00:00Maggie Shaw just saw a new collectible in her likeness here's your look at the
00:04star as this the boys Queen Maeve one sixth scale collectible figure
00:30in the show the boys the individuals with superpowers are controlled by an
00:38evil corporation that pretends to want to protect the American citizens but
00:42just wants to make money the top super group is the seven a team composed the
00:46most powerful soups who only had one female before starlight joins Queen Maeve
00:49almost rivals Homelander in power but she's conflicted about how corrupt her
00:54team has become well she may not be a Diana but she certainly is a Wonder Woman
00:57before though we get a closer look at the Queen Maeve courtesy the folks over
01:00at star ace I'd like to thank the folks there that did provide this sample this
01:04figure is available right now on many online sites and it seems to be selling
01:08for around $354 we're gonna go ahead of course and take the tape measure and see
01:13how tall the figure stands and then of course we'll bring in also starlight
01:15that we've already had a look at Queen Maeve is gonna stand if I'm looking at
01:19this correctly at about 11 inches in height translating though to a figure
01:23that's about 27 and a half centimeters tall as for the other figure that we've
01:27already had a look at here's what Queen Maeve looks like along with starlight I
01:30will say though sizing isn't a hundred percent right Dominique McElligott who
01:35actually plays the role of Queen Maeve and the boys stands at five foot eight
01:38inches tall whereas Erin Moriarty who plays starlight to the left is five foot
01:43six and yet though if you look at the two together you would almost even think
01:46not only are they the same size but I would almost even say though that
01:50starlight seems almost like a little bit bigger in proportions than Queen Maeve
01:53we're looking at here Maeve has two types of display stands two different
01:56ways of displaying the character if we look first to the left the figure does
02:00come in clear with a black display stand that does have very clearly printed Queen
02:04Maeve along the top when we look though at starlight you'll remember that that
02:07character had a oval shape display stand I do kind of wish though that stands
02:11were consistent with one another so that if you're putting them on the shelf
02:13they all look like they're from the same line and from the same company still has
02:17a neck that attaches to the top of that very taken the liberty of adding it and
02:20it is also have again that little cradle piece that you can support the figure by
02:24just putting her on top of that without the side for the more elaborate look
02:30though the figure does also come include this type of display stand now if you
02:33look at this one and you look at this one they are identical in shape in fact
02:37there's holes on either side of Queen Maeve's this stand at least there's
02:40holes on either side of this if you look at this stand they've actually covered
02:44it over and plugs but if you look at the bottom of it it does look like if you
02:47had yourself like a screwdriver for example you'd be able to pop this
02:50through and you'd actually have yourself the same holes on either side here too
02:54these holes will also support some additional struts in fact actually when
02:58you're looking at this one they'll plug now in place because obviously the plugs
03:02are missing but what's different though is on the back instead of having that
03:05type of display neck which has instead though is this adjustable one now this
03:10is actually very similar and I think in fact it's actually the exact same one is
03:13star lights star lights though plugged onto the back of her body because you
03:16had a back clip you want to see it okay we'll see it just to bring her in you
03:20can see on the back of her body she remember she had a little bracket piece
03:23that that just fit over top of the neck and you can have the character in a
03:26flight pose with me though it's a little bit different though instead of actually
03:29plugging on to the back of her body it does but it doesn't instead of looking
03:33at the back and just assuming there's gonna be a bracket right here there
03:36clearly isn't what they actually suggest that you do on the back of the
03:39instructions or in the instructions is take this piece right here and then you
03:43feed it up the back of her skirts so like this piece you can see where the
03:48leather skirting is just underneath just underneath the belt area here
03:51you're gonna take this and you're gonna fit this basically upper back like that
03:55you know it's fine and good to do that my only real concern with that is the
04:00type of material that they're using for this the skirting I wonder though if
04:03that's gonna start to script scrape the material cuz keeping in mind like this
04:06is metal if you're gonna be feeding this I would hope not all the time if you're
04:10gonna constantly be putting it in like this you're probably gonna start to
04:13scrape it hasn't happened yet but I can imagine though over time that's gonna
