Yes, I feel the same way. Th only figure I want is Cyclops. But Robo makes sitting through a half hour video about figures and characters I don't really care about super entertaining.
If you push inwards a bit at the shoulder, you can get Chamber's arms up to horizontal. His arms are reuse from Jimmy Woo. The little black mark on Monet's forehead is probably an imperfection in the plastic (often from an air bubble in the plastic), which when it comes to QC issues Hasbro has, those imperfections are really annoying, as they can't just be wiped away like a wayward drop of paint.
You probably don't realise it but with this wave you've actually got half the Generation X team. Chamber and Monet were wearing those costumes in the series and Emma Frost and Banshee were both teaching them. Throw in one of the Jubilee's and you're just waiting for Husk, Penance, Skin and Synch!
Fang should have come with a Daken head. Also, I removed Kid Omega's granny glasses and glued on an extra set of Jubilee visor that I had. Looks much better! Nice wave over all though. Lot of variety.
watching your animated effect and editing skills get better and better with each video is awesome. the pan up to title was neat and subsequent character specific animated effects add a unique sense of imagination that comes with playing with toys that the effects in the review replicate, and they're getting more ambitious and impressive with each video (:
Thanks, I'm really enjoying that process at the moment. Learning the editing software more, seeing what I can actually figure out. Just another way of playing, heh.
For kid Omega, this body is perfect for Miles and nightcrawler simple legs and arm swap with a vest peal and transfer which works perfectly, like it was meant to be
Got this wave yesterday and the lack of accessories is just really on the nose for the price. Not only that but my Emma is missing her second set of hands. I wanted to enjoy these figures but just found myself feeling a type of buyer’s remorse over how little bang I got for my buck.
Damn the wrapped alternate head is so obvious, but I didn't even think of it until Robo said it. But Hasbro has taught me to have my expectation to the floor. I hope we see the wrapped head on alternate body in the maroon costume like the rest of Gen X.
The Baf is the main attraction for me. Cant wait to get this. I dont even care that its mostly abomination. Agree though- He definitely should be bigger
The ch'od wave is a Hugh improvement over the bone breaker wave imo. Their were so many things wrong with the bone breaker wave that I waited for a price drop to buy it. Vulcan, bone breaker & havok mainly for the effects were the only great figures in that wave. I only don't like kid omega In this wave because of his costume but at least they didn't give up on the krakoan era X-Men yet. All we need is Adam x to complete the summers brothers now.
@@brainlock72 In 2020 or 2021 in a comic called x-men legends. X-men legends was about previous x writers like Claremont, David, nicieza & simonson writing stories that took place in the past while the krakoa era was still happening. Fabian nicieza wrote a arc where havok & Cyclops found out that Adam x was their half brother do to emperor d-ken taking dna from Katharine summers & merging it with his before killing her to make a kid.
I have 4 of them coming. I may go back for Chamber and Kid Omega, because I have seen some cool headswaps for them. So it's possible I will complete the BAF.
I just got this wave and it's on my desk. I too want more Starjammers! As far as sets go, this is my favorite one in a while for each character being pretty good.
Found Chamber last week, took the spare head from the newish Ghost rider and the gloved hands and put them on , looks better and not so odd in the length of the arms. But that's me , I'm old , going on 55 , I like it better.
Corsair and Fang for me. Then it’s off to the fodder bin to craft a CH…odd. That’s how I pronounce it too. The Chamber body is tempting. I never really read the comics with Chamber or Monee. (Sorry Rich M) It’s a cool looking figure but I needs funds for Joes.
I did a couple quickie customs of two of these, already. Ch’od from Abom with Juggy’s be,t. It’s too loose. Chamber from 90s Morbius and …Ult.Goblin fire effect? I forget which head I used, but it just hangs around his neck. (I think everybody tried the Forge/Corsair custom? I skipped it.) Chamber and Monet go with Massachusetts Academy headmasters Banshee and Emma (in a white version of M’s costume) for GenX. Sean alternated between green and blue, and in later issues, wore a Celtics jacket over his uniform. Quentin, I would try the BoneBreaker head for him (or Fang-Daken?), repainting his Mohawk.
Emma is starting to hit, but I haven’t seen any others in this wave, yet. Hell, mine only have Strucker and Cap in Puff Adder wave. 🙄 And at least four Teraze Haute(?) warming pegs at each. 😂
