MARVEL LEGENDS X-MEN 275 REVIEW (X-MEN 60TH ANNIVERSARY 3 PACKS)

[@DavidEvanSmith]

I own these sets but still obsessed with watching reviews of them and seeing the poses from the cover recreated!

[@Xmanny87]

Nothing wrong with that. It’s visually stimulating to the eye.

[@arthurchen6464]

The new batch of facesculpts from ML are really improving overall. They either got new sculptors or just gave the headsculpts to some of their more skilled sculptors they've already been using. The best examples are redone characters like Wolverine and Gambit in their blue-and-yellow compared to their previous figures. The eyes aren't too wide apart on the heads as the older attempts. Make the overall look of the heads way more accurate and less goofy.

[@Xmanny87]

Right? They’re strongly improving that area.

[@mutjace5621]

Best video for these packs review I have watched so far. Thanks a lot for the head swaps!!!

[@Xmanny87]

You’re absolutely welcome and glad you found these as the best. I always strive for quality over putting something out rushed just to be the so called “first”.

[@mutjace5621]

@@Xmanny87 Well... no doubt about it bro! The Jubilee part was kinda heart breaking (because I'm a Jubes fan), but yeah, being objective they could have shown more love for her with a better/new teen body, or at least a new head with a new expression (smilley/angry), or even descent fireworks effects (new Dazzler's would have been good too if they wanted to reuse). But well... I'm excited the get her on this suit anyway with all the figures in these packs. Morph swap was amazing by the way! Thanks, that increased my hype for these!

[@Gambitjordan]

I know why but If they put gambit on the new DD/SPIDERMAN body I'd be all over this set like Sunday breakfast, still just a beautiful display piece so I'll wait it out and make this a Xmas pick up, thanks for this review Xmanny this was the first review of these figures I've seen and you sold me with the coat on gambit yo, dope AF man

[@Xmanny87]

You know I had to do it. I love Gambit so I will always do him Justice in a review. You have my word on that.

[@jasondarling1746]

Just got mine today and can't wait to get them out! That story arc was freaking so awesome and it's cool to get them in plastic form. Just need the Starjammers and a few more Imperial Guard characters now! Especially Oracle.

[@Xmanny87]

That would be great. You’re going to love them. Even more when you stand them all next to each other.

[@salmanakhtar9330]

X Da Man Manny Loved it ,creative and again thank you for the idea behind Morph ,simply creative 💫✨💪🏼✔️🙏🏼

[@Xmanny87]

You’re very welcome.

[@etb7856]

I love it *Cons* “Jubilee” 🤣 that was hilarious and agreeable

[@adrianbetts9146]

Great video Manny - loved your reaction to Morph near the end. He does look awesome. I hear you about team building, but for me my no. 1 is the Giant Size team - Give me a Green Banshee, a classic Polaris and classic Angel and I'll be happy. After that, what I want most is all the missing figures to complete teams - Destiny, Feral, Wolfsbane, Marrina, Box, Harry Leland, Cypher, Magma, Unus, Lorelei, Raza and Hepzibah. Maybe a Kitty Pryde Sprite and/or Ariel would be cool too. Banshee is my favourite character so I am over the moon to finally get an update.

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks man! I can’t put this Banshee down. I still have Morph’s head on the Gambit body. I’m tempted to buy an extra now. Lol

[@mely.8368]

Love the review especially with Forge’s sideburn being “wet”. Lmao 😂😂 Great video Manny as always. Now I need to get mine.

[@Xmanny87]

Lol! You’re welcome man. Glad you had fun watching it.

[@lawrencejones8635]

I love watching your videos it always helps me decide if I want to get a figure or not.

[@Xmanny87]

Awesome! Are you deciding on this set or not?

[@gerrysabron]

awesome reviews X-manny, amazing video quality, almost feels like having the figures in hand..Fantastic posing on Gambit.., I wish Banshee was single released, but glad he came with Gambit & that new Psylocke, at least Hasbro did something right for me this time. 😁

[@Xmanny87]

Lol I’m happy to hear the feedback on the quality. Made me feel proud of my work. Thanks for that man. Glad I can give you a great visual experience at home.

