You are one of the very few action figure reviewers (in my experience) who is not shy of pointing out flaws in figures. I really believe that such a perspective is rather necessary for all things.
Theres also the fact that most people dont realize the flaws
100%. Totally agree.
@@Saiyan1229yes you are right, there’s times where I have a figure and don’t realize something until Anthony points it out and then I see it and can’t un-see it
I come here for the negative reviews
@@FlipFlabI agree, I respect Anthony’s opinion on figures because he gives you his honest opinion as a reviewer and not just based on him personally liking or disliking a figure
To be perfectly honest I don't have any skin in this game. i wasn't planning on buying this figure either way. My support for Hasbro has been trending downward for years now, and any character that isn't an absolute must for me is not even considered. Between the constant proportion issues, the lack of good accessories, and the pricing, I just do not have it in me to invest heavily into them anymore. I'm happy for anyone who still gets enjoyment from this upcoming figure, and any others for that matter even if I have no intentions of getting it.
I feel like too many people think if you say you dont like something you hate it and think its the worst thing and hate everyone who like it, when you can just have a neutral viewpoint
Team sports brain about toys. Most of these people don't have many friends, let alone ones that also collect. Being a cheerleader for giant toy companies is a way to replicate some sense of community, which deeply depressing on many levels.
true
Well said.
I had lots of comments coming at me saying I was hating on this figure and hoping it would fail. That was all really weird because I was clear from day one that I liked the figure, I thought the price was fair and that I backed it.
At the same time I didn’t attack people with opposing views that thought it was a trash offering and that it shouldn’t fund.
Even with the EoV, we gave our opinions on the offering but also said "if you like it and want it, then go buy it.” People were so mad that we "hated" on it, and then accused us of trashing people that backed it, which we never did.
These Has-tard white knights are so weird man. I just don't get their mentality.
Since this funded the "influencers" that worked overtime to get this funded for Hasbro have been going off on socials attacking people who didn't want it or didn't want it to fund. These same people claim to be all about positivity. Ironic.
it's always the ones calling every one else haters who are the most hateful.
I find brand simping weird in 2023...to put it into perspective its a lot like Apple and Samsung diehards. 😂
The Facebook groups were strange about this too. I never saw anyone say they didn’t want it to get backed, or even anything bad about it. I saw a lot of people say things like they weren’t backing it because they weren’t interested, or because they didn’t have room for it, or they thought the price was too high. Didn’t see anyone flat out hating on it or even talking shit. Then as soon as it got backed, there were a ton of posts along the lines of “Haha HATERS! It got backed!” I have no clue who the haters even were?
They didn't exist. They were created to explain why it looked like the funding was going to fail.
I can't believe you threatened to kill puppies if this thing got funded.
sometimes a man has to take action lol
@AnthonysCustoms so did ya do it?
HasLabs might make more$ selling the base form of the figure at this size so people can custom it.
Anthony is the only guy online who will tell collectors that they deserve better for their money and have people yell at him for it. Wild.
It's true
I couldn't imagine being so entitled to complain about a figure that's clearly reasonably priced. Some mezco figures are around this price and they are 6 in tall
What I may say be upsetting but is absolutely true, it’s because most of these people lack the ability to think for themselves and discern the quality and worth of a product they’re paying for.
Edit: These people probably like the idea of what they’re buying instead of what they’re actually buying.
Value is subjective and unique to each individual. This youtuber or anyone else does not determine value for anyone other than himself. Get a grip
That is true and all but if a collecor has the funds and isn't that picky when it comes to the perceived value of a figure then he shouldn't be insulted for backing this as well. I just don't get the hate on both sides lol. No need to insult the backers and calling them dumb shills and there is also no need to call people who don't like the haslab as broke or just haters lol. It's okay to have different opinions and to be civilized.
Every time we buy a 6" figure for $25, we are giving Hasbro money.
Do they cost $25 to make? No. Are they making a profit on those? Absolutely!
Are they worth $25 to you? That's for us to decide.
I don't get how we're supposed to send them a message by not backing haslabs, but still buy the regular figures on the line. If it's that serious, why not quit the line altogether and buy something else?
