OK I am VERY impressed with your knowledge of Marvel comics lore. Other figure reviewers pride themselves on NOT knowing anything about the source material of what they review, AND THAT IS F*CKING RIDICULOUS in the internet age. I appreciate that you have actually read the comics and can cite the key appearance issues. Marvel needs to do a better job of making their back catalog more easily available and AFFORDABLE for new generations of readers, or Marvel's lore will die with Generation X.
Seriously, thanks. I love watching other reviewers channels and they do a lot of things better than I do, but what I try to bring to the table - the thing that I think separates this channel from others - is just what you described - a passionate knowledge and respect for the history of these characters and figures - because that is where the power of nostalgia comes in - that is what keeps these from just being hunks of plastic. Thanks for noticing and commenting!
I love the enthusiasm for these awesome figures and comics. These are great. The cool thing about Spiral is you can't tell if the upper arms or lower arms are supposed to be the main two arms. The middle arms look great because of the one bionic arm, but they knocked her outta the park. I also like that Black Widow figure a lot. I have Daredevil and he's great, too, but my favorite DD is the toybiz maskless version that came with Kingpin in their face off pack.
I love my Secret Wars Dr Doom. So much toy history in that one figure, it truly kickstarted the implementation of toy designs within comics in order to increase market distribution to children. great video as always
Yup! #SecretWars DOOM ...... > It's such A powerful feeling figure. Plus the "All Evil Science Faced" bonus head! It's got that WoW factor, w/ nostalgia to boot. Thus Dr. Doom, along w/ D+ Red Skull & Ultimate Cap; even though Hasbro dropped the ball w/ Cap by not having A chin-strap on the second head sculpt, are my top _Legends_ of the year (Drax 2pk looks Killer as well, but I don't own it).
I don’t have a list thought out because it’s very hard for me lol. Green goblin has been my favorite this year, from no way home. You’re list is great though one I’ve seen and agree with most!
Your right, All the 2023 Moon Knight figures are total sleepers (including the Khonshu BaF). Good call! Along w/ D+ Red Skull, at minimal all the Sweet Moon Knight 🌙 _Legends_ deserve an honorable mention.
I think Spiral was a 2022 figure, depending on where you're located. My Marvel Legend of the year was Blob. I would have also included a figure from the X-Men '97 series, but everyone has a different favorite there.
Spiral is a fantastic figure! Black Widow is good, but c'mon, she's a femme fatale, she's supposed to have curves. But Hasbro gave her the body of a 12 year old.
I'm with you on most of your list, except for that Daredevil. They did Matt so dirty with those knees. I can handle a hyper articulated character not having butterfly joints, but those knees hurt my soul.
I have Hawkeye and am trying to get a Black Widow. Hawkeye is great, and I really hope I can get Black Widow because she looks incredible. The new Daredevil looks cool too. I may try to get him.
Great vid and awesome list! I'm almost agree with it. I will switch Fixit and Bucky Cap for the 5 pack Mockinbird and Tigra. And maybe Moondragon instead Egghead (I don't have him yet, many doubts but you sold it to me 😂). Another fav was Wonder Man with his safari jacket. Not a great body, but the head sculpt is top notch. Cheers 🎉
I don’t think that’s the hand that came with Hawkeye, he comes with generic gripping hands, in the classic C grip. No trigger fingers or anything, one of the major reasons he’s far from my top 10. His accessories are severely lacking.
Black Widow outside all the Fun extras- is OVERRATED AF. It has that sorry tween upper torso (Monet's would of been the proper upgrade). Plus Widow is practically the same figure as before, besides the wonky looking double-elbows & an abb cruch you'll never use. I do like your passion & list in general though (Spiral, Bucky Cap & Doom our polarizing). Outside of D+ Red Skull which is A really nice, figure. You might of missed 2pk Peter & The Blob... Also Ultimate Cap which is almot perfect (like SECRET WARS Doom A very powerful 'in hand' feeling figure). What about pick A Wolverine? The last 2 our my all time favs! And 97 Bishop & Mags our also the Best versions so far. A Strong year for _Legends_ all around I kind of think. & As A unit, All 4 of the Moon Knight releases could of used an honorable mention. Just A thought.. Anyhow, THANK YOU! And Your SECRET WARS _Mike Zeck_ figure recreation cover is Amazing. Classic colorful Marvel, well done Sir!
Appreciate the well thought out comments! Spidey gets his own list, so be on the look out for that one. I kinda think Monet would be too big for Widow. Those 97 X-Men are great, but I’m waiting on the cartoon to get too attached to
I almost disagree with every one your picks. Except for the model 1. Definitely the Thor destroyer two pack is the masterpiece of the year. Shmucks are paying 200$ for the giant piece of crap giant man crap 😂❤
The Destroyer is excellent, but I think I still prefer the Diamond Select version. I love that Thor, but a few lacking paint apps kept it off the list. My lists are always geared as much towards nostalgia as figure quality, but who would you add to the list!
@CarbonScoring nah I paid 38$ for the set. You can't beat that! + I didn't like that diamond select. And I never bought a thor before. Amazed by the waist engineering. Why hascrap doesn't do this for all😍✨️
My buy-of-the-year was the Thor/Destroyer 2-pack on clearance at Target for $17.99! Although you could argue the Skrull Queen/ Super Skrull was a better deal at $7.50 (!) again, Target clearance, but I enjoy the Thor set with the chunky characters more. Sometimes it really pays to play the long game if you want to chance it.
@@Lunzerland I paid 38$ for it and I consider that a steal too! This set is phenomenal. Some arguing that the diamond select is better. I don't think so. I've passed on that mess for years. This destroyer perfectly exemplifies both the comic design from the 60's and the stylistic side of hascrap that didn't take liberties with style. Just perfect.😛👍👀
I have also been collecting marvel legends since 2002 but I have sold a few figures throughout the years. So I do not have all of the figures from the toy biz era. And I have skipped a few comic book waves . I also happily skipped about half of the m-she-u waves. I have not enjoyed any Disney m-she-u movies so I am not going to line my shelves with figures I just do not like. And I have cherry-picked the comic book offerings. But at $26 to $30 per figure. I am cutting even further back on my buying. It will have to be a special figure for me to buy. It is not that I can not afford it but to justify it. Starting at $8 a figure to almost four times that amount. Nope. So enjoy your collection but i after 22 years am tapping out.

