I honestly don't know much about different company history's, but in this current marketplace Mcfarlane is doing something nobody else is doing...listening to the customers. Statue articulation sucked, now its 22+ moving parts(Color Tops vs Multiverse) We wanted alt hands, now we getting alt hands(Blue Beetle movie) We wanted alt heads, now we getting alt heads(Digital Wave) Sold out products, Okay here's a slightly different paint but you can at least get it (Batmobile) MEZCO cant figure out inventory (How the F can you sell out a product pre-production?????) HASBRO is deaf
You are seeing the good that nobody talks about.... Only thing people care about is hate.... No company is with out their faults... No customers will ever be fully satisfied... I'm just trying to collect...😆👍💀
Absolutely agree with your side of the arguments. Dc essentials is too mechanical. Mcfartlane has it overall over the past renditions because the figures give a better sense of realism. Not just goofy toybiz toys. 😂❤
My Cheetahs 🐆 tail broke. Ferocious yet fragile. I think the Cheetah from the Essentials line was the best female figure. Articulation on her is good especially her head and hair articulation. However I’ll take McFarlanes treatment. I have the WW and enjoy them both. But I’m bias. Spank!
The icons is the best one, only problem is he's a little fella, if only mcfarlane was available. Nice comparison. I do have the mcfarlane bane crushing batman icons pose😊.
The bad thing about the mcfarlane line is there are figures taller than Knightfall Batman like Firestorm Hawkman is tall too but I expect him to be taller than Batman Knightfall Nightwing his head is bigger than Batman Batman taller than Superman Knightfall Catwoman has a bulge on her bigger than Batman So his line is far from perfect he still has lots of work to do
You can easily get a little more height out of this mcfarlane bats. I heated mine up and pulled apart the torso and put a little plastic disc in the top ball joint then put it back together. It added about 1/16 of an inch maybe a hair more of height to bats. Now he's in proportion with Wonder Woman. Works for just about any mcfarlane figure.
@@theotherguy21 I'm sure there's plastic washers that would work but I cut a teflon/plastic bolt about 1/16 of an inch into a disc. Even after heating the torso it was tough to pull it apart so just a heads up. The point of the disc is so the ball peg doesn't countersink into the ball joint.
That is an amazing Batman I hope I can find one. Someday 😢... Changing topic I just watched. Crisis on infinite earth. And went back looking for Your review. And couldn't find it, did you deleted that video ?
I'm such a throwback that I HAD to paint batman's mask black on the faceplate. I still recall when Catwoman captured them and unmasked him, Batgirl, and Robin, and they all had their faces painted black where the masks usually covered them.
The arms on those figures are ridiculously long. I gave most of the ones i owned away. All i have left is zombie Batman and Hal. Ive never even bothered to open them.
The next apes movie should be planet of the dc essential knightfall batmans, ..ugly ass long arms, but I will say the Grey and blue is slightly better than mcfarlane knightfall batman, what you think bones
Great comparison video, Bones! Just FYI, the extra detail lines on the gloves of the DC Essentials Knightfall Batman are there because they were originally used for the Rebirth Batman. I have most of the DC Essentials figures, and I do like them, but it was a very “cookie cutter” line, and really can’t begin to compete with McFarlane…especially when Todd is at or near the top of his game as he was with the Knightfall Batman.
Hey i know this dont have anything to do with video but did u go thru alot of trial n error when u first started customizing? Or did u pick it up fast? I want start customizing a few of mine (like knight batman's armor irks me) but im leary to start.
It's definitely process... I still make mistakes now... No matter how long I've been doing this... But look up vids if your not sure of something and do some try out figures on figures you don't care about...👍💀

Been using your Beavis line lately..great video great content as always 🎉
😆😆🤣
👍💀
Like the intro music and imagery my bro! Keep on pushing!
💪💀
Best channel for everything mcfarlane toys. Love your videos man ✌🏽
💪💀
IT WAS A MASSACRE!!!
😆💪💀
I love these types of comparison videos! Looking forward to watching it.
👍💀

