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.

[@graefx]

Unique sculpts, solid paint apps, affordable price, decent articulation, and a bunch of characters. Todd is lovingly making an action figure line that he can be excited about and for fans without any concerns to stockholders or a big profit margin. Artist driving company with decent pockets. I'm excited. 6 inch would have been nice but if this puts other companies on notice and pushes quality forward, I can get behind a good product.

[@caseysmith3329]

The more reviews I watch of these guys, the more they grow on me even though I don’t really collect DC. I know I’ll be more satisfied if I wait for the Mafex Hush Batman and Superman.

[@martinmichael7194]

I realize I am kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online ?

[@meaniestora]

while many bashing on Mcfarlane DC, I think they look great!!!

[@tacobobthecat]

some look good. some others are not in that same group.

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

Sorry I think Mcfarlane's look much better and they will only get better if they continue making more DC figures

[@akoito4795]

Wow. This comment aged really well, seeing how McFarlane toys is doing exceptional work in their DC figures

[@frobjorn2201]

Hell yeah, hope Todd give Batman a little break tho

[@invincigaz4067]

😂 I was wiping my screen for a few minutes there till I realized it was a spec on your camera... Got'em 🤣 Thanks for the review man, the more I see these the more I'm liking them

[@MrE_]

Me too! I thought it was just me!!

[@billvinson7859]

I continued wiping the screen even after I realized it was a spec on the camera.

[@cmbrock1]

These figures could have been perfect if they were tweaked just a little bit. I have not seen anyone yet that show these next to Marvel Select......I would like that.

[@Jbags3719]

Shartimusprime makes me so happy... I love looking up vids about the figures that I have and love and see that someone else shows the same love for figures too. It makes me feel like I have someone to talk to about the figures. Thanks man your a great youtuber and deserve more appreciation..

[@fadidabban]

A Superman that can’t flight pose is as useless as a pen with no ink

[@supremalex3572]

Tell that to the bully I stabbed with an inkless pen on his forearm when I was in 4th grade.

[@ciscoduran5033]

You can at least do hovering poses. When have legends ever have you a flight stand? Oh my bad

[@ciscoduran5033]

Also what Superman figures can move their heads back that far? The shf maybe? Lol

[@ericvalenz]

I dremeled the inside of the head so the neck connector can move further back for that flight pose.

[@themcmc]

@@ericvalenz Show us a pic! An imgur link maybe?

[@DD-pi1ks]

I wasn’t gonna get that Batman figure cause his torso looked so weird in the promos but your review has pushed me into a maybe.

[@MrE_]

Yea but the superman is kinda bad with the articulation

[@MrE_]

And I hate those kinds of ankles and wrist joints

[@DD-pi1ks]

Mr.E I don’t like the wrist and ankle joints either. I wish Superman had double jointed elbows but if it came at the expense of having smaller arms I’ll take the single jointed elbows. Batman’s arms are too think imo

[@antonmasters8626]

Had no clue they were out now But they look Great 👌

[@raglyph]

@@DD-pi1ks unbelievable we berate hasbro for single jointed elbows on females. And the maniacs at mcfarlane claim to listen to fans. How the hell can i pose superman throwing haymakers with single jointed elbows!?

[@antonycuff4512]

All of the best dc figures were in the 7 inch scale , with the exception of a few figures the McFarlane figures would look out place next to the generic looking Mattel figures even if the scale was on point !

[@spidergeek4997]

I really did wish these were still 6" Scale

[@kinexus3181]

I'm in agreement with you.

[@GacyOtter]

I'm mixed, because I loved the Mattel figures and they were more of a 6.5 inch scale.

[@beeyaybaracas3240]

@@GacyOtter yep, Todd should've set his ego aside and tried to mimic Marvel Legends, who dominates the industry. Mattel was finally getting there. Dammit

[@redreploid1713]

Beeyay Baracas Mattel was far from getting there lol. You may enjoy the figures but you gotta admit they weren’t the same quality as Marvel Legends

[@ComicCrossing]

Meh. Marvel can keep their crappy 6'' scale. These fit in decently with the Multiverse stuff already, and very well with the DC Essentials line.

