Marvel Legends Ikaris Review!!! People are Going to SLEEP on this but I LOVE IT!

Thanks for checking out my review of the Marvel Legends Ikaris!!! I feel like it’s pretty rare for Hasbro to put so much effort into such an obscure character, yeah he’s doesn’t have amazing articulation and he’s light on accessories but Hasbro and Gentle Giant did an amazing job with the sculpt and the detail!

I love how this is a comic baf wave. Dont get me wrong the MCU stuff and animated stuff is good but me personally nothing beats comic book waves

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Yup! I agree with you there!

[@LosMSR]

That's cheap BAF, Zabu and Ka-Zar could be a two pack.

[@turnthepage8980]

@@LosMSRTrue, but Hasbro will never be perfect. It's still a good offer.

[@stevenboyd3756]

This figure is great. It radiates Kirby and gives me huge feelings of nostalgia. I gotta get that Jack Kirby figure. What set did he come in?

[@MrAlexEart]

Agreed 👍

[@juansanchez209]

A figure like this leads to a pretty interesting conversation when it comes to collecting habits and priorities: do you prioritize the objective quality of a figure, or your attachment to the IP/source material that a figure is based on? To put it another way: would you rather have a great figure of a character you don't have any attachment to, or a mediocre figure of a character you really like? I'm a hardcore comic book fan (I have shelves filled with TPBs and omnibuses, I make weekly trips to my local comic book shop, I go to cons, etc.), but I have NEVER met anybody who says Eternal is one of their absolute favorite comic IPs lol To me, I think it's very interesting when a lesser-known or unpopular character gets a really solid figure. I think great sculpting and paintwork can entice people to check out a figure they might have otherwise skipped due to lack of attachment to the character. In Ikaris' case, I think it also really helps that his costume design lends itself to sculpt and paintwork due to all of those intricate Jack Kirby details One of my favorite things (maybe my singular favorite thing tbh) about the Marvel Legends line is the depth of the figure selection and how wide of a scope the line has. Sure some of the figures are total duds, but there is no other line out there that consistently puts out C and D list characters for hardcore fans the way Marvel Legends does. In an era where negativity (some of it admittedly justified due to the disparity between quality and price) seems to be the predominant tone of online discourse regarding action figures, I do think we should occasionally take time to reflect on the positive qualities of the lines we collect

[@raymondjones5909]

Custers joints not returning

[@joshr9470]

I’ll say this: without knowing much of the eternals in general, this figure is so good that it makes me return to the source material to read eternal comics. So I’d def rather have a solid release of a lesser known IP because as a toy collector a cool figure is a cool figure. we as comic fans are fortunate we have that source material to check out.

[@gmon78]

I will often buy a figure just because I like how it looks. Over the past few years I've bought a bunch of McFarlane Spawn figures of characters I know nothing about purely because I liked the design and sculpt.

[@GoblinFootball13]

Dang, that headsculpt is so amazing and the whole headswap segment was very interesting. I wonder how this headsculpt looks on the newest Ben Reilly and Ultimate Cap

[@gmon78]

Head sculpt looks like the Ka-Zar figure brushed his hair for church on Sunday😂

[@MrNeomatrix99]

They probably should have used captain America body on this character. Jack Kirby drew this guy beefy

[@adamlovingart]

The DC Direct Orion from the Fourth World series (and that while series in general) is spot on Jack Kirby style in 3D form if you want to make a Kirby specific display.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Oooh good call! I’ll look into those!

[@theleftisttimemachine8196]

Excellent recommendation! I also highly encourage getting the Darkseid from that same line. It's actually Kirby's art in action figure form

[@DavidEvanSmith]

This figure is low key my favorite of the wave, truly the care and detail that Marvel Legends put into this character’s figure, when it feels like Marvel Comics has shoved the Eternals aside is very pleasantly surprising. Strongly considering getting a second one to make an “energy eyes” version 🤔

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

I think agree with you about him being the best in the wave haha

[@marvelousnick352]

Omg I spoke to soon in the video you was already thinking ahead 😂 definitely enjoyed the head swaps

[@DanB.0]

Nice, quick and tidy review!

