If I recall correctly, Diamond Select still has this legal limitation that prevents them from putting better articulation on their figures in order to not have them compete with Marvel Legends. So while they've gotten better with the articulation they're still not able to give most figures double joints.

@Sethmonster sort of, yeah. But I think part of what keeps a lot of people from buying more Marvel Select is the limited articulation. Their Thor figures look great but can barely move!

@@vgamer11 it's scale more than anything. Legends collectors are sticklers for 1/12 scale. Articulation is the other justification though. Pretty much the same reason they rag on McFarlane DC...

@ReeceHoward06 I suppose so. I collect figures in the 1/12 scale and that's what keeps me from collecting more from companies like McF or NECA. But I am able to justify what I do buy from them if the characters are large anyway, or can fit in with my collection with modification. Marvel Legends aren't true 1/12 scale either, after all.

Then how on some figures like their spider man’s rogue Gamora lady Deadpool and others they have double jointed elbows but most don’t
1. Yes I love Beta Ray bull design, never read anything with him in it but his design is just super amazing. 2. Yet another HasBrah moment
Crazy thing with this is I paid £13 brand new from the Disney store. It was on clearance before most other retailers had him
Congrats on 200k subs!

Thanks!
When I first saw the thumbnail, I was like 'whoa, when did Legends look this good?' ,and then I read the title. Great figure and great review as always
Marvel Select Beta Ray Bill was a MUST HAVE for me... and seeing in my notifications that you reviewed this Marvel Select makes it a definite ULITMATE MUST HAVE for me! And yes, Beta Ray Bill is one of my favourite underrated characters, especially because of its amazing character design and features! Missed all the previous releases of Beta Ray Bill in figure form but it was worth it because there is this one hell of an amazing figure for a great deal and I didn't miss it! Got even more excited to receive it next month! Super glad you loved it as well and thank you for the amazing review!
I love Beta Ray Bill's design It's literally what a Comic Book Superhero should look like
Just subbed with notifications! :) But, seriously, I'm only just now dipping my toes into the collecting/displaying world, and this is one of my first pickups. I was at Disneyworld this past week, saw him, saw the price point and was like "YES." Love the channel! Grats on 200k!

Thanks a lot. Welcome.
I don't care about the character AT ALL, but picked this figure up anyway because it looks AMAZING. I hear you on the hammer effect being an oval, but in the display it just looks great. This is easily the best looking cosmic Marvel character I own. And for $30.
The Norse horse is one of my favorite marvel characters
Bojak Thor is one of my favorite. Was really happy to see DS do a figure of him.
Thanks for the video Anthony. Your review is dead on with this product. Since the day that big plastic windowed box in all of its glory arrived on my doorstep, I have been a proud owner. For me, the DST Marvel Select line has been a welcomed alternative to the weaker offerings from Hasbro. Likewise, I do not accept any excuses from Hasbro for price gouging collectors. Considering the standards to which ML sets for their products recently, it would appear the crime is pretty much a double jeopardy - more, for less. I want to personally thank you for taking the plunge into the Marvel Select brand. It offers some pretty decent accessories and their catalogue is growing exponentially; Beta, Vision, Red Hulk, and Apocalypse have been purchased in 2023 for roughly $120 USD. Hasbro's X-Men 60th Villain wave for about the same amount. Titanium Man, Torch, Silver Centurion, and Immortal Hulk are noteworthy. I am confident neither would disappoint.

If I remember correctly, he was also on Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and that was sick 🔥
I like Selects because I tend to not put my figures in crazy poses. Apart from scaling issues I think this guy rocks
I recently watched both seasons of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on Disney Plus with my son and really enjoyed how that show incorporated and interpreted Beta Ray Bill’s character. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the character.
This guy looks awesome. It's such a good value too. And since I collect 7" scale so I might start collecting Marvel Select.
30bucks?! This is a steal! Hope you review Marvel Select Apocalypse too! You are one of my trusted action figure reviewer. Thanks!
We lowkey do need a live stream every month perfect lil hang out. Congrats on 200k subs. And Anthony I think you should review a older neca figure that is just what a figure should be and can be . The neca assassins creed line review one figure and show how u could still get perfectly articulated figures who have a bulking sculpt

