Top 10 Figures I REGRET Not Buying!

[@barterfour]

“No such thing as a wasteful Spider-man” So true 😭😭

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Tell me about it. Now I have several spider man sections and he could have easily went into one of the other sections. We live and we learn I guess. I appreciate you commenting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. Spider-Man is one of those figures that you can never just have 1. I think he's the one character that I have the most versions of.

[@oldhorseshoe1776]

@@ClevasMultiverse It's true. You can add a whole lot of characters to that list. One can never have enough Optimus Primes, Batmans, Sesame Street, Darth Vader, Wolverine, etc.

Plus that kraven 2 pack comes with that awesome beat up "battle damaged" peter Parker head sculpt and it looks so good imo

[@ClevasMultiverse]

It does, that 2-pack is one of my biggest regrets. That head sculpt you mentioned is something that I now want and that Kraven is on of the best ones that they came out with. The retro Kraven just isn't it for me. When I saw him there was 4 available right in front of me. I put it back and I never saw them again. This one stings more than some of the other ones.

I pretty much get every toy i really want even though it might take awhile ,the toy game needs timing and patience especially if u got a toy budget . I got a master list of toy must haves and i just go down the list .After that im done with the hobby and i will just enjoy what i got .

[@ClevasMultiverse]

I think half this list is from before I started and the prices were already up. I should have still gotten them then because the prices haven't really changed much. Do you think that your list will not grow and you can stop at that point?

@@ClevasMultiverse im getting out the game bruh ,yea it will take some time but its not fun anymore ,u cant hunt anymore ,im sick of these damn preorders dropping out of nowhere early and im running out of space and its too expensive now . Im in the endgame after 30 years of the hobby its a wrap

@@ClevasMultiverse im tired of running after the next new thing its time to enjoy my collection thats what i mean we have lost sight of the reason we collect its to play with toys . I dont wanna be a playa no more 😁

[@ClevasMultiverse]

I agree with all of those points 100%. I can't lie I have slowed down so much that it feels like I'm almost there myself. All of the fun has been getting stripped away little by little too.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

lol, very well said. This shouldn't feel like a burden.

[@FandomWithReploidBill]

Dude the Danny Ketch is sooooo good. A true runner for top 10 figures of the year.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Oh the Danny Ketch is a great figure!! One of the best of 2024 and probably gonna be top 3 of the year. I couldn't put him on this list as a regret though because I already had him coming in, I just did the review today.

[@hco.brandon_lee9080]

Nice flip on the regret theme. Usually discussion is about figures that were bought. I’ve never went all in on Legends, just sticking to characters that I have attachment to. That resulted in me passing up a lot of figures. One that stands out to me, for me, is the 20th Anniversary Hulk. A comic inspired Hulk was and still is a void in my display (I have a stand in with a 2006 release I found at a thrift store). Similar to some of your experiences, I had it in hand, but couldn’t pull trigger. I think there’s been some other comic Hulks since, but that one particular had the aesthetic I was looking for. I have some holes in my Spider-Man collection, notably Kraven also. I can’t say I regret not buying him because I’ve never seen it person (any of the releases). More of my regrets would be towards some vintage toys I’ve seen here and there.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Thank you. I was thinking about 10 regrets of figures that I have, but I was thinking... if I don't like these guys then why would somebody wanna watch this. So I went the opposite route and went with characters that I still want and hoped that it resonated. I actually have that 20th anniversary hulk. That's the one that has the best comic feel to me as well and I like that he comes with the concrete piece too. For a long time I had an MCU hulk but I always knew he was just holding a spot down. Those vintage pieces are always the ones that get us in the end. No matter when we started there is always something that predates us and makes us go back.

[@tyestancil2783]

My guy, my guy, my guy how I feel your pain. I ve got several I tegret not getting, but the one that stings the most for me is WW2 Marvel Rider Captain America. Has to be the limited release I've ever seen. Sad part. I remember holding it in hand at a GameStop. Put it back because I didn't have the funds at the moment, thinking I'd pick it up later. Boy was I wrong, came back a couple days later, gone. Never saw it again, in store. My policy now is if I see it and want it. Scoop it. If your mind changes, take it back. Anyhoo great vid as always!

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Thank you! Man I missed out on that one too. Now I'm in a place where I want all of the Marvel Rider characters and he's one of the ones that got away from me. Him and Logan. I've come to find out that even if people don't like the character like that they still get those for the bikes. That fig came out a while ago when we still had a chance of walking around and finding things. In 2024 you're so right. If you see something that you want now, just grab it because 9 out of 10 it's not coming back. Least not for that price. I appreciate you commenting.

