I know the art on the box is heavily altered from its inspiration cover, but it struck me as funny just how much they changed Mockingbird's appearance, just to match the figure in the set.
Hasbro should’ve just used the lady deathstrike arms for mocking bird, they hang lower and puff out more. Could be a quick kitbash and repaint for a play day 🤔
A solid set, that I'll hope to catch on clearance. Something I wonder about Silver Centurion is how it would look with taking a light-blue wash over the white bits. I know he looked white in the comics, but he also always had a light blue shading to give it a shiny, metal look and I think that's lost here. He doesn't look quite right to me with just white, marble plastic.
WCA wasn't my bag. But I dig the one-and-done nature of this set. A smattering of reuse with some upgrades and tweaks. Not perfect but good for what you need it to be - a comprise, if you will. I hope the ML team does more like sets like this in the future. A Champions or Defenders box set like this could work. Or the Slingers.
I like my underdogs, and to me the West Coast Avengers always felt like the underdog losers. Which is probably why I like them more unless it's some grandiose Avengers story being told. This set seems like a mixed bag. Tigra seems like a straight-up improvement with the more subdued orange. I prefer the head on the old Spider-Woman (the eyes on the new one look weird, and the hair a bit lifeless), but everything else on the new one. It took us way too long to get double-jointed elbows, and I'm still annoyed whenever they go with the old ones. Looking at you, Mockingbird! The sleeves don't look great, so they could at least be more functional. And you're completely right to focus on that Silver Centurion head articulation. You'd think a company that has given us 3000 Iron Man figures wouldn't mess that up. I've gotten big back into Legends recently thanks to the new Bucky Cap and Black Widow, so I may wait or this set to go on sale, but I wouldn't be too sad to miss out on it. I can live with the old Spider-Woman and Tigra, and the others I can live without (or expect a better version of later in the case of Mockingbird).
Amazing review as always. I also had that soft spot for WCA, down to earth heroes was something new to me, and all the drama and infighting was like "eh, that's the team that would draft me".
I feel like I could have gotten it better, especially matching the lighting, but I ran out of time. Still though, made myself laugh, and that's most of the battle, haha.
Nice set. I kind of wish we could get more bendy stuff when it comes to tails and such. Really nice what they did with that new Animated Doc Ock, and that Scorpion. I'd be tempted to try making my own, but I haven't found any good info on the best way to go about doing that.
X-Men were my obsession but West Coast Avengers and Defenders were hot on their heels. I loved the weirdness and soap opera levels of drama with those teams. I got this box set and keep going back to Tigra and Mockingbird for some reason. Solid review as always 👍🏻
In the UK at the time of writing, this pack is £65. Bought it for tigra, mocking bird and spiderwoman. My phone kept changing it sliderwoman, whose super power is tiny burgers.
Bwhah, wife passed me coffee right at yer intro, she shook her as I smiled. Mix bag on this set. Damn, missed an opportunity to fix Iron Man. A light blue lightly applied blue would help the bright white. But still gonna pick this up thanks to yer review
re: Mockingbird's sleeves I know a lot of people hate soft goods on action figures, but I think that's the way to go here. Have the forearms detachable at the elbow with some conical sleeves that slot over a peg. It would hang a lot better than plastic in various poses, especially if a wire was sewn into it. Matching the plastic color could be difficult though.
Hank just got stuck shrinking down from Giant Man. He's a little embarrassed about it, and would thank you not to bring it up again. 😏 Also, did you call Wonder Man "Power Man"? For shame, Robo! For shame!
1:52 Hank's render has the upper boot parts on the other legs and look more natural. You can see the sculpted dimples change locations between the render and the figure.
I liked you showing all the West Coast Figures so far. The only difference I might do is change out the classic Vision for the White Vision simply because his first appearance was in WCA at the end of VisionQuest. And I associate that version of the Vision with the WCA.
They are probably in the West Coast beach house; thus, the wind in the hair…. 😂😂😂. Mockingbird looks good until you pointed out the sleeves. But I prefer her old costume than the new one. That Hawkeye looks good.
Maybe a repaint for the white parta make the figure looks more like a good silver senturion, and if I remember theres the lady deathstrike parts that looks like the original arms desing of moking bird
@@capybara455 They released Iron Man in the same armor around the same time too! They could have made new mid-arms for short sleeves as a cool variant with this set.
Hey i like Tigra's HUGE container abdomen, I can hide notes for ppl to find, like a time capsule.. I have the silver.. silver centurian and and garfield orange tigra.. but the Tigra upgrade is the only reason i'm waiting for this set to go down to 90$ before buying.. like alpha flight and the ppl who have met wolverine pack did.
