NECA GOLIATH Gargoyles Ultimate Action Figure Review

[@Tacopotamus42]

Can I just point out how much I love your honesty and detail towards every aspect of an action figure? Seriously, I really appreciate that. You mention the good, the bad and the ugly on all your reviews. I’m not a Gargoyle fan and will not be picking up this line, but I ALWAYS use your reviews (if available for the toy I want) before I make a purchase. Keep it going Anthony!

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

Stoked for Thailog (Both versions) and a Xanatos that’s hopefully in the red exosuit. As for my favorite Gargoyles character: I would have to say Brooklyn. I’ve always loved his character development, colors and design.

[@Mike-zx6sl]

I'm so excited for this line. I watched Gargoyles after school every day as a kid, and when Disney+ launched Gargoyles was the first thing I watched. There's so many characters I have hopes they'll release like Coyote, Macbeth and Oberon. It's gonna be really cool to get these guys on my shelf.

[@fuser4397]

After heating up and wrestling with this figure I discovered his lower waist does in fact swivel side to side 360 even. And his poses improve greatly. Also his shoulders do go strait up greatly 180 degrees without a fear of breaking.

[@biohybrid_396]

I'm new to neca figures.. what's your way of heating the figures??

[@yoy5903]

@@biohybrid_396 I'm quite new too but they're usually delicately painted so I just use a hair dryer for a few seconds and it works ok for me.

[@JurassicRod]

These figures looked amazing and as a huge Gargoyles fan I wanted to collect them. But after getting Goliath I have no desire to buy anymore. The wings are so big, heavy and clumsy it makes the figure unpleasant to pose or play around with and unsafe to stand on display without it falling over. The eyes on my Goliath were wonky too.

[@puertoricansithlord4129]

I've had this guy pre-ordered from BBTS for the longest. Can't wait to finally have him in hand soon. I was and still am a huge fan of the series and will definitely be buying up the entire collection as they release them over time. This series is chock full of awesome characters: Zanatos, Demona, The Wolf Pack, The Archmage, Thailog, Macbeth, The Weird Sisters, Fang, Talon, The Hunter.....Jesus I can go on and on. I hope they end up making them all over time 🤞

[@dirtygod6051]

Hey u got yours because I just cancelled mime and got one from Walmart

[@TAKTAK_Toys]

I remember the cartoon when I was probably around early teens, I checked it out again on Disney Plus and Gargoyles is seriously impressive, the writing and character development is excellent, better than some films I’ve seen, such a great cartoon and these Neca figures look really solid 👍

[@DieRomantic5000]

The Pack are the bad guys. They are a clan. okay I'm done. Your custom Gargoyles are what got me into your channel. They look excellent. My favorite gargoyle is probably Demona, then Goliath.

[@Justincredibletoys]

That group was so underrated. They can easily go to the Toe to toe with some of the G.I. Joe villains as far as likability.

[@stevewegling8070]

Anthony, he is a wonderful release. Demona is also a favorite of mine too. I cannot wait to see her in person. The rest of the Manhattan clan all have different personalities that play off each other well. Their designs should all translate, Lexington's wings will be a testament to execution of they get it right. Lexington being the the next one to possibly have extra wings either for himself or others. His smaller size like Bronx makes this possible. A roaringly good review.

[@romesrepublic]

Yeah, I'm totally collecting this whole line. My inner child demands it. I loved Gargoyles when i was a kid, i even managed to track down the complete tv series a few years back.

[@Lee86THUNDER]

Awesome figure. Thats the thing about gargoyles is that there are so many good characters good and bad that its tough to pick a favorite. I hopey go deep with this line.

[@kaiju-odanny9778]

"1,000 years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of Gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect. Frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now here in Manhattan.... the spell is broken! AND WE LIVE AGAIN!! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles!"

[@JoshuaModerwell]

I have to admit, the Ultimate Goliath action figure looks quite impressive. I've been thinking about getting the NECA Gargoyles action figures myself. I hope a reissued Goliath figure will be re-released at Walmart and Target for those who missed out on the first release.

