Adamantine, the Greek/Olympian counterpart to the Norse/ Asgardian Uru and the mythical metal from which the Earth-based Adamantium gets its name. In short, both metals are "unbreakable," but they aren't the same.
Hercules was a member of the Avengers back during the amazing 80s run which included the classic story where the Masters Of Evil invaded their mansion and beat Herc into a coma. That's probably still my favorite Avengers story line ever.
@@jonathanhampshire6856 Yup Zemo tore up Captain's mothers photo, and of course Rogers doesn't bend or break. But the heroes win, he breaks down and says that was the only photo he had of his mother left. Great stuff.
Whatup Sharty Primo! James Holiday beat me to it about Adamantine, but as far as Herc's height is concerned, he actually measures up to Thor near perfectly (Thor-6'6/Hercules-6'5). It's one of the few times Hasbro gets comparitive scale right.
Yeah it was annoying how they never really showed how tall he was in the comic books. Specifically The Avengers. They would always draw she-hulk dwarfing Hercules & Thor for that matter when she's only 2 inches taller the Herc & 1 inch taller than Thor.
The fact that you said Hercules is the little brother that Thor never had is funny because technically Hercules is Thor’s great nephew due to Thor’s mom being Gaea aka Earth itself.
A "champion" review, Shartimus. I have him as well. I'm so glad that I have him. I have to give it up to Hasbro on making this Hercules figure retro carded.
The Herc that got beaten nearly to death by the Masters of Evil ... I have the more recent one only thing I'd take from this one is the mace ... I mean it looks good but I don't need Herc in two very similar costumes.
This figure is amazing! Also Hercules is an inch shorter than Thor in the comics plus he has on saddles while Thor has boots. I think the scale is here is perfect.
Thor is Nordic & historically Nords are taller than people with Greek ancestry so Thor being a bit taller makes sense anatomically. Quick look online gave info that Thor is 6’6” & Herc is 6’5” so again, the height is right!
@@Papan01 Yeah. I myself don't really mind 7 inch scale figures. I can also see why you and a lot of people don't like the scale for that line. For me, as long as the figure looks like what it's supposed to look like in terms of sculpt, then I'm good. I'll be happy with it. Now, for the DC License going back to Mattel, I want that to happen. But, I think Mattel should wait a few more years.
I have the dark days Herc but not 2019. When this one was revealed my initial thought was a "pass." But after reading some 80s Avengers for my Spidey, FF, DD chronology run on Unlimited, I took a liking to this Herc costume. I agree that he is THE HERCULES figure and he's now on my radar.
My 2nd Favorite Charscter in comicdome! This Herc sculpt needed to be slightly bigger, broader shoulders and slightly thicker legs. More closely to the older TB version. Hercs about the same size as Thor(and made him almost tap-out in a fight in one story, and Herc was even DRUNK in that story...juss sayin'). 6:08...YUP! HERC FOR THE MCU!!!!💪
The speedo and limited hips kill it for me. Think I'll just wait for it to be on sale, then paint a green line on the upper medial part of the thighs (see the DCUC Etrigan for example) so the trousers won't look like swimwear.
You are the most luckiest person ever tell me where do you get your figures so fast not just big bad toy store I need to know more cause I’ve tried big bad toy store big apples dork toys everywhere plz let me know where you get them or just do these marvel legend company just sends them too you plz let me know
Great looking figure. This is the version I wanted. Beefier thighs than the last one. This looks more in proportion. slight gripe, I know he's supposed to be maybe an inch shorter than Thor but this and the last release look a little too short to me. Would've been great if he came with relaxed pose hands and maybe if his trunks came a little lower on the upper leg.
I'm not digging the scale. Herc's gotten smaller and smaller with each release lol. He should be taller and stockier than Thor. I would prefer him an a Wrecking Crew size. Other than that, the figure looks amazing.
In what comic or animated series have you seen Herc as being Hulk sized? You're in the minority here with that mindset. Thor is 6'6, Hercules is 6'5. Hasbro nailed the scale!
I'm really glad to have a good classic Hercules, but ultimately I still prefer the modern Hercules from 2019. What I really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY want is Marvel Legends versions of all the OTHER Olympians. Or AT LEAST the main 12 Olympians of the Dodecatheon - Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Athena, Hera, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus, Hestia, Artemis, Apollo, Demeter, and Dionysus. (We already have Ares, and Hercules isn't a member of the Dodecatheon.....and for technical, fiddly, "mythology" reasons there are more than 12 members of the "12 Olympians"... 🤷♂️) They'd be SUCH a badass looking set on a shelf... Also, the Greek monsters - Gorgons, a real Hydra, a Cyclops, Pegasus (especially since we desperately need Pegasii as mounts for Valkyrie and Black Knight...), Cerberus, Centaur (Chiron?), Minotaur, Satyr, Chimera, etc etc etc etc etc etc.... Greek Mythology is FULL of stuff that's more badass than tons of Marvel stuff. .....and it's ALL canon to Marvel.... It'd be INCREDIBLE to get it in Marvel Legends. You could NEVER convince me that people wouldn't want a rad AF Lernaean Hydra BAF. Or Hades, God Of The Underworld, and his massive 3-headed Cerberus. Or Thanatos, the God Of Death
@@tombowling8646 Angela got the classic treatment. Magik was 100%... Magik. Lady D has her collar-to-crotch v-neck. Tigra has a painted-on bikini bottom that's *thinner than the plastic of her crotch piece*. Where's the double standard?

