Darwin punting the baby at the end was incredible lol.

Damn. That windowless packaging also enables false advertising as well. Never even thought of that. Incredible.

The "4+" age rec on the packagings make sense now lol.

@@gabrielsierra9164 Yeah the "no paint" crap seems like a sign of that XD

When I got this figure, I just straight up removed the cell shading, and some time later I got the Spinerette and modified the arms to swap them to this Mystique just to have the new articulation in the elbows that was promoted in the back of the damn box🙄

Idk why, but I was almost expecting her to come with the candle she has on the box. Idk, it’s just weird to showcase her randomly holding a candle on the front of the box and then not have her come with it, but maybe that’s just me

I really appreciate your in-depth reviews. I don’t even collect legends but I find your interviews entertaining and wonderfully brutally honest. But I was just wondering if you actually purchase these all yourself or does hasbro like abuse and send them to you. Do you improve these yourself so you can enjoy them or do you melt them down off camera and produce tie die frisbees

Damn, I lost it when Darwin kicked the baby 😂.

I canceled my preorders as soon your initial reviews went live, lol. Fast forward to the present and, considering nothing has changed (the only one I've picked up is Cyclops), I'm very glad I did. Thanks!

The only one of the VHS X-Men figures that’s worth a damn is the Cyclops. I’m genuinely shocked that Hasbro bothered keying in the belt strap into the ab-crunch to make the articulation look seamless.

As soon as the video started… ooooh those legs!!😂😂😂

Imagine if they made a new mystique with the ab crunch that the new black widow body has

Sounds about right. I literally bought this as a gap-filler for my X-Men Rogues gallery. Given the shameless rehash and price I bought this figure begrudgingly and didn't even open it until almost a week later. Once I finally got around to doing so I gave the figure it's two guns, stuck it on the shelf, and didn't pay it any mind until your review.

I love how this figure, more than most, shows us how much better it could have been via the packaging while still containing a turd in the box. The shading is just baffling. They almost square-off her bust, she looks like a character model from an early 3D PlayStation game. And when they actually give one of the figure's in this line a decent amount of accessories, they make sure that they suck. I hate myself for buying these figures and for wanting the series to come back so I can finish the team, even though they're not likely to put any extra effort into them.

As much as I loved the X-Men animated series, the figures have been disappointing. I pre-ordered the first few figures, saw your reviews, and canceled those orders as soon as I could. I don't regret it at all. I spent my hard earned money on way better figures and am happy I did.

I LOATHE the VHS line. It's just glorified re use mostly That "shotgun" believe it or not is actually a comic accurate gun they been reusing for about ten years.

I really wish hasbro would’ve chosen to make this release so much better. They could have at least given her the new female body parts for improved articulation. Instead, this is yet another release that I want only because it is relatively affordable and has a classic design.

Darwin at the End Kinda reminded me of Snitsky from WWE kicking the baby😅

Made me think of South Park “don’t kick the GD baby” lmao

Guess I'll get the non-animated Mystique online. I never even got any of the VHS figures; it was either retro-carded/normally-boxed figures on discount or back-collecting stuff like the Love Triangle 3-pack

Bought cyclops and morph on the warehouse sale 18.78 each

The false advertising really bothers me, that and the terrible shading. I collect mostly Marvel legends female figures, and to find good figures is a big challenge for me. After this review i can honestly say that she won't be part of my collection, great video !

9/10 for the suffocating baby Hulk accessory.

Hasbro needs to show photos of the actual figure on the packages. Not some make believe digital render. I only buy Marvel Legends on new improved bodies (they still could be better) articulation), and if they're discounted. This figure really takes the piss.

Btw, you need to review the Classified Falcon figure, just to have a laugh together XD

She looks like a re pop of the Walgreens exclusive from years back.

Smh It's such a shame because Mystique is one of my most favorite X-Men characters and they have really poorly executed her figures over the years. Wonder when we'll finally get a accurate really good one? Lol damn Darwin is absolutely merciless!