I'm no authority on recognizing reuse, but after that close comparison of the Spider-Woman figures it looks to me like the same base body for the original Julia was reused for the Mockingbird.
They should have made a small "Rover" vehicle for Hank to hold- or at least some generic scanner/ray gun geegaw. Or maybe a giant bottle of anti-psychotic pills....
🦖: You're right. Figures with heels are a b%tch to stand up, Robo... 💀💀 Meanwhile I'm eyeballin' my Marvel Legends Shiklah, that I'm messing with on my desk, she always falls flat on her face or her back... 👁️👁️💢 Very few times she actually stands perfectly. Sometimes when I talk so much crap, then she stands... 🤦🏻♀️
Seems as though it’s now common practice to give us the version we really want after we get the messed up on i.e. Tigra to squeeze our pockets ? But I won’t buy this pack since I wasn’t a big avengers fan either
It’s a server problem? It’s felt on my end like it’s something up with the coding at least on mobile, content at the top of a page will unload and go blank when scrolling back and forth as if it has a low memory threshold.
I still do prefer the Molten Man BAF wave Julia Carpenter Spider Woman more but I don't mind you liking the Julia Carpenter from the set because for me Tigra is better than the 1st because I have her, However, The Cheeto orange did bug me...., Awesome review.
@@TheFwoosh hahaha, not expecting your reply at all. But being a self proclaimed Wonder Man Fanatic i had to point that out. Btw love your reviews and it is especially good when the viewer can feel that you actually do play with them rather than just getting only for the sake of doing the review.
Haha, I know, I was just poking at you. I did the same with a Black Widow review where I called her Scarlet Witch after saying Scarlett Johansson several times and people dragged me for weeks. I just mixed up my "man"s. But totally agree, gimme Wonder Man, need Simon in all his costumes!
i don't know they're getting lazier and lazier, the sculpts are soulless, tigra is a complete repaint and doesn't even have the fingernails painted the figures are just there Rowbo they exists but there is no care they feel poor and cheap and they will even charge more. i personally will never spend 30 for those anymore unless it's a really wonderful figure, but honestly the best figures disappear in preorder, they know what the public wants and how to make good figures ut they just won't spend the budget, they're all about profits and they will never stop until thy won't be close to lose the line like 2008 i feel like you should go more heavy on the problems you are rowbo t killa so KILL! DESTROY! throw them in the trash this wave it's not the worse but as 2023 figures they are underwhelming, considering how good the fortnite hasbro line was , and i don't want nobody telling mr that " it's fortnite they have to be all agile" then what about super heroes fighting super powerful bad guys daily? come on
I've always wondered, does your brother still enjoy this kind of stuff? Do any of your other family members enjoy your collecting, or is it a "That's just Robo being Robo" mindset? Hopefully this isn't too personal of a question...
My brother collects Spider-Man comics and any variants of the McFarlane Spidey #300 cover, no matter the character. Then he does Masters of the Universe figures. Origins, the mini build ones that I just forgot the name of, and then some Masterverse here and there. We come by it natural though, my mom collects porcelain figures and goes through cycles for kitchen decoration. Trucks, roosters, apples.
Immediate thumbs up for the opening Mockingbird segment! Great review! Love the upgrades to Tigra and Spider-Woman. Really hoping for the long pants version of Mockingbird with a smaller mask. That's the look that I grew up with.
That Hank Pym looks like he's about ready to change the oil on my car.
😆
😆😆
I adore whenever the Universe decides to mock Robo when it comes to figures being able to stand without big issues! It's always funny stuff!
I know the art on the box is heavily altered from its inspiration cover, but it struck me as funny just how much they changed Mockingbird's appearance, just to match the figure in the set.
And yet it's still wrong, they forgot the sleeves 😂
Mockingbird’s costume was a change she made 1 year into the comic’s run, even calling it ‘86 Mockingbird’
West Coast Avengers was a great title, and I loved the heroes that were members of it. WCA is where I developed my fondness for Dr. Pym
20:45 "Power Man"
Hats off to you for not seeing race, Robo.
😂😂
I think Mockingbird is the clear star of this set
Hasbro should’ve just used the lady deathstrike arms for mocking bird, they hang lower and puff out more. Could be a quick kitbash and repaint for a play day 🤔
I like the Pym head a lot. It looks good on the Walgreens Sentry and on the new Starlord body for a Flash Gordon vibe.
Or he can be steve rogers
GI JOE Classified's Tripwire should be able to help with your Fixer custom some, no?
That dumb & dumber intro was truly inspired - hilarious!
A solid set, that I'll hope to catch on clearance.

