I enjoyed this video. I like how it shows where the figures are in your room and then you physically moving them and posing them. Great work man!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you so much Steve! It means a lot being a fan and friend of yours 🥰

[@actioninthebox1]

Yes, Steve, this idea to show the figure transitioning from its display position to a spot for showcase is brilliant! It demonstrates Austin's dedication to his KZbin audience, showing that no effort is spared to bring us his best intentions.

[@nonametofame]

I appreciate the honest take on these underrated figures. It's great to have value centric options for collectors.

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

EXACTLY! I get criticism for collecting these but weighing out the price to value received is huge for me. Thank you so much for watching this. I plan on doing more! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Do you have some? :)

[@nonametofame]

​@Austin_Nicholas_ definitely, I've got Soosoo Toys Tactician (paired with Peacemaker) Blade Warrior, 007 Daniel Craig, and the Soosoo John Wick headsculpt. I'm looking forward to getting the Topo studios Batman drifter body+outfit.

[@nonametofame]

Critics shouldn't be so harsh..competition is good. And not everyone wants to pay $500+ and wait 2-3 years for a premium figure. Enjoy it now. Perfection is the enemy of good.

[@actioninthebox1]

You have just set a new standard for KZbin's top 10 showcase videos! Brilliant!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

This is so sweet, Ricardo. Thank you so much for bringing a smile to my face.

[@jimcollector]

Loved this! Really good look into your collection and great showcase of each figure. Third party continues to be a great option in some cases

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thanks brother :) I was really trying to have a unique feel to my video while trying to keep my Instagram feel to it as well!

[@jimcollector]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ think you definitely achieved it. As others said it was good to see where the figures are in your display as well as the showcase. Very nice touch :)

[@sixthscaleshero]

Enjoyed this video and great posing work with the Joker, Rachel. I don’t have any of the figures on your list, but I do have the Hero Lawyer 2.0 from the honorable mentions. I have it in a Defenders display and I think this look works better with the rest of the team as they are all wearing civilian clothes (and he didn’t wear the red suit until the end of the series).

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

She did so good :) I’m proud of her! The Hero Lawyer isss good! I think I just finally need a daredevil in the collection! 👀 A defenders display… now that sounds like something I want now 😭

[@Reverse_Zeo]

I need some of these! Great job mon ami!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Afterward I realized I should have said “ The Names Gambit, Mon Ami, Remember it! “ 😭 Thanks Zeo!!

[@Collector_Stefan]

I love ranking videos Austin 👍🏻👍🏻 good choices and great figures. And yes, I love third party figures too

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you so much, Stefan! I love YOUR WORK. I need to commission something to show off.

[@Collector_Stefan]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ 🙌🏻🙌🏻 thx my bro. I hope I can one day 😁😁

[@HowYaFigure]

Great list, man! That Mask figure is so good! And that Blade is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you so much! It seems the mask figure is VERY well liked :O I appreciate you, Justin!

[@CHILLSCISSORS]

Awesome video man! I love the OG mask!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thanks, Matt! Man… it’s hard to beat the OG Mask!

[@DannySpotchka]

Fantastic video brother , need more videos like this from you!! This was awesome!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you so much for the idea! 🙏🏻

[@ManofHotCollectibles]

Great selection sir!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@miamiznemesis1]

Awesome video! Wow Great job man keep it up! Soosoo toys made some great figures! Really enjoyed the video. I need that omni man and invincible.

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

The top third party companies video may be another idea I do… 👀 Thank you so much for watching, Chris! SooSoo has really put out some quality stuff!

[@CSAClipz]

Sick collection mate!! It's amazing!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Ahhh thank you so much! Wait until you see the rest of the collection I didn’t film ;) I truly appreciate you watching!

[@tyria93]

Like many have mentioned this video shows how a top 10 should be like. This looks like it took a while and you put a lot of effort and love into making this. I kinda regret selling my soosootoys omniman and invincible 😅. Hope this video blows up because it really deserves it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 💕

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you so much, Tyria! I’m so happy people like the format. I wanted to be different but feel like my Instagram! It took a lot longer than any other video I’ve made :O Well, I’m sure by selling Omniman and invincible you made the right choice at that time!

[@BrickArtemis]

I need this! Awesome video man

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Brick thank you so much!

[@BrickArtemis]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ well thank you!

[@themudseason]

Love the love for 3rd party figures. So much more opportunity to have a unique personalized collection besides 95% disney.

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

THANK YOU! It seems we are in the minority here, but I very much agree :)

[@TheDewdAbydes]

Sweet collection bro!🔥

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you so much! There was a lottttt not shown here! 👀

Great video 🎉 Just subscribed

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Wow. That means so much. Thank you! I truly appreciate it. 🙏🏻

[@figurcraft]

I'll forgive the fact that Blade 2 is superior to the OG ;) Bro awesome vid, I don't see a lot of love to 3rd party figures. They are figures too, some are damn good ones. That Mask looked awesome, regretting I missed on that. Love the movie! Thanks for sharing brother!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you for forgiving me! I think Danny is in the same boat as you with liking the first one more ;) Also, I appreciate you watching the video, Filly!

