Hot Toys Hydra Stomper & Steve Rogers Marvel's What If Unboxing & Review

[@Bro-pm9uo]

Glad I watched this! I was just about to purchase then I thought I'd watch your review first. You saved me 700 bucks! shame about those legs. Hot Toys dropped the ball IMO. Should have made the HS posable.

[@JustinsCollection]

Glad I could help!

[@zackking4742]

The Hydra Stopper armor puts my mind on the military from Fallout 4. The armor looks like another Power Armor that they didn't put in the game. It has that white star that looks pretty much identical to the game as well. Plus, that green pretty much the reasons. It simply gives me Fallout 4 vibes.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah true!

[@forrestpenrod2294]

Hydra Stomper is based on the aesthetic of the US military of 1939-1960 although specifically the Lee tanks and early Shermans. Fallout 4 is based on the 50's and 60's. Both draw from the same pool of WW2/Early Cold War inspiration. Stomper was designed by the guy who did Iron Giant, which I believe has been one of the many points of inspiration for Fallout.

[@TheBigred138]

Animated Steve Rogers collects the hands of fallen Nazi officers as war trophies. That's his thing. The movie Steve Rogers sheds a tear for every living soul he has to take. That's because war is hell on everyone.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh

[@charlietheunicorn5383]

The WW2 aesthetic might be the greatest aspect of this "figure" design. I also like how the Hydra Stomper gives me Iron Giant vibes blended with the Mark 1 from Iron Man 1. One of the great romances in the MCU was Steve and Peggy, thankfully they gave us a version of this... as if destiny can't keep them apart. Thanks for the review.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed I love the way it looks!

[@ThomasTrala]

The Hydra Stomper almost seems like a glorified display stand for Steve Rogers and Captain Carter, but it does look awesome. Great review as always, Justin!

[@JustinsCollection]

[@mikeblair2023]

Justin HELP!! What body are they using for Steve? What 1/6 scale body on the market would be closest too comparison? I just got the head sculpt for cheap and wanted to kit bash.

[@JustinsCollection]

It’s their own body designed specifically for him

[@silverfuryranger]

Wow, I'm so disappointed 😞. So many cool poses I had in my mind for this figure.

[@JustinsCollection]

You and me both!

[@jordanuniverse1475]

Justin, how do you maintain your figures that have that ever so dreadful pleather? If at all. I've never had figures with them, so now I'm curious.

My climate is pretty stable so I don’t do anything really

I'd be interested in seeing that

[@alphahale7668]

I can't wait for this figure. I ordered it primarily for smol Steve, he's adorable. It's a shame they didn't do a What if... Bucky as well, either the 40's one or the modern one. I would love to display them together, I really like the animated look.

[@JustinsCollection]

We need a bunch more What If figures!

[@nerdzunite2679]

I do find it funny how they provide a flying base but the leg pose doesn’t fit a flying pose lol

[@JustinsCollection]

Legit

[@rylecx2.096]

You're absolutely right about the power pose thing. For this price and without any prominent billing of being a limited Statue this is a bit dirty and cheap by hot toys, something that's become quite frequent in the past year. Going to be a hard pass from me. I used to buy most big HT release but lately their worse quality and much higher prices have made it easy to spare my wallet

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes not ideal!

[@Lunzerland]

Nope. I think this is a travesty from HT. If they were asking half the price for the Hydra Stomper it might be ok. But they aren’t, and this is really a large hollow piece of plastic with a few simple LED lights. No major engineering. The fixed legs are a huge ripoff. Not to mention they cheaped out on accessories! A flight stand but no blast effects?!?! How does that even make sense? There are so many HT’s at half the price or less that offer so much more value. In this case Hot Toys is simply using how big this is to justify the price --and walk down any toy aisle and you’ll see plenty of big plastic toys that are inexpensive so that’s not a good enough justification! It is things like this that other companies like Haslab look at and wonder how they can get away with charging what HT can do - import or not.

[@JustinsCollection]

Totally fair. If it weren’t for the screen accuracy, paint apps and presence I would be selling it immediately!

[@Linda-hf7vr]

I've been looking forward to getting this set. I love that we get a skinny Steve. So many possibilities for posing with Cap. Carter.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@TinyTacos618]

Imo The Power Pose idea is the stupidest thing Hot Toys has ever done

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair!

why not seeing Steve Rogers had be the hydra men and like to seeing the light swords and big guns too,

[@JustinsCollection]

Sorry?

[@hustle_simmons]

what was the point of the legs not moving if his legs don't go into the stomper's?

[@JustinsCollection]

No idea, cheapness on their part

[@chase1146]

If Steve’s legs went into the legs of the stomper then I would absolutely understand about the legs but the fact that that’s not the case is a wasted opportunity. They really had no reason to not put in articulation there

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed

[@kikepoveda7077]

Great video and excellent figure/set, I preordered just the armor, I want to place it with a Tony's Workshop full diorama

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@mepper91]

I was really hoping you were gonna put Captain America next to Steve so we could see the difference in size, but still a great review as always

[@JustinsCollection]

I did, but instead it was captain Carter!

