I'm definitely customizing em, hope we get the teleporting effect for a nightcrawler in the future otherwise it's gonna have to get a makeover as well lol.
Blink originally called these energy javelins... and the body is definitely not Hellcat reuse, it was only used once before and it’s a straight up reuse of the new Psylocke body. You can tell because of the distinct difference in where the upper torso cuts off (Kate Bishop and Hellcat bodies extend below the bust to around the rib cage) and the ab muscles in the lower torso.
@@reinerrnuestro6554, when I got there, an associate was just putting the X-Men wave on the pegs. Beast and Jubilee were short packed so that's what I figured too.
This Blink figure just became my gateway into potentially buying more Marvel Legends, prepare yourself for a paragraph or just skip to the TL;DR at the end. So I bought this Blink figure, because it looked cool and after messing around with it I got interested in learning out more about her, so I looked up the Exiles comics where this look for Blink originated.. But then things got even more complicated: I found out that Blink is the adoptive daughter of Sabertooth and it made me see a softer side of that character I hadn't seen before. Then I discovered Nocturne and was even more excited because I already like Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch and already considered getting their figures. I did more digging in the family trees and found out that a lot of my favorite characters are connected through someone's marriage or an adoption. Sabertooth is the adoptive father of Blink and had a fling with Mystique at one point. Mystique is the mother of Nightcrawler and the adoptive mother of Rogue (two of my favorite X-Men). Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch are married and their daughter is Nocturne. Scarlet Witch is the daughter of Magneto, who is also the father of Quicksilver and Polaris, but in Exiles, he also had a kid with Rogue named Magnus. Basically their family is super confusing, but almost all those characters (with the exception of Quicksilver) were figures I already considered getting. Now I wanna get the Family 3-Pack of Magneto, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, Rogue and Mystique (if I can find either for a good price or a re-release), Nightcrawler, Sabertooth (or maybe wait for an Sabertooth in his AoA suit) and then if they ever release Nocturne or Magnus I might just end up collecting them to stick next to Blink for a partially complete Exiles team, since Morph is coming out this year. *TL:DR I found out all my favorite characters are somehow related in the comics and now I want to collect them all and take a big family photo. This one figure just ruined my wallet for this upcoming year*
@@Hitme410 Fair, but still a whole wave dedicated to the thing you wanted is cool even if you get monkeys paw'd out of the characters you actually want I would mark out hard for a Generation X or Champions wave
If you want any recommended reading for Blink the most recent Exiles series was short and fun Exiles in general is what I associate her with more than anything
I bet they're gonna make an MCU X-men wave once the X-men enter the MCU and will eventually come around to making a Blink with an MCU costume. I bet all the X-men costumes will look better and more like the classic look once Marvel Studios puts them in the series. But in the meantime a Fox one would be cool.
Actually I think that portal piece looks very similar to The Professor X hover chair piece it seems like they just cut out the middle but to me it looks very similar I think it might be the same exact piece yeah I agree would have been cool to see that dagger piece
Nah, they're different. I happened to have that accessory still on the review station. Took a glance at the 2 and the little spikes on Prof X effect are much smaller and more abundant.
No it's not. This is her Exiles look. In AoA she had a much different look. Her hair was long with two braids, she didn't wear a belt, had a quiver on her back for the daggers and had an arm band and a leg band.
Bruh, she’s my third favorite figure out of the way. But yeah. QC issues will ruin a figure for me like it did for Gambit. In my ranking video I had to rank him low because of it. That’s with 2 gambit figures having the same issue. Smh
I wish her skirt wasn't perpetually blowing in the wind, so she could also be in less dynamic poses, but otherwise I really like this figure. I totally didn't buy her just because she's a purple elf or anything, oh and she looks great with bows and arrows.
I don't know why they keep making her human looking in the live action versions. They did Nightcrawler just fine and she's basically pink Nightcrawler. Especially when she makes such a fuss about her looks in the Gifted.
