00:04 Legends x-men 97 Marvel's rogue
00:09 bring the excitement and wonder of the Marvel Universe to your collection with
00:26 Hasbro's Marvel Legends Marvel's rogue and other x-men action figures this
00:30 collectible six inch action figure is detailed to look like Marvel's rogue
00:33 from Marvel Studios x-men 97 Marvel's rogue Marvel Legends figure is fully
00:38 articulated with premium design and poseable heads arms and legs the Marvel
00:42 action figure comes with two accessories Hasbro Marvel action figures six inch
00:46 scale make them great for posing and displaying in fans collections now
00:51 before we look at the articulation on Anne-Marie before that of course when we
00:54 get looking at the figure and just before that we're gonna be looking at
00:56 the accessories but before all of that we're gonna be bringing in the tape
00:59 measure and see how tall the figure stands and I'll also be in a second be
01:02 bringing the other figures that we've already had a look at that being
01:04 Magneto that being gambit and that also being Wolverine in the case though of
01:09 her height you're looking at rogue being about six inches of that or you're
01:13 looking at the figure of being roughly about 15 and a half centimeters tall I
01:17 am holding out hope that our line graph is gonna be on the steady incline again
01:21 having already abruptly declined when we looked at this guy here's what she
01:25 looks like along with Magneto here's what the figure as well looks like with
01:28 her bow gambit if I can get gambit just a stand gambit has a little bit of a
01:32 teetering problem when it comes to his ankles I'm gonna have to go and fix
01:35 those and then here's all as well what the figure looks like with met with
01:38 Wolverine now Wolverine again if you were to look at how the line graph
01:42 increased and inclined Wolverine was a great-looking figure gambit was even
01:46 better of a figure and then of course it just sort of plummeted a bit when we
01:49 looked at Magneto but based again on just the sculpting of what we got with
01:53 rogue I see high hopes for the remaining of this line what I see though with rogue
01:57 though is not a lot of accessories the figure seems to be using a trait that
02:01 has been recently used a lot with rogue figures and that's the fact that the
02:05 figure comes with a removable gloved hand the hand then has also a bare hand
02:09 that you can then replace with the hands that she has currently in the sockets of
02:12 her forearms to show you first those other swapped out hands she has this
02:16 hand which again only serves a purpose then if you're using this hand if you
02:19 happen to say lose this hand and provide you have maybe another skin tone hand I
02:23 guess you're okay but if you were to say lose this this would then make this
02:26 pretty much null and void it's basically her removing the glove then on this hand
02:30 and really makes for an interesting looking pose as well to do that all
02:34 you're gonna do is take your figure and one thing about it though is while you
02:37 are removing the hands here you want to make sure as well first of all let me
02:40 just take the gloved hand off you want to make sure as well you're gonna remove
02:43 the cuff too because it doesn't make any sense it makes sense fine for the hand
02:47 that's gonna be removing the glove so this hand actually can keep the glove on
02:50 this side the cuff on this side but if you're gonna be removing say this hand
02:54 you're gonna also as well make sure that you're gonna be removing this part the
02:57 only thing about it though is that there they are so small the likelihood of them
03:01 being lost is quite high so you want to just make sure you kind of remove them I
03:04 mean obviously they wouldn't been able to glue these in place because it would
03:07 made no sense then for her to have a bare hand and then still the top of her
03:10 glove so you're gonna want to make sure you remove that as well and then go
03:13 ahead and put the ungloved hand onto the of course the other forearm and then
03:18 just bend the hand of course make it look like she's pulling her glove off I
03:21 did actually have a little bit of an issue with her elbow I have I at least
03:25 thought I had loosened it up a little bit with a hairdryer I may even have to
03:29 take a few more passes with it but like with the hands you can actually get them
03:32 in somewhat of a pose looking like she's actually pulling the glove off I always
03:36 think that's fun and it seems to be a trait lately a trend lately I would say
03:40 with rogue that they seem to have a lot a lot of the figures seem to be doing
03:43 that lately interesting but for me again I would like to just to have her pit
03:47 pose I think which is a regular gloved hands the only unfortunate trade-off
03:50 though is by only having these the other options available she only has then that
03:55 the options of closed fist I would have really liked if they could have also
03:57 included like just regular gestured hands with the glove still intact
04:01 anyways just to quickly show you once again what that glove looks like I mean
