Monet is SO GORGEOUS and she really gives Jean, Spylocke, Rogue, Black Widow and any other lovely female action figure a true Challenge, and probably prevails over them in Beauty!!.. Love the skin tone, face, eyes and long Dark hair on her!!.. hasbro has hit the ball out of the park with Monet!!.. solookint forward to adding her and Spiral to my collection. Love marvel legends !!! 👍🏻❤👍🏻

Scott Summers finally getting his due. This is the respect he deserves as objectively the best X-Men.

Spot on criticisms of Ha$blow's stupidity and lack of foresight. As bad as Ch'od is I can overlook it IF he had came with four fingers, not five. Great video once again!

Huge fan..u have the best reviews.honestly I have never disagreed with your review your great at pointing out we're they messed up on paint and molds and inaccuracies from the source material.

I hope to see Nightcrawler on the Amazing Fantasy body mold or maybe a different body mold with toe articulations! I would’ve liked Raza or Hepzibah instead of Kid Omega to be consistent with the Starjammers! Or even Gladiator to be with Fang!

What you got for me Manny my friend? Cyclops, always great. Funny how his costume more or less has gone back to what it was. Emma Frost, looks spot on to the Astonishing line in the face. But yeah they phoned it in with the body. The White Queen doesn’t need to look up, she has pawns for that.

New Subscriber here! Great reviews. Cyclops and Corsair are the must haves for me in this line. I love your review style as well. You've given me ideas to improve my Marvel Legends reviews for my channel. I look forward to watching more of your videos!

We need at least 5 more reviewers like you, who can take the toymakers to task on shameless innacuracies. Especially at the price at retail.

Thank You! Thank you for that, A lot of people keep finding a reason to Fool Themselves!🤦🏻 Not just with marvel Legends but with Mafex, Sh Figuarts.

Pretty good wave overall, think I',m in for Scott. Btw, according to what robo showed on his review of them, scott's smoking optic effect is removable.

I didn't order Chamber or Kid Omega, but I have recently seen some cool headswaps, especially for Chamber, so I will be going back for them. It's rare for me to complete a BAF. I've finished maybe 8, and I'm a 29 1/2 years Collector!

Can't wait to get this wave especially for corsair, monet, kid omega and Ch'od(lazy baf but cool) fang should have been on the wolverine body with a re-used head and fang head. might use emma frost for custom. Really wishes they give us a Havok X-factor using vulcan body with his previous jacket, arms and legs from morph/cyclps vhs so they match the summer family in their similar bodies 😅

I agree with everything you said in this video Manny. This was a great set of reviews. I would've ranked them all about the same way you did. Also really like that victory Saber blaster for cho'd. Wish I had that blaster for mine.

this wave is pretty good overall. they are slowly but surely phasing out pins. With Fang we now have a completely pinless mid sized body that’s not Vulcan

This Fang was a huge missed opportunity because Daken/Akihiro uses this uniform in the current continuity- could have packed him with an Akihiro head and some clawed hands and he’d be the appropriate height for the figure you just reviewed.

Thanks great review.

Did you know that the effect in Cyclop’s visor is removable, and if you look inside of the visor, there is red embedded inside of the glasses deep inside, it’s apart of Cyclops‘s head sculp and there isn’t any piece of red inside when Cyclop’s head is removed and you look inside. In fact it is a shiny red so it stands out nicely.

Another great review!!! Love your honesty, your saving me a ton of money!!! Much appreciated 😊

X Da Man Manny Great review , simply excited to see the 2023 collection video 🎉🤗⚡️💫👍🏽🙏🏼

You speak the truth. Better than ignoring all the facts that Hasbro will always be garbage. The worst part is Dwight and his team trying to convince everyone that they are selling an awesome reasonably good product, but in fact, they sell hot garbage. I think Dwight is delusional and brainless if he is truly responsible for designing and retooling this hot garbage.

It bothers me that the optic blast head and FX were not included with this Cyclops. They already made them. Why not add them?

Great Video Manny

For me I’ll be getting Emma and Corsair. As for Ch’od I love big characters but he is criminally small like you said. I really can’t say anything to defend Ch’od here like for real... his red belt? lol everyone keeps saying Hasbro dropped the ball on this wave or this BAF but what we’re all lying about is that we’re the ones buying it... To quote the great Obi-Wan Kenobi: “who’s more foolish? The fool or the fool that follows him?” I think it’s clear that we simply have to stop supporting this BS. That’s why as much as I wanted Ch’od I really can’t justify completing this wave. Great video as always Manny!

