hey guys me host supersorrell thank you very much tuning in
it's marvel's apocalypse this figure is so awesome i'm really happy to have this
in my collection this is apocalypse from the age of
apocalypse line you can tell from the nice logo at the
top there says age of apocalypse it's based on the original age of
apocalypse and graphic novels and comic book line
uh that was way back in there was it 80s and 90s
and there's a nice product shot on the back of the box which is really cool
he's got a humanized skull there because it's about the destruction
of the humans and the rise of the mutants
and there's a nice little story in the back that reads apocalypse launches an
offensive against humankind in pursuit of a world where mutants rule and the
old and only the strong survive now you guys
have seen me review um a lot of the age of apocalypse
figures and take photos and stuff of them for now
and uh this is one of the figures that i've been dying to get in my hands
uh this is the apocalypse this is apocalypse man this is the one we wanted
the other apocalypse was cool but this one's better because it's
it's oh i can't explain it this is life you read asian booklets
as a youngster like i did this was the apocalypse that was like
badass this is apocalypse and his prime apocalypse has
destroyed the world and got what he wanted and there's a nice artist shot on
the side there same on both sides not much else going
on in the box so let's break it open guys did anybody read age
of apocalypse like i did as a kid i remember going to the comic book store
um i didn't read all of them the combo star though i remember i got some of
them and then the rest of them i picked up
many years later on trade back
my as i was growing up my library was that was actually very good
with comic books
so i used to go to the local library here go and go to the library for comic
books but then as i was as i was like getting
older there was a place um back in the day in the town of
the city of wakefield it was called the old vicarage
and it was this big building that had like a gothic shop on top that was
called the hellraiser and then there was a comic book store on
the bottom and there was an oldish guy that ran it
and basically he had like binders and binders of comic books and he only
charged like for certain comics he'd only charge like 50p a comic because
they'd be from like the 1980s and stuff like that
and he had no use for him really and it just it's so it's selling onto us
and like for quite cheap and stuff like that and we kept going back week after
week that's how i read the original night
stalker comics because he only wanted like
i i think they were like 50 like 50p just mcdaft
so i read like most of the love that that storyline
but the age of apocalypse was one of the stories that i did get
um in gra in the original trade pay payback form from him and they
were all like i think he charged like back then
we are talking late 90s early 2000s but it was like they only charged me
like 15 quid and graphic novel and now those things go for stupid money
and i don't have them anymore and i wish i still had them
but you know that's how things go and i'm now trying to
go back and refine them all in the one and people on ebay are wanting like
50 quid each for the comics now it's ridiculous
i think i've got the first two on my shelf behind me
right so here he is out of the packing and i'm loving that face there's a lot
of laughing phase
especially when you tilt his hand till the head to one side is looking
and shove that skull in there
there's that's more sinister now isn't it
the humans have been eradicated
all hail mutated let me take the cave off just gonna show
his articulation so it's the same as the baffic
really he's got these lovely big shoulder pads that do pop on and off
um that top part here around his neck they have also used a little bit of a
thing to hold them in place i'm not sure why i don't really want to take it off
oh it does come off though this piece does come off uh the heads obviously pop
off as you've got an alternate um head which is just the regular not
smiling face
which for the cons for the for the review i'm actually going to put that
with the head on i like the laughing face don't get me wrong the last phase
is cool so i've just take that little tie off
now
i think for the purposes of review i'm going to want him to have the more
serious face on
yeah so it looks a bit weird without without the cape but
so he's got the middle hinge there which obviously rotates back and forwards also
got the waist swivel his arms do lift up all the way with some nice click action
there so that's noise nice and tight you can rotate that
around as well as at the bicep with a single hinged
elbow which is kind of hindered by these gauntlet pieces and the hands
are on ball joints the legs do lift out all the way as well
as forwards backwards there's a top thigh cut there
he does have double hinge knees which is nice and he does have a boot cut
and the feet are on rocker and pivot there's not much going on in the way of
