ShartimusPrime Biography:
Inspired by watching boring Transformers action figure reviews, the ShartimusPrime youtube channel was launched in 2008. Engaging the audience with an edgy sense of humor for adult collectors, action figure collecting has never been this fun, and videos are posted daily! Unexpectedly, the channel became more popular for Marvel Legends reviews and Spider-Man, Avengers, and X-Men collection display videos. After a few years, the channel has branched out to review other figure properties aside from Marvel Legends and G1 Transformers Masterpiece. Hot Toys, Star Wars, Diamond Select Toys, DC Collectibles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, Godzilla, Evil Dead, and The Walking Dead toy lines have all been added to the roster of nearly 2,000 video reviews. Japanese import figures from SH Figuarts, Bandai, Figma, Square Enix, and Medicom MAFEX have been favorites as well. More recently, Kotobukiya Statues (including the very sexy Bishoujo line) and NECA Toys have become more prevalent on the channel. Being a big fan of movies such as Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, Evil Dead, Pacific Rim, Aliens, and other films has lead the channel in the direction of also reviewing movies, movie trailers, blu ray releases, and tv shows. News updates for 2016 releases and beyond are also posted. Audience engagement is a big part of this channel, with giveaways and fan mail being read publicly once a week in the PO Box Pick-Up videos. Impressive “Shart-Art” is shared via social media and included in the opening theme song. The audience is also kept up to date with any changes to the channel, along with recent comic book pick-ups, unboxings, and action figure hauls. Stop-motion segments punishing the popular meme of the Big Time Let Down Spider-Man close most of the comparison segments, and are compiled together for guaranteed access to patrons. Lastly, all figure reviews close with a slideshow featuring dynamic poses of the figure inspired by ACBA, with the added bonus of music performed and recorded by ShartimusPrime himself.

[@obi-onekenerdi]

I love when Diamond makes the bigger characters that can be worked into a Legends display. (They’ve done it a lot, it’s like they know that that’s what a lot of collectors end up doing anyway)

[@zero-zephyr]

This Diamond Select Apocalypse is yet another example of better quality and value at a lower price compared to what Hasbro is putting out.

[@joselitopuzon2329]

if only Mafex and Shf are 24dollars figure too

[@pious83]

Indeed. Yet as mentioned in the video, out of the box this figure is worryingly stiff. Plus the oversized head.

[@robseman5212]

I dunno, while I think they get more points for sculpt, I tend to find Diamond Select lacking in articulation, stiff, and the paint just hits me as a bit drab. The metallic parts on this guy are good, but the body feels a bit muted.

[@kenny7209]

@@robseman5212 Diamond Select have certain restrictions put in place by Marvel, like having the line be 7 inch scale and not articulation oriented in order for them to not compete directly with Hasbro Marvel Legends.

[@robseman5212]

@@kenny7209 Didn't realize that. Thanks! Explains a lot, but I still don't prefer the approach they take.

[@tRiLoGy184]

The darker blue head sculpt looks amazing with the Select body. The colors match and the proportions are on point

[@raymondjones5909]

Definitely worth picking up with those accessories for the price and cheaper than marvel legends deluxe figures

[@megagrey]

The DST head sculpt reminds me of how Apocalypse looked on the X-Men Legends II cover. Seeing Archangel and Mr. Sinister with him also felt like a send-up to that game.

[@Thirsty4Chicken]

I thought the exact same thing.

[@skabcat242]

"I am the rocks of the eternal shore, crash against me and be broken."

[@majordeej]

You nailed the review perfectly! This Apocalypse is the best as you mentioned. The head is an issue, the wires are a bit too stiff as well, but I LOVE this figure! I have one on my X-Men shelf right now!

[@SirMoeThe2nd]

One of my most anticipated Selects. And both ML BAF Apocalypse figures are quite pricey ($30 for the head of the recent baf alone) but this dude is awesome. I finally have a good Apocalypse figure!

[@captaindeadpool980]

Absolutely love it, takes me back to watching the X-MEN series Age of Apocalypse. Great proportion compared to other diamond select and even some marvel ledgends especially the X-MEN 97 figures. Awesome figure.

[@lebronjohnson9838]

Man this figure headsculpt really does look like u shart lowkey 😂

[@1koolkat76]

Great Review of the Marvel Select Apocalypse. I've always wanted one. Finally it came out on the Marvel Select line and i just pick it up on BBTS. I have been collecting Marvel Select since 2011. Believed it or not, I have not open any of my 96 Marvel Select.

[@madeh86]

The select with the ML head is the GOAT apocalypse figure

[@Graffitiworkrob]

I generally really like him especially with the Retro head swap, but I do wish he was a bit bulkier/more muscular, I feel like the Legends body sculpt is closer to how I think of him and this reminds me more of the very first Toy Biz 5” Apocalypse from the early 90’s proportionally.

