Marvel Legends Ch'od Build A Figure 2023 X-Men BAF Action Figure Review

[@jamalsutton8537]

They skimped out on accessories hard on this wave

[@raidernation9920]

Ha! This wave?

[@snoopy4749]

I can see the Starjammers going the way of Alpha Flight in terms of figure release, in that you get the two arguably most popular characters from each team in waves (Sasquatch, Ch’od BAF’s and then Guardian and Corsair separately) and then the rest of the team become an Amazon exclusive boxset for triple digits in price 😂

[@darrenmoriarty5062]

Crawl credit

[@starlit_hawser11]

How many Starjammers are there? The OG team just needs two more characters; Hepzibah and Raza. Are there more?

[@snoopy4749]

@@starlit_hawser11 probably box ‘em all up in a half re-release half new characters set

[@glennmiller6759]

You know that Carol Danvers as Binary was a member of the starjammers right?

[@jjesusgutcas07111972]

The legs are the same as those of the rinho figure

[@dustintirey6122]

Nice BAFart!!!

[@aaronwiley4681]

AGAIN CH'OD.....BOLD!!!!!!!

[@sethquigley5136]

Honestly I think Emma and Cyclops are the ones I mainly want to include in my collection. Chamber I see more as potential Ghost Rider kit bash fodder. I’m usually very selective about these waves. The BAFs I’ve actually completed over these last few years are Super Skrull, Korg, Infinity Ultron, and Cosmo.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

Five fingers?!!! Is Hasbro taking the piss?!!! Aren't ML supposed to be collector pieces. They should have given Ch'od new hands and legs. The legs should have fins in the back and the same texture as the rest of the body. Thanks for the review Shartimus.

[@germanmarcelorodriguez]

I wish they did an animation of the Ch'od and Beast figures in the video

[@joshbagosh1797]

Love the video. I personally really like the figure aside from the extra finger and the not a lot of paint but I plan on adding an extra paint job on the figure so it doesn’t bother me too much.

[@davecrowson448]

I finally found Kid Omega, and it only had the BAF part inside! That’s really all I wanted, and I got it at Target, on sale at $12.99, but still. It was unopened, tape still intact and everything.

[@troyr4521]

X-cellent review as usual, Shartimus. I am so looking forward to receiving my preorder off Amazon.

[@phillipbanks4151]

I would love to see this wave as a team

[@sebasmsquare8893]

U could have done a articulate jaw figure comparison with the lizard baf and the soron baf

[@82heartofalion]

You forgot to mention that the feet and hands ARE NOT comic accurate. Pure laziness!

[@tilmonr]

Start did mention the hands. But this is classic lazy hasbro.

[@82heartofalion]

@T's Retro Reviews oh i must of missed it

[@brentwerley6762]

One thing Hasbro still seems totally clueless about for whatever reasons are paint apps for the ML line. It is SO hit or miss, and definitely doesn't appear to have any consistency of thought or theme. And when it misses, it REALLY misses. Also, this has to be one the LAZIEST representations of a character I've seen in quite a while. The fact they reused hands that don't even have the right number of appendages? C'mon. Why give us a figure we're likely never to see again with such a half-hearted effort? I'm sure because of anticipated costs/profits. Then again, we may see it as a re-issue re-package, maybe even the correct hands and better paint apps. The way they mishandled the Gamerverse Joe Fixit (how do you get the color of his skin wrong???) blows my mind. Some of these things (like Ch'od's face paint apps, seem like they could be SO easily corrected prior-production line, but whatevs.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

What's worse is the hands are a new sculpt. Plus he should have fins on the back of his calves, and I think down his spine.

[@brentwerley6762]

@@jonathanhampshire6856 I think (??) the hands are Abomination hands, just modded with the texturing on the back from what I can tell. Definitely yes on the fins for the back of his calves. And I'm pretty sure they were hoping the painted "mini-humps" on the back of the spine that were also on the Abomination figure would pass as "back fins". But this whole, "This seems to represent the character enough and we definitely want to keep production costs cheap" thing is getting OLD. Not to mention he should be closer to Hulk in height (technically was originally taller way back when). Now I will say, more contemporary images of Ch'od from comics do show a more uniform color to him overall. But did anyone really want that? Did anyone even think of that when they think of Ch'od??

[@sinchman1]

This body mold is terrible

[@tilmonr]

Don't say that to some of these people. This BAF is a classic example of hasbro being lazy. This mold is close to 10 years old. They could have created a new, bigger buck and they could have used it for a few figures (new better rhino and abomination) and i think alot of people would have been excited. They put a new head, wrong but new hands and a few small extra parts and said, hey we did our best.

