Small note, as a Marauder Vertigo would be fighting the Morlocks, not hanging with them 😉 Aside from that, I hear you on this and MOST of these box sets. Lure us in with one or two figures we want and then load us down with re-use we don’t. This is Hasbro Legends…this is the way. 🤷‍♂️

You can’t gauge any character’s size off of Liefeld art. He paid as much attention to scale as he did to anatomy.

Pretty boy is the star of the show in my book, too bad they put him in a crappy box set.

I really wasn't in a good mood yesterday because this girl that I had a crush on called me a big turd, But......This video did got me thinking of what X-MEN figures to get because I will get the 80s Outback Rogue, retro carded lab coat blue Beast, retro carded Dark Phoenix, and Longshot, Great review overall Shartimusprime

Loved the Zero Reference by The Smashing Pumpkins! Great review as always Shart!

I really enjoy your starting the video out with photos first now

I agree, it's so weird to see Random so well proportioned. The first Random figure (ToyBiz 90s Pre Legends), is equally tiny for its line but his proportions are beefer and it's perfect if you collect Marvel Universe

It’s a fair rating, but I love this set. A lot of characters that I needed to round out teams. These are D list characters, so the reuse and box set treatment is the trade off I accept. I hope we get more to be honest

I liked the size of Random. I think it is pretty accurate. Those images where it looks like he's so much bigger are more due to artist interpretation. Of course it's been many years but i dont think he was ever meant to big that big. There are a lot of images where he's standing with other characters where he's clearly larger, around 6'5" or so but nowhere near Strong Guy size.

You can totally color in the circles on Zero and add some more dots to make Spot

I was looking forward to watching your videos.

Loved that stop motion

Random is actually at the perfect height in comparison to Strong Guy, but his upper body should be closer to the width of Strong Guy. Which I guess should also make Random’s legs a bit wider but not much wider.

cancelled my preorder after this haha. Thanks man

Damn that head sculpt looks made for that superman. Nice eye from your viewer. I’m gonna purchase just that head for mine. Lol

Zero literally looks like a better Spot figure than the Spot figure that’s coming out for the Across the Spider Verse wave.

Great review and intro!! You rock dude! Shartimus please a Spiral review, awesome figure.

I really would of wanted to see the Madame Hydra head sculpt on this Vertigo figure 🤪

Love Stryfe. X-cutioner's Song part 4 was the first ever comic I picked up when I was a kid.

Wow wasn’t expecting Lady Gaga to be an X-men villain. Very impressive

I like the lil drum intro with the pictures, BUT, it should lead into the main theme song! The main theme is iconic

Lmao loved the smashing pumpkins reference!!!!🤙🤙

Love the new intro.

LOL Zero is like the cheapest figure ever, well right next to the white wolf figure. Just a white plastic fig with no paint except a couple of circles. Sue Storm reuse screams cheap as well. You're right, Random should be a lot bigger. Random's true form is a skinny/small kid, but he shapeshifted himself really big for ego. Not as big as strong guy but as big as Colossus. The only fig I'm really interested in is Strife, but there's no way in hell I'm paying $125 just for Strife.

I thought the Vertigo head looked like a reused head of Marvel Studios Scarlet Witch. And Pretty Boys head does look like Superman (lol). Do agree about Random needing to be bigger (should of been a build a figure). Stryfe looks cool.

Random should definitely be bigger should have been kept for a baf in a future wave maybe with some 90s X factor Figures, Hello Wolfsbane A new 90s Madrox army builder maybe

I definitely plan on getting this set!

Great Review. To me Random and Pretty Boy's weapons with the green effects are the best.

I di value your opinion, Shartimus. I have my Xmen villain pack. I preordered off Amazon.

Nice review. I really don’t get the hate for the Random figure. He was drawn that size plenty of times and is a shape changer in any case. I for one love the fig!

So stoked I picked this up at Ross for $25

Random’s height is fine, nitpicking a bit on that 😂

smashing pumpkins lol good one shart

Great review! I think Quesada drew random really huge in his first arc but after that he was a bit smaller.

Also if I ever get that 5pack you can turn that zero figure into spot so for the new spider-man movie you have a spot figure.