17:57 classic Robo being trolled by his action figures 😂
I need that Hank Pym to make a Ghostbusters team in ML form!

Not a fan of the hair-in-the-wind effect. But I still want this pack.
Yo robo that rotoscoping for mockingbird was pretty good!
I feel like I could have gotten it better, especially matching the lighting, but I ran out of time. Still though, made myself laugh, and that's most of the battle, haha.

This Is My Beloved West Coast Avengers 5 Pack
I wonder what a Cletus head would look like on that Pym body, looks very prison uniformy
The Quantunanina Kang needed shoulders designed like Iron Mans here.
love this hobby man
In the UK at the time of writing, this pack is £65. Bought it for tigra, mocking bird and spiderwoman. My phone kept changing it sliderwoman, whose super power is tiny burgers.
You may be able to do something with mockingbird's sleeves with lady deathstike's.
Took me a little time to find the spelling but the game you were thinking of is Jai alai (hi lie) populsr in latin America.
"I just like looking at new toys *robo noises*"
Don't we all love looking at new toys
Jai Alai is the name of the Tron sport.
*Jai, like the Aussie actor Courtney. But not pronounced the same. (Hi vs Jay)
(Yeah, blame automation companies. 🧐🙄)
@@brainlock72 auto correct corrected thanks I used to live near a Jai Alia arena and saw a few games.
Spider-Woman has such big doofy eyes on the new figure, I wish they were spaced apart a little bit. I can't stop staring at it. haha
She must hang out with the new Ben Reilly Spider-Man.
Maybe Hank Pym is angry because he's been beating his wif-
I love how he said the old tigra was flamin hot and the new one was regular cheeto
Bwhah, wife passed me coffee right at yer intro, she shook her as I smiled. Mix bag on this set. Damn, missed an opportunity to fix Iron Man. A light blue lightly applied blue would help the bright white. But still gonna pick this up thanks to yer review
I am not gonna lie 25% of why I watch these is for the "forward facing pin for rocker" a figure has been reviewed until I've heard him say that. lol
The sport ur thinking of is lacrosse lmao that was my main sport most of my life
I wish Pym had the pockets on his pants.

Bet they release Mockingbird on a retro card with Lady Deathstrike sleeves and long pants.
My brother and I did the same thing with comic books.
That Tygra face looks like Ayoola Smart.
I liked you showing all the West Coast Figures so far. The only difference I might do is change out the classic Vision for the White Vision simply because his first appearance was in WCA at the end of VisionQuest. And I associate that version of the Vision with the WCA.
I want this thing so bad!!!!
Mocking birds buck is the Monica rambeau captain marvel buck from the secret wars 2 pack
for sure someone made a head for that iron man
Bloodywood!
That Spider-Woman was completely full of paint flaws! Seems that’s the way of the future with Hasbro! Eyes, chest…ugh!
Looked like some paint crackle on her left thigh in video? 🧐
the old one looks way better imho, articulation is the only thing new one ia better.
They are probably in the West Coast beach house; thus, the wind in the hair…. 😂😂😂. Mockingbird looks good until you pointed out the sleeves. But I prefer her old costume than the new one. That Hawkeye looks good.
This reminds me that we Need a She Venom in the marvel legends line
Doctor pym figure should be include rover, should probably be a two pack with firebird
Maybe a repaint for the white parta make the figure looks more like a good silver senturion, and if I remember theres the lady deathstrike parts that looks like the original arms desing of moking bird
We need a Living Lightning.
No Hawkeye?!?
That's a damn crime. He was team leader!
Because they realsed hawkeye like right at the same time
@@capybara455 They released Iron Man in the same armor around the same time too!

thanks Robo.. now i noticing the silver centurion neck... and i get annoyed...
Idk if it's just me, but does Spider-Woman's mask look uneven to anyone else with the eyes? It doesn't look symmetrical and it's messing with me lol
It does a bit, then the hair helps accentuate the error.
Her spider logo is also asymmetrical to her torso...
maybe try the Agatha Harkness upper arms for Mockingbird?
Robo used the word "terrible" during a Legends review. Get Beelzebub a parka, because hell hath frozen over.
Robo, mockingbird’s feet might be on the wrong legs. I noticed it while you were talking about her not standing. Just thought you should know.
SpiderWOWman and Tyrga please
Someone sell me the Hank!
Also known as the Bloods
What an intro!

That new Spider-Woman looks cross eyed to me.
Eyes are a bit too close and one’s not as centered, hopefully not on all of em
Wheres Wrestling Singlet Wonderman???
Seems as though it’s now common practice to give us the version we really want after we get the messed up on i.e. Tigra to squeeze our pockets ? But I won’t buy this pack since I wasn’t a big avengers fan either
Does that Hank Pym head fit on the new Antman body?
I’ve been noticing some qc issues with characters being paired with two left or right forearms. Mainly with skrull soldiers and d’spayre.
Robo.
Mention the neck.
It turns the 10 to a 4.
Do you ever think you’re going to get the comic hulk, and Bruce Banner 2Pac?
