Since diamond select prioritizes aesthetics over articulation, this is exactly what I’d expect from them. Looks great, but not a figure I care about. The problem with hasblow is they don’t prioritize anything. Everything they do is just meh. Ok aesthetics but sometimes bad, ok to poor articulation, crap accessories, and a high price tag to boot
@chewymew
@chewymew Ай бұрын
Marvel Legends (in my area) are $24 and Selects go for $30, for only 6 dollars more, you get way more paint and sculpt, an assload of accessories, and usually brand new molds. The HasBros can't seem to get that. Even if, hypothetically, Hasbro's licensing agreement is the absolute worst and making toys is really such a burden on them, that is not our problem. The only thing important to us as consumers is what we choose to buy. We don't have to settle for Hasbro's mediocrity when there's better figures around the same price out there. That is Anthony's point

Why doesn't this figure have the same articulation as the excellent Captain America figure that came out earlier this year? That fig is one of the best Captain America figs I've seen. At $30, with sub-par articulation, this is a no-go for me. Marvel Select can give really good articulation when they want to, but most if the time they don't.

It's no wonder the rise of 3rd party; both licensed and unlicensed, has been occurring lately. Even in Marvel & DC's case, they're giving out the Marvel license to other companies to give us more options. Ofc, we have our imports in the form of Three-Zero, Sentinel, Bandai's SH Figuarts, Medicom MAFEX, and even Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi... But now there's other companies on the rise like Fondjoy, ZD Toys, Moratorm, and so much more coming up. Having more options is truly a win-win for us collectors!

How does marketing and advertising cost factor in the Hasbro vs Diamond select comparison ? Hasbro make lower quality figures, but maybe they have more marketing cost and also the demand. Many buyers don't see the flaws and don't care and are fanboys that shill-in. This happens to every other collector item, for example LEGO - people buy bad overpriced products, just because they need to buy a certain character.

@TitularBeast

The real problem is the *quantity* of the ML line. They make SO MANY figures which makes it by necessity rely on constant reuse, fewer accessories or paint apps with each figure etc. Marvel Select puts out way fewer figures so they’re able to dedicate a lot more to each release. The question is do ML collectors want fewer releases each year in exchange for better quality? It’ll realistically never happen because a flood of constant product is a big part of what makes the ML line profitable.

I'm convinced that Hasbro Marvel Legends collectors live in denial. All you have to do is look at all of the fanboy channels that constantly post delusional praise for nearly every release. It's ridiculous and embarrassing. The worst part are the people in the comments who carry on about how many more figures that "reviewer" has convinced them to buy at full retail. Then, if you hit up the web for presales, they're almost always sold out! I just don't understand it, unless there's only a handful of each figure available from a particular retailer at that time. It's absolute lunacy and there's no other way to describe it.

Thank you for the review, Anthony! I was bummed when this one came out that you didn't have a review at the time. Only thing missing that I would have liked is a brief side by side comparison with the recent Marvel Legends Blade. That was kind of a standout among marvel legends so I'd be curious what your thoughts are for comparison? The only things going against this fig is his height and those arms. Everything is is preferable. Tough comparison in my opinion. What do you thinm?

I bought him on release , I love it still. It's insane how many weapons it has. And everything is well-designed ,fabricated and painted. For Marvel Legends he's a bit short but ultimately I like there's variety in human bodies in my collection. Him being thin makes me wonder if they originally planed to give him a soft goods coat? I like this look but I am tempted to get him a coat, and him being thinner would help, because one thing I hate for soft good in figures in this scale they most times look like a kid in grown-up clothing.

LOL yep, I asked you to review this multiple times because I really like this figure. Blade is 6'2 so he's the same height as Captain America. He IS skinny compared to Cap. 215 lbs vs 240lbs. Yes, the guns connect together along with that stock/battery pack to form a 'mega gun'. I call it a battery pack because Blade's guns also shoot UV light to kill vampires and requires big power sources. Yes, the fig lacks articulation like other Marvel Select figures but the paint, sculpt, and tons of accessories more than makes up for it to me.

