I think since the old version of Beast was pretty expensive on the after market, this one is a good opportunity for people that missed out on that release. The figure looks pretty good IMO and works well for an X-men comic display, which is what I’m going for
The gray beast is still the best version that they've made. He gets good looking shading all over, plus the claws, plus extra accessories. I prefer this blue version to the caliban wave figure because the shading on the original version was just too much, and the faces are painted much cleaner on this guy. Mine has the obliques that are not at all the same color. The original blue figure had those parts molded in the fur blue, and they painted the trunks. This one has the parts molded in the trunks color and they painted the fur. I don't think method is better than the other, as long as you match the colors!
The coat is pretty fantastic for a Marvel Legends figure. To me it brings the accessories up to a higher rating, although the glasses just kind of "sitting" there is agreeably junk. Some more shading would be nice, the purpley-blue looks gorgeous.
Despite it's flaws I still think this is the best beast figure so far. And once again Thank you for your honesty you really save my money sometimes lol. So I'm really looking forward to see your review on the new animates series cyclops because it's either going to be mafex or that figure for me.
I do like the shade of blue on this Beast more than the prior one. If you do make more of the cartoon heads I'd probably be interested as I don't have faith in Hasbro doing a proper toon Beast. And if they do, I'm sure it will just be this one with pupils added to the eyes along with some half-assed cel-shading.
Best Beast. Not animated inspired, Jim Lee inspired. I don’t care for the animated series Beast, but this head sculpt and lack of dark shading are perfect. He’s one of my favorite characters ever and I’ve skipped every figure of beast since the toybiz days (I do own a marvel now beast kotobukiya statue) but I bought this figure and love it.
I don't think Hasbro would make this figure to replace the old one, more so to get the character back out there since the 1st one is double its price. For someone like me who missed on the first Beast, this is very appreciated.
I really like the new one's shading more, even though it's objectively less paint. The old one's shading was just... illogical. So random and actually distracts from the aesthetics. The new one''s overall color is way better imo. The shadows cast by the fur sculpt gives it enough of a "shading" I'm ok with it. Haven't picked up the new Beast, but definitely going to do so now. PS: They've both flasks I believe. Beaker is basically a glass cup, straight up and down with no neck.
I missed the caliban wave release so I'm super happy with this one. If I had the previous one I might still get it, for the heads and personally liking more the shade of blue
My favorite beast figure is from toy biz marvel legends line because of the darker blue black shading look, my favorite beast design is the animated series of course.
I missed out on the last Beast, so I'm gonna go for this guy. The pros outweigh the cons for me. I think I'm gonna start piecemealing together an X-Men collection using your reviews as a point of reference. Here's hoping for some great X-Men figures throughout the year.
I missed out on the original blue beast so this is my only option unless you count dark beast. I can accept not having peg holes for the original head, but not having holes for the new one is just sloppy. Especially when there's a perfect place to out them made easy by the hair and head being separate pieces. I don't want to but I'm half inclined to take a drill to him. I've seen other people glue.
I wasn't happy about how quickly the Calliban wave Beast shot up in price so I waited for Grey Beast to come around then bought one and painted it myself. I was happy until at one point, I realized the paint wasn't reacting well to some of the softer plastic over time (hands, feet and joints), so now he's tacky and tough to move. I didn't want to have to buy a Beast that was nearly the same price as the aftermarket one (every store where I live has him at $45-48 USD) but with the accessories, I might get him before he, too, costs more than double.
Oh my God! This sent me back to the days of anxiously refreshing Amazon pages waiting for the restock and hoping to pre-order the Caliban Beast for $19.99 Ah, the good ole' days...
The last two frames are... 😂 Thanks for this. I think I'll grab solely because it might be cheaper than the original now. But completely agree with you.
