I'm amazed they can hold the weapons that came with them. Also, gotta love the bootleggers, the 2 figs that are most agile in the films (Black Widow & Spidey) are the least articulated lol. Another great video, thank you !!!
Nick Fury actually is white. At least in the original graphic novels (and 90's cartoons he appeared in occasionally) Not that I'm complaining about the movie's casting, Mr Jackson is one of my favourite actors and his portrayal was really good.
fun fact: Nick Fury's design was inspired by samuel jackson, so casting sam as nick in the movie was either intentional or a massive, massive, massive, coincidence.
It's only been recently they have made him black. Fun fact Samuel l Jackson read the comics he was first introduced as black in and noticed they looked remarkably similar and he got his agents on the phone to secure him in any nick fury role
Captain America looks like a smaller Captain America coming out of a bigger Captain America suit, if that makes any sense. Kinda like Earthworm Jim. Just imagine his massive neck muscles are actually the smaller Captain America's shoulders.
I was trying to control my self up until 7:18 where I literally almost pissed my self for the first time in my life. This is just sadly amazingly hilarious.
white and not bald with grey streaks, bit like the kingpin i think he was black in one of the marvel films also. I didn't like the black karlton fisk (it was a shit film overall) but SLJ is one of my favourite actors and characters are redrawn and re-imagined in comics all the time so who cares imo =)
In the marvel Ultimate universe Nick Fury was modeled after Samuel L Jackson, Sam then sued Marvel for stealing his likeness. They settled it outside of court likely with a resolution that all movie versions of Nick Fury would be played by Samuel L Jackson.
I like how both the Thor figures look like different actors that played DADA teachers according to Stuart (Lockhart, plyaed by Kenneth Branagh and Lupin, played by David Thewlis).
9:39 Joseph: Jesus! Look at this I lend you my good hammer and it’s all scratched, from where you’ve been hittin’ futuristic warrior aliens I can’t trust you with anything!. Jesus: Oh shut up you’re not my real dad anyway. Joseph: Alright well why don’t you go and live with your real father, and his metaphysical sky paradise then he won’t even give his millions of followers the slightest hint he exists. So I can’t see him giving you and your mates a lift to basketball practice every Thursday night can you?! Jesus: I hate you! You don’t understand me or my music, I’m going to my room uhhh!.
And on Hawkeye, the arrow is on the wrong side. The bow is clearly shaped with an indented portion on the right side for the arrow to rest on and which brings the arrow more in alignment with the center of the bow (idk what the correct term for that feature is on bows, but it exists on many modern bows).
Only if he were using an eastern thumb ring to pull. But he uses the western three finger pull in the movies (I just checked out some screenshots from the movie) so it's correct to have the arrow rest on the opposite side of the bow due to how the string is twisted slightly by that kind of pull. In the movies apparently he does it correctly (not that it matters much I guess, since it's a superhero movie, not a historically-based war film).
Sean Glass Jack Nicholson. I actually recalled his name right after writing the comment, but i decided to leave it like that because i thought it looked funnier.
So we got: Faulk. Crap-man. Shia lewidow. V head. Spud-mun. Jacked america. Thorp. Metal-man. Lets not forget,clone hulk and clone widow! And arrow guy,i guess,along with eyepatch man.
To be fair, those LED could have been sort of a cool addition for the figured if their color and position were chosen to reflect the character's power somewhat. For instance, a couple of blue LEDs would have looked pretty neat on the Thor figure if instead of being placed at the center of his chest it would have been on the big metal disk of his armor, his Hammer or in his hand to represent his thunder and lightning power.
Say what you will about these figures, my mom bought them for me on my 10th birthday, and I loved them so much, and are part of the reason why I collect figures today. Yes, they are really shitty knockoffs but I didn't care back then! Pretty sure my mom cared when she had to buy my glasses because I blinded myself with the LED one too many times. Thank you for bringing back those happy memories.
It's taken me a while but I've finally stopped laughing at teen Jesus and his hammer of angst +5. White Nick Fury looks like a pale Benjamin Sisko from later DS9 seasons.
It looks like they ran out of heads for Thor and Black Widow and thought . HMM we don't have any proper heads left let use some of the leftover Harry Potter stuff we couldn't get rid of. Let's see Remus Lupin for Thor and Draco Malfoy for Black Widow. What was really disconcerting were the Hulk figures. I don't know which is worse the Hulk in chaps with his bum hanging out or angry Hulk in a speedo.
