FIRST IN HAND LOOK! Marvel Legends CONTROLLER BAF Wave SPEEDBALL Action Figure Review

[@obi-onekenerdi]

I really wish he had a smiling head with the teeth showing or at least some open hands. He’s drawn with splayed out hands like 90% of the time and all they had to do was paint them since they have plenty of molds for open hands.

[@Grail_Quest]

I just can't believe I'm seeing this. Tears of joy. Speedball has been my favorite super hero since I was 10 years old and first discovered him in 1990 with New Warriors #1. All through those childhood and teenage years I wanted a Speedball figure so badly, but never got one. All through my 20's and the Civil War era I followed his arc into and then back out from Penance desperate for a figure but to no avail. Now here I am at 42 and finally, FINALLY he is on his way. I've already pre-ordered two of them. One to keep in the box and one to bounce uncontrollably around the house! Pooka!

[@Stygian360]

I love that the Legends team hands out samples to influencers to share with the community

[@suhtangwong]

Ik, they should've done that years ago! Ig they finally found out that their figures do so well in sales is because of these toy reviewers.

[@garethjames1300]

Yeah great move whoop

[@hereiam6149]

it sounds gross, like missing half a brain

[@displayedonce]

So glad to finally add Speedball to the collection in a couple months - he looks great surrounded by the other New Warriors. Great Review!

[@erivera94]

Congrats man. Great review. Also beautiful card collection. You sold me on this figure. That headsculpt is money.

[@Nyc_figure_fanatic]

Awesome that the marvel team gave you this reveal. Your channel is awesome and doesn't come up nearly enough on on my feed thanks to the terrible algorithm. Happy for you bro 🤘🏽

[@richestmanintatooine7131]

I love him! Speedball and Thor are amazing :3

[@VenomSnake00]

The Retro wave Shocker effects would pair very nicely with this figure

[@lmherrera]

His hair is what the Caliban Wave's Gambit was supposed to look like. Already preordered mine and can't wait to display him next to my OG New Warriors

[@MichaelCarroll]

Fantastic! I'm not a collector of action figures but I love the New Warriors so much that I've recently bought Firestar, Rage, Night Thrasher and Nova -- so Speedball is an absolute must-have! Great review, thank you!

[@raymondjones5909]

No ball effects accessories? That's cheap by hasbro, the figure looks nice though

[@CarbonScoring]

Congrats Toy Bro! Great job with your review! So excited to see those “Ditko bubbles” so crisp and clean on the figure! Can’t wait to get my hands on this one!!!

[@bensplastictherapy]

Congrats on the reveal! And excellent review as always. I really love the goggles.

[@TheBigBigSean]

My only complaint is I wish the orange was more orange. Looks too brown.

[@no1wonderfan921]

Agreed. Too similar in color to the hair.

[@DeadpoolXI1]

It's awesome how this guy was shown today for the first time and now we have a full review

[@obi-onekenerdi]

Congrats my guy!! 🎉 He was my most wanted Marvel Legends as well! So I’m really happy he’s here.

[@figlectorjuanarasa8517]

I would have preferred the pizza Spidey buck, more orange instead of yellow and a wider "belt". Also don't forget Namorita.

[@AnimalTTC]

The new upcoming Havoc back effect would have been acceptable. Not perfect but a solid... uh pre-use? Re-use? Idk but here's hoping down the road we get that piece in colors that work for Speedball.

[@SeanSolo8]

Congratulations!! Fantastic figure and review!

[@subzero9113]

Yes Someone did a New Warriors vid!!! One of My favorite Teams they were done so wrong in the end.

[@brittscasualtoyreviews8245]

Did they use your likeness on the face?

[@privateprivate31337]

I feel like your terrific intro was wasted when the Hasbro team spoiled that you were going to reveal him today. It's ok I still appreciate it

[@bdeitzen1]

If we could get Marvel Boy, Namorita, and maybe Silhouette and/or Turbo (preferably sooner than later) we would have a pretty solid New Warriors lineup.

