Anthony, thanks so much for doing this! I know it’s weird doing a preview video on something like this, it really means a lot! 🙏🏽
For anyone reading, just a heads up that the basic figure offering has what’s included in this video.
Let’s go Rivals!! Can’t wait to see your project move forward in the future. More indy companies, yes!!
Is it gonna sell internationally? Especially Philippines?
Ask the guy about the flaws in private (if you haven't done that already), because the concept is cool, sculpt is nice, the purpose of the line is good (pinless joints kind of defeat that, tho), but there's definitely some room for improvement. Having said that, I hope you prosper, I really do.
Mate, reading your reply in Anthony's comments has already made my day. RESPECT, dude.
Best of luck.
Could make for a more cartoon Fast and Furious Dom.
1 more day!
Rival Collectibles 2024
Here's hoping
@@AnthonysCustomsyou will be crushing the toy collector scene with your Rivals and i can't wait!!! Fully gonna support your line!!!
🙏
I, too, will be supporting Anthony’s line.
let's go! 👏🏾🔥
If there's one person I'm looking forward to start a new brand of collectibles/figures it's you Anthony. I've seen countless of your reviews and your sculpting works and you CLEARLY know your stuff and what you're talking about (anatomy, articulation etc) without sugarcoating anything. It's a privilege to watch your videos, I'm very grateful for your work and honesty.
thanks a lot. i appreciate the vote of confidence.
"unlike.....the kiddie toy" oh that one was a classic. That has to go down as one of the best AnthonysCustoms one-liners for 2023.
Ah yes - we all know what/who Anthony was referencing with that amusing, witty quip! 😅
Could you please elaborate?
@@randomuser4067He's referring to Marvel Legends that look like kid's toys
Shart sent his precious lamb to the slaughter knowing damn well you’re one of the most hardcore reviewers like the critic from ratatouille and you handled it in the most respectful yet honest way. This is why I’ve been a fan of both channels since the early 2010’s!!
It's always been Shartimus & Anthony from the start.
This just shows the respect the community has for your opinions. Russ trust your views and opinions. I mean most of watch your content for your critique. Been watchn for awhile now. Great video.
For real, Anthony is a great filter for unbiased opinions. Whenever I need some valid information, not only about product quality but relative to price, he's my go to.
Yeah, AFAIK Shart and Anthony go way back.
@@Duomaxwell02M At least 10 years.
I can definitely hear your silent judgment Anthony lol. I wish you'd criticize the hell of it, but I understand. The Prototype looks great overall, good luck for Russ.
Bro same HAHAH when he got to the leg proportions and did the length of the lower section relative to the thigh lmal
Same.💀 The disc hinge neck, the reverse abcrunch torso, the long lower legs, the poor engineering on the feet and no vertical hinges for the gun holding hands.😬 There’s also quite the thigh gap on the them. And gun holding hands for swords.
I mean I ain’t trying to be rude here but I think we all know these aren’t going to be the best figures out there for $31.
I honestly don’t see these selling at all. Respect the effort the dude put into this but the prototypes Anthony ma de a year or 2 ago looks a million times better than these and are so much more creative too.
@@Jvm-iq2qe is it just me or is ShartimusPrime's line basically just Hasbro but his OCs??
@@cheesuschrists it is. Unfortunately the guy doesn’t seem to know very well what makes a good figure good and a bad one bad.
There’s also the name “street humans” which doesn’t make sense to me. Hearing street humans you’d think maybe punks and stuff with superpowers but instead it’s aliens with animal heads. Theres nothing in the name that suggests that but there it is. Street aliens is more on the nose but would make more sense.
Hopefully one day once he has refined his ideas and figures some more he’ll be able to come out with a successful figure line.
Respect, Anthony. We know you could have destroyed it, but chose to be nice and support the guy (that toe hinge is a gold mine for jokes). Props to Shart for trying to start a toy line, but come on. COME ON.
He thinks Marvel Legends are good, what'd you really expect?
@@TheMattTrakker I mean, lots of 'em are good. I got into collecting after watching Shartimus reviews. These days Hasbro mostly produces garbage, but some of their figs are nice.
It’s a PROTOTYPE. I feel like you misunderstood why Anthony said he wasn’t gonna review review it. It’s a rough draft and nothing is final. Even that big space at the bottom of the butterfly joint. A lot of adjustments can be made still or completely changed. The toe joint was messed up but Sharts comment was to clean it up and I think that’s what he meant. It would’ve been pointless to destroy a work in progress. He made that much clear. The final draft is what you destroy. I mean come on, come on.