[@jchesh7617]

I think they did a great job with the big 2. The Superman has me more pumped than the Batman but you sold me on this Batman. Great review sir! I'm in for this line head first.

[@darkk_darkk]

That superman figure looks awesome i just wish he had the yellow s on the back of his cape.

[@spoodurmin9742]

[@StillSymbiotic]

that batman is figure is top 10 worst batman figures man

[@RadtechCustoms175]

U know I honestly think, people are missing the boat on these figures, they are expecting McFarland to make these figures like everyone else probably would make them, when have u know McFarland to EVER do that. The figures are supposed to be based on that comic or show at that time, so if they drew the comic with skinny legs, well it’s sculpted that way, if they were drawn with exaggerated proportions, then they are sculpted that way. People complain that figures don’t have enough ankle articulation or vertical wrist articulation, but then complain of the way that it was sculpted. I mean come on they are $19.99!!

[@pwl4life]

Really curious to see what a head swap would look like with this Superman head on the Unchained Armored body.

[@ShartimusPrime]

Ahhh, good idea. I tried this and the Unchained Armor head doesn't really come off so easily.

[@Miadaskate]

So happy I ordered that Superman.

[@figment616]

Sick! Been waiting for this!

[@themacewens]

This review may have sold me on the Superman figure mainly due to that extra gripping hand so I can take photos of Supes using a machine gun.

[@mariochaosspear]

I'm still holding out for the Mafex HUSH Batman and Superman. Once those come, I don't think I'll need another Batman or Superman for the rest of my life.

[@tyfromthe5thdimension26]

Hopefully so especially for that price I don't think I would buy another superman or batman either

[@terrymcginnis5299]

Read your comment then looked them up, IM SOLD. Gonna preorder those.

[@mariochaosspear]

@@terrymcginnis5299 Preorder them off an import site like AmiAmi if you can. They'll be about 70 bucks as opposed to 90.

[@beeyaybaracas3240]

Never bought a high end "Legends" scale figure before, but thanks to Mcfarlane, I'll be buying Mafex for the first time, and I'll be content. I mean SHIT, Nightwing's like 8 inches! xD

[@pmgerard]

My biggest issue there aside from Mafex having QC issues is that their Hush figures are solicited at 6.3 inches. Making them shorter than DCUC and Marvel Legends. Also, I hate soft goods on anything less than 12 inches. All I see are stitching and seams and fabric that never hands properly. Give me a rubber cape any day.

[@tuhinkundu2758]

Thanks for the review🤗 now I can exchange my DC essentials Superman with this McFarlane one. Way better looking and better articulation

[@MisterSouji]

I will have to say that with essentials and a few NECA being in 7 inch scale these scale with current and future figures. I feel like the line has some proportion and articulated (like the weird shoulder things and chest cuts). Like DC Icons started to do I can see this getting better and being a really good line.

[@dharmawanagiri4493]

I just happen to found that the parts covering the shoulder gap is mostly installed in reverse for this superman 1000. That's why it looks quite weird. But they did change the installation of the shoulder parts in the 2 pack version making it looking way better. So you can try to remove the hand and take out the shoulder parts and flip them and put it back again. Once this is done the shoulder of superman will look wider and flush.

[@yahshuashannonchrist5233]

I personally love the 7 inch scale. Not bad at all!

[@ronb113]

I ordered the Superman. It’s a bit larger than I hoped, but with the flight stand I’m hoping I can set up a good Superman vs Thor display

[@fishbonezcollectz]

Wonder if you could get the card graded? If they are in decent shape, might be cool to display it with the figure.

[@demonlxrd5492]

Best adult collector of every year your you tube channel has existed hands down

[@Murcielampirez]

My disappointment is that superman does not have double elbows.

[@alfredjohnlauzon2435]

agreed. That was my main disappointment when I got this figure. That and the lack of thigh swivel. But everything else is great.