@@Baconlovesreddead Haha lol. At least I’m not stupid enough to fall for this BS propaganda and actually believe I can change my gender. And why do you narcissists make it your entire identity? It’s so weird. And it’s not pride month. Pride month doesn’t exist. It’s the month of fathers. REAL men. Why do you think alphabet mafia want to take over this month? To get rid of fathers. They don’t like people who have a sting moral ground. Those that do have logic. And logically and factually, you can’t change your gender.
Lack of weapon and details are missing from Ch’od and why oh my did they reuse abomination body for him. And accessories or lack hurts this wave but it’s a ok X-men wave hopefully next they would fill in the ranks. Great review like always ..
A nice review but I will say this wave was really chopped up for my a outsider to the x men although since you mentioned it that kid omega could make a great base for a custom
That comic book look for Chamber looks like the head from one of the Rocketeer figures. If it's the Funko that one is 6 inch, but the Diamond Select is 7 inch.
For the Fang action figure, I'm planning on making him into Wolverine by using his beserker head from the Return of Wolverine action figure. (The Wolverine action figure with his heat claws.)
There was definitely an older comic where the Abomination was launched into space, then came back issues later accompanied by space-based characters, and for years I always assumed that Ch'od was just that same thing.
I'm not a fan of this look for Quentin Quire, and I *know* the context. It's just... boring. Even as an X-Force outfit, it's not like anyone else on his team is wearing a stealthy outfit. They really could've made up for the lack of accessories with more thought put into the BAF. I didn't even notice the fingers, but that's a dealbreaker for me. Lack of gun I could just about take, but not that. I'm probably just going with Emma, Cyclops and Corsair, and at discounted prices. Glad to know snipping off Cyclops' smoking part doesn't leave too noticeable a mark, at least.
I was out of comic books at the time of Astonishing X-men. Was the artist using Christina Aguilera as his inspiration? That is immediately who I thought of when the figure was revealed and it has only been solidified since getting the figure in hand.
The newer (Bonebreaker) Havok head and effects work well with older (Juggernaught) Havok. If you don't mind the older body style, there is more and (I think) better paint work.
@@Rocket1377 Interesting! I figured it had to be something during the actual manufacturing process. No way a mistake like that would make it out of prototyping.
The 90's X-Men cartoon was made in Canada. English and French are the language in spoken in Canada. I was on a camping trip in Canada and our guide was named Cloud (pronounced CLODE) So my guess they pronounce Ch'od as chode because, French. But Robo pronouncing it as Ch'od is more family friendly, since CHODE is another name for weiner. 🤷
Let’s talk generation x. I love this version on Monet because I feel this team is more iconic than Maddox x-factor. But I’ll take that team too. Speaking of which. #CompleteTeams2023. Let’s make it a movement
Sometimes I wonder what comics robo is currently reading if he’s still reading comics. If he has any thoughts about recent events or stories especially with X-men or something
I think a proper character instead of Fand should have been Banshee with his green outfit because he wad a teacher in GenX (goes along with Monet Chamber and Emma) He is an X men (goes along with cyclops) and is a wanted character
I'm not sure why there would be a pause because of the apostrophe in his name. I can't think of any word or name in real life or fiction where the apostrophe means you add a pause when saying it out loud.
To be fair.. who would knowingly name their character Ch'od and want people to pronounce it chode? Cha-odd sounds cooler and doesn't make me have to stifle a laugh every time it's said. Whoa, 5:48 is the first time I've seen a figure actually fall down when Robo says it has trouble standing, usually they're really good about making him look like a liar.
Not exactly my Era of X-Men here. Cyclops and Emma certainly are but the restrictive cape and the single jointed elbows make it a pass. Cyclops might be a pickup but we'll see. Chamber I was gonna get to be a civilian but knowing he has those outdated Coulson ankles are disappointing.
You know Robo makes good content when you can listen him talk about an entire wave you have no interest in. This is the best toy channel. Bar none.💕🔥
No interest in the wave and don’t regularly collect marvel legends. Yet I’ll always tune in to listen to Robo
Exactly how I feel!
His enthusiasm is compelling, even contagious.
😂 Absolutely zero.
Yes, I feel the same way. Th only figure I want is Cyclops. But Robo makes sitting through a half hour video about figures and characters I don't really care about super entertaining.
Corsair reminds me of Ben Stiller from Dodgeball. LOL "No one makes me bleed my on blood!" :D
And now I cant unsee it 😂

