Marvel Legends KINGPIN Retro Spider-Man Series Action Figure Review

The build-a-figure of this guy was pretty disappointing. Will a new version with a lot more color be any better or will this be a pig in lipstick situation?

[@lemmerest3477]

Doctor Octopus without a doubt. Such an iconic villain

[@maitablanco726]

Right.

[@keeganodonnell936]

Question of the day is a cool idea. It would be great to see it moving forward! (great review btw)

[@leechqueen4604]

After reading the comics that led up to Superior Spiderman, Doc Octopus all the way.

[@scottpiper213]

The best way to get Hasbro to give us better figures is for collectors to stop putting up with mediocrity like this and not buy it. Until then, they’re just going to continue doing what they’re doing. Let your wallets be your voices everyone!

[@bonnwilliams1106]

Doc Ock ftw, still waiting on hasbro to make one with bendy wire tentacles

[@qemuel]

Doc Ock is a beast when written well. Also, Kingpin always fit better as a Daredevil villain. Just makes more sense.

[@ekaj-fj3gk]

I agree with you he doesnt look fat. But in more recent depictions like daredevil TV show and spidey ps4, he doesnt look fat he just looks thick

[@Luke101]

And then you have the Into The Spider-Verse version which was an actual cube 😂

[@ekaj-fj3gk]

@@Luke101 😂😂😂😂 exactly. But it still strengthens my argument.

[@SymbiSpidey]

I thought Kingpin was supposed to be mostly muscle and only "looked" fat.

[@crimsondynamo615]

SymbiSpidey “only 2% of my body weight is fat, imagine what 450 pounds of muscle can do!”

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

That packaging is awesome. Almost didn’t want to take it out

[@Batman25JM]

I’m not going to lie. I like Kingpin better. In fact, Kingpin is my favorite Marvel villain.

[@the_architect..]

I actually really liked the way the BAF looked. I just hated that the wave was so painfully mediocre, which is why I never built it myself. Therefore, this is a great release for someone like me, even with all its flaws Regarding your question, I think it would be easier if it wasn't for the Daredevil show, because the Kingpin was so awesomely portrayed there. There's also the Born Again storyline. Other than that, Doctor Octopus has always been a pretty badass villain, so I really can't decide between the two. It depends on the day, I guess

[@Kevin-bh2mw]

bro.... I STILL think about the custom marvel legends-esque spawn you made. you’re a damn legend 😭

[@Darkseid.of.Apokolips]

I prefer the all white look

[@DCMarvel2009]

Which villain do I like more? ...Doc Ock. Tbh, I haven't really kept up that much with Kingpin in the comics, barring the apparent fact that he became mayor. Doc Ock's just done way more and been through so much.

[@Sprocketman]

I think one of the major problems is that his coat is open: I can’t think of many times where Kingpin had his coat open

[@AnthonysCustoms]

good point

[@Sprocketman]

@@AnthonysCustoms No question all the other stuff you mentioned hurts it too, but that open coat does him no favors

[@jonathanyeeweicheang2178]

I actually think this figure was coloured to match the animated series look. The more comic accurate look actually has him wearing striped pants. Also for your question, I feel the better villain depends on who the hero is. For Spidey definitely Doc Ock. For DD though, Doc Ock doesn't make much sense. It's this guy.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

No. This is comic coloring.

[@gmsloep]

I personally prefer Kingpin. He's still a major direct threat in a fight, but unlike Doc Ock, he also provides a much more indirect threat 24/7 thanks to his empire of crime and money.

[@IOsTower]

Doctor Octopus cause he has more arms than kingpin

[@vaderswatch5974]

doc ock is one of my favorite Spiderman villain's

[@Jacob.Brostrom]

To be fair, Fisk is only like 2% body fat. It’s mostly muscle

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Tell that to his neck... And the rest of his body.

[@crimsondynamo615]

“Imagine what 450 pounds of muscle can do!”

[@levingatchalian]

in general, Doc Ock in comics and movies/tv. But after the daredevil netflix series, I see potential in Kingpin

[@Mike_honcho_]

Doctor Octopus. He's a genius and very powerful. And he goes after Spider-man

[@dylansandoval9841]

I just got this figure since I missed out on the baf but I did not expect him to be so big lol but for my answer I'm definitely picking Kingpin. I find him more menacing :D

[@danielbenjaminmesser6234]

He is taller than Colossus figure it’s too big.

[@ivanfrias2605]

@@danielbenjaminmesser6234 Kingpin is ment to be big 😐

[@danielbenjaminmesser6234]

Colossus is 7’5” nearly a foot taller than Kingpin it makes no sense for Kingpin to be this big especially considering he is a human.... Thing was too tall too he is 6’ and Rhino is 6’5” so yes they are all too big and make Characters like Colossus look to short.