[@dylanrinker6831]

Finally a non slow video!

[@divinesuperultraturbolaser87]

I like the colors a lot, however the lack of a neutral head and the stiffness plus the fragile parts are big cons for me. I like the marvel legends retro one quite a lot and would love to see it in these colors though.

[@mikey9906]

Kinda wish the ML was this color scheme

[@andersonmondinifavarin4288]

Totally agreed. If ML retro card was in this color scheme, it would be definitely my choice. We just need to wait for Hasbro to re-release. We know the will. 😂

[@pious83]

It's almost as if the ML was supposed to be in the TAS line. Which would be the appropriate colour scheme. But just got released as a regular retro card figure. It's not like the OG Toy Biz figures were purple and blue?

[@l.p.5703]

I love the paint and colors of the Legends build a figure more. But this one seems better for size and articulation. I might get this one since the legends BAF is smaller and way more expensive.

[@MonsterMonarch]

He's obviously gonna dwarf them but I'd love to see how he looks with the Mafex Jim Lee X-Men

[@Spawn3X5]

Sold out while im fine with hasbros i much prefer this one and its hand weapons

[@k4m1l83]

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't like this figure too much. And everything is really cool but the head destroys everything for me and I'm not talking about the size but about how the head itself looks, well it's absolutely not my apocalypse, hasbro and toybiz are more to my taste. + I have the impression that his legs are kind of skinny idk. Concept art was 100 times better and I would like to have such an apocalypse. The head looked better, it seemed to be buffed itself. And unfortunately, finally pass. apparently the head is too important part of the figure for me. maybe that's why I got rid of the first retro goblin. the one from vhs will be gold unlike him XD

[@bilbobcap4372]

your awesome love ur vids whats ur favorite actin figure ever and what are ur thoughts on sentiel peter b

[@TheGrandpaLore]

I don't know which one to choose, the retro card or the marvel select...

[@carlosreyes2545]

This is a dope figure! Diamond select had a lot of potential for the future!

[@Weaponx8]

I’m sold. Definitely getting this. Solid review as always

[@Swoosh616]

Selects over legends ALL 23

[@docdoc2011]

Since Marvel Legends refuses to give us a proper release of classic colour Apocalypse (BAF was not a proper release), may as well get this Select and call it a day~

[@ChiefPeep]

👍

[@navyzaid]

this Apocalypse remind me a lot to the Version fron X-men vs Street Fighter Videogame, because he have to attacks with the drill and the Spike ball

[@Cream_Man_Tan]

I’m a huge apocalypse fan I’ve bought every figure I could get my hands on of him. I actually only collect apocalypse figures lol

[@danielbenjaminmesser6234]

The Legends tubers can be swapped in too…. they are glued in the back of the selects but you can heat them up really hot and loosen the glue…. with the legends tubers you can move the arms all the way up without disconnecting.

[@Xyz123idk]

I love pasta

[@xtroyboy7338]

It looks like his suit was made for a helmet. If it had one, what do you think it would look like? I wonder? Love your COLECTION👍👍👍

[@user-ez5mq1cu2g]

The thing that sucks a lot about mine is that the collar has a massive dent in it and it kinda ruined it for me, also the silver on the thighs were painted badly and the paint went all over the blue on the legs.

[@elliotsmith4164]

First time on whatnot last night . That's a lot of fun and good tunes

[@ojp5053]

I got this guy for 25 bucks at my comic store

[@diegosolano3570]

It’s so hard to choose when the retro apocalypse is better, on the other hand, the select colossus is better but they don’t scale well with each other 😢 Any alternative would be appreciated

[@PunkMetalero9666]

I like the marvel legends, it reminds me of X-Men vs Street Fighter and animated series design, but I can't deny the accesories on the marvel select are superior

[@siniquezu]

I think you accidentally left the aoa head on your baf apocalypse. The aoa head has only one point on his forehead. The baf has two.

[@dvw7665]

The retro carded apocalypse is much better I think

[@OchoWins]

Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up in the 90’s, but i don’t love this design of apocalypse. I prefer the other updated versions of him. Still dope figure tho gotta luv the blues

[@mrditkovich1746]

The face kinda reminds me of Laurence Fishburne

[@ilikemonkey925]

Scorpion lost soul bent on revenge

[@Slayerbeast100]

Apocalypse is one of the coolest x men villains great figure and review

[@TylerNOS386277]

What if an advanced Apocalypses jumped through different universes, and made 4 other Apocalypses his 4 horsemen?