Anthony, very cool of you to preview Shart's prototype but if anything this video makes me that much more eager for your Rival Collectibles line to see the light of day.
Okay, so here's what I think could be improved, maybe Shartimus can change these things.
-Neck joint, of course, opening the head socket a bit to allow more range. Making the neck thinner wouldn't really solve this.
-Butterfly joints are way too big, and have little range. Testing out a better position for the inner pegs to allow more range would be the best path forward, as to not mess up the sculpt.
-However, there is a huge gap in it, almost as if the shoulder was on a ballpeg inside the butterfly joint, and if that's true then there should be a cap. That doesn't look good or need to be there. I do think the butterfly shoulders overall need to be resculpted.
-Wrists need up and down hinges for the gun and weapon. That is 100% needed change.
-The torso is very gappy, and the range doesn't really justify it. Either make a cap to hide it, or better yet, resculpt the torso joint. Fill it out so the hole isn't so big.
-The crotch diaper needs to be made of soft plastic to allow the torso joint to move more, plus the hips to bend forward more without going out.
-The knee joints are too high. Proportioning is off. Lower the joint maybe half a centimeter. And maybe open the hinges more to allow for full bend.
-The pant sculpt around the ankles is way too limiting. Open it up more to allow for more ankle pivot and bend, and maybe drop the ballhinge a few milimeters to allow for even more motion.
-The toe joint needs to be rounded out, instead of being a straight cut. As is it will not even work because of the part that comes out of the flat part.
Hopefully Shartimus can fix these things! I know prototypes are expensive and changing these things WILL cost, but the figure will be so much better with these changes, so I hope he can consider them. I am a fan of his and I want this to succeed.
I agree with pretty everything you said. Shart did say he's going to give the gripping hands vertical hinges, and he said the toe will be more rounded on the bottom. But he hasn't addressed any of the other issues. All he said was (paraphrasing) "The issues with the articulation will be improved on the final product."
But I doubt he's going to sculpt new shoulders, upper torso, pant cuffs, butterfly joints. I don't think Russ really knows too well about what he's doing with these figures. I think he went into this not fully understanding why articulation works or doesn't work. Like he's convinced double ball peg necks don't work
Things to improve: double ball peg in the neck, better shoulders joint and bigger proportion to avoid weird biceps swivel joint, better butterfly joint range, double ball peg upper torso for a better range articulacion, low torso proportions hips and better cake, leg joint for better front range, better toe joint clear shape, extra hands with vertical swivel.
A list of thing I've learned watching this channel, thank you Anthony!
I suspect most of theese things won't be alterable at this point, he (Shartamus) seems dead set on neck hinge and reverse abcrunch setup from his reviews. The toes and hands are smaller adjustments that he seems to know about and has stated to be working on so that is likely to be improved. The legjoint is 50/50 and is the biggest eyesore to me, the body looks like it has birthing hips and has bad range both ways
great video, I had to constantly remind myself that this is a preview, because this doesn't feel like Anthony reviewing a figure(this feels like how the Hasbros want Anthony to review Legends).
And this is how Russ reviews Legends, and he's friends with the Legends team... hmm
As a critically honest and objective reviewer of action figures and the like, Mister Anthony has built up good faith amongst the community. As collectors/consumers, we trust his credibility. The cogency of your reviews is always appreciated, dear boy. Here, you are known as a brilliant chap of integrity, and you have established a good rapport with the community. 👍Anthony is ace!
And I concur; indie companies are great for the action figure community. God willing your Rival Collectibles kicks off successfully! The Marino family wishes you and your brand a prosperous debut year!🙏
Cheers,
Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧
It’s just such a niche group of people that would have a use for these. It’s specifically people that do action figure photography.. which is a tiny portion of the people who buy figures. It will not get funded…
It’s definitely great seeing content creators starting their own independent toy companies. With that said, I kept waiting for that classic Anthony criticism throughout this video lol. Prototype be damned, send him back to the drawing board.
Not ethical for me to review an unfinished product. Preview is what you get. Lol
This looks cool, there's room for improvement (as always), but taking into consideration that this comes from a way smaller team with less budget and everything else, it is amazing.
