today on collector's showcase we take a look at the mad Titan let's do this
infinity style hey guys welcome to collectors showcase
a new show on my channel where we take a look at a certain character and all the
figures I have within my collection of that character it's a way for me to show
off my Thunder my geekiness about a certain character but also show off my
collection at the same time this week we've chosen to go with the mad Titan
himself Thanos tell us been really popular right now because of the movies
but also because he was probably one of my favorite villains within the Marvel
Universe and no that's not just because of the movie version I've got to go back
to tell you about when I first got into Thanos and where I first met Valles in
the comics world
so the story goes I remember it sometime around 1997 my dad flew this comic book
at me across the table and said read that son the Infinity Gauntlet it was
number six in the collection but little did I know at that point that this was
number six as a young kid this was my first introduction to Marvel Comics it
was this fateful comic infinity goal in 1991 number six that would be the first
ever comic I would ever read obviously long after his publication date this was
1997 we're talking about and once I read it I knew I needed to go
to the comic book store and get the rest of the room so it seems awfully fitting
that we do Pharaoh's as the first of my action figure collection line especially
in this series of videos where Thanos was my introduction to comics and if
we're talking comic book figures there is no evil
Babur villain in my opinion than Thanos fighting for all the right reasons but
doing it in all the wrong ways and misunderstood villain and misunderstood
hero there's plenty of comic books to be reading of Thanos my personal favorite
will always be that Infinity Gauntlet series that was published back in 1991
penciler was Ron Lim cover ice was also wrong Lim and the work was just
beautiful and to see that author awesome awesome cover where nebulas got him
rather throw as though it was just one of them things like oh my god this guy
this guy is awesome and reading this comic book gave me an introduction to
Thanos so a little bit more about the character he first appeared in
invincible Iron Man number 55 and was created by jim Starlin all the way back
in February of 1973 his place of origin is Titan and he's affiliated with the
Black Order and the infinity watch and he's notable and aeleus is the mad Titan
so wishing to impress mistress death Thanos gathers an army of villainous
aliens and begins a nuclear bombardment of Titan that kills millions so Thomas
has gone across the galaxy throughout the comic book world collecting the
Infinity stones Samus has proven himself capable briefly holding a battle against
Odin and even blasting Galactus off his feet it's that in my books makes him one
of the most poignant villains in the Marvel franchise
so you guys have come see me collect quite a lot of things on this channel
from the Infinity Gauntlet to action figures to pop vinyls to t-shirts to
comics you know you guys know that I love me something us and I definitely
love me some Marvel so without further ado let's get a look at the figures in
my collection and show you what funnels figures I personally think are the best
so here is my infinity war sets up for you right now this is what we'll be
looking at today as you can see we've got multiple different versions of the
Thanos action figure including the small Infinity Gauntlet the Thanos quest comic
book trade paperback and also I've got infinity war there pause in the
background for FX but if we just come over here and take a look at the figures
first of all we're gonna look at this one this is the diamond select an
awesome featuring mistress death based on the original comic book mistress
death was the lady who was trying to impress and sends him on the quest to
get the Infinity Gauntlet and to get the stones to be the most powerful person in
the galaxy then we have the Marvel Legends Walmart exclusive Thanos now
this Stannis was basically a rerelease of the old bat figure and it kind of had
a little bit of a repaint a few different them you know touches made to
it but he's predominant the same figure this was released as a lot of collectors
didn't have in their collection and the Baths pieces were getting rather pricey
so it was nice that they did re-release this one I do like it because of the
shiny soft armor to it moving on up here now this is the Disney Store exclusive
mad Titan based on the modern-day version of Thanos a lot of people think
this is a cinematic M sorry the Marvel Cinematic Universe version which isn't
it's actually based on the modern day comic books infinity as far as I can
tell and I actually made the same mistake in my videos by saying I think
is mm CU but it really isn't although I do think this actually scales well with
the six-inch Marvel Legends figures because titan ii you know titans i meant
to be a lot bigger and he's meant to appear a lot more imposing so the big
7-inch figure does feel a little bit more thorough threatening towards our
Marvel Legends Cinematic Universe characters then we have this little guy
now this is one of the Marvel infinity figures and I think you think the line
was infinity back then but then we had read
ups at the Marvel Legends line this one's actually been customed though as
this hand isn't meant to come with this figure I don't actually know where that
gauntlet hand come from BRE the this figure was the one that came in the two
pack there with a comic book but it didn't come with this gloved hand he
only came with the two golden fists as far as I can see so somebody has
actually customed and put this on him which makes him look all the more
awesome in my opinion it does seem as if you have that same feel as the sort of
modern version of behind him so I've kind of stood them two together then we