[@no1wonderfan921]

I want Turbo so badly!

[@It-Figures]

Awesome figure and the right "Bro" to get the first look for sure!! Very happy for you and happy hunting on those few missing cards. Still waiting on ML update on the original Iron Fist look, hopefully on the sunfire buck or the new retro spidy one.

[@ShutoStriker]

Congrats on the reveal! Cool figure I remember having the card. Wish we could get some effects though even if they're recycled repaints. That's one thing that made Legends stand out to me was extra heads and or effects but we see less and less of that these days.

[@jrock32379]

Congrats on getting to review Speedball! I thought they were going to use the Pizza Spidey body too. Glad they went with the Sunfire body.

[@nickmandl]

Yeah that headsculpt and paint job honestly makes this guy look like a higher quality figure than just a marvel legends

[@InkDropCustoms]

So glad to see this character… translated nicely to action figure format

[@davidchance6418]

He looks good just wish he had some bubble energy effects

[@rogeliodoyle9168]

My life is complete! I've loved Speedball since his own series in the late 80s. I actually got Jo Duffy to sign one of the issues (I think she thought I was crazy having her sign one of her more obscure titles lol) at a Comic Con in 93. I even had him airbrushed onto my denim jacket back in the day.

[@a-glowing-ghost2828]

The hair is great. This is what I wanted for Gambit’s hair- Fluid and lively. The goggles are my favorite part.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I always liked this character and his ML plastic version is very good. I've been waiting for him for a while and I'm glad Hasbro chose this version of the character. They could have added an extra head an extra set of hands and some effects but I'm good with him as it is. The Night Thrasher and the Darkhawk versions we have aren't the ones I want and there are a couple of New Warriors members we're still missing like Namorita, Marvel Boy and Silhouette. I would be good with those even though we can add some more classic version of Hindsight Lad, Bandit, Timeslip, Powerpax and Turbo. Thanks for the review Toy Bro, you did good adding the effects.

[@igm32]

A Penance would be so fire now! The old Minimates pmo to Penance first as I was very young lol

[@Chaden]

Congrats on getting this early!!! That’s an awesome figure!!!

[@Br1cked420]

Cant wait to get speed ball

[@pcsm5al]

Get them a video of version 2 of lion-o and pantrho ultimates ?????

[@jarellano1014]

Just need to make a Marvel Boy & Namorita!!

[@chrish7983]

Sad to see how stripped down he is. No alternate hands, could have used another head that showed a more wild expression, no accessories. I know you're a fan of the character and probably appreciate Hasbro giving you an early look, but let's not be overly forgiving of the offering they are giving us. It's unfortunate that a number of brands are really stepping up their game lately and then seeing Hasbro continuing to scale back.

[@zephyrleapold6796]

They did the figure justice, but why'd they skip out on his balls?? He needed some small bubble stand

[@TheSonnyChannel]

Congrats on the reveal/review!

[@stevewegling8070]

Jared, Happy you had the honor of getting Speedball. He looks good. Maybe there will be a future release with more accessories possibly part of a multi pack or maybe a retro card. I would not put it past the Marvel team. ✌️

[@dragonman011]

Definitely looks fantastic, but the lack of any alternate hands or even bubble effects at that new price point really stings.

[@Avenging_Archer]

McFarlane's DC Multiverse collectors are used to that by now lol

[@void_serfer]

​@@Avenging_Archer What does that have to do with Hasbro?

[@Avenging_Archer]

@@void_serfer Has to do with toys and collecting and the similar price point. What is your problem?

[@void_serfer]

@@Avenging_Archer McFarlane charges $25 for 6-inch figures with zero accessories on the 100th repaint of a body mold? News to me.

[@Avenging_Archer]

@@void_serfer Today in: "Americans find out there's OTHER countries in the world!" But yes on the zero to almost zero accessories. Sometimes they even include a card with a photo of the figure with an accessory that is not included, just to rub it in. We done or are you gonna keep sperging?