[@GuyWebz]

I would love to see Hot Toys do the Sakaar Iron Man, the really colorful bombastic Hulkbuster Iron Man from the season 1 finale, maybe when seasons 2 and 3 come out

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@ko5235]

is that your real voice?

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes

[@The_Raydinator_2008]

What’s like the lore behind the what if?

[@JustinsCollection]

Check out the show on Disney +

[@aleanddragonITA]

A Nazi Spy attached the Laboratory before Steve could use it so Carter used the Macchine instead and became Captain Carter Because they couldn't present a Non American Woman (Carter is from England/United Kindom) as America Supersoldier, they asked Howard Stark to make an Armor (using the Cosmic Cube as a Power Source) Ps: In the Comic that probably inspired (or that at least has a similar Iron Man Steve's Concept in) this What if...? (What if...? Peter Parker became The Hulk) The Scientist died before he could create a Super Soldier and there's no Captain (nor Steve nor Carter)

[@kevinsay2492]

For the price and no articulations on the leg just not a figure I’m gonna pick up. Disappointing for me because I was looking forward to pick this up . I’m gonna have to pass on this one. Thanks always for the review, Justin.

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair!

[@reznofkv273]

The little piece on the side of the arm that has a hole in it looks like to me extra track armour from tank A very common for tankers to do at the time so that would make sense

I was super psyched to get the Hydro Stomper in the mail along with the Steve Rogers figure and was super bummed when I opened it as the hatch assembly looks like crap on the figure they did a terrible job with the hatch assembly and fit.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice

[@TheMikePrior]

Do Steve's legs go down into the Stompers legs when you insert him? From watching your excellent video, I got the idea that the Stompers legs are stationery to allow Steve get inside without removing his legs.

[@JustinsCollection]

No, I showed you in the video. You have him cross legged in the suit so the legs are separate.

[@Paul_Verbruggen24601]

16:18 why does it look like these lengths aren't correct, I mean when Steve got the super soldier serum he grew significantly, would captain Carter not be a big bigger or Steve a bit smaller?? Or do I miss something ?

Not sure

[@JaydenRiley-sm2mb]

Um Justin you might get pummeled into the ground by the Hydra Stomper so be careful

[@JustinsCollection]

Lol

[@somefranksandbeans]

Maybe the body used for Steve is the same as the one used for Marty McFly.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nah its way smaller

[@BB-it3ks]

Thanks for another great review Justin! Personally, I can forgive the non-posable legs, for the sake of balance/stability when standing on the shelf, or posed on the flight stand. What actually bugs me is the “satiny” finish of the paint. It picks up too much light and makes the figure looks cheap and plastic. I wish Hot Toys had given us a nice, gritty “matte” finish in that same color. It would have added more weight and realism to the figure. Still, a lot to love about the figure…. The frosted eyes and reactor, the flying stand, the accessibility of the electronic features… I’m hoping the price reduces in the next year or two.

[@JustinsCollection]

[@ZFosterZ]

I’ve noticed this too. Only thing I can think of, is that I am from Uk. And the company Justin shares in the link, is based in Australia? So… Maybe that’s why the price hikes up so much? It’s odd, as I tried to order a, Rorschach aka “Herman” by SooSoo toys, and it was advertised as roughly £190. But when I got to the pay point suddenly the final bill shot upto, 1950…. No explanation or anything. I thought I had been hacked or it was it was a con. So I came to the conclusion that maybe it’s a online company based in Australia… I ended up going to eBay to buy the “Herman” and it was £250, with shipping. Only explanation I can think of.

I certainly made the mistake of thinking the Stomper was fully articulated, should have paid attention to his model designation on the solo release. I hope someone comes up with a way to modify the legs. Otherwise he's a great release. I hope a 3rd party company makes a Vita-Ray chamber to pop this skinny Steve into

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh that would be awesome! Toys-Era making a set of legs? I’d be down for that and the chamber!

[@anthonyhero9605]

Don't get me wrong it's an amazing figure without a doubt the Hydra Stomper, but the whole fact of it being a fixed posed figure immediately killed it for me, what a total waste of a opportunity on such an amazing figure that could have been so much more, the amount of possiblity is a central necessity when it comes to 1/6 scale figures, why would they make a brick covered in detail that's no different from having an actual statue of the same thing for less. 🤦

[@JustinsCollection]

Legit!

[@amusedjester]

I had to re-read the description on the Stomper when it was announced and I was positive that it was going to be the same Power pose figure; it's the reason I lost interest immediately. At the time, I thought the reason for it was so that Steve's legs can go into the cavity of the hollow mold of the legs; similar to hulkbuster without having to pay for the mechanics of that figure. Doubly disappointing how Steve is basically "refrigerated" into that torso. It's also funny that I customized the Hasbro Stomper to have an opening cockpit and hollowed the torso and it ended up exactly looking as the Hot Toys version inside. If I see the set for $300, I might pick it up. Glad to hear your voice seems back to normal.