04:16start to scrape that leather material one thing though at least though is with
04:21the display stand if I can get her to stand properly you just basically take
04:24yourself the neck and it screws in place just like that to go along with this
04:30though that she also does come included with these additional acrylic posts now
04:34starlight also had something very similar to where you've got two long
04:37ones and you've got two short ones instead of just plugging them simply in
04:41place I mean realistically you could I mean you basically would just take one
04:44you plug it in on this side you take the other one and plug it in on the
04:47other side you can do it that way or what they also have included as well is
04:52these adapter brackets these adapter pieces essentially what it is maybe you
04:57wouldn't be able to plug it in because again look I'm looking at this the size
05:00and shape of the peg even though the shape is the same the size of it is
05:03certainly a little bit smaller so yeah you wouldn't be able to really plug that
05:06in on its own but what you can though do is take these ones and you just plug it
05:10in on one preferably take a smaller one and plug it into the front and then you
05:16just take them those two pieces and you attach them together on the side now you
05:20just would rotate this obviously and then just be able to fan these out a bit
05:23and so you do it on one side and obviously you're just gonna do the exact
05:27same on the other side and then two you're gonna plug this in place like I
05:31spent a whole lot of time showing you guys this because obviously we want to
05:34get right down to looking at the figures plug these in and then basically we just
05:38plug it in on the other side now where what goes exactly into those you may be
05:41asking yourself she comes includes pretty cool wave effects these flames
05:46have been done starting kind of in more translucent yellow plastic and
05:49progressively making their way more into a fiery orange each one of them do have
05:54a hole so the holes right there and basically you're just gonna plug those
05:57then I won't do it with all of them just because again like we don't want to eat
06:00up the entire review showing you guys what these each of these individually
06:03look like but these basically will just plug on to the end of the post and then
06:08you basically would just rinse and repeat these now you got four of these
06:11and if you're looking at them they do vary a little bit like you've got so
06:16like if you're looking at these they look very similar in shape and then you
06:19got this one that has a little bit more of the flames also a little bit more
06:23orange as well so you just plug two in the front two in the back and you would
06:26be able to adjust it that way to go along with that though Queen Maeve also
06:30does come included with a fiery punch now these punch pieces are actually done
06:35in the same translucent yellow and orange plastic actually more so it's
06:38more in the orange and darker red coloring on the ends and these would
06:42then be swapped out with the hands that she has right now you can't just put
06:45these on her existing fists or hands you'd have to actually remove the hands
06:49first and if you look at the inside of it there's only just enough quarters to
06:52accommodate the posts on the ends of her forearms so those have to go on to the
06:56ends of those maybe before we actually do that though let's run through though
06:59the hands that she comes included with so on the ends of her hands right now
07:02she has a pair of relaxed hands you could those swap that out though with a
07:06gripping hand good for holding the sword actually this one here is good for
07:09holding the sword she has a regular gripping hand which I guess could also
07:13work the same way to hold her blade she does also come included with this hand
07:17that's good for holding the cell phone when she comes with glue to his cell
07:20phone she does she also has a slightly smaller grip which is also good for
07:23holding the same she also comes included with a pointing and I'm not really
07:28chuckling about the pointing hand I'm chuckling more for the fact that she
07:31also does come in clear with the middle finger hand if you want to display may
07:35flip in the bird maybe it's a homelander flying in the sky you can then use this
07:39hand so based on that one of the other as already mentioned included
07:44accessories is that she does also have her phone it's sculpted decently I mean
07:49there's not really much in the way of paint on the back of it but it does have
07:51the image there on the front now again going back to those hands we've already
07:55had a look at she has like this hand so you could just fit that in her hand as
07:59if she's scrolling through something or you can also then go back to this hand
08:03and you basically would just take the phone and wedge it in between her
08:06fingers and her thumb and it goes and it holds it's not gonna be going anywhere
08:10on you lastly she does also come in clear with her sword Maeve would seem so