They took away stuff and gave u less stuff not needed and less paint used etc, Hey and u get to pay top dollar for em now. Miss days u get a comic book, a diorama piece maybe, great accessory, and the figure with the plastic packaging container all for $10 or under. And this one doesn’t even change the articulation from past versions cause it’s 100% same mold as past ones just different head sculpt, got to love the greed hasbro and companies and stupidity in us collectors like myself who still buy this and feed their beast. But yet I’m still getting him go figure
figure is a little better i guess. but damn at least have the ears out a little or have grooves for the glasses. either do it right or don't do it at all. i honestly rather just get custom accessories for the beast i already have.
They reused the same beakers from the retro Spider-Man Lizard. The glasses some had to putty in place. Sad. I like Anthony’s Beast head with the glasses better.
i wish the glasses were better but i like the stoic look head. Jim Lee (not animated) versions are what i look for in my collections and that is good so far. wasnt happy with the lack of book either..but meh.
Hey Anthony, your custom Beast head is BEAUTIFUL. PLEASE make another batch of those. PLZ! Also, I just want to make sure Venom feet away still on the way? I know you said you got a lot of orders for them.
to answer your question of the day. my favorite Beast is animated series/X3 movie/ marvel anime xmen. i don't care what anyone says. X3 is still the better X-Men movie compared to all of them together
I would get it, if it was the old price. I missed out on the first blue one, only got the grey beast. But to pay more for terrible accessories and a so and so paintjob. I just can't consider it rn. One would hope the price increase meant a quality increase, but no such luck. Have to be very selective rn.
the marvel legends looks better, but the animated series have more character I think my fav version is from New xmen where beast is more feline and his uniform reminds disney's beast ball suit
Where did you get that custom head?? It looks amazing and just like The Animated Series! Okay I kept watching. Are you selling any more that are in the tone of this uncanny beast?
This one looks pretty nice but I’ll just stick with GrayBeast which btw cost me all of $12. brand new. Huzzah! Excelsior! Oh, my stars and gathers… I’m drunk. Bought some beer with the moneys I be saving since I rarely buy Hasbro figures these days. I do want that Mojo tho. Pls consider reviewing the PowerRangers X TMNT line? Thanks, Ant man.
You know I really wish that stick to the animated series and stop with the comic book references and really quit it with the cell shading. Otherwise not a bad looking Beast. Although I think his belt the ex on his belt. It's supposed to be more of A. Not a square honestly. I think it should be a little longer and social. The body, but that's just me. Maybe I'm spoiled by toy biz LOL. But still not a bad looking beast
I wish that I had seen this video before I bought it. I'm very disappointed with the accessories. As you state & show in this video the glasses look awful & will not attach to the head in any way. The tops of the ears are close to the head so there is no place to rest the arms of the glasses. Even if they did stay on the face, they look cheap with no frames around the lenses. The beaker & flask look ok but could be better & the hands don't hold them tight, they keep falling when my display case gets bumped a little. The lab coat is ok, but cheap & I may buy a custom made lab coat someday. I also wish one of the head sculpts had him smiling. It only has serious face or angry face. I love Beast best when he's happy & jovial.
Definitely no drop down hips. My thigh artic was super stiff so I warmed and pulled the legs off. It's a solid post for the hip, but it's sculpted with a downward bend in it to give him a bit more forward hip range.
@@KrackerJak Checked and the Caliban wave one definitely does. (check out ruclips.net/video/Z0Db-sukh2Y/видео.html ) Maybe they removed it for the retro one?
Thanks for the video AC. I have the GOAT so I am going to pass. However, if they were to produce a Beast wearing his Neil Adams-era I would consider purchasing it.
This is the best version of Beast by far in my opinion. The head sculpt is just perfect!
Yep, that's the way Jim Lee drew Beast's face.
Yeah 90s cartoon accurate 😆
I think since the old version of Beast was pretty expensive on the after market, this one is a good opportunity for people that missed out on that release. The figure looks pretty good IMO and works well for an X-men comic display, which is what I’m going for
Yes like me. I was waiting for re-release of a blue Beast
That hand stand pose at the end is so great. The lab coat makes it even more awesome. Great review!

