If every Legends figure came with this minimal amount of new sculpting and paintwork, I would buy way more Legends. Just that little bit makes such a huge difference and it's how Legends used to be and should be now.

[@benjacarrasco9447]

Nigga, thats literally what theyr doing nowadays

[@notamethadict]

is this a joke

[@TheMarvelousLoukas]

Facts

[@brycebitetti1402]

Hasbro is allergic to making functional double ball neck joints.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

For real. They make some weird decisions sometimes

[@obi-onekenerdi]

That’s what I’ve been saying !!! They’re the best way to engineer a neck to work and Hasbro is just averse to learning to very bare minimum basics of action figure engineering. It’s really baffling. I hate giving money to this horrid company.

[@DanB.0]

So nice you brought up the original version and appreciated it as it helped getting the line where it is. The new version is not half bad! The metallic blue looks terrific but I feel the original version has a better presence, dunno. I salute him goodbye hehe Cool you modified it!

[@thebaker525]

Bucky Cap and Iron Patriot were the figures that got me back into Legends. I can’t wait until we get a new Patriot on the extremis mold.

[@adrielterrazas8081]

[@rakimanzo02]

For the comparisons, replace pizza spidey with Karnak.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

How dare you…

[@rafaelteodoro5687]

Karnak should be Wade's mascot

Original Bucky Cap deserves a nice retirement and a spot in the Marvel Legends Hall of Fame.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Yes! Hall of Fame Status for Buck! Top 3 most important Legends figure of all time

[@paulrippcord506]

Artwittoys did a fantastic tutorial on how to get more range on the Vulcan body, basically it’s just dremelling out more from the front and back of the channel where the butterfly joint cap sits.

[@juansanchez209]

Looks great, but I’m waiting for a truly classic Bucky figure to pair alongside my 20th Anniversary Cap. A WWII Invades display with a new Bucky, 20th Cap, Okoye wave Namor, and a new Jim Hammond Human Torch would be money!

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Man I would freaking love a Human Torch, Classic Bucky and someone crazy like Destroyer or Whizzler in a 3 pack! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JohnSmith-si7ry]

Amazing fantasy Spider-Man and the new bulky

[@FrankW1029]

love the new intro. and congrats on the kickstarter hitting the mark!

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Yooo! Thank you so much! Yeah DGDX did a great job on the intro!

[@pheralvrz]

For the neck peg, what I like to do is dip the neck in hot water until the neck peg is soft enough that you can bend it backwards so you an arch it a bit and hold it til it cools off and boom now it can look all the way up, and for the shoulders again dip them in hot water pop them off cut the extra piece on the peg pop them back in and boom now the buttlerfly arcticulation is not hindered

[@rafaelteodoro5687]

The design on Bucky Cap reminds me a lot of the Alex Ross Spider-Man concept art

[@yoScott53]

The og has a special place in my heart. That's when I got into collecting.

[@theleftisttimemachine8196]

Great review, Wade! This is a figure I'd love to get my hands on, especially since I've never owned the original Bucky Cap figure. Though, I gotta keep my excitement in check because with this being a Walmart expensive, there's more than a fair chance I'll never see one on the shelf. As always, I appreciate your work, man! Keep it up!

[@caseysmith3329]

I like how the knife pouch has the appearance of being even around the edges as well as the pistol holder’s distressed leather look.

[@blue-hoodedspartan3898]

double dumbells work but Hasbro places them lower in the neck and covers up the hole limiting the range

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

That's true. They have not mastered it.

[@themotivatedmaycry9120]

The Bucky Capt suit is so damn beautiful

[@Springi111]

RIP original Bucky cap and pizza Spider-Man, we will miss you

[@TheMarvelousLoukas]

I’m just happy we finally have a cap with butterfly joints

[@vascotoys]

Great review Wade! I didn't pre-order this guy or the new Black Widow and hope I can get them.

[@mrchinotheshoecollector4324]

Great job and details on the figure. 100% agree with you. Hasbro has stepped up in their designs and details,etc

[@brianmacfarlane9553]

Dope review Wade!!

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Thank you sir!!!

[@roger1296]

Totally agree…great review. The butterfly modification is heaven sent…watched that tutorial few days ago.

[@Static1583]

Best Captain Puerto Rico I’ve ever seen 😂

[@jordonnelson7980]

Also, agreed. We need a good Commander Rogers on this body with a better headsculpt

[@jeanlucacanomontiel4824]

I think you can shorten the pegs on the arms to get the full range from the butterfly joints. I've done that with the Walmart Spider-man, Amazing fantasy and even the Black Series Jedi Survivor Cal Kestis

[@stridin]

Thanks for the review

[@nathankwon2484]

I'm actually alright with the articulation. I'm just having a hard time ignoring the grooves on the forearms. Same for the animated Cyclops.