Blink is a character that was created for the Age of Apocalypse storyline back in the mid-90s, when Legion goes back in time to kill Prof X, so Magneto has to form the X-Men and Apocalypse wins and takes power over the earth. Those blades of hers do not control her teleportation, they are psy-blades similar to Psylocke, Dagger(ish), and the like. She has teleportation and the ability to create the blades as her power. She proved such a popular character with fans then, that when they set the Universe right and stop Legion from killing Chuck, she was able to open a portal to the regular Marvel X-Men universe. I liked the character very much, so I was stoked she continued. This figure is her more grown up version of her AOA costume. You mentioned how she was played by Asian women in the movie and show, that’s because she’s Asian, the face sculpt just doesn’t fully convey that. She’s a great figure that I’m happy to have!
they’re mafex stands but they have the smaller version of the clamp, they come with the mafex figures but usually have a bigger clamp than the one he used
Can you givs me marvel legends i dont have a marvel legends i just have one marvel legends deadpool i am from philipines and i am a big fam of your channel pleas give me just one marvel legends
Don’t know much about the character but the figure is awesome! I’d love to see her dagger/lance pieces in white for Dagger’s light daggers
I'm definitely customizing em, hope we get the teleporting effect for a nightcrawler in the future otherwise it's gonna have to get a makeover as well lol.
That’s actually the Psylocke body mold not the hellcat one
I had the chance to get her twice, but passed on her to get other figures I wanted / needed. Tough choices of life. Thanks for the review.
My favourite marvel character finally has a figure! I’ve loved this character since the ‘exiles’ comic series!
Who else started singing the full intro then realised he changed it 😂😂❤️
Found Avengers 2 pack at Target today. Also found Jubilee and Gambit at Gamestop. My Caliban collection is now complete!

The body mold they used was from the Psylocke Figure.
I found this figure at Wal-Mart today. I only had enough extra money for one figure. I almost bought this one but opted for Beast instead.
Tom Bowling I think you made the right choice. I don’t see Beast staying on the toy shelves for long.
@@reinerrnuestro6554, when I got there, an associate was just putting the X-Men wave on the pegs. Beast and Jubilee were short packed so that's what I figured too.
Tom Bowling Happy for you, man! I hope to grab those two as well first before I start getting the rest.
I'm glad I'm subscribed to you so that I know when my fav characters get figures...I LOVE Blink!!
Thank you for reviewing blink!!
Shart im sk sorry for i have sinned. I watched this video mindlessly the first time and now have to re watch the whole thing all over again.

Blink is one of my favorite mutants
"Why did you run Clarice?"
Had to... Great review, now if only they had more AoA to offer
You must be cheesin' over that new wave
@@fun2building still no "A List" (besides Jean) but it is what it is?
@@Hitme410 Fair, but still a whole wave dedicated to the thing you wanted is cool even if you get monkeys paw'd out of the characters you actually want
I would mark out hard for a Generation X or Champions wave
@@fun2building Bruh?!
A Gen X wave would be amazing! I'd like a New Mutants wave, and a New X Men wave too!
Let’s get 50 more Deadpools instead - Hasbro
It's the psylocke body mold
Really like the green on the figure and articulation
Hey dude awesome review
not the hellcat body
I tried telling him that with the psylocke review, but he kept saying it was hellcat.
You know he can’t actually listen to you through the comments, right? He already made the video.
@whataturnofevents!
Brayden Reagan I commented in that review, but he commented back saying that it was still the hellcat mold.
SUD: Well you should have been more specific!
If you want any recommended reading for Blink the most recent Exiles series was short and fun
Exiles in general is what I associate her with more than anything
same
i thumbs up when you called us gross bastards
Thumbs up for the stop motion scene. That was really cool.
Wish we'd get the 2014 Days of Future Past movie Blink instead.
Marvel has Fox/X-Men now, so why not?
I bet they're gonna make an MCU X-men wave once the X-men enter the MCU and will eventually come around to making a Blink with an MCU costume. I bet all the X-men costumes will look better and more like the classic look once Marvel Studios puts them in the series. But in the meantime a Fox one would be cool.
Never heard of blink but her look and body type is perfect to make a mystique custom👍👍👍
Great review as usual, Shartimus.
Bro I love your toy reviews man!
That pose at the end is great.
