MARVEL LEGENDS ANGEL X-MEN DELUXE SERIES ACTION FIGURE REVIEW

[@AMercenary...Withaheart]

Gosh, the wings' sculpt is gorgeous! This figure would complete the original classic X-Men's 5 members. I really wish they added the butterfly joints, and every flying/acrobatic figure should have butterfly joints. Great review Manny!

[@Xmanny87]

You’re welcome bro! Glad you had fun watching the review.

[@JoeyBcollects]

Finally a good reviewer with this figure. I like that they have 2 different maak designs so we can have him look different on the champions or the defenders than he does on the xmen

[@Xmanny87]

Yeah that’s why I don’t mind it as I said you get two costumes in one. I’m just not that big on the smiling head.

[@JoeyBcollects]

@@Xmanny87 I'm very excited for this figure. I'm going to repaint one of mine to have the yellow gloves and boots like he did sometimes

[@hickettsisepic989]

Angel has been my most wanted reveal since I’ve started collecting Legends about 7 years ago, so glad to see it finally happen, and it looks good to boot

[@Xmanny87]

This will sure meet or exceed your expectations when you have it in hand.

[@elonce01]

This figure is very nice. Man I can't wait until they give us a classic X-Factor team. An 80s Mutant Massacre Wave, with The Marauders would be SO rad!

[@Xmanny87]

It would be man. I’m all about team completions.

[@hrishikeshsaikia476]

Just thinking, with the peg holes for the wings in the back , it was probably difficult to put the butterflies. Not sure though .

[@Xmanny87]

It’s been done before.

[@antoineconnor5266]

Can you direct me to an example of this, cause I don’t see how both can exist in the same space at the same time

[@FREKKI]

If they still put this level of care into all their figures then the line would be thriving and it’s not even that much extra to ask for.

[@Xmanny87]

Yeah I’ve seen this care already put into the products this year. After opening the new Spidey retro wave they’ve implemented things I’ve been wanting so they are on the right track.

[@marvelfanatic9535]

This figure looks very gorgeous, and I hope to see an updated Archangel and blue suit Angel! I’m going to have fun playing with this figure!

[@Xmanny87]

You definitely will have fun when you get it. Enjoy!

[@Romir616]

that smiling head, my gawd still awesome over all

[@Xmanny87]

Bro looks like Michael Jackson a bit lol

[@The_michael_xavier]

Good to see you back Manny. Great review.

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks bro!

[@jamesfleming620]

It's definitely Phenomenal, and Excellent review, top Notch!

[@PHealey1981]

would be lovely if the Hasbro team started going with some chase figures. A blue version could be amazing.

[@tsmultiverse8956]

Bro! I was already hyped for this figure, but NOW ya got me even more so excited for this one!! Great review man!!👍👍👍

[@Xmanny87]

Awesome man! Sounds like you had fun watching the review. Thanks bro 😎 👊🏽

[@joey159213]

This is a centerpiece on the Xmen team shelf!! This looks premium aswell!

[@Xmanny87]

Absolutely! A centerpiece for sure.

[@suhtangwong]

About dang time hasbro made a angel, just wish it was the blue one with butterfly joints.

[@Xmanny87]

😎👊🏽

[@robertfalcone3025]

Im watching this again April 2024 & i just got Angel which i had pre-ordered awhile back..& looking at it in hand, IMO the smiling head sculpt makes Angel look LOBOTOMIZED! 😂😂 Other than that..i agree 💯 .. this is an AMAZING Marvel Legend..& now that i have it i can put Archangel in my X Men villains display for good!👑

[@PoilishedMahogony]

love the blue face on this body thanks for showing us what that looks like

[@Xmanny87]

My pleasure 😇

[@Cluckkent88]

Thanks for the great review can't wait for mine in Tampa FL

[@Xmanny87]

You’re welcome and enjoy it when you get it.

[@troyr4521]

I have my preorder on Amazon on lock. I'm hoping they fast track the release date. I have to add him to my X-men shelf. I'm definitely keeping my Archangel but replacing him on the shelf with Angel. X-cellent review as ever, Manny. I prefer his red costume.

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you man. I love both the red and blue costumes so if they make a blue one, I’ll alternate them on display here and there.

[@hadeslord1000]

Bright minds think alike!!😂 while I was watching your review I even said it out loud …man we need a new archangel on the Vulcan body mould ….literally 1 second later you just said it yourself!!! But it’s true we need one.

[@Xmanny87]

😂😂😂 awesome! We do need it now.

[@jasondarling1746]

Can't wait to get this. I prefer the blue version to go with my Art Adams classic x-men display (yeah, I'm that old)

[@Xmanny87]

Hey man, we all love those comic oldies.

[@solarflare9562]

Man they killed it with those wings really makes me think they could do a Betty Ross harpy figure justice

[@Xmanny87]

Yeah they did. Even though I don’t care for Mimic, they can do him too.