[@frobjorn2201]

It is ridiculous

[@_gelato.god_4265]

Hey Shart, how would you (or will you be) rank this new line from best to worst??? I preordered the Batman, Superman, and the Batman who laughs but I’m still on the fence about the other figures.

[@matecaljkusic480]

Ist the Super Friends Multiverse Superman you showed in the video the closest I can get to the Super Powers Superman from Kenner from the 80's which punched his arms when you squeezed his legs together?

[@thebat8997]

Im a big DC fan im happy i can now start my DC collection

[@AnimalTTC]

I've picked up Harley and Supes Comic figs so far being a lil gun shy with these after initial images. Now that I've had time to mess with them I gotta say they're not perfect but there is a lot of potential here. Some of the misses are easy fixes like hands included (that said at least there are option hands) and others like articulation will require a new go on the drawing board. That all said I'm optimistic going forward.

[@thehitmanhunter6920]

I definitely want to get these figures 👍 and I agree I like to pose all my figures together and they need to make them in a 6 inch scale great review as always. 🔥

[@deesniper]

These look overall pretty good. I wish the superman could look up more though. Other than that, I'm happy to be getting these. Nice review 😁👍

[@TheDing1701]

When you said, "Stop with the dirty minds!" I laughed because in the small amount of time between the flight stand and the "dirty" scolding, I had already gone there! I'm 49, but my 12-year-old mind has been trained to pick up on this kind of stuff for decades!

[@jefferyjones8399]

I just picked up the Batman. It's excellent in person.

[@pdelamar30]

Awesome review it’s so kool to see my name on yr videos so honored to be a Patron

I seen them at walmart today got both superman and batman. Seen the animated batman too... this is a brand new toy line right?

[@toxicmasculinity6554]

I’m thinking of ordering these on BBTS, but I’m used to Amazon and eBay. Are BBTS trustworthy? And also, are they slow on delivery? Thx

[@icemoney24]

have had both of those figures for awhile and love them both

[@zipperedsoup69]

Shartimusprime says that he doesnt like Dc essentials because they re-use parts a lot for their figures but Marvel legends is 98% the same

[@jeremybarmann5976]

Comparing essentials to Legends is apples and oranges. Essentials is painfully obvious as soon as the figures are in hand that they share the exact same body mold, just different paint. Legends has dozens of different torso/legs/arms combos to reuse, and it's not super obvious from one figure to the next. Not to mention all the different separate/floating pieces they use, Marvel Legends are mold reuses done RIGHT. As many as they crank out a year, its absurd to think they wouldn't reuse. Why not?

Do the Revoltech style ankles work better on these figures than they do on the DC Essentials? They are really bad functionality wise on those figures, and really don't seem to belong on a 7 inch scale line at all since they can't handle the weight and size.

[@jeancaceres7670]

Great review! I do believe that either Batman's head is to small, or the torso to big. Superman has the same torso, but looks good, because his head and arms are bigger than Batman's.

The sculpt on those diaphragm joints just really throws the eye, the lines look frustratingly unclean. Is the Batman head too small and neck too long? Seems there are alot of issues with the proportions.

[@lilithdemonia74]

Weird torsos, weak puny legs and lack of articulation. And Superman can't look up? Has only single hinged elbows? No yellow S on the cape? Are you serious?

[@raglyph]

Yep youd think this was some type of nightmare

[@ComicCrossing]

Superman doesnt have his stupid S on the back of his cape anymore. its based on more recent comics.

[@raglyph]

@@ComicCrossing ok fair enough how about the lack of double jointed elbows? How about his scale in comparison to other figures in this line?

[@ComicCrossing]

@@raglyph his scale is fine. Batman and Superman being around the same height has always been the case. Its others in the line whose scale is off. Namely the Harley Quinn which is undoubtedly the worst in the first wave. Especially given that its supposed to be a comic based figure. The elbows are perfectly functional and fine. You dont need that on every single figure, and if it happens eventually, great. If it doesnt, who the hell cares.