[@hrishikeshsaikia476]

Great review man as always. Props to you , that you actually noticed wolverine didn't had his claws out in the left hand in the cover . Please do the puff adder wave next ...I have a idea for iron man , how about doing the hall of armor in chronological order , according to their number. Can't wait for mark 1 , hitting it with gold spray paint will give us mark 2 too😁o

[@hrishikeshsaikia476]

Oh your wanderman snapped ..Have to wait then

[@milo190872]

I loved these sets to assemble the 275 team in addition to the retro card Wolverine. I would love to see a 3 pack of Multiple Man in his XFactor uniform with the coat being removable. The 3 pack would be 3 figures of Multiple Man and I would definitely buy a couple or three pack as I have the rest of the XFactor team. The Forge from this would double up as he wore the same type of uniform when he became the government liaison after Val Cooper lost the trust of the team.

[@CorinneOliv]

Evil head morph looks even better on this body 😍 So excited. One pack is coming in for me on Friday 😍

[@Xmanny87]

Damn right it does. Enjoy the figures!

[@InfernoDelta12]

I love the old forge head a lot more as well. I feel like the new one makes forge look younger and I think the skin tone was better on the old one too.

[@Xmanny87]

I agree with you on that.

[@angeljimenez9909]

Great points! @1:25 Sculpt looks a little like WIllem Dafoe @20:14 Forge does look a little sad lol, would like more smiles from the heads too @21:56 At least the pins match the color of the thigh, to me that's okay but I am glad you are calling it out since you are correct Great point at the end, since I held off on these packs since I owned the majority of the figures (missing Forge and Banshee) so I am glad we can get a green Banshee

[@GoAwayBrandon]

It is strange that they would have the one peg in Forge's leg. They should have just made it pinless. Hasbro does some odd things sometimes. That Freddie Mercury comment made me actually laugh out loud my guy 😂

[@Xmanny87]

Hahaha yeah it really does look like him to me at least.

[@hrishikeshsaikia476]

​@@Xmanny87what I do is use some air dry clay and fill the holes .. it doesn't effect the articulation , then you can just use a silver sharpie over it

[@Tarriq]

Unless the leg has a pin because it’s not organic? Haha

[@alekhidell4925]

Holy shit man, seeing that Psylocke head a little closer.... WOW! It really does look fantastic!! And I own the Mafex version, but if they put this head on that new Widow body and paint it up classic. OHHH BOY! That is gonna be the definitive version for sure! Amazing.

[@Xmanny87]

I love how it looks. Can’t wait for a proper 90’s Psylocke version on a super articulated female body.

[@alekhidell4925]

@@Xmanny87 Yessir broski!!

[@epiclvlpurple19]

I’m just not feeling that Psylocke head sculpt at all. It’s looks weird and out of place for a comic based figure plus it’s way too big.The Mafex Psylocke is just so good man. Though not perfect it’s still the BEST Psylocke figure ever made IMO But damn the whole team group shot at the end looks so epic!!! Another great review!

[@angeljimenez9909]

ML runs bigger than Mafex usually. The ML head is really close on the MAFEX.

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the review.

[@juniorfat]

Love your video review! I also did my Morph Kitbash (using Gambit mold). Thanks and more power @Xmanny!

[@bigdoggy6650]

Storm and Gambit 😌👍

[@toeknee1505]

AWEOME review and video!!!! Love it!!!

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks so much!

[@privateprivate31337]

We are in desperate need for a classic comic Nick Fury. And I think Forge is worse than Jubilee. The X teams I've wanted to complete is the Jim Lee Blue, Gold, training team, and the giant size X-Men team.

[@CBKwldge]

You probably already know this but I’d be careful with jubilee’s arms, that kind of resistance seems very similar to some ankles on ML, where some ankles would be extremely tight, you’d be able to move them but run the risk of breaking them as some of mine have. From what I remember, venompool wave Carnage, xemnu wave Red Skull, Infinity Saga iron man mk85, and my Vulcan, all have broken (minus Vulcan but his ankle is close.) Different joint but similar issue, the biceps/shoulders. A lot of mine are super hard to hinge outward. My endgame Thor wave Captain America, Fox magneto, Retro Sandman, etc. all have broken or is close to breaking, it’s not as common as the ankle issues, but still things they need to fix.

[@packrat2k7]

Would dearly love to get an X-Men team from the Cockrum/Claremont/Byrne era and/or the Fall of the Mutants run. An OG Psylocke (before the mind swap) would also be nice, but dunno if we'll ever get it since everybody seems to prefer the ninja version more.

