    The thing is there hasn’t been a classic Giant Man in 20+ years. If you’re trying to do a Classic Avengers display, it’s a must have. If you’re a big fan of Marvel Zombies, Giant Man was easily one of the biggest antagonists of that series. I do wish that this Giant Man Haslab at least came with a 6 inch version of himself.

      If the tiers were 6 inch figures, the cost would like be 250. I'm fine getting this at 200 and the figure that would have been tiers can be done separately.
      I hope they announce a wave of figures to support the project in the way they announced the fantastic 4 retro wave of the house of x wave.

      I wonder how many more backers this would have generated if they put the 6 inch Giant Man and/or the Wasp out before the Haslab was announced? I mean, we would have already had those figures BEFORE and I know that would have compelled other collectors to back this.

    Blows my mind how much your photoshop elevates the figure.
    You're absolutely right, that at $200 for a 24" figure is good enough and he's done well enough that I'll back it, but that's mostly because this might be the last decent chance to get a Giant Man that's larger than 6". Even still, they're already got to build this from scratch anyway and it doesn't cost them any more to do it right, so I wish they just got it more right.
    To me, this basically looks like a 24" Vulcan.

  • @tomtudorweaver1078
    @tomtudorweaver1078 Год назад +7

    I don't do Haslabs. Out of my budget range, not enough space for them, and honestly I'd be hard pressed to think of a character I like enough to spend that much on a figure of them, and if I did I think I'd be more concerned about maintaining it than just enjoying it as part of my collection. It is always interesting hearing the discussion though.
    For me I don't see any appeal in the extra tier heads. To me they should be something that can accompany the figure, that they can interact with, not a replacement piece that isn't really useful or appealing outside of that which people will throw in a box. I'm sure they have their fans but we've had so few zombie characters or Skrull characters, another smaller figure of some form I think would've been better, heck throw in that weird first form Ultron where he's a big tube, that'd be unique and isn't highly sought after.
    Also the regular alternate heads look a little disturbing to me, the smiling and angry head both look a little crazed rather than happy or angry, not necessarily a negative just what I get out of it.
    As always your renders are impressive, but especially here. It really shows just how thin and slouchy the original, and to an extent most other Marvel Legends are. From the side they look like a pancake and from the front it looks like they're slightly bobble-headed and drooping their overly small shoulders. Adjusting those things I think would to a lot.
    For me I've hit burnout with Marvel Legends, I've picked up just four this year, a lot less than last year, and I'm just tired of seeing more of the same with just a new head in a lot of cases. McFarlane have their faults but I feel like there's a little more character to some of their sculpts at least, and they're more affordable.

In fact, I’ve barely gotten any this past year but I’m backing two of these because I want a huge Giant Man and I also LOVE Marvel Zombies ( I know the zombie head isn’t accurate to the comics but it’s close enough that I can do some simple work to get it there).
    I think the value for what we’re getting here with all the inflation and crap we’ve been dealing with is great, especially compared to standard Marvel Legends.

It's crazy how better it looks in the adjusted version! That's why proportions and anatomy is so important, it's not a small detail. It's an essential detail.
    I really like the textured details and black shading on the figure tho. But those hands are just ginormous. Like... Objectively.

  • @AlxCVFX
    @AlxCVFX Год назад +4

    I’m not super turned off by the price, I believe anything between 130 and 200 would’ve been acceptable for the size, but as you said, no accessories is kind of a turn off, especially for it being a giant Marvel Legends with just an extra normals layer of cloth texture. Easy accessory idea: a crushed Ultron-Sentry bot, easily retool any of their Ultron molds into a mashed potato and there you go. That would’ve been actually cool enough to consider a purchase.
    Another thing that turns me off, is just the sheer size, idk about you guys but my 6inch display ain’t that tall. Would feel really weird to have him in a crouching position behind the rest of the Avengers. I learned the hard way that space is a very important factor when I got Galactus and a 20 inch Optimus Prime. Very expensive purchases that I just ended up leaving in the box since I don’t have room for them.
    Yes, room can be arranged… but that’s an extra, more significant expense that would involve rearranging my whole collection… which is time I don’t have… bla bla bla, I’m sure some of you will sympathize with me.

    I have no dog in this fight as I couldn't care less about HasLabs, but it seems to me that Hasbro has already done better this time around as the discussion is centered more on the merits of the product as opposed to the price. With the car before, it was pretty evident that Hasbro was baking the cost of the tiers into the upfront cost because it was exceptionally difficult to go out and find a comparable product that was in the neighborhood of that price point. With this one, a 200 dollar two foot figure is not egregious. Mondo charges more than that for quarter scale figures. They also come with a ton of accessories and are loaded with paint, but still, it's at least comparable and I'm guessing most think Mondo's prices are too high anyway. With this one, it's at least conceivable the tiers are added profit being reinvested, though it's probably not 100%. It's certainly a point of discussion on if they're any good, but again, then you're discussing the more subjective merits of the product. I'm guessing if you're into Marvel Legends and wanted a 2 foot tall Giant Man to replace that old Toy Biz one then you're probably excited to get this and you'll probably be content when it comes out.

