- Some collectors say they're free figures. Others know we're paying for them one way or another. The real questions are whether or not they're any good and which ones are the best; Toy Biz or Hasbro?

No Galactus? *sniff* He’s the number one BAF in my heart.
agreed
He started it all
it's small, I prefer the MU one
Asherjoshua098 definitely not small compared to most BAFS or figures in general lol. Just not as big as the MU one
It's riddled with problems
That Sentinel looks like a custom you’d pay four figures for nowadays
Dude it looks like 200 bucks not like 90
It’s genuinely hard to believe that figure was roughly 60 dollars at the time.
He said 4 digits!? Lol
then you're getting swindled lmao
That sentinel is insane, please re-review it
Kingdom Come Superman i think he did a while back, but i could be wrong. Im pretty sure the quality was really bad lol.
I'm so happy they are re-releasing Monster Venom. It's a perfect example of why I LOVE the idea of the re-releasing BAFs because I couldnt live with myself knowing I'd give Hasbro money for that Spider Sham!
Im one of the poor bastards that bought that wave for monster venom!
it was honestly an amazing wave
@@raglyph me too, my only consolation, is I havent owned any of those figures yet..just once I see an entire set sitting on a shelf for one scoop, I couldnt resist...at least Hasbro tweaks it (the new bafs) a little...so not exactly the same
I love how the Monster venom repaint looks especially as an Eddie Brock venom instead of Mack Gargan
When you compared the BAFs with the Gambit figure,I honestly thought you were about to insert your Gambit head sculpt sale again 🤣
Sale's over.
@@AnthonysCustoms I know,it was just a joke.
@@riksarkar4964 calm down
@@salaciouscrumb3704 thank you 👍
@@realUlfricStormcloak who said I wasnt?how can you understand a person's mood/feelings via text without use of emoji?
I miss videos like this from Anthony. Good to see a return
It hasn't even been 2 months since i did a bunch.
@@AnthonysCustoms 2 months can seem like an eternity... for men... Calvin Klein. Or is that Obsession?
2 am top ten, let's go!
Also, I recently found your videos, and let me say that I love them all. You have very insightful reviews that help me out a lot in this hobby that I decided to jump into recently. Thanks for the amazing content!
Thanks Anthony’scustoms for bringing out Toybiz figures and showed how great they were back in the day but still gold today...we don’t get any more figures like these anymore
Oh, kinda surprised you didn't review the rest of the new DC Multiverse figures
They must've really sucked the life out of you
I sure wouldn't want to review them!😵
Surely wouldnt want them taking up space either!
Why is a DC fan hereweeeeeeee
Having freckles myself, especially as a child, I can fully appreciate the efforts they put into giving Fred Dukes aka the Blob some as well.
That Sentinel 🔥🔥🔥
GIANT MAN, if I recall, did have the downside of including one of the limbs with a 1-per-case chase figure. So you had really, really bad odds of completing him.
Surprised there's no ToyBiz GALACTUS on your list, it's an amazing BAF.
Solid list otherwise...
It was riddled with qc problems.
@@AnthonysCustoms Marvel universe Galactus was pretty good, would you consider it an upgrade?
Makes one kinda wish all of these were kinda niche, like Figma when things were more quality and had more accessories instead of being overcharged because it's the popular anime of the season.
Yeah its ridiculous, I still buy Figma but the prices are kind of egregious. And even though the quality is still great on them they really aren't better than when they used to cost 40$ or so. and nowadays most of them come with like 1 accessory and cost 70-80$ on average. What pains me most is looking around at their website and seeing some of their older releases that cost around 30$ and came with a ton of accessories.
The monster venom was cool, but I only ended up getting Typhoid Mary due to either couldn’t find certain figures or lack of interest in some of them so I only have his leg, so the re-release in Eddie Brock colors I’m very excited for.
I really wanted Toy Biz to have kept making figures
I just always enjoyed their sculpting far more than Hasbro's, because Hasbro feels wayyyyy lazier than Toy Biz
Hasbro reuses too much the same bodies and that really bothers me personally.
Plus I miss the finger and toe articulation that I doubt we'll ever see again.
Great job on the video and list, ToyBiz really knew what they were doing when it came to BAF's, you really should try get a Pitt if you can, unlike most of the other characters it is one you will probably never see again and is definitely in the top 10 all time best BAF's.