[@jlf508]

They should make Mimic using this sculpt for a Dark X-Men display

[@chrisjordan8109]

Looking forward to getting this but can wait for clearance, would have been cool to have battle damaged wings mold for that iconic cover

[@sakisgr1396]

I wouldn’t wait that long. This figure is already selling above retail price by sellers and might sell out…

[@sinchman1]

I like this retooled upper body mold without the butterfly joints

[@Xmanny87]

It does look nice and makes the chest look broader

[@joycoyle4242]

Loveeee the thumbnail shot X-Manny87 👏👏🙌 The wings, tho gorgeous. What an amazing video review 👏 ☺️😁 Keep it up!

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you! I’m proud of that thumbnail shot. It was smooth shooting.

[@joycoyle4242]

@Xmanny87 Anytime 😊 Also, yesss the thumbnail I agree 👍

[@anthonydarnell]

The wings and default head sculpt are 🔥 but Hasbro still using the waist swivel articulation kinda sucks for posing purposes.

[@Xmanny87]

These waist swivels don’t bother me. But on some figures depending on the aesthetics, I’d like to see the ball jointed waists.

[@nicholascorrin4648]

Happy free comic book day!! Got Angel today with a surprising 30% off!!! I was so stoked!!❤❤❤❤

[@sea_ohm11]

Can't wait for this figure. Looks great! A new Angel has in my top 5 wantlist for a long time now. I prefer the og angel look over the horsemen archangel. Also pretty sure you forgot to go over the most important articulation point for flying characters, the neck.

[@Xmanny87]

Same as Vulcan. Thats why I didn’t go over it.

[@GBru-hx6rx]

So. They can resculpt the torso to add wings or to key in Cyclops's belt straps, but they can't fill in the seams on the forearms. I see. Totally makes sense.

[@Xmanny87]

Right? 😂

[@sipioc]

Looks amazing. Am I the only one who saw Angel as the Aquaman of the X-Men? I mean he can only be useful in wide open battles. He has no real offensive abilities, until he became Archangel. His bones are hollow, it’s not like he’s super durable or enhanced outside of speed.

[@JaCA7776reee]

I hope they do something Similar for archangel, as cool as the relaxed wings are for him, I hope we get wings like this😊.

[@davidr8389]

Great review. He looks great and can’t wait to get him.

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks man!

[@uncannysculpts]

Thanks for the inspiration. I think ill make the blow back hair headsculpt and the opposite stoic and smiles for the mask that design that don't have it

[@temoharri8848]

Well it would be nice if they did the blue & white costume variant like Toybiz did back in the day. 😊

[@Xmanny87]

Crossing my fingers that they do

[@Rtor38486]

This is what I was hoping for. Only one con but looks like it would squeeze a 10 for me knowing how Hasbro has not been consistent with their products. Great review bro.

[@Xmanny87]

Oh yeah. I needed those butterfly joints though. Thanks my blood brother. Hope my nephew enjoyed it.

[@jammy0272]

Awesome 👍

[@loganus9114]

It always happens with Marvel Legends, they always fail on some crucial detail. The same with Power Princess, they could have given her a Black Window like articulation but failed to do so, and now with Angel. But at least the Wings are awesome!..

[@caseysmith3329]

Great review! I wanted blue, but very happy with this production.

[@Xmanny87]

You and me both but I love both lol can’t wait for the blue version

[@robertfalcone3025]

Great review brother! Btw I've got this Angel on pre order..as well as the Sabretooth & Patch/Joe Fixit 2 Packs .. & I just got the O.G. Archangel Deluxe & Apocalypse BAF a few months ago..I'm actually hoping that they DON'T update Archangel right away.. for my wallets sake!😂 Anyways keep up the great work.. always looking forward to your Marvel Legends review videos👑

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks bro! I don’t even know who to review next lol

[@fortressmattimus3984]

The annoying thing about the sculpt in the forearms is they sculpted it that way! I get the idea behind making the forearm into two parts, so you can easily swap the lower forearm based on the shape of the gloves they need, so that way they aren't reculpting the entire forearm each time. Only half of it. But this "gloveless sculpt" is all one piece anyway. So they could have easily sculpted the forearm without that unnecessary seam. Anyway, I'm so excited for this. Angel is one of my favorite xmen, and while I prefer the blue suit, I won't risk it. I want this now. If they turn out to make the blue suit down the road, I'll get that too and then I'll have extra wings I can use for a custom or whatever

[@Xmanny87]

Even more annoying is they already have Vulcan arms with no forearm seams in the Astonishing Cyclops but they don’t use it where it makes the most sense 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@sandman8365]

Yes! We definitely need this on the blue costume + butterfly joints!

[@Xmanny87]

Definitely!!