Thanks a lot. Don't own any of the AC figures. Sorry
Wow, my Beta Rey Bill just arrived today! (Along with my MS Apocalypse.) And then this pops up? Good day 😁
Beta Ray Bill is my favorite Marvel character! The fight between him and Hulk in Planet Hulk was epic.
I first got a proper introduction to this character reading the Sam Alexander Nova run, really enjoyed him in that. He's not a character I'm attached to enough to get this figure, but I can't deny how great this figure looks. I think the varied scaling of larger character in comics makes it easy to see why so many collectors put these larger scale Diamond Select figures into their Marvel Legends display, I know if they did a classic super rich shiny red Crimson Dynamo I'd grab that immediately.
I’ve got the Marvel Legends figure for Bill. For me, that figure is perfect for the character. I think the figure from Select is solid, chonky and for a the price, real decent. A bit too big, but fun and manic looking. Maybe would consider it in future.
I love this design! He's one of the coolest characters in marvel. The fact that he wasn't used in the Thor movie is a crime. Anyone that defends hasbro is delusional.

Didn’t even know this figure existed from Diamond Select. Immediately buying. Thanks for the review. Love the idea of the monthly hangout. Last time was surprisingly fun. You’re such a smart, eloquent, funny and genuine dude. Sorry if that sounds creeper.Keep kicking ass, Anthony.
The character design is super inventive and I love it. As always, thanks for the nitty gritty 😘🙌💯❤️
Any chance of reviewing the Marvel Select Titanium Man?

Horse Thor is a firm favourite for me. Looking at my 80th anniversary Thor now thinking “yeah, they could work together”.
His backstory is pretty decent for the old Thor comics, probably the first I was interested in
WOW wow wow. Great looking figure. If I see this one out in the wild I'll pick it up! Thanks for the consistently great videos, man.
I love Beta Ray and I love this figure. Diamond really shines on the large characters.

Indeed
DST are embarassing Hasbro with this. And they're already being shown up by McFarlane's DC figures which - as much as they might not be perfect as figures - offer far more sculpting detail and pound-for-pound more plastic than Hasbro's figures do for less money. Hasbo need to realise that if they're going to ask £30 a figure, the same body slopily repainted a hundred different ways with different heads and no accessories isn't going to cut it.
I LOVE Bata Arya Bill.. he’s sooo underrated
Awesome Man! Thanks for the vid on this guy!
I always keep my eye out for good Diamond select figures, normally the larger characters such as Titanium man and juggernaut, as they have a great size for Legends. Beta Ray Bill is a great character, great design. But it is very big. May still pick it up though
I personally love his character as well as this figure, although I do wish the plume on the helmet was a bit smaller.
Great review👍🏿. I have have marvel selects Beta Ray Bill and the Red Hulk in my collection. Both are pretty cool figures.
Some Diamond Select figures also go to Walgreens or bookstores with less accessories for under $20. i.e. I got the Walgreens John Wick with less accessories for $17. With all the accessories it was $30.
I like Bill, he just looks fun.
He should have a moveable jaw 100%
Waiting for Marvel Select Apocalypse Review! Nice Beta Ray Bill!
Venom figure came in. Finally can use your venom feet. (Yes I bought the feet first)
Thor's 6'8" thanks again for your review, I'm on the fence about this Beta Ray Bill
This figure does look good, I like Beta Ray Bill and even though I would rather own the classic version I have to admit this version looks way better. I agree with your critics, thanks for the review Anthony.
Beta ray bill is easily one of the coolest marvel characters
Very cool. My favorite Marvel character.
Totally agree hes an alien animal man, his scale shouldn't be an issue for such a beautiful figure!
I really wish they had given him an alternate fist hand, it's like the one glaring omission of an otherwise nearly perfect release. I mean, sure, having him a bit shorter, or just the same size as ML Thor would be nice, but he's a freaking viking space horse thunder god, I can deal with him being a bit big.
This figure looks so cool
I love Beta Ray Bill, even more than Thor. I also will be displaying him with my Marvel Legends. Being a big alien, it works.
I like him. He should replace thor in the mcu tbh
Beta ray bill looking like a ripped halo jackal
@AnthonysCustoms , nobody can mke sense of their (ML) pricing. Heck, they couldn't even sell out of there current stock of overpriced stuff when they had it at 30 to 35 percent off. Off topic, did you get the neca spider gremlin? Would like to see a review of that beast. About the same price as a deluxe marvel legends, and looks like it's worth more than any ML deluxe figure.
Hey Anthony, just wanted to know, when will you review Stormcollectibles Balrog?
I love Bill and keep wanting him in the MCU. He's debut comic and Godslayer are some really good stories fwiw. His original design is great, I'm not much for his modern redesign, but this one is fantastic. Really captures that Kirby comic excess. Hasbro's product is even more insulting when you consider the rumor Diamond is contractually limited with POA. Marvel license expense my ass.
it's a pretty cool figure, i really like it! Need to hunt one down
Great review btw
Looks awesome. To be fair the marvel legends Beta Ray Bill is also great
I really wish Select could do more articulation and maybe bring the size down to legends size and they would blow hasbro away, I feel hasbro needs marvel competition so maybe they will do better if they start losing ppl to a diff company cuz atm they are the only place making every marvel character and its like Hasbro: well if u dont buy from us who else is you gunna go with?
ive never seen him with that style of helmet. he's always had the basic thor hat with wings
I love this figure
Select Apocalypse next??
Looks Great in person he's huge 👌🔥 worth it
Beta Ray is the BEST Thor character, hands down. And this figure is really good!
I’ve always preferred beta ray bills design to thors
I hope 2023 marvel select sasquatch, wendigo, bishop,gladiator and /jugernaut, abomination ( with more heads and hands !!!
You can remove his shoulder armour and cape for more articulation and a sleeker look
What would you rate the Marvel select magneto if you were reviewing it these days?

