ShartimusPrime's Worst 10 Action Figures of 2016

[@potbelliesornaments7253]

Shartimus, The captain America costume is not just merely based on concept art, it is based on the costume that he wore on a short, yet solid mini-series called secret wars. Worth a read.

[@jackedfilms]

Secret War. No S at the end.

[@ShartimusPrime]

potbellies ornaments I have those Secret War issues. I thought it was a different suit.

[@fartsnstuf]

not to mention: hating a figure for just the attire based on a concept art isn't a good reason, specially after Phoenix, it made sense for Sandman cause that color scheme looked like dirt, but that wasn't the main reason he sucked

[@sonicecho5235]

Couldn't disagree more about the Captain America segment. I LOVE seeing things like that, for example the Ralph McQuarrie Star Wars figures. This was an awesome looking version of Cap and he looks great next to other characters.

[@mr.x6313]

#6 is SO subjective it's painful. Cap HAS worn that costume in the comics before, and just because it's an alt costume does NOT make it a bad figure.

[@rammuansicstin5086]

Patrick Trujillo right, right?

[@jackrackham2763]

Patrick Trujillo you have to understand though it is a review so its supposed to be subjective. Its his opinion and while you like the figure, he didn't. For example he just did a preview of the new Hot Toys Vol 2 Star-Lord and he actually mentioned that he wasn't too thrilled with how it looks. However I think it looks amazing. Reviews are always subjective because they are the reviewer's opinion.

[@jorgerusso1630]

Secret War Cap is NOT concept art. It was featured momentarily in the title Secret War (2004)....it is still not a noteworthy costume and was only briefly seen in flash back sequences where Cap was a part of a group of heroes gathered by Nick Fury to Infiltrate Latveria within the comics 5 issue run.

SDCC Sandman should have been #1, what the hell was HasBlow thinking, wish someone would call them out on they're total failure with that one

[@ShartimusPrime]

LightHawkAlchemist I would have been happier with a Dark Ms. Marvel and it would have been a cheaper repaint.

[@LightHawkAlchemist]

I would be totally stoked to have been able to finish off the Dark Avengers line up

[@SymbiSpidey]

It's pretty silly that Hasbro gave regular arms to the sandy version of Sandman and NOT the regular version. Like how does that even make any sense?

[@LightHawkAlchemist]

Someone at Hasbro was "how do we piss off the collectors" and got that idea

[@zacmariozeroreturns]

They didn't even try to make it unique by, say, using sandpaper or something like that on the mold to give it a sand-like bumpy texture. They just slapped on brown and tan paint and called it a day.

[@gingergreek]

I'm taking you didn't buy any more DC Multiverse figs because those were the worst figures of the year.

[@gingergreek]

HAHAHA Dude the price of them too. in the UK they cost £25...£25!!!!!!!!!!!! ($31) It's bad enough Marvel Legends cost that much but at least they look decent. The Multiverse figs are sickeningly bad

[@KetchupBlogs]

I was done with the Multiverse figures after I saw them on the shelves for the first time. They just look horrible in box.. I can't imagine in hand...

[@leepicciotto]

gingergreek the upcoming king shark and gcpd waves are actually sick, but damn everything they've released aside from tdkr superman and maybe one or 2 others are complete trash.

[@gingergreek]

leepicciotto Do u have a link with pics for those upcoming waves please?

[@YourUncleBenis]

I usually don't take joy in a line being terrible(it's like movies. Who wants a terrible one?), but since the 6 inch Multiverse line killed off a 3 3/4 inch line filled with untapped potential, I'm kinda happy that the current line is so looked down upon.

[@BennyAllen-lw4nu]

im back here in 2024 just rolling at shart tweaking over the cap fig😹😹😹😹

[@MrMaximumAustin]

The Sandman figure featured here could be used as a sort of accessory for a "Spidey-Sandman" fight. Recently, Sandman is shown to create copies of himself, so maybe you have Flint Marko stage a Sub-Zero-style fakeout on Web-Head. Just a thought.

[@GuyWebz]

Some ideas I have for figures that HasBlow could've made instead of concept art Secret Wars Cap: -The current Captain America costume -Civil War Vision -Golden Age Captain America -First Appearance Cap

I took that Sandman figure and spray painted the whole thing with that textured sand paint, that they sell at hardware stores (for doing sandstone effects on pottery and other household crafts projects.) It looks pretty cool now.

[@grm_variety_hour]

Why dont you do more worst lists?

[@BATBOMB82]

As an artist, I actually think they should do MORE concept art figures. It's absolutely one of the most unique Cap figures we've gotten. If they made for ML's like that, I'd actually buy more.

[@ArtKing3000]

For the Animal figure's drum set, can't you glue the pices to a base so the won't fall over?

[@tombowling2805]

Damn! I feel bad, like an action figure philistine or something. I actually like concept art Cap, and I really like desert storm Sandman. Please, do not chastise me too vehemently for my indiscretions! On another note, I just want to say that my son and I truly appreciate all the hard work you put into your reviews, Russ. I know that it can wear on you sometimes but the incredible amount of effort you put into these things really shows. Your reviews are definitely the best of the best. The only other reviewer that I watch regularly is Tweenee, and that's because she's got a pair of killer legs. If they gave out oscars for action figure reviews, you surely deserve one. Thank you for pouring your heart and soul into this stuff. It's not taken lightly.

Ya'll really be complaining over a TOY REVIEW. i know he may have talked "bad'' about #6, but in the end, its still just a toy/action figure. No hate to Shartimus or any of you viewers , just saying that you viewers are mad over something he probably didn't even know about. (Not knowing that he did wear that suit in secret wars and that its not just concept art.) It was a MISTAKE. So please, calm down.

[@HerculeanHero]

Flash's Power is mostly Superspeed.Thats why Flash figure is normally used for a Running pose.

[@jice201]

I understand why cap was on there, from what he said but I personally love that look. Sandman I like too I think if I get the BAF sandman u can put the 2 together and make it look like he is faded to sand form, u can get creative if u have both figs.

[@MALDINGAS]

Figma Hulk does that as an engeneering feature, the logic behind it is the same behind the revoltech joint, it's better for it to come apart, than for it to break, I honestly prefer this than getting a figure that breaks do to stiff joints, or it's weight.

[@hang10wannabe]

These figures aren't that great, but I'm ok with the Captain America figure because he's the only Captain in my collection.

[@timt6819]

Yo shartimus great vid man. You should Try and get a loosecollector piece they are AMAZING (if you don't know what that is, Loosecollector take requests for any figure you want to see and make them with INSANE detail).

In the case of Figma Hulk, you could use floor polish to tighten those pegs to help them stay on better.

I've got that Phoenix and had the same complaints. But then I got the Dark Phoenix/Cyclops two-pack and put one of the extra heads on the Phoenix figure. It made it so much better. I actually don't mind displaying her now.