[@larrymahlstedt5254]

Nice review of my favorite New Warrior -even if his details and kinetic field were a pain in the butt to ink. He’s already preordered.

[@jzachery]

Really excited for this guy and I can't wait to complete the New Warriors, my favorite Marvel team! When they get to Vance/Marvel Boy I hope they give us his actual early New Warriors look, specifically around New Warriors 10. Give an alt head for the skullcap. I really hope they don't get lazy and give us his "Justice" costume. That should come later for his Avengers look.

[@starrhunter633]

Glad to.have him coming, I would have lacked him to come with a standard that was his power effects when he bounced but my New Warriors are coming along nicely

[@caseysmith3329]

Chalk up another New Warrior. Now if we can just get Namorita and Justice.

[@tfitzge]

Wish he would have been made to how he looked in FA New Warriors. Really sucks that he doesn't fit properly with that era of the team, when we have so many other FA New Warriors.

[@kenwinjones3615]

Speedball looks great! Looking forward to this

[@Nvs76]

Awesome Vid. I was hoping the would have added the same back bubbles they did for SunSpot as I think would have worked wonders

[@SciFiGeorge]

I can't wait to get Speedball! I just wish he came with his cat Hairball and a few bubble fx. Now, all I need are Silhouette, Namorita, Justice, Turbo, and possibly Timeslip and Aegis. I definitely want a Sphinx 2-pack featuring both Sphinxes, pet cat and Ka Stone with Ahnk power fx.

[@no1wonderfan921]

Yes...Turbo please!

[@johnhammertron]

This is cool. We're a little closer to assembling the whole team. We also need Nova's New Warriors costume - the red suit with the helmet.

[@magnificentmarc707]

Much needed figure can’t wait to add him to the team.

[@redblocks8821]

Looks awesome, I hope I'm not too late to collect The New Warriors.

[@fightingtyler14]

Wonder if you could use that hair on Gambit?

[@TheToyOdyssey]

I wasn’t into The New Warriors but I can definitely see why you like this guy. He’s so unique in design.

[@spawnthegathering169]

Gonna need 2. I plan to use that head for a custom character

[@jestergadduang3611]

very essential character especially on 1st Civil War. Im so excited with this figure.

[@rainwalkerstudios3388]

Man, I was just gonna get this to do a Blue Beetle custom, but now I kinda want one just because.

[@fikebobby1]

How and where did you get him?

[@ayrieton]

now this is a figure completely safe from paint rubs

[@bladestar2322]

Technically you can add Darkhawk, Rage, and Dagger into this display! I do. I also made a Custom Justice, that I will discard when I get an actual.

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

I got my card sets complete minus some of thos hologram cards

[@guillermo5998]

It has great potential as a custom for the hunting suit from the DD series, with wenwu's legs it would look great.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

This looks great. The head sculpt is superb with the Sebulba racing goggles. I have a few figs on this body: Qukcksilver, Living Laser, Klaw, Deadpool in his yellow and black X-Men attire, Johnmy Storm and they can't do the splits like this Speedball can. Have Hasbro improved the hip articulation. Quicksilver came with flat palm hands. At the very least I this this one should've too.

[@TR4KALLIANCE]

So cool you got it first after wanting him for so long! 👏👏👏

[@Kooster69]

I'm glad Hasbro get you the Marvel Legends Speedball to review. Great to see this action, before ordering him.

[@trence5]

Wow, you almost have the complete team now.

[@bwtrader]

Need to read the New Warriors comic again… it’s been decades..

[@davidtyrrell6572]

Wow, those look amazing!