[@raglyph]

@@ComicCrossing good to know thanks. Ill pass on everything for now. Im interested in the movie harley and batman who laughs.

Thanks for the review. Respect your opinion, but disagree that we've never gotten a solid DC 6.5" inch line. The DC Classic and DC Universe lines were well done, had a consistent scale and covered almost every DC character. I admit that towards the end, Mattel were cutting corners and QC went down hill, but the initial waves were fantastic.

[@nicholaskoulouris7492]

I am happy they are 7 inch scale. There gonna look great next to Marvel Selects...So thanks Todd

I’m glad they scale well with Essentials. My Wonder Woman looks like she’ll fit in well with these guys. I wonder how McFarlane Batgirl will scale with these guys. In another video, she was taller than the Batman who Laughs, which I’m hoping it’s that TBWL just runs short.

That cape flair on Batman is cool.

[@josephraya1417]

Hey shart pleas review the hellbat armor next.

[@remy9536]

Agreed with the downside without the no "S" logo on the back of the cape. I'm old school to the Christopher Reeve Superman, so every rendition of my Superman/figure needs to have the "S" logo at the back of the cape. It separates Superman cape from the rest of the generic super heroes cape.

[@dylanlewis5113]

[@tyfromthe5thdimension26]

Seen people finding them online and looking very clean aswell paint seems to be clean on almost all of them from what i have seen

[@pmgerard]

Saw 3 Supermen in a store. The metallic S is a separate piece and one had about 2 mm of yellow paint sticking out from UNDER the S. Otherwise clean. Of the 3 Batman, 2 had a bit of uneven flesh paint UNDER the chin but all 3 were otherwise solid. These figures all use a minimum of paint really, unlike ML, and instead tend to use molded plastic in different colors glued in. The only paint (aside from maybe wash) on Batman are his belt, chin, and eyes. His symbol is a separate piece molded black and glued in. Superman’s paint is limited to head, hands, and belt as well for the most part. His S is a separate piece of plastic painted one color glued overtop a yellow painted portion of his chest. Almost everything is molded in the color it is supposed to be and accent colors are separate pieces glued in. So paint rub won’t be a huge issue with these. No joints are painted. That might also be why John Stewart looks weird because McFarlane apparently REALLY works hard to make sure that no rubbing surfaces use any paint on them.

[@DesignIncase]

Got these two figures. These two figures in particular don't really have a huge chance to screw up the paint on the main body. The color is in the plastic. With Batman I really see some issues in the lining between the mask and the exposed mouth. Some people may see paint issues with the belt as that is also painted. Though it's two big areas. With Superman, similar deal. Paint on the belt. Mine you can barely make out the red layer beneath. Issue with Yellow paints in general. The metallic S I think is where you'll notice some issues just because it's the metallic. I only saw the one figure which I purchased. Pretty clean for me. Then of course the face could potentially be an issue between just because there is some paint for shading. Really the next step would have been to go the Hasbro route and make the belts separate from the main body. So DC heroes generally they should be good since there's not much color complexity. Though If they do New52 Flash with all his gold lines, I could see some issues.

[@jacobcooper1088]

just got the batman today and it is way better than i thought it would be, i have a lot of fun with it

[@UncleScorch]

Great review - great figures. Bought them both and couldn’t be happier. Commenters griping about them not being 6” scale need to stop whining. McFarlane toys proper should police their promo photos, though: in person these figures far outshine the photo layouts.

[@powwow522]

I really don't get the heat about it being 7 inches. I think they look amazing. And has better paint apps, character specific bucks and sculpting than ML's.

[@DesignIncase]

For some people, their whole collection are in these 6 inch size, especially if they buy Marvel Legends. So these figures really stand out. Personally I'd prefer if the Hasbro stuff were in 7 inch but it's too little too late I guess. I think another problem is you aren't a Superman/Batman fan(or have plenty of them) then this Superman/Batman themed first wave is a little boring.