Nice list. One I would've added is Blob tho. Very unique, very well made and accurate.
Yeah, Blob is my #1

Those face off 2 packs were amazing - Cap in particular
we got egghead this year, Next year i’m hoping for a Big Wheel Haslab
LETS GOOOOOO!!!!
@@CarbonScoring You are a legend !!! Let’s keep our fingers crossed !!!
Love to see the Egghead love!!
Yeah baby!!! D-Listers Unite!
Couldn’t agree more about Spiral at #1.
She is impossible to beat
I love my Secret Wars Dr Doom. So much toy history in that one figure, it truly kickstarted the implementation of toy designs within comics in order to increase market distribution to children. great video as always
Thanks for watching and a thoughtful comment - I’m thinking of doing an entire series on Secret Wars in 2024
Yup! #SecretWars DOOM ......
> It's such A powerful feeling figure. Plus the "All Evil Science Faced" bonus head! It's got that WoW factor, w/ nostalgia to boot.

Great job bro. The only thing.....they should have given Molecule man a more villainous face sculpt.
I’d like Hasbro to push more facial expressions in general…
My top 10 Marvel Legends are 1. Extremis Iron Man, 2. Target exclusive Black Widow, 3. Safari Jacket Wonder Man 4. sky Cycle Hawkeye, 5. New comic Blade, 6. Astonishing X-MEN Cyclops, 7. Astonishing X-MEN Emma Frost, 8. Quantumania comic Ultron, 9. comic Yelena Belova, 10. Ultimate Captain America
Pretty great list - several of those were on my 1st half of the year list!
I would like to see a Top 10 but with females figures only since a lot of figures didn't make the cut, and you have such great commentary.
I do try to make sure the incredible female figures we have gotten get the spotlight they deserve - that is a great idea!
Dude, I love your review + history lesson format. New fan over here!
Welcome aboard! Wait til you see what I have coming up!
I was hyped to the extreme when they revealed the molecule man figure on pulse. I love the character and he really needed a an action figure version.
Huge for me too!
Its been a pretty solid year. So far my favorites are bucky cap and Andrew Garfield spidey
I’m gonna do a top 10 Spidey video in the coming weeks
@@CarbonScoring can't wait
You display is one you the best I’ve ever seen. Are your shelves custom made?
Yes, I designed them myself as the space is very asymmetrical- thank you for noticing!
I'm 64 and still get super excited about new Action Figures!!!!
That is great! Joy is never limited by age!
love the footage u add to these list videos. having u play with them and share their history is really engaging.
I don’t have a list thought out because it’s very hard for me lol. Green goblin has been my favorite this year, from no way home. You’re list is great though one I’ve seen and agree with most!
We need a movie with joe fixit
How wild would that be!?!?!?
My favorite is the new moon knight they put out in November.
Great figure, but kinda a straight rerelease from a previous great Moon Knight
Your right, All the 2023 Moon Knight figures are total sleepers (including the Khonshu BaF). Good call! Along w/ D+ Red Skull, at minimal all the Sweet Moon Knight 🌙 _Legends_ deserve an honorable mention.
Love hearing some more comic history injected into this video. Been missing that. When will we get another panels to plastic?
Maybe with a Turtles video?
I would put the Black Widow much higher but great list!
Sometimes, I gotta hook ya at number 10...
@@CarbonScoring haha fair enough.
Great list. Although l would prefer foot pegs on Hawkeyes scoot.
I hear ya, but he stays on pretty good without them
Hawkeye and Spiral are with out a doubt perfection
My number one is Hawkeye on the sky cycle but Wonder Man is a close second.
Love, love , love Wonder Man - was on my kid year list
