Marvel Legends X-Men Retro Wave Spiral Phoenix Wolverine Longshot Avalanche Multiple Man Review

Big Thanks to Big Bang Comics! stores.comichub.com/big_bang_...
Another Hasbro Marvel Legends X-Men wave? Yes please! Let's take a look at Logan in his training duds, Avalanche to add to the Brotherhood of Mutants, another Longshot with some teaks, another Jamie Madrox to add to....all the Multiple Mans we need, Jean Grey as Dark Phoenix, and then the star of the wave (at least to me)...Spiral to help out Mojo.

If they can make Spiral like this, then they should easily be able to make a proper 6 armed Spider-man.

[@TheFwoosh]

They could probably do waaaaay better now than they could then but Spiral also has the luxury of hair and even those shoulder pads covering up all the weird parts caused by shoving six shoulders into one torso.

[@somarriba333]

@@TheFwoosh That Spider-Man had no abs crunch or waist swivel and no details. Could use an update.

I myself collect so much but hasbro...no way... i got only 8 figures of them(300+figures) but damn i only see shite in them and i myself ask me why....they are terrible in every regards Collecting action-figures...so why people so addicted to them...because i can tell you one after another figure that bettèr than any marvel-legends figure ever...so i don't get this...are the maturity of collectors stupid? Damn almost 30dollars for a pile of crap...so please why is everyone after this shite figures?

My favorite thing about Avalanche in modern comics is him telling people his name is Rictor when things mess up.

[@chihuarat]

I hope we get a modern Rictor and Shatterstar soon! Rictor, Quake, and Avalanche in the same room would be scary though

[@unclecreed2986]

[@kelvinmartinez4770]

@@chihuarat i want the second version of X-force for Shatterstar. I believe it was designed by Capullo and Nizieza when they took over from Liefeld

[@azozazoz9196]

That editing skills on the Multiple Man when you dropped him is very creative, good stuff!

[@foldabotZ]

The split-second it happened, I thought there were actually multiple... Multiple Man figures piled on top of each other. I had to re-watch that section a few times to see it. I guess he combined multiple shots together, like how they do in movies where one actor is portraying multiple characters in one scene.

[@brainlock72]

Definite wtF?! moment! 😂

[@yaboysgottoys5156]

I'm pulling away from Legends more and more these days but this wave is a big HIT imo. All the characters are welcome and wanted in the collection and will easily resale if you're not interested but pickup the wave as a whole. What's an even BIGGER hit though: your skills with your editing software! You got me Vince McMahon'ing at your special effects smoothly added into the video - most impressive! Your NY resolution of getting better with the editing is definitely paying dividends!

[@TheFwoosh]

I appreciate that! I dove head first into tutorials over the holidays and was afraid I'd go overboard with all the ideas, tried to keep them as itty bitty snippets for each.

[@esporev]

Yah I noticed all the cool effects! Good job Fwoosh! Thanks

[@jeremysmith4620]

A man with a mullet like that doesn't have to look behind him, he only sees what's ahead of him while explosions go off behind him blowing his golden locks with the high pressure shock front. Avalanche reapplies his lipstick and blows Longshot a kiss.

[@jeremybraden6096]

I like some of the new edits thrown in like the missing team member and even the multiple man multiplying. Nice touches. As long as it isn't a nightmare for you, I'm all in!

[@AlphaProto]

That new Spiral is going into my X-Men Children of the Atom display.

[@ruthiekest3218]

Yeah for sure

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I see you're having fun with the editing! Loved all the little bits you did, but dammit that Madrox bit scared me!

[@brianng8350]

Like that you are including MSRP. Appreciate the video/ comics effects. For Dark Phoenix, the new one is nice, but the old one feels more special. We need a slimmer Cyclops; he is too muscular for John Byrne era X-Men. Spiral is definitely a winner as a figure - so different and all the weapons!😊

[@TheFwoosh]

Totally agree about that version of Cyclops. And make him a bit taller!

[@JordanToa_YT]

Let’s Go! First Fwoosh Review of 2023! ☺️ Love the new Spiral figure. I need to get one myself, and I hope they make an X Force version, or Black and White costume for her.

[@TheFwoosh]

It's crazy, right?

Big Bang Comics are amazing! I'm a bit away from Dublin but they always are great at delivering in 3 days or so. What a surprise hearing you shout them out, but they honestly do deserve it, never a single problem with them in 2 years of collecting.

The eyes for Longshot on the deluxe version are way more pretty boy than the retail version. Also, now I'm hyped for spiral.