    It's not worth $200.00. $150.00 would be more appropriate. That aside, it just shows there's no reason to have a crowdfunding kickstarter scheme for a company like Hasblo, which is a multibillion dollar corporation. Far as additional figures go, people are saying more figures would increase the price. But hasbo has been saying all along that the BASE figure is really what you're paying for, so figures don't matter. No, we didn't want figures locked behind their pay gate, but for this one he should have at least had a 6" accompanying figure.

    I still think the best crowdfunding project by far has been the Spawn one. The articulation on that thing isn't that great but at least Todd kept adding extra stuff and it actually feels like a collectible.
    With Giant Man Hasbro just said "Fk it, this is all you get" lol.
    I think the price is kinda fair, the Toy Biz goes for about $200-$300, at least in my country.
    This is definitely a nice upgrade from that one, but heck, it could be way better.
    I asked on twitter if they were lying about the amount of articulation and then realized the same thing you said: They are counting every swiveling and hinging part to reach that number.
    I don't know if that's the way to count articulation or not because the DC Multiverse figures are advertised as having 21 points and if we count then the same way Hasbro does with Giant Man these end up with more than 30 points. it's kind of a scumbag move from Hasbro.

    Can we all start a petition to get Hasbro to hire Anthony as a consultant! I don’t understand why they can’t make a decent looking body, the low down tiny shoulders look ridiculous and it’s clearly not an issue of budget.

    I agree. I don't even think Giant-man is Haslab worthy. They just wanted an easy win. Giant-man is so basic this shouldve been a standard release at any height and pricepoint they want. This doesn't require crowdfunding.
    Hasbro has $180 Transformers retailing at Walmarts right now. It doesn't make any sense to ask for crowdfunding for a Giant-man that doesn't even have groundbreaking technology.
    Lego have plenty of legos retailing at more than the $200 price point.

    Huge missed opportunity not including a 6" or smaller figure with some kind of transforming effect like the one that came with the $10 basic Antman figure from Endgame. That said I'm in no rush, we'll see how my wallet is feeling in 40 days. I'm waiting for all the classic Avengers at Target to go on clearance.

    One thing that is tough is that it has to fit in with the existing line, so they can't NECA level paint it, or even Hot Toys level paint it, it will outshine and not match the look of the line. I don't think they can can re-engineer a whole body much past the existing line for the same reasons. That being said, they could've tweaked a few more things and more enhanced the existing articulation engineering, and found a way to add paint and details and not have it too far surpass the normal ML line. It seems in toy production sculpt and basic engineering is a single point cost, where paint depends more on people and very precise manufacturing. Hot Toys is often priced based higher on items that require more paint, and also more of everything else too. I hope it has the face paint of Modok (along with some of its body paint), along with a complete set of detail painting, and I hope the body moves well, the legs come together and arms can go it its side as well as move well, hold well, and not be too fidgeting to play with. I think Galactus was improved play over the sentinel and hopefully they continue to refine it. Thanks for your assessment AC

    We need to stop calling these a crowd fund. They've already got a prototype to photo, so they've done the tooling, this is a pre-order with a MOQ. They're using the term "crowdfund" as a hype tool, that's why they don't understand how to do stretch goals, because they don't fundamentally understand what they're using. It's buzzwords.
    And they don't need it. Mattel does all kinds of vehicles, large characters, etc, at retail, for a reasonable cost, Hasbro child if they wanted. They don't want to. They'd rather rape you directly, because then they keep all the profits. In the case of these corporate crowd funds, Walmart, Target, these places are actually our friends because they negotiate prices and establish MOQs for us. The retreat from retail into a direct to consumer model for Mattel and Hasbro means they get a much more predatory posture towards our wallets.
    Watch out for your cornholes.

    Thanks for the video Anthony. I appreciate your efforts on this one and have been waiting since last week for it. An issue that appears to be forgotten by some is the mass of the figure. The height and the weight is something that doesn't accommodate some collectors display. It dwarves the Hulk. And there is no Doomhead.

    I'm curious how dense this is. The TF Titans are roughly 19" and $200 even though they have a large production run (which lowers unit cost). Just imagine Omega Supreme coming up to his shoulders and you get an idea how big Giant-Man is. Of course TF's transform, while this has more articulation and paint.

