Black Panther is one of my favorite figure this year due to its simplicity. An unmasked T'Chala head would have been a nice feature and the hard plastic cape is useless but, it's still fun to have. Howard the Duck should be on this list.

The Blue Marvel head works pretty well.

I agree with everything except the Black Panther. I’m a little biased because it’s my favorite look for the character, but it came out just about as I thought it would. He’s so much fun to pose and in certain poses he looks bad ass. He could definitely be better than what he is, which is why I’d give him a 7/10 but I definitely wouldn’t say he’s worse than AOA Rogue.

Bizarre that Hasbro sees Transformers as a kids toy brand while delivering better and better production quality on niche characters from the 80s consistently to fill in collection gaps for older consumers for years straight yet sees Marvel Legends as an adult-oriented brand and delivering all of... this. And for the same price point too. Beyond insulting.

May not be worth doing every year, but I’d love an occasional ‘top weirdest / most interesting’, where you can showcase figures that may be memorable for not just being good or bad; but may just have a really unusual visual design or piece of engineering

The price creep is the only thing "collectible quality" about most MLs. I really am fine with them looking like fairly-basic toys as long as they're fun to pose. Occasionally there's a gorgeous figure but for the most part they all look like kids toys. In any case, fun lists and always enjoyable to watch.

Man this was great, thank you

LOL at all the AoA figures on this top, it's really funny because the Hasbro team was sooooo dang proud of that wave for some reason.

I'm sorry there's no way that black Panther is worse than that Hobgoblin. If you were disappointed that it didn't come with more paint or accessories, that is a valid criticism, but that doesn't mean the base figure is bad, let alone the 2nd worst figure of the year. It does its job as a basic black Panther figure. It's a good figure that is overpriced and lacks accessories. I don't need paint for a character that's one color. This was a bad year for marvel legends there are so many other figures that deserve to be placed on here to have this as 2nd worst. Hello the heralds of Galactus 2 pack with Terrax and fallen one? That one was terrible.

“They look like kids toys” lmao they ARE kids toys.

Aside from your thoughts, I've been avoiding ML this year due to the heafty price they've been getting as of late. I'm only going to be gathering from characters that I like.

People seem to like the Black Panther figure, but I have heard criticisms of the quality of it. I think that the Hatut Zarati(hope I spelled that right) should’ve been offered on pulse for less, since it is an army builder style figure.

I was stunned to see Black Panther on the list. He's in my Top ten

I dunno I might disagree with a couple choices - Magneto, Rogue, Black Panther... - but I can't disagree with the overviews. It feels like 2021/22 were the years for DIY repaints/touch ups like they used all the extra paint in the (terrible) cell shading? I mean even the GI Joe figures that used to be pretty good were missing paint. That being said the sculpt in most of them is still there so even if one is not skilled with a brush a lot can be done with a Gundam Marker to bring out those details - not that we should, after all we're not buying them as model kits, but it is something easily fixable. What actually pisses me off is the price hike in reused molds. I'm usually not that fussy about re-releases and reused parts but if you're doing an entire set of reused molds (X-men 3 packs 😒) you shouldn't charge more but less..? Also with the 3 packs: wtf?! Not only they should be cheaper for being basically reused mold but also because we're buying bulk and yet they're somehow more expensive than what we would pay for individual figures and worse: no BAF, the BAF (Blob) will be sold separately!! I understand that all the companies still active after the p@ndem!c (edited to avoid bots 🙄) are raising their prices to refill their coffers as if they weren't already rich before the p@ndem!c and Hasbro is doing the same but to raise the prices AND lower the quality is ridiculous... In one hand I really really want those 3 packs but on the other hand I also really want it to fail due to the high prices...

I agree with everything except for Black Panther. Could it have been more? Sure. But did it need to be? I don't think so. Black Panther's suit has always been simple. It looks exactly like it's supposed to. It especially shouldn't be so high up on the list (there's no way it's worse than AoA Cyclops, for example). I think there are worse figures missing instead: retro Sue Storm; Tigra, Future Foundation Spider-Man, What If T'challa (some people consider it a 2022 release), the amazon exclusive Mojo, Domino from the three-pack, etc. Anyway, the list was still fun. I wish Anthony and everyone on this channel happy holidays 🎄

The Darwin poses are hilarious.

happy holidays

I like you to do a top 10 good and bad McFarlane figures. Or Top 5 good and bad in one video. You reviewed a lot of them. We already know a couple that would makes one of the lists but there's plenty others to look at too.

I don't mind lack of shading in figures, and I love that Black Panther, but you're right that I shouldn't have to figure out where to but a gundam pen or whatever to make the gloves and boots look right.

Always thought this about marvel legends feeling too much like kids toys compared to other lines that people criticise like marvel select and McFarlane I mean the latter don’t do as much paint but still

When you posed Darwin attached to penguin. This is not even saving money anymore it’s just pure laziness, the point of a business is to try new parts and make a reasonable price for figures and improve them as you go.

I agree with everything except the Black Panther, I’d put him closer to the top ten best of the year

I agree with your list. I think you could do this list 3 more times with ten different figures each time lol that's how bad Hasbro has been. Though I think black panther could have been an honorable mention instead but believe me, I fully understand why he made it on the list and why he was #2. Hasbro is all about cutting corners in every which way.

So Darwin doesn't pose well, and yet we've seen you pose him in so many good ways. 😉Talk about turning a lemon into lemonade, and getting your money's worth with a disappointing figure! 👍 For your list, I think your choices are pretty good. I was going to complain and say that AOA Magneto and Rogue shouldn't be there, but then I looked at the other 2022 figure releases and besides Madame Hydra, arguably, I don't see any better replacement. Ok, you were perhaps a bit harsh on Black Panther, the figure does look good despite the total lack of effort on the paint. I suspect that's the one most people will disagree with in the comments. So yeah, I would have replaced Black Panther with Madame Hydra. Thanks for the video and happy new year!

Wasn't the Ursa Major wave released this year? If so, I'd say Hologram Iron Man was the worst of the year. Had a decent paint job, but nothing else was good about it.

Number 1 for me is the future foundation Spider-Man figure. On an old body and really gummy arms and legs. Mine came out already warped. Bad paint application.

Bro killed off the X-men wave

I just got cyclops, I’m really bummed the rest of the figs in that line aren’t up to snuff 😢

All those AOA figures peg warmed at my local stores.

I agree Black Panther would benefit from some painted highlights. The body looks good, but should've had a ball joint at the waist and a torso crunch or vice versa to give him more flexibility. Maybe even a ball jointed waist and diaphragm joint. I'd like a decent Magneto on the Vulcan buck. Can't wait for an updated Darwin.😁😂🤣

New Mutants #91 Sabretooth. Pretty much nailed the Rob Liefeld iteration of the character with that release

I personally enjoy the Black Panther figure, but I do agree with pretty much everything you said. They’re like reaching $30 and no real effort is being put on these figures, and some figuarts figures are like $25 at Target and not even some of the bad ones, like ssj blue and sroe Goku.