I need at least 3 chambers Good review man!

If I get the Cyclops one I will cut the smoke effect off so I can have him displayed in a more relaxed or neutral position

Only picking up Cyclops, Emma Frost and Corsair, it's good wave, still awesome review man 👍.

There is nothing better than coffee and an Xmanny style review to begin your day 😎👊I was waiting for this. Really interested in your opinion about Emma Frost ;)

Someone reviewed this cyclops (I forgot who) and the whole red effect on the visor is removable.

My god! Corsair’s lipstick!

Great review. Definitely wanted to get the Monet, Chamber, Corsair, and Cyclops when the wave was announced, and was initially tempted by the Emma Frost until you pointed out all the flaws. The others are meh and that BAF is a disgrace so not even worth getting the others for the sake of completing it...

Always speaking the truth! Hopefully there'll be some custom hands and feet for sale for Ch'od eventually. 🤞🤞🤞

The kid omega gun looks exactly like a nerf gun. Not as an insult but it is literally the Nerf vagabond. Kinda cool.

Thanks to your review now I know that figures to buy right now and what figure to buy on sale 👌🏻

Legends is so close to being good. Cyclops is proof of that. If we could get more unique sculpts like that, and if they could pack in more accessories then it'd be there, but it's not and so it's why I'll pass on most of these, sadly. More of them end up like Ch'od than Cyclops. Spot on reviews and critiquing

Totally agree about Ch'od.

From my perception I think this is the best Emma Frost so far. It included a new mold that can differentiate it from the others, even though I think it lacked more proportion, the heels are better and fix that mistake of the female figures with heels, because with them seemed to have the same scale as a Marvel Select. My areas of opportunity without a doubt are the cape that is made of a horrible plastic and not having double articulation in the arm, I think it should be a crime not to make the figures with double point articulation. The sculpted face is by far the best of Emma Frost, it has personality and is charming, those who don't really like it is because they don't know Cassaday's art. I definitely think Hasbro is getting better and better and I hope they give us the definitive Emma in the future.

Really great review Manny. The Cyclops and Corsair look really good and I was surprised how much I like the look and articulation of Monet. The others in the wave aren't really for me personally although I'll definitely pick up Emma as she does look good just a massive shame that her entire top half is pretty much useless thanks to a poor cape choice but do you think it's possible the maybe detach it at the front so she can move a little more and use the plug at the back to keep it in place? As for the BAF..... yeah everything you said was spot on.

Great massive review, my friend! I just got Emma, Corsair, Fang and Ch'od. I really don't understand why Hasbro is so lazy sometimes. I don't see a problem on reusing parts, but they could definitely create a new pair of 4 finger hands for Ch'od. The size is not exactly a big deal to me, but the paint job does not exists. It seems it's the natural plastic mold, right? Maybe I'll ask to a friend to give him some paint job. Regarding Emma, another great mistake: plastic cape! Man, they already did so many fabric capes for Star Wars figures. This particular Emma design requires a fabric cape to give mobility to the figure. The head sculpt is great, totally John Cassadays' style.

Amazing review video 👍👍 keep it up! Tell them like it is 👏

I really wish Chamber got as much love as M did. Ah, well.

Hasbro's cloth goods have only ever been cheap junk. I can't even imagine how they'd have gone about securing it to the figure given the nightmare of Banshee when viewed from the back. She's not a character known for dynamic posing anyway, so given the options, I'm glad to have the restrictive but nicely sculpted plastic cape.

Thanks for the review! Ima need chamber for sure he looks sickk

🔥

I want them to do a generation x wave because I started reading xmen comics and Generation X were the first books I started buying myself. Love your reviews and I come to your page before I add anything to my cart to buy!!

Besides Kid Omega I really love the character selection. Super Syked for Gen X My biggest beef with not just this wave but all recent waves, is the lack of accessories particularly lack of heads. I'm concerned theyre removing accessories to make up for the packaging pivot.

Alright!!! Was waiting for you to reveal this wave. Glad that one of the best figs, Cyclops will be 2 per case. No nonsense review and calling Hasbro out on their effort for the bulk of the wave.

I had that same Wolverine figure and bike as a kid. Learning that Fang is the size of Wolverine is infuriating. 100% blow up Hasbro, 1 step forward with stuff like Cyclops and 2 steps back. I don't know who is calling the shots. Fwiw Cyclops was always called Slim so I always think he should be taller than the Vulcan or bucky Capt.

