Marvel Legends LOKI Retro Carded Series Thor Action Figure Review

- These retro figures started out being pretty cool retro throw-backs but now they have slowly become what are essentially re-issues with ever-so-slight differences rather than whole new versions of the characters. Will this one be good enough to warrant another purchase?

When my wife asked if she looked okay before we went out to dinner tonight I said:
You look great....for a Marvel Legends figure.
😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼
He finally noticed me!
In Norse mythology a lot of the gods would change their gender, but Odin and Loki were the ones who did it the most from what I recall. Loki would sometimes do it just because she/he felt like it, so this different look for Loki is just referencing that fact.
This figure is the same Loki we know and love, while Sylvie from the Loki miniseries is an alternate version of him that was born a lady (think of it like the Doc Ock from Into the Spider-Verse if you've seen it).
In this case though. After Ragnarok Loki was reborn in Sif's body(I believe intentionally). So this is literally Lady Sif's body possessed by Loki. Lady Sif was stuck in the body of an old human woman. Loki eventually returned to his male body allowing Sif to be reborn. Loki was later destroyed by the Sentry and Thor brought him back in a new body which led to his reformation as a generally good guy.
Of course Loki can physically shapeshift and be a female asgardian or a horse or a snake or whatever floats his boat.
Painted on scale mail works if the source material has “drawn on scale mail” with a more cartoony comic booky look.
This Loki is a Lady Sif body possessed by Loki. That's why he's a lady in this situation.
I don't mind painted scalemail but Hasbro's female bodies really leave a lot to be desired.
Also Loki certainly identified as a lady during this period.
Sadly, Spider-Woman, Jocasta and Satanna had these exact giant hands, I think retro Rogue also got one of them. I really dunno why they keep using it.
Buy a few cheap female figs and problem solved. Like the arm switch for netflix elektra. Remember those arms yikes!
I agree with your critics, thanks for the review Anthony.
figure looks ok, I might just use it for a custom or something
Loki in Sif's body after ragnarok
love the clean paint scales
they're too big, but it looks nice on the shelf
First, i really want this figure i wish she came with some energy pieces please review the other retro loki!
That regular Loki may be ''cheap'' looking but I do think he is the best Jack Kirby design Loki ever.
Even though I'm not interested in this particular figure/character, Loki Chan looks awesome haha. Shame we don't get that great sculpt on other more prevalent Marvel ladies
Im ok with the big hands, sick of all the small ones. Im glad i picked this up though im dropping the line, 25 bucks for a ML my ass.
To be honest, I didn't know Loki aka the Trickster aka Thor's adopted brother can turn into a woman because my favorite look for him is definitely the classic design created by Jack Kirby, Great honest review Anthony.
Loki in mythology is a shapeshifter and has taken female forms. This appearance from the comics is just a reference to that
The big hands problem started at the very beginning with the SDCC Thunderbolts set that debuted the buck. The fists are from Moonstone and the magic hands are from Satana. They're just not as noticeable when they're the same color as the forearms.
I’m playing the long game on this one. Clearance price is the only price I’m willing to pay.
😂😂😂👍🏼
The representation of the scale armour is accurate however if it's meant to be chain mail it's way too big.
“She has huge hands which is kinda funny” 🤣🤣🤣
Those hands were always huge. They don’t use those as much, the new rogue had them, and so did the older spider woman.
nah, both rogues, juggy and retro came with smaller hands and fists, I have them in front of me and they are fine, spidey woman and captain marvel did have those huge hands
Just found this figure and the retro carded Loki at Ross for $5.99 each! Honestly know nothing about about this version of the character in the comics, but something caught my eye looking through the baskets near the checkout. Incredible paint job, this was an easy pickup.
Those hands come from the odin wave scarlet witch i think, because that figure was way bigger than others
Zup Anthony, for a character that I don’t care much, in the comics that is, I am a big fan of the Loki from the movies and the series.
After checking most of the females reviews with the same hands I pull the ones that I have on hand, and I got say: the AOA Jean G, Shadow C and the retro Rouge and the AOA version as well have the same huge hand, it is hard to compare, for me, and I guess that you missed it as well but now that you brought it to the light of attention I can see it, specially after seen the Mcfarlane She-Spawn, which I get it not the same line, but when put side by side it is so noticeable how huge these hands are.
In my humble opinion out of the fig I mentioned, and that I also personally own I think AOA Rouge looks best and only because that fig it’s so bulkier in comparison with the rest.
P.s: I do like the look of this She-Loki.
Thanks for the video 😎 and now back to “ keep collecting “ 😎👍🏼
Thanks as always Anthony! Appreciate you bro!
Random thought, but I'd be down to see a video by you comparing all the body molds Hasbro uses. Run through them, show their pros and their cons side by side. I feel like that'd put a lot into perspective for collectors
I think if its painted well enough, its better painted. With hasbro, it seems like the trade off is if the scales were sculpted, then we'd get no paint. Then its just a matter of praying if it looks good in its regular plastic color.
Loki was a woman when the Ragnarok cycle was ended and he was reincarnated into the body of Sif, while Sif was in the body of a dying woman.
I think they missed the mark on the look, namely because the look in the story arc it originated was going for "creepy", and had no eyebrows (or basically no eyebrows) and a really malicious look to the eyes in general. Here, it's just... female Loki. I guess it's fine for the price point, and maybe it being creepy would have turned some collectors off, but it's still a missed opportunity.
Lady Loki Cool Awsome Figure Reviews
I don't like the painted scale mail simply because it looks super out of scale to me. The color also doesn't quite work for me wit the plastic underneath.