Actually I think that portal piece looks very similar to The Professor X hover chair piece it seems like they just cut out the middle but to me it looks very similar I think it might be the same exact piece yeah I agree would have been cool to see that dagger piece
Nah, they're different. I happened to have that accessory still on the review station. Took a glance at the 2 and the little spikes on Prof X effect are much smaller and more abundant.
@@ShartimusPrime thanks but doesn't seem really similar anyways love your videos keep it up plus good luck with your new baby
I need her for my collection, I might get 2 and make a Raven figure
Bing-Bing & Chung!?
Cool, she was played by Ada Wong and Not-Chichi.
Thats a sweet final pose, I'd never thinknto go vertical...
Those pink daggers look good for a halo needler, maybe stick em in an enemy
Not the Hellcat mold bro.
Are you gonna review the Spider-Man and Kraven two pack?
I wish we would have got a AoA version of Blink instead. I believe this is her look from Exiles which I've never read.
This is her AoA look.
No it's not. This is her Exiles look. In AoA she had a much different look. Her hair was long with two braids, she didn't wear a belt, had a quiver on her back for the daggers and had an arm band and a leg band.
@@Toxic_Fate They rarely make action figures that accurate. This is her AoA look.
I picked up Blink and Beast at Wal-Mart the other day.
Is this Fate?,I was just looking her up THANK YOU.
Bruh, she’s my third favorite figure out of the way. But yeah. QC issues will ruin a figure for me like it did for Gambit. In my ranking video I had to rank him low because of it. That’s with 2 gambit figures having the same issue. Smh
this review was the freaking best
Wish they would’ve used the daggers for Dagger as well
I love Blink as a character but damn... I want to pick her up just to do a quick custom and turn her into my nelf Druid in WoW.
I have her got her yesterday lol
Same
You my sister
I hope we get more age of apocalypse figures.
Her name is weird but she's actually kinda cool
I wish her skirt wasn't perpetually blowing in the wind, so she could also be in less dynamic poses, but otherwise I really like this figure. I totally didn't buy her just because she's a purple elf or anything, oh and she looks great with bows and arrows.
I want it!!! I just bought Exiles Trades at Free Comic Boy Day!!!!
I don't know why they keep making her human looking in the live action versions. They did Nightcrawler just fine and she's basically pink Nightcrawler. Especially when she makes such a fuss about her looks in the Gifted.
AWESOME
hi, you should do an unboxing of marvel legends 2 pack of the kraven's last hunt
I am a gross bastard and I’m not ashamed.🤣
JC 3 😂
WHEN YOU GOING 4K?
Hey what do you guys think the best Hasbro wave is???
Man was she hard to find!
Guys my mom just bought me the new gambit and infamous iron man figures cause I’m special she said so 😂
Read age of apocalypse comics she's in the comic's
Is this the Age of Apocalypse design?
You're amazing guys!!!!
Great vid man
The past tense of blink should be blank, blunk or, blought
Love it
Finally Blink!!!
Did anyone else notice at 4:40 that the belt is backwards? Does he flip the video only for the measurements sections so the numbers aren't backwards?
Are you going to review marvel legends infamous iron man
Awesome Review🎥🎬
its the psylocke body mold i think
The only time we've seen this mold is with psylocke
Nice Looking figure
Can someone please let me know where Doss Shartimus gets his figure stands from
Niceee
Great video
Despite being portrayed by Asian-Americans in film, according to the comics Blink is actually ethnically black, from the Bahamas.
Very nice 👌

She’s a great figure that I’m happy to have!
This character was really only interesting during the original AoA storyline. Wish the head would’ve at least matched that version.
review infamous iron man
Finaly
Luckily, this is another RUclips video
Where do you get your stands from? I NEEEEED SOME
they’re mafex stands but they have the smaller version of the clamp, they come with the mafex figures but usually have a bigger clamp than the one he used
I recommend buying a dragon ball effects because the one that came with this kit sucks.
I prefer the actress from Days of Future Past.
She's Bad-Ass!!!
I love she
Hey I'm Early!!!!!

Not enough accessories? Get a grip dude, a typical pretentious review.