This is the only youtube channel with a smart man with a good sense of humor and some god damned common sense. He is also living out most of our childhood dreams being able to buy all the shitty toys from the dollar store or 99p stores. Good work ashens!
the second black widow looks like she was on a rave and had just swallowed a mystery pill handed to her by a shirtless dude when she got an urgent call from iron man and now she has to act sober fighting aliens while unknown effects slowly creep up on her
“In the comics I believe he was in the Avengers for like 12 minutes or something”
Somehow incredibly accurate
This would've been hilarious if he got to Iron Man, and he didn't have the light up feature.
yea xD i thought that was actually going to happen
More like IRONY man
Or the arc reactor under the "bulb thing"
yes XD
I was really hoping this would happen 😆
You can sure tell Ashens had a lot of fun with the whole "Thor is Jesus" gig. That inhale of enjoyment was just precious.
That Black Widow is actually Shia Lebouf.
You're right. The first model looks like Shia Leboeuf and the second one look like Willow from Buffy (Alyson Hannigan)
I would shove shias head up my shit hole
Mr. Joshua LOL
Renko Usami wrong
HAHAHA thats pretty accurate
"And the only thing he can seem to do with his hands is holding his head in agony and uhm..uhm.. Right, next!"
Ha! that part killed me kkk
Right when I read that it got to that part in the vid 😂
I just wanted to comment that! xD
Fap Daddy
that's exactly what I was about to say
Black Widow figure is Shaia LeBeouf. Look at it. It's him.
LOL
OHMAHGAWD
I know I noticed it to lol
OOHHHHHMAHGAHHHHHHHD!
,
I'm actually crying after captain America, I just lost it XD
bayli tk pls
plz no
Bailey TK Watched this hundreds of times. Still dying xD
+Bailey TK Me Too! XD That Giraffe Neck Tho! XD
nope.avi
I'm amazed they can hold the weapons that came with them. Also, gotta love the bootleggers, the 2 figs that are most agile in the films (Black Widow & Spidey) are the least articulated lol. Another great video, thank you !!!
I completely lost it at Batman, "uhh my parents are dead...", that voice LMAO xD
4:17 - "I don't know what sort of vehicle you can pilot like that."
Easy, Bruce Banner.
PFFFFFTT
7:10 - Rob Liefeld would be very proud of this figurine.
Glen Wang thank you I was waiting for a liefeld joke lol
I lost it when you turned the Captain America to the side
Same. Captain Hunchback of The Avengers 🤣
6:45 Hey look, Rob Liefeld is making action figures!
Where is shrek? Aw, you left out the best avenger.
Uncle Dunkel I'm sorry, this is entirely on a different subject, but your profile pic gets all my yeses.
PuffyRainbowCloud You are so dense.
Gandalf White Oh, please explain?
Hold the phone! Isn't Hulk Shrek???? I thought they are the same avenger but with diferent names
Uncle Dunkel I think a car is the best avenger
Since when did Pewee Herman play Black Widow?!
A long time.
+Cybermat47 he didn't, he played Ivor
+Cybermat47 The nineties were weird...
Okay there may have been crap things like Pewee Herman, but there were great things like Blind Mellon and Alice In Chains.
Looks like shia lebouf
Captain America's broken neck made me LOL
when he pulled his head up I lost it 😂😂
It MADE you?? The truth has been revealed
I lost it when he turned the hulk figure over to reveal a bare green bum.
I think Ashens should open a church and use figures to reenact stories from The Bible.
Lol
Same
It would involve a lot of the figures' legs falling off.
The First United Church of the 99p Shop
He could use that crappy Obi Wan T pose knock off as jesus
I think that Captain America sculpt is actually based on a comic cover where he’s holding his shield in sadness or something.
Wolverine: “it just a flesh wound.”
Legs grow back, right?
You can't get arrested , the government does nothing about online bullying , the worst you could do is permanent ban his account
Who's the real illiterate Zhang? You or a poor person who forgot to put "it's" in their comment?
Soooo... Nobody realises that it's a Monty Phyton reference..
What is with this comment chain!?
That Thor as Jesus bit was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
*HULK FLASH!!!!!!!!*
***** I'M REALLY FEELING IT!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh saver of the universe !!!!!!!!
Keurgui1 I'VE GOT A GOOD RHYTHM GOING
The one who came up with a Flash Gordon joke :3

Frank Thepug Nick fury is Michael Jackson so that explains why he can be black and white.
In the more realistic Ultimates Universe, which is what the mcu is mainly based off of, nick fury is black
He originally fought in world war 2 as SGT fury and the howling commandos.
Black Widow looks like Ubisoft trying to animate women.
Or Margret Thatcher
Actually it looks like Shia La Beouf in a red wig.
+midnightmosesuk DO IT!
+midnightmosesuk Exactly what I was thinking.
+midnightmosesuk holy crap it actually does
In the Chinese version of The Avengers Assembly, Nick Fury is played by Harry Hill.
11:25 looks like Pam from The Office. Now I can't unsee it.
