MARVEL LEGENDS WOLVERINE VS LADY MANDARIN REVIEW | WOLVERINE 50TH ANNIVERSARY SERIES

[@solarflare9562]

Now we just need an updated Jim Lee Psylock

[@Xmanny87]

I’m counting on it. You think X-Men ‘97 wave 3 since (minor spoiler alert)….. Morph transformed into Psylocke during battle?

[@khamla616]

Heck yes I’m guessing comic version

[@suhtangwong]

Yes but I want mvc2 style, using pinless updated moonstone buck 🙏

[@ravenfrancis8803]

Ditto, waiting for that too. Body if the new pinless electra and 3 pack psylocke.

[@MossieurSage]

@@Xmanny87 Really they could do a "Morph Special" wave with some of his most iconic cameos : Archangel, Psylocke, Colossus, Quicksilver, Magik...

[@aznsketcher]

*THIS STORY WAS SO GOOD BACK IN THE DAY! FREAKING MADE ME A JIM LEE FAN when I read this 3-parter ACTS OF VENGENCE storyline.* I am super hyped for this 2-pack.

[@Xmanny87]

Yes! It sounds like my story time segment got you pumped

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

Mandarin means Counselor. The Portuguese were the first to refer to a Chinese official as a "mandarin." The word hails from the Portuguese word mandarim, which developed, by way of Malay měntěri, from Sanskrit mantrin, meaning "counselor." Mandarins were promoted by successfully completing the imperial Chinese examination system, which was primarily based on the teachings of Confucian texts.

[@Xmanny87]

I’m very aware bro. I’ve always said there’s no excuse for characters like him or Man-Ape not to appear in the line. Lego featured these characters with the same exact names in their game and you know, no one is more family friendly than Lego. So if Lego can see it’s not harm then I don’t know why Hasbro can’t see it.

[@wingerton]

I LOVE the intro with history of the character Lady Mandarin/Psylocke/Revanche so much! I'm sure that's a lot of work but more like that please. So good!

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you! It’s very time consuming but I felt the need to explain it because I know a lot of people get confused with the whole body transformation between Betsy and Kwannon.

[@chrisjordan8109]

Dare I say we could get a 2pack with a deluxe Gambit and Belladonna with the new Psylock buck. Beautiful 2pack imo I just wish they gave her the new articulated body but Ill be getting this regardless, but I think I may wait, this screams XMAS gift to myself 😅

[@Xmanny87]

Can’t go wrong with adding to the birthday or Christmas gift list lol

[@Noobnormality]

Somehow the explanation on Psylockes backstory is even better on this video than the sources i found on the internet lol, thanks for the (not so) brief history lesson!

[@bradforever4489]

Love the diaphram cut on the cowboy Logan.

[@bradforever4489]

Thanks for the review. on the fence on these two-packs. Might wait to see if they go on sale

[@Xmanny87]

My pleasure.

[@haydentcem]

I really hope they do The Mandarin in his armor from Uncanny X-Men 256-258

[@Xmanny87]

That would go on my X-Men display right away.

[@marvelfanatic9535]

Here’s hoping that X-Men ‘97 Jubilee will have these new bubble effects

[@Xmanny87]

Probably give us those crackle FX in a pinkish/purplish color.

[@bradforever4489]

You Chat - if you could only pick up ONE of the Wolverine Anniversary 2 packs - which one would you choose? Let us know

[@N2mesnob]

Really liking the new beginning and the pro and con list. Way to get better🥳

[@robertfalcone3025]

Im only planning on picking up the Sabretooth & Patch/ Joe Fixit 2 Packs because i already have the Psylocke from the Nimrod 3 Pack.. but i AM looking forward to the FLOOD of Marvel Legends Wolverines & Wolverine heads on the aftermarket Btw i agree 💯💯 that it will ridiculous for Marvel Legends to NOT release Mandarin now.. after releasing a LADY Mandarin in this 2 Pack Anyways im looking forward to your review of that Patch/ Joe Fixit 2 Pack brother.👑

[@Xmanny87]

Yes sir. Thanks! I’m actually looking forward to that pack.

[@jcarret26]

Awesome review Manny! Love the Lady Mandarin figure. When they first showed this two pack I wasn't really impressed but seeing in hand reviews. I'm sold on this two pack just to get her! TheHead sculpts are straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Maybe some customizer will make a wired cloth cape to maximize the mobility of that figure. I'm all in on this two pack.

[@Xmanny87]

I think I’ll have to invest in a fabric wired cape for her.

[@loveordie4]

They need to start doing softgoods capes. All that plastic gets in the way of posing.

