  • Can a figure of one of the least interesting character designs be made well enough to get more than just the most serious collectors to take interest?

    In my opinion, Legion should have came with an alternate head with a crazy look on his face since he is from Age Of Apocalypse and the son of Charles Xavier aka Professor X even though he is dead, But still, I got AOA Rogue and will get AOA Magneto as well, Thank you for the review as always Anthony.

    Hasbro exec: Our nemesis Anthony is always complaining that we don't put shading on our figures. He wants shading? Fine! Let's give him shading!
    Hasbro designer: About time sir!
    Hasbro exec: Shade him like he's got fop sweat and like he pissed himself.
    Hasbro designer:...I...what?
    Hasbro exec: Yeah, yeah that'll teach him. Your move Anthony.

    “Mum can we get Paul Phoenix?”
    “You already have Paul Phoenix at home”
    The Paul Phoenix at home……

    They should've put the Carnage/Cassidy head on him with the hair mold on top. This head just doesn't capture his personality. I'd love to see you repaint this figure to show them how to do the shading.

    Looks more Street Fighter than X-Men. Which is kinda cool.

    I agree with you 💯The shading makes it look like he is wearing a strange type of denim; it doesn’t look like shadows. The big eye without the maniacal expression just looks off. Thanks for the great review Anthony❣️

    I think the figure is a good one to own. I am unfamiliar with the character but he makes an excellent foil in a superhero fight.

    It's adult Gon!

    Is that Kid, from Kid & Play? 🤣

    Shading makes me think of acid wash jeans. Not realy a pro or con, just an observation. I'm a fan of these leg sculpt, I keep hoping for an immortal iron fist with them.
    Head sculpts overall have a blandness to them. I assume it's for line consistency but it just makes them very uninteresting. I was reminded of the toy biz sandman sculpt recently and thst still works in the line but has so character and an artists touch that just doesn't exist now. The new doctor strange and toybiz anniversary figures look like they've got more of it at least

    That shading makes him look like he's been sweating a lot, it's definitely ambitious but I really don't think it came out looking good..waay too heavy

    Can be used as based custom for paul Phoenix

    @Victor-mc1sz Před 2 lety +2

    Have no interest in the character, but I still got him for fodder. I already have plans for the head and as for the body- possibly used as inmate version of a villain.

    This is the only x-men character that I have in my collection. I'm going to collect that new vhs animated style x-men and I think this figure will stand well with those.

    The head, arms and feet are perfect for customs, IMO

      I picked up an extra thinking exactly the same thing. One HUGE thing that I haven't seen enough credit given is that these shoulders hide the internal joint. That's a big step up for Hasbro. I do really like the new sculpt for the shirt, we've been needing a Tshirt sculpt. Having the neck on a separate piece of plastic looks great and will allow for better kitbashing and repainting. My gripe with this figure is that the arms/shoulders don't pop out. I really wanted to be able to remove the arms and swap them with new Mr Fantastic lab coat arms, and use these well sculpted bare arms and shoulders with no visible shoulder disc hinge on other figures. I've heated them up with a hair dryer but I just can't get them out. I may have to crack the torso, but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. So all in all, I still like it, just not as much as I was expecting to. Thanks for your review Anthony.

      Body is perfect for some prisoners. Paint them orange with shading, pop on other heads, and instant loose prisoner army.

  • @EliteLegendToysandCollectibles

    I agree he should’ve had an alternate head.

  • @jesusdavidmartinezsilveyra3983

    Unpopular opinion, 90 percent of legends are garbage, if you ever want to sell them you'll see how much they are truly worth

    • @whozyourdaddy
      @whozyourdaddy Před 2 lety +3

      I agree with this. There's whole waves of ML where I don't buy a single figure. I'm so far into indie toy lines like Mythic Legions and Valaverse, that I hardly go toy hunting anymore.

    • @JayDayX116
      @JayDayX116 Před 2 lety +2

      I love seeing unpopular opinions that are just facts.

  • @benh.1591
    @benh.1591 Před 2 lety

    Oooph! That shading is tough on the eyes, it's like he's been rolling around in a puddle. I don't get it, is it that hard to program an industrial airbrush computer/robot? (assuming that is how it's done). Some fading would improve it.
    Not a huge fan of the face sculpt, they obviously went for the more heroic Legion instead of the lunatic that triggers the A.O.A. There is a resemblance to the ML Xavier facial sculpt, nice to see they did that.

  • @dtejada1988
    @dtejada1988 Před 2 lety

    Zup Anthony 😎👍🏼I kind of like it, but yeah the shading looks weird, but it’s a AOA !!! I welcome it😎

  • @Boosheshe
    @Boosheshe Před 2 lety

    In terms of the shading well its not a big deal for me. I think this is something subjective no judgment but overall I think it's okay. Maybe an extra head will make a big difference though 🤔

  • @Maverick5uk
    @Maverick5uk Před 2 lety

    Think we need a custom headsculpt for this guy.....along with the Iceman one you mentioned! Really bugs me they played it safe and did go full crazy.

  • @austindelarosagarcia5083

    I like the figure. He looks nice he's new, idk what it is but I love haw the figure looks

  • @Chadghostal
    @Chadghostal Před 2 lety

    the weird paint on his clothes is to replicate his cover appearance in x factor #109. Shame they didnt do it on the entire figure tho

  • @Lionsden99
    @Lionsden99 Před 2 lety

    I think the shading isn't as noticeable under normal lighting. Hadn't even noticed it until after watching your review.

  • @brenoferreiraferreira4409

    We need more paint but not badly applied.
    I agree with your critics, thanks for the review.
    P.S.The head sculpt is ridiculous, it looks like he has a glass eye or something.

  • @paulrippcord506

    My thoughts on Legion, knowing nothing about the character. Snap into a Slim Jim, OH YEEEEEAAAAAH!

    That's Gon from Hunter x Hunter!

  • @AlphaProto
    @AlphaProto Před 2 lety +1

    Yeah, the shading is odd. They only shaded the front of the figure.

  • @paulojoshuatanpj4243

  • @seawakstheprofessionalsnif6222

    You should take a look at the Batman movie because it’s really good

  • @TheMattTrakker
    @TheMattTrakker Před 2 lety

    They half assed the face sculpt, which sucks. If they'd put in the effort to make it look more like the box art I think that would have worked, but yeah, it just looks like he's awkwardly winking or something.

  • @thorgotem
    @thorgotem Před 2 lety

    I like the fig. Its ok. It's Legion so.

    I just dont have any interest in figures that are just humans in clothes. I want costumes and colors.

    The shading makes him look like he’s sweating.

  • @DanielTjomlid
    @DanielTjomlid Před 2 lety

    The shading just looks like he's sweating a ton. It looks terrible in my opinion

  • @nostalgiahero3139
    @nostalgiahero3139 Před 2 lety

    Idiotic shading & 2 facial expressions in 1 headsculpt...as a Legion fan I'm disappointed.

  • @JayDayX116
    @JayDayX116 Před 2 lety

    Personally, couldn't care less for this figure or character. The only thing I like is his stupid hair style cause it looks ridiculous.