I'd like to play devil's advocate and say Anthony designed his figures entirely on his own
@@chewymew that is true ;) which will make Rival Collectibles an even more impresive line when it comes out
I’m supporting him and preordered one figure on BBTS, which is this one and I’ll support your Rival Collectibles figures someday as well. I really hope Street Humans get funded. I do like how his figures look.
I know this is a prototype but so far it feels very Marvel Legends-y. The shoulder should be able to move the arms towards the chest a lot more than it does here, the toe hinge has a bad look (I'm sure they can figure it out)
And I don't really like the neck articulation. The lower abdomen hinge looks alright but but not sure, maybe a ball peg system would work better. The upper body being able to move around like on a ball joint is really good tho, reminds me of model kits and some of the Bandai figures
But things like the large diaper piece and the sculpted butt cheeks hinder the leg range and obviously prevent it from moving the legs backwards
Overall I think it's okay based on what you were able to show but it just feels like it's emulating hasbro and McFarlane and other huge companies at the moment but hopefully they can do better and take notes from Jada's street fighter line or even some of the better SH Figuarts or Amazing Yamaguchi figures.
They can only do so much without over spending for those extra things. I'm sure he wanted gi joe's neck articulation but that would cost a lot more and change the whole mechanism for the upper body. This is the first time any 1/12th figure has crunch on ball peg mid section which is amazing! Hope it works out well.
@@suhtangwong Jada figures are the same price as legends and they're licensed. Miss me with that BS.
I'm glad for more competition, specially from popular members who can catapult their projects, but the ab crunch is an outdated thing to have
Thank you for the preview, definitely backing. This is something fun and different and it's only 28 per
I scanned the code and it was indeed nude pics of Shartimus
It's kind of a tough deal to "review" a figure being made by a fellow collector because you want to offer criticism, but at the same time, someone who has never made a figure can't be held to the same standard as a company who has been making figures for decades. That said, it's an amazing figure for a first time prototype.
Couple of things I'd like to see is a double ball neck rather than a disk and ball just because it offers much more range and expression. I also think the crotch piece should be carved out a little more so the leg can kick out straight forward.
Otherwise, I really like it. These figures definitely fill a niche in that no other company really makes figures of regular people. I'm imagining a photo where three or four of these dudes come to the aid of Spiderman to help beat the crap out of Doc Ock.
Best of luck, Shart! Looks really good!
Or make the crotch piece soft and adjust the ball correctly and it can move fully forward and sideways.
I mean, Anthony isn't a company who has been making toys for decades, but the engineering on his prototypes outclasses lots of other toy lines.
I think Russ that the diaper is going to be a softer piece@@theraven268
Tell Poopatron if he makes zombie variants of the figures I'd buy every one of them.
The arm sculpts look quite soft compared to the uncanny amount of detail in the shirt but it’s a pretty dope prototype
This was great to watch. Can’t wait for you to really review it. If you came to Powercon you coulda seen the painted ones up close!
I was hoping Anthony would point out his usually gripes.
Like the squared off toe joints, no double ball jointed neck, the leg not having clearance for a 90 degree forward kick, and split.
Then Shartums would be able to fix them before production, but I guess then Anthony would be a consultant, and not a reviewer?
I think this whole idea of Russ sending prototypes to reviewers was more for promotion than an actual review. Anthony basically explained all the flaws and proportion issues without saying a word about them.
@@chewymew if Anthony really tore into this figure's problems, he would deserve a design, or consultant credit for sure.
Tbh agree, shart should have paid him as a consultant from the get go 😬
Cant judge fully by the prototype but there are definitely some choices on this that im not a fan of. The ball hinge neck is outdated and not as functional as a double ball peg. The pizza oven diaphragm joint is bizzare. The bicep cut seems a little weird but not bad. That forward hip range is eyebrow raising for sure. Not entirely sold on the upside-down abe crunch as a joint. And toe hinges are almost always useless imo. And im not sure the butterfly joints are doing enough to justify their existence.
ALL THAT SAID... i do like the idea of generic thugs for my heros to beat up so i might jump on board regardless.
I think the biggest issue is *who* is making this. Based on what Shartimus has said in his reviews, he makes it pretty obvious (unintentionally) that he doesn't really know how articulation works. He's said countless times that dumbell necks don't work. He said diaphragm + reverse ab crunch is better than ab crunch + waist swivel.
I think Shartimus went into this project wanting articulation he's been demanding from Hasbro, but he didn't know how to make it function properly.