[@ivanfrias2605]

@@danielbenjaminmesser6234 dog Kingpin changes sizes so many times, same thing with Colossus, he was shorter in Giant Size, Kingpin is big, dude whatchi talkin bout🤦‍♂️

[@danielbenjaminmesser6234]

This figure even makes Hulk look to small.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

I really like this figure, the vibrant colours help it stand out on my Spider-Man villains shelf which is mostly taken up by green villains, the sculpt is really good and sure the articulation isn't great but he does everything I'd want this figure to do, and I've taken it off my shelf plenty of times since August to reposition it and take photos of it, so I'm more than happy to have it.

[@893trent]

8:19 basically sums up my feeling after every purchase of each figure 😂😂

[@slen9658]

I prefer Kingpin mostly because he's appeared in multiple different Rogue's galleries. I enjoy him in Daredevil and Spiderman, plus (although I admittedly haven't read superior spiderman) he seems to be a deeper character with more human motivations. Every single fight in Spiderman 2 except for the train fight was just a flippey boxing match where his arms sometimes grab something.

[@benjaminreece693]

Kingpin became my favorite villain ever since he was portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio

[@legend98ish]

Doc Ock for sure. I like kingpin more as a Daredevil villain.

[@juicybox5214]

8:23 Hands down, my favorite part of the review

[@viniciussilveira4576]

Damn, i thought i was the only one thinking that he's not really that fat😂 but, yeah, i guess if you wanna buy him just to be standind on the shelf, you can do it (especially cause it's not everyone that thinks he's not fat enough), but, when it comes for action poses😫.... Also, doc ock is my favorite out of the two

[@SoftEndy]

He's got Netflix Daredevil proportions

[@noosedogg7845]

I absolutely love the green and yellow bowl cut look for doctor octopus

[@johnmorrissey4106]

The orange color on the vest does match on the one that I got from Hasbro Pulse. The vest piece on the chest is much brighter than that on the abdomen. Is anyone else having a similar problem?

[@FailingSpirit]

Oof, that's a tough question. I guess Doc is a more fun villain, will choose him

[@bichonnation9494]

Anthony sounds like he’s in quite a better mood than usual.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I'm glad to have a King Pin in my collection but I have to agree with everything you critiqued about it. Thanks for the review.

[@sondoan734]

I agree with Anthony about the figure not feeling like a collectible. That has been the case with all the marvel legends that I have bought. I got excited at first, but after buying from NECA, I kinda regret spending money on Marvel Legends.

[@jesusdavidmartinezsilveyra3983]

The same happened to me I thought ML were ok figures but after some neca and McFarlane they feel and look super cheap, and it's a shame the only alternative is the mafex line which is so expensive that I don't want them haha

[@ZaccToys]

Kingpin, so dope

[@nottoofast]

Yeah definitely Doctor Octopus. He's really cool. Kingpin is okay, but he's not my favorite or anything.

[@zodiax6782]

Kingpin was the first comic villian I saw in a comic book

[@tamashorvath224]

So this is where the question of the day started.

[@GokaiJolt]

I prefer Dr. Octopus because of how the character has evolved

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

I think I prefer Otto Octavius because he’s specifically a Spider-man villain. I think this figure looks good, I like the color scheme because it’s similar to the 90’s animated series.

[@daddysbabygirl9620]

Appreciate the brutal honestly, but personally see this as the best Kingpin figure to date at or around the price point. Grew up loving Spider-Man in animation and comics and this Kingpin hearkens back to the classic Romita Sr. Kingpin in the comics, which is exactly what I want in a Kingpin figure. Sure black pinstripes on the pants, and light blue wrist cuffs would have been a nice touch, maybe even an long thin smoking accessory, but for proportions look at his proportions on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man issue 51 and 197. Count me in the more often than not, unimpressed with modern takes on classic characters crowd. Oh and Doc Oct btw.

[@MatthewLovesMusic]

Doc Ock is definitely my favourite, but Kingpin has grown on me a lot since the Daredevil Netflix series.

[@kingbubbleshark1559]

Doctor Octopus because he is spider mans second worst enemy.

[@bloodpool18]

Ima go with Kingpin. The man runs New York and just has so much swagger. Doc Ock is dope though.

[@impossiblepie]

Doctor Octopus, I consider Kingpin a Daredevil villain. Kingpin looks like the Blob on the packaging.

[@pipecito2112YYZcol]

It is perfect for a Daredevil fan!!!

[@random11]

big boy looks so good on card... wish it was the 90s cartoon look though

[@crimsondynamo615]

This unironically looks better than the build a figure version. The colors work on him.

[@DesignIncase]

Kingpin isn't a fat man he's all muscle which makes people think he's fat(and so the underestimate his strength/speed/endurance). Now there's marvel bs going on like Cap's olympic level stats yet his physique just shouldn't allow him to be op in every event. Kingpin can't be as big as he is and move like he does. Netflix Kingpin is really what people sorta realistically expect he would look like but Michael Clarke Duncan was how he would be if they want that pure muscle vibe. I feel this body goes closer to that. I think this is why Kingpins look changes quite a bit between artists and various adaptions in the media. But we all want that Spider-verse Kingpin!

