Marvel Select Apocalypse X-Men Comics Diamond Select Toys Action Figure Review

[@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.

[@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.

[@Atlas-hu9wk]

Nah, Diamond has their miss and hits as well. The legends version is not bad either tho both are different versions so you can have your cake and eat it too.

[@biggdogg1975]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tRiLoGy184]

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

[@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."

[@raymondjones5909]

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

[@madeh86]

The select with the ML head is the GOAT apocalypse figure

[@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!

[@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 😂

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@mikey9906]

Kinda wish the ML was this color scheme

[@amf1504]

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?

[@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

[@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

[@Landon-l8y]

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.

[@mariajosesegura8111]

Hands down, the best economic apocalypse ever made

[@bootzz-h1c]

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

[@pinocchiohero]

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

[@Spawn3X5]

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

[@Weaponx8]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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~

[@MonsterMonarch]

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

[@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👍👍👍

[@dylanrinker6831]

Finally a non slow video!

[@theonlymatthew.l]

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

[@Lord.of.Apokolips]

Retro cannon gun can insert into the select gauntlet

[@worldlysaint]

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

[@elliotsmith4164]

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

[@knighttakespawn]

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

[@Slayerbeast100]

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

[@Swoosh616]

Selects over legends ALL 23

[@carlosreyes2545]

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

[@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.

[@watzOnUrBCK_80]

I'm gonna grab this sick Apoc

[@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

[@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

[@TylerNOS386277]

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

[@mrditkovich1746]

The face kinda reminds me of Laurence Fishburne

[@ChiefPeep]

👍

[@ojp5053]

I got this guy for 25 bucks at my comic store

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@ilikemonkey925]

Scorpion lost soul bent on revenge

[@dvw7665]

The retro carded apocalypse is much better I think

[@Fivewees]

I love pasta

[@Clay3613]

He's just too tall. Shame.

[@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

[@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

[@MiniPainterGamerDadD20]

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

[@XodusOnan]

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

[@blood852000]

This or marvel legends version

[@UchihaMadara-e6u]

This

[@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 😂

[@NinJa-qr1sp]

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

[@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.

[@cultofkraken666]

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

[@zephyrleapold6796]

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

[@Gambit2149]

Epic review, still love my BAF Apocalypse😎

[@en6853]

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

[@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.

[@derrickorourke8454]

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

[@LongHairedBandit]

Assolypse

[@CN.TSUKAIMA]

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

[@The_Ortiz]

That is a very good looking figure

[@BovLox]

Hello

[@phillipnunes8568]

Chuggernaut.

[@rickycuevas6479]

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

[@worldlysaint]

Love it

[@edwardxavier]

all are Ls

[@andrewcuevas4727]

First

[@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
