Marvel Legends SHIELD 3pk Fury, Dugan, Carter | Captain America Action Figure Review

[@AlanDavidDoane]

When they introduced a Samuel L. Jackson/Ultimates-type Nick Fury in the comics a few years back, they made him the son of the original Nick Fury. So the White head is Sr. and the Black head is Jr.

[@froakie14]

Do you have that mixed up?

[@haydentcem]

The Ultimate Universe version is just a black version of Sr. The Prime Universe’s black Fury is the Jr one

[@AlanDavidDoane]

For context on the Nick Fury Jr. thing: Nick Fury is the original. Then in the Ultimate comics, they based his look after Samuel L Jackson. In response to that and Samuel L. Jackson in the MCU, they added Nick Fury Jr. as Nick Fury’s son in the main 616 universe Excellent review, I found this at Gamestop yesterday; glad I picked it up!!

[@braydenpage1808]

@@josray2557 yeah pinless joints can look really bad. Other than that I really like the Ultimate Captain America figure. I only prefer Pinless joints when it's different colors on each side such as Spider-Man. I hate the 2 wrong colored circles on the inside of arms. If it's the same color on both I prefer pins.

[@cptwigglefuffle]

I'm an advocate for butterfly joints if they're done correctly Figures should be able to cross their arms and be able to bring the arms across the chest. The figma Samus Meteoid Dread and Figma Guyver 1 Ultimate are good examples of this. I also think the line of Megami Device model kits and even the recent SSJ Goku demonstrate this. That goku can actually do a proper Kamehameha without needing to cheat by bending the elbows to bring his arms forward. That's why. Consideri them important because it allows for more dynamic posing, and humans are able to be to do things like reach for their right shoudlers with their left hand, and when you hug you typically use the shoulders to bring your arms forward. A lot of figures can't even do a basic hug. Same question could be said about vertical wrist hinges. Why would we need them if the hands already hold the weapon, i still remember the articulation video you made, saying how vertical hinges allow a figure to hold a gun or sword in a more realistic way so. I just don't like most modern action figures being no different from the average low budget wrestling toys you see at like target You can't recreate certain poses for characters if they lack the range due to engineering being bad or just having the adanced articulation

[@Maddcustoms7]

They gave Dugan a different torso because he’s a thicker/doughy character

[@RadtechCustoms175]

It almost looks like he has a flak vest on.

[@gesie0504]

An IRON DUDE can do Splits but a Woman on a Stretchy Stealth Suit CAN'T do Splits.... 💀

[@suhtangwong]

There's a reason why hasbro limits articulation for female figures. They don't want any lawsuits, aka ages 13+ parental guidance lol

[@GamingMafia_id]

Even the hulks buck can do better split, iirc 😂

[@Hilltopperpete]

One of the critical points of articulation that I feel like is just kind of hand-waved away is the front leg kick. If the figure can’t kick forward, it can’t sit in a vehicle or a chair. I guess this is less of an issue because Hasbro doesn’t release vehicles for Marvel, legends, but if a G.I. Joe figure couldn’t sit down, it would be a big problem. Hasbro is running out of large characters for Haslabs, one of the next obvious options is an Avengers Quinjet or some Blackbird variant for the X-Men or a Punisher Van or a Deadpool Taco Truck. And because of almost 20 years of mediocrity in designing articulation, Hasbro has only released a handful of figures that would be be able to sit down in a vehicle and not look ridiculous. Last year McFarlane released a Black Adam movie character on a throne that he can’t even sit on.

[@thetruth1013]

Takes some work but Black Adam can sit just fine on his throne. I’ve had him in and out of that throne for a year.

[@arthurchen6464]

Yup. 90 degree leg bend should be standard for all modern era action figures. And not widly to the side either. If your adult collector grade 1:12 action figure can't sit properly without spreading, why the fuck are you making action figures in 2024?

[@JohnnyBlaze_616]

Future HasLabs: Y’Mir, Surtur, Shuma-Gorath, Ultimo, Giant Mole monster for Mole Man, Dormammu, Cyttorak, Santanish and many more. There’s def some more larger characters the Legends team can do for more HasLabs.

