Top 10 WORST MARVEL LEGENDS Action Figures | 2022

[@MrLurchsThings]

Hasbro: We can either reduce quality or raise the price. Hasbro Accountant: Why not both!

[@Mattyboy-dn4oo]

I agree with everything except the Black Panther. I’m a little biased because it’s my favorite look for the character, but it came out just about as I thought it would. He’s so much fun to pose and in certain poses he looks bad ass. He could definitely be better than what he is, which is why I’d give him a 7/10 but I definitely wouldn’t say he’s worse than AOA Rogue.

[@AlphaProto]

Yeah, that Black Panther does look pretty cool. It is mostly black plastic, but the cape breaks things up enough for me not to notice. That and I just like black.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Black Panther is great, actually made my Top Ten

[@Mattyboy-dn4oo]

@@GameTime-yj6qv Agreed. He’s my favorite ML of this year. Sometimes a basic figure is just enough.

[@thecurmudgeon7350]

I like that Black Panther as well...he's a cross between 2005 John Romita Jr. Black Panther and 1960s first appearance. He just needs some paint on his gloves and boots. I already have a soft goods cape for him on order.

[@drecolizo1]

Black Panther is one of my favorite figure this year due to its simplicity. An unmasked T'Chala head would have been a nice feature and the hard plastic cape is useless but, it's still fun to have. Howard the Duck should be on this list.

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

[@Robotfan987]

Bizarre that Hasbro sees Transformers as a kids toy brand while delivering better and better production quality on niche characters from the 80s consistently to fill in collection gaps for older consumers for years straight yet sees Marvel Legends as an adult-oriented brand and delivering all of... this. And for the same price point too. Beyond insulting.

[@miragebangbravern]

Robot toys are noticeably more generally better than human or at least humanoid figures nowadays or even back then

[@pants989]

The price creep is the only thing "collectible quality" about most MLs. I really am fine with them looking like fairly-basic toys as long as they're fun to pose. Occasionally there's a gorgeous figure but for the most part they all look like kids toys. In any case, fun lists and always enjoyable to watch.

Six months ago Target demoted Hasbro ML to an "off-shelf" category restricting in-store space for consumers. Walgreens just announce the termination of selling ML products in their service catalogue. Wal-Mart is currently re-negotiating terms of distribution with ML as a result of the last 3 failed MCU waves. With effort ML put towards the products on your list, it surprises me none that Hasbro has lost money this year. Looking forward to more videos from you in 2023 AC - All the best.

[@nhyar]

Yeah, that right there is the reason why Hasbro keeps giving us lazy releases, lol. Like, sure, the figure looks cool and all but it could have been better. They could have added extra stuff just because it's a very simple design and all they needed to make it was a bunch of black plastic.

[@rafaelvolpiteixeira7315]

@@nhyar definitely could be better, but I think is a little exaggerating put in a top 10 worst figures

[@redreploid1713]

The only figure I disagree on being in this list is Black Panther, that figure is better than any of the others shown here

[@graefx]

Between the Vulcan body, new Zemo, and Sentry, we *have* to have the right parts to make a proper Jim Lee or MvC style linebacker Magneto. How they've yet to give him that bulk is beyond me. I can't understand their insistence to only use a single body for a character ignoring how their depiction changes with different designs. #2 surprised me. I really like that figure. But you've got valid point.

[@jamessnow8512]

I love the Black Panther figure, but the simplicity and the argument about lack of paint for a collectible is 100% accurate. Plus, I had to mod the shoulders for range, which isn't what we're paying this kind of price for. But I am surprised Sentry isn't on this list. I loved the look of the renders, but in hand I absolutely hate the body and shoulders they chose. He's going directly into my custom figure to do list.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I don't have sentry yet

[@jamessnow8512]

@@AnthonysCustoms You aren't missing much. They dropped the ball again, even though they had the Vulcan body, they butchered together Grim Reaper parts onto a slightly larger torso.

[@andrewtaylor940]

That Hatut Zeraze also oh so well showcases both the problem with Hasbro's new windowless plastic and the risk that it poses. Look at the box pic. Note how it unquestionably appears to have some shading applied. Around the neck and down the sternum. That box picture unquestionably has some paint applied (even if just digitally). It does not match the product found inside. That's horrifying for a $30 collectable action figure.

[@kalorathekau]

May not be worth doing every year, but I’d love an occasional ‘top weirdest / most interesting’, where you can showcase figures that may be memorable for not just being good or bad; but may just have a really unusual visual design or piece of engineering

[@ericamcrae1610]

I need a "Hasbro's gunna Hasbro" song that's in tune with the Might Morphin' Power Rangers theme song

[@jonnelouten8111]

I'm sorry there's no way that black Panther is worse than that Hobgoblin. If you were disappointed that it didn't come with more paint or accessories, that is a valid criticism, but that doesn't mean the base figure is bad, let alone the 2nd worst figure of the year. It does its job as a basic black Panther figure. It's a good figure that is overpriced and lacks accessories. I don't need paint for a character that's one color. This was a bad year for marvel legends there are so many other figures that deserve to be placed on here to have this as 2nd worst. Hello the heralds of Galactus 2 pack with Terrax and fallen one? That one was terrible.