I would like to point out one thing I believe is in error in your video, when you are talking about Dormammu, you mention that he was released again, but technically the BAF is the re-released version from 2016. The original version came with the 2015 SDCC Book of Vishanti set. It isn't a huge deal but I have a feeling there are some people that have the SDCC version that feel the BAF should never have been released, and many others who are glad it was so they could own such an awesome figure. Anyway keep up the good work.
Great list, though 2 things surprised me... the first was FFF coming out on top... personally I've always felt that even when Hasbro was swinging and missing on their regular releases, their BAFs were always done well, and FFF still stands as their crowning achievement... but most times I see YT reviewers put together one of these lists, the TB Sentinel usually is the king of the hill... even though I adore that Sentinel (I put together 3 of them) its nice to see FFF get his due... that thing is awesome! The 2nd thing that surprised me was that Arnim Zola didn't make the cut, even as an honorable mention... I get it that he's not exactly covered in paint detail, but the sculpt and his overall look is damn near perfect, he looks like he stepped right out of a comic panel... but again, Ant, great list, keep up the awesome work!
That Giant-Man figure is really cool. I wish I was collecting when it was available
I cannot wait to add these figures to my collection!
Great list! Toy Biz was truly the ultimate gift to Marvel fans, and far ahead of its time! M.O.D.O.K was such a crazy/release back in the day. Speaking of Gambit, please let me get a second chance at those head sculpts. I was out of country, and your work is amazing!
dude fix your mojo legs, their all on hinges you can push them up and it looks really good
I had no idea... I'm new to action figures.
@@AnthonysCustoms yeah i figured because its been like that since the last time you reviewed it
@@loganrunjack um I think he's being sarcastic
@@datboi4446 why doesn't he fix it then??
@@loganrunjack idk

I only collect Spider-Man and DareDevil figures, so I'm only getting those. However I can appreciate the level of detail some of these figures have (I have monster venom, and also I have Retro Rhino pre-ordered) so I have a couple from the list.
think sauron deserves at least an honorable mention
You mean Lizard from asm? No way.
Im 41 years old and live in honduras but fortunetly for me i started collecting marvel legends in 2003 when i lived in the united states for 6 months. I have all of the build a figures you chose in your top 10 except for the fing fang foom 😭 (im missing the end hulk and king hulk figures and their pieces) i agree with your choices almost completly and for me there is a nostalgia factor. When you saw these toybiz figures in a walmart it was great to see what the build a figure was plus the comic or poster youd get and even some game cards.
They're going to be selling the Vemon Build-a-Figure by itself soon and I'm super excited
Great stuff thanks.
That sentinel looks so cool
Haven't seen you posted a video recently maybe you want to make a video on all the hard work you putting on the gamits head sculptures I wouldn't mind some of that action
I've always both loved and hated the concept of Build-A-Figures; on the one hand, it's cool being able to build a whole new action figure by collecting other action figures, but on the other hand a lot of the time you end up getting those waves where the BAF itself is really cool, but the figures required to build it are just incredibly lackluster. It really depends.
All my favourite ToyBiz BAFs are here. Awesome. 😀 👍🏻
Hey Anthony great vid. I would like a fing fang foom and sentinel review. Fing fang foom is one I’ve always liked and I’m thinking of picking up a sentinel.
Holly Anthony's review!! Amazing collection!! Amazing review!! Must watch review!!
Awesome set
I'm excited for the new venom baf.. the black and blue paint with the traditional colours suits this mould very well..if only it came with extra pair of hands would have been perfect
I know it’s not technically a marvel legends build a figure but the pitt baf figure is awesome. I personally feel like the sentinel figure should be number one. Thank you for the review.
I would like to see a re review of the modok BAF that you reviewed long ago
What up Anthony, it would be cool if you did a review of the entire Legendary Comic book Heroes line. As a group, with Pitt and Monkey Man BAFs. Nostalgia
Great list, I think what we can take from this is that the older BAF's are better than current ones ? I think maybe only Venom has come out in the last 3 years ?? I'm sure somebody can and will correct me lol
I’m definitely a little late to the video but I completely agree with almost everything you said. I’d always prefer the sentinel over any build a figure but to each it’s own. It’s heart breaking that what we think are great figures now don’t even compare to what we’ve gotten before BAF wise and honestly even regular figure wise. Hasbro has come a long way I’ll give them that but its just not the same. Take face off CAP for example... so much heart went into that figure... I believe that we as the collectors are what ultimately decide what hasbro puts out! We let them continue with sometimes half assed figs because we buy anyways
You know what Anthony?!!! I've been trying to avoid these BAF figures but you're right, for a collector they are unavoidable. Even though I've been collecting action figures since 1983, I even bought some original Toy Biz back in the day, I only started to collect Marvel Legends seriously in the summer of 2019 so the new Juggernaut version from the two pack is the only one I have and he wasn't even in your list. I'm going after some of those BAF figures, I already have the other Apocalypse version (I'm happy with it), Venom is going to be rereleased and I rather have the other Onslaught version. The ones I want are Modok, Giant-Man, Mojo, Blob, Rhino and Fin Fang Foom, even though I agree that the Sentinel is a good action figure, that isn't the look I want for that character. The problem is the prices in the aftermarket are way above what I think is a fair price for figures of this quality and rarity so I may even commit an act of what I consider to be sacrilege in collecting action figures and buy a KO Fin Fang Foom unless I end up finding an original at a reasonable price. Nice top 10, I agree with Anthony when he says that it's easy to notice the love put into designing, painting, sculpting and engineering every one of these action figures, I also think Hasbro should and could be doing the same thing today.
