I often find myself coming back to Glenn’s videos after all this time. I love these videos and wonder what he’d think of the current state of marvel legends.

[@gabedakid]

same, i miss him

[@RichardRichyRickGillard]

He actually looks like Sloth from The Goonies, but more villainous (the BAF one)

[@Shin27ecstasy]

+Richard Gillard He should've came with a baby ruth accessory

[@BarryFrancis]

I was going to say the exact same thing.

[@z0m813]

he really does lol

[@RockNerd231]

Wasn't Bruce's dad in 2003 Hulk movie supposed to also be something like Absorbing Man? Or his powers was something like that.

[@GlennWebbVideos]

Ergh yeah blocked that out

[@therealelectro16]

+Glenn Webb you and me both lol !

[@RockNerd231]

Glenn Webb Don't blame ya for doing so! haha.

[@narutouzumaki-ly9qe]

+Glenn Webb vc fala portugues

[@MoCa1979Jr]

1. Ben Reilly Spider-Man (the interchangeable head & hands makes him like 2 figures in 1 & he's a nice figure) 2. Spider-Gwen (her interchangeable head makes her like 2 figures in 1. Plus her hoodie is cool) 3. Jack O Lantern (his pumpkin head looks cool & his accessories give him man posing possibilities) 4. Morbius (he has a unique look) 5. Venom (I have the Marvel Select version, which is superior, But I like his head accessories) 6. Beetle (she has no accessories & is basically like Wasp) 7. Speed Demon (he's just a bland figure, even with the Silvermane head accessory)

[@skabcat242]

I like the marvel comics history facts you share in these reviews.

[@MrMegaman0607]

The old Toybiz one is probably the best. Nice sculpt, good paint and articulation. Especially the paint part, what with Legends severely lacking in that department lately.

[@richardlcastillo]

quality review, very thorough. I like the fact you have a utilitarian approach to actually purchasing the figures to play with, not just collect and pose. No one does that, and I watch all these review videos. Great points, good show old chap. keep em comin, and make mine marvel!

[@edvincarpio127]

great video! And by the way, that overly sculpted torso is actually a reuse of the Terrax baf. Also seen in the Dormammu. Just something to note I guess

[@carlhicks9327]

The head sculpt with the popped out eye reminds of the the Colossal man.

[@Mekboy_ComputerMonster]

A solid conclusion to a GREAT line of figures! (Though I think ill give my Absorbing man that toybiz ball and chain. Seems like a better fit) I honestly hope we get a Titania BAF or normal figure to go alongside with her darling, dumb headed husband.

[@ColloteGarcia]

+computermonster1 titania is suposed to have a normal female body not big enoug for a baf i supose

[@lionelmessigician6172]

Fun fact: The Name Morbius was used for both a English show called dr who in Tom bakers reign and a marvel Villan for spider man!

[@prophet924]

Well Ben is pretty awesome. My pick of the wave is Speed Demon as 1, then Ben, then Jack. I articulated the old Hasbro ball and chain by running one of those wire ties that the figures in package. It works fine. I think the sculptors were going for that first appearance look. But man those eyes are really off. Great review.

[@willie9084]

These spiderman waves are just getting better and better! I'm hoping for a classic Doc ock and lizard for the next one!

[@GlennWebbVideos]

I'd be so in on both of those

[@ColloteGarcia]

+willie weasel im hoping for a sandman with this body mold and similar intechangable arms stile

[@thewildking999]

lol its like hasbro read your comment because they did exactly that just no reguluar hands :(

[@thewildking999]

vand also ands enterchangeble hands +Coyote Garcia

[@zayahdarae2898]

Glenn Webb Oh my gosh I'm about to cry R.I.P

[@cmaprice]

I do actually love the brick leg on the previous Creel. I wish there had been an alternate leg on the BAF to emulate it.

[@JAYREKLESS]

Great review as always. My favorite of the line at the moment would have to be Ben Riley as well. Don't have the set yet but him and Spider Gwen are my most sought after.

[@thelonebricker662]

The Hills Have Eyes is exactly what I thought of when I saw that head sculpt. Luckily there is a second head because that one looks a lot better.

[@ta21l]

He can actually spread his legs wider with both feet on the ground. Along with his ankle pivot there's a hidden upper ankle swivel. You just have to tinker with it and force the joints to move for a wider stance.

[@lindyxmjh4589]

I love this wave, and when I get them all I will build Absorbing Man, but if he doesn't blow me away as a great must own figure he's definitely getting sold off ASAP.

[@lmw4420]

You will never be forgotten Glenn 😧 WE MISS YOU.

[@starblaststudios]

hey glenn. any tips on how to titen or loosen joints??

[@goliathandwasp]

Thanks Glenn great review i recently bought this wave plan on getting another Spider Gwen

[@grizzlybilbo]

ben Riley is my favourite out of tgis wave but we need captain Britain of union jack plz hasbro

[@grizzlybilbo]

this*

[@grizzlybilbo]

+James M (iNsaneMilesy) you are my hero

[@jacobchanza6163]

Wow,he looks like one of the Coneheads. (Does anyone remember that movie?)