[@Xmanny87]

Yup

[@packrat2k7]

I'm really hoping they give us an OG Psylocke at some point. This version gives me hope that her armoured version might also be a possibility one day. As for the underwhelming Wolverine included in this 2 pack, remember that Hasbro's gonna Hasbro. You never get anything good/great without getting something else that makes you go "*WHY*???"

[@Xmanny87]

😂😂😂 I’m aware and you’re not wrong my brother.

[@NinJa-qr1sp]

Can't wait for them to redo the Jim Lee ninja style Psylocke. I have the Mafex but something feels a little off

[@Xmanny87]

Same here bro. I love my Mafex Psylocke but I was expecting more out of that double diaphragm joint.

[@lyndonluischua9747]

Definitely buying that 2 pack! I have to buy a new Psylocke because of my previous one, all pins, legs are wobbly and a lot loose (From Nimrod pack). I love the new head sculpts, especially the evil grin. Haha, looks like she needs Snickers chocolate bars lol. Aside from that, cool story telling and posing tutorials, man 🙌.

[@Xmanny87]

Always my pleasure 😎👊🏽

[@Rtor38486]

This was a GREAT intro Bro! It just added another layer as to why Psylocke is bad ass. Thanks for the review.

[@Xmanny87]

You’re welcome bro. Had to do it for one of my favorite X-Ladies ever.

[@BrunoStierli]

Huge Psylocke fan here as well. Lady Mandarin was not on the top of my most wanted Betsy figures but now she is. This looks great. Hasbro needs to do a super articulated Jim Lee Psylocke with loads of accessories like Black Widow. And the I also want Outback armor, pink puffy costume and Disassembled uniform. I would also love Kwannon as Revanche.

[@Xmanny87]

I’m all in for what you said. The double diaphragm torso is something I want.

[@BrunoStierli]

@@Xmanny87 Truly! Plus at least two extra heads apart from the regular Jim Lee one. Crimsom Dawn tatto and an angry one with flowing hair for action poses.

[@Synapse928]

Awesome! I think mine will be here Monday. I really love Psylocke too ... one of my favorite X-men comic moments is Revanche's reveal and first words "This woman is -- and always has been -- an IMPOSTOR!!!" And I felt so bad for Betsy in that next issue where Wolverine has popped his claws around her face and she has tears welling up in her eyes. Really excited to add Lady Mandarin to the collection. I hope we get the battle suit Kwannon as well.

[@Xmanny87]

I loved going back and re-reading all of the 80’s and 90’s classics. And yeah I felt bad for Betsy when that happened too.

[@tylerhendersonjr6587]

100/100 Wolverine Vs. Lady Mandarin 2-Pack Figure Review Now Definitely Most People Want X-Men Apocalypse Psylocke Movie Figure

[@Xmanny87]

I would love that but I disagree with that being the most wanted as everyone I hear keeps saying the Outback Classic Psylocke.

[@joycoyle4242]

Yesssss the 💜💙Queen. Very interesting story time, love it. Total Awesomeness video !!! 🙌👍👍 Love the Wolverine, too. Love love the details, tho. Love love the shots, what a masterpiece 👏 😍

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you so much!! I had fun taking these shots.

[@alvin12822]

Man.. that new wrist peg does looks flimsy thin.. I hope the Hasbro Marvel Legends Team uses the old wrist peg design..

[@Xmanny87]

Same. I’m somewhat worried about it now.

[@suhtangwong]

The story recaps are always a blessing 👌

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks! Can’t do it all the time because it’s time consuming and I have a life but when I can, I have so much fun doing them and I love that my viewers can have that same amount of fun when watching them.

[@DavidMoore-eu3jv]

I want an Outback Psylocke to finish my Outback team. I might pick this one up on sale or something.

[@Xmanny87]

Need that Outback Psylocke

[@Kuanos_]

19:27 go strike for the heart ❤️ I really got that hype for miss lady mandarin, nice review btw

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you bro.

[@WeTalkAboutSpaceships]

My mind is wandering on who else they can use those Psylocke parts for, the details on the arms and legs look great

[@erikmillman1575]

Saw someone in one of the FB groups put a Liliandra head on that Psylocke body for what I presume to be some random Shi’ar background character. Looked pretty cool!

[@fabstv3968]

What's that diorama you got there? Also, great review! I love Psylocke and I couldn't be happier that this is out (though I really wanted a Outback Psylocke first). How's Lilandra btw?

[@Xmanny87]

It’s a custom made diorama. I’m going to review Lilandra next and I’ll share my thoughts there.