I always see people say that toe-hinges are useless, i disagree. For kneeling, crawling or if using a flight stand they are very useful. Now whether they are worth the investment needed is a different issue. Now i state this assuming the toe-hinges are rounded such that they look good when moved and in neutral, so not just square cut like McFarlane usually does it.
@@theraven268 I think toe joints are great when they function properly. Most ToyBiz Spideys have good and useful toe joints. When Hasbro uses toe joints (Renew Your Vows), the badly integrated dumbell neck, the weird ab crunch + diaphragm, combined with lackluster hip movement just makes the toe joints useless. Unfortunately this figure seems to have most of these problems, so I think it's going to be wasted. The Retro Armored Daredevil figure was a perfect candidate for toe articulation.
Ball/disk hinge neck vs double ball barbell peg is more of a design preference. With the Disk hinge/ball you can typically get a better ability to look up or down. But you lose some other articulation such as head tilt. It's more a question of preference and how you need the figure to move. For a flying character the disk hinge might be the way to go. For a Military Character that needs to aim a rifle and look down the sights, double ball is preferred.
@@andrewtaylor940 Not if you do the double peg ball peg right though
Street Humans is a funny name imo.
I agree. Shartimus should have workshopped that name a longer.
Maaaan, I am a big fan of both you and the Shart, so this is already kinda warming my heart. I see Shart asking you to review his prototype as a really BIG mark of respect.
Right....☕️ ready, and....watch!
Overall looks like a decent prototype! Sculpt looks awesome to me (can’t wait for the paint), accessories look sufficient (fists, weapons, hands for weapons, probably alternate alien head, alternate angry head), articulation for a prototype looks good (most of it will be tightened up and improved in the final product I’m sure); what gripes I personally had with the articulation, like the wrist peg articulation for the weapon hands and the pointy balls of the feet for when the toe joint is bent, we’re mostly addressed by the comments from Shartimus explained by Anthony. Great job, Shart, and thanks Anthony for doing the review!
I'm glad you did closeups. Boog showed it, but it was at a far. If they have good paint, it think he might have something. When are you going to get on your line Anthony?
When my daughter doesn't require all of my free time. She's only 16 months.
Congrats!!
@@AnthonysCustoms I understand. Kids make it hard to produce art at the baby to toddler stage. As long as you have the passion for the reviews, the passion for your own product won't fade. You pretty much have the entire toy community ready to make you a millionaire.💪
@@AnthonysCustoms yeah, i guess at that age it's hard to do stuff like that.
This is awesome! soon more collaborations with other awesome toy reviewer so they can discuss better action figures that are budget friendly and you'll get more!

Oh wow! What a dream come true seeing Anthony review sharts figure! Negative or positive it's still cool
The review we been waiting for
IMO, the sculpt is not good. Muscle def and proportion is wierd. Small head, wide hips, small arms and large upper torso.
Articulation scheme would have been better with double dumbell for upper neck and ball joint lower neck. And same for upper torso and waist. Should have followed jada toys scheme.
I’m really loving the body and all the articulation.
First time I catch one of your videos so early. These look interesting.
Hello. I'm your fan. What should I study to design action figure joints like you? Could you provide keywords for specialized institutions, curriculum, or 3D applications used in this field?
Other than learning how to sculpt, traditionally or digitally, I don't know of anything that teaches someone how to do it... besides good old fashioned hands on experience.
Thank you. I had imagined that there might be institutions or curriculum specifically for this, but it seems not! Haha. It's been very informative.@@AnthonysCustoms
@@kwangwoncho2898you could also ask Tony Vala, since he DID study toy design to enter the industry. There's some interviews where he talks about it.
@@BaranKRool Wow! Thank you for the information!
@@kwangwoncho2898 No problem. Valaverse is doing interesting stuff in the toy scene. I heard him talk a bit about his formation in ClownfishTv and I think he sometimes hang out in the 3poa podcast here in CZcams.
Maybe Aaron Archer from Transformers fame can also help you? His podcast is called Toy Armada, fascinating stuff. He talks a lot about the 'behind the scenes' of toy making from the 90's and 2000's from his experience.
