God I really hope that Dark Phoenix Cyclops eventually gets a release... Maybe even a 5 pack Phoenix Five team

That Phoenix Cyclops breaks my heart every damn time.

Joey B is the absolute greatest. I swear if you cut him open, the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe would just spill out of him!

After watching this video, if Marvel Legends comes to an end, I want Terror Inc. to be the last figure. He's come so close, been in all those polls, let him be the closer!

Cancelling Phoenix Cyclops and any Psylocke should be illegal! Also Ultimate Hawkeye has the best Hawkeye costume, so we lost out.

Sad story. I was able to get my hands on one of the Silver Luke Cage's thanks to a friend of mine who found it and gave it to me before we knew how rare it was. Why is it a sad story? Well I kept it MIB on display in my room and one day it fell of the wall while I was at work Well the dog got a hold of it and there were pieces of package and figure all over the place. Him and the unmasked Toybiz Zemo both got destroyed

That red Fin Fang Foom🤩

Displaying Model Behavior and Anthony’s Customs collab needs to happen like yesterday!!!

That Havok is from the Chuck Austen run in the early 00s

That Dire Wraith character wasn't from Micronauts, it was from ROM Spaceknight. Which kills me because I would love to have a ROM figure!

I don't support HasLab because I don't feel that they have to exist. The build-a-figure is what a HasLab started as. When a less popular character was part of popular build-a-figure, the characters sold anyway. Fans buy good products. If the build-a-figure is desired and the price is good, the product is going to move. Most people don't know Clea or Lady Bullseye, but many know and want a Mindless One! Hasbro marketing is a joke. If they really wanted to sell some figures all they have to do is run a poll on Hasbro Pulse and produce characters based on the results. The pre-orders would be through the roof! 🤦🏾‍♂️

What a creative idea for a video! This was both educational and fun!

I own the white Phoenix Jean Grey variant figure from the Rocket Raccoon build a figure wave.. and no. its not a customs. its real. it came from the manufacturer in China, was found in an old junk box, along with other parts and uncomplete unreleased figures and completed unreleased figures. i have the phoenix cyclops and the green costume Rogue, also the Age of Apocalypse Jean Grey

I would've loved that villan only wave of building armies

Very cool video, Dave! Sad that we didn't get the FF cartoon figures - I think that that series was awesome (and now it's time for another re-watch - Thank you!). Also, I was so happy the day I completed my Wrecking Crew - These guys have such presence on the shelf! So badass! 😃

Yup, that nixed Crimson Dynamo HAS to be the one later thrown into the Iron Man 2 tie-in wave. Still the CD armor on my shelf. And recently I was thinking about when to finally do a custom paint job on X97 Maddie, so a reminder of ALMOST getting a comic-accurate Goblin Queen stung extra-hard today.

At about the 10 minute mark you reference a "Toy Shiz" watermark...That's the actual Toy Biz logo, the watermark on the image belongs to Action Figure Insider.

Omg the prices £14.99 it's so mad, I used to think 10.99 was expensive when I started bought wave one from toybiz 😂😂😂

dave, your personality and pure charisma brings a smile to my face on days i don't want to smile. i can never thank you enough. you're appreciated

The old collection background is hitting me in the feels

This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!

I would LOVE to have that Brother Voodoo. And it's NUTS that we still need Dark Ms. Marvel. And JFC we need a new classic Valkyrie SO BAD (on her pegasus). Not getting those Fantastic Four World's Greatest Heroes figures kills me. That show is massively underrated, and it's full of awesome character designs. In fact, those are flat-out the best Fantastic Four uniforms, and She-Hulk ESPECIALLY looks her best in that FF uniform. Her green makes all those colors pop, and vice versa. They seemingly DID release White Phoenix in the Rocket Racoon BAF wave as a super rare variant figure. Same thing that happened to Future Foundation Doctor Doom.

Forbushmen and frog thunder I needed them

i would've loved the black and yellow Cyclops!