We are living during the golden age of action figures, there are more options now than ever before. Rather than routinely complain about a line, doesn't it make sense to just walk away? It worked for me and Star Wars Black Series and I'm much happier for it.
Anyway, just my 2 cents. Keep the videos coming, they're great!
Because this one was the most phoned in Haslab lol... They did nothing all campaign as they thought people would buy anything... Then they did a PR blitzs with RUclipsrs and hey it funded... Look what Joes got and SW... Now look at ML.... Don't see a difference lol. Golden Age? Joe fan here we got a Company that had a 10/10 line and cheapened out the line twice while raising prices and QC... on the ML front amazing head sculpts best around no1 can say otherwise but still using old bucks pins, no or little accessories and a lack luster X-Men 97 figures but jacked up price... No effects in that wave with Magneto lol.. Come on dude.
the bad figures in the regular ml line shouldnt be purchased either though. we vote with our wallets. that's it. if bad products get purchased, they'll make more of them. if they don't get purchased, they'll make things that do.
@@AnthonysCustomsPractice what you preach? You’re one of Hasbro’s biggest supporters. Even if it’s because you “need to review it”.
@TheHairyGorilla they are still better than 90% of Toy Biz figures.
What I mean by golden age is regarding options. Between Super 7, Mythic Legions, Furay Planet, McFarlane, import companies like S.H. Figuarts, Mafex, Mezco and not to mention all the kick starters out there, we got crazy options.
If you don't like what Hasbro is doing, you got more options than ever before, find one that brings you joy and have fun with it. 😉
@AnthonysCustoms yes, but that's also subjective. The free market always makes a correction, and if enough people don't like the products, they will either adapt to improve or cancel the line.
Clearly the community is not all on the same page and rather than have so much discourse, we should be more understanding that we don't all like the same things and appreciate the fact that we are still a community of adults that like toys.
p.s. thanks for the reply, I'm a fan of your work, even if I don't always agree with your pov.
The free market has spoken. The EoV didn't fund, without anyone needing to be influenced on that decision and GM funded, in spite of all the negativity.
People's opinions on things like value and price, will always differ and in the end, the free market will decide if there is a future for Haslabs or if they will eventually go away.
Don't want more Haslab projects? Don't buy them. It's that simple.
exactly
This situation has just been funny watching unfold lol
without a dog in the fight for this one - Haslab season has certainly provided a distraction to an otherwise dull normal day.
Every time there is a haslab announced, it’s brings out the worst of both sides. This year was by far the worst I have seen in the community.
They’re just doing what’s more profitable, which is giving us less for a higher price. The Skrull head not unlocking, and making us buy the figures that should’ve been the tiers separately, is a win for them.
I was in Dave's livestream counting down the Haslab until it funded, and a few people were bringing up how hateful and toxic Anthony is. Good thing Dave immediately shot it down and said how fair the criticism always is, and most people in chat agreed that fair criticism isn't hate and you should be informed of objective flaws even if you subjectively still like the figure.
that's a good point. dave who?
@@AnthonysCustomsErrr Dave from Displaying Model Behavior.
I'll have to look it up. I don't move in those circles. I don't move in any circles actually lol
It's the world we live in, Ant. Unless you're discussing gender, nuance is an antiquated notion. Everything is black or white. You either love it above all else, and it's the greatest thing to hit the toy community since the first Lego brick, or you hate it with every fiber of your being, and you think that the spot where the person who first had the initial idea was standing is now forever cursed.
I think you could look at the HasLabs based on the performance relative to the intended goal. That car had an end goal of 12,000 and they got 5,000, so the price was too high. The G.I. Joe helicopter end goal was 19,000 and they got 25,000, so that was perceived as a good value, actually technically Hasbro probably should have charged more based on that support level. For Giant Man, the end goal was 14,000 and they got almost exactly 14,000, so it seems that the price point was almost exactly correct relative to the amount of support they expected. These "crowd-funded" projects show the exact amount of support right on the front page, so we get a very good idea about what people perceive as a fair value.
Yeah. That's the problem. People believe this is a good value even though it's really the worst (of the backed haslabs). It could have been fine. 200 for a good 2ft figure isn't the problem. 200 for a lazy, barely painted, no accessory having blown up Marvel Legends base body is the problem.