[@paulofernandesroberto9336]

Jacob Chanza Late as hell but I love that movie! So nostalgic!

[@stoopiosproductions3130]

Yeah, and I think the cone heads were real people, too, not just a movie.

[@themercwithaandroid1491]

@Lird Sherpez really, you dont know conehead? Damn i feel old.

[@yobama6052]

I'm 9 and yes

[@claysartofthedreaming]

If you were to make another custom figure, I thought it would be cool if you customized a spiderman 2099, but the suit with the white mask.

[@lowlypeasant]

It would be great if Glenn customized a proper Absorbing Man.

[@kenziebeaumont9277]

Great Vid Glenn as always. I was wondering if you could do some more WWE figure reviews as I'm starting to collect them and I'd love to know which one to get and avoid

[@jenniferdavis6774]

The first Marvel Legend I ever got was the Ben Reilly Spider-Man and the articulation on it is just perfect and it comes with the Carnage hands and head so it's basically two figures in 1

[@kuldipbinning1989]

great review, are the arms same as the recent Odin BAF?

[@SymbiSpidey]

Yeah, this is a difficult wave to rank. Pretty much all of the figures are pretty damn close, with none being even remotely bad. Hasbro did a fantastic job with this wave. My personal ranking: 1. Ben Reilly Spider-Man 2. Venom 3. Morbius 4. Jack O Lantern 5. Beetle 6. Spider-Gwen 7. Speed Demon Even still I'm not sure of these rankings lol

[@elijahmainville6209]

This is probably going to be my favorite wave

[@DarkCaveStudios]

I love watching the custom figure making videos but I have one question. How do you decide what to use as a base figure? for example, when you did groot and used the wrestling figure what made you decide to use that base figure?

[@GlennWebbVideos]

It was cheap and had coloured joints to match the paint id planned to use so no paint rub

[@LUPIGUETES]

MUY BUENAS FIGURAS Y EXCELENTE VIDEO . GRACIAS

[@ultramaximusreviews]

Absorbing man looks like Sloth from The Goonies LOL - my worst to best list would be: #7 Speed Demon, #6 Beetle, #5 Spider-Gwen, #4 Morbious, #3 Venom, #2 Jack O Lantern, #1 Spider-Carnage... and that wrecking ball from the other figure looks WAY better with this Absorbing man with the metal arm.....

[@muscleman516]

hey nice review , they are all accurate comic book adaptations he has worn the purple in comics, my person favorite is the hulk classics, and also he can increase his size when certain energies are absorbed as seen in the early quazar run where he grew as big as a building and also again in recent years when he fought the silver surfer

[@stoopiosproductions3130]

This man is dead

[@sethstrattan7380]

Can the TOYBIZ ball and chain fit the hasbro baf

[@flamekaizer8476]

it's easier to find heroine then it is to find Spider-Gwen

[@flamekaizer8476]

was it like this 08?

[@JJPlayzGames]

+Flame Kai'zer I got Spider-Gwen but not Venom surprisingly

[@flamekaizer8476]

Lucky you, where'd you find it?

[@thedoodovaryondeer3003]

I found Venom this past week but I'm going to buy it this week.

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

I had that toybiz one and the hulk hand was enlarged at forarm

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I like the look of this BAF. The size is a bit much, but it kinda reminds me of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon, which fits the tone of the recent legends figures all looking pretty animated in their appearance. I think I prefer the head on the Hulk Classics figure, but the purple pants of the new one really looks better to my eyes as far as appearance. Good BAF, they seem to be really hitting the ball out of the park with these Spider-Man waves. I hope the upcoming X-Men wave gets the same treatment, because I'm all in if the figures are as good as this wave has been.

[@thejokes1461]

To the right

[@malachyhinchliffe1737]

OK thanks for the response that just made my day

[@alexgiordano5915]

Good Build a figure , but my favorite is ''toy biz'' version

[@Marvellite]

1. Absorbing man 2. Beetle 3. Venom 4. Speed demon 5. Spider carnage 6. Jack o lantern 7. Spider Gwen 8. Morbius because his legs really suck

[@studlygrish]

the Absorbing Man is only 6 ft 6 inches and 350 lbs in Marvel comics. He should be the Wrecking crew size. I customer a Pile driver into the Absorbing Man with some flesh and silver paint and B.A.F head . Gwenpool ball

[@ghostygamez1535]

R.I.P. Glenn Webb

[@chrismedina4340]

can I have the Hulk's Classics absorbing man with the button on its back

[@schwarzenigga5327]

The arms are the best part in my opinion

[@sandraportella6384]

What character of captain america 3 Are you expecting?

[@renfieldnoel9103]

can you use the extra odin arm you got with the machine man for a normal absorbing man?

[@SymbiSpidey]

+renfield noel Technically, you could, the arm fits into the socket. The problem is that the arm is way too small compared to the rest of the figure and there's a pretty sizeable gap between the shoulder and the torso so it'll look pretty ugly.