[@drewcraig2914]

Need it.

[@rodneysessoms8804]

Great review my friend, I'm sold even though I still own the original ML Bucky Cap from Return of Marvel legends

[@jasonpatchen1912]

[@browniejacobg8172]

Really good review man!

[@jesusfernandez974]

Looks really cool, nice review man 👍.

[@braydenpage1808]

The Vulcan body's super limited butterfly joints make me appreciate the Sunfire body. I bought the Astonishing Ant-Man figure and was pleasantly surprised at it's butterfly range. Since it's on the Sunfire buck it's butterflies can go all the way forward and back. I wish the Vulcan could have the superior butterfly range of the Sunfire.

[@fernandodelgado4329]

Bucky Barnes aka Bucky Cap aka Captain America looks dope especially the head sculpt, shield, and paint on the figure, I don't have this figure but to me, I will try to get the new comic Target exclusive Black Widow, Astonishing, Ant Man, and Extremis Iron Man, Overall, Awesome review on this fun Bucky Cap figure Wade

[@obi-onekenerdi]

That metallic blue looks so nice !! Hasbro is legitimately good at painting metallics, one of the ONLY things they’re consistently good at.

[@Killroy090392]

Apologies for the long comment but yeah Double ball peg joints are actually far better than hinge joints as they add for more dynamic posing and slight expressions like moving the head down to the right or left of the body for intimidating or serious poses. The problem is that Hasbro doesn't know how to make a good functional double ball peg because they are lazy and set the ball peg too far down AnthonysCustoms has shown how much better double ball pegs are to hinge joints. If you remove some of the plastic on neck it will greatly increase movement but we shouldn't have to fix our figures because of Hasbro's incompetence, same goes for the butterfly joints, if heat it up and pop the joint off all you need to do is cut the peg smaller and increases the range on the Vulcan body mold. Hell even double ball peg on torsos is better then ab crunch, pretty much every import company and NECA has shown how much better they are, but at the end of the day it comes down to Hasbro's laziness that interview on Sharts channel showed how big their egos are and get annoyed when asked hard questions like price increases with no added value to justify it.

[@herbertbaker9522]

Oh yeah!

[@zillax305]

I see FWOOSH did a video where he mod the butterfly joint on Vulcan

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Artwittoys did one that maintains the stability a bit more. The cutting pegs method works too but it can leave the shoulders a bit wobbly Check out Artwittoyz method here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faDZmqR9rM-Ma9U

[@oneofcoryXkenshinsamurai]

How do you get you figuurs loseand how do you pose them so good with the picks❤

[@jordonnelson7980]

We need a Steve Rogers on this body! Do it a bit differently than the classic Cap and base it off his current suit in the Sentinel of Liberty series where the boots and gloves are more modern looking

[@MrHemanclix]

I did the shoulder fix on mine. for me I would rather have the range of movement on the figure. what will you do about the neck? seems like swapping that dumbbell for a hinge would be a lot of work

[@Jose-vv9cc]

Question on the mod - is this mod better than the one where you clip the pin? Not sure which one to do, clipping the pin is way easier of course. Also, dude looks slimer than Vulcan or is it just me? I guess they are using different shoulders, I'm up for that Great figure, great review!

[@obi-onekenerdi]

You don’t need the lower neck joint to make a double ball peg work. If you do it right it should work fine on its own and is superior in every way to the stupid disc hinge. It allows for far more range and nuanced posing than a disc hinge ever will. A proper double ball peg has all the movement in the bottom joint (a large ball) and the top joint is there for slight adjustments (small peg). Hasbro designs it in reverse where there give not only a gigantic ball at the top and not only a tiny ball at the bottom, but they also do themselves a disservice by burying the stupid peg as far as it’ll go down inside the neck. Thus it’s smothered and surrounded by unnecessary plastic, and therefore it has nowhere to go. If they made the bottom ball bigger and brought it up closer to where the head and neck connect to each other then it would work properly. You don’t need that stupid ugly notch like they do for Spider-Man figures sometimes. If they did it right they wouldn’t need the notch at all.

[@Ohm3gaw3apon13]

If the bottom ball peg on the neck is bigger and doesn’t sit deeper on the neck, the head will have a wider range. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@WyattsPerspective]

This fig is amazing he may not be as iconic as the og Bucky cap, but if I’m honest he is 1000000 times better!!

[@konglovetoys]

amazing figure!!! but man, we need better head sculpt in my opinion.

[@spidersupremetm-kt9bl]

awssome captain americavfigure dude

[@RichardAcevedo2814]

aghhh so frustrating that we need to dremel out the neck and clip the arm pegs on all of these to improve their range of articulation.