I wish Shartimus the best of luck with this. This is clearly a dream project for him. I do have some concerns, although none of them are about the figure itself. Which looks to be an excellent sculpt, with good articulation points. My concerns are more business side. Yes we have seen some succesful Kickstarter figure projects that leapfrogged into major growing toy lines. Most obviously Mythic Legions and Valaverses Action Force. But those came from people who had spent decades in the toy production and manufacturing industry. The Four Horsemen and Bobby Vala. They knew every step of the process, all the costs and logistics involved. Who to talk to, how to get the best deals, what to expect in terms of problems etc. They had shepherded lines to market before. Their lines weren’t so much dream projects as they were the next step in long careers that had built up to that point. But most Kickstarter projects aren’t that. These recent ones by The Fwoosh and Shartimus look good. They are clearly dream projects, but I’ve learned to be hesitant regarding Kickstarter dream projects from people that have not experienced the full scope of the business they are seeking to enter. If for no other reason that they always, always underestimate the ultimate costs that it will actually take to fulfill. The more complex the product, the greater this miscalculation. With that said I may take a gamble on one or two of Shartimus’s Street Humans. Just because they look like plane everyday dudes on the street. Which is useful in a collection. The hideous bat and cat heads not so much.
TheFwoosh ninja/samurai line came out pretty well i think, so not a great example if you ask me.
I like how the butterfly joint on an indie figure line is better than a billion dollar company
It’s giving me custom gta vibes and hey I like it
I like the 3 joints torso
Anthony's customs ftw!!!! Glad you did this review, no way this guy is going to bs anyone.
GREAT COLAB THO💯
Great preview because like you stated it’s not a proper review. It does have quite a few areas that need to improve but that’s why I’m assuming he’s letting some reviewers give their opinions but yeah it’s different than a traditional review.
That opening in the “butterfly” joint looks way too big enclosing the shoulder joint in my opinion.
Overall great video as always and wish that the prototype was more of the finished product so that you could do a proper review! 🤘🏽
He looks like Vin Diesel, that's great for fans of FF saga, but also Riddick.
😮😮 they have balls sending that to you for review.
The Prototype looks cool, good luck to Russ :)
A crossover episode???😮
Well, this definitely looks more in my wheelhouse than whatever monkey thing Unparalled Universe is making 😅
Hey do u know if they post to australia? Tring to back it on kickstarter and says only for Mexico USA & Canada ?
You'd have to ask him. I have no info beyond this video.
It's so cool that Shartimus made a Dominick Torretto figure. 🤣🤣🤣 Sik
If ONLY when I scanned it it would take me to those pics. But seriously I'm excited for this, might even join the Kickstarter. With that being said there was a lot of silence during this review.
preview, not review...but I noticed that as well
@@TheMattTrakker yeah, it said review so that's why I said that. My bad.
I will not review a prototype… proceeds to review prototype 😂
I don't think you watched the video. I said virtually nothing for the entire video.
The prototype looks like a marvel legend, but accessories it comes with, looks great
Great preview, not my cup of tea, but is great this projects comes to fruition. My take will be no abcrunch just a ballpeg at the waist. That will look better and work better, probably cheaper to make I guess too
Seeing stuff here that is on par with or even better than a major toymaker (Hasbro) is definitely promising. It looks like the route he's going is for regular human bucks, gang members, army builders, but also offering a mutated version? Pretty cool. I love seeing more creators getting into the space and giving NECA, McF and Hasbro something to worry about.
I don't know if you know this, but the Kickstarter failed
Some how it reminds me of Family and crazy car stunts.
The problem with these lines is that is missing the nostalgia collectors are bound by. Collectors buy stuff that marked their childhood and makes them remember the good old times. Something that your line of figures has nothing of.
Oh no, it has the ab crunch set up that you hate
Big difference though it's that there's also a ball jointed waist, so you get rotation, plus some more lean side to side and forward/back out of it, with added bonus of being swappable between figures. That additional joint makes the entire torso much more functional compared to RYV body mold.
@@mkl4466 It still has the ugly cuts, weird bulge when you lean it back and noticeable gapping. It's ugly and unnecessary.
@TheMattTrakker The problem is Shartimus doesn't really understand how action figures work though
Not a fan of Shart, but the prototype looks kinda cool
How come
@@7OnAtuesday I can't answer for randomguy, but for me, he's too childish and too much of a fanboy to take seriously when it comes to a figure review. Even when a Marvel Legends figure is garbage (even more than usual) he say it's not very good - he doesn't call it bad - , but that "I'm just happy to have this character/ update this character."