I agree more big build a figured though I’m shocked no hulk buster it was a original sculpt and looks great!
I want to get two sentinels to go next to the haslab one as mastermold, do you recommend the baf or marvel universe?
What about Galactus? I went through my old toys from when I was younger and I have all the Galactus BAF except like 2. Should I complete it after all these years or is the final product not very good?
I guess I never comprehended how big fing fang fum was until I saw him next to Sentinel
Hey Anthony, when will you review SHF Bison & Sagat? And uh, it is out yet?
Superb list! Could’ve used a Galactus, even if as an honorable mention...
I agree with Fing fang foom baf I'm completing my 3rd Foom right now want to make a custom.
When i was a kid. I had the full fin fang foom and the dormamu and ONE of the sentinels legs.
Im 23
I have giANT man, Sentinel, Fingfangfoom, Galactus, and black variant Apocalypse BAF. Fun fact not all black variant apocalypse comes with the arm tubes, most of them only have the right or left side.
I'm really surprised Warlock from New Mutants didn't even get a mention. Talk about some detailed sculpting.
Yeah, I expected good old Sentinel to be N°1 but Fing Fang Foom is awesome too. As for the Venom repaint/re-release, I think it's a pass. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful mold but I don't think it works for an Eddie Brock Venom. Also, there's no accesories. No alternate head, no fists, no tendrills, nothing. The funny thing is that the new repaints/re-releases like Outback Hulk and Red Hulk are bigger than Venom and they have accesories. Outback Hulk has 2 heads, 2 open hands and 2 fists hands. Why did they add nore accesories to him instead of Venom? For these reasons, I think the new Venom is unnecessary and a bit lazy.
We need a taller, updated fing fang foom. He's supposed to be towering.
Hey Anthony when are the Gambit heads shipping? Thanks.
Was Dormammu released again? Was it as a deluxe figure or a two-pack somewhere?
I have to agree about the detail and designs of the older figures. Especially Toy Biz. Now they did have a couple 💩terds💩,but they also had some really detailed and quality gems💎! For me the Doctor Octopus🐙 from Toy Biz series VIII is my #1 favorite figure. Also I really liked the Toy Biz Nightcrawler from the Galactus BAF wave and the Professor X is not too shabby either. These figures not only had amazing details, but they had stands/bases, some that you could nail to the wall. My Daredevil for example has a base that had stained glass. It looks really unique and made for a great addition to the shelf. Hasbro isn't bad, by no means. They have a few gems too. I really like the attention Toy Biz gave their Legends line back then. Diamond Select also had some incredible accessory work, stands/bases as well. But the scale and the articulation or lack of articulation drops them a lot.
I really want that blob baf but he's so expensive anywhere to try and get him! I will get him somehow though.
I love Hasbro, but Toybiz killed it with the Marvel legends line
The Blob fig reminds me of the 1992 Xmen 6 player arcade game! “Nothing moves the Blob!”
Hasbro stills give us figures like these, but come with the spider-ham.
Way to go hasbro. Good job.
U probably won’t like this comment but maybe you should dip into diamond select marvel figures, especially for like Thanos, Juggernaut, Thing, Hulkbuster, and carnage. (Some of my favorites).
1:37 “my action figure looks like he’s made of plastic”
No Shit.
Oh. You don't understand collectibles.
AnthonysCustoms I thought action figures were toys and not collectibles
@@speed9553 Marvel Legends is specifically aimed at adult collectors.
If you didn't know that...well...its not anyone's fault but yours for it.
