Yo XManny The presentation is one of the best things MCU has ever put out. This coming from someone who also wasn't looking forward to watching it because of the Black n White ... No excessive cussing but it's good 💪🏿
I still think the BAF is better than this, it has a way better head sculpt and better paint like you said. The new one severely lacks in paint with some parts going completely unpainted. But you know, it's Man-Thing, so it's still super cool in its own right.
100 percent watch it. A color version was added too that really adds a fun factor and helps build out some of the supernatural MCU stuff! Amazing practical effects too!
Awesome! Some friends texted me that there was a color version too. So I might be in. But they told me that there is a special scene for the black and white only.
I’m actually excited for this figure because mainly “Werewolf by Night” was the only MCU project (minus the Guardians holiday special) not to get figures since 2022. I think it was because of the black and white vintage style (minus the ending & post credit scene) they used for the show and Hasbro decided to wait for a whole full color version to be released which they did. I didn’t really notice the bad paint work until you mentioned it. But I might paint it to make it more accurate that’s what I’m planning when I make a General Ross and live action Prowler.
When Rektangular announced this I was excited because I thought we were getting a rerelease of the comic BAF, but seeing this I'm in the disappointed camp. The MCU Man-Thing takes away a lot of the cooler design choices that I like about the comic version. I am either going to have to eBay some Man-Thing Baf parts to kitbash or skip it and wait for something down the line.
The special presentation was a fun watch and I think there's a color version on Disney + now I didn't watch it colorized but the B+W version was perfectly cheesey and just plain fun to watch....lots of easter egg fun and the Manthing bits...while not long enough were good. End of the day I think you'll enjoy it and even if it ain't your thing its not like its 3hrs long or anything
This looks pretty good, and I would definitely like to get it, but the BAF is superior in every way. I keep hoping Marvel Select will make a Man-Thing, and he'll be huge and super comic accurate.
man, 7 years since I started collecting Marvel Legends. I remember the Marvel knights wave was the first wave I saw. besides the Spider-Man Homecoming wave. my first two Marvel Legends ever were tech suit Spider-Man & Netflix Daredevil.
Hoping this means Werewolf is coming, guessing we'll get color and black n white versions when they release him. If I didn't have the baf I'd get this one, pretty solid release, but I like the baf better.
considering i never got the comic version. i'll be getting this. regardless of less paint or not. i do have the comic book head peice so i wonder if the heads are swapable.
Xmanny - thanks for saying what you did - I have the BAF and when I saw the promo picks I was thinking of how much money I am saving. There is no allure to the new one that would consider it an upgrade from the BAF. If I may suggest you wait until Halloween to watch Werewolf. You will not be disappointed. Happy Birthday Sir.
LOVE X-Men vs Street Fighter! I have the exclusive edition 1up arcade from a few years ago that has children of the atom, marvel superheroes, and punisher. Looks great in my man cave/collectables room! ... I'm jealous that the newer ones have all these other great games that I love on one console! ...I need to convert mine into an emulator and just put every game on it!
Corporate apologists infuriate me. For $40 there is absolutely no excuse for cheaping out on the paint. The lack of paint makes the figure look kinda flat. Some paint would have added depth and improved the overall presentation of the figure. Easy pass for me.
We got the $25 Monster Venom and Thanos just a few years ago. Now they are giving us these super inflation figures with barely any improvements for $40.
Sold my BAF last year expecting a new Man-Thing even before Rektangular's leaks. I got it second-hand for a decent price and even though he came with ToyBiz's Toad's Swamp diorama, the (Man-)Thing was just too loose for my taste and the head, despite being the classic design, always seemed too small and/or positioned too high on the toy. Funny you mention paint apps, because that was another gripe I had with the BAF - technically had a lot of paint, but all those vines and mushrooms just blended into the design. Now, the new one has better proportioned head (would have preferred the original's eyes), extra fists, better shoulders, forearms and shins, actually painted mushrooms and vines... But I'll wait for a sale. It's a minor character from a minor MCU production - bound to go down in price considerably sooner rather than later. With some light drybrushing it should be my (almost) ideal Man-Thing.
I have the comic version bafc and toy biz. I can see this being clearance like modok, Ronan, ext. I'll play the waiting game and pick him up later for the extra parts
If it does go on clearance and you can get a good deal on it then go for it. I can’t predict when things will go on sale so I’m not relying on it. Sometimes they don’t go clearance. But we’ll see.
And if you take a closer look at the knees, you'll see that they're upside-down on the new figure. Wouldn't be surprised if this gets a rerelease in black and white.
I never did finish the baf. TRU was liquidating and despite the wall of Punisher and Daredevil i just thought theyd be easily avialable and slept on them too long. I think Id need blade too. As much as thats high on my need to complete list, the MCU changes arent really for me.
Price automatically went down with the reveal of this offering. BAF is going for no more than 40 bucks. Great for those who missed out on the BAF. Since I have the BAF I’ll be passing on this, not needed . Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎉
Complaining about paint when you haven't seen the color version is crazy... Naw but you ain't wrong a little extra paint some wash or some dry brush of a different shade of green would make this pop
I don't like it. My thinking after hearing the leak it was coming was they'd either reissue the original baf maybe with new paint apps if it was a comic book version or do an all new MCU accurate body sculpt like they do for 98% of MCU Legends. Instead, they offer us this thing with lame retooling of those old baf parts, which does not look screen accurate & just doesn't get it done for me. Even the more accurate MCU head sculpt just looks off on this body. His standing proportion looks more like Swamp Thing than the lumbering Man-Thing. As a long-time Manny fan, I'm very disappointed & feel like this is just another poorly designed money grab from Hasbro. :(
Gotcha. I’ll definitely watch the werewolf by night special to get more of an idea on what you are talking about. I’m sure you are right. If I know they are reusing a comic base body for a movie figure than 90% of it can’t be accurate lol
@Xmanny87 I think you'll like the show as it's one of the better offerings from Marvel the past couple years & as others noted, there is a color version available. Peace, Xmanny!!!✌️
Really disappointed that hascrap didn't use an updated build for the body. I'm on a ledge right now staring down at passing traffic, contemplating hascrap's involvement in my current situation. Wondering why hascrap makes so many disappointing choices. Like the $ for the superadaptoid. Super crappy 💩
Werewolf by night has a colorful version on Disney plus just to let you know
Oh thanks, I didn’t even know that myself
@@ccarreon yeah they released it a year after the original one
Even though it’s an MCU figure, I still like that man thing is getting some love
I feel that
@@Xmanny87there’s a version of werewolf by night in color and it’s a good show man give it a watch
I prefer the BAF one. I like the comic-accurate head much more. A shame he was never released as a standalone.
Same here the BAF is the ONE !!!
Yo XManny The presentation is one of the best things MCU has ever put out.
This coming from someone who also wasn't looking forward to watching it because of the Black n White ... No excessive cussing but it's good 💪🏿
It would’ve been cooler if we would’ve got werewolf by night and the human form 2 pack before this…. But still nice
That might get a standard or 3 pack release with Elsa Bloodstone.
I still think the BAF is better than this, it has a way better head sculpt and better paint like you said. The new one severely lacks in paint with some parts going completely unpainted. But you know, it's Man-Thing, so it's still super cool in its own right.

