#FantasticFour #HumanTorch #MarvelLegends - Zábava
I'm surprised that Robo didn't try to lick Johnny because THIS GUY really looks like a Jolly Rancher lol
HA!!!!!
He's cinnamon cherry flavored!
Don’t put them in your mouth!
you can say a johnny rancher🥁🥁🥁
I like that this can also be used as the golden age Human torch so he can go with Namor and Cap
Hey Robo, my Age of Apocalypse Sunfire had the same annoying tuned in left foot. I popped it in hot water a few times and carefully twisted it the opposite way then ran it under cold water. It's much improved.
I cannot wait for the play day when you bring this back. Cause I’m sure you’re gonna do some work to it or someone is gonna 3d print something for you. It’s gonna be awesome
I wish we could have the 1980's John Byrne era Fantastic Four available. The white and dark blue uniforms were great visually. Just a classic run. And while I'm at it, I'd love to see some World War ll heroes available. Perhaps Liberty Legion's Patriot, Red Raven, or a Whizzer and Miss America combo? I love the Golden Age Whizzer but I'm not holding my breath waiting.
Robo, this is the effusive Johnny Storm figure that we've all been waiting for!
Always love the playability ideas you put out there in your overviews. It's the imagination that I enjoy about collecting . Much appreciated Robo.
Love this figure we still need a normal Johnny Storm in the blue and black to go with the Walgreens wave. I know some use a Reed body with Johnny’s head but the body doesn’t match Johnny’s build he’s more athletic than Reed.
Honestly, the 'Pizza Spidey'/modified 'Pizza Spidey' body mold is is so ugly and is so 2015 & 2016, that it needs to be retired. Plus, the duck-like feet that 'Pizza Spidey' body mold has, I've always hated. And the modified 'Pizza Spidey' body mold is way too skinny for Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic. I feel like Reed should be on either the Sunfire body mold as well or the Bucky Cap body mold. We REALLY need a new Mr. Fantastic... then again, I'll just buy two of the powered down Johnny Storm's and use one for my Mr. Fantastic.
You answered the question I had. The Select Hammond head on this body . . The hunt begins!
It looks different than I expected with the orange solid paint on the hair and wrists. Definitely improved over the Walgreens one.
I would love to see a powered down classic Johnny Storm in light blue and black WITH this body
Always love to see the Fantastic 4 on the shelves. Marvels first family!
I loved the intro! 😂
0:09 I like the watcher in the background.
I LOVE the FF. This is probably the first full wave ive wanted to buy in a long time (its a shame that it doesn’t come with a BAF)
I bought the Sue and Johnny alternates, which is her invisible and him flame off. I am SO glad they gave us that option.
I just said this in another videos comment section but he pulled out Sunfire and it made me think it... I need BANSHEE. The same way I bought the FF wave with the Super-Skrull and then bout this, give me classic Banshee in the green and yellow from Giant Sized and you can have him in his Gen X blue and yellow X-Men uniform and I'll buy both.
Hope to see a review on the Select version
Great review as always 👌🔥
Love the upside down watcher
I just opened it And burst in laugh at the intro.. thanks robo XD
Great flying pose 👌👌👌 will copy thanks!
Can't wait to see this guy next to Namor
Another amazing review
Fun to be had!
We need a plain red with black stripes HT basically a red silver surfer without flame effects sculpted on the arms or head, and a translucent yellow kinda human shaped flame piece that will plug in his back so it gives the illusion of flames around him
I love that translucent iron man is still there in the background xd
Opened mine yesterday and LOOOOOOVE it!
Where did u find it?
PFTE Thread Seal Tape for thickenning the pegs from the Select Human Torch. PFTE tape is made of plastic, not rubber, and has no glue so you can remove it when you want to unmake what you've made. maybe you can modify the "lower torso" from Cannonball to make a base for this Human Torch.
Could put a small dab of silicone on that hand peg .. it dries gummy but is a solid hold and should be easy enough to remove if you want to at some point
The Watcher is always watching you watching.
Man I so want these retro wave Fantastic 4 figures, but I've vowed not to get doubles of any more Marvel Legends that I already have a version of in order to save money. With that said, whilst I'm happy with the last set from the Super Skrull wave these designs appeal to me way more, but whilst I could just sell those earlier ones I did a repaint on that Thing figure to add the brown wash and I love how it looks, not sure I'd be able to part with it.
Eh, I'll figure something out eventually, great review either way.
The packaging is cool. It’s good to see something different from the usual.
He may be marketed as Johnny Storm. But I’ve got my Jim Hammond Invaders setup.
Honestly, I'll probably keep the Walgreens Johnny Storm with the Fantastic Four, but this one will definitely work as a stand-in for Jim Hammond with the Invaders, even if the head is wrong
I just ordered the retro Thing from this wave, the packaging hits me right in the nostalgia bone.