For me I'll get the Marvel Legends figure if it's a character that I'm a fan of. But if it's one of my favorite character I'm going with the select figure or I'll get a select figure of a character because of how good the figure is. Like I'm not a big juggernaut fan but the select figure was a must by for me. Because the size, sculpt and paint on the figure are legit. Also the weight of it compared to marvel legends is nuts due to the solid arms and legs. Also figures like him, hulk and others call legends pricing into question even more more. Because the sheer size and weight of them is something you don't see many non BAF figures get close to in legends. But for select they are standard for figures in the line.

I don't know that this has the POA as half of current Marvel legends since they've been using the vulcan and shriek bodies for most of the current figures, definitely some of them, but thats almost besides the point even. I would rather have a figure that looks this and that someone actually put effort into than a couple dozen lazy repaints. I definitely think it's an issue with the design team at Marvel legends specifically, and it just boils down to laziness and greed. If you look at the GI Joe line Hasbro is clearly capable of making solid figures, and if licensing was an issue (which its not to the extent anyone says it is) they can cut the accessory account in half compared to the GI Joe line and it would still be twice as many accessories as Marvel Legends currently have. Hell, even though they have their own issues, they can cut a half dozen new molds for every new Black Series wave that comes out, and there would definitely have to be licensing involved with that from Disney and Lucas films.

Marvel Select is way, way better than ML most of the time and I wish more people noticed that

Looks fantastic, but i dislike the 7" scale so much :( Just thought that a custom figure mixing this with GiJoe Roadblock could ajust the scale a bit :)

I don't think the reason for quality different from Hasbro to Diamond select is the licensing. I'm pretty sure that the licensing is the same for both companies but Hasbro puts out like ten times the figures diamond releases every year. Hasbro leans more in quantity while diamond in quality. That's obviously not a justification doe.

The funny thing is that, as far as I know, DST can only release a certain amount of Marvel action figures per year because Hasbro owns the master license. Yes, they give priority to quantity over quality, but that's their choice, they admit so in a Shartimus interview. They could make better stuff but in less quantities if they wanted to, they chose not to.

Personally, this is my favorite Marvel Select action figure. I don’t collect Marvel Select, so I have no desire to keep the ones I have in package. The few that I own are loose and this is my favorite Marvel Select figure.

Reread what I wrote. I said I have no desire to keep the ones I own in box. Therefore I own none in package. I also acknowledge that I own three (few) Marvel Select. I don’t think anybody , especially viewers of this channel , would consider 3 a collection. I own over a hundred Marvel Legends; I do collect ML. You obviously don’t comprehend what you read or don’t understand English.

I would love to buy Marvel Select, but they scale too big. 99% of my collection is 1/12. I would buy MS for the Hulk or any big character. Damn shame MS don't do 6in figures.

articulation sucks! he can't raise his arms sideways at all and no double joints ... this action figure looks nice but articulation is important , otherwise go buy a statue ... 7/10 IMO

Agreed. Articulation is a big factor and that brings this figure way down.

A ton of accessories, wonderful scultpwork and paintwork, that alone makes the figure worth it. Such a shame the articulation is still subpar, these arms are so freaking limited and that knee joint is very ugly when not in a neutral pose. I'm sorry to say, even if I didn't have my Toybiz Wesley Blade which I love very much, I don't think I would've bought either the Marvel Legends or the Select one.

i don't feel like this is that good, proportions are meh, single joints, poor articulations the detailing is amazing but the rest is not, if i wanted a small statue with accessories i'd pay for a statue with accessories, as an articulated action figure select is not good because they barely articulate and blade should be posed better than a ninja accessories? nice 9\10 sculpt? proportions are weird but detailing and anatomy is bad 5\10 paint? great 8\10 articulations? AWFUL 3\10 overall 6.25\10 which is mediocre it's just meh they can be better if they just put effort in enineering and proportions, the miles morales is horrible easily the worst figure ever, somebody cares about these especially the ones designing accessories , but the sculptor and the engineer doesn't it's just not great at all man knowing that they can do better i totally agree on the message and critiques on hasbro tat's just the blatant truth

StarWars and Marvel Legends teams are just a bunch of crooks. GiJoe Classified skews a bit.. but Valaverse also shows that Hasbro practices crazy-ass prices.