[@RIO85ful]

Im more excited for this set than for the Sabretooth one.

[@Xmanny87]

I was because, well…you already know that lol

[@RIO85ful]

🤩@@Xmanny87 Its an amazing set must say!

[@Gambit2149]

Awesome review, can't wait to see deathbird to be next😎⚡

[@Xmanny87]

That might be the 4th spot on the Mount Rushmore of marvel legends female figures if done accurately.

[@troyr4521]

X-cellent review as usual, Manny.

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@Tyler_Lalonde-]

Mandarin doesn't have underlying racial tones. They had no problem using the name in Iron Man 3. No one complained. That's some bs started by people that see racism in everything. It's never been a problem for decades. It was only a "problem" after Disney tried to appease the Chinese film market. Which failed miserably.

[@aznsketcher]

1000% true

[@robertfalcone3025]

AGREE 💯💯

[@Xmanny87]

That’s the problem I meant when I mentioned it. I’m talking about Disney. I just don’t know how tightly handcuffed they are keeping Hasbro.

[@user-or3il7qv7w]

Your manifestation came true

[@Xmanny87]

lol

[@AKEP43]

Would of bought instantly if she was sold alone

[@Xmanny87]

I hear you

[@bradforever4489]

Which of the Wolverine 2 packs is your favorite - like which one would you buy if you could only pick one up?

[@Xmanny87]

I don’t have all the packs yet as I’m still waiting on one more to get but…. probably Sabretooth, because it gives me the updated Sabretooth I’ve always wanted along with the best civilian comic Logan to display.

[@bradforever4489]

@@Xmanny87 Nice, I guess I lean more towards the civilian Logan too, but if I had to choose just one, I think it would have to be the Tuxedo Logan from the Joe Chill 2 pack

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I am a Sucker for Psylocke Figures! I have several Psylocke already but I got her anyway. I have no idea how to use this Figure. I don't know if I should use this one as a Villain or as my Revance. Currently using an older Psylocke as Revance.

[@Xmanny87]

I too, am a sucker for Psylocke figures. Lol. Use her as she is. An X-Villain for the X-Men shelf.

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I might as well face it, I'm a Sucker for Female Figures anyway! I have built 10 different Earth's, 3 are Marvel, I have approximately 5,500 total Figures, I have so many Black Widows that I turned 9 into Evil Black Widows and some of my DC Earth's have Black Widows. I will probably have to throw a couple of Psylocke in too. I even still have the first Toy Biz Psylocke!

[@marvelfanatic9535]

Hoping for Jim Lee Psylocke!!!

[@Xmanny87]

Same here.

[@Geestoe]

17:40 “☝🏼🤓”

[@InscrutableSabaw]

Damn... Wolverine's shoulders are so low. 😥

[@CorinneOliv]

Jean better than me cause I wouldn’t have trained shit! 🙅🏼‍♀️😂

[@Xmanny87]

😂😂😂 If it was Madelyn Psylocke would’ve been dead. She lucky 😂

[@BiggestDawgEver]

It's an awesome set, but I can't believe we got a Lady Mandarin before a first appearance or Outback Psylocke. Ridiculous.

[@Xmanny87]

Doesn’t bother me as I love both looks dearly but my patience will be rewarded once I get that Outback Psylocke.

[@supershadixboom4040]

As a hater of reading,the story recaps are so dope

[@Xmanny87]

LOL! Glad it helps man.

[@matthewfierros2679]

So her FIRST job as an assassin is go kill a guy who’s super is not dying. Talk about stacking the deck

[@jacobfoster9185]

What does - smooved out mean 😂

[@Xmanny87]

Poking fun at my dyslexia I see

[@jacobfoster9185]

@Xmanny87 ohh I certainly WOULD have if I'd known 😅 but that's not a result of Dyslexia, it's most likely learned patterns from the culture you grew up in and I wasn't making fun of you. I was responding to someone else who was saying something cruel. I don't know if their posts were deleted or not. I don't see the first one now. Big fan of your channel.Wish you'd speak english a little more accurately.I also wish my cat would stop hunting my soul at night.I look forward to your next upload. Thank you for your excellent videos.

[@80sCave]

Why is the name Mandrin racial?

[@shanehai2699]

It isn't. It's just some woke @$$ bull$#!t excuse of some sort... Hell, Mandarin Chinese is a whole freaking language... nothing racial about it. 🙄🙄🙄

[@raymondjones5909]

Sale

[@loveordie4]

They need to start doing softgoods capes. All that plastic gets in the way of posing.

[@Xmanny87]

Yeah I’ve been saying it for years but it’s just never gonna happen unfortunately