@@7OnAtuesday cuz he’s cringe and is a Hasbro shill constantly bent over waiting for Hasbro to drop the next mid
@@7OnAtuesday He's not a reviewer, he does product showcases.
I am still on the fence if I am going to back this as it's not really my style. I do have to give respect to Shartimus for asking you to preview the figure, especially since you tend not to sugar coat things or hold back. I am excited for Shartimus to review your line. Hopefully soon.
Lets go
The bat looks like negans bat from the walking dead.
I think that was the point lol
@@chewymew lol
RIVAL CLANS, BABY!!! 🥷🥋⚔️🦾
I like indie figures because they do things the main companies don't but this kinda feels too much like a hasbro figure.
Yeah, this is basically a Marvel Legends figure with a part swapping gimmick. But that was also part of his selling point. Random extras who will supplement your other figures, these aren't made to be the center of attention or to command the shelf. They're just going to be hanging out behind Kingpin or something
@@chewymew I get the idea but all figures should be center of attention worthy even random goons. Jada or action force make good figures that work with hasbro ones. I'm not into figures that are imitating a line that has a lot of flaws.
Nice!
Just wish Shartimusprime uses the Double ball peg and a proper ball jointed waist and double ball for the torso and not reverse ab crunch and disk hinge
he praises every single marvel legends figure so no surprise here I will never support that guy
U would think if he's asking u to do this the one thing the figure would have is a double ball joint for the head lol
We all know dang well Anthony is holding back so much criticism lol which criticism is good, to help improve the final products. Like that atrocious toe hinge! Anthony knows how to make them perfect but won't say in this video. It's in his other ones.
Imagine rival collectables street humans two pack
I’d love to see arkham thugs from asylum , city, origins and knight
Ab crunch in 2023 is wild
I know you didn't want to critique a prototype, but I hope you gave Shartimus your full opinions on everything so he would have an idea of what to adjust (if possible still at this stage).
That's would essentially make me a designer of his line. That's another reason I don't review figures in development from any brand. I would be working for free on lines other than my own.
i remember commenting on a shartimusprime video a long long time ago, i said i thought your reviews were more honest he dissagreed
CROSSOVER
What did you think of the aesthetic proportions?
For a product in this stage of dev, I made any comments I'm willing to make at this time. If you watch my reviews you'll probably have a good idea of what I would say though.
@@AnthonysCustoms I hear ya man. I think Shart was maybe hoping for some of those types of critiques on his prototype, you know? Kinda get different reviewer opinions on it from what they normally do in reviews. I mean obviously it’s a prototype so as your viewer I wouldn’t take any criticism you had as the project is going to fail but rather as mmm Shart can improve in some areas.
The head sculpt looks okay, but the rest is... well, let's just say anyone who watches your reviews for a while will already know what your opinions are.
Looks great. Very life like. These would make great street thugs. Wish they were 1/10 scale to use them with McFarlane figures.
Uh... you can call the shirt a "tank top" or "athletic tee shirt"... if you don't want to use the "wife beater" term.
I have no problem with the term. It's definitely not a tee shirt though lol
@@AnthonysCustoms Fair enough!
Shartimus Prime did a nice try but not my cup of tea...
I prefer the Anthony's prototype figures for now...
I could do without the jokes - the nude pics and “that is what she said”.
But you were very sensitive handling the prototype and very generous with your comments.
👍
prototypes are too fragile hopefully with time it wont be that way
might as well spend on future gi joe classified awesome figs.This is just junk for me.maybe gold for others.
28 each? he had a chance to compete or offer a better price but instead goes with what Hasbro is doing. there better be some good paint details or something bc what he's offering for 28 is just not it
I saw a comment on another video saying, "$28 for this? Damn, Dwight taught you good."
@@chewymew He's literally doing what Hasbro does and it's like exhausting because we want something different
@a7xtherevrend Yeah, to me, this body looks like a cheap knock-off of that tank top Hugh Jackman figure. Nothing about this line or articulation sticks out, it's just generic guy #2. And the cool alien parts (the whole plot line behind these characters) unlocks as a tier 3 stretch goal. Even the other main character is a stretch goal. Considering how tiny Shartimus' active fanbase is, it's unlikely the second character is even going to be released. Also, the alien parts are a separate accessory pack for $18.
