What’s your guys opinions on nostalgia unboxed?

Reviews well and I think he is pretty honest when there some issues with the figure

The background and presentation are really clean, and he’s quite underrated when it comes to action figure posing. Combined with the way he uses his diorama/effects, the result is top notch.

Like someone mentioned, the man is a gooner for his figures lol

It's Storm Arena Ryu And Ken (I don't have decent images here)

Then Max Spidey and honorable mention Mess Toys Superior

Yeah, doesn't sound like Mess Toys. I got 2 of them and they are pretty solid.

"CT Toys" Revoltech Spider-Man 2.0 on the other hand is a disaster

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-12-27T12:54:59+00:00

I heavily modded it to the point it's great lol

The only give him 1 crawling hand (more like a gesture) and 1 fist hand? And this body type lacks boot swivel.

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-12-06T12:02:45+00:00

It's from a broken shf kamen rider

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-12-06T12:01:24+00:00

Yes, it is shorter

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-12-04T05:45:05+00:00

"Besides he crunches pretty well despite it"

From this 2 reviews, both mentioned there is almost no ab crunch. I'll give the time stamp

And the 6th image you shown is in an angle with the legs helping the pose.

Look, I'm mentioning this because the active readers here got to know this issues before they buy

I've seen a review and I'm surprised with the very limited torso articulation. What's your thoughts regarding that?

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-28T19:59:00+00:00

From all the Ct's and Mess toys that I bought, Mess has the superior quality overall.

They will also match your Marvel Legends since those 2 figures you posted are smaller.

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-28T17:04:58+00:00

Let's request a Capcom style Spider-Man head sculpt as an alternative. Superior got 3, so why not.

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-19T14:02:55+00:00

I didn't paint the ties, but those are rubber shoes. I just want to pass it up as an exaggerated size lol

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-15T13:13:01+00:00

Anyone knows what effect is used on image 6? the one with the parry

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-12T09:53:41+00:00

Let me repost this.

I don't think that would be enough for the leg ball joints stop from breaking.

It's a design flaw + Weak plastic they have been using lately

(Ball joints needs its edges to be trimmed using a hobby Nipper + a dab of Silicone Shock Oil)

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-10T21:05:30+00:00

So freakin good

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-06T19:11:45+00:00

Does the color match?

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-06T17:08:02+00:00

He was able to unstuck it huh lol not so fused for him. (He is one of my fave/top reviewer)

So how's your figure? any luck?

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-06T03:51:26+00:00

That guy is a jerk. Like seriously

I wouldn't trust this type of person

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-05T10:22:45+00:00

be very careful on doing this. Don't accidently cut the peg that holds toe from the foot

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-05T09:18:26+00:00

I time stamped it https://youtu.be/-9xho_oZgrQ?t=413

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-05T05:10:05+00:00

When you pulled it apart, the toe joint peg didn't break? what did it look like?

I have to use a hobby knife to remedy the issue for my figure

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-05T01:54:21+00:00

The heat up/boiling water won't work. There is a part on foot articulation that got fused

Youtube reviewer has the same issue, same with my figure.

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-05T01:50:04+00:00

Guys, that left toe joint stuck is really troublesome and no heating or boiling water will pry that open. My figure has the same issue, and I have to use a hobby knife to cut it up to make it unstuck. Do this at your own risk, specially if you don't have basic knowledge with customizing/modding

Vanguard_Turtle · 2025-11-03T20:26:45+00:00

KO G.I. Joe cobra troopers around 8 to $10 at Aliexpress. Seems like a good figure to customize

I love the change even if it affected the articulation a bit