[@marcusyee2211]

Solid review Wade 🔪🔪🔪🔪 this looks pretty great

[@scruffynerd84]

That butterfly joint excuse of safety standard is BS, if you go back some older legends on Wolverine, pizza spiderman, and sunfire bodies, they are just simple peg that goes into shoulder. While doing customs you see that newer figures arm peg extends to a rail that has to be keyed into which was not there on older body molds. Which means they don't want people changing or removing parts.

[@caseysmith3329]

His sculpt and color almost make him look like an import.

[@chattyishere]

yo bro will you review mafex scarlte spier?

[@suhtangwong]

Hasbro: You can have your cake (butterfly joints) Also hasbro: but you can't eat it! Muhahaha (super limited articulation 🤦🏿‍♂️)

[@munizbros999]

Looks cool but I wish the shoulders were bigger

[@MP3DK76-kn1op]

Have a nice retirement Bucky Cap & Pizza Spider-Man. Great knowing y'all.

[@thomasvanger5644]

That's Hasblow. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.

[@Goldfish_bag]

A Spider-Man on the Vulcan body with better range would be amazing.

[@theselectguy]

Bucky cap is great but not so great.. but i love it and it's great.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Well said!

[@xeanheart]

When it comes to replacing Pizza Spidey, I'd say go with the RYV Spider-Man, as that body seems to be a new go-to for reuse, such as with Daredevil and, most recently, Deadpool.

[@wayigotitfigured9800]

The funny thing is they put Sam Wilson on the Bucky Cap body when he's basically the same size as Steve in the comics.

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

Damn this one is nice

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

He is! Almost perfect…almost

[@Erik_Lehnsherr-MAGNETO]

We need a 2099 spidey with this body

[@maddrop]

Way better. But i think they could gave him a 1911 instead of that new pistol from the last winter soldier figure

[@bapo22]

8:32 The boots look oddly turned at the calf swivel when standing. They aren't as straight as they are on the side packaging art. To me it seems like the figure's upper boot parts are swapped. The figure's right upper boot looks like it's on the left leg in the render. He also has long legs.

[@GuyWebz]

Outside of the stupid wrist clip system, this still is a huge improvement over the previous version. The proportions look a lot better unlike the first one having a tiny peanut head and tiny little feet

[@Radioactive457]

I do prefer the blue on the original and did you sell Bucky cap and pizza spidey

[@xeno8484]

Probably not gonna be a popular opinion but I would love to see Hasbro redo the falcon Captain America with this Vulcan body mold.

[@braydenpage1808]

How come you yiu didn't compare Bucky Cap too the recent Ultimate Captain America? I think it'd be a good comparison between the most recent figure of Steve Captain America and Bucky Cap. Also, I'm curious if Bucky Cap's shield is the same larger shield that was released with Ultimate Cap. That's my main complaint with Commander Rodgers, he reused the smaller shield from 80th Cap.

[@domenicliparoti5792]

Commander rogers is not a bad figure at all but I’ll ask, Why is it a bad figure? Because it doesn’t have pinless joints or is it because it’s on an older buck?

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Both haha

[@whistlerwade]

Using clip sheild is worse than using old bucky cap ha.

[@Opsguy86]

What shield is the one on 20th Cap?

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

I think it’s from the Toybiz Face Off Cap

[@Opsguy86]

Thank you so much, looks clean. Keep up the great content!

[@mem64zzz]

Can always use the older versions of the figures as cosplayers 😀😁😂😃😄😅

[@PlastiAdicto]

Ive got a question for you. What’s the problem with that “Bucky cap” don’t mold exactly? Is the proportion? The excessive reuse? The pins? Hell of a run for those two figures you’re retiring today! 🫡

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

To me, it’s the excessive reuse. I don’t think there’s anything necessarily wrong with the body, but just after seeing it so many times in such a lazy fashion it’s kind of lost its shine. But when it first came out on Bucky, I freaking loved it, I still love that Bucky figure and always will, but Some figures that they’ve use this body on are really terrible

[@PlastiAdicto]

@@UnparalleledUniverse yeah … I’ve got a couple of figures on that mold and I really dig them … so I was curious.

[@HK-47Resurrected]

Nothing was ever wrong with Bucky cap. You can see here it has much more heroic comic proportions then this new small shoulder, long legged, huge head abomination.

[@HK-47Resurrected]

@@UnparalleledUniverse I just looked and the Bucky Cap buck was used over 80 times. I can't do Marvel Legends no more my guy. Not interested in buying Vulcan cast in a rainbow of colors 80 times.

[@hazeleduardo2354]

​​@@HK-47ResurrectedYeah, I agree with all those points you mentioned, add the fact that he's so tall that legends seem to increase half an inch every time with new figures that they're going to end up being 7" inch scale.
