Marvel Movie Action Figures! Vol 1 - Before the MCU!!!

/ @carbonscoring
The MCU or Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the biggest movie franchises of all time. But before that success, Marvel produced a number of movies that were also huge hits - films like Balde, X-Men and Spider-Man. Plus there were some minor successes like Ghost Rider and Daredevil as well as a couple of stinkers like The Punisher and Electra. The good news is we got toys from almost all of these films from the likes of action figure makers ToyBiz and Hasbro. Let's go back in time and take another look at the early pre-MCU Marvel Movies and the action figures that came with them.

[@cannvasvisuals9407]

Dude. You gotta watch the Punisher. It’s bad or whatever but Kevin Nash plays a roided out Russian assassin and Thomas Jane improvised on set and stabbed him in the chest with a real knife. Nash had so much adrenaline running through him that he pulled it out and smiled on camera and kept the scene going.

I'll be honest. I was excited when you stepped up and said that Ben Affleck's daredevil was really good. I really love the 03 daredevil movie alot. I will say however you should watch the punisher movie. It is a good movie and besides stuff like Sam raimi's spider man,blade and the X-Men movies, the punisher is a really good movie and thomas jane perfect has the killing vigilante(also I have the figure and the face looks like if keanu reeves got buff)

A thing i always liked about Daredevil 2003 was the suit, that biker vibe was cool looking and checked the ''edgy'' box they wanted. Still, makes no sense such an agile character to use so much leather. Speaking of bikers, i recommend the first Ghost Rider, really fun to watch and at least better than Daredevil. Just don't bother for the sequel, it's really bad.

[@CarbonScoring]

DD was probably still very much influenced by the X-Men costumes - thank goodness they didn't do that to Spidey!!!

[@glennwelsh9784]

Correction - the first X-Men movie came out in 2000, not 2002. I also had the Toy Biz X-Men movie Wolverine figure of him in his black suit. It also had a slashing action feature and came with some mangled "metal" that he could break out of. I prefer it to the X2 Wolverine figure because it's softer claws didn't break off like they did on my X2 Wolverine fig.

[@CarbonScoring]

Thanks for the pick up - I goofed on that. I found that plastic piece in the bottom of the box, but I could't remember who it went with - it clearly has three claw marks slashed out - thought it might go with Cyclops...

[@titanguy7316]

Those are all great figures, even if not all of the movies are good. Those FF figures are especially epic (I've always wanted one of the Michael Chiklis Thing toys). I'm here to defend Kelsey Grammar's Beast and Punisher 2004, though! KG might not have been the first person I'd think of as Beast, and the makeup may have been overly obvious, but I think he still did the role justice. Even though it's not as good as the Netflix (now D+ I guess) series, 2004 Punisher was a cool movie. There were some weird changes from the comics, to be sure, but I liked some of the Easter eggs connected back to the Walter Ennis run (I believe it was). Thomas Jane did a great job showing the pain Frank Castle is in, and while it wasn't the big violent movie I know most were expecting, it was good as is for me. I also thought this version being more of a strategist-killer, manipulating situations for people to get killed instead of always going in guns blazing, was a nice departure from the norm.

[@paulwood1790]

Toy biz figures were fantastic gimmick good paint jobs not like the crap we get these days.

[@CarbonScoring]

Awww, c'mon, we can appreciate what ToyBiz did and still acknowledge the scope of figures Hasbro is producing and the unreal detail afforded with the new face printing technology. As this series continues, you will see some incredible improvements from Hasbro in their MCU figures. But I promise, when a figure sucks, I'm gonna say it sucks...

You should do a follow up at some point and review all of the modern non-MCU figures, including the 20th Anniversary X-Men/Deadpool figures, the Venom figure, and the Into the Spider-Verse figures.

Another great video. Those early 2000's movies bring back a lot of good memories of me with my then GF scouring the toys r us in Brooklyn by where she lives for some of those figures and seeing the movies. Like you, I didn't hate the Affleck Daredevil movie. I wasn't crazy with the casting of Kingpin, but once I saw the movie I was fine with it. Colin Ferrell as Bullseye was pretty funny. I'm also a big Fantastic Four fan, reading the books in the 80's when She Hulk was a part of the team, Thing's solo books, the Fantastic Four cartoon from Hanna Barbera that introduced me to the team as well as the vintage stories I would read. Hell, I even watched the New Fantastic Four cartoon with Herbie The Robot. But, I wasn't crazy about the movies. I am hoping that the new movie finally gets it right. And if Doom is in it, please oh please get him right.

Ghost Rider is pretty good but they “Smallville’d” the villains (they’re just in human form the whole time and wear clothes that are the same color as the villain in the comic) so Blackheart was just a dude in a black trench coat that could turn his face blue when he’s mad, and Mephistopheles was just an old man with a red ish hue to him. Pretty underwhelming.

Both Ghost Rider movies were pretty bad, but I love the second one as a guilty pleasure. It's unapologetic trash in the best possible way, unpretentious and comfortable being the insane disaster it is. Pretty much everything you'd want of a Ghost Rider film from the guys behind "Crank."