04:05 it's for what it is it's a nicely sculpted piece and it brings a little
04:08 bit more charm again to displaying the figures of outside of just the boring
04:11 having them standing straight with doing absolutely nothing for right now at
04:15 least I'm gonna just remove this hand and just before I actually lose the
04:20 little cuff I know it's gonna happen if I'm not too careful I'm gonna go ahead
04:23 and remove also this other hand as well I'm just gonna put this back in place
04:25 and then pop the hand nothing also as well is with the cuff you don't really
04:31 want to have it too far up the forearm because obviously it's gonna be very
04:34 noticeable the fact that the glove isn't one piece so I want to make sure you
04:37 just kind of bring that up once you get the hand in place yeah the only
04:40 unfortunate thing about Rogue is that she's very limited on our and on
04:43 accessories just being a fact that she doesn't have any other hands and other
04:47 fist hands or again like you can go the route of these hands also as well also I
04:52 did talk a little bit about the fact I had to heat the hand actually that the
04:56 elbow more so with a hairdryer took a few little passes because it seemed like
04:59 it wasn't necessarily a buildup of paint but there seems something really
05:03 restricting the elbow from actually bending and I find even like with the
05:07 shoulder there's something again really kind of again it doesn't look like it's
05:10 paint but there's definitely seems like there's something fighting against me
05:13 when it comes to trying to move her arms head sculpt wise I'm really happy with
05:17 how this one did turn out she is though a little squished in the face but if you
05:21 can kind of overlook that it's definitely one of the prettier looking
05:23 rogues that we have gotten and I've seen some people obviously online swap this
05:28 head sculpt off with another rogue and just of course keep the regular body
05:32 intact like if you like the really like the 90s design for robe which I'm a big
05:35 fan of myself I guess it's for all intents and purposes fine if you wanted
05:39 to change out the head I mean I'm pretty happy with how this one did turn out
05:41 little on the squished side but overall I'm very very happy with how this one
05:45 turned out the hair is of course two different colors she has the notable
05:48 streaked hair on the top there in white and it looks to be like the hair isn't
05:52 necessarily painted it looks like they actually did take two layers of plastic
05:56 and overlaid them from one another so of course you got the lower lighter
05:59 coloring of the brown on the bottom and then they literally taken just another
06:03 piece of plastic and put it over top of it it doesn't look to be the case like
06:06 they've actually painted it she has her bill bandana very pretty looking face as
06:10 well like a little smirk that they've given her face as well again like it's
06:13 kind of strange to look at her and then also look at the earlier looked at
06:16 gambit where gambit was maybe proportionally a little too long in the
06:19 face Rogan some ways actually is proportionally too short in the face but
06:24 again they're nice looking figures though the other thing I would say not
06:27 necessarily a complaint with the figure but I would say like her jacket is
06:30 probably the wrong color the the outfit underneath I think is fine for both the
06:34 greens and the yellows that they've chose but I feel like the jacket is maybe
06:37 too green like image wise I would probably have gone with kind of more of
06:41 a greenish beige color almost or like a greenish brown color not as bright of a
06:45 green is what we're getting at like this is almost like more of like a forest
06:48 green and I think it's way too bright for the color scheme them I'm kind of
06:52 picturing for rogue I mean like even on her packaging she's actually got more of
06:55 a lighter brown color jacket than what we're actually getting here she has a
06:58 little x-men symbol there on the shoulders actually on both shoulders so
07:01 that's a nice little bit of an additional detail that didn't need to
07:04 even necessarily be there I always appreciate the fact that any company
07:07 whether it be Hasbro or not takes the time to print these little extra things
07:10 that are on the figures of arms legs any words any which way she also has again
07:15 like a loose belt the belt is a separate piece that goes over top of her body so
07:18 I just going to move her jacket out of the way it doesn't obviously go anywhere
07:22 it's not gonna be able to go anywhere but it is a separate piece that they
07:24 applied over top the existing body I'm sure they probably have used this mold
07:28 again I mean obviously any expert on Marvel Legends could be able to rhyme
07:31 off down below how many times this body's been used it's a good-looking
07:34 body I would certainly say I wanted to say you like black cat I feel like this
07:38 body's been used for a black cat but I'm probably even stating the obvious the
07:42 colors are both using green and yellow I mean the problems always will be that