[@justjustin_collects]

Great video my man! Very cool list. I always enjoy insight on what types of figures people prefer in their collection. My Legends collection is much more influenced from all the 90’s animated series shows, and the MCU. Although I’ve recently went through purging almost everything post Endgame. My biggest Legends regret is not backing the Haslab Sentinel. Don’t know what I was thinking man 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Thank you my brotha! Yeah I'm a little more comic based and less MCU. Although I think the MCU has the best Hulkbuster and Iron Man MK 50 I believe. The Target exclusive that came with the Iron Spider. That's my favorite Iron Man figure I think. The problem with those Haslabs is that the price has us thinking twice. Also that was the first one so I don't think people really knew what to expect off of a picture.

[@leftylion816]

I concur with most of what's on your list. Most of them came out before I started collecting in 2019 and so many of them now are $$$. Im slowing down with purchases, and being more selective to curate my collection. I try not to go back and get the old stuff, because the manufacturers know the value and have gone back to make updates or reissues. Patience is key.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Yeah that was the problem with me. A lot of these figs came out before I was actively collecting. Patience is key but a lot of the times its not the same thing. So Rhino used to be on my list when he was a BAF and then they came out with the retro version. The retro held up for me and I was good with the new version. Then they came out with Hobgoblin and Lizard and I still want the original ones because the retro's look corny to me. The same thing with the retro Kraven. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't. I guess it's the luck of the draw.

[@leftylion816]

Great conversation. Don't mean to be long-winded, final thoughts: I have passed on, returned or sold off figures because of "paralysis by analysis". Questions like these run through my head with the figure in hand: 1. Why did I buy this/is it for me? 2. Did I buy this because I like it or because it's the new hot thing? 3. Does it fit my collection vision? 4. Can I get it later? Sometimes it the right call, and sometimes it's not. And when it's not, it costly.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

@@leftylion816 That's the problem right? If we get it right we're a genius but if we get it wrong we're crazy. We can never win and we have to be right all of the time or risk a big loss.

[@Marvelfan-b9e]

Majority of what you said, I agree, especially the Galactus, but I mean it was pretty expensive, but yeah, I passed on that hellfire club and the sentinel and I’m now regretting it so much and also I regret not getting that lizard or absorbing man I don’t really regret Hobog goblin because I’m fine with the retro one and also the craving I’m fine with the retro one as well understand people don’t like it, but to me it ain’t that bad

[@ClevasMultiverse]

yeah man, I wish I would have gotten those a lot sooner. The price on all of those are way more that I like.

[@bkr8932]

I feel you; that dofp sentinel and the Haslab sentinel as well as the hellfire club are on my grail list

[@ClevasMultiverse]

You and me both my brotha. Those are all severely needed. I think the Hellfire Club hurts the most because of how low it was originally. The other ones started high so it doesn't sting as bad. Knowing that I could of had that box set for 80 at one point.... that really makes me smh.

[@bkr8932]

I’m hoping some of these get included in the current rereleases; they’ve been focusing on past retail exclusives so 🤞🏾

[@K9-King]

I had my moments like that, not just with Marvel legends, some others as well. MOTU origins Scareglow, Amber collection Velociraptor, Spartan collection The Arbiter and the biggest regret was the G.I Joe classified Snake-Eyes and Timber 2 pack, if only I had considered it as soon as possible I would had gotten it, but oh well, it's not much of a big deal as it sounds in my life.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

I remember seeing that Snake eyes and Timber 2 pack for a while in my Walmart. It's funny how something can sit for a minute and then out of nowhere it just spikes up. It's not a big deal to other people but it is to us. We live and we learn right? The next time something pops up it makes us think twice so the regrets turn into lessons.

[@daniellenihan9832]

I also wish I had gotten the old hobgoblin it's a cool figure and that retro card hobgoblin was wack asf! Other then that I was a deep completionist for many years I have every figure on your list and they are awesome!!!!😬👍 My big Grail was the image comics BAF Pitt figure I bought during the pandemic as I was a huge fan of the comic growing up! Also I have a Absorbing man BAF I would be down to sell, I feel like it's a count down till the make a new one! Also love the video!!!👍😁

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Most of the figures that I missed was because it was before I started collecting or right when I started. If I would have started earlier I would have more of them I think. Coming off on that Pitt figure was a come up. I know he goes for a pretty penny and a lot of people have him on their list. The probably would make a new absorbing man but I'm scared that they are going to mess him up like they did to hobgoblin and lizard. They did get Rhino and Kingpin right so you never know. He should just be a regular release honestly, he's not oversized and he only has the one accessory. IDK if extra arms are accessories like that. If anything they can just make him a lil but more like Superior Spider Man.

[@Woody_222]

That’s a pretty awesome list of figures, bro !!! Marvel is like my 4th line I collect so I don’t know about all them figures but I do regret not owning that Galactus as well , bro I’m sure anybody who doesn’t own that … regrets not backing that if they’re a marvel fan . I would also add the Haslab sentinel to this list . ✌🏽out

[@ClevasMultiverse]

I wanted to add the Sentinel too but I didn't wanna put 2 Haslabs in the same list. Mannn I feel the same way about them G.I. Joes. I know the basic guys but after that it gets blurry for me. I wanted to do Joes but I wouldn't even know who is who after a while. You deff got that line on smash. You still got me wanting that Sideous too lol.