have the the basic Thanos which is by Hasbro I haven't actually reviewed this
on the channel yet guys but this is from the guardians of the galaxy TV series
from Disney XD this version of Thanos is a little bit different it is based on
his cartoon counterpart that was also used in the Avengers TV series he
doesn't have an Infinity Gauntlet which is kind of an you know upsetting and
really witty on the Infinity Gauntlet and he's not that tall actually I wish
he was taller because he's actually the same height as star Ward and Drax the
destroyer which is a little irritating I wish he was taller but the figure was
one of the chase variant figures that was available in that line along with
nebula and yondu and I reviewed the original guardians figures but I never
got around to reviewing Thanos or yondu on nebula if you still like a full
popper review of the figure please do let me know even the Disney star got in
on the action when Thomas was at his peak of popularity by including the
Thanos infinity figure from the toy box range these are based on the original
Disney infinity figures so it's available setting to know that we could
have had a furnace in that infinity game clearly the had in the works as a lot of
the artwork and a lot of these figures are based on the original designs of
infinity I love this one as well he's won at least one of the few figures that
actually comes with the helmet as well this helmet seems to be based more on
the modern version of thermoses helmet similar to the cinematic movie a little
bit similar to this one but with the flaps at the side seems to stick out a
little bit more this figure was in my opinion
disappointing cause it where there was such a build-up for this everyone wanted
him so badly and then when he arrived it just felt such a letdown of that
gauntlet wasn't hollow why disneystore why let's hope we got a better one in
times to come but for now he'll have to do in that series then guys we have the
re-released version of the son offs bath that was from the MCU Marvel Legends
line this came with the 3-pack also included Doctor Strange and also I in
month I got this version as I never collected the buff pieces and I wish I
did now cuz you can get the close the Infinity Gauntlet for him but this
version is cool nonetheless he does come with multiple heads I've currently got
this version of the head on right now just as a bit more of a static pose for
him B does come with a mass snarling angry looking face the Infinity Gauntlet
well on this one I really like it because it's nice and chromed and it
just looks weathered and it looks good it looks like he's been trailing the
galaxy with it trying to capture all the stones yeah great figure though really
liked it possibly one of my favorites out of all of these but we'll decide
favorites in just a few moments and then of course we've got the Titan hero
figures Titan for a Titan this was a part of the Power FX whine where you can
basically attach a little device to his back and he speaks we never did get
around to getting one of those little fancy packs to make him speak but we've
got him for display purposes anyway more than anything we can do our own final
sound effects and voices if we really wants it you know such lines like I hope
they remember you this figure was okay wish it was more detailed but at the
time he came out it was one of the only thummell figures available so guys we
have nine figures here to go through I'm gonna do it in reverse order as least
favorites and most favors and then you guys get my number one pick and my
favorite thoughts from my collection so starting on number nine we
have the big Titan Thanos here just because lack of articulation is a five
POA figure and he's 12 inches and there's not a lot you can do with him
other display him so he is probably my least favorite of the ones that I own
next least favorite is probably gonna be the animated version of Thanos
he's the community number eight number seven is gonna have to be the Disney
infinity version the toy box version was such a letdown when it came out for me
as much as it was cool figure that glove really just ruined it for me just it
ruined it too much number seven probably the little guy and a little guy at
number seven just because he is compact that all the three-inch figures in the
line he is are still a little bit shot I would have liked him to be a little bit
taller against some of the other figures
who next next in the lines probably maybe this guy whilst he is called the
shiny shiny armor and it's okay it is not my favorite it's a bit too metallic
for me then we'll probably go with this guy next I love the size of him he's a
big giant of a figure it's just a bit of a shame that it's just an older figure
at this point and in that jawline I wish she came with a different head cuz that
job makes him look like Ron Perlman that's no disrespect to Ron Perlman I
think he's a great actor next oh it's coming down to it's coming down to the
Disney Store Marvel Select and the MCU Marvel Legends than us I think you guys
know where I'm gonna go next Marvel Legends stars is okay he's great he's
perfect he's an awesome representation of the MCU version and I really do think
they hit it on the nose with this figure but my number one choice is going to the
Disney Store version I just love the way this looks it stayed on my shelf for so
long and you know what he's still up there now he sits up there with kingpin
as been my one of my number one choices figure forth on us but guys like I said
that's just one guy's opinion and that's all it is
it's an opinion so what in your opinion guys which is your favorite let me know
in the comments and what is your favorite Thanos memory do you have a
thermos memory something like that you first collected or anything that you've
picked up and that you cherish for this character let me know in the comments