4:35, "that's your girlfriend, that is" HAHAHAA
Captain America looks like a smaller Captain America coming out of a bigger Captain America suit, if that makes any sense. Kinda like Earthworm Jim. Just imagine his massive neck muscles are actually the smaller Captain America's shoulders.
Or a meat version of Iron Man in the Hulkbuster.
Rabid Rabbit Rabbi or what a Digglett actually looks like
the neck of Captain america is modeled after a Halo alien figure.
That black widow face is just pure hillarious 🤣
I was trying to control my self up until 7:18 where I literally almost pissed my self for the first time in my life. This is just sadly amazingly hilarious.
In the comics Nick fury was white, it actually angered fans when he was black in the movies, I prefer him black tbh
white and not bald with grey streaks, bit like the kingpin i think he was black in one of the marvel films also. I didn't like the black karlton fisk (it was a shit film overall) but SLJ is one of my favourite actors and characters are redrawn and re-imagined in comics all the time so who cares imo =)
Racist

The black nick fury is nick fury jr
vxscop I don't think that's how it happened. samuel waz like all kewl and den he's liek keewl im in da alternate universe comic ill be nick fury kewl
4:41 Avengers Disassemble!
I like how both the Thor figures look like different actors that played DADA teachers according to Stuart (Lockhart, plyaed by Kenneth Branagh and Lupin, played by David Thewlis).
& Branaugh directed Thor!
6:51 you are correct, it's based off the Toybiz Marvel Legends Series 8 Captain America
The official figure had a very similar problem with the neck
The way Nick Fury entered the frame at 13:45 just killed me.
9:39
Joseph: Jesus! Look at this I lend you my good hammer and it’s all scratched, from where you’ve been hittin’ futuristic warrior aliens I can’t trust you with anything!.
Jesus: Oh shut up you’re not my real dad anyway.
Joseph: Alright well why don’t you go and live with your real father, and his metaphysical sky paradise then he won’t even give his millions of followers the slightest hint he exists. So I can’t see him giving you and your mates a lift to basketball practice every Thursday night can you?!
Jesus: I hate you! You don’t understand me or my music, I’m going to my room uhhh!.
The Jesus part was hilarious XD
@3:30 BatMan reminds me of Smiler from _The Last of the Summer Wine_ (especially coupled with Ashens' groans lol)
"You don't understand me or my music" Lost my shit hahaha
The first Thor looks like Errol Flynn and I couldn't stop laughing at Black Widow in drag.
I almost died laughing at the second set
I'm getting a real John Cleese vibe from that first Thor figure.
I’ve never read comic books, but I always knew that the poster-child of The Avengers was Giraffe Necked Nearly Dead Freak of America.
Ashens daddy problems seeping out through that thor skit
Seemed more like a disdain for religion.
edbadyt Maybe a bit of both...?
"You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!"
"Rob Schneider has gotten into his biggest blunder yet~ It's Rob Schneider in, The Black Widow~"
Prince Comet Rated PG-13.
who did you kill to get that name
Nathan Dow Some punk kid with a knife.
"I thought I Thor that." I laughed harder than I should've done at that. Also, 9:39 to 10:06 was BRILLIANT.
"New Thor! Because we're tired of the old one already!"- Marvel Comics 2015-17
11:50 looks like a secretary cosplay as black widow at office halloween party
That's one Angry creature at 7:51
The irony of putting LEDs in a figures' chest and not including Ironman is hilarious.
Nikolai Lyons but there is a LED?
"The only thing he seems to be able to do with his hands is hold his head in agony, and... Um... Alright!"
11:20 Not the decapitated Cap head! 🤣🤣🤣
And on Hawkeye, the arrow is on the wrong side. The bow is clearly shaped with an indented portion on the right side for the arrow to rest on and which brings the arrow more in alignment with the center of the bow (idk what the correct term for that feature is on bows, but it exists on many modern bows).
I believe your correct. The arrow rest would be on the indented portion however that would mean he'd shoot with his other hand.
Only if he were using an eastern thumb ring to pull. But he uses the western three finger pull in the movies (I just checked out some screenshots from the movie) so it's correct to have the arrow rest on the opposite side of the bow due to how the string is twisted slightly by that kind of pull. In the movies apparently he does it correctly (not that it matters much I guess, since it's a superhero movie, not a historically-based war film).
"Thor" really reminds me of that bloke from The Shining
Hanbei Takenaka Scatman Crothers?
+Hanbei Takenaka Are you referring to Jack Nicholson, or Steven Weber from the TV version, who was also on Wings.
Sean Glass Jack Nicholson.
I actually recalled his name right after writing the comment, but i decided to leave it like that because i thought it looked funnier.
Hanbei Takenaka
+1 for style.
Hawkeye has a Kevin Spacey vibe I find.