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Trying to practice being quick and efficient with some of these new Legends haha

[@rabidhammer31]

Very nice overall, great review, man, I cannot wait for my Odious!

[@davidchance6418]

Ikaris is one of my favorite cosmic characters and hasbro done my boy wrong by not including a laser eye headsculpt

[@hensolo10]

Coming through with headswaps are great bonus

[@shaolinjoe3705]

Great detail shown in this vid

[@danielstjohn3018]

Thanks for the good review of Kirby's Ikaris figure..!! So glad to get him.!!

[@TheFigureDoctor]

Amazing review as always! Do the skintones match to where you could put Ikaris' head on the Ka-Zar body to make a He-Man?? (after adding armors and such of course)

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Thanks! They do match well enough but the Ikiras head is a little too big

[@literally_action_figs]

I love that they put so much detail into this new torso. They could have just done a deco on the Vulcan mold, but they went all out. 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥

[@lostonwallace1396]

He's a great looking figure! Love it! If you read the original Jack Kirby ETERNALS series as I did in the '70s, this figure does that character justice. Don't need butterfly joints on figures that don't carry weapons. I'm so good with this!

[@peterwong8499]

Love the addition head swap session beside random size comparison. Was wondering if the He-man filmation 5" would fit in to Ikaris body?

[@uncannysculpts]

debating on making that laser eye head with gritting teeth

[@killerpergola]

Men, the last photo... i wish someday hasbro will give us a JK figure.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Thanks man!!! That probably how I’m gonna display them on the shelf haha. I’d be down for a Jack from Hasbro but I’m really happy with the NECA one

[@dismalparade322]

Was thinking of picking this and Hercules up to make an ML style He-Man. Looks like the skin tones don’t really match. Any chance for a head swap?

[@K3V1NTLL]

Question: Wade, have you ever done a walk through of your collection as it’s something I’d really love to see. Another great review of a character I knew but wasn’t overly familiar with, I kinda want to know more as he looks really good and your review really shines a great light on yet another great Legends release, they really seem to be putting out some bangers over the last 6-12 months, the face sculpts in particular are fantastic even compared to more high end releases.👏🏼👍🏼

[@ronanmenezes5639]

If it didn't have the BAF piece, they could have put a head with eyes shooting lasers and energy effects on the fists. And that back part of the hair I found strange, and I even remembered that he had short hair in his first appearances and in Neil Gailmain's comics.

[@uncannysculpts]

definitely agree with laser eyes. I wonder if the lady mandarin effects are able to be used

[@marvelousnick352]

This head sculpt looks like it would look good on marvel legends sentry body

[@markendicott6874]

I've been a lonely Kirby Eternals fan for decades (and the damned film made me even lonelier!) but this figure is a love letter to Me! Thank you Hasbro......now make me Makari and Thena to prove you really mean it.

[@LosMSR]

The best one of the wave is Cable, even with that nonsense pin arm 💀

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Cable looks great! His boots piss me off though

[@herbertbaker9522]

Yeah!!!!!!

[@steelstalker]

Two best heman portraits in the same wave😂

[@gearhead909ng]

The headsculpt looks like it could pass for a powered down Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider headsculpt.

[@traviswilcox3472]

So nice how you praise Jack Kirby in this review, your idea of Hasbro making Kirby Krackle effects is great & we need that. I like the character & they got close to making this figure great but it’s only just decent to me. He’s simply undersized, you posed him next to Cap & he was small. Ikaris is nearly same size as Cap, it’s easy to find out that info so Legends team are once more falling short.

[@erictoro6519]

Hasbro has been doing well with the figures shoulders now .this figure looks Awesome . There should be an eternal cartoon so that Hasbro can continue making more eternal figures based on the original jack Kirby comic book issues .he created most of these characters after all .this Hasbro marvel legend ikaris figure is made in a more advanced pin less Mar-vell buck they used in magneto X-Men 97 wave one and it came out very cool .i like it.