your artistic vision strengthens with your new editing skills... keep going!!!!!
Fang should have come with a Daken head. Also, I removed Kid Omega's granny glasses and glued on an extra set of Jubilee visor that I had. Looks much better! Nice wave over all though. Lot of variety.
Ooo, has Daken wore this costume? That would have been cool.
@@TheFwoosh Yup, he had a variation of it in the latest Marauders series I think.
Just looked it up, may have to do that, although I think I like the mohawk more than the man bun.
@@TheFwoosh Definitely mohawk >>>manbun! 🙂
Great reviews. This announcement sent me down a rabbit hole learning about Monet with Gen X. Now I’m a fan.

Idc what others say, this wave is pretty awesome!
I hope they make the rest of the star jammers
Robo is right about the pronunciation of Ch'od, just like he's right about Storm wearing black. 👍
For kid Omega, this body is perfect for Miles and nightcrawler simple legs and arm swap with a vest peal and transfer which works perfectly, like it was meant to be
I'm still planning on using the longshot body to upgrade chamber.
Your editing keeps improving!! Great to see!
Didn’t realize until this video that Ch’od uses the Rhino BAF body.
Yup. Abom used the base, but Hasbro altered it some, then altered it again for Ch’od.
Got this wave yesterday and the lack of accessories is just really on the nose for the price. Not only that but my Emma is missing her second set of hands. I wanted to enjoy these figures but just found myself feeling a type of buyer’s remorse over how little bang I got for my buck.
“same crotch because…. genetics” i freaking love you robo. thanks for consistently making my day better 🤜🏼
How dare you not care about the animated series lol its my favorite cartoon of all time 🤣 😂
I would imagine "Chuh-Odd" is also just more, uhh, dignified than being called "chode".
Robo is not a reviewer.. is an overviewer.. and Watu is watching him..
I forget who put the idea in my head, maybe Jay and Miles Xplain the X-Men, but I've taken to pronouncing Ch'od with the Hebrew "ch" sound.
I'm just waiting on Emma and Omega still. And planning on swapping the Chamber legs with Fury this weekend myself.
Enjoyed the review Robo!
Robo, I love your squat green chod. Looking nice 😅
Joke aside, great review as always!
I love this guy so much he just has everything labelled and very organised
Damn the wrapped alternate head is so obvious, but I didn't even think of it until Robo said it. But Hasbro has taught me to have my expectation to the floor. I hope we see the wrapped head on alternate body in the maroon costume like the rest of Gen X.
Big thanks for the English lesson in the beginning there, Robo, haha😆😆😆

Isn’t he one of D’ken’s bastards?