Dark Beast has to be my favorite. Not just for the fact that i’m an aoa fan it’s mostly just looks wise i just find him to be way cooler

Astonishing X-Men cat-face beast is hands down my favorite look, but I may be biased because it was the first X-Men run I read
I didn't get the previous release so I might get this one. Those last pictures were great, it seems that Darwin got another lover.
I don't think Hasbro would make this figure to replace the old one, more so to get the character back out there since the 1st one is double its price.
For someone like me who missed on the first Beast, this is very appreciated.
I was hoping we'd finally get a smiling Hank head but alas here we are...
I'm all about the animated depiction of Beast.
I really like the new one's shading more, even though it's objectively less paint. The old one's shading was just... illogical. So random and actually distracts from the aesthetics.

I'll get this one, as I wasn't collecting ML when the original came out- but I'll wait for a decent price drop.
I am lolling at the ongoing saga of Darwin The Pervert

Beast and Darwin hold each other in the sunset on that one photo you took lol
No homophobic please 😆
Lets gooo beast is my favorite x man happy to see hes getting a rerelease.

Need to rec-spec those glasses haha.
This one is my favorite Beast
Thanks for reviewing it anyway
Packed up three...
Let's get a red version already!
Please please please make those heads. Awesome work.
I hate it when they make accessories like the glasses and don't end up fitting on the figures head! Smh, nice vid. ✌🏼
Your videos are tempting me to buy a Darwin figure 😂
figure is a little better i guess. but damn at least have the ears out a little or have grooves for the glasses. either do it right or don't do it at all. i honestly rather just get custom accessories for the beast i already have.
Your beast headsculpt looks amazing! Excellent review 😘💋💋❤️💯👏💕
Thanks
If I remember correctly glasses are always plural because they have 2 lenses. The same reason why we call them a pair of glasses.
I like this Retro carded Beast better. I was always annoyed by the black paint on the Caliban wave fig. Bonus is that alt head too.
Same here
They reused the same beakers from the retro Spider-Man Lizard. The glasses some had to putty in place. Sad. I like Anthony’s Beast head with the glasses better.
Hasbro had beast come thru lookin saucy I’m late but I need this in the collection
please let us know of a custom beast head on the old body! i would be interested.
i wish the glasses were better but i like the stoic look head. Jim Lee (not animated) versions are what i look for in my collections and that is good so far. wasnt happy with the lack of book either..but meh.
Hey Anthony, your custom Beast head is BEAUTIFUL. PLEASE make another batch of those. PLZ! Also, I just want to make sure Venom feet away still on the way? I know you said you got a lot of orders for them.
Thanks. Yes. I'm making about 30 every day. Shipping as often as i can.
My favourite Beast is the cat-like design from Astonishing X-Men. This look is a close second. Wish Bendis didn't push him into the monkey man look.
this beast figure also has drop down hips
to answer your question of the day. my favorite Beast is animated series/X3 movie/ marvel anime xmen. i don't care what anyone says. X3 is still the better X-Men movie compared to all of them together
Wonder if they will do the Trent coat Thing.
BEST Beast handsdown. He's the comic version btw
im aware
The one hand stand is even possible?😮
Sure
Where can we buy that happy beast head sculpt??
I would get it, if it was the old price. I missed out on the first blue one, only got the grey beast. But to pay more for terrible accessories and a so and so paintjob. I just can't consider it rn. One would hope the price increase meant a quality increase, but no such luck.
Have to be very selective rn.
the marvel legends looks better, but the animated series have more character I think
my fav version is from New xmen where beast is more feline and his uniform reminds disney's beast ball suit
I just noticed the new wolvie has same head mold as this beast holy shit them guys almost pulled one over me lol 😂
what new wolverine has this head?
@@AnthonysCustoms the 97 one
The best version of beast is his Jim lee look but besides that I like his human form with the 70s red and navy blue outfit
I wish some of these figures werent hard to find
Yeah those obliques is typical sad QC. I try not to see it.
Pair of glasses 🤓
Darwin still hanging in there 😂
Where did you get that custom head?? It looks amazing and just like The Animated Series!
Okay I kept watching. Are you selling any more that are in the tone of this uncanny beast?
I will be

That head sculpt is perfect. Do you ship overseas? I live in the UK

Does he have drop down hips? I know the dark beast does and it helps alot but you did not mention it or not
I don't believe he does. It's been a while though.

For being a multi billion dollar company hasbro sure are cheapskates.
Great figure. But is too expensive for a regular marvel legends.
The glasses on my beast don’t fit either ☹️
Animated by far partly because I am biased towards it
Are you planning to do ML TOP 10 this year? I know, ML has been so lackluster.
Yes
Doesn't he have drop down hips or am I making that up?
Maybe mine were stuck
Definitely no drop down hips.
My thigh artic was super stiff so I warmed and pulled the legs off.
It's a solid post for the hip, but it's sculpted with a downward bend in it to give him a bit more forward hip range.
@@KrackerJak Checked and the Caliban wave one definitely does. (check out ruclips.net/video/Z0Db-sukh2Y/видео.html )
Maybe they removed it for the retro one?
Guess so
Well now I have to tear the legs off my gray Beast to investigate further...
Thanks for the video AC. I have the GOAT so I am going to pass. However, if they were to produce a Beast wearing his Neil Adams-era I would consider purchasing it.
Pérez style Avengers Beast.
I mean... easy Gargoyle custom?
I wonder if a wash could be done on this.
Yes
Peegs, so they can sell us the one without them :/
I love the beast before he went blue and furry
For me AOE Beast.
Great review, you think you’ll be reviewing the daredevil 3 pack at some stage?
Yes
@@AnthonysCustoms good to know! Thanks for responding
Can you do a review on the 60 anniversary toad, would like your opinion on him.
Yes
Anthony when are you going to review the Figure Rise Standard Goku New Spec?
no plan to
My favorite Beast is cat-faced Beast.
lol. J/K. No one likes cat-faces Beast.
i swear every beast looks weird from marvel legends
😆 coz he's mutant and thats acceptable 😆
Best marvel legend??