[@TheDrRandomness]

Hobgoblin is my number 1 worst ML it doenst look like the comic or show. It pleases no one and looks like a turd that can't even stand on his tiny glider. The last hobgobin was miles better.

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

I agree with your list. I think you could do this list 3 more times with ten different figures each time lol that's how bad Hasbro has been. Though I think black panther could have been an honorable mention instead but believe me, I fully understand why he made it on the list and why he was #2. Hasbro is all about cutting corners in every which way.

[@zenquantum1246]

Magneto wasn't so bad in my view, but I can see your points. Everyone else on this list really deserves to be there

[@PowerChordEPS]

Yeah I have to agree with the consensus that BP doesn't belong this low on the list, if at all. The AOA wave was a massive turd that makes BP look premium in comparison. I agree he needed a little more paint but the Vulcan buck works wonders and it's better than many of the old BP figs IMHO. Matter of fact I find it hilarious that most of this list is X-Men, either Bonebreaker or AOA and the VHS sets.

[@caincha]

I dunno I might disagree with a couple choices - Magneto, Rogue, Black Panther... - but I can't disagree with the overviews. It feels like 2021/22 were the years for DIY repaints/touch ups like they used all the extra paint in the (terrible) cell shading? I mean even the GI Joe figures that used to be pretty good were missing paint. That being said the sculpt in most of them is still there so even if one is not skilled with a brush a lot can be done with a Gundam Marker to bring out those details - not that we should, after all we're not buying them as model kits, but it is something easily fixable. What actually pisses me off is the price hike in reused molds. I'm usually not that fussy about re-releases and reused parts but if you're doing an entire set of reused molds (X-men 3 packs 😒) you shouldn't charge more but less..? Also with the 3 packs: wtf?! Not only they should be cheaper for being basically reused mold but also because we're buying bulk and yet they're somehow more expensive than what we would pay for individual figures and worse: no BAF, the BAF (Blob) will be sold separately!! I understand that all the companies still active after the p@ndem!c (edited to avoid bots 🙄) are raising their prices to refill their coffers as if they weren't already rich before the p@ndem!c and Hasbro is doing the same but to raise the prices AND lower the quality is ridiculous... In one hand I really really want those 3 packs but on the other hand I also really want it to fail due to the high prices...

[@angrym0nkeysh0w]

I agree with everything except for Black Panther. Could it have been more? Sure. But did it need to be? I don't think so. Black Panther's suit has always been simple. It looks exactly like it's supposed to. It especially shouldn't be so high up on the list (there's no way it's worse than AoA Cyclops, for example). I think there are worse figures missing instead: retro Sue Storm; Tigra, Future Foundation Spider-Man, What If T'challa (some people consider it a 2022 release), the amazon exclusive Mojo, Domino from the three-pack, etc. Anyway, the list was still fun.

You didn't address the problems with those requests though... Just that you liked them. Liking something doesn't make it objectively good.

[@TheQuebecDragon]

So Darwin doesn't pose well, and yet we've seen you pose him in so many good ways. 😉Talk about turning a lemon into lemonade, and getting your money's worth with a disappointing figure! 👍 For your list, I think your choices are pretty good. I was going to complain and say that AOA Magneto and Rogue shouldn't be there, but then I looked at the other 2022 figure releases and besides Madame Hydra, arguably, I don't see any better replacement. Ok, you were perhaps a bit harsh on Black Panther, the figure does look good despite the total lack of effort on the paint. I suspect that's the one most people will disagree with in the comments. So yeah, I would have replaced Black Panther with Madame Hydra. Thanks for the video and happy new year!

[@Meathook49]

Wasn't the Ursa Major wave released this year? If so, I'd say Hologram Iron Man was the worst of the year. Had a decent paint job, but nothing else was good about it.

Same price as Black Panther, yet clearly inferior. That's worse figure material. At worst if you emphasize having paint that much, Black Panther should be average because the buck, headsculpt, and cape are all really good, and it had great articulation.

I agree Black Panther would benefit from some painted highlights. The body looks good, but should've had a ball joint at the waist and a torso crunch or vice versa to give him more flexibility.

I’m almost certain Mafex will make a classic BP in the future, they already have Ironman, Thor, and cap shown, would make sense for them to continue building a full avengers team and they already made a movie version. Now I did say future and knowing Mafex that will literally be some time till then, but Mafex 9/10 never disappoints and I’m hoping they will make a solid BP, they do have quite a price tag but I honestly think it’s worth it for what you usually get with the figures, they imo are true collectibles
