- This build a figure might be one of the best looking to date but will the limited articulation hold it back?

I do like the strong man look for Bane. He has a very imposing silhouette.
With no leg articulation, this could have just been a statue.
Since this is a build a character, I don't know why the tubes were not added.
I'm surprised something like this got approved.
I think they were going for comic accuracy? Haven't seen this version of Bane in a while but his back should have scarecrow.
Yeah, he didn't have tubes in the comic.
Dude I'm crying with laughter. Holy cow! You had to review Bane in separate pieces. What a catastrophe! And when you bashed him over his head. LMAO!
Having 0 hip articulation kills it for me. I get he's a big dude, and he's not doing any splits, but he's literally just going to stand there (menacingly!) now.
Actually he has hip movement you just need heat it lol
I had some hopes for these new McFarlane Toys action figures and I bought quite a few, I completed this set, the two Darknights Metal sets (I'm missing two Robins but getting one of each while having to import them is very hard because they will be shipped randomly), the armored Batman and Superman from the first wave and with much regret the Batman and Superman cartoon versions. I even backed the Spawn kickstarter but I haven't bought a single McFarlane Toys since, not even the Spawns and I love the character. McFarlane Toys keep repeating the same mistakes and a mistake you keep repeating stops being a mistake and becomes a stubbornness. On top of that I have almost no relation with the versions of the characters they have been releasing lately, I know the characters but I don't know those versions, I would much prefer the classic versions.
Regarding this particular BAF I fully agree with your opinion Anthony and just to let you know, both the hands and legs will keep popping out even if you use a hairdryer or hot water.
He’s supposed to be a agile person, not just a power house. He needs articulation
I thought that the shirt was cloth, the sculp on this figure is amazing, too bad articulation sucks
This figure is like the old Marvel Select figures. Great sculpt and little to no articulation. Reminds me of Marvel Select Juggernaut.
"I was Born in The Dark"
"Oh no! It's BANE!" Walks up a few steps. "Ah. Mush better." Bane teeters over to the bottom of the steps and stops. A look of realization and self loathing crossing his face as Bane comes to understand that he has been defeated by an in animate object that most three-year-olds have mastered.
I'm glad to see that you have the good and the bad. Sometimes toy reviewers just praise the good points and gloss over the short falls. Better critique will hopefully give better products in the future if anybody is listening. You are exactly right about the hips. If they were going to do no hip articulation they should have saved their money on tooling and simply cast the figure from the waist down as a solid piece. Really takes the action out of action figure if it doesn't have good articulation.
So he's really an action figure without any action.
Mostly
I’ve had this guy for a while and yes even with a hairdryer the legs and hands still pop off easily
His hands are like Android 13 from DBZ! It's like they were meant to come off to do a rocket punch or fire something out of his arm! lol
You could get the legs to move by cutting the rubber peices of the pants and for some reason his hip joints are sculpted to look like the pants. So I think that McFarlane was originally gonna do the underwear peice but for some reason they changed their mind and decided to just cover it. Also the legs stay on better.
“I WILL BREAK YOU!!!”
Bane
What a potato. It’s a statue with seam lines.
I think fists were a common problem with this guy.
Dope of you to explain head articulation
Been a while since I’ve watched action figure reviews. I wasn’t really sold on this Bane fig-if I wanted to buy a statue…I’d buy a statue. Looks kinda cool, though.
If I wanted statues, I would collect statues.
I know what were they thinking did they think “you know what lets shake things up with the connection?
I do really like the look of this figure. I was excited to put him together once I had all the figures and pieces to build him. But….once I started trying to put him together, that’s when it all started to fall apart (literally). Even after I managed to get him put together, every time I tried to move or pose him, his hands or legs would fall off. So, just as you reviewed, he makes a pretty cool looking statue. Great review as always!
Good review. I've Just got him, not put him together yet though as I'm doing a custom paint job on him first.
Looks like a base copy of The Marvel Select Juggernaut.
this Bane design... yikes!
These body proportions would be more appropriate for a Solomon Grundy figure.
If I can't pose it, I don't want it.
Hands and hips not connecting have been a consistent problem with this figure across the board. It's very unfortunate because the sculpt is very appealing. Also I'm pretty sure the zombie skin is inaccurate to the source material.
Great review as always!
I would be fine for sacrificed on articulation if it can do the basics(looking at saint myth cloth ex figure) but this extent is just statue posing as an action figure. could have bought a statue that has little to seam whatsoever and it would have look better..
When you started hitting the figure I lost my shit lol 🤣
I used a hair dryer and all the pieces of my Bane actually have stayed in place even if I move them.
Great review. Kinda tough. I'd go with aesthetics but yeah, not this much. Figure does look pretty good though, I agree.
Those hands are definitely like that for mine as well. I haven’t tried the hair dryer treatment on them, but it just seems like they’re gonna pop out.
Absolutely agree about the hips, it kills it for me. The guy still looks awesome but I wanted to get him in a dynamic pose or at least a break the bat pose.
Hopefully McFarlane releases a regular Bane somewhere down the road with better articulation.
Yeah this Bane is not for me 👁👁💢 I personally don't like the mask design either. I'm very picky about articulation, sculpt, ect. There's so much wrong with this figure, it frustrates me just watching. 👁👁 & I do agree, we do need a classic looking Bane, sometime in the near future. 👀
@@DemBaddBonez Yep! I had partial regret about buying the set to build this guy to be honest.