I'm sure it doesn't explain the price hasbro is charging for what they give you, but I"d be curious what the license cost is for 6 inch articulated figures like Hasbro has vs. the license that Diamond has (I think they're limited to something like 20 points of articulation and 7in scale)

@@AnthonysCustoms Without knowing the cost, I guess I can't really comment on it. Personally, I don't like to give Hasbro defenders any ground to stand on, so I generally try to avoid making comparisons like that without acknowledging that there could be a very different cost associated with the different licenses. Hasbro sucks and does enough shady stuff that I don't even think you need to touch the license thing to show why the value just isn't there for them. As you've pointed out numerous times, they make stupid and lazy decisions that wouldn't cost more to do correctly. They just DGAF about the line or their customers.

@@TheMattTrakker The cost of the license should not be passed to the consumer. The reason for the license is that the property has value no? In essence, more people will buy a figure of most any value and quality because of the license, but more so if it is a quality use if the license, kind of like a multiplier.
This is not me being a hasbro shill bc the prices are way too high but I don’t think that select has to pay licensing bills for marvel figures bc marvel select is owned by Disney.
Just need a Santa head would fit into this figure then u have a Almighty Odin.
Are you gonna look at the marvel select apocalypse? I thought he looked way better than the retro ML apocalypse

I think he was gonna have more accessories cause in earlier photos he was shown with 2 fists and a closed mouth.
Darwin is just too powerful!
He looks like a dinosaur to me. He was one of the skins for Thor in the Ultimate Game.

Hasblow is back to their old tricks...I'm pretty much out on ML a select few no pun intended. Gummy figs less accessories...no thank you.
Marvel legends cost so much to make up for all the other shit that doesn't make Hasbro money. It is no coincidence that they raised the price of almost app lines, but had to cut the price of the NBA figures. They paid a shit load for the license and aren't making their money back.
I love beta bill ray one of my favorite marvel characters and i hope they don’t butcher him in the movies like thor the clown
I like Beta Ray Bill. Sadly, I know almost nothing about him. I thought he was cool in Planet Hulk.
Considering MS kicked ML's butt in the review, I could have seen Darwin lose this fight as well :p
Beta Ray Bill Rocks. wish they stuck with manufacturing the prototypes with closed mouth. Open mouth doesnt look as good.