[@cajuncoyote2039]

As for the Gambit head swap, the main problem is the head sits a little high. If it can sit a little lower it would definitely look better. Love the new headsculpt but not a fan of the yellow and blue suit.

[@mattDettling]

You can stop off a big majority of those tabs on banshee without harm to the stricter. Just use some sharp pliers

[@OIFJESSE]

Badass review, picked my set up already

[@thecollector616]

They've been really stepping it up I love it

[@Xmanny87]

Yeah. I’m happy with these sets.

[@fernandodelgado4329]

I don't have any room for these figures but man, That Psylocke head sculpt is beautiful, Gambit's looks better, Wolverine still does look cool as well as the others because the Uncanny X-MEN issue #275 suits all do look badass for this team, Hopefully we get a new comic Gladiator, Alandra, as well as others from Hasbro

[@Xmanny87]

Definitely need an updated Gladiator. And the rest of Lilandra’s body lol

[@brucelaborin2124]

I finally got my set of the Gambit, Forge, and Psylock set. I have to say, Gambit Is the best, followed by Psylocke. She's the best Psylocke, and if anyone ever gets the notion . . . repaint the body to look like the 90's Jim Lee and Chris Clairemont X-Men comics, and you'll have the perfect Psylocke. I think the Gambit head would look much better on the '97 Gambit figure. He doesn't look as bad on the first Gambit figure, but I like the '97 figure better, anyways. However, that coat looks awesome on him!!! Hey, just a thought, but now that I've messed with the 275 Gambit, I'm gonna glue his ace card into his fingers, because I've lost it twice already, and had to SCOUR the carpet for it since it keeps falling out, and I'm going to cut out the three cards from the extra hand and glue THEM into the left gripping hand, to pose with while he holds his staff in his right gripping hand.

[@marvelstoryteller9535]

I’m all for a Gambit update with two heads and the same cards as these!!! And of course, the removable trench coat!

[@Xmanny87]

Absolutely. A deluxe Gambit is needed.

[@marvelstoryteller9535]

@@Xmanny87 100%!

[@brennanbarnes7628]

I never had any issue really with the older Gambit & Psylocke head sculpts, they were fine. Then you get this set and see the new heads and it's night and day. And as amazing as Gambit & Psylocke look both Banshee heads are even better and comfortably in the top 5 best executed head sculpts hasbro's done IMO.

[@raitaylor]

I see they’ll never get tired of those same effects for, Storm.

[@Xmanny87]

[@caseysmith3329]

They look so sick together!

[@Xmanny87]

That’s the beauty of it. 🤩🤩🤩

[@cdubbart]

I might be in the minority, but I'm not that upset over the leg peg on Forge. My rational is it's a mechanical leg, so the peg is reminiscent of a servo or sprocket. It doesn't ruin the immersion or aesthetics for me. Also, Forge was never the diehard badass of the group so I don't need him to have an angry neutral head sculpt (and even if I did, the only change is honestly in the eyebrows). I still may want to track down that original Forge figure, just to kitbash the leg strap & boots on him. Overall, I love both sets & can't wait to get mine 😎

[@kuldipbinning1989]

Amazing. I got both sets this week unfortunately Banshee comes with two open right hands.

[@Xmanny87]

Nooooooo! Ask for a replacement wherever you ordered it from. Hopefully they’ll take care of you.

[@kuldipbinning1989]

@@Xmanny87 already asked, also asked Hasbro.

[@BryceYT.]

I would assume that they added the pin because it’s a robot leg and I kinda like that

[@Xmanny87]

Same here.

[@adrianoalves5829]

[@Xmanny87]

Phenomenal!

[@PimpfDM92]

This is a great job for Hasbro, in this wave my favourites are Galbit, that new head looks amazing, Psylocke looks very cool, as you mentioned it’s the best Psylocke version. And of course Banshee looks cool can’t wait to have him in his green classic colour though. Didn’t order thos 2 box set because it’s quite an amount for those orders , that’s a financial choice more than wanting to complete a X-men team… 😢. Great review as usual, what’s the next set prepared to be reviewed ? Peace ☮️, take care 🙏🏼👍🏻

[@acrobot4512]

The belt on my Wolverine is not sculpted but the gloves are , like Jubilee.