07:47 when you're you're putting on one color over top the other like yellow is always
07:51 something that if you don't apply enough of it it always looks like it's bleeding
07:53 the color underneath or the opposite if you're trying to paint or spray paint
07:57 over top of a yellow sometimes you end up getting is sort of this kind of bird
08:01 edge see it's not like a very sharp line dividing the two it's sort of just kind
08:05 of transitions a bit onto the yellow so you get a little bit of that on the row
08:09 but not to the point where it really does stand out a lot the figure also
08:12 does have already mentioned not meant to really necessarily with rogue but
08:16 mentioned already in the other reviews the figures do also have pegs on the
08:19 other sides of the feet so you know while there's a lot of pose ability at
08:22 play for the figures you can only really from a figure standpoint you can only do
08:25 so much with having them just standing and balancing on their existing feet so
08:29 of course while not using a display stand in the other reviews and even at
08:32 beginning of rogues review I was just using myself like a DC multiverse
08:35 display stand it's a little less intrusive I mean you do still see the DC
08:39 logo but you can just attach those it's just the same diameter say it size of
08:44 peg you just plug it on the underside of rogues feet for the figures articulation
08:48 you go back to her head here first head rotates for all intents and purposes all
08:52 the way around for obviously though the longer the hair is you can only clear so
08:56 much of her I mean obviously when you're getting over the shoulder section - I
09:00 mean it's it's gonna break up a lot of it's gonna kind of look like the head is
09:03 separate from the rest of the neck speaking of also of the neck -
09:06 unfortunately the trade-off of having this figure with more of a skin tone
09:09 neck is that you notice even more that she also has a hinge joint so with the
09:13 ball joints fine but with the hinge joint you can see it looks like she's
09:17 got a big cut into her neck it's kind of unavoidable unless you just kind of had
09:20 the head a little bit lower down you don't see it as much but with that extra
09:24 joint the joint does serve at least the purpose that you can't have the head
09:27 hinging down that far you can also have it looking up as well and of course you
09:31 can rock it back and forth - as for her arms the arms rotate all the way around
09:34 again I don't know why there's resistance you can almost even hear can
09:38 you hear for yourself I don't want to say it's a ratcheted joint it's not
09:42 necessarily a ratchet a joint maybe there's I don't know some additional
09:46 adhesive or the buildup of extra plastic on the peg but I find like with my arms
09:50 at least on Rogue there's there's very visibly a resistance happening here I
09:55 feel like I'm not necessarily stripping the peg by doing this but you can even
09:59 hear it as well like there's there's definitely something extra plastic maybe
10:03 extra plastic on the peg itself she doesn't have any swivel here in her
10:07 bicep but what she has at least is a swivel in her form she also has a single
10:11 hinge only in her elbows you can bend the elbow there as well and you can
10:14 rotate the hands also all the way around there is technically as well a hinge on
10:17 the hand so you can bend the hands back the hands back and forth also as well
10:20 upper torso is gonna be on a ball joint where all the male figures we've looked
10:23 at earlier have all had crunches the female figure bodies all have more prone
10:28 to ball joints so you can rotate the body all the way around like this once
10:31 again we have pegless bodies so there's no visible pegs at all attachments say
10:35 for example like the knees to the top and lower end of the legs so I really
10:39 like the way that that looks nice and clean the figure has three cores the way
10:42 up the thigh a swivel cut so you can rotate that all the way around Rogue as
10:46 well has a double hinge on her knee and she does have still the same
10:49 articulation like that pretty much is the case with all these female figures
10:52 she has a hinge that goes back and forth this way although again like really
10:55 tight on the joint for the ankle and you can also rock it back forth this way as
10:58 well you know it's again it's a good-looking Rogue there's a few little
11:01 things there's a few little things I probably would have cleaned up on the
11:03 figure as a whole I think like one of one of the biggest ones being like the
11:06 coloring of the jacket I kind of wish the jacket wasn't as green as it was I
11:10 wish it was kind of a little more like a greenish brown but other than that I
11:13 really like the way that Rogue did turn out if I can only get her to balance she
11:17 isn't maybe as good as say the likes of Gambit you know what let's just get
11:20 ourselves a display stand she doesn't say the likes of say Gambit but I would
11:24 certainly say that she's my third favorite figure obviously I'm
11:28 overlooking Magneto by saying that I'm just gonna bring in the other earlier