Lots of great info in the video! I've got a couple notes and some info to add below. Sorry for the long comment, but it does include a mystery that maybe someone can provide an answer for. There was an announced Black Bolt Variant from the Hasbro 2009 Nemesis BAF Wave. I don't believe both figures were ever shown but it was listed on a promo checklist I have from Hasbro. I think the checklist came with a figure. It has a picture of their 2007 Golden Age Cap punching out Hydra soldiers on the front, upcoming Waves listed on the back. It lists a Black Bolt (Black/Silver Variant). That's essentially what was released. So maybe there was a blue version planned as the regular release but scrapped? Also of note is the Annihilus Wave doesn't list any variants. That Orange Fin Fang Foom actually has a new head, neck, and torso. Why? Because there was going to be electronics like the other figures in the MU Masterworks line. He was also going to come with a flame that connected to the mouth. Highly likely we would have gotten a green version too since Sentinel and Galactus both received variants. This info can be found on Marvelous News. There was an unreleased Vault Guardsman figure. It was a completely green version of the 2010 Titanium Man figure that was also reused for 2012 Ultron. Shown in one of the Fwoosh articles mentioned below. The variant X-Force Archangel was going to have black eyebrows, SDCC had blonde. It was also said his eyes would be a different color, but the few carded ones out there still have red. Also has the dull wings. In late 2014 through mid 2015 a bunch of headless listings for unreleased figures and recent SDCC exclusives hit eBay from overseas sellers. There were even some unpainted heads as well. Unreleased figures like Rogue, AoA Jean, White Phoenix, Lyra, Vault Guardsman, X-Force Archangel, & Phoenix 5 Cyclops. I personally bought some of these and they were legit figures without errors and with the correct stamping. The Fwoosh even posted articles about them, with one being written by Robo. I believe it was all the planned variants and SDCC re-releases mentioned in the video that were already in production. Most of the stuff was two years old by this time. Some carded examples were even listed. I'm guessing production was started then halted. They either had to clear warehouse space, couldn't find a buyer, or had moved on from these figures and wouldn't be able to revisit them for whatever reason and decided to get rid of the stock. This resulted in them finding their way onto eBay.

I need that kingpin for my collection, great video as always brother

Havok's costume was after he came back from the Mutant X universe he had one or two costumes before that one but on his visor should have been clear not silver then later he dropped the visor and arm guards and silver boots for that look in that was in the old failed Marvel Heroes Omega game where his hair looked like McDoland's french fries and some other games he has that same look he had it when Vulcan came in to the Deadly Genesis story line to right before he joined the Uncanny Avengers

Man I really hope we end up getting that Robbie Reyes figure down the road, it was too expensive for me to back but as a single figure man I would have loved that. Also would love a phoenix force cyclops more than anything else

Man just from those pictures alone I wish we got that toybiz Absorbing man, Lizard, Fing Fang Foom, and Robot Wolverine that looked way to cool to just be canned

Honestly, I hope we get a Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider with the car. I really enjoyed Jason Aaron’s Avengers run and Robbie Reyes’ Ghost Rider played a major role in the series. They could sell it the way they sold the G.I Joe Classified Clutch with Vamp.

A retro carded Forbush Man would be spectacular

I love this sort of "what could have been" videos. Thank you, Dave & Joey! Edit: I need that Throg!!

Are you aware of the shitstorm that the first images of that Toybiz Ultron caused? Lots and lots of whining about the head sculpt. They wanted classic Ultron, not that dog-faced one. I think they should have stuck to their guns, but it was changed due to fan outcry. This also led to a funny thing when the Toybiz Maestro came out. In an old Hulk toyline they gave him the "Fallen Hero Armour", basically notable accessories from known Marvel heroes slapped onto his body like trophies. People wanted it for the Marvel Legend, and complained when it didn't happen. Toybiz's Jesse Falcon had this to say: "I thought it was very funny to read that people were pissed that the Maestro had no fallen hero armor witch was NEVER in the comic. That armor was something we created with the first Hulk classic line, but when WE design an Ultron, a character that has looked different every single time it's appeared in the comic it's fu$%&*ing heresy! GREAT!!!!" The Ultron toy actually predated Marvel Ultimate Alliance by a few months, so I think Ultimate Alliance used their design, since he's saying they designed that particular Ultron.