You talking about the buyer being the issue absolutely hits the nail on the head - I feel the same way with Hot Toys, collectors moan constantly, but keep buying their products! I always say if you don’t like it, don’t buy it - but it makes them angry! Madness online 👀🤦♂️
Hot Toys hype killed 1/6 scale collecting for me. Their QC issues annoyed me no end. I wish they just stayed making exclusively military figures, they're the Marvel Legends of their toy scale now 😪
Who else thinks this would of ended up on clearance if it was a mass release?
Well, to be fair, 95% of all Legends get discounted at retail...
It's super weird seeing the Hasbros congratulating each other on the official post.
"WE DID IT!!!"
wtf.
Right?
Haslab giantman beat the odds like an anime protagonist. I really thought this was dead in the water. I'm glad people who wanted it got it but I'm very suspicious of how conveniently it wrapped up in the last hour. Also very sad for the future of toy collecting as we are getting so buddy buddy with this billion dollar company that is actively screwing them
He got that last minute plot armor
yeah I do like how it jumped from 6k to 13k in the 11th hour, but I am happy for the people who really wanted it
And the worst part is, most of them aren’t even aware they’re being taken advantage of.
I think the people who really wanted Giant man, thinks they got a good deal with the haslab. And a lot of them knows that they could have gotten better value for their money from a different line but who else will provide a Giant man at that size but hasbro.
The fact that a fortune 500 company is asking people for $200 to make a toy is crazy!!!!
Meanwhile, Neca: new Predator go brrr
Old Toy Biz got through with a super articulated giant-sized Spidey and they didn't need any crowdfunding to do that lol.
@@Duomaxwell02M how are they doing now?
Apparently I was called broke and many inappropriate things by multiple Hasbro D riders for not funding it and was threatened to fund it because I said Hasbro is trying to use you guys because this is less of what we should be getting for $200. Then once it fully funded the same group of people commented me back bragging about how it funded and how they got one. I can't believe they're such jerks and so blinded by a company could careless about them and want their money. But thank you Anthonys Customs for addressing this. People really need to snap out of this crap
imagine expecting a for-profit publicly traded corporation to care about you 😂 you are a sensitive lil guy aren’t you
Now, many members of that same group of people are begging hasbro to include the skrull faceplate even though it was 111 backers short.
@@CYeoung no one expects them to care about us, we expect them to care about their profit margin.
@@bandoogiemanz the original commenter literally said they “care less about us and just want our money.” uh, no shit? that’s every company, ever. and guess what? it funded, so whatever they did worked didn’t it
Unfortunately my initial impressions of you were that you were bashing my preferred brand (mcfarlane) for views. I started to watch your content more to compare you to other creators. I very quickly realized that you’re absolutely the best & most honest reviewer bar none. You’ve literally helped me save money by pointing out the flaws of these brands. And I’ve branched into different brands thanks to your content. Apologies if I ever came across brash in your comments. But thanks for your perspective. You actually make this hobby more enjoyable. Best wishes to you and yours. Keep it going bro.
Happy you were able to turn the corner and have more fun collecting. Keep it up.
I backed it a week ago and i am happy it succeeded. Not perfect but its a marvel legends that you will never get otherwise. I also have galactus and want them in a fight
but why wont you get it otherwise? neca releases 18 inch figures all the time. adding 6 inches makes it impossible? no. hell. neca made a 1/2 scale deadpool...
@@AnthonysCustoms speaking specifically about giantman. And thanks for the deadpool tip, i just knew the large turtles so far
@@AnthonysCustomsto be fair, that Deadpool is like $200+ but because of giant man the price has dropped some.
There is an old saying "A fool and his money are easily parted " And once again you have hit the nail on the head .
Also, "It's Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled"
To be fair, this project attracted 1/3 of the backers Galactus got, so theoretically Hasbro left about 20k sales on the table because they didn’t have a good enough offering. So yes it funded, but any poker player will tell you money left on the table is as bad as money lost, so I don’t see this as a big win for Hasbro
The offering wasn't good enough but still Giant-Man has never been as popular as Galactus is, people were also complaining that this was too big for Giant-Man so that threw even more people back. I don't think any other big character (unless its tiers were extra great and a cheap price) would come close to Galactus in numbers.
