Marvel Select Destroyer Articulation Mods and Review

I didn't have much exposure to the Destroyer except a handful of comic appearances and then of course in Thor, so when Diamond Select announced the character for their Marvel Select action figure line I wasn't too excited about grabbing it. But add boredom and a comic shop with it in stock and you get a Robo willing to drop some money. And holy hell am I glad I did, this thing is amazing! Yeah, I do a couple of articulation modifications but even without that it's just a great piece! The mods were inspired by NcurableKollector, you can check him out on Instagram below-

Also, I don't have many Selects, but I like getting the "big guys" like Venom, Hulkbuster, etc. They scale great with Legends.

[@TheFwoosh]

I do the same, or if it really catches my eye like the Thor. I have Rhino, Thing, Abomination, and a few others hanging out in various places.

[@j.boogie7639]

Brave man doing a custom in one take, respect man.

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man. Odd thing, it's gotten to where I didn't even think about it, just put multitool to plastic and started shaving away. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

[@VinsHourOne]

J. Boogie I second that have you worked a mod on Mr. Sinister. His cape looks like the old style car wash flaps. Amazing work man!

[@onemangang8879]

Another fantastic review! Thank you so much for showing the process of modding the articulation on this figure. I just got my Destroyer in the mail and absolutely plan on busting out the Dremel to up the pose-ability.

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm happy to have helped, glad you dug it!

[@jamesbrooks5391]

Thanks for showing the modding process. As someone who knows absolutely nothing about modding but would like to know more, it was very educational

[@TheFwoosh]

Awesome, glad I could help.

[@joaoangel5579]

Loved the modifying with Robo segment that was very surprising in a review. The Loki I believe is from the first Thor movie.

[@TheFwoosh]

I may try to do more of that in the future.

[@DemetedP]

This was a really cool video! Rarely do I see reviewers on the fly just customizing their figure on the spot even though a lot of us collectors do it just to get more out of our figures. All in all this was very refreshing to see Robo. :)

[@TheFwoosh]

It helped that I had seen it done and knew that it worked, but I used to love modding stuff. Just got away from it because of reviews and such taking a lot of my time. But if I can incorporate that into reviews, two birds one stone. Hmm. But I'm glad you dug it, I'll see if I can make it happen more often.

[@flamingchimichangas2556]

I just got this for Easter! I'm going to display it with the Hasbro Marvel legends Thor!

[@nassernasser4699]

That's a great marvel select figure! So much I had to pick up two of them. After watching your video I'm definitely going to try that mod brother. Thanks!

[@TheFwoosh]

It's so easy, everything is hidden for the most part.

[@nassernasser4699]

Thanks alot! By the way I love your videos, plz keep up the great work.

[@TheFwoosh]

I'll definitely try, I'm glad you dig them!

[@Megatron1170]

It's a good figure, the way they decided to make the body mold is nice. The only thing that bothers me a bit it how easy the shoulder pads come off at times.

[@JWilli1925]

Awesome to hear you were in OKC. if you're heading back at some point, give me a shout and I can hip you to a cool vintage toy store.

[@mocheeks2771rm]

Robo, awesome modification. You knocked it out. Wow😲😲😲😲😲

[@impishtrooper780]

Big ass Odin! That is now a figure I want! And I don't have any Marvel figures 😊 What a way to start. Besides looking awesome, it is a 'smart' design, with those hidden cuts. That made me like it even more. The added bonus head making it a 'Destroyer' - sure. Cute. I'll just display my armoured Odin, the All Father. Great tip on increasing the articulation, and fun to see the magic of customising on camera. More of that, please!

[@TheFwoosh]

When I've considered doing customizing on camera in the past I always thought painting or sculpting, which is a pain with the camera in front of me. But dremeling? Can do that all day long, haha, and it works out because I have so much that needs grinding.

[@Ultrazilla]

Damn, dude! Looks amazing. Been debating this one for awhile. My buddy keeps texting me pics of his, but seeing it in motion...yeah, I need it. Good simple mods, too! Thanks, man. Ordering this bad boy now.

[@KryptoKnight89_]

Just ordered this yesterday from my local comic shop it'll look great with the rest of my Asgardians. I'm mad I don't have that loki saw him on clearance at Walmart for $10 years ago when I first started collecting and passed on him I'm still kicking my self for that one

[@N3SNUTT]

If you slapped a cape on him with the Odin head then he'd look like a boss from Knights of The Round. Totally doing that with my figure!