The scale between Hercules and thor is perfect :) Hercules is 6'5" and thor is 6'6"
Hercules is so wicked this figure is so cool
I really like this figure. And even if you have the Hercules from 2019, you can sort of fudge that older one into a Guardians of the Galaxy display.
Wish he had something other that those green shorts.. jIf you look closely 👀you can see his buldge.
Love the 2019 Hercules but I'm a sucker for classic figures so I preordered this one.
Hercules was a member of the Avengers back during the amazing 80s run which included the classic story where the Masters Of Evil invaded their mansion and beat Herc into a coma. That's probably still my favorite Avengers story line ever.
And was it Baron Zemo who destroyed a photo of Cap's mum?
Even while drunk it took most of the Masters of Evil to beat him.
He was a member since the mid-60s, as one of the first new member to join after Cap's Kooky Quartet.
@@jonathanhampshire6856 Yup Zemo tore up Captain's mothers photo, and of course Rogers doesn't bend or break. But the heroes win, he breaks down and says that was the only photo he had of his mother left. Great stuff.
@@foldabotZ yes Hawkeye, Quick Silver Scarlet Witch.
What I don't get is why'd they give him a hairy upper body but smooth shaved legs?
Greek Maiden: Hercules the cyclops ripped my clothes off!
Hercules: Ha ha ha ha!
Man, this looks great. If the MCU gets back into the swing of things, Gerard Butler would be a great Hercules.
Whoa
Great Choice.
Gerard Butler would be absolutely perfect. Only problem is I believe he is over 50 now.
Gerard Butler with the body of Cavill👌🏻
@@drepi538 15 years ago maybe.
“Who put the glad in gladiator?”
When are they gonna make old school WONDERMAN? He's got tons of old Costumes!!! Plus he has that IONIC FORM too!!
i would imagine Henry Cavill as Marvel's Hercules
Saw a rumor of him being considered for Captain Britain once.
@@toddtaylor6506 oh yeah I’ve heard of that
Henry Cavill should be either Hercules or Sentry 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Or, Gerard Butler. That's who I thought of when I first saw the face sculpt for the ML Hercules from a few years ago.
Perfect choice !!
I'm getting this figure to customize as a marvel legends Conan!
Great idea bro
Man, dont know about everyone else, but I do miss the stop motions...
We all do 🥲
No size comparison with his brother Aries?

hey do you have any advise for us just new to youtube and just any advise about stop motion

Where is the skirt? The classic Hercules comic version wears a skirt.
I thought Hercules was kind of big he looks kind of small compared to Thor
Hercules is so dope😎🔥
I want them to use this buck for a retro carded Lou Ferrigno Hulk
This is a great figure , and goes well with the original and modern day Hercules
needed this for sure! i liek all the herculues even they orange one. back in the day i think he was my fav from that wave lol
Just got mine today- This is THEE 1.
I'm still waiting on pre-orders at BBTS. The only figure in my POL is Sandman. 🙄
Why do other people get Hercules early? Mine is supposed to arrive in December from BBTS.
Same with me. Plus my nearest walmarts and targets suck and never get marvel legends early. So I have to wait.
@@GameTime-yj6qv I don't have a Walmart where I live. The nearest Target is a very small one.
Alternate hair pieces should be a standard for MLs especially for figures with longer hair. One for vanilla and one for action poses.
Why no mezco conan review?
How does this figure scale with Masterverse figures?
Hercules shaves his legs lol.
Super underrated figure
man that mold would make such a nice Superman....Too bad we are stuck with McFarlane
If only Todd would put his focus on articulation, and other DC Characters that aren't related to the Bat Family.
@@Kal_g Even then they would be giant and out of scale with standard 1/12 figures. better to just go back to mattel

