- A disappointingly lazy case of reuse for a fan favorite villain. Hobgoblin is a total waste of plastic!

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!
Agree would love to get my hands on 1st release hobs but missed out. Hasbro getting lazy
they made this figure the way it is because it’s based off the 90’s show and the suit came out flat like it is in this
@@yospiderz1574 Yes the colors are spot on. That's the redeeming factor of the figure
I hate the articulation on these crappy toys. It just moves like shit and they keep doing it over and over again.
@@yospiderz1574 Most collectors dont understand what they are getting these days, they just buy to buy & if doesnt look like the comic version even tho its not supposed to be they will complain!
In wasn’t sure about this one, but now, I want it more!
I want it less lol
@@Markbro101 actually, yes I prefer the previus one, but since I dont have that one, gotta settle with this one :(, not even boots on this hobgoblin, cheap hasbro.
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.
I’m so excited by this wave. Since first retro Spider-Man release I’ve been waiting for a retro Shocker and they been killing this line.
Love your videos man. I found your channel when you posted a review on the retro Ben Reilly. And I loved the review plus Ben is my favorite Spider-Man. Can’t wait to see the shocker review.
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.
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?).
The pumpkin Knife bombs Are called razor bats
I cancel the Ben Really for this one, bad choise 😔
An appreciated, honest review of Hobgoblin and his accessories!
Just recently found your channel you are a good reviewer love your channel keep up the good work 😁
Can't wait for this Wave! So EXCITED for Hobgoblin & Shocker.
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.
I don’t have a hobgoblin figure, and I think this looks great, I just wish they would have given him his pupils and the lines on his masks eyebrows like in the cartoon since he’s supposed to be based on it and an undamaged cape
My man very very well done! So much detail that you went into.
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.
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.
He could be better but not bad. Happy to get the chance to get him! Shocker for me was a disappointment. I don't want to have to fill in his black lines he should come that way.
How do you know when new toys are coming out like this???
I really love your reviews!!!!
I understand your opinion on the figure. I’m gonna pick him up because I don’t have a hobgoblin in my collection.
Since the Space Venom wave barely showed up in my area. I was able to get the Miles and Silk and that was it. That's one reason got this guy.
Wondering if can find something to make the bat wing blades (batarangs) he uses.
Been a long time since saw the show but that is the main thing I noticed is the color palette was a good match.
Yeah this guy does not hold up when you show the pics of the old one
I always wanted this action figure when I was a kid in Kazakhstan. Now I’m 24 years old living in UK. Let’s make the dream happen
Would you ever consider doing reviews of old toys? I wouldn’t mind seeing one of that toy biz goblin lol
Unfortunately I didn't have any other hobgoblin figure so I just got this one.
The lack of a stand is mind boggling and lack of detailing is disappointing.
If I manage to track down a better hobgoblin figure I'll be giving this one to a charity shop.
The only reason I bought this is to use the hood and cape on my Space Venom BAF Series Hobgoblin lol
I was rewatching the animated series and the gold part in the belt is accurate
Just gonna get this just because i dont have a actual hob goblin( i have demo goblin so i want the original) might buy another classic green goblin and re painting it to customize on this hobgoblin
I use the vintage glider from the 90s hobgoblin figure for my marvel legends green goblin and have another ready to go for this guy!
Dayyyyyyy-um. So i think you're saying you weren't feeling him.
He's ok. Previous was more menacing.
But I still like him. Still want his plain look on my shelf. Lol
Definitely should have a non tattered cape
honestly i really like it. i didnt have the last one since it cost so much. this will make for a nice addition.
As a "1995 Fleer Ultra trading card" Hobgoblin, he's very close to spot on; As an animated series Hobgoblin, big oof... Lazy Hasbro... I'll take two.
I’ll probably repaint it to help the details stand out
I like the figure. Also you can just put his satchel on from the feet up like a pair of over-alls. Saves from popping the head off
That works for people putting on their bags too 🤣
funny how each one has their priorities: For having lost the previous one, this Hobgoblin is my Top 1 of this wave!
Green Goblin is executed better, but I'll get this because I wasn't able to get the previous version. Not too upset since I ordered it using a Black Friday sale.
Smart move!
I’m gonna try and turn mines in to carrion when I get it only problem I see in him is him smiling
I don't think it's lazy there known to use the same buck, I see what they were going for. I like the bright colors I think it will pop on the shelf. But I'm ok with the newer Hobgoblin. I still think Hasbro did ok with this.👍
2:55 Backward Bucky-Cap shoulders again; Sunspot, Pirate Deadpool, Fantomex, Phage, HoX Cyclops, Nova, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, and now Hobgoblin.
This might be the way forward ironically...
I like him a lot, think it is a cost problem, new fig´s are always in charge with reused parts, to get a whole wave together. Last two years where great with new sculpts, but give Hasbro a lil bit of time, soon, we will see so much good sculpts.
They could have at least given him a non-torn cape and painted the eyes properly.
I’m not sure since I see other companies like the McFarlane dc line give new sculpts almost every wave and I’m sure hasbro, a company worth over a billion dollars, can do more since they sell for more but I think they are just lazy
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?