Probably just gonna get Cyclops out of this wave, I’m a sucker for all variations of his suits

Great video, I appreciate the straight talk call the BS out!

I’m still mad about the Ch’od baf. They could have added back fins and modified the mold a little to match the character. I’m only buying Cosair and waiting until someone makes a better Ch”od baf. 😂

I hated the fact the abomination bad was short and didn't come with fist as well as claw hands so the ch'od baf was never going to sit well with me 😥

My favorites are Monet and Corsair!

Well technically kid Omega doesn't really need to have trigger finger, his mind is what makes the gun shoot

I ordered the Cyclops and Emma cause I have the original Astonishing Figures from like 2008-ish, and I was in like 5th grade back then, so I wanted to feel some of that nostalgia. I know the Emma has its issues, but I'm still really stoked for her

@xmanny87 you can use the fang figure to repaint it black and make a " Werewolf by night" figure

Specially good wave. New engineering, new bodies amazing job for hascrap 😛🍿

👍👍👍👍

They really did Ch’od dirty. Not only is he highly inaccurate he’s not even the right size. The scale of the bigger characters is all over the place anyway. When the only way we could get bigger characters was through BAFs they made them all kinda the same size. That’s why our now standard Hulk body is so much bigger than our only versions of his nemesis the Abomination. It makes me especially mad when characters like Sasquatch who are supposed to be huge are still smaller than Hulk. Hulk’s size changes sure, (stays around 7-8 feet) but Sasquatch is literally 10 feet tall. He’s huge. He should be taller than almost anyone else. Yet is he? No. And I guarantee it’ll be a long long time until we see another Sasquatch figure. If anything they’ll just rerelease the BAF with a new head.

I Collect all ML x men and the only figures I was excited for were the starjamer and the Emma frost ones, monet is really good too, the rest not my favorite ones, I love cyclops but with the classic one from the 90's I own I own I am pleased

I'm literally contemplating getting this Emma, cutv off the cape, sculpt fur shoulders and have it sit up there and basically turn this into a classic White Queen using paint and tools.

Another great review ! Hey Manny, like a month ago, you said on another podcast that you were awaiting shipment from Valaverse Action Force. Are you gonna do a review for those figures as well ? Would love to hear what you have to say . Keep the great vids coming !!!

Just grabbing Emma. If I was to continue collecting Legends and the price was 20 bucks then I would grab the rest of the wave. Also inflation being what it is.

Well... Ch'od is the evidence of how lasey Hasbro could be when it comes to a nice chance for re-using and re-painting!

Cho'd cool, But Hasbro should have taken their time, Astonishing Cyclops and Emma are great, But I might get Emma and Monet from this wave, I also need to get the Outback Rogue as well as the Uncanny X-MEN #275 Gambit, Psylocke, and Banshee 3 pack for my own Legends collection.

Is Monet’s upper torso from Shriek, Siren, a resculpted Moonstone upper torso?

Have you tried the 12 inch Deadpool guns for Ch’od?

This wave is like on a different scale for some odd reason, Corsair and Cyclops should be at the same size, Emma cape is a dissaster, will be better like the old version removable. At this point I think Harding and Dwight are a wrong combo. I don't like their idea for Banshee, I don't like this idea for Emma, Dwight even ruined Marvel Girl, I think he just lost his mojo on this, he even created that hideous duck.

I've been waiting for a good Emma Frost...I missed out on the Hellfire Club set and refuse to pay the ridiculous after market price for it besides that clown make up on the head sculpt for that one is scuffed.......but I guess I'm still waiting. ....maybe I'll run across that figure second hand someday and get a custom head for her or maybe Hasbro will release a decent version of her at some point......disappointing for sure

Ch’od was sadly over looked they might redo him in a exclusive box set if fans vote with there wallets the latest avengers wave got double hands in each figure. But mutant wave got over looked. The details are in figures and if you don’t follow through the details get lost. Man they step so far back with this wave…😢

Damn i wish and hope we get a new Shatterstar after seeing Corsair!

I’m playing on get the cyclops and emma frost but I’m disappointed In the Emma, I’m not to mad about the single joints but the cape is a problem I hope i can find a fix for that

Reran 6/30/96.

I don't care about this version of Cyclops, nor about Kid Omega or Chamber, but unfortunately, I need them to complete Ch'od... who I'll be working on to correct what I can, I guess... some yellow paint at least & maybe a big gun 🔫 or weapons selection, fins, if possible... I'll use the Chamber body for a custom, Cyclops and pinky will be gotten rid of... Also, Corsair's sword is a "Cutlass", a "swashbuckler" would be what he and Nightcrawler are when they are sword fighting ("swashbuckling")... Just in case you didn't know and/or wanted to know, my Manny!😅

Bruh what snowflakes you talking about? 2016 called lmao

THE BEAST EMMA FROST EVER!