[@renfieldnoel9103]

+SymbiSpidey oh OK thanks

[@mth1022]

That Absorbing Man from the Hulk Classics looks a bit like George "The Animal" Steele....EDIT: Upon further research, maybe I'm thinking of "The French Angel" Maurice Tillet.

[@GlennWebbVideos]

Ha yeah you're right he does

[@Dork_Knight96_]

this is really random but, is anyone else excited that WE GET A NEW 90'S ROGUE FIGURE NEXT MONTH?!

[@lindyxmjh4589]

+Jokin_a_box You mean the Legends? I thought it wasn't coming out with the rest of the Captain America wave?

[@Dork_Knight96_]

+lindyxmjh as far as I know, it was coming February 2016. unless it changed or something that's all it said.

[@ta21l]

Her along with the X Men wave will be revealed in February at Toyfair. I think she will be released around May

[@GlennWebbVideos]

The X-men legends are the most excited I've been about the line

[@TheBronySpidermanFan]

If you ask me Least to greatest: Beetle Speed demon Jack o lantern Morbious Spider Gwen Venom And Ben Reilly spiderman

[@jpperron1835]

i wonder if the head sculpt was inspired by Michael Berryman

[@jpperron1835]

LOL just got to the part where you said the same thing

[@camscustoms6933]

How come on Amazon one of these figures are like £90

[@malachyhinchliffe1737]

when are you doing another action figure evolution

[@GlennWebbVideos]

+Malachy Hinchliffe soon-ish if I can source the figures I need for it and have the funds to buy them

[@jaedyncartagena7805]

can I have the absorbing man with 6 the Hulk

[@CromesKingdom]

does the baf share the terrax body?

[@Mekboy_ComputerMonster]

Yes it does~

[@ColloteGarcia]

+CromesTheLegend! the legs and absorbing arms are new doe

[@ArcanRedd]

Glenn, here in America we have a jail where prisoners are made to wear pink uniforms.

[@marvelsomething282]

So I guess this is gonna become sandman now, huh.

[@kicobian]

hey Glenn if you want the toy biz absorbing man figures ball and chain to be possible you should go check out the video made by a channel called Zubbie she has a video on how to make chain accessories poseable you should go check it out if you want to :)

[@aidtoyz7912]

RIP my friend

[@Hulk_collecter.27]

Still here glen

[@chadpotts4456]

I think that ultimate spider beetle

[@chadpotts4456]

is cooler to me

[@mymomsucksful]

Rip glen

[@eyeballpaul700]

getting a sloth mix coneheads vibe

[@JAR369]

That guy reminds me of Sloth from the goonies

[@spoiledmilkfilms4164]

RIP

[@DRAGOINTHEHOUSE]

toybiz FTW, love the paint and sculpt , Hasbro's are both trash

[@muisverriet]

The new Hasbro one is much better than the old Toybiz Hulk Classics one. People need to stop worshipping Toybiz so much.

[@K7-LEETHA]

Maybe that’s part of the punishment 😀

[@ethanworley5395]

hi

[@marleyabstract9263]

kinda reminds me of sloth from the goonies

[@thecasualguy6009]

Sloth love chunk

[@studlygrish]

this figure is too big! He is a normal size man ( but built) but he's not 7 or 8 feet tall

[@Knox8386]

LOOKS LIKE ARJEN ROBBEN

[@yospiderz1574]

BAF

[@denver3894]

Second

[@OpticBlast-yk5hf]

the neutral head looks like sloth from goonies.

[@kendellcleveland6165]

Can I have SPIDER MAN

[@louiemaepaz7657]

Looks like the gipsy in drag me to hell

[@wogga2320]

does Glenn have a P.O.box i want to send fan mail

[@GlennWebbVideos]

No not right now. Maybe soon. They're kinda pricey though

[@wogga2320]

OK, i have always wanted to talk to you!! XD

[@wogga2320]

i also live in america

[@tangojuang]

How in the ass did you rank venom so low oh my lord

[@Kendo121e]

The old ones metal arms are better And why would he only transform half his arm? Old are better

[@jmiles718]

+Kendo121e It makes more sense tbh because he doesn't need his whole arm to hit someone hard and also it looks like his arm is in the state of absorbing

[@muisverriet]

The new one actually looks like he's absorbing materials whereas the other one just looked like he had regular metal arms like Winter Soldier.

[@muisverriet]

Also, wich older one are you referring to? The toybiz or hasbro one?

[@Kendo121e]

Jarmo Verriet Toybiz

[@theivoryhermit]

Great review. Another crappo BAF from Crapbro!!

[@jotadejuan9974]

marvel have a serious problem with sizes. Dont respect the heroes. ;y Marvel legends Collection look like definitly crazy

[@t0ybandit113]

K0ol

[@dxxdindior1539]

Looks like he absorbed some plastic

[@louiemaepaz7657]

Coneheads

[@studlygrish]

this figure is too big! He is a normal size man ( but built) but he's not 7 or 8 feet tall