Cool review...nice special effects...cool...😎😎😎🤜🏼🤛🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice piece
I need this!
Can't wait to see what he looks like floating in the Nova fire stand from Galactus.
I applauded Hasbro on the duck feet because when your body is on fire your feet oddly enough stretches and gets longer. Strange how the body works.
Plus I made that fact up. :)
Great video.
'Pizza Spidey' body mold has duck feet like crazy.
Haha awesome review tio robo 🔥🔥🔥🔪
Ooh, I was so close on pulling the trigger on buying the Walgreens exclusive Human Torch prior to them announcing this. I'm so glad Hasbro released this again.
Definitely needs some yellow :T
Can´t complain too much because the first one was kinda impossible to find in Mexico so I'm happy we are getting this one now.
just left wally world looking for he-man figs or turtles an Ghostbusters but no luck! just as I was fixing to leave toy isle bam!! the whole set of fantastic 4 so of course I grabbed them all, really like the packaging 👌
I'm an opener of ML but with a package like this it'd be hard because it's the coolest thing about the whole presentation.
they really should added a led with a buble difuse mirror/glass inside the chest. it would give a core flaming effect.
This will be used as a Jim Hammond/Original Human Torch in my Invaders collection. The older Toy Biz version I had been using will become Toro. This will pretty much give me a full Invaders team of Captain America and Bucky, Namor, Human Torch and Toro, Union Jack, with Peggy Carter filling the Spitfire role.
That's Conan O'Brien after he eats spicy wings. 😂
definitely making a stand that has LEDs implemented
I Love the Fantastic Four Team❤❤❤❤
If you want more range of movement in the elbows you can cut out a notch in the joint. That way it can move more before it bumps into the bicep. I don't have this figure yet, but it's worked on all my other figures on this body.
Please please!!! never remove Uatu I love him there watching but never interfering... solid review robo!
You could also use him for your INVADERS team Human Torch.
A pleasantly brief & concise review of a contemporary 1:12-scale action figure produced by Hasbro for their Marvel Studios, Marvel Legends: Fantastic Four (Retro) toy line. Applause! Now, @FwooshRobo it seems to me that one of us, both of us, have attuned to the same, or similar, head frequency. To exhibit scientific proof of this bold, albeit abstract, claim… all either of us need do is simply hum, nase, or whistle the hypnotic tune which continues its accursed, nigh relentless spin throughout our collective headspace… spaces? You get what I’m sayin’.
Omg! I just realized that those accessories that we think go on the arms work perfect on the calves when in a flight stand! Try it out!
That's my dream figure
I plan on using this guy as a stand in for the original Torch for an Invaders set until they give us Original Torch and Toro.
That figure looks really cool or hot...anyways Human Torch also have a song which is crazy to me
I have the marvel select Human torch .now this version could stand as TORO the original human torch’s partner .
Yes, fun is what it’s all about.
While I love the translucent plastic and think the darker red is more effective, I think the best solution is a solid red or even cell shaded version.
Kind of reminds me of the toy biz human torch when they did where it had the batteries with the ball joint thighs used to light up but the face was ugly and those weird fingers lol
hehe. "bulbous"
Yeah, this guy is going to update my Jim Hammond. I hope we get the powered down red jumpsuit at some point, too.
Maybe if we ever get a Namor movie?
Looks really dope but recently picked up the diamond select version and gonna have to say that one is far more impressive. Was originally planning on grabbing this legends version for my Mezco secret wars display but I caved and decided to pre order the Mezco fantastic 4 box set.
Those flame accessories look like calf flames to me.
The head swap works great I can see customizers making Jim Hammond heads to go with this figure.
Great review. I honestly have never heard anyone in the toy community refer to that body mold as the "Scarlett Spider " mold. I do believe you got your Spiders mixed up. The figures everyone refers to when speaking of that body mold is Sunfire (so you are not the only one or the exception when calling it that, like the way you made it seem in your video, most people call it that) and Spiderman 2099 (the more contemporary looking one). 2099 and Sunfire came out around the same time and some people got one or the other wave first so thats where you get the split on what body mold to call it, but I do believe the 2099 did come out first technically. The Scarlett Spider you showed came later down the line, in fact I think there might of even been a figure or two that used that body mold after Sunfire even before we got that Scarlett Spider.
Edit Update: I got curious to see how many figures between Sunfire/2009 and Scarlet Spider there was and here is the list in order up until Scarlett Spider: All-New All-Different Spider-Man 2099, Sunfire, Bullseye, Klaw (Black Panther 2-pk), 90s Deadpool, Astonishing Ant-Man (Scott & Cassie Lang 2-pk), Silver Surfer (Walgreens excl.), Kaine Scarlet Spider. Literally like 5 figures after Sunfire that came before your Scarlet Spider 😂. But you know what the real kicker is? I found the list from FWOOSH.COM 😂🤦♂️!