I can't wait for Fang he is going to look great with my other Wolverine rouges!
I love your pronunciation! It works like Teal'c from Stargate
Those Fang boots look like a good swap on the Training Uniform Forge for a bit of mod flair.
Found Chamber last week, took the spare head from the newish Ghost rider and the gloved hands and put them on , looks better and not so odd in the length of the arms. But that's me , I'm old , going on 55 , I like it better.
Dang, I was hoping to see you compare Astonishing Cyclops to your custom this time around
I'm used to see Monet as the twins
Corsair and Fang for me. Then it’s off to the fodder bin to craft a CH…odd. That’s how I pronounce it too. The Chamber body is tempting. I never really read the comics with Chamber or Monee. (Sorry Rich M) It’s a cool looking figure but I needs funds for Joes.

Ch’od from Abom with Juggy’s be,t. It’s too loose.
Chamber from 90s Morbius and …Ult.Goblin fire effect? I forget which head I used, but it just hangs around his neck.
(I think everybody tried the Forge/Corsair custom? I skipped it.)
Chamber and Monet go with Massachusetts Academy headmasters Banshee and Emma (in a white version of M’s costume) for GenX. Sean alternated between green and blue, and in later issues, wore a Celtics jacket over his uniform.
Quentin, I would try the BoneBreaker head for him (or Fang-Daken?), repainting his Mohawk.
Use the chamber torso and the longshot legs and you have a pinless ghost rider body for now
That's a good idea!
This wave is better than the past few but Hasbro prices are still just barely too much for what they are
I appreciate your channel
I like the monet I'm glad the hairs thin and pretty flexible because you can just bend it up and tilt the head back for flying poses.
Also Quentin 's face sculpt reminds me of Tom holland.
Ive been getting waves on clearance i can see most of this wave on clearance at target in about a month when the summer releases start dropping
Emma is starting to hit, but I haven’t seen any others in this wave, yet.
Hell, mine only have Strucker and Cap in Puff Adder wave. 🙄
And at least four Teraze Haute(?) warming pegs at each. 😂

The belt on Cho'd is Juggernaut BAF reuse, right?
No, that has a completely different buckle.
No, because I did a quickie custom using Abom with Juggy’s belt, years ago. His belt is too lose on Abom waist.
Maybe if they tightened it up a bit?
Hum! Fang head could make a custom Lak Sivrak the Wolfman in the cantina from Star Wars a new hope.... 🤔
Just got the new Doc Ock today that thing is awesome
A nice review but I will say this wave was really chopped up for my a outsider to the x men although since you mentioned it that kid omega could make a great base for a custom
Try the target exclusive biker Punisher legs on Chamber for more options
Your custom Beak is sweet.
What parts is your custom Omega made from?
Did you notice the box art for Omega features hands he doesn't have?
I love Robo...the "Mr. Garrison" of the figure collection community!

You can call him whatever you want Robo it's no problem. Hell I've been calling him Chris for the longest lol 😆
kid omega gonna be such a good fodder fig
What about the Hugh Jackman Wolverine legs for Ol’ Lava Beard? Or even the Fox Magneto legs.
Hmmm, maybe.
I feel like the Hugh jackman legs are too tall but idk
I think the Toybiz Abomination is a little bigger in scale to the Hasbro one, maybe you could create a bigger Ch'od with him?
There was definitely an older comic where the Abomination was launched into space, then came back issues later accompanied by space-based characters, and for years I always assumed that Ch'od was just that same thing.
I always think of M and Chamber with Generation X team. You could have shown them with Emma Frost, Banshee, Jubilee & Synch
What Synch? And like I said, I never read Generation X.
I'm not a fan of this look for Quentin Quire, and I *know* the context. It's just... boring. Even as an X-Force outfit, it's not like anyone else on his team is wearing a stealthy outfit.

While watching Robo take a look at Corsair, did anyone else think that head sculpt is a dead ringer for Dwight (Ben Stiller) from Dodgeball?
Cha odd lol 😂 I love the sarcasm when you say it just to mess we peoples
@robo Just FYI…Carol Danver’s Binary (Walmart figure) was a former member of the Star Jammers.
That's true, but I like to keep them to the classic core group. And...I didn't get that figure, dang it, haha.