[@pious83]

I now have the three as a display: AoA Apocalypse, Retro/TAS Apocalypse and the Selects. They really look good together. Hopefully we might get a Rise of Apocalypse En Sabuh Nur or even Cyclopalypse someday to complete the range of designs. Also, it would be nice if Hasbro or Diamond remembered that Apocalypse has more than one Horseman. Also that various other characters EG War Hulk, have assumed the mantle.

[@vahlen5281]

Yeah, it is long overdue that we get Apocalypse in one of his more egyptian themed armors.

[@knighttakespawn]

I prefer the included head sculpt to the Hasbro versions. Whole figure looks perfect!

[@BovLox]

Hello

[@Smoke_and_Mirrors23]

The only thing I really did not like on this figure was the head sculpt but it does look amazing with the ML sculpts. Those power coupling on the hands constantly detaching would send my OCD into overdrive.

[@angrym0nkeysh0w]

I actually think the headsculpt looks quite perfect in person. The only thing that bothers me are those cables, which are difficult to work with

[@en6853]

This guy looks fantastic. Still haven’t got one get, this sways me for sure

[@Springfox099]

Have the figure, but during swapping out the drill arm out, one of the small wires broke off so I had to hot glue it on. That just sucks. Good figure be extra careful swapping parts

[@MiniPainterGamerDadD20]

Yeaaaah I need to pick up this one. Apocalypse is easily my fave X-villain

[@EAwatzOnUrBCK]

I'm gonna grab this sick Apoc

[@cultofkraken666]

I have it preordered and I cannot WAIT. Should be coming with my Batmobile and Keaton Batman.

[@bouchamr]

Awesome video and I like this figure, I bought 2 one broke but i got to save the weapons and I painted the A and the Knee Boot Silver and thanks ShartimusPrime for letting me know about the head swap!

[@theonlymatthew.l]

I think imma buy the Apocalypse BAF head to put on this Select figure. 👍

[@worldlysaint]

Best Apocalypse. Instant buy when I saw him in person. Affordable price!!

[@zephyrleapold6796]

Like it a lot better with the head swap. The feet seem small too.

[@LongHairedBandit]

Assolypse

[@Gambit2149]

Epic review, still love my BAF Apocalypse😎

[@derrickorourke8454]

Mine is in my loot with BBTS. Really looking forward to getting him

[@NinJa-qr1sp]

I did the head swap with the retro Apocalypse too. Sooooo much better.

[@mariajosesegura8111]

Hands down, the best economic apocalypse ever made

[@phillipnunes8568]

Chuggernaut.

[@SoulpowerwithFreakpower]

I put an Age of Apocalypse head on mine. Not comic appearance perfect, but way better sizing and I like the sculpts better on other Apocalypse figures. Awesome figure though.

[@Darkseid.of.Apokolips]

Retro cannon gun can insert into the select gauntlet

[@WilliamCruz86]

Beautiful figure. As I wanted to pay $30 for it, but here in Brazil it is much more expensive than that, unfortunately. 😢

[@allanr.9822]

Hahaha colecionar aqui é um trabalho de paciência e cartão de crédito 😂

[@The_Ortiz]

That is a very good looking figure

[@rickycuevas6479]

I like the color on the select, but I'm going to have to stick with my retro Apocalypse.

[@worldlysaint]

Love it

[@Jestin612]

I do like 👍 it. I'm not going to purchase it now though. I ❤️ the diamond select version of him that I got. It's definitely in my top 30 favorites

[@Haitou1493]

Great figure. I collect 1:18, i think to buy this guy to put it with my Marvel Universe, it will be a huge figure, fits nicely.

[@XodusOnan]

I wonder if you can unplug the cables from the back and use the ones that came with the Marvel Legends Apocalypse BAF

[@FREKKI]

The only thing I don’t like about this one is how stiff the tubes are. Took the chest off and cut off the weird plugs that are in there for no reason but now it’s great.

[@CN.TSUKAIMA]

I Still Like The Toy Biz BAF Version More Is Still My Favorite One of All Time

[@blood852000]

This or marvel legends version

[@user-nb6hz4ye3z]

This

[@Clay3613]

He's just too tall. Shame.

[@andrewcuevas4727]

First

[@edwardxavier]

all are Ls

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

Marvel Select is sometimes better than Neca & Mcfarlane Gold Label

[@kronslaughtkvlt5730]

This Apocalypse is Fire, with more articulation and a better looking head it would've been a home run. BAF Apocalypse head looks Great on this Select. The stock head is 👎

[@danielallen5551]

Thanks again for the review. I'm just ordered one for my Hasbro X-Men setup because I wasn't feeling the retro apocalypse I have.

[@blood852000]

This or marvel legends version