[@tylerhendersonjr6587]

It Will Be Great Idea 💡We Had Jack Kirby And Steve Ditko Marvel Legends 2-Pack

[@OnkelCthulhu]

Hopefull, thats the future of Marvel Legends

[@bapo22]

Should've used Vulcan arms and legs, but at least they're not Bucky-Cap. Even though these ones are pinless, the old Spider-Man UK sculpts make the figure look outdated. 8:35 Quasar head swap or a smaller He-Man head swap.

[@turnthepage8980]

I'd love to see Ikaris' head on Ka-Zar. Probably the ideal He-Man ML look

[@artmuch_]

I'd love to see head swap with Jada toys Ken Master 😂

[@philipluis9666]

I agree with what you said about this figure, but Hasbro does Hasbro. For the price it should come with more accessories, GI joes come accessories, same company though, don't understand.

[@galactus9807]

6:48 I wonder if they’re gonna make a celestial in marvel legends like the next haslab

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

That would be really dope but I kinda don’t see that happening. I’d be down for it though!

[@Vintage-Bob]

A great figure except for that hideous mustard gold that I wish Hasbro would stop using! I repainted it comic-book yellow and now he looks almost perfect!

[@jarmandoromero7084]

I hope hasbro releases the rest of the comic book version of the Eternals and eventually I hope they get around to releasing the inhumans.

[@moerucobo]

The Sentry’s Head Sculpt would look awesome on that figure!!! Glad I thought of it. Beef 🥩 is on now for not giving credit where credit was do 🤣😂

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Goddamn it. I really planned on it but completely forgot haha

[@moerucobo]

@@UnparalleledUniverse You were supposed to credit the homie @Literally_Action_Figs not me ! 🥩🤣😂🤣😂

[@clockworkorgy]

Imagine an eternals cartoon in its own universe I think that’d be interesting. Keep it in the kirby world with surfer and inhumans only???

[@MrNeomatrix99]

Marvel legends really needs to fix their shoulders on these characters

[@LosMSR]

Also this guy has no neck, if you try to swap his head to a Vulcan mold, no neck, and out of proportions scale.

[@str8toff]

They smashed this one def gonna be a sleeper.

[@gordondere8907]

Kirby versions are the best. Hasbro should make Eternal figures out of all the Kirby versions.

[@calebjolley5593]

Is ur hair dirty mine looks like their is dirt in the hair

[@jordantorres2139]

Please tell me you’re gonna do cable too

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Working on it now! Haha

[@victoryLeo1]

I hope the make Gilgamesh and use Hercules or Thor buck.

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I was going to pass on this, but I got the Comics Sersi so I decided to get him.

[@juancabeza5809]

12:30 Cable and this figure are suffering from the same lower leg's weird posture. Is bended outwards to the sides and it looks weird.

[@juancabeza5809]

Are the feet inverted? I found the same thing with the new Master verse Battle Armor He-Man's feet....

[@theselectguy]

3 in a week??? Calling fire truck 🚒 🔥

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Banging them out yo!

[@timpagan71]

Nice! 🔪🔪🔪

[@JohnnyBlaze_616]

Great for Ikaris… but how come Ikaris gets a definitive Marvel Legends figure, but we still don’t have a definitive classic Spider-Man and Wolverine from Legends?? Who asked for Ikaris?!?

[@Avenging_Archer]

We have a trillion "definitive" Spider-Mans and Wolverines. Amazing Fantasy, Amazing Friends, Retro, Animated.. Fucking Wolverine literally JUST came out with the new Astonishing Wolverine not to mention the literally new 97 Wolverine and the VHS one before that. What the FUCK more do you want??? Some of us buy more than casual schlop, clown.

[@marbydog65]

The head is too big and it's gappy where the arms meet the torso. No butterflies. Pass.

[@UnparalleledUniverse]

Understandable complaints. I love it though haha

[@LosMSR]

That's true, if you want to swap his head into a Vulcan mold, no neck, and bobble head style.

[@domenicliparoti5792]

Tell me how they get a butterfly joint in there without sacrificing the sculpt on the chest? Sometimes I swear some collectors just don’t see the overall schemes of things it’s quite annoying

[@LosMSR]

@@domenicliparoti5792 Still the proportions are off, the head is in other scale.

[@KeeperPlus]

Mcu figures are crap
