Had to come back to this evergreen classic video (too soon to be "classic?"). I just love the chill vibe of just you and the camera, Dave. Your shows are the best on YT, and I think you should add these stripped down versions as a nice compliment to your standard format from time to time.
Great to finally see the entire Ben obsession after seeing snippets of it in the background. I don't think there's any character I'm obsessed with to get a ton of non-action figure merch too. Though I do have a lot of versions of Optimus Prime.
hi dave! lately, ive been collecting so much spiderman from different brands cuz he's my fav. i actually just got the ben reilly from the retro wave and love it. Get well soon!
My character-focused display is Daredevil. Like you said, I’m not a completionist, by I’m happy with the ones I have and will pick up more if I see them for unreasonably low prices.
This was very cool! It's always great to see the older toys revisited. I thought I was happy having Spider-Man represented with a couple of figures (Hasbro Retro-card Spidey and black suit variant) in my collection, but then I convinced myself that a single Ben Reilly would be acceptable (latest retro release)... And now (thank you, Dave!), I've just placed an order for the Beyond Corporation variant... Maybe it's an "under-dog" thing (which clones always are by their very nature), but I now find the prospect of collecting more versions of Reilly far more exciting than I do Parker... Anyways, great video! I love seeing all those older Toybiz figures getting some love. 😃
Do you think that old Hobgoblin Pumpkin Bomber would work with the animated series retro Marvel Legends Hobgoblin? Because if it would then I may have to track one down.
Retro Sensational Spider-Man drives me nuts. The awful periwinkle blue. The undersized eyes. The pins. The lack of toe joints. The awful neck joint. UGH We need an upgrade to that ASAP.
I collect Nova (Richard Rider) figures. (NOT the black helmet NINO (Nova In Name Only) Sam Alexander from Titus wave) In the Thanos Imperative Nova had to take back all the energy called the Nova Force (which powered the members of the Nova Corps) before he went into the Cancerverse to trap Thanos. He had an arm blown off and sent Starlord back to the main universe before using the entirety of the Nova Force to seal the portal. Marvel then launched the NINO series where Sam Alexander's dad was a member of the black helmeted novas. His dad goes missing but leaves his black helmet behind, which Sam tries on weeks or months later and gets Nova powers?!?! How was this possible IF the REAL Nova had taken all the Nova Force with him to seal the Rift to the Cancerverse?!?! Aaaarrrggghhh Marvel, at least get the writers on the new series to read what happened before! And of course, they make the NINO so good at being NINO with NO fecking training. I cannot tell you how much I despise the trope of taking an established character and destroying them solely to push a diverse (and perfectly capable with NO development required or wanted) replacement which bombs completely (eg Ms Marvel, NINO to name a couple)
What is your reasoning for why Ben Riley is your most fave Spider-Man? e.g. costume, ability, character, his original and story run. I'm getting into him because of you. I don't like you for that, Especially after you featured him on one of your old posts. 😂 Thanks Dave!
Lol I first started reading comics right at the start of the clone saga so I was introduced to him right at the beginning and Marvel intentional wrote him to be cooler and more likeable than Peter. It worked!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour I would probably order one if I didn't suspect that we were getting a Haslab Ecto-1, and.... Gods forbid I have to buy two of them if it comes with the options to make an Ecto-1A..... And then whatever the fuck Marvel Legends is doing as it Haslab this year.... I don't know how I'm going to squeak by with the Haslab situation. Lol Hopefully Marvel Legends does something that truly just doesn't matter. Like the Danger Room, or...I don't know. A Punisher van, I guess. It's scarily hard too imagine them actually putting the effort into anything that I DON'T want.
I love Ben so much, it's so nice to finally start seeing love given to him.
Kaine is a repaint of an old Marvel Gold Captain Marvel. I used to use those figures a LOT for customs, and I recognize the hands. :)

Been lookin forward to this for a long time! Happy to see Ol' Normy made the trip from England, too. Love ya, Dave!
19:42 Is Ben Riley doing the Attack on Titan salute lol
Love to see Dave geek out
Thank you for this as a lifelong Ben Reilly fan, Dave!
7:30 That Scarlet Spider was from a Spider-man themed Mystery Minis set by Funko
Just popped in for the final minutes of the premiere! Great video - as a fellow Ben Reilly fan, you passion for the character came shining through!
The Crossover we all need!!
Dude your toy box videos definitely inspired this!

That Kaine was a repaint of Iolaus from the Sorbo Hercules. I believe it's even his head. Love the Ben love.
not a bigger ben reilly fan then you Dave! fire collection
hi dave! lately, ive been collecting so much spiderman from different brands cuz he's my fav. i actually just got the ben reilly from the retro wave and love it. Get well soon!
Dave…….did you EVEN prep anyone on such a video of the Ben sorts……!?!!
Haha much love. I hope they release a RYV Sensational version soon!

I’ve somehow ended up with a small collection of about 30 harlequins. And Back in the 90s I was pretty much picking up any comic that had venom in it.

I think that’s what it is. Everyone loves an underdog!
Get well soon, Dave xxx.
You've amassed quite the collection in Japan!!! How have you been managing space? I know that Japanese apartments aren't very big
Honestly for me its been Iron Man on and off, ive had so many Iron Men from different lines, breaks my heart that ive sold them over the years
Argghhh back to work from lunch in 5 minutes going to have to save this to watch later. Have a good day Dave.
Hope you enjoyed it dude!

Be careful with that old Spider-Carnage. Those fingers are prone to breaking off.
I don’t really collect marvel legends as much anymore but I’d buy a whole wave if they did the clone saga
Dude, I completely forgot overpower was a thing
Marvel certainly tried to make it a thing!
This is what ben reilly deserved
The kane figure is a repaint of a hercules legendary adventure toy. Its the character Iolaus.
Ah note that makes sense!
Retro Sensational Spider-Man drives me nuts.
The awful periwinkle blue.
The undersized eyes.
The pins.
The lack of toe joints.
The awful neck joint.
UGH
We need an upgrade to that ASAP.
I love your geekeeness
Who do I have to fight to get Hasbro to do a big awesome Marvel Legends Wing Bomber and the Animated Series Hobgoblin to go with it?
Love your videos
Thanks brother!
Smart reuse of the mafex
Also, out of context... how do you keep lean and cut; besides working out and exercising?
I'm in my 50's and I could use some tips.
Thanks!
💪🏽
Hey thanks for asking man. I hate to say it but quitting drinking was the best thing I did. Alcohol ages you big time (And adds a lot of calories!).
@DisplayingModelBehaviour
I appreciate it, Dave, thank you!
Cheers 🍻
😳
Ooops!
😁
DOCTOR FUCKING DOOM!!!!!!!

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour reasonable 🥰 thanks for replying 👍🏼
What is that Optimus Prime?
Kinda looks like a weijiang one. Looks awesome
Lewin studios. He’s unofficial but amazing!
@@DisplayingModelBehaviour Hmmm 🤔 How broke should I be?