Hell yeah....definitely preordering Man-Thing this Thursday. He looks sic 💯%. He may be a MCU but he has comic appeal. Gonna sell the BAF for sure.
Happy Belated Birthday, bro! Awesome arcade present! Hope you do a review on it if you can find the time to stop playing all the games on it 😂
Thanks man!
I'm happy for you Xmanny. Those games are excellent and the cab should look great. I love Capcom's take on the Marvel characters.
Thanks man! I’m so stoked!
Don't know if you saw my Man-Thing custom on the Swamp Thing body, but this new head sculpt is gonna look great on it. 😃
Much prefer the old one, much better paint applications and wash. Prefer the head as well. But imo.
You are entitled to it. I think the BAF is better too.
When Rektangular announced this I was excited because I thought we were getting a rerelease of the comic BAF, but seeing this I'm in the disappointed camp. The MCU Man-Thing takes away a lot of the cooler design choices that I like about the comic version.

Damn. Hope you can get the BAF somehow.
Happy Birthday and Congratulations on the arcade 1up!
Thanks bro

Bet! Awesome. I’ll have to check it out.
This looks pretty good, and I would definitely like to get it, but the BAF is superior in every way. I keep hoping Marvel Select will make a Man-Thing, and he'll be huge and super comic accurate.
Hopefully you get your wish
It would also be amazing to have figures of Scarab, Werewolf, Elsa Bloostone, Echo, Modok, Abominable (new look) and also High Revolutionary
I can see a new Abomination
man, 7 years since I started collecting Marvel Legends. I remember the Marvel knights wave was the first wave I saw. besides the Spider-Man Homecoming wave. my first two Marvel Legends ever were tech suit Spider-Man & Netflix Daredevil.
Love it!!! Now we need Jack Elsa and of course Werewolf by Night!!!
Hoping this means Werewolf is coming, guessing we'll get color and black n white versions when they release him. If I didn't have the baf I'd get this one, pretty solid release, but I like the baf better.
The BAF is better in every way
Tbh I like the black and white version a lot I think it’s amongst peak mcu it felt like a breath of fresh air
You probably already seen this a lot in the comments, but there is a colored version of werewolf by night and it’s still just as good
I did. Lol. But I’m hearing there’s a special scene for black and white only
considering i never got the comic version. i'll be getting this. regardless of less paint or not. i do have the comic book head peice so i wonder if the heads are swapable.