[@DimsumGarbage]

your figure’s paint job (specifically the shading) is wayyy different than mine. mine was the right amount of targeted and subtle. still looks amazing

[@Valiant008]

I know others have said it already but they are a clan. The Pack was in the show as recurring antagonists. My Goliath has an extremely loose right hand at the wrist joint - it's just shy of falling out under its own weight. You can see the gap-age with all the alternate hands and can twirl it around with just a flick. Very disappointed in that part. Otherwise it is an amazing figure from my all-time favorite childhood show. It does take up HUGE real estate on the shelf, however.

[@Ryan_TheBold]

I’ve been going through a rewatch with my family since it’s all on D+ and man I want soooo many figures from this line! Every time a new rad suit or design shows up I just think to myself “dear NECA…” and hope for the best!

[@robertfuentes9677]

Let's just appreciate that AnthonysCustoms made a long video for this one!

[@GregXB3]

The gargoyles are the clan, the Manhattan Clan after they discover other surviving clans out there. Yeah, the Pack are a group of villains... animal themed. Fox, Wolf, Jackal, Hyena, Dingo. Fox leaves to marry Xanatos; she's replaced by a robot named Coyote. Dingo eventually leaves to reform and become a hero. The others upgrade into cyborgs and genetic monsters. Fun characters, I hope NECA gives us figures... they said they intend to go deep into the lore.

[@Animato808]

Definitely gonna try and pick this up. My favorite gargoyle was always Lexington

[@Nokendo_]

honestly. The Gargoyles were unfortunately never popular as the Ninja Turtles. So I wonder why new toy figures release in this time. Maybe they working on a new show?

[@rulyarmaghetto]

I’d love to know your opinion Goliath’s caped wings coming with Bronx. I think it’s great idea since he’s a smaller character. We can build the clan and a better main character.

[@supercool2447]

Saw this today at walmart, so cool I couldnt resist, I added him to my collection of figures to display on top of my dresser

[@hedgehogaction]

Thx - can we actually see a comparison of your customs w this guy? I just think it would be interesting to see them side by side - ty-

[@N7gamer1337]

Bronx is set to release Spring and he’ll come with an extra set of wings for Goliath! 🔥

[@chrisjordan8109]

I ventured to make draped wings for this guy and the idea for the neck should help with how I have the wings in the back, thanks for the review I always learn something worth knowing

[@jacobcox4565]

I feel like the wings should've had more articulation. At least a way for the wings to fold up into that iconic "wing cape."

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Cape wings are coming with Bronx.

[@aironcruz7443]

Anthony customs really is the anthony fantano of the action figure community 💯

[@toyinfiniti5458]

Wow amazing can wait to get my boy Hudson and Bronx

[@jakegalloway6191]

Great review! Just a note on articulation I found out tonight with my figure, the torso does move at the waste below the ball jointed upper. Mine was stuck so I had to wrap a rubber band around it and twist. My figure came out of the box with the lower abs not centered and I was happy to find the swivel peg jount did move to center it with the upper torso.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I think that's meant to be glued. Perhaps yours was glued while crooked?

[@optronixatron]

I just bought this figure a few days ago, and I love it. The sculpting and articulation is pretty great. It feels great to play with, and I can't stop looking at it. However, there are a few problems that I've noticed after playing with it for a while. Besides the problems mentioned in this video, I've had some paint rubbing from the hair against the back and the loin cloth on the abs and legs. It's not the worst, but it is a bit annoying. I'm a bit worried about how the wings will hold up over time. The weight and plastic used make me feel like they'll become loose over time, or shatter if dropped. Despite all of this, I'm in love with this figure, and I can't wait for future releases. This is probably one of the few Neca figures I just had to buy.

[@Urface93095]

I used to love this show as a kid. I still have a couple old figures from the show's time & NECA killed it on this one.. you can't beat the product for the price. I'm excited to get mine!

[@darkwoods1954]

Coldstone was always my favorite. I really hope we get him from NECA.