[@TheOneAdamTwelve]

Awesome list, Austin. Those Batman 66 figures look great!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you, Adam! I truly appreciate this :) and Mars toys is continuing the ‘66 line!

[@lamontcranston6935]

Fun video. I’ve got most of the figures you featured. Personally I’d have ranked Mars Toys Prank Villain number one given both the quality plus all the stuff he comes with ( 3 head sculpts!)

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Mars Toys figure is brilliant. It was hard topping the others for me, due to my attachment to them. What’s a figure I didn’t list that you would have?:O

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thank you so much for watching! 🙏🏻

Glad that you watched ❤️

[@lukeluck1395]

nice display case/showcase

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Luke! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it, my friend ❤️

[@emptyproxy7104]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Ahh thank you so much! This was my first ranking video. I’m not the best at this but I’m trying to get better :)

[@emptyproxy7104]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ I thought it was very enjoyable and like you said, 3rd party is able to fill in the gaps in the collection that licensed will not touch. I liked how you mentioned the price:value ratio which is something I very much subscribe to. I think the Mars Toys Prank Villain is the best example of this and additionally, IMO a top 10 figure (even WITHIN licensed) of 2023. Lastly, 3rd party companies allows collections to be distinct and unique. As brands like Hot Toys, InArt, Asmus & Threezero, etc. fight for our shelf space, sometimes I feel a lot of collections look similar with the same figures (nothing wrong with that). It is always great to see diversity and what IP's people value.

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

@@emptyproxy7104 what you explained is exactly what I wanted to add to this video! Butttt I may be making another video about this.. 👀 I agree with everything you stated! The Prank Villain is so high on my list, beating out emotional attachment due to how amazing it is! THATS QUALITY. Thank you so much for not only watching but having a conversation with me :) you’re my kind of people.

[@KeCoCollects]

Cajun Card Dealer is better than a lot of licensed pieces - "REMEMBER IT"

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

KECO! I messed up by not adding in that line! Thanks for being here, man. It means a lot to me.

[@GroizardBros]

Just an fyi if you didn’t know, you have the Omni-Man cape on wrong. You need to unzip the suit at the back and hook the cape into the little hooks on the inside of the suit

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

I DID do it wrong! Thank you so much for this. I didn’t realize it!

[@GroizardBros]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ all good brother! Didn’t know if it was intentional in an attempt to keep the red cape off the white suit as I know some people reported staining

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

@@GroizardBros I was actually very worried about the suit! lol. It had JUST got done drying after bleeding the cape for me to film this :p New video should be out Saturday! 👀

[@03Mills]

These look really Nice.....🤙

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

O3Mills! Thank you so much for checking out the video! 🙏🏻

[@closviz]

Cool video. I would say I disagree with Omni-Man. I would have switched out The Mask with Omni-Man.

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Thanks, Carlos! Rankings are really difficult for me. Its hard taking the emotional attachment of the character out of it sometimes. So, I’m a bit biased on some. 🤭 The Mask IS a really great figure. He pops for sure more than most. Do you have the dark toys one? I know another third party made one that’s pretty much the same.

[@closviz]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ Omni-Man is definitely a top tier character for me, so I get it. I had a The Mask figure but I forget who made it. I ended up getting rid of it, but… I regret it after seeing your video 😂

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

@@closviz what would be YOUR number one Third Party figure you’ve had? 👀

[@closviz]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ I would agree with your #1 pick. While it lacks some details on the pants and chest armor, it’s the best third party ever made.

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

@@closviz This is the figure that pretty much sold me on third party figures… and the fact that xmen has me hyped so much definitely helps too! ✌🏻😁

[@trembledust6819]

Hell to the yea!@ Gambit. Digging that Sackboy you have in the collection. My top 3rd party figs would be SooSooToys Gambit, Gametoys Bleach Kurosaki Ichigo, and Art Figures Arms Dealer (Klaw from BP. Body is a overly jacked for fig but works for me). Question. Why is the scabbard and sword on Blade on the outside of his jacket? Should be inside. Personal decision? Thanks for the vid!

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

I have seen that Arts Figures dealing and he looks good!! Third party figures are treated like a ‘ naughty word ‘ it seems. It’s odd to me. Honestly here is the reason… I didn’t want to mess with taking the jacket off yet. 🤭😁

[@trembledust6819]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ He is imo @good@Art Figures. That body is jacked liked I said. U hold it and u like daaaamn. lol. Yea. Some don't want to deal with them @third party. If it isn't licensed it isn't for them. However I would soooooooo take a third-party figure over some licensed products Star Ace has offered recently. eeek. lol@jacket. I hear ya. U really don't have to take off the jacket. Just slide the scabbard with sword into the slit on the back of the jacket and it should peg ok, or just slip the scacabard in the back without pegging it. Still stays in place pretty well.
