Marvel Legends Best Build-a-Figures of ALL TIME

[@ragehd1595]

What job did you have before this because even on your first video everything from the editing to the script and thumbnail were top notch

[@Nerdzoic]

Thanks man. Ironically all jobs had nothing to do with video, all various management/leadership development positions. But it taught me attention to detail

[@cardsfanboy]

I do have to say I have one major disagreement... Sugar man might be great, but Sauron is absolutely a much better figure..... heck I think Wendigo is better.... and that is ignoring figures like Annihilus., Arnim Zola, or Mojo... not even sure how Blob or Sugar man made this list to be honest.

[@williegray1995]

I know its not in person but if you look for a Glen Webb (rip) video he had several apocalypse bafs he had a black version.

[@brianpetrucelli7584]

1. The Sentinel only took six figures to build as Mystique and Omega Red came with the same lower torso piece. 2. Fin Fang Foom took eight figure to make, not nine

[@furiousd36]

I like the Kingpin BAF but I feel it’s a little devalued now that they came out with the retro Kingpin figure.

[@Nerdzoic]

I like him too, but there is something about the jacket I don’t love

[@asgads]

Venompool is still the best designed one, he looks incredible. In terms of FOMO Galactus is my pick

[@theramblinmahoney2316]

I’m gonna say cause no one else is willing to... I love the way Matt moves his mouth when he talks.

[@Nerdzoic]

Thanks? Lol

[@jamesmcclaren9759]

Someone had to say it and now I’m feeling smug for some reason?

[@kevrulz06]

A local toy shop in my town that specializes in getting retro figures and buying people's old toys has that M.O.D.O.K. figure and the owner displays him with his left hand picking his nose! Yep, you can do that with that figure. Just like I made my Thrasher Suit Batman (from Court of Owls) throw up a double bird. Hey man, articulated fingers. How does that get past everyone the figure has to pass through to make it to production without at least someone raising their hand and saying, "Won't kids make this figure give the middle finger?".

[@SatchelSwede]

[@CasterGarcia]

Toybiz did the best,however the present day baf have the knockout power of 3d printing that makes them looking so good they look like they just jumped out of the tv,,,,,but toybiz is what im overly impressed with,the colors on the sentinel and galactis,and finffangfoom and many others take the 🍰 4the win

[@Nerdzoic]

Not a Marvel Legend though :)

[@moonuni]

I like sasquach.

[@x_enomotofigs]

Hasbro has done a great job, and they are continually improving. But, since Bafs are really impressive by their size, I’ll say the highest points are still from toybiz.

[@Nerdzoic]

Good call!

[@edwardstewart6372]

Hasbro now a days have the better looking Build-A-Figures but unlike Toybiz they lack Giant sized Build-A-Figures so, it's about time that Marvel Legends go back to making giant sized Build-A-Figures from 12-15 inches.

[@suhtangwong]

My opinion: Hasbro: better proportions, more up to date articulation. Toybiz: bigger BAF, more articulations, way better paint jobs and shading. Idk if it's just me, but I really liked the hasbro onslaught, I think it's underrated but he's on top for most people's hated baf list, not sure why, proportions perfect, detailing and sculpt. Just lack of paint work.

[@Nerdzoic]

I think he looks pretty cool

[@thetexanboy80]

I think it's because he was released as Red Onslaught, a character from an event that was almost unanimously hated, and didn't have a normal Onslaught head until it was included with Kitty Pryde a year later.

[@Justlink200]

If this wasn’t only Marvel Legends from ToyBiz I would of went with Pitt. Still to this day my favorite BAF ever.

[@StigmaNYC]

What about Pitt?

[@taxevasion7151]

And toy biz onslaught

[@sondosoft4603]

Technically Not Marvel Legends.

[@Wooshey_Wooj]

Ahhh grosss!!!! I just got the deluxe Modok. I’m sorry but age did not go well with that BAF. But I understand, ToyBiz.

[@yellows_u.h.p8521]

Arcticulation wise i think hasbro did better better but siZe definitely toy biz so I say it 50 50 it just depends on your own preference

[@Nerdzoic]

Hate to say it but the size is important

[@sondosoft4603]

Size is extremely important. If it’s not significantly bigger than a normal figure then why am I paying so much extra and working so much harder to get it? And given Hasbro’s 30 dollar deluxe line, the BAF exists purely for monetary reasons at this point. Toybiz did it as a way of producing figures that would have never been released in a normal format.

[@GothamKnight-hsw4vx526430]

Personally I love the 2013 Hasbro Iron Monger Build-A-Figure! Think he's underrated. Sure he's not very articulated and a bit on the short side, but he has a special place in my heart.

[@Nerdzoic]

Just the character makes me like that BAF

[@lrf233]

Toybiz mopped the floor with Hasbro in the BAF category. I used to have all of them up till 2019 before selling them all.