11:31 looked at figures here again what she looks like with Gambit get him to stand
11:36 here again I don't know what it is about these ankles the ankles seem to be
11:42 fighting me this whole time of doing these reviews but here's again what she
11:46 looks like with Gambit and here's again what she looks like with Magneto or with
11:50 Wolverine don't really really even want to bring in Magneto because again like
11:53 Magneto was such a disappointing figure but again for the sake of the fact that
11:56 we have covered off now four of the six figures I guess for all intents and
11:59 purposes I probably should it's rightful I mean he deserves I should probably
12:03 bring in Magneto I mean I like these I don't like him like I think Rogue is my
12:08 third favorite I mean I'm kind of looking again down at both Storm and
12:13 Bishop that might likely change but I think overall like Rogue does look good
12:16 her heads a little on the more squished side but proportionally the rest of her
12:21 body looks okay a colorings probably could have been tweaked a little bit
12:24 from here to there but all in all I think I'm overall more happy with the
12:28 X-Men side of things than I necessarily with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants I
12:31 mean in a way like Magneto is sort of outnumbered anyways considering that we
12:35 have five X-Men characters in this wave and only one sad villain with you know
12:40 he looks terrible with Magneto off to the side here generally with Marvel
12:44 Legends bodies tend to be used again so I can't imagine that the mold that we're
12:47 getting here for Rogue is unique to Rogue it's probably been used again
12:50 already with earlier female figures now obviously here with Rogue we get the
12:55 benefit of having now the jacket over top the jacket again is the only thing I
12:58 would say is a little off on the figure I mean yes the face is a little more on
13:02 the squished side and that's okay I think the face is still pretty the jacket
13:06 is just one thing though and I feel it's just a small cosmetic change had it only
13:10 been the case that they could have made it more of a greenish brown and not as
13:13 maybe dark and forged green is what we're actually getting here now not
13:16 fully following the comics of the X-Men maybe in the comics she actually does
13:20 have a more of a dark green jacket like we get represented here but if we were
13:24 to go back say to the 90s which of course this line is supposed to be based
13:26 around the 97 X-Men then I feel like the jacket even on the packaging it looks
13:31 more of a brownish color and not as bright of a green is what we're actually
13:34 getting the nice included touches are by having the extra hands that she has but
13:38 again like those are the only hands that she has so like if you wanted to get
13:41 close fists you have close fist if you wanted to have a removing the glove hand
13:44 then you have those two hands available but that's the only other options that
13:48 you have available I'm sure with the other robes that I have reviewed I
13:50 probably reviewed two or three in the past I probably could easily find maybe
13:53 a hand that I could use as a swappable replacement for this but I kind of wish
13:57 that she could have also come in clue with a couple of gestured hands that
13:59 weren't necessarily a bear hand as for example the details on the figure of
14:04 all are very on the more lighter side she doesn't have as much going for her
14:07 necessarily as say Wolverine or maybe Gambit the colors on this one are kind
14:11 of more centric around more greens and yellows but again that's accurate to the
14:15 way that rogue would have looked in the 97 both comics and the cartoon all in
14:19 all though head to toe it's a pretty good-looking rogue I can definitely
14:22 understand why there's collectors out there that may have wanted to choose the
14:24 swap of the head I'm not as interested necessarily to change a head for rogue
14:28 as I'd be a lot more interested to change the head for Magneto that's a
14:31 really again disappointing Magneto but what do you guys think of rogue let me
14:34 know down below in the comments section have you at all been collecting the 97
14:38 x-men figures and if you have which is your favorite or even just again based
14:43 on these reviews now if you were to say take a tally of the six that we've
14:46 looked at so far we only have two still to go through and that's of course a
14:49 storm and Bishop those reviews will be coming your way what of the four figures
14:53 that we've looked at my favorite are still I would say in the order of Gambit
14:56 Wolverine and then rogue and of course by process of elimination that means
15:00 that Magneto is in the very distant last I wouldn't even say like he's in fourth
15:04 place either he would be in last place whatever figures we will be looking at
15:08 whether it be rogue and Bishop will it be storm and Bishop I think Magneto
15:12 still will be my least favorite figure from this wave either way though if you
15:16 guys enjoyed this video I want to hit with a like if you guys are loving the