[@Ohcrapitsfrieza]

Great review manny aesthetic looks stellar

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@jinbrosfiguresitout3816]

I want him but I don't have a team for him in my collection but I can see they can apply that wing articulation fo a new Archangel 😁 regarding for a version of Warren that would be Fallen on from Havok Xmutant world 🤩

[@th3blackghost214]

I was lucky to find mine at a local GameStop 😁

[@rulyarmaghetto]

Bruh, you killed this one. I’m sharing. I hope they send you the blue version as a reveal. ❤

[@JustinTyme33]

I’m not a huge X-Man fan but this is just a cool action figure I can’t wait to get an mess around with.

[@Xmanny87]

Doesn’t matter if you are a big fan or not, if it’s an awesome figure, no harm in enjoying it.

[@gsuplex4859]

Would love to see if the toybiz angels wings can fit on this updated one for me the new wings are a bit of an eyesore I prefer the solid wings

[@Xmanny87]

No way can they fit, it’s completely different engineering. It would take a lot of intense customizing. Toybiz had those ugly cylindrical hinges on the back and that’s my big eye sore. lol

[@answeris746]

It’s honestly surprising they haven’t made a smooth Vulcan arm. There’s been more figures that would’ve needed it smooth then ones that needed it sculpted

[@princebloodgrave8097]

If/when the blue costume of this gets made, it'll be an immediate pick up. :D

[@Xmanny87]

Instant cop for me too

[@AlphaProto]

The engineering on the wings is beautiful.

[@Xmanny87]

Absolutely! Brilliant engineering all the way.

[@chadsorenson4555]

Good review while I would love to have Butterfly joints on the figure how could that even work if you need to plug the wings in the shoulder blade area ?

[@Xmanny87]

I’m no toy engineer but it’s doable. Look at all those Mcfarlane figures that have wings in that area with butterfly joints.

[@chadsorenson4555]

Dope .. Ive never seen one .. I don’t buy McFarland but the butterfly would be nice

[@chadsorenson4555]

@xmanny87 I will say I think McFarlane can pull it off because the extra inch plus in mass would probably give more space on the back but I’m not totally sure

[@anthonywoodroof2800]

Open hands definitely slightly oversized. Holding it in my hands now.

[@slinktan]

Got my Angel from Amazon yesterday, the left wing's connector hinge would not move or bend. I tried to heat it up, but it looks like the paint and plastic was already fused together in that section when I got it. Ordered a replacement from Amazon. Just sharing to fellow collectors to beware about this defect.

Amazing Angel Review 10/10 + The Next X-Men Deluxe Figure I Not Familiar With This Character Is Armor

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you! Armor is from the Astonishing X-Men team. I wonder how they’ll ever execute that figure.

[@czarface5615]

Ancient technology at todays prices! +10$ more for the wings!

[@doro626]

Mayne with the engineering for the wings they couldnt do butterfly because it would make things too thin between cavities adn something would break? Or maybe its would require too much tooling? Wonder if you cast these wings and make multiples?

[@diegoprieto1156]

Oh man, im so excited to get this one, looks incredible

[@Xmanny87]

Indeed it is

[@darklordmordred]

Figure looks great! I had him pre-ordered, but cancelled, as Archangel is my preferred look for Warren and I'm not an all-in collector of Legends. Speaking of X-Men, crazy that the X-Men '97 showrunner got fired before the series debuted!

[@Xmanny87]

I wonder why he got fired

[@darklordmordred]

@@Xmanny87 I dunno. There hasn't been a statement from either side, as far as I'm aware.

[@StoneyHoliday]

5:58 or you could just get action figure stands from figurelab and never have to worry about it again.

[@jammy0272]

Marvel legend angel 😇

[@waynestanley498]

I'm just guessing here but I don't think you can have both butterfly joints and peg in wings on his back w/o them getting in each others way.

[@Xmanny87]

It’s been done before. Look at Mcfarlane Toys and all the figures he’s made with wings. Butterfly joints with wings on the back.

[@waynestanley498]

@@Xmanny87I'm not saying it can't be done but the way Hasbro engineered this figure it wasn't going to work.If Hasbro did their Butterfly joints like Mcfarlane does or did something similar to Archangels wings that peg in the middle of the back, maybe, but they went another way and that way would have been problematic to have them both.

[@t00lnin]

I rellay like him, but my white isn't super clean and there are tiny red spots here and there on the limbs. Could have used another coat of paint.

[@bapo22]

8:08 They have. The X-Men '97 Wave 2 Magneto is on the Vulcan body and has new seamless forearms.

[@Xmanny87]

I get that. And also astonishing cyclops as I’ve mentioned before. I’m just saying to fix it on these characters that don’t need it depending on the design. Maybe I should’ve been a little more specific but hopefully if they ever do a blue Angel that it doesn’t have the forearm seams.

[@bapo22]

@@Xmanny87 I'm on your side. I was just saying they now have seamless Vulcan forearm molds so hopefully we don't see them do this again. Their decision on what characters get new tooling is baffling.