[@yoitsvic1126]

I’d have to say Toybiz made better BAF’s because they were bigger and had better paint jobs in general and to my knowledge, they never rereleased any BAF’s as solo figs or in 2packs like Hasbro does(Hulkbuster, Juggernaut and Civil War Giant-Man, just to name a few).

[@Nerdzoic]

The re-releasing drives me NUTS. Please I expect BIG BAFs

[@SlasherIncorporated]

As someone who doesn't collect entire waves since I'm not interested in the comic book figures, I LOVE the fact that Hasbro sometimes re-releases BAFs as already-completed solo figures, or part of a pack. It's pretty annoying when you only collect the movie and video game figures, and the BAF is an MCU or game character, but the wave has comic book figures mixed into it. I'm not buying those just to get the BAF pieces. So I support the re-releasing. It benefits me and other similar Marvel Legends collectors.

[@yoitsvic1126]

SlasherIncorporated fair point, my dude

[@isaiahpetersen4853]

SlasherIncorporated i mostly agree only i like the comic book figures more

[@SlasherIncorporated]

PNVGingy Yeah, that’s cool. I think I avoid the comic book figures because I hate the look of them. That’s not a fault of the figures themselves or of Hasbro, obviously. I just don’t like the comic book designs that they’re based on. I prefer the movies’ and video games’ more realistic and modern designs. Just a matter of taste, I guess.

[@sashisilverraj8411]

Awesome list but Pitt should be up there somewhere. And also it doesn't take the amount of figures you've mentioned to build most them as Toybiz had many variants with extra BAF parts. Like the Sentinel can be built with only 6 figures when it came with 9 figures including variants.

[@Nerdzoic]

Thanks for letting me know, others said the same thing but I could have sworn there were that many parts. This makes much more sense

Pitt isn’t marvel

I think toybiz made better looking bafs hasbro made better size bafs they both had some draw backs like face sculps body proportions didnt like the finger articulation by toybiz although toybiz look better they were a bit on the short small side hasbro made a nice size figure but lost it on the paint and sculpts...

[@gerrysabron]

these are such feel good videos, lol!..got all in retail except Fin Fang, which needed 8 undesirable figures (to say the least) to complete..I don't think the Haslab would compare. The Toybiz Sentinel, awesome as it was, was a free Baf from $8 figures then, the Haslab, is $375.

[@anonymousraw766]

But you never included the Hasbro Apocalypse Build A Figure which is better then the Toybiz one

[@nkrugjohn]

I can't believe that you think that Toy Biz apocalypses with it's skinny chicken legs is better than the Hasbro one!

[@kakalis2323]

Galactus. They need to rerelease/redo all the old big bois so I can get the ones I missed. Definitely not paying $200 for em 🤣

[@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker]

This is a good list, although I'm surprised Venom didn't make it on here. Maybe it's because it wasn't actually Eddie Brock. lol I'm so glad they released the Brock version as it's own figure.

toybiz has the disadvantage of being 20 years younger ... that's why toybiz wins by a lot

Easily Toybiz wins. BAFs have to be either tall and/or beefy!

[@clintmesle7613]

I'm surprised Wendigo didn't make the list. I have to go with Hasbro but that Toy Biz Galactus is pretty dang awesome!

[@davetempify]

Collecting the 3.75" scale guys, my number #1 - and it's not even close - is Fin Fang Foom (he looks awesome holding the smaller figures in his hands), and #2 would be Modok (he's a tiny bit big, but still works). The Sentinel and Galactus are lower down for me since both of those figures came out as even larger versions (with awesome sounds) in the 3.75" scale.

[@Nerdzoic]

Good choices!

[@raymondz7152]

Hasbro for the win

[@nostalgiccollectorbandido6802]

Hasbro is Ok I guess ..BUT as far as Build A figures goes ,TOY BIZ all the way simply cuz of the Sheer size ,of their bafs Articulation, and the awesome paint Detail...14inch BAF??Thats Amazing They don’t make em like this No more...ToyBiz all the way Rip 🪦

[@JapiCustoms]

ToyBiz = The Best BAFs

[@sondosoft4603]

I have a love/hate relationship with BAFs. They are very exciting. But ultimately they are just pure greed and marketing. I don’t think it was in the Toybiz days but now it definitely is. Given Hasbro now doing $30 deluxe figures and $40 dollar “Rider” figures. There’s no reason they couldn’t simply release the figures solo. Collectors would easily pay 30-50 or even more depending on the size. Very few Hasbro BAFs have justified the BAF name.

[@Nerdzoic]

I agree but the BAF is a great way to help get more free obscure characters to move in stores

Nice! Yeah I love those guys.

