    Well said. Hasbro is lazy and easily Hasblows. Sucks that this was just a lazy reuse of odd choices. I am keeping my previous Hasbro Hobgoblin with the scale texture on the arms and legs. Great review and for highlighting the strong and weak parts of the figure!

    If they had at least given him his proper cape from the animated series, I would have been all over this figure, but I don't see the point since they didn't. They couldn't even be bothered to give him a better glider or even modify the glider for a figure stand. Not to mention they still haven't properly painted his eyes accurately either (though, the head is just off entirely). This figure is a joke and is only worth it if you missed out on the original release. I really hope Hasbro gives us a proper Romita Jr Hobby soon.

  • @DCMarvel2009
    @DCMarvel2009 2 года назад +4

    A good and honest review. I think as a TAS Hobgoblin representation, the figure has the right colors (and even smoothed out the scale mail), but we could’ve gotten a different head that was more like the classic ToyBiz head, and the glider would’ve benefited from more width for an “animated” Goblin Glider.
    Despite those criticisms, I’m still awaiting the figure since I missed out on the Space Venom Hobgoblin.
    Great review once again.

  • @samlopez5152
    @samlopez5152 2 года назад +4

    3:00 I think it’s supposed to be a reuse because the Hobgoblin suit is actually a remade Green Goblin suit after the late Norman Osborn. He became a villain just as scary as Osborn was. I both thing their costumes are better, but I think the better figure is The Hobgoblin because his face looks a lot scary (In a good way, of course.), and I just wish he came with more pumpkin bombs, a bag to store them, and goblin throwing knives that kind of resemble batarangs (Can someone tell me what they’re called?).

    Got this before retiring from collecting comics and action figures and also it's a replacement. Had to replace my old Hobgoblin figure from 2012. One of those broken beyond repair situations. I put it off and discovered this and decided it was a good time to call it. Thanks for the review and hope it stays up for years. Definitely a great character. I like how they made a lot of nods and foreshadowing in No Way Home with Ned.

    Very fair assessment of this figure. I was very disappointed when I saw the first release pictures of it and you have confirmed it. Very lazy and greedy by Hasbro as at minimum they should have given us a larger glider, more accurate head sculpt and cape.

  • @The_Platinum_Realist
    @The_Platinum_Realist 2 года назад

    I like this figure it’s not as detailed, but they were trying to make look like the cartoon. As for the cape looking tattered I guess they figured to go with that look since comic book artists have pretty much embraced the idea of the tattered look for Hobgoblin. Even some cases Roderick Kingsley has been given that look as Hobgoblin in recent issues. The problem I have is he can’t stay on the glider.

      Perhaps, but the McFarlane DC line is such dogshit anyway that I wouldn't drop a dime on them. Until McFarlane drops the Batman bonner and starts doing more obscure characters like Jonah Hex, Spectre, Quentin Turnbull, El Papagayo, Phantom Stranger on top of doing a proper Flash without bat ears and his entire rogues (with their proper weapons), I can never take his line seriously. Who the hell does a toy of Peacemaker and not pack his signature pistols with him?

    Honestly I don’t think it’s entirely fair to judge it this harsh. If this was a mainline release, I could understand, but the Retro waves are all tertiary waves; which reuse is to be expected in them. They’re ways to rerelease old characters or release new characters who aren’t much more than a recolor. I think the figure totally passes and the reuse is valid. They have to make money from tooling somewhere and tbh the retro waves are incredible ways to reuse old figure parts and still give us what we want, all while making back tooling money to give us better mainline releases.

    It’s an interesting redeco. The scaled arms for green goblin and hobgoblin are a little too busy for my taste so the normal arms do look nice, but to do that and then not give him a new headsculpt or a more correct cape, he looks like such a weird kitbash. The colors do pop though I must admit.