[@shotguned4610]

Should have given more hand options and bubbles that could have wrapped around his hands

[@deadshadow04]

Great epic start lol 🤘🏽 Congratulations Bro

[@Getwright-]

Not gonna lie, I would’ve preferred the pizza spidey body(or even that superior spidey body for that teenage look). But its awesome to have bobby and im glad you get to premiere him

[@JohnnyBlaze_616]

Dude, no. The 'Pizza Spidey' body mold is so ugly and outdated now. Especially with those duck-like feet. This isn't 2015 & 2016 anymore. That body needs to retired forever now.

[@Getwright-]

Sunfire body is too muscular for Robert. He’s a string bean (And like 15 when he wore this look the most) if pizza spidey is outdated they really to come up with a new body for super skinny guys like robbie or Skin from GenX

[@JohnnyBlaze_616]

@@Getwright- Yeah, a new and improved skinnier body would be nice!

[@Grail_Quest]

@@Getwright- Bagley used to draw him pretty buff in his Speedball form though. This looks a lot like his Marvel Masterpiece card from like '92.

[@Grail_Quest]

The hair! Amazing!

[@MrRobk270]

Great review! Do you not have Firestar? I was wondering cause you didn't add her in when you were doing your comparisons. I preordered him today..

[@MrRobk270]

My apologies I saw here at the end of the video, My Nova is still inbox.

[@brrratpit2941]

I feel like Hasbro had a meeting about which figures to put out. 1/2 didn't want to make him and only agreed, if they didn't give speedball any extra accessories. Like they could've added some open hands at the very least. And for it being a $24.99 figure.. that's terrible.

[@bartholomewthewise346]

I lowkey think Microbe would benefit being made using a body that could be shared with Blob or at least parts!

[@yonugG23]

Man. 25.99 on bbts that’s a big chunk of change.

[@Gex_and_violet]

Hey how much was from gremlins spike and ultimate gizmo ???

[@Gex_and_violet]

Action figures

[@no1wonderfan921]

Very excited for more New Warriors!!! He looks great. My only nitpick is I wish the mask, belt, boots, and gloves were more orange and not the same color as his hair. Bring on Namorita, Marvel Boy, and Turbo...please...

[@toyshelv]

Wooo Toy Bro reveals!

[@lucioorozco3647]

Nice Nice Nice Review, great Figure, Congrats for give it to you!

[@dahhmlife]

Looks great! Namorita next?

[@slackf]

Looks good but should of had an effect piece and Spidey wall crawling hands would've been nice. Just slightly lazy on Hasbro's part but i look forward to adding it to my new warriors.

[@glennmiller8755]

How do you have him already

[@uncannydcmarvelous5732]

Hasbro sended him a prototype to review.

[@northernnomad5880]

Hey TB 👋, Cool review 😎 👍. He does look like a good figure despite any re-use of figure body molds and parts.

[@cmathissr46]

Congratulations on the reveal! Watching your review first then jumping over and watching Erivera94 reveal of Ironman.

[@thetoythief8940]

I think having just a slightly clear colored ball could have worked as a accessory

[@bladestar8727]

You can also add Rage, Darkhawk, and Dagger (Cloak didn't join)! I also did a custom Justice, although an actual would be much better. Speedball is my least favorite member but I did order him. Really need Namorita, Justice, and female Turbo to complete the team!

[@lamcarter]

The hair Gambit should have come with.

[@fightingtyler14]

I really like the headsculpt. I haven't heard anyone else mention it. But he looks like Jake Gyllenhaal to me. Maybe it's just me that thinks that. I was hoping for some kind of crazy effect for him like they gave the upcoming Havok.

[@unclecreed2986]

Now need a Penance and Nitro.

[@Grail_Quest]

Freaking yes!!

[@Jas-1119]

Wasnt digging the body until this review, I was hoping see him on a slender body. It looks great, was also super psyched to see him announced.

[@nccspace]

how did this guy get speedball!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fernandomata3425]

Where are the Safe Space and Snowflake toys?

[@reversetriangle]

All that empty package space Price increases Marvel lmaoo Hasbro lmaoo
