    ShartimusPrime Biography:
    Inspired by watching boring Transformers action figure reviews, the ShartimusPrime youtube channel was launched in 2008. Engaging the audience with an edgy sense of humor for adult collectors, action figure collecting has never been this fun, and videos are posted daily! Unexpectedly, the channel became more popular for Marvel Legends reviews and Spider-Man, Avengers, and X-Men collection display videos. After a few years, the channel has branched out to review other figure properties aside from Marvel Legends and G1 Transformers Masterpiece. Hot Toys, Star Wars, Diamond Select Toys, DC Collectibles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragon Ball Z, Attack on Titan, Godzilla, Evil Dead, and The Walking Dead toy lines have all been added to the roster of nearly 2,000 video reviews. Japanese import figures from SH Figuarts, Bandai, Figma, Square Enix, and Medicom MAFEX have been favorites as well. More recently, Kotobukiya Statues (including the very sexy Bishoujo line) and NECA Toys have become more prevalent on the channel. Being a big fan of movies such as Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, Evil Dead, Pacific Rim, Aliens, and other films has lead the channel in the direction of also reviewing movies, movie trailers, blu ray releases, and tv shows. News updates for 2016 releases and beyond are also posted. Audience engagement is a big part of this channel, with giveaways and fan mail being read publicly once a week in the PO Box Pick-Up videos. Impressive “Shart-Art” is shared via social media and included in the opening theme song. The audience is also kept up to date with any changes to the channel, along with recent comic book pick-ups, unboxings, and action figure hauls. Stop-motion segments punishing the popular meme of the Big Time Let Down Spider-Man close most of the comparison segments, and are compiled together for guaranteed access to patrons. Lastly, all figure reviews close with a slideshow featuring dynamic poses of the figure inspired by ACBA, with the added bonus of music performed and recorded by ShartimusPrime himself.

    This works as either hank or Scott. Theyre both the same height, weight, skin tone, eye color, and wear the same classic costume. Only difference between the 2 is their hair color, which doesnt matter with this figure because you cant even see the head.

      Got mine on Memorial Day and when I got home and opened it, it was a Ghost Buster’s figure. I went back and got my refund and went a grabbed another one. I told the guy at the electronics register to wait, so I could open it and make sure it was the right figure. Luckily it was, because it was the last one left. 😂😂😂

    I fall into the "needed a decent Ant-Man for the collection" category, but price aside I'm actually pretty happy with the figure. Looks good with the rest of my classic Avengers.

  • @Do0msday
    @Do0msday Před rokem +18

    I actually like this figure. It has some issues -- mainly the lack of accessories/head and the price. $25 may not sound astronomical, but it adds up. There's nothing "special" about this figure to justify the price although if someone needs an Ant-Man figure for their collection this wouldn't be a terrible one to fill that spot. This could have been a lot worse, but also could have been a lot better.

    • @braydenpage1808

      I feel the same way. I needed an Ant-Man for my Avengers so I was ok with buying it. But he badly needs more accessories. The reused body doesn't bother me because it's the same color on both sides of the arms and legs, so pins don't bother me here. And that head sculpt is Pretty awesome. Overall I think is a good figure, but yes, it could've been so much better.

    Unless you're wearing the most powerful nostalgia goggles ever made, this Ant-Man absolutely BLOWS the old Toybiz Ant-Man out of the water. As somebody who was collecting during the Toybiz days, I think it's almost embarrassing the way certain members of our community still blindly praise Toybiz while ignoring the awful proportions, ball shoulder and hip joints, and sloppy paint jobs. But hey, some people will do anything to bash Hasbro lol (which I find funny since there are already a lot of legitimate and valid reasons to bash Hasbro to begin with, meaning there's no need to lie and find ways do so in bad faith)

    This is far and away the best comic book Ant Man figure we've ever gotten. I much prefer the classic design, and this one delivers. The garbage "vintage" version we got a few years ago was really lazy, too skinny, and had a completely inaccurate helmet (bent antennae?). I agree that an alternate head would have added value, but overall I'm VERY happy with this release.

  • @sammysstopmotionoas2004

    The figure is very good and I want it, but for 27.99 with only a 2nd pair of interchangeable hands, it's a hard pill to swallow. Had he came with a mini antman, the splayed out wall crawling hands from spidey so he can get into some good dynamic poses, an unhelmeted head, and an additional helmet that he can work on, along with some tool gripping hands, then the price would be more justifiable, like the upcoming super poseable black widow and the excellent tracksuit mafia figure.

    @brentwerley6762 Před rokem

    Hasbro's a business, that needs to be in the black. How much in the black is relative of course. That said, a figure like this requires a sales projection: a GREAT upgrade that is relatively more inexpensive for them to produce, and even if it were cheaper in cost, would that many more people pick it up? I'm not in the business to evaluate such thing. I do like the West Coast Hank Pym being out there as well: I'm glad Hasbro more recently appears to be emphasizing the vintage brainiacs of Marvel.

    I'm so conflicted with this figure, on one hand I would like an Ant-Man for the display since I have Wasp but on the other I don't agree with the price, exclusivity, the body choice, the lack of accessories, I'm not the biggest Ant-Man fan period and aftermarket prices are ridiculous, this guy is nowhere near 40$, I got a Joytoys Warhammer Space Marine for 40 and it dumps all over Marvel Legends. This is definitely one I'm gonna wait for but this guy could have easily been in a wave or something.

    I think this is technically a good figure but at this price point and what we get is insulting. That same thing can be said about every Marvel Legend released in the past year or two.