I wish Neca would do X-Men and Spider-Man Animated Series figures.

Darwin drop kicking the bebe 🤣😂

Some people are getting these just to put the boxes on their book shelf.

The photo slides at the end were a masterclass in visual storytelling. QOTD: I don’t swear on the internet all that often, but fuck this line, basically. You summed it up best as a cash grab predicated on nostalgia and this one is the worst offender because of the false advertising.

Imagine if they actually put care into these.

Oh my, can't believe the arms' false advertising, that's low .-. Maybe she was celebrating and not scared at Darwin kicking her baby? lol

If I can get this figure on some sale I’ll get it but I do have the Walgreens one from few years back so I guess I’m good with that one

I ONLY bought this VHS Mystique because all 5 of my then-local Walgreens Never Had Her In Stock. also vhs Cyclops because he's just better built.

Sad thing is I would have considered this if the double-jointed elbows were intact, that way it'd be an upgrade over the Walgreens version. But no, life's not fair, we get a quarter assed release. Cyclops was at least on the new-ish Vulcan body and looks incredible for it (Give or take the half-ass cel shading) Does Hasbro even give a damn anymore? Or are they too busy making love on their bed of money to care so long as the shills and brand loyalists keep buying overpriced, subpar product? When Dollar Tree toys present a better value, you're in trouble

So how much you think we’d get in a false advertising lawsuit? Just our $25 back?😂

200k happy for you man

Hasbro's version of cel-shading is unpurchaseable. When it is applied to a repainted product Hasbro's efforts deceives its original product. The first Mystique is a grail for some collectors, and this product does very little to those collectors who missed out on it. I hope that Darwin-punts for lousy products become a standard on your channel.

lmao, how does it come with warped joints. I noticed this on the amazon set the other day too

The difference in the render and the figure itself is inexcusable imo. These figures look bad, even by Hasbro "cel-shading" paint standards.

😂😂😂 Darwin claims another scalp lol #undefeated 👏👏👏

3:57 that is extra shitty considering the no plastic "tO sAvE tHe PlAnEt!" Yeah sure Hasblow, it's not to cheat customers with worse qc.

Greetings, I have a big question, if these figures bother you so much (I share the feeling with some) why do you keep buying them? The ideal would be to review figures that are to your liking that you like and recommend. I've always wondered why review a product you don't feel comfortable with. P.D: excuse my poor english.

Wanted to really watch this just to see how much you would hate it.

I'm fan of the X-men the animated series, but not a fan of "animated shading" because it doesn't make sense. If you wanted "animated shading", then they should be statues. Action figures, which are meant to be posed in different positions, will always break the animated shading illusion, if you attend to pose them differently from how the shading dictates. It also doesn't help that shading is done incorrectly and half assed by Hasbro. This toy line is basically a cheap looking money grab gimmick, which is over priced for what you are getting, just to prey on buyers who are nostalgic on a beloved series. Easy pass for me.

The figures all have polio

Got this figure for like £13 and was still disappointed

Glad Hasbro is helping me save money

Only issue I have with McFarlane is the lack of accessories or putting alternate heads behind a paywall on the same figure (I.E. unmasked heads for Batman). However Toddfather's looking to change that it seems with those Nolanverse figures, they look great!

Darwin is the best thing that happened...😂

I thought maybe this one would be an improvement. Nope.

to answer your question, Nope. I gave up on marvel legends in general. For a few more bucks I can get a way better figure. The stuff they keep shipping out is trash and no care for them. $30? I expected better quality.

I'm just disappointed with this line period...nothing more than overpriced repaints on very old bodies with little to no paint and no accessories. That being said, Hasbro is a scam but what's worse are the collectors that are "just happy to have it" mentality. That's the bigger part of the problem in my opinion. So Hasbro knows that most of their consumers are people who simply just don't care and have no real standards or expectations. So they bank on those guys. Idk, I hate to rant lol but as a collector; Hasbro is legit a slap in the face for the Marvel Legends line.