  • @Charles_Luthor

    Debo reconocer que algunas de las fallas en las proporciones yo ya las había notado, como el tamaño de la cabeza y lo poco atlética que una figura de superhéroes debe de ser, pero la verdad no las había notado todas, como siempre tienes razón. No sé porque Hasbro, siendo que tiene todo un año para preparar estos proyectos especiales no se preocupa por hacer su mejor esfuerzo en cada aspecto, porque siendo realistas hay figuras de 6" y 12" mucho mejor esculpidas que este Giant Man. Greetings, and I'm sorry for not write my opinion in English.. but a I'm short in time and I want to say everything I think.

    @jonathanhampshire6856 Год назад +2

    Generally I think it looks pretty good. I do agree with Anthony about the proportions and the ugly toe joint. Oh and rhe humongous hands.
    The finger articulation while cool I think works better on armoured or robotic characters.
    Them skipping out on extra figures is fine with me if it keeps the cost down. They'd most likely use old bodies with new heads anyway.
    I'm sure the mask will tear if people keep swapping faceplates. A zombie head on a healthy looking body is a bit odd. The Skrull head looks decent. Why not an unmasked Hank Pym with a collar piece to represent his pulled back cowl.

  • @WiGgYof09
    @WiGgYof09 Год назад

    Im guessing Anthony didn't watch the announcement video. They flat out said the articulation count includes 29 points per hand.
    They also stated that the extra joints in the hand dont do much for the standard look, but they allow bent and twisted hands when using the zombie head. So they are oadding the numbers, but they were pretty upfront about it.

    They are just face plates, no extra heads. They should’ve made 1 tier if they wanted $200 make ant man the only tier and maybe a backdrop of him changing

  • @asgads

    You always make great points Anthony, and I always appreciate your perspective on how Marvel Legends are made!!🤨😁😏Or are oddly utterly disappointing as a whole!!😑 They make weird as decisions and the results are just as messy as the final product!!🙄The lack of paint is just lazy and always makes the figure/figures look way cheaper than what they charge!!😒At this point Hasbro never surprises me less!!😒So yet again I find myself questioning whether they are worth purchasing or not!? And yeah the result most of the time is nooo way is that worth it forget you Hasbro!!😒Not this time or on a clearance not interested!!👎You have saved me money on Marvel Legends and I am always grateful for that!!😁👍Thanks again great review Giant Man, ain't a character I care about but even so great review👏👏👏😁👍👍

    i think his sculpt details look super good. Do feel the uncanny valley face but doesnt bother me much. Not having accessories (fire hydrant or stuff like that, a car is way to big to keep in scale, dudes giant but not that giant) hurts
    I'm good with the price, I think it's a super reasonable campaign and a fair offering. Dont know if i'll get him though. Where do people put these giant dudes? Difficult to find the space for him, especially as the colection is ever expanding

    • @AnthonysCustoms

  • @whateverthisis5613
    @whateverthisis5613 Год назад

    Before i say anything I think it looks good and has a better price than expected. However i do agree on some of the sculpt stuff, the head and shoulders mainly. The hands I'd kinda like smaller but that i didn't even notice till you said it.
    i do think this is stuff they'd change if made aware and heard a large enough demand.
    Crowd funded stuff changes all the time before final product and if i remember correctly something was changed on Galactus before final product. (i think it was a sculpt thing but i don't remember)
    I'm not a big fan of hasbro, i collect good figures not one specific line. This in my opinion is a good figure (tho not perfect) and definitely worth the price.

    If I'm going to be honest I feel like a $100-$150 for the this figure would be reasonable enough, that's just me. Giant man figure is cool and all, but how many people out are fans of Giant-Man. I can see a handful of people buying this for their Avengers display, and a few more buying it's just to buy it. I don't get what hospital just doesn't release it as an avengers build a figure set for $150.

  • @trapcross
    @trapcross Год назад

    Couldn't agree more. I'm definitely the fall somewhere in the middle person. I'll back this because I'm collecting the Mafex marvel line so he will fit in there. I've pretty just done the haslabs because mefex isn't going to make a sentinel or a galactus, so I be getting this even though I agree with Anthony about what this figure actually is.

  • @chrysalid1331
    @chrysalid1331 Год назад +1

    to be honest, I love these deranged faceplates, Hank was known for not being a boyscout, he's a psycho most of the time, also he doesn't look like Cap America or Cyclops, he looks lanky, so having a buffed-up body doesn't go well with Hank, I will say that this one's a great figure, sadly paywalled through that awful HasLab model that doesn't even consider international shipping, this one's reaching $550 bucks for other countries counting double shipping and customs.