That Pretty Boy head on Superman is aces!

i got the random figure i think the size is okay cus the proportions in the comics are wonky anyway and probably couldnt be replicated but height wise yeah i can agree a bit

Since he's a shapeshifter I'm good with Random this way, but he was more popularly drawn with cartoonish features like large chest and arms and relatively small head kind of like the old toy biz 5poa fig. I thought Masterpiece on Figurealm customized him best.

The maggot figure is actually the hercules buck

I like da pics as an intro 🔥🔥🔥, but I like da intro song 2 😂

Can’t help but love the stop motion!!! It must get incredibly difficult to think of different things to do and obviously the time involved when animating these parts of the review, awesome though!!👏🏼 Great review as always too Shartimus, killing it as always!!👍🏼🫶🏼👋🏼

You forgot Lady Deathstrike with the Reavers.

Vertigo(and a lot of the ML woman figs) reminds me of those 60s fashion mannequins and pretty boy looks like an uncanny valley superman. Edit: got through the last half of the video and I see you had the same idea. That superman looks great!!

I've been waiting quite a while for Random and yeah... He should definitely be bigger, or at least more beefy. I still might try making a custom.

You can fix the marbeling with some silver paint dry brushing.

More figures should have Red Skull’s style of neck

I miss the bios they use to put on the back 😢

Vertigo is mostly a Sue Storm reuse, but if you look closely those are definitely not the wobbly Kate Bishop thighs. Not sure where they came from but they are of a much sturdier construction. It's a small change but I wish it was one they used more often and certainly should have been done a long time ago. It would have been really great if the could have done that for the new Sersi figure but no, she is on the KB mold, wobbly knees and all.

I made a custom tmnt shredder out of a Stryfe figure back in the day. It actually looks pretty good and I don't know anything about making customs. I literally just used the 2003 series shredder head and parts with the stryfe body, paint matches pretty well as is, so no need to paint imo. Looks pretty good and is big enough to match with nearly any tmnt figures

I'm in. I like everybody but zero. Of course I wish they were all updated in the ways you were talking about. What the hell is this vertigo with invisible woman's head?! Also, it's conceivable there have been so many clones of her, perhaps this one is trying to make amends with the morlocks? Do I get a no-prize? And I'll throw my hat in the ring for random being about the right size. For what they're working with. Certainly not as big as Guido. I do appreciate you putting this together, my dude! 🤘🤘

So I bought the Diamond Marvel Select Vision, Beta Ray Bill, and Rulk for less then $100. With these three I received more plastic, more deco, more paint, and more accessories then this 5-pack. Speak with your wallets folk, Pretty Boy and Stryfe will be released as singles on a retro card. Shartimus, somedays it must be a real challenge to do your job.

I want Stryfe! Only reason I'm buying the set. The old one I used to have is expensive so this set will pay for itself ill keep Zero and Stryfe then gonna sell the other 3

Easy pass for me, though I do wish I had that Stryfe strictly for the new headsculpt. While the other is great it looks more like a silver painted Wolverine head lol

Glad to see Bruce Campbell in this set........ hey wait a minute!

great smashing pumpkins reference haha, mellon collie is my favorite album 🤓

Random is more-or-less a shapeshifter, so it could be justified to use a smaller bod. (Y'know, keeping price points down) However, I hate how they designed his biogun arm: it shouldn't taper off at the elbow like that.

Gonna pick this up, just for the Stryfe 👍

So given hasbro's love of reuse, any thoughts on who we're going to see using the pretty boy body next?

I think the heads look fine.

Nothing like a ringing untuned snare and chop shart beat to kick it off.

I love that you’re such an expert on action figures 🙄

Random would have been a good BAF, I am glad you did this review cause I was undecided whether to get the set.

Random i feel Just needs way bulkier shoulders. And some arm attachments

Random needs to be bigger. I had that figure in the 90's

For Vertigo, can you head swap it with Viper?? Just a thought

Random could be bigger however I don't think as big as Strong Guy. Actually I think Strong Guy is too small. Would like Diamond Select to take a crack at him.

