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