[@Italionstalion]

King pin isn't fat, hes just pure muscle

[@manu70]

Doc ock all the way, it’s hard to compete with a guy with robotic arms and a genius mind when you’re just a big guy who’s a mob boss

[@super9248]

If I'm basing off TAS then Kingpin all the way. But from the comics, especially Stan Lee era, it's Doc Oc

[@mvargas63]

Hey man. I appreciate your objectiveness, this is why I subscribed to your channel. Keep it up.

[@STEEVEWES]

I bought it and you are completely right.

[@marcbelo7301]

Doc oc is the ultimate Sinister Six villain

[@cincila6981]

Isn't he a competent fighter in comics? He showed moved in current Daredevil run so he should be more articulated

[@leyenda6149]

Toybiz Green Goblin still beat Kingpin & Doc Ock for me

[@Oscarlopez12456]

Man I have almost the whole set I’m trying to open and take it out the box but i really don’t wanna ruin the box while opening it 😭😅 , and I’ve seen your box and I’m like how?? Lmao

[@superj2644]

I got the baf for a better kingpin then the toybiz release. Got this one so that I can have the baf as my shadowking and this as my kingpin.

[@raygun310]

Great review!

[@endertron3282]

I choose Doc Ock. One of my fav Spidey villains of all time. Kingpin is nice but i think he's more of a Daredevil villain

[@DocD173]

Kingpin absolutely, because Kingpin is a Daredevil villain primarily and I prefer DD over Spidey

[@rocco1877]

It's kingpin what articulation do y'all expect

[@kltoybox]

Doc Oc is one of the best villains in the Spiderverse! I was never a huge fan of those design they did of him, like you said he doesn’t look that fat. It’s definitely not that great of a figure I passed on both. It’s always funny to me that they made the art of the character doing a pose the figure can’t do with out looking awkward. Great Video! Glad I passed on him! Fewwww PS. Got my spawn axe the other day and wholllyyyyy shit is it the dopest axe!!

[@captainrex3954]

Kingpin is not supposed to be very fat, I’m pretty sure that kingpin’s body is supposed to be mostly muscle

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Look at the comics

[@captainrex3954]

AnthonysCustoms I googled it and it is supposed to be muscle not fat

[@acarnage]

DOCTER octopus is my favorite

[@pandasoftT]

i remembered before how this so big of a toy have the same price compared to spiderman and others in this series which is quite small compared to him. unlike in gundams where more plastic more price and vice versa. so sad i wasn't able to buy that big rhino before cause i dont have the money that time and the price is quite higher now

[@GE-mm9eg]

I know there are some stuff that is lacking. If we are paying 20...which I paid for mine all the things you want fixed will just put the price way up. Seriously if you want better and can afford it ...they have it for a price. When I was collecting the you biz stuff which I have been collecting since the early 80s and we had nothing this cool then they were way cheaper with great accessories and articulation. I am glad to have good looking affordable stuff. Shit I am not rich or all my stuff would be hot toys and sideshow.

[@TimothyLau55]

Not Kingpin, because "I am rich". I like Octopus tech. It does not make sense to me a very rich outlaw rely that much on fists but not weapons.

[@TheSpiderWarden]

Kingpin isn't supposed to be actually fat. His size is all muscles. Thats why he's so strong in the comics, or at least thats how its explained

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Tell that to every artist ever

[@samforrest5985]

I like kingpin as a villain, But I like Dr. octopus as a character more

[@nhyar]

Hate the BaF, love the colors. I am happy Hasbro released this as a single figure because it's bad and paying like $100 for an also bad wave just to build this guy was awful enough, lol. And to answer the question I prefer Doc Ock, guy is definitely more interesting than Kingpin. Doc Ock and Gobby have always been my favorite Spidey villains.

[@corydrummond67]

Kingpin is my favorite character between the 2

[@thelegendscollector]

I was going to say Doctor Octopus anyways he's one of my favourite Spider-Man villains

[@YeezyArchives]

got him a week ago. Great figure!

[@nighter619]

Kingpin

[@Captain_cannon]

I love king pin so I am going with him

[@BTT16]

It's a cool figure, costume design aesthetics wise I think the all white version looks much more intimidating. The all white with black shirt and purple tie make him look like he's in "All Business" mode, either making Billion Dollar deals, or plotting to kill someone's entire family. This "Classic" look makes him seem a little soft.

[@emphorepolpatinedasenate]

I like doc Octopus better since i knowned that character longer and grew up with that villain. And king pin i got introduced by spiderverse for me so i havent knowned king pin that long

Doctor Octopus is still a better figure. In my opinion this figure barely passes. I customized th legs and it look a bit better. I'm gonna see what I can do with the head. Maybe I'll add more detail in the neck. I'm trying to make it as close to the picture. It's pretty hard through.