[@unpaid82]

I can't wait to see and eventually buy the rest of the figures in the line. Goliath is my favorite gargoyle followed by Brooklyn and Hudson.

[@RadtechCustoms175]

Hey Anthony or anyone else who may know the answer. The tiny holes in the tail, what are they for? I’ve noticed that before in other molded products. Is it for air release during the making process, if so then why don’t they fill it afterwards?

[@AlphaProto]

I think the holes on the tail are where they put the wire into it.

[@willisjackson7029]

The holes are there to release air when articulating the piece so it can achieve maximum range of motion. Yes there is a wire inside but it doesn’t get put in though the holes.

[@gemininosaga]

Was waiting for this since the community post.

[@0newingedcrow]

I remember the protection racket episode where Elisa was undercover. After Broadway offers Goliath a jalapeno pepper, the episode ends with the sun rising as Keith David yells "JALEPENIA!" And from that day forward they used that word in place of expletives. Stone gargoyles would be great figures. Imagine being able to pose them as stone statues in any way you want! Hopefully they'll include some comedy headsculpts too. Like the face Lexington made after Brooklyn told him the motorcycle blew up!

[@Ghoulstille]

So they chose the "I've been denied everything! Even my REVENGE!" wings.

[@colt4573]

I always really liked Hudson personally. But I love them all.

[@lowell3270]

I love Goliath also, however I’m very interested in how they’ll do Lexington. He’ll be the one that’ll tell where NECA is headed with the line. I’m super excited to see how they handle MacBeth and Xanatos figures more than anything.

[@specialk3357]

For as much as I love Gargoyles, I’m out of real estate to be having those gigantic wings on my shelf. I’m just taking the gamble on a future rerelease w/the wings in or whatever they figure out. Great figure and great review Anthony.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

they announced the cape wings for Goliath coming with Bronx. No word on the folded wings though.

[@luish8056]

I could never pick between Brooklyn and Goliath as to which I liked more. Great figure!

[@TheMattTrakker]

Goliath was always my favorite, then Bronx. I love doggo gargoyle.

[@cabso]

This is probably the Best Gargoyles figure I have seen!!!

[@dustinbergeron7384]

They announced that Bronx is coming recently and he will come with the folded cape like version of goliath's wings

[@MrOrcshaman]

I love the figure. Just got it today and setting him up. Couple of the issues I had with it were, due to how top heavy his wings make him, he does struggle to stand up in certain positions. His is also very wide due to he wings, which don't get me wrong, I'm glad they were accurate, just saying you need the space to display him. I love the additions of his book and jalapeno pepper, two things in the series with him both being a book worm, and his first experience with the jalapeno. Very dexterous, can give him several positions (but again your need the space due to the wings). The one issue I have with it due to how his hair lays on his back and then positions of his wings, it makes turning his head more difficult. Overall this is a great, great detail, him being more ripped looking then in the cartoon make sense since in the comics they often made him more ripped then Disney would allow him to look in the animation. Overall it's a great model, really nostalgic, 8.5/10

[@itsdantaylor]

Neca just announced a Bronx figure, the Gargoyle Dog character, apparently it will also come with alternate wings for goliath where he folds the wings over himself like a cap (like in the show)

[@thomasrondon9286]

Agreed! But I had to have Goliath when I saw him. He's my favorite, Demons was second, David Yanatos was third, n Coldstone came in fourth. I didn't hate anyone but those are my top four. I'm disappointed with the wings as they feel brittle n one of the round edges that hold the left wings peg broke but it's fixable. I think Bronx, who would be my fifth favorite, is going to come with crapped wings for Goliath. He should have came with them. I can't wait for the others to come out.

[@SheydokGear]

11:10 "re-issue with wings closed up", well, you called it.

[@ImCptnAwesome]

Goliath is my favorite gargoyle. Bronx is good too, and the others. This figure looks good, but the face looks too sunken in, and he could be a little bulkier. I would like the face more stoic and less angry, too. It is cool that they include an angry head with the white eyes.