08:17incomplete without her sword so I'm glad to see that they included that I will
08:21say though like they've done a nice enough job of doing like the hilt the
08:23guard is done well in gold with the wings there on either side we even got
08:28the stone there on the end of it it's like I said it's a really nice looking
08:30sword there's no real way to sheet this anywhere on the figures body so she only
08:34has really the option of holding it in her hand or again you would just have
08:37the figure displayed without it just take the hand suitable for holding the
08:40sword it sits it will say a little loose if you have it far enough up the hilt it
08:45seems to hold a little bit better but you can see it's it's a little on the
08:48loose side what else does she come in clear to it she comes in clear with her
08:52glass little martini glass it's no liquid inside I'm maybe sure she's
08:57probably already drank it but nice little martini glass and of course if
09:00you want to use that hand where's the hand that we use for the cell phone is
09:03it right over here no it's right over there yeah you can just take just take
09:08this hand the pointing hand I guess you can also take the martini glass and fit
09:12it in there and again she holds it really well rounding up the remaining
09:18things of the accessories I know we're gonna go back to the flaming fists in
09:21a second she does also come in clear with these burst effects those familiar
09:26with Wonder Women will know that obviously anything being shot at them
09:30usually will reflect off their bodies and she does have magnetic areas on her
09:34body but not in all the places you know what actually what I'll do is just move
09:37this out of the way focus some of our better attention on just the figure
09:40itself these pieces will actually magnetically attach onto her body now
09:45based at least on the images that I saw online they had some of these because
09:49there are smaller well the larger ones right here and then there's one a little
09:53bit smaller in size so you get two of the small yet two of the large but they
09:57all have magnets on the bottom of them now I've seen images where these would
10:01attach onto the top of her torso but I can't seem to get them anywhere that
10:05doesn't seem to be a magnet anywhere on the back of her bodice you can however
10:09though attach it onto the bottom of her abdomen area and these just snap in
10:13place so maybe perhaps the magnets actually only here and it's nowhere near
10:17the top of her body but again you basically just attach these anywhere
10:20that you want you want to make sure of course I'm just gonna go pick that up a
10:23little bit later anywhere basically like around this area here is the best where
10:27it's gonna attach the most going back though to a flame punch basically what
10:31you're just gonna do is you're gonna remove the hands because obviously they
10:34have to come off first just attach it from the ends of the peg you may want to
10:38just wiggle it just a little bit I've noticed though with these hands I don't
10:42know why that they seem more securely attached to the pegs you may have to
10:45work a little harder take the flame punch and basically you're just gonna
10:49fit the hand onto that well I should say fit the forum on top of that because now
10:53the figure doesn't have a hand anymore and you just do it here you would then
10:57do it over on the other side if you want to have Maeve displayed that way I think
11:01we've run through everything haven't we okay so let's move everything out of the
11:04way get the hand back in place here you may have already all know you've already
11:09I'm sure I have noticed that the figure does have a seamless body both Maeve and
11:14already looked at a starlight all have seamless bodies some may like seamless
11:18bodies I mean again like I don't dislike seamless bodies I think of anything like
11:22seemed bodies don't bother me all that much I know some people really prefer
11:26the realism of having characters that look look the part fit the part and
11:30obviously when you start to add things like visible elbow joints it loses I
11:34know some of the illusion let's also move this out of the way too I just want
11:38again focus more of the efforts looking at Queen Maeve head sculpt wise I think
11:43personally it's a little bit better than the starlight before bearing not
11:46only a good likeness of Queen Maeve but also the actress Dominique McElligott
11:50now I think she's Irish by descent I personally always felt that while
11:55watching at least her and the boys she would be a prime candidate for Wonder
11:59Woman I mean again it's probably already stating the obvious she plays sort of a
12:02Wonder Woman character with Queen Maeve it would be then more logical to have
12:05the same actors come back and play a role like Wonder Woman but I think like
12:09likeness wise it looks pretty good to her now she does have more of like this
12:12Auburn kind of hair very curly on the back the hair itself has actually done
12:16really well there's no bald spots that I can see I mean I guess if you move