I think Spiral was a 2022 figure, depending on where you're located. My Marvel Legend of the year was Blob. I would have also included a figure from the X-Men '97 series, but everyone has a different favorite there.
My top pics would be the Avengers 60th anniversary Black Widow, Hawkeye and Iron Man Model 1.
Now, only if I had them.
Spiral is a fantastic figure! Black Widow is good, but c'mon, she's a femme fatale, she's supposed to have curves. But Hasbro gave her the body of a 12 year old.
I disagree - I think she is still curvy but in a more athletic way
@@truespectros A 12 year old who's skinny with virtually no curves, ...is mutated?
Down bad
Top notch video as usual
Any way to get Sky Cycle Hawkeyes arm bands to stop moving? Love love the video!!
100%
Spiral #1
Yes!
I am surprised not to see Deadpool from the Deadpool and Bob 2-pack.
Ahhh - that was a good one!
I'm with you on most of your list, except for that Daredevil. They did Matt so dirty with those knees. I can handle a hyper articulated character not having butterfly joints, but those knees hurt my soul.
I have Hawkeye and am trying to get a Black Widow. Hawkeye is great, and I really hope I can get Black Widow because she looks incredible. The new Daredevil looks cool too. I may try to get him.
They are all outstanding figures
Personally I only have 3 of these figs. I passed on all the others you have ranked.
Which three do you have?
Try to be here on time and I love your videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Awwww! Welcome! Always great to have you!
great list
Glad you think so!
Great vid and awesome list!

Cheers 🎉
Good choice! I had Wonder Man in my mid-year list!
My big knock against Molecule Man is his size. I think he should have been scaled smaller.
I understand that, but holy cow! we still got a molecule man!
Interesting list, I like it.
Glad you enjoyed it. I try to highlight some less obvious choices
the last one really looks like six armed spider man or dopple ganger
I wish there were as good as that Spiral figure
My number 1 is Drax the Destroyer
Ahhhh - good call - great figure!
Good job
Hands down Green Goblin. 🎃
Mine is on the way - might just make the Spidey top 10 coming out in a couple of weeks…
Im happy for you
pls upload mystery box video again
Plenty more mystery boxes coming! I do like to mix it up some!
@@CarbonScoring can't wait🔥
I don’t think that’s the hand that came with Hawkeye, he comes with generic gripping hands, in the classic C grip. No trigger fingers or anything, one of the major reasons he’s far from my top 10. His accessories are severely lacking.
I’m not clever enough to switch them out - I’m pretty sure that is what came with mine - any other viewers out there have this problem?
Mine is also a C-grip like the promo shots. Might have been a running production change.@@CarbonScoring
No blade?
great figure - just didn’t make it for me
Where is the Clea figure she is terrific !!!
Thats very unfortunate i just looked and saw that it will be 3:37 am when this goes live so i wont be tuning in😢
No worries - you can watch anytime! Thanks for being a loyal viewer!!!
How your day
Going great! I hope yours is as well
yay
Hope you enjoyed it!
Ive been Watching Since

Where is Marvel Legends Cyborg Spider-Woman as best female action figure for 2023?
I get it, but I bet a dollar that she has a much bigger role in the sequel
No Green Goblin? Both animated and movie figures are better than everything but spiral on this list imo
This is comic list - Spidey gets his own list next week
@@CarbonScoring title was definitely misleading
No MCU characters?
Not for this list
Not trying to be that guy but Spiral was 2022 release
not for me!
Also, Today is my 19th birthday🎉 so can you please wish me a Happy Birthday? Thank you.
Happy birthday! I hope this is your best year yet! Plus, the best is yet to come!
