Great review and great figure! Random nerdy point! Angel lost his blue skin in the mid 2000's after having his life drained by full on Tree Black Tom Cassidy, which triggered his healing abilities, turning him back to normal, and then a little after that he was able to go back and forth between Angel and Archangel, turning blue when he becomes Archangel of course...Angel is my favorite X-Man, obviously lol. So stoked to get my pre order shipped!
@@ActionFiggySkinny she may have at some point, I actually stopped reading consistently around the time the new Secret Wars started, but I do recall her helping him control his transformation with her powers.
The wings are what NECA should have done with their Gargoyles line. I am looking forward to this figure as he is going to go great on my Claremont shelves.
Actually, for a short while, he did have normal skin again. But then he was able to switch back and forth from angel to Archangel. Very short period. He then went back to blue skin. It was about mid-2000. Warren is in a tie with another of my favorite mutants (The other being Havok) Though Angel's ongoing story is one of the best written. Currently from what I see he is just Archangel again. I tried that recent dark X-Men mini. I was like oooowwww a team with Havok and Archangel. Sadly he is not with Betsy. Havok isn't with Polaris...But seems to be with Pryor. Anyway, I can't wait for this figure. Archangel in the Apocalypse wave is one of my favorites (though I would love a new version with no pegs. But still a amazing figure if not. I plan to display them both together.
first time view, i subbed.. great review of a figure i been begging for along time ... prolly right after banshee and rachel. is a great looking figure the only small gripe i have is the wings fold the wrong way....
Strange that Hasbro went with his “New Defenders” costume rather than the “X-Men” blue version or even the “Champions” (and later “X-Men”) red suit with the yellow gloves and boots. Personally, I’d have liked the red/white “X-Factor” costume. Regardless, I love the character. Just waiting on my preorder from BBTS…
I cancelled my order. 45 bucks is just too much. I remember ordering the excalibur 3 pack for 65 way back. I already have the archangel in my collection. Its time to save up for retirement
Can't wait for Hasbro to remake Archangel in that updated pinless buck. I'm sure they will. The deluxe Archangel fig that came out 4 or 5 years ago was real nice, but I'd love it in the updated buck with the photo-real.
Yes. People a have various ways of saying it. I understand that using the term "butterfly wings or joints " can be confusing when speaking on a winged character
Yoooo! How did you get him so fast??? Nice review! That 2nd head is goofy looking a/f though. 😂 p.s. Warren got some Michael Jordan hands fr! He ready to palm the ball and take it str8 to the hole! 😂
I stopped reading somewhere around the Death of Wolverine n fell off. Got back on when Hickman saved X-Men because it was getting baaaaad. The whole young Cable killing old Cable really annoyed me.
I wasnt reading during those years. Hickman brought me back. I also believe he was going back n forth between the Angel n Archangel personas? Didn't Psylocke have control over him too.. all bad ideas to me
@@ActionFiggySkinny Yes, at some point he could switch back and forth. As far as Psylocke controlling him, I don't know, and truth-be-told I didn't so much read as I scrolled through online copies and saw that he eventually got his natural skin color back, which was brought on by a healing factor that they gave him during that time. His blood apparently has healing properties that can also used by others.

I heard about this period.. Did Psylocke have control over his mind / him at one point too?
@@ActionFiggySkinny she may have at some point, I actually stopped reading consistently around the time the new Secret Wars started, but I do recall her helping him control his transformation with her powers.
About time! Been waiting for a good non robot angel forever now, I do prefer the blue version though.
When he had blue skin sometimes he used this and the blue suit, so maybe the other head but with blue face would've been a nice touch
The archangel figure had a blue unmasked head but it would have been cool to have a blue face masked one
It matches with Falcon comic version, btw thansk for the review!
Very nice review. This figure looks great. I can finally add it to my Dark Phoenix display.
Thank you! You're giving me ideas!!
Got mine yesterday. It is a really nice figure.
Cant wait for an updated arc angel!! Hopefully he comes with the closed wings too..
i hope you show us how to connect/attach the wings....
Mines showing up in a few days and this just got me even more hype
Angel, Logan, Goblin Queen: this whole video is a preview of my pile of loot right now at BBTS. 😁
The wings are what NECA should have done with their Gargoyles line.
I am looking forward to this figure as he is going to go great on my Claremont shelves.
I agree 💯 regarding the Gargoyle wings. I skipped that line because the wing span on Goliath was too crazy
Have both Toybiz variations but been wanting an upgrade/update for a looooong time!
You and me both
What a fantastic looking figure!
It really is!
Amazing work as always
My guy!! Thank you!
First time catching a video of yours. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!