BADASS just got him today in the wild.
what is this figure that appears at the beginning with a brown coat and sideburns?
Can we get a comparison with Ares?
Cool figure!
I am getting that same Hercules figure soon
Nice Marvel Legends Hercules, I'm glad I never bought the older "new" version of this character.
Thanks for the review Shartimus.
I have the dark days Herc but not 2019. When this one was revealed my initial thought was a "pass." But after reading some 80s Avengers for my Spidey, FF, DD chronology run on Unlimited, I took a liking to this Herc costume. I agree that he is THE HERCULES figure and he's now on my radar.
Thor love and thunder post credits ,brett goldstein
So is it too late to pre order Galactus? I finally got some money but can’t find the pre order button….
I just have one question Shartimus… does this replace the old one from your avengers shelf?
Thanks - now I can remove the Hercbun on my earlier one as well. If I were you I'd keep your Toybiz until Herc gets his skirt and leg straps back
We need a conan the barbarian figure.
I prefer the modern suit, but this looks great for the character
I just might pick this one up.
Hercules is from Roman mythology. The Greek equivalent is Heracles.
My 2nd Favorite Charscter in comicdome! This Herc sculpt needed to be slightly bigger, broader shoulders and slightly thicker legs. More closely to the older TB version.

Awesome review 👊🏽🦾
I got the previous one. This one is too naked for me, though this was his look when I first started reading Avengers in 86.
Looks too muck like green chonies, than green trunks as pictured on the card.
Hercules got some long finger toes
Starting the hashtag TigraToes here #TigraToes
Cool figure ,.mine is on its way. Who could play Hercules in the MCU?
For me, it would be Gerard Butler. If you look at his performance in "300", he would be a nice fit for this character.
@@Kal_g yeah, it would be freaking awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Keanu
The speedo and limited hips kill it for me. Think I'll just wait for it to be on sale, then paint a green line on the upper medial part of the thighs (see the DCUC Etrigan for example) so the trousers won't look like swimwear.
The speedo is my biggest problem with him too, they most definitely should have painted the upper thighs
Great Hercules Figure :)
I got him and he is the best
Awesome
Do from the New finger from batman the New adventures please
2019
Great figure.

Hercules or Heracles in Greek, is of Olympia, not Asgard.
Great looking figure. This is the version I wanted. Beefier thighs than the last one. This looks more in proportion.
slight gripe, I know he's supposed to be maybe an inch shorter than Thor but this and the last release look a little too short to me.
Would've been great if he came with relaxed pose hands and maybe if his trunks came a little lower on the upper leg.
What’s good
1:52 when was Thor based off of Greek gods 💀💀💀
‘Greek god from Norse mythology’
I'm not digging the scale. Herc's gotten smaller and smaller with each release lol. He should be taller and stockier than Thor. I would prefer him an a Wrecking Crew size. Other than that, the figure looks amazing.
Hercules is shorter than Thor in the comics and this figure is every bit as tall as the previous Hercules.
You gotta start reading your comics. Hercules is an inch shorter than thor and half the weight of thor.
In what comic or animated series have you seen Herc as being Hulk sized? You're in the minority here with that mindset. Thor is 6'6, Hercules is 6'5. Hasbro nailed the scale!
@@eduardolamboy4776 he's one of those fake fan boys lol

.....and it's ALL canon to Marvel....
It'd be INCREDIBLE to get it in Marvel Legends.
You could NEVER convince me that people wouldn't want a rad AF Lernaean Hydra BAF.
Or Hades, God Of The Underworld, and his massive 3-headed Cerberus.
Or Thanatos, the God Of Death
Idk why but I feel he looks too small
Like I feel he should be much more buff yknow?
Thor is Norse you said he was greek lol
My only complaint with this figure is that apparently Herc shaves his legs.
Nice
To be fair in lore Thor is 6'6 and Hercules is 6'5 so honestly it's more accurate that way
Thor isn’t a Greek god, he’s a Norse god from Viking mythology
What’s up
Ya know real herakles was defeated by Khalid another Hercules jonk😂
Bro really said thors based off the Greek god from Norse mythology 💀💀
Nerdy professor 😂 Hercules Hercules
👍🏿👍🏿
Why are Hercules toes gross?
They can give us Hercules in his traditional outfit but we can't get a Sue Storm in her 90's open '4' outfit. I call double standard BS.
you mean the design that unanimously sucks?
... yeeaaaa, sure man.
I'm not sure *anyone* wants that -- even the horniest of us.
@@Avelcaine, I don't really want it either. I just don't like double standards and we seem to be getting a lot of that these days.

Hercules is a great character, but his costumes haven’t always been the best.