Random doesn't need to be as big as Strong Guy, But I hope Hasbro puts out another Random that is bulkier, comes with swappable arms/cannons and little missiles the way toy biz did.

Pass. I have the toybiz version of Random and it has better proportions. I want a big random too.

I like the Deadpool video game where he makes fun of vertigo.

I'm ok with Random being proportional to regular bodies. I just want to complete my X-Factor! Give us Wolfsbane and Val!!!

Cable head on Stryfe Body ? : ( Anyways as always great review and thank you much

Hasbro team hearing his complaints about of all things swirling!?! Their response "STFU Shart!!"🤣🤣🤣

Pretty Boy is going to be the breakout star of the pack, he is incredible! Stryfe is the runner up along with Random. Zero and Vertigo are meh. I give it a SUD rating of, I'll wait for the Black Friday sale , but it's not so bad. To all fellow DC fans out there like myself, that Pretty Boy body could make for an excellent Metallo figure.

Random is indeed too small. He is no where near as wide in the shoulders as he should be. I know Joe Quesada drew him and the team a bit stylized, but he doesn’t look right. I LOVED the 90s X-Men figure, with his pockmark “stubble” (I actually just looked at him again, and he is goofy looking, but I LOVED the figure!!!) Stryfe looks amazing. He’s the only one I would want from the set. If I was collecting Marvel Legends as much as I used to, I’d get this set. But, I MAY try and find just Stryfe on eBay.

You think the 5 pack will release this month like Longshot, Avalanche, Spiral, Dark Phoenix, Wolverine, and Multiple Man are?🤔

I can't wait to get 😩 some of these figures. I might buy them separately tbh. Actually I think 🤔 😅 I might actually pre-order this and blob. I want all 5 ngl. I agree 👍 with random should have strong guy body. I love my strong guy

Actually you're wrong and right at the same time about Pretty Boy. He does have Bruce Campbell's face, but he also has Kevin Bacon's eyes. In my view, it's a good way to get away with trademark likeness usage without having to pay royalties.

Man, Zero looks pretty nice, not joking, but I agree the body mold should've been something else.

Just got this at Ross for 27.68 🙏😎

Sickkkkk Intro

Thanks for the review brother! I'm very excited for Stryfe and Zero (: going t have to shell out the $125.00 USD ):

i dont think i would want a random the size of strong guy, but a little bigger would have been better. Still like him thought.

Wouldn’t mind picking up Vertigo for my Iron man villains, for some odd reason she was part of Mandarins army in the 1995 animated series so that would be the only one I would want.

And here I am only wanting Stryfe...

Yessir

Vertigo buck looks like the buck they used for psylocke originally and then for the female alpha flight which had better range than the comic Kate bishop in my opinion

You're not tripping. Random mos def needs to be bigger. At least on that Omega Red body.

Hasbro really thought they finished off teams with this box set. They literally just started the Nasty Boys and still haven’t finished XFactor. No one new Mutants Wolfsbane doesn’t finish Xfactor, we still need a proper one. 😂

I was hoping that you would do a head swap with Cable and Stryfe. 😢

nowadays Shartimus Prime is taking a risk trying to swap hands and heads with Hasbro action figures.

If you have a put a picture of somewhere there coming from behind the portal if would look party cool😎

The paint on the body and face of vertigo are real nice. A hair swap would make her different enough from sue

Random Is Full Marvel Comics Giga Chad

Need all 5. Remember Random as smaller than Strong Guy but bigger gun. Disappointing Vertigo though.

We have to heat up all the action figures before we move them around due to lower quality plastic. This keeps getting better and better. (sarcasm)

can you do a headswap between madame hydra and vertigo?

Did I miss something or I'm I wrong here. I don't remember vertigo being in the morlocks. I know she was part of Mr. Sinister's group in the animated series. I thought she was in Magento's savage land group in the comics

I just wished they would have sold them separately.

Agree about random, he should be bigger, hes following the footsteps in production the same way as 616 sabertooth!!!!🤦‍♂️

Hasbro really seems to be taking short cuts and going cheap A LOT lately, across the board, not just Marvel Legends.