You can't really read it like that. You shouldn't assume that the people who backed Galactus have the same level of interest in Giantman or other characters. Want to do a Galactus variant or supporting characters(Like the Heralds), sure it works. Giant Man is a different product line.
When it comes to manufacturing, you also may not even want that higher amount depending on the level of production needed. More products to make means more time in production at the factory to make all those orders which can push things back.
All the backer around of the Galactus Haslab tells us is how many customers a Haslab has reached. Cross that with other Haslabs and I'd be curious how many unique buys there are(as multiples each count as a back). But the Marvel Brand is too diverse to say you have the same target users.
Comparing Giant Man to Galactus is not apples to apples.
@@DesignIncaseit’s not how I look at it, it’s how a Hasbro exec looks at it, which is that they lost out on 20k sales. The high level execs don’t understand or care about the fandom, they’re just looking at units sold and they’re going to be upset that they’re leaving potential revenue on the table
I was in the livestream that had Dan Yun. I know he can’t give an answer to my question. I mentioned the same thing you said in this video about the price including the tiers, whether or not it got funded. I asked if one of the tiers didn’t fund would the price be lowered. A RUclips reviewer answered for Hasbro and explained it’s about maximizing profits and how telling people 14,000 units are needed isn’t as appealing as saying 10,000. But that ignores the whole statement.
Am i the only one who finds it odd that reviewers are working with these companies essentially as sales people?
@@AnthonysCustoms Wait until you learn about politicians!
@@AnthonysCustoms this is one of the reasons why many collectors don't want to be lectured to by these people about what they should and shouldn't spend their money on.
If they don’t throw in the Skrull head with it short 111 backers then it’ll hurt them a lot come next Haslab I’m sure.
They need to add it in as a show of customer appreciation at this point because this thing slugged on due to customers feeling unappreciated.
That shouldn't cost them too much for great PR.
exactly. if they don't, it shows exactly how they feel.
@@AnthonysCustoms They don't respect their customers. Just look at Adaptard, Luke Cage, EOV, AOA Cyclops....
It's a double edge sword. On one hand, it would show appreciation to those that backed the product. On the other hand, it would show people that the backer counts for tiers are suggestions rather than hard goals. Where do you draw the line next time?
Personally, I think they should have let it stay up just a bit longer. It was maybe 2 minutes from hitting 14k.
These Haslabs bring out the worst in people on both sides.
And to be clear, I'm not accusing Anthony of being horrible about it either way. Dude is the most fair and unbiased reviewer there is.
This is probably the most true statement I have seen.
Yup and thing that's most frustrating is a lot of these haslabs can be funded and be exclusive to their site yet they don't. Hasbro has the money they're a billion dollar company and can release big items. Years ago they released vehicles that fit 6 inch star wars figures. I remembered the giant tie fighter and the snowspeeder ship and those were under $100 or almost close to $200. So why can't they do that? It's obvious they're lazy and greedy
The only figure i want nowadays is shuma gorath with a purple variation
Yeah wth, when are we getting a baf of shuma
Anthony, I think people seriously misinterpret you. You're helping the consumers to see through the shiny new plastic, digging a bit deeper so we can better evaluate the purchase. There are some figures that I purchased that you said weren't very good but I love them, and that's awesome, this means that we need to pay attention to what we buy so that companies don't sell us absolute trash. And they will, since it will give them more money and that's what they are after anyway.
To me, I don't think people misinterpret him. At least in my country, every time he did review some figures, it actually affect the market price of those figure that he reviewed. Usually, the one that are garbage (well, exaggerating obviously, but for the price they kinda are) and mostly marvel legends, it's actually going downhill (either back to retail or a little below retail price, sometimes even way below retail) 😂. He is still hated by a lot of collectors in my country, but the fact that somehow his review affect the market price, says otherwise
@@NightWatch0997 I don't follow your logic. What I'm getting from your statement is that people don't misinterpret Anthony because he's influential. It doesn't make any sense.