@@chewymew It also doesn't help that he's just a fan of figures like he doesn't know anything about them like Anthony does and I'm not saying that people have to know the inner workings of figures to make them work but it sure doesn't fucking hurt
@a7xtherevrend I feel like Russ' approach to this line is that of a man child who is in the position of making an action figure line. He wants all the articulation he's been asking Hasbro to do, except I guess he didn't do any research or inspection of other figures to see how articulation should work. Then - just like a little a kid - he sees articulation engineered incorrectly (Hasbro double ball pegs and diaphrams) and say they don't work. Then he tells this to his audience, and they're convinced it doesn't work. So now we have other uninformed people going around saying that hinges are better than ball pegs, all because one guy (Russ) couldn't be bothered to do research
This is simultaneously lacking and overdesigned; hinged neck equals no tilting, and if this is supposed to be an average grunt, what use is a butterfly joint? The head is the most expressive part of a figure, and if you want an army of grunts, you want to be able to pose them in a way that they get knocked around by some other figure with the most creatively dynamic poses possible, to "sell" the hits they're taking from your hero figure. Really gonna choose butterfly joints over, say, the myriad of possibilities that mooks can be posed when they're smacked in the head? I could've understood if this was like Mafex's excellent butterfly joints (because then the figure could use even more exaggerated poses for both taking hits and landing them), but this one just looks like a waste of money compared to investing in the neck. Then there's that's ab crunch that's super noticeable because of the vertical lines on the tanktop.
Nice sculpt though.
They are average Grunts to us. Shartimus seems to be giving them some odd Alien shapeshifter backstory and unappealing animal heads. Which seems an odd choice as I get the impression most collectors would really like a nice line of some standard "street humans". Some assorted city people. Miscellaneous thugs, cops, firefighters, and victims... I mean normal civilians, to flesh out our displays and collections.
Damn!!!! The sculpt looks beautiful. It has great articulation. The only thing I wish they are 7inch
I already see so much flaws in this line
fair video. the figure looks basic and fine
Sorry Sharty, easy pass for me. My money goes to valaverse, Jada, and anthonyscustoms once he comes out with his figure. Thank you for the review Anthony.
Why does the figure on the right look like sneako?
I think he sent you the figure for and honest break down on improvements for the design. Honestly I'd just hire you as a consultant for designing figures.
Bat……………
Finna sample them guts.
But why would you design an ab crunch in the year of our lord 2023 instead of double ball', like mcfarlane and literally every manufacturer outside hasbro is doing ? This is not the 90s, with ab crunches and swivels, only hasbro has 30 year old designs. I am not a fan of thigh cuts since they always, 100% of the time look like shit. Im a fan of Mafex style drop down legs and swivels. If you really need the extra range, you have it. If the regular range is enough, you have it as well and you also have a perfect aesthetic for the figure and the crotch piece hides the ugly joints and innards of the legs. I've never agreed to Anthony's stance on drop down hips and speedo wearing crotches. It looks like shit, you dont design the articulation at the expense of the way the figure looks. Soft plastic crotch pieces like mcfarlane and mafex have is the correct way, that bend out of the way if you really, absolutely need that extreme posing, but most of the time i'd say you dont, so you'll have a better looking figure because of it
I agree with the the ab crunch beugn outdated
As for legs I'd rather it be more like sh Figuarts 2.0 figure like the Japanese spiderman. Yeah the little cap things between the leg and diaper piece can look but typically Figuarts legs have amazing range
Alao I want better shoulder/butterfly joints in something like this lol
Shart loves Marvel Legends, so his choices surprise me exactly 0%
Drop down hinges are not needed at all if you design the joint correctly. Besides, they're fragile and always move around as you pose the figure. They're usually an unjustified mess.
@@SP8inc There's no design around exposed hinges. If you want to cover the joints, you need a trunk piece. No way around that. Drop down legs are so you can get around the trunk piece and get additional range. Otherwise you dont have to use them. Drop down legs dont have downsides unless the company messes up. I know Anthony likes to repeat what you said, but thats not true. I dont want my figures like Hasbro is doing them, with exposed plastic and hinges. Or how the Jada Fei Long has them, visually. I think the trunks at the crotch as a separate piece in order to hide the ugly joints there is mandatory. And drop down is to get around that if you want the maximum range
Nice! 2/10
i will not support anything that guy does
I loved this!! Anthony your the man!! loved it when both toy reviewer support each other!! @ShartimusPrime KUDOS!!!
The more successful kickstarters the better… except if it’s from HasLab!