Oh cool you plan on displaying then together?

Thanks for the sub!
Looks incredible and incredible review. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for watching
Fighy with the first review!!!!!!
Oh snap is it?
Looks like another nice figure from Hasbro Legends. Wolverine/Sabertooth and now Angel. Maybe Legends team is upping their game a bit?

Blue version will come later I'm sure! I really didn't like the yellow glove version of this.
I cancelled my order. 45 bucks is just too much. I remember ordering the excalibur 3 pack for 65 way back. I already have the archangel in my collection. Its time to save up for retirement
Had to pick between him and the Wolverine and Sabertooth two pack since both come out the same day. Chose the two pack and I was right to do so. 👍
I want it. I got arch angel. But I want this and/or the retro original from the original comics. Those wings 🪽 though!!!!
The wings are fiiiiiiire bro
Can't wait for Hasbro to remake Archangel in that updated pinless buck. I'm sure they will. The deluxe Archangel fig that came out 4 or 5 years ago was real nice, but I'd love it in the updated buck with the photo-real.
I hope they do it soon with him and Marvel girl in a 2 pack
Thanks for the review
No problem 👍
So he is on Vulcan mold, or not? Wings look really good
I THINK is the upper body is new mainly due to the giant peg holes in the back. Was probably built a to hold the wing / balance properly
@@ActionFiggySkinny Great, now about the faces, Are they painted the skin tone?, or The heads are skin tone plastic?
Howd you get it so early? Are hasbro pulse orders going through early?
You mean butterfly shoulders ??
Yes. People a have various ways of saying it. I understand that using the term "butterfly wings or joints " can be confusing when speaking on a winged character
looks so beautiful yet I think he was one of those X-Men that literally did nothing (besides turn evil)
😂😂😂🤣 you may be right..
Great vid!
Thank you for watching! Dropping another review tomorrow
Damn kinda making me wanna put a pre order in but I don’t need it if I see it though in person 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I don't think you ll need to pre order him if you haven't. He ll be around
Yoooo! How did you get him so fast???
Nice review! That 2nd head is goofy looking a/f though. 😂
p.s. Warren got some Michael Jordan hands fr! He ready to palm the ball and take it str8 to the hole! 😂
Lmao palm hands! Gonna do a pick of him palming a basketball 🏀
@@ActionFiggySkinny I'm here for it!
No size comparison with ML Archangel though?
Luv the little guy with the low followers to beat Shartimusprime with his 100,000s of followers....Good job 👏 👏
Thank you for watching! Shartimus is cool!
So I take it you don’t read modern X-Men comics because Angel switches between blue and white skin now.
I stopped reading somewhere around the Death of Wolverine n fell off. Got back on when Hickman saved X-Men because it was getting baaaaad. The whole young Cable killing old Cable really annoyed me.
@@ActionFiggySkinny I feel ya. I’m glad you came up in the RUclips algorithm. I like your reviews and channel.
Well I hope he doesn't get butterfly wings lol great review otherwise good thing we all knew you meant butterfly joints
😂😂 I'm glad you guys caught on. Thank you for watching
How?! How?! 😱
Cmdstore.ca
$45? And they couldn't mold proper boots so that it could have a boot cut that isn't ugly?
Pass. But thank you for showing it.
Thank you for watching. Boot cut comes off clean imo
No, he lost the blue skin during the early 00's.
I wasnt reading during those years. Hickman brought me back. I also believe he was going back n forth between the Angel n Archangel personas? Didn't Psylocke have control over him too.. all bad ideas to me