Are you from SE Asia? Because there are a lot of resellers of Marvel Legends there, and of course they'll be unhappy if the ML market crashes. But blaming Anthony for that is totally ridiculous, they should blame Hasbro lol.
If their GI Joe Classified and Transformers lines give better bang for the buck than Marvel Legends, then maybe Hasbro should take a long hard look on their design/sales strategy for ML.
No, true Hasbro fans simply saw the true meaning of what Anthony said in his previous video: “boo hoo I’m a jealous hater and hope you superior toy collectors don’t get your plain Jane upscaled Marvel Legend!”
Clearly that’s what he said. No room for any other interpretation…
@@Duomaxwell02M what I meant, is collectors "hate" him but probably, secretly, they're actually not hating on him 😂. And somehow his review, probably, actually knocked their sense and logic. Again, this is just in my country. And yes, I'm from SE Asia
They misinterpret criticisms as hate because they can’t get past their own ego.
You cannot explain yourself with logic and reason to morons unfortunately. That may appear to be a harsh opening statement but conversation and critical thinking aren’t rewarded in this new world of clickbait and knee-jerk, emotionally evoked, responses based on cherry picked parts of points brokered by someone who is functionally competent. I would be more forgiving if I hadn’t spent the last 2-3 years observing this new trend with a sense of disbelief that I can only describe as reality shattering. This goes for everything nowadays from action figures all the way through to politics and ideological debate. Keep speaking your mind, I find you to be clear, fair and unbiased and that’s what I’m personally here to support. What you do in and for this community is both rare and critical, in my opinion.
Thanks for the support.
The Has’Bros are like the Futurama meme with Fry saying shut up and take my money
It was the best decision ever!
Them getting that many backers in the last day seems a little sus.
Until you compare it to all the other Haslabs. It's the final day. Back it or don't. All the other days you can push it off.
Even Rancor got a huge push to the end but still fell short.
literally in the last FIVE HOURS they got thousands of backers. It's... Odd.
@@DesignIncase The amount of backers almost doubled, that's more than a, "huge push".
All other successful haslabs have had a major push in the thousands on the final day.
💯
next haslab is gonna be fin fang foom but it's just the head and upper torso with the arms the tiers are going to be the rest of the parts 😂
They won and still needed a reason to argue lmao
It’s not like it quadrupled backers in the last day. It obviously had a market, and a majority of people held off until the last possible second. The zombie head is rad, and I’m thankful I get that as a massive Marvel Zombies fan. You’re allowed to like what you like and not like what you don’t like. The problem lies in trying to force people to do either of those things. Which I’m not saying you do, but other people certainly try to do that. People feel the need to poo-poo on things for others if they don’t enjoy it, or conversely shamelessly shill things for clout or attention. No one can win 🤷♂️
Fact: I've learned a lot from the honest reviews pointing those flaws on action figures. Now I see those details before buying them and that makes a difference for sure. Fon instance I still remember the dolphin head you pointed on the TAS spiderman released recently.
Eh, I didn't back it since I agree with you it being not worth the price. But looking forward to your review!
I look forward to seeing your review when you get your figure. I can't wait to customize the ones I have on the way!
Awesome video Anthony I watched your previous ones too and yeah I remember you saying all that stuff it doesn't warrant the price tag to me neither for just a few face change out I'm sure anybody if they had the right tools could make a giant figure for less than that two thumbs up for staying cool about it though always love watching your videos keep up the amazing work👊👊
You have the best take on this. The idea of this is neat but I have the 1/4 scale tmnt…Movie and cartoon. Those guys come with. It’s accessories than this guy at a cheaper price. You showed it in this video but the neca 1/4 Deadpool… look at how much that came with.
It’s just nuts.
I just don’t love the idea of the largest toy company in the world having a glorified kickstarter. Never have.
Thats a dumb comparison the tmnt are NINJA TURTLES this is...giant man what accessories would he have..
The hasbros should buy soap if they are so stinking rich
The HasBros are some wild ones forsure.
Well… they actually did it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Anthony. A bonus video from you is always appreciated!👍
I really like the way you do your videos, and the way you are so transparent on your comments
Glad you like them!