I want that fourbrush

The Quinjet BAF was going to be shit though. I forget if it was Jesse Falcon or Dwight who mentioned it, but it was basically gonna be made of cardboard and it sucked so much that they didn't do it.

We’re getting the Daimon Hellstrom from the Robbie Reyes Haslab in the upcoming Blackheart baf wave

I own the white Phoenix jean grey (hasbro version) and bibeast as well

Awesome video! Really wish we got Phoenix Force Cyclops.

I still want the FF animated line of figures. Loved the design!

Dave, you were off by a year on Songbird. She came out early 2018 as part of the Infinity War Thanos wave.

Very excellent job. Remember that ' toy fare' magazine 💖 ✨️ 😂

I still don’t get why we don’t have the Phoenix 5 We’d eat that up I’d also totally buy the EoV, o backed it and was upset it failed tbh I know this vid was 12 days ago, but happy to see we’re getting Helstrom so that kinda is a start for EoV lol

If only diaper island was considerate enough to credit the sources of his photos(instead of trying to ruin peoples lives for calling him out) like Displaying Model Behavior. The dude’s name ain’t lyin, this is true Model Behavior on Display!❤️😎

I managed to get the cancelled open top Rogue (not cheap) and did a review on my channel

Both Havok and Bishop were based on the looks they had in the comic books at that time. Bishop prototype had the look of the District X comic book.

Awesome video.

6:38 they will be missed dearly, the perfect action figures

I think some of the figs in the displays are customs, a lot of them look like they were made by fans, and not actual mockups for anything. In fact I'm pretty sure most toy fair displays like those huge battles are fan made. Ther's a lot of old yourube videos showinng close ups of a few, and I think some have direct credits.

very interesting ... had no idea they were going to create a forbush man!!!! when i was a kid i thought irving forbush was a real person for a bit doh LOL

I just want updated fox x-men movie figures, that's a line that is in desperate need of a refresh from those outdated super poseable and basic toybiz figures and we only got those two days of futures past figures! seemed like it was gonna happen for a minute but just fizzled out with no word and shiftedto mcu re-releases!

Got FF white Doom and Red Deadpool (still boxed) and the Bishop variant Always bugged me that he was different to the different to the photo so thanks for the info on it and hi from Galway

The pack ins would have been so cool😭 and I saw someone cosplaying as the bucket head man

There was 2 waves of the legendary heroes monkey man and pit were the bafs

We did get a goblin Queen and they just announced Damian helstrom in the black heart wave! Talk about a coincidence!

The Toybiz silver Juggernaut does exist. It was last sold on eBay around 2015-16 for about $750. I still have the screenshot too. I kick myself for passing up on it even after I won the auction.

Would've been cool to see the side by sides of what actually released vs promo/ original images

Dave, as a corollary to this video you should do one on Legends that will never be made. Like Yellow Claw - a great Avengers and SHIELD villain. Or new Mandarin. There was an old Toy Biz one, but I doubt we’ll ever get a classic Mandarin again. Or a classic Falcon. They released 2 versions - one in 2020 and one in 2022 that were almost the same. I think the retro 2022 was supposed to be the 70s version, but someone put the brakes on at the last minute.

The Siff chick in between Electra and that spider chick came out in the Toys R Us box set different color ,,with she hulk and a few other chicks

21:33 HOLY CRAP!! Such a shame this never officially happened!! It does make me think if remember anywhere with cheap wrestling figs that might have Macho for a kit bash

10:10 we may have a hasbro darkhawk but it’s the watered down 2010’s design instead of either of the two radical 90’s designs. That toybiz figure looks really close to darkhawk 1.0. As one of the two darkhawk fans left in the world it makes me very sad.

I gotta say that Macho Man Deadpool is awesome (one of my favorite wrestlers) Macho Man is so iconic I'd for sure get a Deadpool version.

I would pay decent money for those Bug and Dire Wraith figures.I don’t want to be TOO optimistic, but they were able to figure out the rights to put omnibus releases of both of those comics, so maybe one can still keep his fingers crossed for these too 🤞

An excellent video.