My issue with that Apocalypse, which is why I never completed him, is on perfect display in this video: The two color variants. It was hard enough to find all the parts, let alone the right color ones. The Sentinel is both the first BAF I completed, and the best in my opinion. Walking into a Wal-Mart and buying the full set in one shot was simultaneously the dumbest and smartest thing I ever did. And the best non-Marvel Legends BAF is definitely Pitt from Toy Biz's tragically short-lived Comic Book Legends line (mostly all Image stuff)
That guys so expensive now
Now you have to do a top 10 collect and connect :D
K
Great video !
Thoughts on the new Spooderboi ?
Unrelated, but please make a video on the new halo figures, they look really good!
Can i PLEASE buy that Onslaught figure from you? I tried to complete mine years ago when the figures were still in circulation but I was never able to get all of them (also love your channel)
Could someone spare some advice? Would I be better off trying to buy BAFs piece by piece? Or should I try to buy them complete??
I honestly dont mind when they re release bafs. I'm too broke to buy a whole wave
The only two that I don't have are Rocket and Puck. I got Puck later on the Alpha Flight box set. I don't think I have I ever passed on a BAF
I'm really curious where the Deadpool-Venom BAF would fit in this list now...
This is a hot take, but I think Hasbro should drop the BAF business model for Marvel Legends and follow something similar to Power Rangers Lightning collection where each individual figure comes with a decent amount of accessories and make the larger figures different size/price classes (similar to Transformers).
Over the years I’ve felt that whatever budget that goes into the BAF could be better used to make the individual figures more appealing and worth the price. And while I do agree a good Build-a-Figure can sell a wave full of duds, you still bought figures you didn’t want in the first place (at best you could sell them online, but you won’t get the same amount you paid for it).
I know I’m in the minority on this one, but it’s a concept that’s been going through my head for almost a year now. Let me know what you guys think.
If you're out of reviews to do for now, it would be cool if you did more videos like that Spider-Man one you did not long ago, where you compare all figures of one character. Wolverine, Iron Man, Batman, etc. I'd love to see that.
Blob, Sentinel, Apocalypse, Galactus and Foom are my top 5!
Wow that Giant Man had butterfly joints, in 2005? That's pretty awesome for the time before that was pretty normal
But it was pretty normal then
@@chataclysm2112 was it? Sorry I didnt start collecting until 2017
It seems few and far between these days
i dunno, i liked the warlock baf.. was surprised it wasn't on here because of all the sculpt work.
I really like some of the toybiz Figures and the extras that Hasbro lacks especially if it has a baf peace once again
Damn that one sentinel arm!
Really hope we get a seperate release of Rhino too
I’d love to see you rank every single build a figure haha
Can do
There were so many parts to Giant Man! I wonder how many incomplete ones are out there haha
Pretty sure that AOA Wolverine burnt-face variant you need to complete it is still pegwarming in many toy shops.
Xavier Leo haha I already have that one!
*sniffles* No Wendigo or Sauron underrated babies.
True though BAFs should be unique sculpts-
One day i’m gonna get that fing fang foom , i have a leg for that sentinel and also a both head and a leg for rhino
My boi puck be out there looking like a 3.75 scale figure
companies just don’t care about there customers any more 😢
I got sentinel and apocalypse, i think back in 06 and 07. So yeah its been a while
I have an Giant Man, Fin Fang Fum, Two Apocalypses (one black version) and three Sentinels. I likey...
I have a question buddy? Do you think they will release DRAGON MAN
Apocalypse 🔥🔥 he’d be our top contenders
Anthony Kun take a look on the 1/12kotobukiya megaman x
I'm hoping to have at least 2 of the figures he mentions...I love baf
Rhino was my first baf. I bought every one of the wave to ensure I got rhino. Still one of my favorite figures and it's pretty banged up from use
You got me with Puck and Rocket - I thought Galactus would have taken a spot though!
Too many problems
@@AnthonysCustoms I just went and watched your old review after leaving this comment.
Galactus was the very 1st BAF. You definately gotta have Galactus when it comes to collecting the BAFs.
Come back Anthony!!
I have over thirty marvel legends and the closest I have comes to completing a Baf is a torso,arm,and head of Sasquatch
Ebay is your friend.
Can you make a custom Juggernaut action figure?
Fun fact: they have more detail because most of those are toybiz.
We have the Purple Thanos BAF, that is obviously Number One of this List
The one that looks like Grimace from McDonald's? I'm rather not a fan of that version. I fancy the Marvel Select over it
New Haslab Sentinel incoming though.