9:10 Thank god we got Mafex 😌. They may not be perfect per se, but they make definitive versions. When I buy a Muhfex, Mayfex, Mahfex (pardon me) figure..I can rest assured I won't be stressed having to upgrade it every couple years.
I just found the ENTIRE WAVE at my walmart in the barbie doll section! I picked up torch cuz of this review and i noticed the back piece doesn't line up with the peg hole.
Outside the plastic shell he looks quite good.
The paint on the flames is so gloopy. Other than that, looks pretty good. I love the idea of customizing a piece to attach his feet on the select base. I pretty much got the select version just to addon to this one when it arrives.
The Toy Biz Human Torch is still my favorite.
Finally conan o brian gets an action figure...when you see it 😂
That select base would be awesome for that demo globin baf we got a year or so ago
Review of the Select one,please?
6:34 those are actually for his ankles 😉
I like it but it looks a tad dark. The one on the Bucky Cap body has the better colour scheme...more orange and yellow, though this looks incredible with a light shining through it. 🙂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Should have came with those fire effects that came with the mcu powered up captain marvel
Robo: If you get crazy with it, it will just flop around..
Me: That’s what she said!
Robo: ..and fall off.
Me: 😲😐😐
I think It needs more yellow and less orange
Are these turning up in the wild? I'm only really interested in High Evolutionary, hoping he's not as hard to find as Ultron was. Kind of wild how many Marvel Legend waves are hitting at the same time. Ursa Major, What If, Eternals, & now Retro FF. They seem like they've come out very close together, and MCU TV didn't feel like it was that long ago either (I'm certainly still seeing that wave get restocked still at the big box stores) And I'm pretty sure AOA Round 2 is coming very soon too.
You haven't seen AoA round 2 yet?
@@a.e.madison5966 Nope!
I’m seeing Conan O’Brien in that head sculpt.
Idunno, I like the old Torch's coloring more, the orange paint on the clearish red plastic looks goopy and cheap. I can see what they were going for with the black lines but I also don't think they translate well.
Looks like I'll have to wait more 2 or 3 years to get a Fantastic Four team. Walgreen's still is the best wave in my opinion. I want Kirby classic suits.
Are his no flame fists the same size as the Wonder Man Ion fist of the Abomination baf wave?
THANK YOU for pointing out the duck feet!! Its like every ML reviewer just ignores them. I've started shying away from collecting ML because of the duck feet (and other anatomical oddities)
It works for a lot of characters (Spider-Man, martial artists wearing slippers, Iceman, etc.), but it looks really bad on characters that are supposed to be wearing boots.
@@juansanchez209 I think it looks ridiculous for characters like Spiderman. It's cartoony proportions. The feet aren't the only problem either; many modern ML figs have calves that are bigger than their thighs and head from the profile view. I'm just not a fan of that aesthetic, much prefer proportions like the Bucky Cap mold.
@@CouchCit Spidermam is literally drawn with feet like that more often than not in comics though. Spider-Man doesn’t use regular boots. Even Robo thinks it’s good for Spider-Man.
@@juansanchez209 The shape is similar to how SOME artists draw Spiderman's feet, yes, but not the size. LOL @ "Spiderman doesn't use regular boots"...
LOL okay buddy whatever. Some of the best Spiderman figures don't have super big duck feet. I don't need em
@@CouchCit He doesn't use regular boots! Do you even read comics? Canonically, 616 Spider-Man doesn't use regular boots because they impair his ability to wall crawl/stick to surfaces in general.
I stand by what I said. These feet look like shit for characters who are supposed to be wearing regular boots (ex: Mr. Fantastic), but they're decent for characters like Spider-Man who don't wear regular boots.
I'm still waiting for a thing in McFarlane spikey style.
I’m not a fan of the Fantastic 4 but this is a gorgeous action figure.
Was hoping for better, Walgreens remains my preferred figure for now
You haven't opened that Kingpin? It's an awesome figure
he looks like candy...lol
I do need in my collection though..🎃👍
Are these new? Where’s these come from? Dammit robo 😆
What’s the difference between a review and an over view ?!
That inward foot thing has been a problem with a lot of figures lately. I don't know if its just from the packaging or if its the older molds giving out.
The Watcher...is...watching...
Is he popping up now? Where did you pick him up at?
Honestly, I still prefer the Walgreens Human Torch. I think even though it's more comic accurate, the retro Torch has always looked really silly. I would rather have a more "on fire" Torch. Too bad I can't find a Walgreens one.
noti gang where ya at
Walgreen would really look good if the colour are consistent
Are these out in the wild, or was this a Hasbro opportunity?
How the hell are people getting this figures so early I gotta wait til feb