It's funny how people consider this one of the best female figures ever, not just Marvel Legends. But this body mold was already outdated in 2014. SHF released Sailor Moon (I know it's an import, but it's not like that articulation is region locked to Japan only) with ball peg + ball hinge shoulders that let her two-hand her weapons. Full splits forward and back with a skirt on (out to the side isn't too good), single joint knees and elbows that have nearly 120 degrees of motion, and double ball peg diaphragm and waist. All with near perfect accuracy to the source material with no sacrifices to her costume (other than ball hinge wrists and ankles.) All that for $35 MSRP

[@arthurchen6464]

People just like to own good stuff. They're going to own Widow and Sharon. They're collectors afterall. They collect. So they want to have what they already collect be considered "good".

Sharon diaphragm design into the chest is weird, it’s not a ball joint. Can’t even pop the chest off if we wanted to, gotta crack it open.

[@suhtangwong]

I think it's all figures with butterfly joints. It has to be hard plastic so that the pins on the inner butterfly joints can rotate, you'll have to crack any figure with butterfly joints open, it's not soft plastic.

[@Ohmug3nW3apon13]

@@suhtangwong that’s true

[@arthurchen6464]

The issue with the diaphragm was already noted with the "super articulated" widow figure, and this Sharon's torso is just the Widow torso. The diaphragm is pretty much functionally just a swivel. Yeah technically it is a ball joint at the middle torso piece, but they didn't cut out enough plastic around the ball peg, so there is minimal range. Most of the back and forth in the torso comes from the crunch. If you crack off the upper torso, you can dremel away some plastic from the middle piece for better range.

Well if u think her articulation is bad then you definitely don’t want to review the X-men 97 Jean grey. They said they didn’t want to break up the sculpt? The vhs Jean and the one prior to that had the diaphragm cut. The new evil Rogue that’s coming out has that same O ring style articulation.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Yes to butterfly joints and pinless knees and elbows when done well. Jada seem to manage fine. I don't see why being pinless (hidden pins) means mismatched colours. Surely they use the same type of plastic for the knees and elbows as the pinned ones. Oh and I've had older figs (pinned) become. loose over time. I was interested in this set but Hasbro still struggle with articulation. They should all have ball jointed waists, plus necks. Sadly Hasbro struggle to make them work. I still don't understand how relative newcomers Jada make better action figures than Hasbro.🤔

[@suhtangwong]

Jada learn from other companies mistake and improve on that. Their sf line is amazing but struggles in some areas, Ryu can't turn upper diaghram but most ML can. Pinless figures have discoloration usually because the joints are different harder material than the limbs. Sometimes they just can't match the exact color or just suck. You can see on a lot of gi joe figures.

The chest on your Carter figure is flawed somehow, the seam on mine isn't noticeable. Mine however has her mid section assembled backwards! I need to contact them about it.

I got 2 Sharon's and the shirt cut doesn't look as horrible as yours lol must be QC? And with Lil trim and mods, the articulation moves much better. Doing hasbro's work 🤷‍♂️

[@Mattyboy-dn4oo]

Maybe by Hasbro standards, sure the BW body is good but by modern action figure standards it’s not great. She still can’t lean to the side well or kick back. Butterfly joints can work. Mafex Psylocke and Jean have good butterflies that pass the “clapping test” and they look good. Hasbro just doesn’t engineer them correctly. It’s like the Renew Your Vows body is their most articulated male body but it still has a poor neck, butterfly and torso joint. That’s not to mention he can’t do the splits. People calling either of those the best thing ever probably never owned anything outside of a Hasbro product or have very low standards.

[@JeminiThaBard]

I think the problem is they engineer A figure to work well then break up the sculpt , hodge podge or Frankenstein parts together, add other loose sculpt add-ons, and don't test the figures to see if it makes sense for the articulation and design of each character. They rather say ' looks close enough, they can finish the figure at home'.

[@suhtangwong]

I think most companies lack good articulation. Mythic legions, neca, mcfarlane, only good ones are mezco, mafex, (revoltech has weird ones) but you're paying 3-4x the price for 1 figure.

