Marvel Legends BLACK PANTHER Action Figure Review

Hasbro makes the capes hard as a rock, but Wolverine's claws soft as butter

I would love to see what Mafex would do with a comic style Black Panther. It would be way better than anything hasbro could hope to do.

[@dubbela07]

I would say it’s only a matter of time until Mafex takes a crack at it. They’ve been doing a lot of classic comic book characters.

[@JohnnyBlaze_616]

Hasbro still has the best comic classic Thor.

[@jerklesirkfourthreezeronin5125]

@@JohnnyBlaze_616 I don't know about hasbro, Mafex does have a very solid thor but my pick for best comic thor has to go to marvel select. The giant hammer swinging accessory was so cool that both hasbro and mafex ripped it off.

[@jerklesirkfourthreezeronin5125]

@@dubbela07 I hope mafex makes a ghost rider or punisher since hasbro can't seem to get them right.

[@Mattyboy-dn4oo]

@@JohnnyBlaze_616Aesthetically, I prefer the Legends one, but as an action figure I prefer Mafex. The amount of accessories it comes with gives it more playability and the pose-ability is much better. Legs aren’t gummy and he can actually lean back and forth.

[@macmacbsu6144]

Lol I have the old toybiz version of that costume and honestly I think they did a better job 15+ years ago

I think a lot of toybiz figz still beat hasbro legends

[@alexkuieck6705]

My high school colors were black and gold. Unfortunately gold isn't necessarily cheap, so quite often school merch was black and yellow instead, which can come off quite jarring if it isn't done properly. You saw that in a lot of merch, and in this figure too.

[@Peasham]

As someone who recently bought a Hasbro Fortnite figure, it amazes me how superior those tend to be in comparison to damn near every Mavel Legends figure I've ever seen. I have no idea what they're doing.

[@jamainwilkins5100]

@@Bogey_BobI think it’s these other lines that brings down their budget

[@gaebril131]

Licence fee is probably enormous and/or Hasbro thinks Marvel fans will gladly pay extra just for being Marvel

[@magicmirror8627]

[@toyrizo]

People are sleeping on the Fortnite figures! Really hope that line keeps going

[@doctorgiovanni853]

Black & Gold Black Panther (from the comics) is my favourite Black Panther look as well. Pity Hasbro could not translate the character‘s badass aesthetic from the pages of the comics to a tangible, three-dimensional, gummy PVC action figure. Vintage Hasbro! Eh, this figure might be worth picking up… that is, at a considerable discounted price. Grazie, 👍 Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧🇮🇹

[@ReeceHoward06]

I still have the Toybiz version of this figure. I was excited when thus was initially announced, but noticed how cheap looking this was in comparison to the Toybiz one. Bro...20+ years ago and Hasbro still hasn't produced a Black Panther figure better than what Toybiz did. THAT is pathetic.

[@diehardcubs11]

Just commented about this. I remember that figure. 20 years older and it’s better in EVERY way possible 🤣

[@chewymew]

4:10 I wouldn't put it past them. It sucks having to deal with bricks as capes, same with the hair.

[@diehardcubs11]

Toybiz wasn’t perfect but just put this one side by side with the black/gold toybiz Black Panther and see the striking difference in detail…

[@ReeceHoward06]

The fact that the Toybiz one has a soft cape too...lol

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks for the review on this one Anthony. Its 2024, and I would still trade in that cape and yellow paint for a head portrait of T'Challa.

[@Maugrim76]

Here's an idea... what if Jada Toys got the license for a couple of years? Jada Toys Marvel Legends.

[@jimwheeler9840]

One of my fave looks of any comic character, not just BP. And while I find the fig "acceptable" there are just so many half-axx measures with this, especially that pathetic plastic necklace and the unpainted alt hands.

[@jetheeman96]

I got mine last week, is there a way to take the cape off by chance?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Not without modification

[@DJNoGood]

The black and grey version from the Wakanda Forever line is almost the Same Figure with a shorter cape and no yellow/gold jewels! Captain America: Civil War made me excited for Black Panther who was just meh at that point to me as a character. The solo movie was good… until the final VFX Disaster of a final fight! Should have kept the fight as real as possible! That’s what made his first appearance SoOo Dang Good!