pain issues there's a couple of scuffs on them all already
um around the top of the boot there's some paint defects around the top of the
boot as well where the silves in the red the reds and silver and vice versa
he does have some holes in the bobby's feet though should you wish to peg him
to a uh stand to be fair i think i would like a
throne for this guy i think he would look awesome son of a throne
or if you if we could actually i'd love somebody who had a 3d printer
that could basically take these little skulls and make more
of them like hundreds more and what we could do
is you could glue them all down to a board
and build them up into a pyramid and make a little stand at the back
for apocalypse to stand on with one foot on top of the
on top of the the pile of skulls have him looking and laughing at that other
skull in his hand like outstretched like that with his
head to one side and having stood like that
with the cape and stuff so it'd be like that laughing
at their skull while stood on a pile of human skulls
that would make the best diorama for this guy ever
i've got a feeling that hasbro we're going to do something like that
um for comic con because i remember when they announced this guy they said that
you should have seen what they had planned for comic con
and i imagine that they would do something like that because it would
look pretty cool now this is where as well the little
skull by the way has got some great paint work going to it actually looks
and feels weirdly like a proper skull wood
it's a shame that this didn't put a hole in it though for us to use on our marvel
legends figures because as sad as it is imagine if you
could attach that to like um say a cyclops figure
and then you know have that on top of the head of the finger and have him limp
lay in there as he looks like he's be he's been there for a while sort of
thing you could make a really cool diorama out
of stuff like that like he's lost against apocalypse and
his body's just laid there for years we have crushed them all they stood
before us and we destroyed them humans
are no more
i love apocalypse he's one of the best villains of all time
he's just such an absolute badass nobody comes close to him
i'm going to attack his little cape back on here
got to be careful with that little skull i'm going to put in a little bag and put
it in there in my accessories box behind me i need
to sort through that accessories box one day and i might do it on a live stream
and film myself doing it because there's that much stuff in there be awesome to
go through are we doing now guys is i'm gonna head
on down to the desk cam to give you guys an up close personal look at this
apocalypse so let's go to the desk cam all right guys here is out of the box
and set up here on a bit of a diorama going on
where's already destroyed forge now he's working his way through jean grey in the
age of apocalypse such a great figure he got very loose
very fast though i did find that i did have trouble
once i started messing with him this leg wants to constantly go left now
and yeah it's a little bit loosey-goosey very quickly
um but the figure itself is so cool the i like that laughing face now that he's
like staring down jean grey like he's got it i love that
it's just so cool i need help looking at him more though
there we go yeah such a cool little setup
and yeah the figure itself is super nice and they have done a great
job at capturing this version of apocalypse the laughing face is a lot of
fun actually i'm gonna be able to get a lot of use out of that
and the cape as well is a little bit annoying it pops off quite regular but
it's easy enough to get on and off so i'm not that mad
um like i said the sculpting work is very nice i like all the marbling in the
paintwork there between the dark blue and the light blue really
making those muscles and things pop and the machinery look
working way down as well it's just an awesome figure and they've done a great
job like i said they're bringing this bad boy to life
and of course we've got poor forge they're laying under the foot
yeah that's what i have to be doing i have a lot of fun a lot i like
apocalypse as the all being the old badass bad guy i watch the x-men
uh cartoon as a kid and apocalypse was that
bad guy on there that you know destroyed everyone had no mercy
and also i remember the bit from the age of apocalypse where um basically magneto
does he rip him in half i think
yeah there's some great fight scenes in av apocalypse it's definitely worth
picking up now that i'm older i've obviously gone
back and re-read them and obviously the stories are a lot deeper than when i
remember when i were a kid but yeah the the actual um
figure and the reason for making it is brilliant i'm glad they made it to go
with our age apocalypse figures adrian apocalypse one of those story
lines in x-men comics that's never going to grow old it's never going to go away
fans are always going to love it so i'm glad we've got the toy line now to go
with it but guys what are your thoughts on this