What game is your profile picture from? I remember seeing it on Steam a while back, but I forgot what it was called.
fooeytheduck Metal Gear Rising . "Don't fuck with this Senator!"
fooeytheduck
Metal Gear Rising.
NoToeLong Ah yes.
fuegosonic93 "Nanomachines, son."
I've never cried so much in my life from laughing.
So we got:
Faulk.
Crap-man.
Shia lewidow.
V head.
Spud-mun.
Jacked america.
Thorp.
Metal-man.
Lets not forget,clone hulk and clone widow!
And arrow guy,i guess,along with eyepatch man.
I was drinking fizzy drink when he showed the captain America giraffe, you can probably guess how tht turned out.
You sir ,are hilarious
i was literally snickering every few seconds and had tears running down my eyes my roommate looked at me weird XD
That Iron Man figure actually looks like an Ultraman figure they've repainted.
Ashens is the greatest toy reviewer comedian
That was some of the most delicious and enjoyable blasphemy I've ever heard, and I loved every second of it.
Detecting Loona energy from you…
Ashens is clearly a Marvel fan.
I kind of like these figures (if you got a bunch for 1 pound)
Also your camera s awesome, what kind is it?
9:21 He looks like Christopher Masterson cosplaying as Thor.
haha thanks for reminding me of the Mary Whitehouse experience! I'd completely forgotten about it
Wolverine's leg heard "Avengers, Don't Assemble!" and took it very literally.
To be fair, those LED could have been sort of a cool addition for the figured if their color and position were chosen to reflect the character's power somewhat. For instance, a couple of blue LEDs would have looked pretty neat on the Thor figure if instead of being placed at the center of his chest it would have been on the big metal disk of his armor, his Hammer or in his hand to represent his thunder and lightning power.
3:09 When you redownload a nostalgic game and it says “not supported by iOS 11”
10:43 ironically anemic Iron Man
The first Black Widow's face actually more closely resembles Loki than anything. CANNOT BE UNSEEN.
For next time get a garden shredder and pour them in while shouting “Avengers Disassemble!”
Say what you will about these figures, my mom bought them for me on my 10th birthday, and I loved them so much, and are part of the reason why I collect figures today.

I don't know which is worse the Hulk in chaps with his bum hanging out or angry Hulk in a speedo.
Nono, what's worse is that the first Hulk figure had pockets on his bum.
I think we both can agree why both Hulks are angry . And it not the detailing of the pants its the fact that both of them are eunuchs.
4:30 it´s me, barney from black mesa
(that came to my mind for some reason)
This is my favorite Ashens video so far.
The first Hulk looks like General Zod from Man of Steel.
Do the lights on the chest project something when you point them at a wall? That could be why they are there.
They dont do anything. Many cheap action figures use light bulbs to make the stuff a little more interesting
This is the only youtube channel with a smart man with a good sense of humor and some god damned common sense. He is also living out most of our childhood dreams being able to buy all the shitty toys from the dollar store or 99p stores. Good work ashens!
nearly died laughing when ashens made captain murica into a girrafe
First Black Widow's face looks like Shia LaBeouf!
Also Captain America made me nearly spit out my drink, good job!
I lost it at the broken neck.
Wow. He does the Avengers assemble thing at the end and then I get an advertisement for the new Avengers movie. I thought that was kind of neat.
1:02-That's the same expression I had when I saw the new comment system.
the second black widow looks like she was on a rave and had just swallowed a mystery pill handed to her by a shirtless dude when she got an urgent call from iron man and now she has to act sober fighting aliens while unknown effects slowly creep up on her
1:30 The eyes are looking in different directions. The left eye is looking to the right, and the right eye is looking straight ahead.
the second i saw batman i fucking died
What made me die was the fact that the first Thor was choking the chicken while holding his head in agony.
DatRUclipsr What confuses me is how you made this comment after you had died.
commented from the great beyond
***** Spooky.
Yes, I'm commenting from heaven. They have great Internet connection up here!
It's a trick!! Black Widow is Loki in drag!
"The book of the bible they haven't found yet"
"Found"
XD
I dunno why but my favourite thing is that the first hulk figure you showed is the shorter than the rest of the avengers.
7:45 Hulk rockin' them daisy dukes 👀
That Thor figure looks like Steve Martin's Jacques Clousteau in that shitty Pink Panther movie.
Also, Hawkeye is just Kevin Spacey with a bow.
Ailuri Valyx or russel crowe with a bow
Hulk ripped his pants
Then why does he have pockets on his butt?
What is it with Knockoff companies and Red LED lights?
TOY LIGHT UP
KID ENJOY MORE
USE EXTRA LED FROM FACTORY
WHY NOT?
First Ashens video I saw, I still love it!
When Hulk 1 gets mad, he turns into Hulk 2.