12:19enough of it out of the way you probably could see something underneath but I
12:22think they've rooted the hair really well likeness wise again I think it's
12:26pretty good she's got her little TR there on the top her skin is pretty fair
12:31it's not no nearly as fair as the starlight that we looked at before of
12:35course she has a very Wonder Woman style of body here I'm just gonna come back
12:38and retrieve the hand she has the Wonder Woman style of bodice armor here on the
12:41front some skirting down below here now the skirting here is harder plastic
12:45whereas all the leather around this if I just fix this on the back all the
12:50leather around it the skirting here is more I would imagine a faux leather
12:53material it looks good I mean it I don't know if it's gonna start to crack over
12:58time it seems not to be cracking so far the only thing again that worries me is
13:02taking that adjustable neck post that we looked at earlier if that always has to
13:05go underneath this just scraping that seems like that could be potentially
13:09happening down the road again you got your seamless body so the skin itself is
13:12more of that rubbery material that they've used but again it gives a more
13:15realistic look to the character she's got her black boots down below here knee
13:19caps to the top these are plastic the bottom boots as well are plastic whereas
13:23like the material connecting the two is an actual material and that's basically
13:27just covering off one thing to getting her out of the packaging she did have a
13:30cling cling film wrap kind of wrapped around the top of her thigh here they
13:35may have also put that in there too so that the material coloring doesn't end
13:38up staining the skin I mean for the what little time I've had this out of
13:42the packaging obviously no staining has happened but I would imagine maybe like
13:46over time if you rolled these down maybe some of the black would then settle on
13:49to the actual material that they've used so far like I said so far so good now
13:53for the figures articulation it seems I know again a little seems a little out
13:56of place that she doesn't have her other hand here let's just plug that in place
13:59these gauntlets by the way can be removed if you really want to but I did
14:03notice though that this post was a little shorter than this side might be
14:07one of the reasons why this hand was popping off on me again you got yourself
14:10your hole on the inside of the hand basically we just fit that on top of the
14:14metal post make sure of course it's securely enough on there so the hand
14:17isn't gonna fall off and I know the hands already down there so I'm gonna
14:20have to retrieve that just before we jump over to the turntable for Queen
14:24Maeve's articulation though again going back to her head sculpt the heads gonna
14:27be on a ball joint it rotates not only back and forth it moves up and it also
14:31moves down now what you may not be able to see is what's working behind the
14:35scenes so there's a post essentially gonna be attaching obviously the head
14:38to the neck but what you can't see though is that there's another post down
14:41below here because you don't see it and still you until you start to move it her
14:45neck does move up and down and you can also move it back and forth as well that
14:50continuation of articulation goes also into her shoulders so Queen Maeve does
14:53have a T pose so you can pull it off at 90 degrees you might even be able to
14:57pull a little further than that I wouldn't pull it too far up though
14:59because that may start to stretch the material right here you can already maybe
15:03you'll see if I put that too high it starts to make things tight right around
15:07here so I would probably only really recommend going with a T pose and
15:10stopping it there the arms move forward no problems they move back also as well
15:15she does have like with starlight only seems to be a single hinge in the elbow
15:19the hands rotate all the way around but just again be careful when you are
15:22rotating the hands that they don't accidentally unpeg themselves from again
15:26that metal post it's keeping in mind again like it's gonna be a metal frame
15:29built inside of her body there goes her hand upper torso has a bit of a crunch
15:35so that does have some movement there the legs do split out you can see how
15:39basically works everything behind the scenes they move forward but because the
15:43skirting here in the front is harder plastic moving it forward like this may
15:47result in this scraping against the plastic I mean the rubber material seems
15:51pretty durable and I haven't had any issues with previous star race pieces
15:55that have had rubbery skin like this but again like when you move in for just
15:58keep that all in mind they can move back she does have a perhaps a double
16:03hinge in the knee I mean does seem like it bends a little further than just a
16:06single hinge and then she does have some ankle articulation now starlight had
16:10this all done encased plastic when it came to her boots you wouldn't be able
