certainly watch them for an alternative perspective. Thanks for being part of my KZbin watching for the past 8+ years (ever since I got back into the hobby), I hope the next decade brings you joy and as always, keep collecting.

Great list Anthony, really appreciate you putting this great video together, I have 3 of the 100 lol, anime gundam, mp10, and optimus primal. I'll be on the hunt for more of these figures on this list.

16 of my figures made it to your list, not bad for 7 years of being a collector, it was then when I started to watch your videos. Keep on collecting and keep on creating MANthony ✌🏻

Thank you for making this video and make my day.

You rule.

Oh wow you really did it, amazing and it is your longest video, i can tell the amount of effort and planning that went into it

[@victorsage3862]

Great video, I'm agree with almost all of your list, I own 28 of the figures that made it to the top 100, mostly being part of the top 50, I had never been interested in mortal Kombat, street figther, God of war, transformers or Gundams, and that's probably the reason I didn't own more from this list. Thanks for all the years of reviews, for me when it comes to take a final decision about buying a figure a like but I'm not sure if it worth the money, your reviews are the voice of reason. Keep the great work, greetings from Colombia

Thanks to you I got Shocker (my all time favorite Marvel character for whatever reason.), X-Force Wolverine, Nightcrawler, the classic cartoon Storm and just recently Silver Sable. Looking to get more and hoping to watch more of your older reviews on the ones I end up seeing and consider buying. Like Skullcracker/buster, whatever his name is, for example. :D

Or filling the last month before the apocalypse filled with debauchery. Whichever.

The various intros brought back so much nostalgia. I have only subscribes to you about 4 years or so, but I can say for sure: I watched basically every video of yours. They were and are great. So sad that KZbin is having these nonsense going on. Hope all will be fine:)