Wow!😄That's a tough one to swallow up the figure funds..🤔💸
You hit the nail in the head when you said it doesnt send the right message to Hasbro. Had they failed, they would have made changes to get collectors back. Now they know this is enough. Which seems to be Hasbros motto, its good enough.
Always appreciate your honesty and sincerity when objectively discussing these products
Very insightful arguments. It's so crazy how people had been begging others to buy it and calling them poor and haters 😂. This has nothing special to it than size other than articulated fingers,which even Galactus and Sentinel had & still they kept highlighting it here because there is nothing else to this fig otherwise. They couldn't even do a proper neck joint, its just a legends figure scaled up.
But that being said for the people who wanted it, its nice. I am skeptical about the interchangeable faces though
Keep this videos coming. I also think being in germany i have another view on the price: i was very lucky to “just” pay 130 euro for master weng. So the giantman is more fair when it comes to oversea conversion as hasbro ships directly with basic shipping
The final day was definitely sus when the backers were so stagnated, spot on in the slippery slope part for what hasbro can get away with
I was watching a live cast with Dan Yun and Dan Who. Dan made it sound that Hasbro Corporate pull numbers for the Haslab’s from overseas numbers not included in the current numbers on their site. When they need them. Not sure how much of that is true or not, but it’s interesting.
Whether I buy it at retail or if I buy it via Haslab, the end result is the same… I have a figure I want. The only thing I care about is whether I want the item and if the price is right. All of these Toy Crusaders make me laugh.
I’ve never seen anything like this campaign. I’ve never seen people act like spoiled brats like this before. Several action figure reviewers that I followed for years, we’re having absolute hissy-fit tantrums and calling their own followers “fake fans” and begging others to back Multiple figures. Now they are taking screenshots of their own followers comments and shaming them publicly on their social medias. Absolutely ridiculous
at least you get to see their true colors
Seriously?!? Who did this?
Certainly do
@@LaserPants Erivera94 is one of them afaik
I bet the Rancor would've succeeded if that one was $200. Totally agree with everything you said. I love how you call out the HasBros.
Hello Anthony,
Good vid, one remark:
The buyer does NOT set the price for luxury items, the selling brand does.
The buyer accepts the premium price on luxury because buying premium fulfills self-esteem and social recognition needs beyond just enjoying the product.
Maybe thats why some people get really touchy about all this.
You are absolutely right about Hasbro implementing good ideas to only test the waters with the same idea giving less or charging more until it utterly fails. Cf Magic the Gathering - 30 years of those cycles… going through roughest crisis atm after the 30th anniversary party which was a disaster.
I did not back it. Should have been a hasbro exclusive and maybe I would have been a little tempted after seeing good reviews.
You listed reasons buyers well pay more but it's still based on what they will pay. It's not my opinion. Luxury items are only as expensive as the buyer will allow
@@AnthonysCustoms
yes buyer makes the ultimate purchase decision. Agreed.
So, buyer should have the upper-hand but good marketing and branding makes the buyer resistance weaker. I worked in Luxury hotels and we set the prices (yearly raises!), clients had to go with it. They of course allowed it as you say but we set the prices and they accept it or not.
My role was to figure out how to maximize room inventory revenue.
Hasbro could sell more copies at a lower price or less copies at a higher price. Its their job to figure that out and aim for the best target. Thats what marketing is.
They tried selling us a luxury car with top, middle, bottom.
Imagine if I had told my clients: “yes sir, your room has a floor a ceiling and walls”
Lmao. “Oh btw, sir, the room has no electricity… yes, competition has a similar product for cheaper and more features.” Lol again. Of course, disaster.
They took a safe bet with giant man - said it themselves (in awkward ways).
You definitely have a better idea than me about the cost side of action figures and how much of a good deal is the 200$ giant man for hasbro.
Cost aside, Would they have sold twice or more the quantity if priced at 120$? I dont think so but could be wrong.
crowd funding can be a good thing when done right cos it shows that the people really want an exclusive figure or play set cos if a company just produced it and put it in to shops it would either get scalped or become a shelf / peg warmer and loosing money on stuff people don't want
All this proving someone wrong or right is ridiculous and plain pointless.. I’m just glad it got funded as homage to the 7 toybiz BAFs, now I’m committed to get apocalypse as well..😂… we missed the skrull though by a 100..I wish the skrull was the first tier.. anyway we’re moving forward.. let’s just celebrate..
