Beta Ray Bill - Action Figure and Comic History - From Panels to Plastic

[@WeeaboohJones]

The ToyBiz BRB is the last remaining ToyBiz figure in my collection. It is so perfect, minus the ball hips. I don’t think Hasbro will ever do anything nearly as nice with a classic bill. I actually added a soft goods bendy wire cape to my bill and it’s so muchh he better now. Fun fact, there was a slightly different version of the ToyBiz bill with a more opaque brownish skin tone as opposed to the more yellowish version you have. I used to own two and noticed that they had different skin tones. I prefer the brownish opaque version since it looks less plasticy. Not sure why there were two slightly different versions though, maybe they were being made in different factories.

Interesting! I’ll have to look into that color variation - FUN FACT POINT awarded!

The design used in Unworthy Thor actually premiered in Journey into Mystery three years prior, being done by Valerio Schiti.

Simon’s run on Thor was my favorite comic as a kid and loved all the Asgardian characters along with Beta Ray Bill! Awesome artwork and great ragnarok storyline! Couldn’t wait to get the next monthly issue when it came out at the local liquor store comic stand! 😂 Thanks!

[@CarbonScoring]

Very cool! I love nothing more than memories from the spinner rack!

[@cedarbaydave]

My favorite comic character! I have all these, but have never had the heart to open the packages. Please Hasbro or Diamond Select make a Beta Ray Bill pre Thorification and take all my money.

[@CarbonScoring]

I'd love to see if someone made a custom of the pre-hammer Bill - that would be very cool!

[@drahculia3579]

I got the ToyBiz one to complete MODOK, back in the day. It's still on my 'ML villains collection' wall. I've had no time, money, space or interest for any of the later releases.

[@fernandodelgado4329]

I really hope the Hasbro team makes an updated classic 90s Beta Ray Bill figure because I often do both love and enjoy the Hasbro modern Beta Ray Bill version of the character because he is really a badass just like Thor himself, Fantastic video overall on both Beta Ray Bill's comic and action figure history Carbon Scoring.

[@gregtheradical]

I would love to see a classic beta ray bill figure in a retro cardback

[@CarbonScoring]

OH YEAH! With that cover to 337 as the card art!

[@drahculia3579]

41 years since Beta-Ray Bill/Beta-Ray Thor's debut. And yet, from Marvel, still no: 'Beta-Ray Loki'; 'Beta-Ray Sif'; 'Beta-Ray Baldur'; ''Beta-Ray Odin' (he can see how HE likes being replaced by a monster horse-man). Given that there's been two ML figures of "The Blob" it's not outwith the realms of (Asgard) possibility that we may see a "Beta Ray Voltstagg" Marvel Legends figure. And once the Beta-Male-Asgardians (and Beta-Female-Asgardians) reach Earth/Midgard, how long before the X-Men, Avengers, Inhumans all 'go Beta'? (Forget 'Secret Invasion'!). Beta-Ray-Spider-Man (Peter) would not be allowed without Beta-Ray-Spider-Milo: "Let Them Fight!". Beta-X-Men, Beta-Avengers, Beta-Inhumans. Think of the Legends figures! (Beta-Ray-Spider-Milo and Beta-Ray-Milo may be a Wal-Mart exclusives, subject to your Wal-Mart branch not being closed down due to... ...um...flash mob videos). (Any resemblence Beta-Ray-Sif may have with AOC is purely an issue of Beta-Dentistry).

Already a fan of Simonson from his fantastic job on the manhunter. When this came out I went apeshit 😛

[@CarbonScoring]

A true master! I do have a Simonson Manhunter from DC Direct - maybe I should start an Artist Spotlight series?

[@jsteelav8r]

Fantastic as always! Love beta Ray Bill he is so freaking cool!

[@CarbonScoring]

Same here! Thanks for the early watch and the feedback!

[@jsteelav8r]

@@CarbonScoring of course! I always try to catch the early one I really look forward to it!

[@orepublic]

The second TB BRB was one of the earlier figures in my collection and even though I've never dived deep into this lore, it always struck me just how impressive it is. Always the OG 97 release, but man I just love everything about the second, especially the armor or on the legs.

[@CarbonScoring]

See, this is what I am here for - providing the deep dives!

I wish they had made one in the retro 3.75" line.

[@fernandodelgado4329]

I do not even have a Beta Ray Bill figure, But I will get Thor related characters like the retro carded classic Loki, Thunderstrike, retro carded classic Hercules, and Ragnarok to use as a regular Thor despite the red clone Terminator looking eyes.

[@nomogomery9494]

Just thrifted the toybiz bill in box and it's been a grail of mine for a long time. So happy to have it.

[@CarbonScoring]

oh, that is AWESOME! Well done!

This looks awesome I love some beta ray bill

[@CarbonScoring]

He is great!

[@bagginsfrodos]

Oh geez I had the two toybiz Bill's my Toybiz Maestro holds the first Bill's StormBreaker :) idk where Bill went 😐

[@CarbonScoring]

Cool move with Maestro, though…

[@hickettsisepic989]

Not sure what is on your schedule for upcoming videos but I’d love one of these videos on X-23

[@CarbonScoring]

Cool idea - I'll add it to the list!

[@angellaparan2447]

Every week I yearn for the next video of Carbon Scoring on Saturday.

[@CarbonScoring]

That is what keeps me motivated to stay on schedule! I appreciate your loyalty!

[@DracoVimes]

I barely know brb but his design is so cool and I will buy a figure of him soon edit: HIS CHARACTER IS SO COOL

[@drahculia3579]

No matter how they spin it, to me: Beta Ray Bill/Beta Ray Thor is a villain, always was a villain, always will be a villain. A villainous 'monster Thor'. An 'evil imposter'. Beta Ray Bill is the Lando Calrissian of Marvel Comics.

[@CarbonScoring]

Nah
