The Fantastic Four are Marvel Comics first family - they changed everything about comic books by presenting a human familydynamic in the setting of grand cosmic adventures. And that has led to a ton of action features. In this video we look at some of the best FF toys from ToyBiz, Marvel Legends, Hasbro, Diamond Select, Marvel Select and Mezco. And you can help decide which of the Fantastic Four's figures are the best

I've been waiting for you to make a fantastic four action figure retrospective video, you just nail the presentation and your commentary is simply superb. the FF are my favorite super hero team and it was through them that i became a huge fan of jack kirby and his phenomenal work, so seeing you talk about them is a match made in heaven.

So I just finally sifted through the Mezco set more thoroughly myself, and Johnny DOES have a fire neck piece. In the tray with his other flame effects should be a more solid red ring looking piece. It turns out the "flesh" colored part of his neck can be removed from the base of the neck and replaced with this red piece. Weirdly different from the other ways Mezco has done necks, but it works. I still think Sue Storm should have had at least a translucent head though.

He could keep you up for hours and hours talking your head off. He was also a very gifted custom figure maker. I have a handful of customs that he made. And you can tell each one is definitely his style. His enthusiasm was contagious and I miss that kind of smoldering energy that he had. I think you can feel it coming thru in his videos.

I’m sorry man who created what is not irrelevant the King has far to often been short changed of his credit and it is relatively clear that the Challengers where the inspiration for the FF and Kirby was the main creative force behind them, what is not indisputable is that Jacob Jack King Kirby is probably one of the most creative minds of the twentieth century co-creator of Captain America, Fantastic Four, Inhumans, X-men, Marvel’s Thor,Nick Fury Agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. The design of Spider-Man, Fourth world, Captain Victory, and we know from Bob Kane everything is always not what it seems Bill Finger was woefully short changed and deserves far more credit for Batman than he gets.Kirby deserves more credit.
@CarbonScoring 4 ай бұрын
You are right. It is not irrelevant, but this is one where I do think Stan had some influence at the very beginning. If you watch so many of my other videos, I am a huge advocate for artists contributions - particularly Kirby and Ditko - because of all the credit Stan took over the years. I have done numerous videos on this and I could not agree with you more - which was why he was introduced in this video as The KING. While I think Stan was an important part of the creation of the FF - all the good stuff - Galactus, Inhumans, Black Panther, This Man This Monster - that was all Jack (I do think Stan is the personality of the Silver Surfer, but Jack was the creator). So, I am with you. And don’t even get me started on Bob Kane - I actually address that in next week’s DC Mezco Mystery Box. Thanks for watching and commenting - I appreciate your passionate fandom. Oh, I just read your comment again - Kirby took an early swing at Spider-Man - but that character design is all Ditko - I’ll happily die on that hill.

@@CarbonScoring the first cover art is Kirby Stan though Kirby’s style was too blocky and made him look older the original design concept’s where Kirby’s, Stan turned to Ditko and really never gave him the proper credit, I really get sad knowing he didn’t live long enough to truley get his flowers in life and hearing how sad he was in not wanting to go into Toys r Us or any toy store and seeing his creations being sold and not being adequately compensated for his work. Back on topic I do agree with you the Mezco FF is Lacking something they could have maybe put a translucent switch top like Mr Fantastic for invisible Woman they would have had to do a completely different release for a light up translucent Human Torch. And yeah I have the Mezco FF now I’m waiting for Doctor Doom , what we need is more FF villains Red Ghost and Super Apes, Frightful Four,Mad Thinker and Awesome Android, Diablo, Attuma , Mole Man and Moliods and the Mole Monster, Invincible Man, Overmind, Gaberial I want them all can’t wait for the Select Annihilus
@omarsoliman2355 3 ай бұрын
I met both Stan and Jack Kirby back in the day. They were both equally hilarious and interesting as very real characters. Stan always claimed that he came up with the ideas,.. and handed them off to an artist. And he just could have handed them to different artists (when you are referencing Ditko & Spider-man or Dr. Strange, or Kirby & everyone else in MC). While it may be true,.. I don't think we would have the same FF, Spider-man and the rest, if he did choose different artists. I think all modern reviewers would say that the FF is undoubtedly 90% Jack Kirby. If you look at Challengers, it's the same concept. If you hold them side by side, he even swiped entire page compositions for FF. More than any other book, FF really feels like all Jack, with Stan adding words to what is already there in pictures. It is a real shame Kirby didn't live long enough to see his creations blow up on TV & movie screens. I'm sure he would have been heavily critical of any and all changes. But I think he would have been begrudgedly proud of what they got right of his work. These artists you casually mention were GIANTS!! Creators of worlds that inspired much of the imagination of my entire childhood,...even as much as movies did,.. maybe more. Other fans built entire empires on what Ditko & Kirby created. THey are still building them. Think of how much came JUST out of those 2 artists? Look it up and you will be shocked.

@@omarsoliman2355 yeah, man - we are in full agreement. But I don't think I mentioned Ditko or Kirby casually - I feel like I always give them proper credit for being the foundational figures they are - perhaps it didn't come across enough in this particular video, but over the course of my channel, I am a huge advocate for what the visual artists contributed using the Marvel Method and am constantly critical of the credit Stan took for others work and ideas

I switched over to Legends simply because of the wider range, however with the quality of Hasbro’s lines being up and down, I’m seriously considering switching back to Select as my go to. These FF figures are such high quality and affordable. Just wish that they made more figures. Alas, “quality over quantity” I guess,but is it too much to ask for both? 🤷🏻♂️ Anyway love the channel mate!

My fav of the bunch is the movie set. That is just awesomely done. Mezco could have also done the same hack they did with Reeds, for Sue and Johnny, like split the figure into two parts and give invisible upper body and head, similarly give upper body burning for Johnny. They just cheap'ed out IMO.

There was actually a Toy-Biz Invisible Woman. It came in the box set with the kid Franklin and Herbie that you show quickly in the video, so maybe you have it stored somewhere.

I have the last two Thing figures from Hasbro’s Marvel Legends and I like them both. The Marvel Select Mr Fantastic and Invisible Woman are both great from that line. It depends on the line for the human torch. I have the Marvel legends one from Hasbro, but the Marvel select is great too. I can’t wait for FF Wolverine and Spider Man to come out soon.

I own all FF team versions from the different companies, my vote for the best: 1. Hasbro (all variants) 2. Toybiz (flimsy, but great Mr Fantastic stretch variants) 3. Mezco (just too damn expensive) 4. Diamond Select (poor articulation, but displays well)

Just last year I completed my Fantastic Four from Walgreens (Except for the Human Torch since I like more the Retro Version) and I'm so happy since they are the first set that I complete of the team (aside from some promo mini figures from the time the first movie came out and the Burger King ones) But as much as I like the figures I think specially Reed could use some improvement, despite no being so old I think he could use a revisit. For me the unbeatable Reed Richards figure is the one that has the interchangeable neck, torso and limbs, that guy is everything I asked for back in the day and the likeness is still good enough to Ioan Gruffudd, also Ben and Johnny and even Doom still hold up.