I much prefer scale mail to be sculpted on the figure if they have it. It looks more like a collectible. Too many times they paint details that should be sculpted on figures. (Logos, scales, armor bits, etc.) When they just paint it instead of sculpting some parts of figures. They don't look like they're wearing their own suits. They look like they're cosplaying with cheap spandex costumes from Amazon instead of looking like the iconic superheroes.
Q of the Day: My default answer is usually “sculpted” but the panted scales work well here. I don’t believe the original A-Force version came with fists. That’s not an excuse for the lack of sleeves on the fists, but it may be an explanation.
New female Loki, with man hands. Did u take a good look under the loin cloth lol. As Adam Sandler said “You big hands make my -- look small”. Using an Archer reference… she’s like she hulk with hulk hands! 😂. Besides that, I’m torn, they can do scale for Capt, why not this, why can’t they fix the neck? Static, the figure looks good, but that painted mail will eventually fade or run off. I’ll pick up a few and the Jocasta body for some customs, maybe this is the same body??🤔
The Moonstone mold is perfect for most female superheroes for the idealized body archetype , it's unfortunate Hasbro feels athletic, appropriately curvy, women are some how inappropriate these days.
yeah but it doesn't have double jointed elbows, pinless joints, it has ok proportions but it needs to be updated, shriek's mold is about right, maybe still not as curvy but good enough
@Mickeyro I don’t trust Hasbro with newly sculpted parts for this body, their sculpts are extremely inconsistent in quality and we’d most likely end up with a worse looking figure
@@MrMegaman0607 hasbro has been in charge for over a decade now, this moonstone mold debuted in 2015, literally 7 years after they bought the license, if you don't trust them, why do you collect hasbro legends in the first place? either way, disney owns marvel and disney has a political agenda where curvy women are a no no, be glad your female figures don't already have male arms on them
Insecurity and hatred for women is why. And that goes for Hasbro and Marvel
@@mikecustoms Uh, I don’t lol. I cherry pick because I don’t have a lot of money, I’m lucky to get 4 ML’s a year but I used to love this like back in the Toybiz era, it’s just sad to see how far it’s fallen.
Enjoyed your review as always Anthony 😽🤟💯
Q of the day : Yeah her aesthetic is nice w the scale mail but would prefer sculpted scale mail w a wash. Def prefer that body mold for most females.
yeah the hands are oversized, only moonstone figures I can remember having huge hands are spider woman and captain marvel, both need updates asap, rogue was fine as most of them
not to mention that this is basically a way to get the sdcc exclusive as a standard release, it is basically the same thing, but people are sleeping on it, strange
Anthony is afraid to confirm Lady Loki's Gender lol 😂😊
Just picked her up today at Ross for $5.00 🔥
Just picked this up at Ross for 4.99, nice figure.
I thought you were gonna say something about the odd angle of the face.
Ok when i struggle to choose a Legend i can always count on you Anthony. I was considering getting this instead of the regular poop Loki and now i see i can go for it :)
enjoy
her upper arms look freakishly thin, like a third the size of her forearms
I feel like the whole body is too small and that the hands were the right size. She scales so small against other legends and also female figures.
Remove the head and cape. Put a rouge head. Looks like a good green version
Just got my own Loki and the fist hands don’t have any paint
Yeah the fists are huge
Remember Loki is in drag.
Are there any good open hands that can hold a sword and still fit on this body?
I think it may be more a function of small arms than large hands. Her biceps kinda look like chicken wings.
Not sure why people are so hard on this release compared to other MLs, I saw more people defending that horrible D’Spayre figure than this when it’s on a good body and has good paint (for ML standards), weird
No one could possible defend dspayre seriously. Could they?
Unfortunately I’ve seen plenty of comments on here and forums like “yeah he’s basic but I like the character” like c’mon
The hands on some older female molds look big, idk if i have any moonstone molds. They are slightly larger on some but its nothing real eye catching,could just be me tho
She looks like Adriana Ferlito. Remember her? No? K.
The "inclusive" loki
So for the scale mail, it depends on how tight the detail is. For example, something like the older Captain America figures where they just printed on the scale mail, thats unacceptable. For something like a texture on a skin tight suit, its fine for a $20 figure. I honestly hate when they just paint suit details on a blank body, like what they did with retro Falcon. It just comes off as cheap.
Some women have big hands. Plus, she's Asgardian! She's been weilding swords and hammers all her life.
Looks more like drag Loki
You know what the hand size says about a man.
Does the waist piece come off?
Not without removing body parts
That's a Man!
So I decided to endure your Tigra and Invisible Woman review (endure because both figures are so so bad) to see if there was any comparison in hand sizes on the female Retro's. Nope, couldn't find one reference at all, but looking at Tigra now it does appear her hands are elongated but that could be because of the claws. Aside from its hands, Hasbro did a decent job. I do not mind the painted scale on this one, unlike the Retro Loki which looks too cartoonish.
Loki "person"
I'm buying her/him $13 on Amazon
Y’all probably don’t care. Am getting a sh figures dbz bardock
Nope. I prefer sculpting & paint.
How is that in 2022 a $30 figure is getting a ball for articulation on the neck. Fuckin lazy Hasbro
She had man hands..
they are real and they are spectacular.
Tran------eee Loki?
Loki is gender fluid Anthony,
The "hyuk not knowing what she is" meme is annoying when it was easily solved by 5 minutes of googling.
what is googling? sounds like a made up word.
@@AnthonysCustoms Check out 30 Rock lol
woah. we have a geologist over here.