[@thetitus7691]

You called it. New pair of wings coming with Bronx

[@cretinouscretin9677]

NECA just revealed that Bronx is going to come with a closed wing/cape for Goliath.

[@DesignIncase]

Which I can get behind. If you are Gargoyal fan, who wouldn't least want Bronx?

[@FireBomberBassist]

They just announced the cloak wings are coming with Bronx. 😮 Bronx is a must and so those wings will make this figure a 11/10 for me.

[@mgtowbrony5387]

Great review. Definitely going to pick him up.

[@RgxSuperSonic]

This is an awesome looking Goliath! I really like the more realistic approach with the details. I'm not the biggest Gargoyles fan and I don't remember too much of the cartoon....It's been a long time, but this is a pretty badass figure!

[@FireBomberBassist]

He flew off the shelf here. Got mine then went back the next day, they were all gone. Lol Man I agree, I love this thing. 9/10 from me too. If they give him the cloak style wings somehow its be an 11/10.

[@KJCollections]

What store was it at?

[@FireBomberBassist]

@@KJCollections target

[@usuck1883]

Not the biggest Gargoyles fan, but this Goliath figure looks like it’s ready to kick ass and take names. And, for the price, I dig it! 😎👍

[@zoomflight3115]

That mod at 14:00 made a HUGE difference

[@FriedSpicyChicken26]

Is this a heavy figure and what flight stand did you use at the end? Great review by the way!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's only moderately heavy. Storm Collectibles fight stand.

[@titanguy7316]

If I had the space for this figure, I'd pick him up. Looks awesome overall. The realistic style surprised me, but I love that 2nd head sculpt.

[@girthking6429]

My favorite gargoyle was always Hudson loved his design his character and his voice actor but gargoyles had amazing voice acting in general

[@daviid_ee]

I liked the Gargoyles as a kid, but I wouldn't say I feel particularly attached to this franchise. That said, I do like this design and I was impressed when I saw it at target.

[@peterlightning9235]

That's freaking cool. That show was pretty cool.

[@drexsonaljames8345]

This is a dope action figure...had to get one myself

[@tomsklanka9436]

Goliath is One of my favorite Figures I own, I also ordered the American Werewolf in London figures, they look great excited to get them,! I Hope they release the rest of the Predator figures soon too!! I think Goliath and Kessler wolf might be figures of the year!

[@DXFrost]

It's been a hot minute since I've seen the show but I believe Brooklyn was the red one? He was always my favorite

[@dtejada1988]

Zup Anthony, yes those t-shirts are awesome, after watching you talking about it I’ve purchased several, they fit 👍🏼

[@swordkingjedimaster003]

I bought mines at books a millions & I put it together & put it on my window blinds for display

[@luke_figuremeout1484]

Always glad to see you like a figure. If you recommend it, I know it’s gonna be a great buy. I know people give you shit for nitpicking, but I respect that you’re a perfectionist and come at it with that in mind. Looking forward to when you make your own line. Can’t wait.

[@g1rldraco7]

Yeah the main bad guys are the pack, I hope NECA makes them I love the robot thats part of the pack Coyote. NECAQ just announced Bronx and he comes with Goliath's folded wings. Very nice review you did here :)

[@zoomflight3115]

10/10 if it had foldable wings. These are gonna take up a ton of space on a shelf with those wings

[@bruisedhelmet8819]

Brooklyn is my favorite, hope they release him.

[@BigSed55]

He needs a gargoyle chest, not a human chest! Hello. Your all over it mate, some easy fixes tho. Wish u could compare your custom.

[@basicfacekick]

Maybe they'll go the accessory set route like they're doing more of lately and we can get different wings there.

[@basicfacekick]

Apparently 30 minutes ago they announced Bronx with the cloak wings for Goliath, hah!

[@Clarkalot]

As a kid I liked Brooklyn and Lexington's designs the most. But as I've gotten older I really like Hudson and Goliath's look. Bronx was always awesome.

[@ConekillerConfuzor]

I found your chanel because of your custom Gargoyle figures. Full circle! Also NECA just announced Bronx will come with Caped wings for Goliath.