[@TheGardenSamurai]

Artwork on boxes are dope I cut them out and keep them

[@guevaracaleb]

What sucks is that some of the good figures that Hasbro has been putting out have been actually pretty damn good, but by comparison it just makes 95% of the figures look even worse, If I know they can make a figure as good as Spiral, War Machine, or the new Lady Mandarin Psylocke, why would I be okay with them releasing completely garbage figures? The fact that they are an established company that know how to make good-looking figures with functional articulation and they just refuse to is so much more egregious then if they just made bad figures period lol, then I could at least give them benefit of the doubt and just say that they don't know any better 😂😂😂

[@ven3209]

Why can't figures like sabretooth or astonishing wolverine or power princess just be the standard instead of the exceptions

[@pants989]

Artwork on the side, toy on the back. Because if I display the boxes as I do with Classified, I like seeing the side art. Without that art I have no reason to keep the boxes. As for the weapons...I strongly dislike guns molded into holsters (my main gripe on this pack) and also hate that the molded gun is a nice black and then the actual guns are goofy platinum space lasers. I'm always buying Valaverse gun packs to make up for ML's ugly weapons.

[@reignmanss]

Speaking for myself I don't have an issue with the hyper-realistic faces. I mean they are wearing full uniforms so it's the only real skin you see.

[@RichardAcevedo2814]

Pistols built into harness are dogshit. And shouldn't the pistol on fury be the electronic needle pistol. Not a random fucking glock type pistol

[@rabidhammer31]

I think some of the headsculpts these days still work nicely as comic but just with crisp paint details, like She-Hulk, But yeah, some are just way too realistic and doesn't match or look good on the figure...reminds me of these custom hyper realistic 1/12 headsculpts that people buy for their Legend. So yeah, it's a compliment to hasbro that the sculpt and paint apps are that good but it doesn't match their body sculpts/style or source material really. I think they had a great thing going right before they went with the face printing tech.

[@skyhigh388]

I really dislike the pure white on all blue color scheme - no detail in the paint apps whatsoever.

[@rampageingboss7494]

If the box shows most of the accessories I’d prefer artwork even tho I also hate when it makes the figure look way worse, I can’t stand non-removable weapons it’s terrible, It’s true most of the time butterfly-joints don’t work and when the chest gets messed up because of it I’d prefer they not do it only if absolutely necessary and it will work then I’m fine with it, Also personally I think pin-less just looks cleaner.

Marvel Legends aren’t as good as they should be mostly due to budgeting reasons, I’m guessing

Due to licensing lol jk They get more budget on their mcu line, which imo, are usually hot garbage.

@@suhtangwong Yeah, their first attempts at MCU characters are usually a little Garbo. But after a bit, when they can update them, they’re pretty cool, like Quicksilver

​@@PietroMarcer 97 Storm is almost identical to the BW body so I guess that means you think it's good after all? 🤷‍♂

[@graefx]

For the thin limbed figures, mostly females, it does seen like pinless is better. The pins always are huge and even worse when they're unpainted. The male figures there's enough real estate that the pins take a smaller % and it's not as glaring and seems more secure. Butterfly joints? I'm not sure. Theres probably some lizard brain part that just wants more points of articulation numbers. I'm just as guilty of it. The reverse diaphram and waist crunch I hate. It's almost as infuriating as no bicep or elbow swivel to the point where I'm almost compelled to break the figured trying to force it into existence.

Price point it's expensive, but makes sense, 3x $25 figures, maybe the most packed in accessories in a multi pack yet? Lots of new retooling and molds, I give it a 8-9/10

[@nashe_clarke]

not sure how i feel about the *photorealism* on comic book characters, they work well enough on movie figures but not so much on the comic counterpart specially if you compare a new released figure to one from 5 or 6 years ago. They just look off.

[@bulletdancestorm554]

The weapons in the harness is stupid. It really makes no sense. I have the "fully articulated" Black Widow and its way way overhyped. It really doesnt get much more articulation than older female bodies.
