Hey everyone, it's Dog here for AIPT and what have we got here
0:14
I don't know if you've seen this or not, but yes, I went to my friendly local GameStop
0:19
and they had it right there waiting for me. It is the Marvel Legends Deadpool back in black 6 inch figure
0:27
Of course, if you don't know what that's from, it was actually a follow up miniseries to
0:32
a Secret Wars miniseries where it was revealed of course that the Venom symbiote, see the
0:40
face right there, originally became bad because Deadpool, believe it or not, was the first
0:45
wearer in the Secret Wars and not Spider-Man. Do you believe that
0:51
Okay, this is the figure. We always used to say, oh they're just doing this so they can make toys out of it, but
0:58
then you never actually see the toys. Here's a very strange, kind of one-off character that they did actually make a toy out of
1:05
Deadpool, Venom, I guess there's demand. Let's take a look at the back
1:10
Beautiful, beautiful pose on the back and if you remember my Hydra video, the Hydra
1:18
2 pack toys are as exclusive, I was complaining about how things didn't fit in the hands
1:24
Are those weird katana things really going to fit in those symbiote tendrils
1:28
That's what I'm interested in. But it looks cool, he's got a little whip hand, hold the katana
1:34
If I can make this pose in real life, I will be happy. And I don't mean myself because I'm too fat, but if this figure can do it, I'll feel like
1:41
I've gotten my 20 bucks worth. So let's open her up, see what she can do
1:48
I did want to show the packaging if you're curious. Almost everything is here in the top layer of plastic katanas
1:56
A couple of symbiote hands I guess, kind of gross in a good way
2:07
Big and grabby. And there's another regular hand I guess to replace the whip hand
2:16
But the big tendril-y things on the back, actually in a different layer. Ta-da
2:22
So I guess that's good packaging, good foresight, so these things wouldn't break. Wow
2:32
Sure, that's alright. No real, it's not very malleable. I mean you can bend them, you see me bending them
2:45
But you're not going to put them into different positions. Honestly, I'm okay with that
2:50
I prefer static things. If I have too many choices, I don't know what to do
2:54
So if I just slap it on his back, and it'll hold something, I'll be happy
3:00
So hey, look at this! I did some switching around, and look, look
3:05
The tendrils hold the katanas! And surprisingly well! Especially since, I don't know how close I can get a shot of this, but it doesn't look
3:17
like they're actually meant to hold the katanas, unlike what's seen in the box
3:25
They're just kind of, it doesn't look like it's sculpted specifically to hold an object
3:34
And yet it works! And you know, they actually, well, moving around a little bit, and I don't think, well
3:41
they're not falling out! That's pretty cool! And you can move them, this one I actually had in a different orientation before, so
3:51
you can put them different ways. It was kind of pointed at his crotch before, I figured he wouldn't like that
3:56
See I put the monstering hands on, the venom head, because the tendrils are coming out
4:01
and this is super venomized Deadpool. And yeah, it's pretty good! I kind of wish the tendrils were spread out more, they're kind of just right above the
4:13
top of his head, and you can't even see the one by his left ass cheek. See
4:20
He's being pickpocketed by his own symbiote. But this one is there, and the head is nice, actually the more normal head was very flexible
4:33
Maybe I'll put that on again and show you. But this head still goes up and down, and it has the normal amounts of, here, let's
4:41
see how rough I can be with this. Katana's still holding! Take a look at the legs
4:49
The normal amount, see the foot and the knee and all that, the normal amount of poseability
4:55
you'd expect from a Marvel Legends figure. I don't even know what I'm showing you, you know this
5:03
The hands went in pretty easily too, the right snapped in more easily than the left
5:08
I kind of had to push it and it didn't really give you that satisfying snap sound
5:12
By the way, the katana's still in the tendrils. This is pretty well made
5:18
What does it look like in the back? The tendrils on the back, it seemed like you could put them in this orientation or upside
5:28
down, although again, kind of like the left hand, it was difficult to snap it in, and
5:33
it didn't look quite as good, so I'm assuming this is the preferred orientation, but you
5:38
know, it's your figure, do whatever the hell you want with it
5:43
Stands well, katana's still grasped, I'm impressed. So there it is, the 6 inch Marvel Legends Deadpool back in black
5:56
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect with this, it was kind of an impulse buy, because
6:01
I sort of started accumulating venoms and thought, well I better get this one before
6:07
I have to suffer ebay prices, so there it is. And yeah, it exceeds my expectations, I gotta be honest
6:19
I kind of, I put both of the normal hands back on, and you see this hand holds weapons
6:25
much better than those HYDRA hands do, if you remember my HYDRA 2 pack video
6:32
I left the tendrils on, just to see what they look like without weapons
6:41
Let me see if I can kind of pose the head a little bit, without knocking anything over
6:48
Oh, too late. You see the head does move very nicely, back and forth, up and down
6:53
I'm not Garganfell, but that's okay. Because Deadpool is still standing, and that's what counts
7:01
So yeah, if you can go out, I have no hesitation in saying, if you want this figure, don't wait
7:08
It was super easy to get from GameStop, I was just playing around on their site, said
7:12
oh you can pick it up there, they probably don't have it. Boom, I had it reserved within like 30 seconds, went and picked it up, no problem
7:21
So yeah, the Deadpool back in black, Venom symbiote crazy mashup thing
7:29
Highly recommended, add it to your Venom collection if you so like
7:34
And I'm sure there will be more to come. This is Dog, for AIPT