I think xmanny needs to work for hasbro marvel legends team since he always has so many gripes. Seriously!

Not one extra head sculpt is super lame. I agree that this wave feels rushed. Also, I would have liked Kid Omega put in a different wave, swapped with an updated Danger or Sage would have been cool.

The epitome of Hasbro's lazyness on the BAF.

Wonder if ghost riders head will fit on chamber

Being a revoltech and figma fan I'm so used to that kind of knee pads that it doesn't bother me at all 😂

he dont use the trigger on his "gun" to shoot.. which is why they didnt give him a trigger finger.

There's 2 figures I'll get just for their head sculpts.

You are speaking the truth. Frag the positive/ blind police. With price hikes , we want better. You said it best, LAZY. We know they can do better. We've seen great figures, and they pull shite like this. Great video

I was so bummed about the quality of chamber. He technically doesn’t have a lower jaw so giving his energy the beard look was Uber disappointing. Throw in those Picasso proportions and the nails cemented in the coffin. You’re saving me money with this review holmes 🙏 I doubt it’ll ever happen but if Mezco were to take a stab at this character, keeping in mind how utterly fantastical their Ghost rider is, that would be absolute top dollar I would commit to

Great video xmanny. Piss on the positive police I say. Understanding how much you adore the X-Men, I can only imagine your disappointment in this wave. Certainly not a good wave to start the X-Men 60th with. Cyclops looks like a Top 10 action figure of 2023. The one thing I did notice was that Emma's angry portrait looks awfully familiar to Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

21:42 the fang figure sort of reminds me of the Sabretooth figure from 2022 because of the head sculpt.

Yo bro Emma looks like wish sent you a Julian huff figure hahahahahahah

Idk why people hate this wave so much, it was much better than Vulcan wave the many plain Jane's and UK spidey baf, I would rate it a 7.5/10. As always, nice review!

Should've headswapped a ghost rider head on that chamber body

The Chamber arm complaint was weird, because you complain about his arms being too long and they should stop mid thigh...and you show on the video the figures stop mid thigh, not at the knee like you said in the video. Also, the complaints about M's boots, if you look at the artwork, that's literally how the boots and the knee guards are drawn. While you do have a point about Fang being listed at 5"4" he wasn't really drawn that way, but as for reuse of the costume, they really wouldn't be (modern wise) using a reuse of the body on Wolverine, they'd be using it on his son Daken, who currently has the codename of Fang and was given the Imperial guard costume of Fang as his current modern look. And finally as far as Ch'od goes, the trunks are black in the comics, but it's the typical using blue to highlight.

I Give Astonishing Cyclops A 100% New Body Mode Perfect Figure

Another BAF I won't complete because I have no interest in Chamber or Kid Omega. Another Wave where most of the Figures are good, but then they have to throw a couple of bad ones in. Why couldn't we have gotten a Hephzibah and still another member of the Imperial Guard? Actually, Fang is a deceased member anyway.

X-Manny... Be Nice! 😲😨 😏

This wave and it's inaccuracies or slop is just baffling. It's not like putting Fang on the wrong body saved the money. Why new abs for Corsair? Paint where it's not needed. It's so bizarre. Like they wasted money for no reason and then cheaped out where it would be glaring. I hate wanting to really love things and then they're just wrong.

you can remove cyclops red effect

I want gideon😢

Why does Corsair look like he’s wearing lipstick?

Welcome to the 50/50 wave. Hasbro was like what would the creature of the black lagoon look like on steroids 😅 with Ch'od, Fang hit a growth spurt (Gonna make a custom Werewolf by Night with the head sculpt), why not use the Ghost Rider arms on Chamber (cool head sculpt though)...., and we get our first Emma Frost Legends statue. M, Omega, Cyke, and Corsair are definitely the highlights. Awesome review and always a pleasure to watch a Manny highlight reel ✌️✌️

I’m only buying figures now if they’re correct. If they don’t do 💯 , then they lost my business. The prices are going up and we’re all getting less. They’re releasing figures nobody is asking for and keeping the characters that we all want hostage. Hasbro’s game is getting old very fast. We’re lucky to get paint and pay more. Yay!! 😆

I gotta agree that this is a weak wave, I am going to pass on this one and save money for some of the avengers products coming out soon.