[@ragehd1595]

I'm guessing you've seen the toys that made us great show

[@mk-1991]

Let’s be frank here, Toybiz wins it hands down. They had the better size, sculpting, paint work and more bang for your buck. Hasbro is just lacklustre, Fin Fang Foom was one of the earlier BAF Hasbro made that was inspired by Toybiz days, they got lazy afterwards

[@Nerdzoic]

For a long time I thought foom was a Toybiz

[@mk-1991]

Nerdzoic Glad I corrected! Annihilus, Fin Fang Foom, were the earlier series inspired by Toybiz. We hardly get those huge BAF these days

[@Wooshey_Wooj]

BLASPHEMY! I don’t agree on the size. Only, because It depends. That’s what it all comes down to. For example the one that you hate the most is fat Thor. I for one, love it. But to each their own. The new Cap wave. Looks amazing. Still building the wings even though it could be a deluxe figure. I do understand what you mean by the figure size though. My favorite BAFs that I own are huge. Venompool & Joe-Fix-It.

[@RichardBoutot]

The Toy Biz Galactus sucks. He looks anorexic. He lloks like he is wearing lipstick, and the Marvel Universe Galactus SMOKES that thing.

[@darrisreid502]

Currently working Sugarman after I finishing that BAF and a few pick other pick ups I plan to try to get the blob. For the line overall I prefer Hasbro. The though BAFs I would say toybiz but the thing is I feel Hasbro could do it, make giant BAFs again Fing Fang Foom proves it. I just hope when they said the are working on the tallest BAF ever I am hoping it is not that teased stiltman.

[@Nerdzoic]

Stiltman would be sick

[@andrewmaclellan608]

Toybiz BAFs are far more impressive on the shelf. Okoye and Demogoblin are cool, but any given Toybiz BAF is so much more of an eyecatch. I also think the Marvel Universe 19" tall Galactus from 2010/11 is leagues better than the old 2005 BAF.

[@elrayoxephier1393]

This is kind of a loaded contest. because if you dig hard and deep enough you'll learn that in bits and pieces the information is out there. When ToyBiz was going out of business they became Marvel entertainment. and then when that didnt work out and they were hemorrhaging money, Hasbro made their move and acquired the license. they also acquired the model in the program of what toy Biz had been doing for Marvel Legend. So essentially what you have today is ToyBiz Marvel Legends 2.0. without Toybiz having pioneering what thay did, we wouldn't have the great things we're getting from Hasbro. not to mention we still have some of the original members of toy Biz working behind the scenes to help Hasbro make the best of this line. Both are great and have good things to be happy about. but yeah, it can still be fun to knock around what is better. but for me, my love and greatfullness with this line started in 1988 with ToyBiz selling Bat-Man movie figures in the Warner Brothers catalog. Thay did a few DC figures. And by 1990 thay started makeing Marvel figures. Hasbro had a dark beginning with Marvel Legends as they were trying to flip things back into order and square away the bankruptcy . Hasbro used existing figure molds of the time to build up the Financial backing for the Department. Meanwhile they went back to the drawing board to re-envision what the Marvel Legends franchise would be like. They found a good formula, and still tweek it here and there as new ideas and technology come about. now today we have a new and diffrent kind of Marvel Legends. i Love them both, and all the wonderful people young, and old who collect them with me all around the world. Yes, it is bitter sweet. But it is still an amazing ride. Wow what a ride. 👍

[@Imagine_TV]

Honestly I don't understand why anyone hasn't rioted about how Hasbro has really gone down on their figures. Every one of their figures look like cartoons. Toybiz had made spectacular figures. Especially Spiderman. Spiderman used to have fabricated textures and ultra articulation. Not to mention the lack of toe and figure joints. At first Hasbro was giving it it's all going after toybiz but not anymore. Hasbro does have some nice figures but they recycle everything.

[@SonofLynn06]

Toy biz for sure.

[@cardsfanboy]

Overall, it's tough, if we are judging simply based upon the quality of the build a figures, then Toybiz wins easily... but if we are include the ability to get the build a figure, either as originally presented or in a secondary wave, then Hasbro has to be the king... Toybiz never cared about re-usability of a build a figure... so you got great one off figures, but they had no intention of re-using the molds for people who missed out... Hasbro on the other hand has considered that as a selling point and it's help them create a build a figure, which in turn allowed them to create third tier and fourth tier characters that are required for the build a figure, while knowing that they will re-use the mold for a second or third selling of the figure... But Hasbro is never going to produce a Galactus, Sentinel, Apocalypse or Fin Fang Foom type of build a figure... heck Sugarman was a weird choice to be honest.... There is nothing that they can re-use, so ultimately if they want to re-use the mold, it's going to be in about 2 years a store exclusive (although from what I've seen of Hasbro.... it's going to end up being part of a two pack... as long as they think there is interest there)

[@HomestarRunner20X6]

Too much Toybiz on this list. I'm pretty much a day one collector, but unlike most people I believe that size doesn't make quality. The cost of plastic has gone way up in the last 16 years. The days of 10 inch BAFs are gone. Let it go. Hasbro released a ton of sick BAFs that never get any recognition because so many people are stuck in the past.

[@raimiallpowerful2020]

@@Nerdzoic ye. It's too sad some are like that. I mean why would a big bulky character do spider-man poses. I prefer athstetic over articulation but I do love articulation. If u have an ugly figure with the greatest articulation ever it can't look good. But statues look great on display