Exactly! Why feel the need to needlessly bash something just because you specifically don’t want it? I don’t buy 99% of Mezco releases, they’re too expensive for what you’re getting IMO, but I would never complain that they make them.
@@vicentegeonix thats you dude, Galactus was $400. this was just $200, no ones forcing you to buy it, if you dont want to..
don't worry when standard figures that comes with nothing from marvel Legends cost $33.99 the Hasbro's will be happy about it. I appreciate your videos
It already is and I couldn't be happier 🙏
Great podcast Anthony. That is incredibly silly that people are getting furious over somebody having a difference of opinion on a toy. They act as though they are the ones personally being disrespected and this type of behavior revolves around just about everything these days, truly strange times
people coming to your channel, not watching the video, taking everything out of context, leaving angry comments, and then blaming you and calling you a hater is the perfect summary of modern day America 😆
Indeed. Such a shame.
Galactus was stagnant unitl thr last 24 hours it pushed up when they added those figures and that silly doom head
You nailed it on this video man...everything was on point bro.
Another awesome video by AnthonyCustoms Thank You!
This is why i’ve been subscribed to this man’s channel since you reviewed figma Saber 2.0
Go get em Anthony 💪🏻
It's crazy to me you had to clarify and clip what you said in the video they responded to. Being so mad at you taking for being a "hater" by taking an objective approach on the HasLab whilst still being supportive of people who want it to back it.
Anthony you're the only real action figure collector I watch and I really appreciate and take your recommendations in consideration for my purchases. Not enough people are so spot on or can give constructive criticisms like you, although sometimes I think you're too nice about the ratings of the Marvel Legends figure haha. Still I'd love and appreciate getting even more reviews on different Mafex, Marvel Legends or even Mezco figures. Hopefully in the future you could manage to do even more reviews. Wish you the best!
Double uploads 🙏🏽
Haha, I'm glad you always voice your opinion. You help remind me that these are just pieces of plastic and not get carried away. I didn't buy one cause for my area, I don't have space for it. But it does look cool and hoping it comes out as cool as it looks
I actually realized while thinking about this Champaign that Mattel is making giant play sets and figures like Grayskull, Snake Mountain and Brachiasours. They have tons of sculpting and accessories and articulation and while expensive, are no where near this price tag. So I really wonder if Hasbro is tripping something, even doing their “windowless packages” which they specifically advertise is supposed to save them money.
Yea tbh i don't like Mattel creations ,just like haslab is a shitty move
But at least Mattel creations have okay prices for how masive their stuff are, or they come with a lot of things
Then you have Haslab and their 600 bucks lightsaber lmao
@@gawrshurab1035 yes, Mattel creations sucks and they kinda depend on it too much, though that’s really more of a management/distribution issue than price gauging
Thank god the big Marvel Legend figure got funded! Couldn’t imagine what else I could possibly put $200 towards…
I was in a count down Livestream and was shocked when it almost doubled in backers in the last 5 hours. I'm personally not buying one because I don't want to spend $200 on one toy. I'd rather spend that money on multiple figures and have the $25 Ant-Man instead. Definitely glad it reached the objective for people that want it, it's just not for me.
I think you overstated how many people came out with the pitchforks. There is like 7-8 comments from angry nerds. But I suppose a 2nd video on this subject was coming regardless if it backed or not, it would only make sense to talk about it post campaign.
You think you see all the comments and messages i get?
@@AnthonysCustoms No, just the comments on the Giant Man video prior to this one. But if it's anything like that comments section, you had a lot of support.
Great video Anthony!
The has -bro’s were on full blitzkrieg last night. Nobody was safe from those keyboard warriors. They were fishing out comments from weeks ago to troll on. They truly have no lives.
I'm curious if the final number we see on Pulse, includes overseas backers. If it doesn't then the Skull head most likely will be added. I didn't back this one myself. I am happy that it backed for those who wanted it. I just have ZERO interest in the character. I backed Galatus and the Sentinel immediately. And was a NOPE on the EoV.
