Not really a huge Jocasta fan- but it's always nice when a D-lister makes the cut. I'm sure she was on quite a few top 10 want lists.

The whole box has an Iron Man theme, so the inclusion of Ms. Spidey is more than a bit odd.

Thanks for the heads-up! Had some GameStop reward points, so might as well go ahead and snag this set.

Can't believe we are getting so close to the release of WandaVision on Disney+. Glad to be getting back a little taste of the MCU in December.

I know we have constantly talked about how awful Anthony's Custom reviews are, but this dipshit douchebag just provided what may be the lousiest toy review I have ever seen. I don't know why I clicked on it initially, I guess given it was only 5 minutes long I figured he would shit on the figure, but god damn!!

[hasbroherofan]

I stopped watching him when he wouldn't stop ****ing about toys of characters he didn't like. I don't really care if someone buys a figure and decides it's crap. That's literally part of being a toy reviewer. It's buying a figure of a character you know you don't like and then spending the review moaning about how "the figure itself is fine, but this character is bulls*** and comes from a ****** game that sucks!" that I found obnoxious. Nobody is forcing you to buy anything, buddy!

[Captain Nash]

Wow. I have to question, if he disliked the figure that much, why spend even that much time on it. His bitching could have been done in a quarter of the time with a quick review of the standard articulation. He literally relied on one "descriptive" phrase to carry his review by repeating it ad nauseam. It didn't work, he just came off looking like a poor quality reviewer instead.

edit- I'm not saying reviewers can't review figures they don't like. But I'd think they'd want to spend as little time on them as possible and get to the good stuff. I know although many of us are not reviewers, when we give a rundown of a wave, most of us gloss over the ones we don't like and focus on the ones we do. With some exceptions (Yeah legless Cannonball I'm looking at you).

Thanks! Looking up stuff on Jacosta led mostly to Marvel Zombies 3 and Machine Man all decked out with Zombie killing gear- that extra Warlock hand was just perfect!

I stopped watching him almost 2 years ago, but made the mistake of checking out his Venom review last week. He opened with a line I HATE to hear from collectors. He said he thinks it's weird to collect figures of real people. There's something about hearing that from collectors of action figures, majority of which are made up characters, that bugs me. Like it's been pointed out before, why buy a figure of something you have no intent on keeping just to "review" bash the figure? Seems kind of silly, but it's the life of a reviewer. He's had some solid reviews, but he comes across as a very annoying individual, especially with his trend of bashing theatrical figures since the beginning of 2019. Not sure what brought the change, but it's annoying.

Agreed on all accounts. Not liking a figure is fine, but in this review he started out acting like a childish brat and I don't get why. Clearly he hates Morbius, but then, what characters does he like? I've never seen him praise anything but the Lightning Collection White Ranger.

Very nice! When she was peg-warming I used mine to make Magma- but then forgot to replace her. Once the latest Symbiote wave came out I wanted to add her to the shelf but she's now a $50ish figure (???) Thankfully a buddy had bought one for the hands and had her in his fodder bin- $5 for shipping and Scream is back in action!

[bashpics99]

Robb, Thanks for the heads up about the SW/VIsion 2-pack!!

Agree with others here about Anthony's reviews, not only is he unnecessarily negative but he's so repetitive, just repeating the same criticsm over and over (in this case, a pretty crude one at that). I'm not a big fan of the Morbius figure myself but seems like with so many new figures out right now that he could find some for characters he at likes. But for his viewers it seems like part of the appeal is watching Anthony go off on how bad a figure is... different strokes, i guess.

For what it's worth (not much, I'm sure), I found the balance of Connery's work to be pretty damn entertaining. Baba Wawa interview aside, I've enjoyed his screen persona and still consider him the best Bond to date. His few sci-fi explorations (Zardoz included) were entertaining with Outland, Time Bandits, and even the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen all being good-to-great experiences for me.

...yeah, I left out the Highlander on purpose.

You guys claiming that all Anthony does is bag on figures are clearly not watching a lot of his reviews. Either that, or you have selective memory or a bias of sorts.

He's given high scores and praised a bunch of figures in several reviews...especially in these past few weeks, including most of the Venom wave, the Jazwares Master Chief, several of the recent Mafex Batman releases, most of the G.I.Joe Classified line, Rogue and Pyro and of course the recent Storm in which he constantly gushed about her "cakes".

I enjoy the guy's reviews to be honest, and truthfully, I value his opinion over that of many of the more popular YouTubers, because he's more willing to call a spade a spade. (And I watch A LOT of different reviewers, including MCUCollector, Toy Bro, Unparalleled Universe, Optibotimus, DAmazing, and others...) I feel a lot of these YouTube influencers give toy companies a pass in order to not burn bridges with their suppliers who provide them with review samples or sponsorships. Does Anthony nitpick? Yes.
Does he harp on issues like anatomy a bit much? Absolutely. Is he constantly plugging his own products? It's his channel...so why shouldn't he? In the end though, not everything gets a ten out of ten or an orgasmic S.U.D. rating like some reviewers tend to give, and that's what gets my attention. When Anthony gives something a good review rating, or gushes about something in a video, it's the fact that he's not so quick (or easy) to give praise. It becomes a cause for me to take notice, as it makes the review feel just a tad bit more credible than all the rest.

Totally concur. In other words, he's not a kiss ass. If a figure sucks, he'll say so. Just like him, I don't collect 6' figures of cosplaying Hollywood actors, just comic based ones. Where you see Thor, I see Chris Hemsworth in a movie Thor costume. I see Scarlet in a tight Leather outfit, not BW.

[MeLikeJinx]

I can't remember which figure exactly, but it was an X-men Legends and I remember his review was so nitpicky and negative I never watched another review of his again. Also... I don't like his voice. His reviews have great lighting and camerawork though, so if you watch it muted you can watch it just for the visuals.

I prefer my toy reviews to be straight forward and less emotional though... don't need someone to have strong opinions on toys like he is a radio talk show host always trying to elicit a response from his viewers... which I guess technically is what you are supposed to be doing as youtuber to increase engagement.