[@aaronwiley4681]

Yes very terrible , and the rating should be👎👎👎👎

[@TonyMacroni633]

It’s literally a free figure

[@tilmonr]

@@TonyMacroni633 nothing is free. If it was "literally" a free figure, they would mail them out to customers. That's like saying the figures in the haslab are free. You have to pay to play.

[@calebdonaldson7044]

@@TonyMacroni633bruh what? You have to pay to get the pieces via other figures.

[@graefx]

Ch'od paint and newly sculpted pieces being wrong is such a weird issue. Its the same price as doing it wrong just more customers will like it

[@danielparra6933]

Nice figure 👌

[@ashurgoodman6351]

I'm so excited for this. One of my first toybiz marvel figures was Ch'od

[@lowlypeasant]

is he supposed to be connected to Abomination in some way? looks like the original design.

[@snoopy4749]

Nah he’s an Alien, nothing Gamma about him

[@georgetrapp6666]

@@snoopy4749 and he's an alien sort of giant fish. I do believe his name is based on Cod.

[@Jestin612]

I'd be happy to have this. But for cheap. Not going out of my way to buy it. This wave sucks hahaha

[@georgetrapp6666]

I'm glad you pronounce his name that way. I had always said it like Cod, or technically Çod, with that 'ckhh' sound. Then the X-Men cartoon came out, and they pronounced it 'choad' which is something else. I cringed and still do, whenever I hear it.

The epitome of Hasbro's lazyness shown in this wave.

so is the shart stinky or does it smell like roses

[@georgetrapp6666]

Smells like cod fish, this time.

[@gustavoOvigiadouniverso616]

Big time let down spider man is the best Marvel character of all the time

[@aaronwiley4681]

He's supposed to have four fingers!!!!!

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

I guess Hasbro felt $150 spent wasn't enough to paint the nails on this figure. Hasbro just cuts corners at the cost of their consumers.

[@danielmilliken8903]

I’m completely convinced convinced!! That hasbro is getting wrong paint jobs done and shitty figs first time on purpose I can explain its a business move power move. Most people buy first presented one then end up buying second right and Better one second round that way mold gets sold more than once doubling money. I guarantee you most ml collectors own two variants of figures. Especially prior 2022

[@georgetrapp6666]

Right? Like didn't they do too many Thanos figures? Thing figures? To only name those, there are more. And most people like the last one, that they finally got right.

[@KeeperPlus]

Hasbro needs to at least be doing washes

I don’t know who chod is but it’s an okay figure

The way you were pronouncing it before chod it means fuck where I’m from 😂

I think his fingers should be 4 only 😅

[@FREKKI]

The only thing good about this figure is the head. This is such a phoned in release. They made new hands for it and still got too lane fingers? Wtf. I was going to repaint it but after putting it together I was so thoroughly disappointed I just boxed it.

Agreed completely

Feels illegal to be this early(btw imagine being pinned by your favorite unboxer)

[@Man_of_Tomorrow]

I've really been pronouncing his name wrong.

[@georgetrapp6666]

So did the X-Men cartoon.

[@bacpnguyen]

Dude I love you, been following you for years. But your verbiage for wrist hinges is completely incorrect. Think about it in medical or exercise terms. The human form is most natural with the palms facing inward. When you raise your arms out to the side, that is referred to as moving IN and OUT. Moving UP and DOWN is when you move your hand in FRONT of you. Your nomenclature is straight up wrong, and it confuses people. Just like for the longest time you used to say “matted” instead of “matte”. You will eventually realize how wrong you are. Better to fix it sooner than later my friend!

[@markknox1194]

I like it, dude needs a shield ... cool figure though

[@protozoalord]

Gotta pronounce that name right!! It's a long O

[@tombowling8646]

So it's Ch'od, like Ch'od McFarlane? Interesting enough, they used the same color plastic that Todd used for his RAW 10 Raptar. I like that bright green plastic. It pops. As soon as I saw the Hasbro publicity shots for the pre-orders, I knew there were going to be plenty of collectors complaining about the lack of paint apps. It doesn't bother me. I really like it.

[@baIoney]

But does Cho'd like baloney ?

[@georgetrapp6666]

Marshmallows? WD-40? (That's illegal to fish with) raw chicken? (That's for crocodiles and alligators)

[@danielmilliken8903]

Anyone see the sudden change in overall look of the plastic and appeal since even last year ! It’s different but u can see it. Just like a muddy painting. I give hasbro and ML not too many years before fading out. I may be wrong cause of no 🔮 but I’m seein some shit At different angles.