[@adrianglasgow422]

My thing is why isnt Banshees screaming head the same as the smirking head, meaning no mutton chops/different hair style smh.

[@kidwajagstang]

The 275 Wolverine will always be my favorite as the vintage 90’s figure (Wolverine 3rd edition) was my first Wolverine figure ever, so I was originally excited when Hasbro announced it. The claws are just the biggest disappointment. If I wasn’t so broke, I’d get another new 97 wolvie and try to match the yellow and paint them to match.

[@NorthCalActionFigures]

awesome review! how’d you get these so early??

[@mr.dollsam7474]

Joseph Omerta and Wraith are on the horizon using these training uniforms

[@troyr4521]

Definitely looking forward to whenever I'll receive both X-men 3 packs i had preordered off Amazon. I love to have Hasbro give us the new Gambit in his original costume.

[@Xmanny87]

Awesome! Yeah, they need to update him pronto.

[@InfernoDelta12]

The tabs would have been fine if they had just put two pieces of fabric on both sides to hide it and make it look the same from front and back. Especially cause the fabric is just sowed into the tabs.

[@darktitanx117]

We could get the Outback Team if they did: Armored Psylocke, Storm (Lightning Bolt), and Shirtless Colossus. If they were feeling generous: Madelyne, Gateway, and screaming head Havok. They could mix up the 6 strategically for 2 three packs.

[@GeekHangOver]

Pretty dope! Did you get yours from Amazon?

[@brucelaborin2124]

I'm glad to see ONE person celebrating this set. Almost all the reviews had too many complaints. I kinda agree and kinda don't agree with your dislike of the Jubilee figure, but it is what it is. I think the Forge figure is the weakest link, as far as I'm concerned. His face sculpt looks like he's just been "castrated", and has lost the will the live.

[@elohim613]

You should buy a second figure and cut the cloth off the first one and then super glue it the back of the cloth then you will have stripes on the front and back

[@heroicDale]

I thought the Gambit Head looked good on the old Gambit body. Does the head fit tight?

[@Xmanny87]

A little from what I remember

[@jasondarling1746]

[@JayWoods483]

Hasbro ML team did an excellent job from character selection, through design until production. It is unlikely that certain teams may NEVER get completed (read:Inhumans) so to get a complete team within a year is unprecedent. I loved your review, and to compliment this team while keeping in-line with the X-Men's 60th, I would like to see the 5 OG in their yellow and dark blues. It would make a very attractive display (sorry, too soon?) .

[@beastmastersage]

Can the Kitty Pryde Head fit on the Jubilee training uniform body? And if you have the X-Men 97 gambit, can you fit the training head on the 97 body?

[@alucardxx142]

Everything is getting more and more expensive, I don't care as long as they keep improving the articulation and the headaculpts, love the Banshee one, gambit and psylock, I just wish they release figures with real fabric, specially gambit and magneto,

[@Xmanny87]

Wow. I guess you are not familiar with my work and my story time segments in my reviews as I’m always providing background stories because I take pride of my comic knowledge. I’ve read the books. Nothing off wiki. I grew up reading comics my whole life since the early 90’s. I said “exception” because I know they weren’t on the team when this happened and to let people know they weren’t on this team either since most fans think that they were X-Men regulars at the time. No need to be a jerk about it with that “damn” insert. You took it a little too serious when it’s not that deep. Lol

[@alicea4965]

I like how ToyBiz made the females figures FEMININE and high status, like they are drawn in comics. Females are judged on looks and beauty and males on money in society. Hasbro is making their females uglier and uglier when it comes to their looks. Chests smaller or none at all (Omega Sentinel), cleavage covered (when it shouldn't be), no tight clothing or tight clothing on chest like ToyBiz did. It's ridiculous to me. The whole world is going in a sexual direction. We are forced to celebrate a whole month based on others' sexual orientation, Instagram models, Kardashians wearing almost nothing, see through clothing naked women everywhere, yet when it comes to FANTASY and TOYS lets just make it like the 1700s HERP DERP. Because we're dumb nerdy Hasbro that is completely clueless about what's REALLY happening in the real world or just fantasizing moms getting angry at us for making comic accurate figures due to our own anxiety. Instead of reality based thinking (objective) which is that will never ever happen. Moms aren't buying female figures for their boys anyways. I hate hasbro so much for what they are doing to female figures. END rant.