This thing is the price of 2 import figures, I don't see how saying it's grossly overpriced over 8 times in this video is justified.
import figures at 6 inches have more paint, sculpt, and accessories than this mediocre-at-best offering.
Sadly the truth is hard for some people to hear ....just keep being you ,it's what I respect about your channel is the honesty
After seeing the edited version Tony did, I didn’t even realize how off the proportions are. The 13” Giant man has way better proportions. Dammit Anthony I can’t unsee it now.
me either
I feel his shoulders should push outwards more.
What’s funny about this Giant Man Haslab is that with Transformers, they already have 18”-24” (sometimes even taller) figures that are actually mass releases that are also come in at the same $200 price point as this figure (even though when the “titan class figures” first came out in 2013, they were MSRP $150). In other words, Hasbro could’ve done the same thing with Giant Man, so it’s not even the same usual Hasbro BS, because they have proven that they can make these Haslabs regular releases and not have to scam people out of money to “be able to make it” when they are a multi billion dollar company and could’ve already made it/funded it themselves from the start.
very well said Anthony!!
Thank you for your content. I am looking forward to your honest review of this figure.........next year😭
You and me both!
the rancor was as close to getting funded as the giant man was to getting it's 2nd tier, so, I don't think it was hasbro's doing really
Thanks for your efforts on this video Anthony. Peculiar that two English words such as "crowd" and "fund" can cause so much frustration to some that they are compelled to express their confusions. Initially surprised that this campaign reached the mark it achieved, the surprise was soon followed by happiness and anticipation. Y'see I cannot wait for you to review this.
and theyll crawl out of their basements to call me a hater then too...despite not being able to refute anything i say in the video.
@@AnthonysCustoms And yet these same "viewers" also accept Luke Cage with his armpits showing (at least Hasbro could have painted in some pubes - match the fuzz on the 'fro don't ya think?).
I'm probably gonna wait till next year to buy one since i didnt have money for this time
just ignore the hasbro balls garglers
I cannot believe you’ve been getting abuse over this. People really need to get a grip.
I think the reason why you're getting such comments is because of the title, and as you know, people just see the title or thumbnail and come to comment without watching the video.
the title was accurate at the time. if they chose to not watch the video and then comment, that's on them
@@AnthonysCustoms Indeed
I don't want then including extra figures for a haslab I don't want. I hated them putting highly asked for legends behind an expensive unwanted haslab, I disagree with you saying they should have added more characters. Mind you, I didn't back this either because I don't like the character.
Keeping it as real as always 👊
I think one of the contributing factors for the spike in numbers last minute is from international territories that don’t have hasbro pulse, was confirmed those numbers aren’t in sync with the direct orders from hasbro pulse & of course from people who waited last minute. While i think the pricing is ridiculous for the marvel legends haslab i much prefer cheaper haslabs without additional figures that up the price. So I personally feel this is more reasonable.
They could've at least added a normal sized giantman, a mini antman and a hank pym as an unlockable tier
In collectors' groups where I'm from is specially cringy when it comes to Hasbro. They're attacking one another claiming if you don't want it is just because you can afford it, regardless if 80% of the marvel legends out this year has been arse-quality
PS. Double video today, great!
I'd bet those Has-Bros are resellers lol. That's the only conclusion that I could derive from their actions.
Dude you were clearly not neutral on this situation and had chosen a side which is totally fine. And also I saw some groups/communities genuinely happy this got funded…no need to rain on their parade.
Your comment does have anything to do with anything I said.
For some people showing less than 100% praise means absolute hatred. And they get to scream it out loud on the internet. Nothing to do but ignore them I guess.
Previous Giant Man video was perfectly clear and presented fair, nuanced arguments. And ultimately prompted the viewers to make their own mind.as informed customers. What else can one ask for?
Blind, unwavering loyalty to a toy company, of course
Great point 👏🏼
Well said, Anthony. This is what a mature-minded, wise individual sounds like.
That was my nickname in high school
May be you become way too reasonable for those angry kids?@@AnthonysCustoms
Don't mind the Keyboard Warriors 😂
spot on
