PS: lol at Dan Who's review, puts the leg at 45 degree angle and says "the leg goes up pretty far" and moves on. Like what? That's far?

It's so similar to the BAF that I have to wonder if they started with the same digital model as that and just replaced some parts and scaled the size of everything up by about 40% to 50%. The sculpt and design of the legs in particular looks identical, and the open hand gestures are identical to the 2-pack with Colossus.

Would be hilarious to have a thread on here making fun of the hypocrisy of shill reviews, complete with timestamps.

The other thing that bugs me about this figure are how comically tiny his wrist pegs are. Regular-sized Masterverse figures have thicker wrist pegs. Watching Bee's review, those hands pop out so easily.
 
I try to put my energy to more positive use these days, but I used to have a ritual of watching reviews when I had a figure in hand. I'd open it and watch and my thought was maybe these guys would catch details or features I wouldn't.

It's the opposite. They struggle to find how storage works, what hands could possibly be for. And the worst is when they make the articulation checks and declare it has great range, limited range, or doesn't have double or butterfly, etc.

And I'm just going along with my figure, "Well, mine can hit that pose", "No, that's terrible range".

SO still says, "I never imagined someone could be bad at action figures."

Dragon Man has the exact same tiny pegs. His elbows are so tight that I pop the hands off almost every time I try to bend them.

Which is a nitpick really. I'd rather the elbows be too tight than too loose so popping those hands off is an extremely minor complaint.
 
I think the clip thing on Jugg’s power effect is what’s getting in the way of head-mounting it. It’s a weird choice to tailor it to his fist, since that’s not what he does in game. I could also do with it about 25% bigger.

When I get him, I’m going to dremel the clip down or mod it so it works for his head.

I was looking at old playthrough vids of Marvel Superheroes last night and it’s going to suck not being able to do his ground punch move, or even charge properly. But I still love the aesthetic, and he’ll move better than the MS one, who was my favourite before now.

That's exactly my feeling--he's like the old one with slightly better shoulder articulation and toe hinges scaled up to the Select size. I've always loved the ridiculous size of Juggs from the Capcom games, and this figure and the Select capture that.

The Select version was favorite figure ever for a few years because I love the character so much so I'm sure I'll have to cave and get this. But wow, those legs are SO disappointing. I'd even take the feet hinging just a little further forward as an upgrade for better crouching or charging poses, but nope! The toe hinges are at least some consolation to help almost hit this pose, although his elbow and knee range aren't really even good enough to do this one justice. 😥

Finally a figure that really needed some thick, sturdy drop-down hips and we didn't get them. Unless they're willing to go soft plastic overlay for the diaper or use drop-down hips (probably both tbh), I don't think we'll ever see that kind of posing with Juggernaut from Hasbro. Even a ball joint for the lower torso so we could tilt his hips would go a long way to hitting that deep MvC idle pose.

I'll be displaying Capcom Juggernaut on my bedside table should there ever be a break in and I be unable to find my baseball bat in the dark.

Nothing says home defense like an older man in his underwear swinging a chunky plastic doll around his head in the dark screaming "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!"