[@boclarke6853]

They need to revisit that godawful doppelganger spidey from a few years ago after seeing how nice they made Spiral

[@stevewegling8070]

Robo, a full wave review that went super quick. Mad credit to you for editing and fun. All your observations were dead on and your comparisons were appreciated. Spiral was always a favorite character visually and her jilted lover (deadly intentions) made her interesting. I hope to find her in-store, maybe order her. The retail mojo I have so some of this wave has real appeal. I have the old Toybiz Phoenix maybe an update is warranted 😌. A solid wave. A memorable review 👍✌️

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

Glad to see you got this wave! I've seen most of these here in the UK for about a month, shocked the heck out of me when I saw them. For me I think I'm skipping it, I'm happy with the X-Men team roster I currently have and I try to be one and done with characters in this line and don't go too deep into other X-related teams, so really it comes down to X-villains for me and even there I'm limited for space. I skipped Mojo because of that, so the same goes for Spiral, Multiple Man is pretty classic but also falls into that category of X-villains that aren't must haves for me, and even then I'd need multiple but again, space. Avalanche just never interested me in the comics and for me the figure doesn't do much either. I've got nothing against Dark Phoenix, I just don't feel that I need it, not to mention both her and Spiral are the only two I haven't seen in person. Still, glad you're happy with these figures!

[@chihuarat]

The colors really POP on Dark Phoenix she looks spectacular! Unfortunately I missed the pre-order. When it comes to the lips on the guys, I honestly prefer them having color. It looks way more natural than the old route of giving the male figures no lips at all. Seeing Wolverine and the blue and gold team suit packs gives me hope they’ll do a team suit collection for the New Mutants’ black and yellow costumes! Those looks to me were so iconic and I’d love an excuse for another Sunspot in my collection and a new Magik figure. I know they started on the black and yellow X costumes for the new mutants with Dani, Wolfsbane, and Karma, but I really want the classic trunks and belt looks. Great review as always Robo!

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

If you replaced Avalanche's head, at least that one could make a good Nova Corps redshirt with a little work. I will never give up on Noir Jamie Madrox! Don't try to tempt me, Hasbro! That Wolverine head may be the only reason I get that figure. Even if the hair is a bit big for some eras, it's still a great sculpt. Spiral is easily the best of the wave, and I don't even care about the Mojoworld stuff. Also super glad the hands are soft on her. But... no Flo Rida for the boots with the fur? HOW DARE YOU! She even has dancing as part of her powers! The absolute disrespect...

[@PunkRJH90]

Got half of this Wave late last year. Spiral's been my #1 want for years & she doesn't disappoint. Each one seems to have different types of gumminess, luckily mine wasn't too bad. Dark Phoenix just needed some shading on the figure, so I did that. Avalanche's head was swapped for a modified Rock Python. I did have to fix the bicep swivel, as it sheared off, this buck seems to have that problem for me. Thanks for the good work.

[@graefx]

I'm not a fan of hot claws, but gawdam with that head it makes a great astonishing Logan. I really want a happy middle grown on the claws. I prefer the back of the hand pips and claws, the between knuckle wide blades are clearly inspired from the Singer movies. If they could make a half wide with the pips so their sturdier while giving the right back of the hand look, that'd be perfect. Then give me some bare hands with pips for weapon X that'd be swell.

If you look at the Art Adams Limited Series and throughout 80s early 90s, Longshot had a yellow star. That was the dealbreaker for me getting the Mojoworld 4 pack as I preferred Mojo and Dazzler from that pack.

Longshot- you want the Nate Grey effect? That’s what you’re describing. I’d settle for regular eye coloring surrounded by the eye glow tampo. Phoenix- I’m putting the ScarJo EndGame head on her for Rachel. Jean also briefly wore this outfit, and a modified version of it (larger Phoenix, no sleeves, headband), but in this coloring, it’s definitely Rachel for me. Madrox- all I gotta say is Target BETTER get full cases of this guy! I expect to see the trenchcoat+arm swap as soon as he hits wider, to get close to the X-Factor v3 look. Logan- I’m sure he’ll sell, but I’m trying to think of similar shorter, stockier X-Men for training tog costumes. I expect I’ll be ordering multiples of the 3pks, too. Avalanche- several people have used the Cap Britain helmet head for customs of Lance. It looks better than this one. I imagine we’ll see a number of A’s drawn on his chest, too. And Destiny is LONG OVERDUE! I saw several people hoping she was packed in with the upcoming Blob. Spiral- definitely the standout, just due to engineering alone. I never opened my Rulk Spiral (or Warlock), so she can finally join my shelf with my Mojos. Now I need a Ricochet Rita! (Already using Solo Bettany as Major Domo.)