[@UNITEDJACKSONSFANS]

Think they’ve done a fantastic job on Goliath, am excited for the rest of the clan. I’m curious how Lexington is gonna be considering his wings are different.

[@Justincredibletoys]

Don’t ask me how I remember this but the Pepper was when Alicia let him eat a jalapeño pepper for the first time lol

[@NecoLumi]

Random aside, you are looking super fit lately, buddy

[@fortressmattimus3984]

It might be a lame answer, but Bronx was always my favorite as a kid. I'd have to go back and rewatch it to come up with a proper response. Also, am I the only one who looks at the head sculpt and sees Dr. Brown?

[@johnhillenbrand5128]

Hey anthony, new to the channel. Youre reviews are awesome. I hope they release all of them including the gargoyles that were "killed off" in the 2 hr pilot. I even hope they do the castle display on top of Xanatos' skyscraper. NECA will definitely score big with this line. AND...i do hope they have some kind of accessory set for folded wings and caped wings.

[@oztaxguy3567]

You called it. There is a new release with the wings draped as a cape.

[@bee-beargaming]

Goliath was always my favorite since he's the main character.

[@Thekiwikollector]

Hudson is my man !

[@hannahsaphire7643]

You make those shirts look so good

[@jacobscopperfield7660]

It might not be cartoon accurate but this is a great looking figure. If they come out with a Goliath with his wings closed Ima get him

[@TenScaryMonkeys]

This is interesting… Picked this guy up a couple days ago, and I think NECA may have adjusted the neck on later production runs based on your feedback. Popped the head off to do the plastic shaving, and it’s already done, right out of the box. They must have altered the tooling of the mold slightly to permit the additional head tilt.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Interesting indeed

[@DIA333333]

Just found the figure on walmart and purchased. very good quality, though I accidently pulled the hair off trying to change the head. Will need to glue it back on

[@mrfrank-pz7uc]

Goliath Is One of the best action figures done by Neca ever !

Great figure but man how cool would it be to get some neca Street Shark figures and Biker Mice from Mars. 🤯 that would be mind blowing. Just throughing it out there Neca! 😉

[@leonx3882]

Goliath is literally Peter Steele and i will never unsee it 😁

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I like the action figure but I can't agree with your evaluation, in my opinion the articulation is limited. As usual with Neca's action figures the look is great (other then that gap on the torso) but the articulation is limited, be it because of the engineering or QC issues. This figure doesn't seem to have QC issues in the articulation but in my opinion it isn't that well engineered, Neca could have done better. The head can't look up and for a flying character the range in the head going up is very important. I know the hair design doesn't help but they could have figured a way to articulate either the neck or the hair so the head could look up enabling the figure to achieve an horizontal flying pose. The shoulders are very limited, they should be able to rotate more freely, to open to the sides at least 90º and a butterfly joint could have been added (I love what those can do pose wise and I'm always whiling to sacrifice the sculpt for that). The legs are limited both forward and back and side to side and they could use double jointed knees too, the feet seem very well articulated though. The wings could have 5 points of articulation divided by 2 on the "shoulder", 1 on the "elbow" and 2 on the "hand". On the "shoulder" the wings should be able to rotate up, down and flap, on the "elbow" they need to rotate up and down and on the "hand" again up, down and flap. That would give the collectors the much needed ability to better control the space occupied by the wings. Don't get me wrong I'm buying the figure all the same and I like it but I think it could've been better. Thanks for the review Anthony.

[@Kaijugamerreviw922]

I have Goliath and I pre-order Thailog but men I need Neca to reveal Demona Realese date, Bronx and Goliath friends

The pepper befuddles me. i haven't watched Gargoyles since it aired. Now i'm going to start watching it again to find out what it means. 😆

My favorite gargoyle was the dog, I think he was named Bronx

[@fabiorodrigues890]

I have mine for more than 20 years and the wings are more advanced than these ones, they can fold =P. I love this new figure to, look very well done and love the shading paint.