@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork I don’t like the DC line either but just saying hasbro can do a lot better since they price higher. Also McFarland can’t have guns with their toys so they suck even more lol
No cost problem lol. Hasbro is out of time every figure should be a knock out the park. This isn’t it. Mcfarlane gets criticized a lot which is should but at least they give us new sculpts 95 percent of the time.
Would you recommend this to someone who doesn’t own any Hobgoblin figures? The other ones are very pricey making this the cheapest option.
I wouldn't. But collectors will buy it anyway, so it's a bitter taste in the mouth, that Hasbro has made this with very little thought and consideration
@@xcorpeo Ill probably just wait for a better release then, I do have that really old one where he looks like an actual demon. I believe Spiderman Classics line?
Hmm figure isn't that bad, could be improved with a dark wash, however the scale of that glider is just insulting!
Thanks for the heads up. Passing on this one then.
Great review! Hasbro being lazy as hell with this figure :/
The ToyBiz and previous Hasbro release is more comic accurate, I feel the comparison is kind of unfair since this one is going for a toy/cartoon look.
Thanks for that. I was on the fence if I should get this since I haven't been able to fetch the other one but decided to wait until I get the chance to buy the much better older one...
They should’ve made a double glider like in the show
I do think it’d be nicer with the scales from Green Goblin. It is nice though. I must admit that the face sculpt is awful. The hood could have been better.
The blue is off compared to the cartoon too
I think I like the colors on this one more, but it's missing the scalemail arms and legs so I think I'm preferring the original release more.
I’m going to preorder mine soon
I’m so happy you showed the ToyBiz Hobgoblin. I funnily enough picked it up this year and is one of my favorite figures of all time. It was a grail for so long and it is 110% better than this new one
What bothers me the most is the small glider
I canceled mine. Have a Hobgoblin head from the older one I am going to make a custom one using a spare Black Knight body. I just hope to get a remade Lizard out of this with a head from the Animated series not looking like a Raptor from Jurassic Park.
Great review and advice! Will stick to my superior Toybiz version.
I don't have any other Hobgoblin. They know people will buy these just to get a Hobgoblin. Not to mention the Scalpers are pre-ordering them all. Because of how much the first one is selling for.
That's exactly why I'm getting it. There's no denying this figure is a lazy re-release and far inferior, but I still want a hobgoblin in my collection so I guess I'll settle with this for now.
what grates me more is that Hasbro knows how rare the previous one is, and will still push out this low-budget attempt because it will sell out anyway. it's insulting to the fan base
@@xcorpeo oh yeah.
Biggest complaint is the glider. I can let everything else slide, but that glider seems so tiny! What a shame.
Just found one at WALMART YEEEEA
Thanks for the review! Your honesty is refreshing!
Getting this because i was not able to get the original release
I still love my toybiz version the best!
Glider looks like a skateboard ..
The truth looks cool when they export them to Mexico
This is why I'm not buying this one I'll keep my demoglobin baf way better imo
If someone is looking for a 2006 Toybiz Hobgoblin let me know! I have a couple to sell
Think I need the toy box one now
You biz
Tbh I love this figure wave, I pre ordered Symbiote Spider-Man and Ben Riley. I just. I just really don’t like this Hobgoblin figure
Nahhh dude he’s fine, he’s not perfect but he’s not terrible lol
Finaly men thanks i love you
Un poco decepcionado por la figura, gustó mucho de la serie animada de los 90s y está figura no cumple los requisitos para ser tomada en cuenta dentro de esta colección, más bien tengo la figura de toy biz que ofrece mejor detalle y calidad. Saludos desde La Paz Bolivia, exitos buena revisión, el 👎 es por la figura 😬
deberías obtener el original de Marvel Legend, se ve mucho mejor, también lo siento si suena raro cuando te hablo, estoy usando Google Translate jajaja😅
Yeah a failed attempt at an animated series hobgoblin, the blue is also wrong.
Lol I see figures coming out except for the one I want. 😭 and what's more sad is mafex and sh arts are always delaying shit
Toy Biz' still the better one imo
shocker last
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.
Do you people not realize these are not supposed to be 100% accurate to the animated series? Mysterio and Sandman should have been a dead giveaway on that
No.
@@hulksmash8159 👍
Then what are the toys design suppose to be based on
@@drwho9319 um, the comics. 🙄
Seriously...did the Mysterio figure not give it away that this are just on the retro carded backs and are not meant to be 100% accurate to the animated series? Sandman wasn't even in the series. Shocker has a comic book styled belt. I could keep going. The Spider armor is based off the game.
@@adams6473 so then they should use a comic accurate card back, not based off of the 90s animated series. It’s very misleading. Figure looks nothing like the image on the card 💀
So everything reused but at a higher price point…….nice 😒
Yeah the original one is better .-.
Look at all the cheapskates trying their best to justify this figure just because they don’t wanna shell out for the superior version. I’ll take the old version over the new one any day.
Such a lazy shit , shame hasbro , shame
Glad I stopped supporting hasbro. They suck. Neca and sh figuarts are the best.
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.