None of it really appealed to me, I just saw Bane and didn’t want to pay whatever people were gonna charge him completed 😐 especially since our options for a decent Bane figure seem to other be expensive or a bit dated.
I’m picky about some of that stuff as well, McFarlane toys in general have irked me lately. From the weird soft chest (Bloodsport and Doctor Fate) to the odd articulation in the legs just in general, and some just fall apart on me. Have a Elsewords Batman that his arm pops off at the swivel. A Cyborg from the Justice League movie that looks like his arm wasn’t properly installed. I’ve backed off from them but a classic Bane and I’ll throw money at whoever puts that figure out 😆
Funny enough, there’s a guy that made three different head sculpts for this Bane. One that resembles the knightfall mask, another one with bigger eyes, and one with some really small eyes. He also made a venom tank. Idk man, we just need more options, and more villains in this line.
Spot on review. Great sculpt, poor articulation, and limbs popping off has been a running problem with this figure. That said, it is a cool sculpt. I have this, it does look great on the shelf.
I've seen the complaints for the legs and hands popping out for awhile now, I didn't use a hair dryer or warm water, just literal sheer force and strength and at this point I can't get the legs or hands to pop off at all.
enjoy these late reviews,...I used a ceramic heater then slapped the joints together real strong and fast & it holds...posing them, I also help by giving pressure into the joints while moving them, I can move the hips by 30 degrees for a walking pose, its what it is,..still like it
You have to heat every piece in this set or nothing snaps in.
I love watching you move the toe hinge for some reason
Yeah It was hard to put them in. I decided to put them in hot water and force them in. Gotta lube up before going in.
Bane eating Batman’s knuckle sandwich 3:32
Ok so yea out of box the thing is ass. But I made 2 simple mods to give mine a lot more articulation. If you get a exacto knife. Cut out a chunk of his shorts at the very bottom of the crotch between his thighs. This will free up his legs so that you can actually get his legs pegged in. And doing so will you move his legs all over the place. 2nd mod is if you take off his shirt, and cut away the extra mounding above his belt the, you will be able to use his torso joint pretty well. As for the hands I just used hot water and once they went in right then they never fell out again. I dont take credit for this mod. It was another youtuber on here that figured this out. Unfortunately I forgot his name.
needs better articulation. it looks absolutely awesome...but like you said..its an action figure....there are bad ass statues out there already.
I probably didn’t hear you specify the this but, is this the BAF or did McFarlane finally sell the actual complete figure on its own?
Baf
It looks effing amazing. I got this figure and he serves his purpose as a stand for scarecrow lol.
Man, this is comparable with unleashed hulk. It's more bigger than hulk himself.
I love this design.
Would be cool if he came with open hands
I got Batman, and omega. Ordered the rest just to get this figure.
I like how he looks but he's a statue...there is another Bane figure that is like $50 that is far superior
It turns out the thigh swivels are on the wrong side
The hands are still a problem though
I had the same problem with his hands and legs not staying put.
have you used a ceramic heater? heat em for a minute then attach them real quickly, it holds well, just dont force the joints excessively beyond regular ranges.,yeah its funny, for a strong guy figure, you got to be delicate with it...
As a statue, it get 2/10 for fall apart this easily. If not trying anyway, just make everything solid at least. Do they just aiming to make products good for promote pic and nothing more? How long do they think they can last?
could've designed a better way to attach the legs, he does look good.
Soak the ends of the arms in hot water then put the hands in after cooling the hands I'll rightewn
Storm collectibles look better than this
That's reasonable, for how much you have to pay for that version
@@vgamer11 for McFarlane ,u still have to buy the entire crap wave to build this larger crap
@@Darkseid.of.Apokolips that's true but again, the Storm Collectibles version is a bit more expensive, especially if you didn't happen to pre-order him and have to buy from a scalper as a result
By banging it's head you may have fixed the neck issue. I saw it trying to avoud your hand. Ha, ha. The figure looks good but it really doesn't hold or move well. Bummer! Thanks for sharing your treasure.
Sorry avoid
Bane thicc.
Such a shame with the terrible articulation. The figure looks so good too.
Looks more like Grundy Bane than just Bane. Is Bane supposed to have Tombstone grey skin?
This version is supposed to... I think
Why is he grey?
Cooler?
It's fuckin useless, your review is spot on, only really good as custom fodder
I can't see your review for scarecrow
Idk why
Should have made this just a statue instead mcfarlane
This looks sick ass fuck
This man needs a tan
A person who did a custom build cut the shirt at the bottom to give him more swivel in their video
I think the head is too small, I was expecting this review to be way harder based on what I've seen from other reviews
Hey, Anthony
When will be rival collectibles ready?
Don't know. Whenever the time is right. Better to wait than to rush.
This is like an equivalent to that early hasbro movie sandman baf. Sucks
Bain is cool looking but I personally passed on this wave because of all the problems other collectors were having with him. Everyone who collects McFarlane figures already knows the articulation sucks on pretty much all of them. They don’t stand on their own most of the time. And half the ones I own have some kinda problem. That being said he is one hell of an artist and I love the look of his figures enough to over look the things I don’t like most of the time. It’s a love/hate relationship lol.
King shark is just as bad in other ways
the skin is creepy
Storyline was snyder crap.
This figure is disappointing 😕
Another mcfarlane poor joints design plastic garbage.
worst baf ever
Mac farlanes toys are weird and dumb? Why make a figure that huge without hips articulation knee's how ever ok? But hips really, dumb?
The bulk is amazing hips??? Loser??? Why mac farlanes