Thanks man! Sure it’s a great film to watch during spooky season.
Wearwolf by Knight is worth the watch. They also released a colored version last fall. 🐺
I really wish they would have included the Punisher game in that 1up arcade. At the very least for completions sake.
That would’ve been nice. That was a really fun game
LOVE X-Men vs Street Fighter! I have the exclusive edition 1up arcade from a few years ago that has children of the atom, marvel superheroes, and punisher. Looks great in my man cave/collectables room!

Tell me about it. $40 is just too much to leave out too much paint.
We got the $25 Monster Venom and Thanos just a few years ago. Now they are giving us these super inflation figures with barely any improvements for $40.
I like my Baf too much. Hard pass for me
The BAF is cool!

Really wished they would’ve made a new LARGER, Man-Thing this time. 😔
That’s what I was hoping for
She isn't cursing a lot and she doesn't have her red hair..but she is still pretty cool. The show is awesome and in colour it pops.
Only werewolf by night figure so far was from the toy biz marvel legends monsters set.
I have the comic version bafc and toy biz. I can see this being clearance like modok, Ronan, ext. I'll play the waiting game and pick him up later for the extra parts
If it does go on clearance and you can get a good deal on it then go for it. I can’t predict when things will go on sale so I’m not relying on it. Sometimes they don’t go clearance. But we’ll see.
Damn I have the baf. But there are elements of this new one that I really like. 🤔 just may have to kit bash.
So happy to finally have some Werwolf by Night figures. Hope we get a Werewolf announced soon.
I’m sure we’ll get more. Maybe in a new Disney+ wave
@@Xmanny87 I hope this leads to a whole Monsters wave. Comic book WBN, Living Mummy, Franeknsteins Monster etc
And if you take a closer look at the knees, you'll see that they're upside-down on the new figure. Wouldn't be surprised if this gets a rerelease in black and white.
Oh shoot
I would like to see classic Mephisto in marvel legends
If they release Wolfman and Elsa I could see black and white repaints.
I never did finish the baf. TRU was liquidating and despite the wall of Punisher and Daredevil i just thought theyd be easily avialable and slept on them too long. I think Id need blade too. As much as thats high on my need to complete list, the MCU changes arent really for me.
This gives me hope that maybe they will re release Zabu as a non BAF someday
Price automatically went down with the reveal of this offering. BAF is going for no more than 40 bucks. Great for those who missed out on the BAF. Since I have the BAF I’ll be passing on this, not needed . Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎉
Yes, you should watch it, it's good
When are we gonna start hearing about the next haslab. Honestly just hope it’s doom I’m tired of wishing for a dumb vehicle.
I just completed the BAF😂 One for the Thunderbolts and on for the Midnight Sons 😂
I’m so getting him
Cool!
Well, after Skaar, and maybe Zabu and Thor Herald of Galactus
rip my wallet
Neverending battle
I like this new ones head/face and some color but he’s built weird fs, easy pass for me
Yeah, people keep telling me the head looks off because of the body.
Cool figure but the previous one was perfect...so why replace it ?
I just said why. Lol. Some extra money to get another figure I need in the collection. But yeah, like I said, I’ll think about it.
They could have at least have painted the roots around his face.
Yeah this is an easy pass for me I already have the BAF, I’m glad it it’s not a two pack with the Werewolf by Night figure. My wallet is so greatfull
I think they’ll save him for a future Disney+ wave
Complaining about paint when you haven't seen the color version is crazy... Naw but you ain't wrong a little extra paint some wash or some dry brush of a different shade of green would make this pop
I’ve been hoping for a new Man-Thing figure but this is a bit disappointing
Previous baf is sufficient. No need to waste money on this new one.
I don't like it. My thinking after hearing the leak it was coming was they'd either reissue the original baf maybe with new paint apps if it was a comic book version or do an all new MCU accurate body sculpt like they do for 98% of MCU Legends.

Bro, you know there's a color version of werewolf by night, right? Sik