16:14to really move it all that much when it comes to Maeve though it seems like you'd
16:17be able to move it just a little bit more sort of maybe again like let's get
16:21another hand going here well we already have a hand that has the sword let's
16:25plug that onto the invert body now the thing I like really also about star
16:30lights is that she came included like I said the two different options I don't
16:34know though when it came came to Maeve if Maeve was actually being offered up
16:38as both a standard version of collectors edition and then the deluxe version from
16:42at least based on what they had provided me it seems like this is just a regular
16:45collectors edition may also be one of the reasons why Maeve ends up being a
16:49little bit more expensive you know what we get ourselves a displaced and let's
16:52put her down there I think really of the two I'm gonna bring back in star
16:56light even though she doesn't have her stand right now I personally and I may
17:00be a bit biased because I was a really big fan of Dominique McElligott I think
17:04like Queen Maeve maybe have a bear bears maybe a better resemblance and likeness
17:08to the actress I think also I really like the look of her armor too even
17:12though she really isn't Wonder Woman I mean really when you think of it like
17:15Homelander basically is basically a Superman and then Queen Maeve is the
17:19equivalent of that Wonder Woman she's nice-looking figure I think that the
17:22rooted hair looks really nice I do also like the accessories that she had even
17:26though I didn't really show you all that much what she looks like with her fiery
17:29punch we're obviously gonna be looking at that I say obviously we're gonna be
17:32looking at that when we wrap up the review of her that's always really the
17:35option available if you want to display her with that to be honest though I
17:38might just end up displaying her on the shelf with a sword because for me I
17:41think of Maeve I think of Maeve I think of the sword I might just end up
17:44displaying the figure with that instead as I did do with starlight I wanted to
17:48wrap up the review of Queen Maeve making use of that secondary display stand while
17:52it does get rid of though of the cradle which is the regular way of course of
17:55displaying the figure on your shelf this gives you at least the option of having
17:59her in flight making use of also those flame effects that can clip on to the
18:03ends of those posts and those simply just attach on to the side holes
18:06provided on the base the flame effects as well as the flame punch that she has
18:11does give a little bit more appeal to the character when you're displaying her
18:14on the shelf certainly I appeal my only one again worry that I have with this is
18:18that it's using that metal post I wasn't as worried when it came to starlight
18:22because that clipped onto a bracket on the back of her torso but with Maeve
18:26though you have to fit it underneath that bodice piece and so really there's
18:30nothing that's holding that in place in the sense that it's not gonna maybe
18:33cause conflict with the material all around it that figure though outside of
18:38that issue I have with maybe the way I'm displaying her she does look I think the
18:41better part of Queen Maeve in them in the show I think it looks a lot more
18:45like Dominique McElligot which for me at least I had a bit of a crush on her in
18:48them in the show so like for me I might be a little bit more by saying that I
18:52feel between the two figures Queen Maeve might be the better-looking sculpt again
18:56she has quite a lot of accessory going for her her sword she's got some bullet
19:00effect pieces that can attach onto her torso via magnets her cell phone her
19:04martini glass there's a fair bit to go around when it comes to displaying the
19:07figure in the end though as as elaborate as this may look I think I'm more just
19:11happy to have her displayed on the shelf with her simple sword a big thank
19:15you again to the folks over at star ace that did provide the sample of the boys
19:18Queen Maeve deluxe figure that we could have a look at in this review I did say
19:21earlier there was a collector's edition and deluxe a version of starlight
19:24advertised at least from what I've seen online the deluxe version is what we
19:28looked at in this review it was selling though for $354 so if you guys are
19:33interested she should be available right now but some of the sites either have
19:36her almost sold out or some of the sites just have sold her out altogether what
19:40you guys think this figure let me know down below in the comment section
19:42between this one and starlight which do you think is the better-looking likeness
19:45if you guys did it also enjoy this video you can do it a solid of course and
19:49throw it a like guys wanna stick around for more so I hope so we're gonna be
19:52kind of wrapping up things right now for star race and the boys but there
19:55certainly are gonna be more videos coming away for the rest of this week as
19:58always thanks for watching see you guys next time