Yes the Havok figure looks like his uniform when he was team leader of the New X-Men. The visor was clear and Salvador Larroca was the artist

I have a certain affinity for those ancient Marvel Legends figures, but boy were some of those head sculpts uuuuugly in some cases.

I kinda wish the figures he's referencing had images as well (i.e the running changes)

23:07 I don’t think that makes any logical sense. The figures themselves were only STRETCH GOALS, not the Haslab itself, which was the Spirit of Vengence Charger. To say that the Haslab failed bc no one wanted Goblin Queen or Mephisto is absolutely absurd!! I am doubtful that anyone would be willing to shell out $400+ for one or two general release style figures. Also, the inclusion of Goblin Queen in this Haslab was more confusing to me than anything. While she is connected to Mephisto, she’s not a character I immediately associate with Ghost Rider, if at all!! She will always be connected to the Inferno event, to Cyclops, Havok, Cable, and the X-Men. Yes, they recently had the X-Men 97 version, but to have a comic version forever denied bc they proposed her as a STRETCH goal for a character’s VEHICLE that she has only the LOOSEST of connections/associations with would be even lamer than the current action figure “war against cleavage” that is getting worse each year

Mystique was fucked up 3 times lol more recently the vhs one that shows a pinless mystique but we got a single jointed one like WTF 😂😂

If they ever did release the orange Fin Fang Foom, i would've pretended that he was Grogg.

Nice In Living Color reference.

I own that Phoenix Cyclops. The rarest figure in my collection.

don't forget about the tasm 2 Spider-Man. the prototype is complete different to the official release. alongside the pizza spidey body mold. the original has so many different features and is overall a cleaner, more well proportioned figure.

I want a 90s style Darkhawk. Use your pull with Hasbro to make it happen!

That havok [X-Men (2nd series) #157, 166]

Solidsnakeinmypants has that juggernaut

Forbush man was in marvel age comics and he came out as one of the main bad guys in next wave read those comics dave

I’d of loved to seen that Absorbing Man get made.

I wish they would have made that Havok! That was his look in X-Men 157, previously New X-Men. The design was by Salvador Larocca

I want more kangs marvel legends like comic immortus,scarlet centurion and rama tut

Those legendary heroes Conan did come out. I have that it came with a bad guy. Wizard would like a weird helmet.

Wow i bearly knew half of these and i was colecting marvel legends before they were called marvel legends.

We did get round 2 of Legendary Heroes. It was the wave with the Monkeyman BaF.

Interesting!

I still wish that the Robbie Ghost Rider Haslab would have funded. I know I’m in the minority there

I would love a terror inc figure maybee in an upcoming deadpool wave

Goblin Queen would be amazing

Wendy Robbins owns pretty much every rare legends figure it's possible to own...

Those "Toy Shiz" watermarks on the Micronauts and Darkhawk images... are Toy Biz watermarks, silly. Images from Action Figure Insider.

Forbush Man was the mascot of Marvel's "Not Brand Ecch" comedy series. He's actually got a very disturbing power despite not being physically intimidating.

We've never had an original red and blue suit Ms. Marvel. Right?

I wondered when can we expect a hasbro pulse Marvel Legends reveal soon like a spider man trilogy wave like before?

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Psylocke.

Personally, if I ever happen to come across the Mystique that utilizes that same torso, you can guarantee I’ll be snatching her up and repurposing that amazing sculpt..

There was a deadpool and Thor from Dave Cortes studio Toybiz that never came to fruition

I got a feeling this one's gonna make me a bit sad for the figures that could of been

Phoenix force 5 pack is a must and long over due

Mafex related content should come

I wanted that ultimate Hawkeye

Maybe one day Hasbro will give us Mephisto, Damien Hellstorm, and Overdrive. At least these are the figures I'd love to have in my collection.

Bi-Beast would have been awesome, but that color is terrible. It needs at least a wash if not a less glaring orange. But the Hulk foe I'm hoping for more than any is Harpy! And for Capt. Britain, I'd have loved to get him in his red costume as it appears in Marvel Team-Up #65!