[@TheFwoosh]

Wow, I haven't thought of that game in forever, and I don't remember if we made it far enough to hit a boss. I just remember the roommate constantly grabbing gold while I was fighting.

[@N3SNUTT]

The Fwoosh Lol I had it on my PSP when I was younger and while he wouldn't exactly look like a boss from the game he would look like he belonged in it.

[@jerretzwicker599]

I'm with you. I like Destroyer to be massive so I think the size is perfect for Legends.

[@mrcat3493]

I picked this up tonight from my local shop, he’s pretty cool. I had to straighten the sword, but it was otherwise prefect. He might look cool fighting the Legends version of Black Knight

[@noirerequiemii101]

I really like marvel selects cause I mostly keep my figures posed and still, so they're more static than Legends but nice to look at

[@jerretzwicker599]

Awesome mod, especially the head. Paint the underside head cavity black and you won't even see it. Thanks for showing this.

[@TheFwoosh]

Ah, that's true, good idea!

[@tomgreen708]

Love seeing the customising work. Keep it up

[@Magikknight76]

Great review bro!!! I don't really collect Marvel Select but this figure is so amazing I just have to get one. Although I'm not handy at all so I won't be using a dremmel on mine. Truthfully my heart stopped watching you work on yours LOL...

[@mickeybarber5095]

Loved the video and the mods! Keep em coming, really enjoyed this vid;)

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks, I'm thinking of doing the mod part more often, people seemed to like it.

[@jakethecollector1516]

I love when marvel select make the bigger bulky guys, might have to get him. Even tho I was never really into thor..

[@TheFwoosh]

Same here, exactly, but this one is super nice even if you're not into the property.

[@jakethecollector1516]

The Fwoosh keep your eyes open for the select age of ultron hulk. wicked figure

[@charlesblack1491]

Dam I need a Dremel! I've been getting into the habit of freeing up articulation on all the Selects I buy, but I use an Xacto Knife.

[@TheFwoosh]

Many many years ago I did the same but after a lot of bloody thumbs and fingers I finally invested, haha. Saves a lot of cuts and a lot of time.

[@segastationx]

I need this fig in my life.

[@TheFwoosh]

You do, it's definitely worth the $25.

[@brickbuilt5253]

I love the diamond select figures for the most part I was one of the suckers who got the really bad Spider-Man figure

[@TheFwoosh]

Which really bad Spider-Man?

[@georgefigueroa1938]

Fantastic job !!

[@esoshunters]

Robo are you going to buy the new marvel select Guardians of the Galaxy?

[@TheFwoosh]

Grabbed those the day they went up. I already have two Legends versions displayed, might as well go with the third set. That and they look awesome.

[@anthmdhobbies3162]

Damnit this review pushed me into getting him

[@TheFwoosh]

Heh, sorry.

[@shawnj547]

Awesome Figure

[@gmpnj29]

Much better. Love it.

[@aaronmauer7225]

Mine is arriving tomorrow. I wish it had fists

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I didn't think of that but I would have liked a set of fists.

[@marcus.b.t3676]

I have the wolverine select but I didn't take him

[@marcus.b.t3676]

Out I MEAN

[@doyouknowdawaymybrooda5823]

Can u also review the colossus marvel select

[@TheFwoosh]

It's an older figure but I'm thinking of doing some mods, may have to film that.

[@saiyajind-jasutin]

awesome work dude...🖒🖒😎

[@mrcornman25]

Robo, can I ask what heat gun you use?

[@TheFwoosh]

I use an older model of this one: bit.ly/2kqYzgo

[@mrcornman25]

The Fwoosh i see. Thanks man! Love your reviews

[@TheFwoosh]

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@marcus.b.t3676]

Out I mean

[@rubenv9652]

Why must he look like he let himself go

[@someguy7567]

I'm not a fan of this figure. It's just a bit blank.

[@Magikknight76]

Great review bro!!! I don't really collect Marvel Select but this figure is so amazing I just have to get one. Although I'm not handy at all so I won't be using a dremmel on mine. Truthfully my heart stopped watching you work on yours LOL...

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, man, sometimes you just gotta tear into the plastic of a toy you just opened. It's therapeutic.