Don't feel bad, it's looking like we all have regret or two. I need a Sentinel myself.

[@fullhit08]

Great video. I like your stuff. I have a Spider-Man 99 in the white suit still in box, and the cosmic ghost rider unboxed if you are interested.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Those are deff 2 figures I'm interested in. We should talk off the comment section, let me know how.

[@grudgematch6653]

I regret not getting the Haslab Giant-Man. I know people out there will sell him for like $600+😢

[@ClevasMultiverse]

and I think that one was only like $200 when it came out if I'm not mistaken. Those Haslabs shoot up in price once they release that's the thing about them.

[@BobsMarvelPileUp]

Seen a couple on that list that I still didn’t grab myself especially that hellfire club. I’m waiting to find them loose somewhere. Fortunately I have some good connections in my area that either call me or hold things on my list when they come in and sell to me at market value or a little below.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

That's a blessing my brother. I don't have anybody holding anything for me lol. Half of the time over here people are trying to hide stuff and come back for it later. I feel like the first person that walks in gets everything and boom. After that it's just that peg-warmer character for the next 2 months.

[@BobsMarvelPileUp]

@@ClevasMultiverse That was my dilemma at first untilI got cool with the mom and pops stores. They might charge a few dollars extra but won’t shelf figures for their friends like the corporate stores do.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

@@BobsMarvelPileUp That's the secret right there, I need to start talking these store owners up. I go straight in and out.

[@sushiatsushi1538]

I feel u on kraven

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Man, that was a big regret for me.... till this day I have nightmares of me putting him back on the shelf lol.

[@ohnoezitsjoez]

My main regret was always the end game worthy Cap, but thankfully that regret passed. Also kinda ironic, the Galactus is one I actually regret getting. I got it, opened it verify the contents, and back in the original shipment box it went and has stayed. Wish I had skipped!

[@ClevasMultiverse]

That worthy cap shot up in price quick when it came out. Did you think the Galactus was too big?

[@ohnoezitsjoez]

@ClevasMultiverse naw nothing like that, it's dope. But when I pre-ordered, I was big into marvel, but by the time it arrived, I had lost my passion for marvel, and my collecting focus had drastically changed. So now I'm kinda stuck with it.

[@nbriez-c5914]

I am sooooo mad I passed on Cosmic Ghost Rider, Target had them on clearance for under 20 at the time too

[@ClevasMultiverse]

I feel the same way. There was a point where I was looking at that Ghost Rider and I passed on it. Come to find out he blew up out of nowhere. Now I want him and it looks like everybody else does too. He's one of the figures that I always remember when I'm thinking about passing on or waiting on a figure.

[@nbriez-c5914]

@ClevasMultiverse that's why I'm too nervous to play clearance roulette anymore and I end up pre-ordering everything I can, it's funny too cause most of this list are the exact same figures I missed and am now kicking myself because of

[@ClevasMultiverse]

@@nbriez-c5914 2024 is not the year for clearance chicken unless your cool with not having it. Yeah, the figures I picked are mostly almost vintage in how long ago they came out. That's the reason that I don't have them so I was guessing maybe it would be the same for other collectors. They never even tried to make another Absorbing man. That's one of the main ones that I want to get right there.

[@edeff1119]

Great video. TY!

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Thank you!

[@FancyxToast]

My dumbass man. I was in Puerto Rico visiting family a little while back and saw that cosmic ghost rider set at a flee market for $15. I knew it was a steal but I had just started college and I was like I need to be an adult and not buy shit like this. Man one of my biggest regrets

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Damn 15 was a steal my brotha!

I don’t have any regrets But running out of space so I’m going back to the beginning and getting stuff I really want Also going to be donating some stuff

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Your blessed my brother. I wish I could say the same. Running out of space is deff something I can relate to as well. I have stuff in bins that I want to take out and display and I just can't. I hate having to decide and pick, I kinda wanna do it all. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

[@WarecusBlair]

Yeah the space I really thought I was doing something by rearranging the room but nope

[@ClevasMultiverse]

@@WarecusBlair Sometimes you can get away with a little bit of room like that but it's never like a game changer. Just enough to get us through a few more figures maybe. I mean we have to try though right?

[@GRAYMATTER_235]

Never regret not getting a marvel legend. Be patient and it will come back out. Red hulk, green goblin, king pin, silver surfer, etc. just wait it always comes back around.

[@ClevasMultiverse]

Sometimes it works out like with Rhino, but look at Lizard. That new one isn't the same for me.