Definitely agree...👍💀
I know i paid 30 for an auqaman years ago before i started really collecting again and couldn't believe the price
Ya... They was expensive as hell...👍💀😆

Lol... That Cheetah figures has no clothes!!!
😆🙃💀
I might have not been alive then and i know it was the price but 1987 is a great year
🤔👍💀
I figured you’d know who Tom Platz is! 💪🏼
Great comparison review too. 🤙🏽
My uncle called Mr. Tom "Leggz" lol
💪💀
I remember that knight fall Batman by DC Essentials . It was pretty good. But I sold him off long ago. 😅
😆👍💀
The icons is the best one, only problem is he's a little fella, if only mcfarlane was available. Nice comparison. I do have the mcfarlane bane crushing batman icons pose😊.
😆😆🤣
Little fella....👍💀
Dc essential clay face baf still gotta be the best clayface of all time been wanting to switch that one with mine
The Arkham one?? If so ya that's a huge figure...👍💀
The bad thing about the mcfarlane line is there are figures taller than Knightfall Batman like Firestorm
Hawkman is tall too but I expect him to be taller than Batman
Knightfall Nightwing his head is bigger than Batman
Batman taller than Superman
Knightfall Catwoman has a bulge on her bigger than Batman
So his line is far from perfect he still has lots of work to do
Ya ... That's why I use Hush Batman with some figures and Knightfall with others .. but I don't think any figure line will ever be perfect...👍💀
I love the DC Direct/collectible/icon line I still have all the collections but for Mcfarlane I only collected Superman and Superman Villains
Definitely some beautiful figures in those lines..no doubt...👍💀
I like the separate part for adding wired capes.
Yes! Was just going to comment this. Massive 1 up for customizers.
You are absolutely correct... Never noticed that...👍💀

Where could I get a plastic disk might have to try this

I've actually heard of this... Definitely gonna investigate this... 👍💀

Not sure ..maybe WB copyright strike it...🤷♂️👍💀
I don’t like there diaphragm cut of essentials but I like thigh and boot cut. I don’t mind it breaking the sculpt.
I don't mind the cut if they hide it... But the cut just through the leg is ugly... 👍💀

I wanted to get the zombie green lantern but it was like 30$ at my local store and it wasn’t worth 30$ to me lol
@@fredthetank8386 I paid £19.99 for him but I don't even want him now😁
Well send him over then 😂. Jk lol. Unless…
@@fredthetank8386 I'd be happy to trade but I'm in Ireland and you're in the states so not sure how practical that would be.
Ya ... That's one reason I never even started collecting that line .. Also the price was crazy for that time ..👍💀
The next apes movie should be planet of the dc essential knightfall batmans, ..ugly ass long arms, but I will say the Grey and blue is slightly better than mcfarlane knightfall batman, what you think bones
Totally agree...💪💀
In my opinion: Size and proportions - Multiverse; Details - Tie; Color Scheme - Essencials; Articulations - Multiverse; Accessories - clearly Multiverse. Multiverse wins 4:2
👍💀

Thanks for the info!... Ya .. they are actually a good looking collection... but Articulation is from the dark ages...😆👍💀
You should compare McFarlane and Mafex.
$100 vs $20.... It's definitely close...👍💀
Hey man i have that Nightwing if you need an open one
Thanks brother...👍💀
Hey Bones! Wondering how tall are you?
Not only are Eddie Guerrero and me from the same city... We are the same height... 👍💀
@@bonesandthenecrozoo awesome!!

@@bonesandthenecrozoo ok cool thx for yr input.
😄 Promo-SM
Hell yeah!!!! 💪💀
Ya that’s fine and all but at time of their release that’s all we had there was no Mcfarlane dc around so I was happy at that time 🫡🫡🫡🫡
Definitely.... If that's your line I definitely can say they look awesome as a complete collection...👍💀