[@gaebril131]

Idk if I'd get mad about the WF figure existing. It's also a valid retro comic look. Lots of characters have slightly different costumes

[@LT200913]

I definitely agree BP's 1st live action appearance in Captain America: Civil War was the best and true to the comics

[@btrrrrr8061]

Thinking about picking one up to make a Spawn custom using a ML

[@henryjosephsarmiento8568]

Thanks for another great review. Was on the fence on this but once again, you helped me save money 😅

[@Hilltopperpete]

Are you going to pick up the Revoltech Black Panther? The design is definitely not classic and much closer to the MCU, but it's also one of the cooler figures I've seen, and the articulation is vastly improved from the 1.0 Revoltech designs. I feel like pretty much every Hasbro figure of late pretty much fits the evaluation of "Meh, I guess I have one now".

[@APG2112]

I wonder how closely connected this is to esg scores?

[@TheDalinkwent]

You just saved me some money. Not being able to remove the cape is a deal breaker.

[@UniversalLevelThreat]

The Toybiz version blows this out of the water it's a joke

[@YeikobSegura]

Anthony, I want you please to confirm this please! I've noticed most Marvel Legends have a longer leg than the other or idk what it is, cause I've been having problems standing them up and they tend to lean to their right. I have this issue with Captain America 20th Anniversary Black Panther gray and black from Wakanda Forever Classic Loki from the Vintage Collection And now the Vision from this same wave! Is so annoying cause they can't even stand in vanilla pose.

[@YeikobSegura]

Vision and Black Panther share the same mold so there's that, I think Cap and Loki share the same legs (not the same as Black Panther and Vision)

[@AnthonysCustoms]

When that happens with Legends it's usually just a qc issue with one of the pegs. I mention it when i review a figure with that problem. None recently though

[@maxappelman]

the most recent doctor strange figure also had the cape glued to the chest

[@spidey3061]

This is so disappointing. This is my very favorite look for Black Panther and I’ve been dying for a new version of it. When I saw the pictures I was like, “Well, maybe I can paint the gold parts myself” but the rest is just meh too. Might just play clearance chicken with this one. Also, unrelated to this video, are you planning to do a review of Mafex Magneto? I’m curious of your thoughts on it. I know you don’t do Mafex regularly.

I think the sentinel fighting armor black panther is probably the best one .

[@stlancaandsonstoys3123]

Awesome video Anthony and 6/10 was very generous 😂

[@AnthonysCustoms]

6 for Marvel Legends too. I could've gone lower

[@stlancaandsonstoys3123]

Lol I know right 😆

Been needing a comic Panther so I can't wait to see this on clearance, which will be soon enough, it seems.

[@aspot306]

Storm would be maybe the best line to do Marvel to be honest with their vision of muscular figures, very very good paint and good proportions.

[@RadtechCustoms175]

@@suhtangwong I'm just thinking about how storm does the anatomy.

[@ReeceHoward06]

@@suhtangwong Definitely not true. It usually depends on the brand when it comes to the short and stubby look. The Ultra Street Fighter II versions of Ryu and Ken suffer that...(really the only figures I know of that suffer that) But all of their King of Fighters figures are spot on from what they are referencing. The Tekken ones also are really good, with Jin being the only one with an oddly sized head. I think you are judging the line based on a small minority of figures tbh. Also, Mafex shows you that people will absolutely pay $100+ if the quality is there. With Storm, you get more bang for your buck than Mafex anyways. Imagine getting a Mega Optic Blast effect with Cyclops! Bro....

[@graefx]

This used to be my favorite and it was the look i was first exposed to. But after the JRJR miniseries and EMH, the classic, or I guess neo classic, look became my favorite. I was decently happy with the last release. After the training suit Xmen having keyed straps, the loose bracelets are just insulting.

[@Radioactive457]

Is there a black panther look that’s all black but just white eyes

We can't take the cape off and it keeps coming out of the peg... Yeah, Idk how to actually handle him except to have him on the shelf... Otherwise, his cape maybe torn apart lolllm

[@TheHairyGorilla]

First I noticed it on Angel... but now can't stop seeing how oversized their open hands are, Angels hands look bigger than his head. On this one it brings his fingers half way down his leg.

[@ausonius100]

This is a great Legends figure! I like it a lot.

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

This is my favourite look for Black Panther, but the unpainted yellow plastic just looks awful. It's not even a hard paint job to do, Hasbro are just that lazy and cheap. The cape not being removable sucks too given how heavy it is (definitely feel like you're right about the plastic used btw). I was thinking about getting this guy, but I'm gonna stick to the recent Black Panther. The way the cape is done ruins this for me.

[@__-wm9lu]

Finally glued the cape down, but on a character where it should be removable

@@suhtangwong what

[@rabidhammer31]

Black and blue is my favorite look and yeah movie wise his first suit was the best.

[@LycanTroop3]

Oh look, another custom batman body lol

[@Vintage-Bob]

I sorta like the character design, but that design with the claws and all that came in long after I stopped reading. I'm a 60's, 70's and partial 80's reader. As for the yellow vs. gold color, I have the opposite complaint. I HATE, absolutely DESPISE that nasty mustard yellow "gold" they used for Nova. It looks so dull and boring on the shelf. I want the COMIC BOOK characters, so I want the colors to POP! And this Black Panther certainly does pop! I also don't mind him not having a blue wash because Hasbro always screws that up anyway, and an all-black Black Panther with popping yellow armored parts just looks dynamic to me.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

A cape, especially one with a massive collar that impedes his sight, makes no sense for an agile character. I prefer the stripped back version sans cape and with blue boots and gloves. At this point I'd be happy if Jada got the Legends licence, or maybe made their own superhero figs. Without a licence they could make em even cheaper.

[@ReeceHoward06]

The cape is for the more regal aspect of his character... He is a king afterall.

[@braydenpage1808]

I'll probably just buy the previous comic Black Panther that came out during Black Panther 2 because it's only around $16 on Amazon.

[@noahmuller8683]

Yeah I Strongly Agree it’s Like Hasbro Wanted To get This Classic Royal Black Panther Figure Over With Which is one of the reasons they didn’t put no effort into this potential release Ridiculous!

[@karnagec7]

C'mon Anthony, you're too harsh! They are just a 1-2 year old company finding their wa..o wait... nevermind.

[@BonesEye42]

I like the MCU one that had purple accessories.

[@julianhayden9961]

Black panther showed up in civil war

[@Mattyboy-dn4oo]

My favorite look is the one form the Reginald Hall series. John Romira Jr did the art for him. Thankfully the first Black Panther from the Attuma Wave matches that look so I don’t need this one. That said, this figure looks cheap and boring as all hell. Even the gold pieces look clunky and not really gold. Don’t really see the point in having this.

[@zoomflight3115]

"The good news is it exists" lol

[@ihavenoclevername8300]

Is it the greatest black panther figure??? No! Of course not but as someone who’s building an avenger display…I will be grabbing this one I might take that cape off or cut it short and do the same to the collar

[@jamainwilkins5100]

I'm passing on this. I can cause he has no BAF piece. I have most of this wave. I think you're going to have a field day with of disappointment with Namorita. Matter of fact, you possibly will credit Crystal. I don't know. I think you may call Power Princess the better of the whole wave. LOL I like to guess to see if I am right and if I picked up on thing things I think you would like and dislike. Power Princess feels like the most effort was put in. I don't hate Vision..I mean he is okay. I needed one. But when you compare him to Dimond selects Vision, I can see how Vision could have been better. I don't have Namor yet. But something about his face looks off. But that's just me being comic-picky. The worst is Namorita. I'm not even going to count the fact it is the wrong version of her to use for those who want to finish New Warriors. And sadly that goes for Vance. People need the Marvel Boy version. Not the Justice version.
