“Different strokes” after gently caressing Batman’s crotch
LOL
I was today’s years old when I discovered Grim Batman was a thing...It basically looks like Batman meets Punisher and that is awesome.
i’m still happy this channel is still alive been watching sense i was 12 i’m 18 now so it cool to still see these videos pop up
The head looks very bird like XD
It's Todd's head with a mask thrown on it
Yeah that comic-cover art on the back is just an artistic take, but the plastic is what is actually running around in the comic, not actually but you know
Yea but it doesn't make sense why they would put artwork on the box that looks nothing like the figure lol just use a different picture from the comics so they match. This seems to be a recurring thing with this line
@@emuman09 I understand that but hes problay just useing comic cover art not the art from inside the comic but I understand what u mean
I don’t know why but there’s just something satisfying about Batman with a bunch of guns at his side 😎
Because it's WRONG lol
Makes him look BADMAN!
It's the ultimate alternate of his character.
The version on the box with the cape and everything would’ve been a badass figure!
At certain angles, it looks like Todd in a Batman costume. Wish fulfilment, perhaps?
I mean Todd is into huge guns, holsters and edgy shit so you're probably not too far off
@@luisayala5914 Let's just call it Toddman then
I take it at some point Mcfarlane is gonna give up this farcical use of the moniker "DC Multiverse" and just rebrand it as "Batman Elseworlds" or some such, right?
The box art is way cooler I agree. Also this figure’s head sculpt is terrible lol
I'm currently using the legs and hips of this figure with the torso and arms of the Marvel Legends Movie Venom to make a custom Bane figure. It's working out really well.
Also, when you take off all of his excessive belts and bandoliers, his body actually looks a lot like Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell, so I might use another one of these for that, too.
Edit: Here's how Bane came out

I feel like you're really harsh in your reviews but I kinda like it because I know you're giving an honest opinion 👍
IDK if anyone said this before but, Anthony is the Gordon Ramsay of toy reviews.
That plastic is RAW!
People say it all the time.
The “let’s make it pick full of details but give him a sunken skull”
It's kind of hard to tell whether it's generally good or generally bad. Especially for a gun-toting tactical action figure, the grim Knight is just a frustrating action figure. Just do guns and a whole backpack of melted together guns, poor. Only thing I would do now if I got this action figure is stripped that weapons pack for any usable parts to make it custom weapon accessory.
I have the figure and design and concept wise it's one of my favourites. If there's one thing I would change (other than obviously adding the torn cape like in the box art) it would be to have a really well sculpted sniper rifle or assault rifle to have on his back rather than the gun amalgamation back piece. I can see what they were trying to do, but it doesn't quite work looking at it.
"He's got a very smooth crotch."
-AnthonyCustoms 2021.
Was thinking of adding my own fabric cape to this figure... Give it some more feel
His head looks like what I imagine Adam Sandler to look like if he had a batman cowl.
Talking like the WATER BOY too 😂
I've gotten only a few McFarlane DC figures, pretty much Hellbat, Unchained Supe, Arkham Asylum Batman and Joker, and Thomas Wayne Batman. Sculpts are great, but the big shortcoming for me is always the engineering of the articulation. It definitely shows that the inclusion of articulation is done begrudgingly, historically Todd prefers the statuesque stuff, but that doesn't sell at mass retail, so just make some cuts and stuff some joints in there with not a lotta finesse to it, and call it a day.
todds hair that was funny lol
I’ve passed on this figure several times. I just don’t get the “gun totting Batman” thing. It’s way out of character for Batman. He has stated on multiple occasions that "guns are for cowards" and he’s certainly no coward. Bruce Wayne’s entire motivation to become a crime-fighter came from a traumatic childhood episode of horrific gun violence. Thus his natural (and logical) aversion to guns! I really don’t see why so many people want to turn Batman into a gun wielding murderer. If you’re into that kind of thing, go read the Punisher. Leave Batman as the real hero he is.
That's why it's a multiverse thing ;)
4:20 the 2021 roast of Batman brought to you by Sir Anthony'sCustoms
4:48 bruh
So I have a question, I'm looking for someone to create a custom figure for me, most places I've looked so far are dead ends. Could I get you to create my figure for me or you tell me where to start?
There's usually a designated artist sculptor for the heads. wonder who did this one.
😯
It is so impractical to carry a ton of guns instead a ton of bullets
True
Realy why reload if you already a have a loaded gun
That ankle joint on snapped at the peg out of the box for me. I cut down a revoltech joint for a replacement, but man those ankles are rough AND flimsy.
No paint on accessories is stupid.
I guess it's like with Hellbat Armor where they made Rebirth version but put New52 version on the card because Rebirth one wasn't on covers. Although this one looks like an alternate cover because Grim Knight had one one-shot.
Guess it's that, they put whatever picture shows full character?
Did Zach Snyder design this figure?
Is that a right foot on the left leg?
could you make a custom one without molded weapons
??
Only reason I don't get this figure is because the 2 useable guns look lame. A grenade launcher and an smg? Feels like a very weird akimbo option. Sawn off and an ak or a sniper rifle of some kind would've been better imo.
Awesome video, just for future reference those mags on his shoulder are from a AK platform rifle (makes it even more weird). Super cool review, thank you for posting it!
There's no way to tell they're ak mags when they aren't shaped properly to begin with though. The curve is the only indication.
Looks fantastic on the shelf for $15-20 Agree about molded details needing a little dry brush or something. That’s my issue with current day Hasbro Transformers.
Nice review......there are many good things about the figure and some major flaws as well. I totally agree with the reference picture in the cardboard. It would have been a great fig if they followed it. Anyways nice and informative review as well. Keep up the great work. Peace
2:12 um Anthony plz explain yourself
no
The guy responsible for the sculpting for the McFarlane DC figures can be found on Instagram.
He sculpts all of them?
@@AnthonysCustoms I think so .he goes by Losha Magee. He certainly did the head on Grim Knight.
Also the bandolier is not lopsided. It’s actually made to fall that way along the chest and back. The hole that the “gun wings” pegs into is also of center to match with the hole in the bandolier.
I do agree they should have gone with the other artist rendering for the card art.
Cool Batman figure😎
I love the neutrality and objectivity you offer in your videos man, and I listen good? You makin a figure? I can't wait to see them, love your content man!
I’m glad it didn’t come with a rubber cape 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yep, I have a same thought as you with the head
for the question of the day i would say the one on the box, i really like how the black parts look like cloth and the silver parts are armor, i love the torn cape and like how he has different weapons on his back (a spear for example)
EDIT: forget about the cape i just noticed, that's not a cape lol
Prob the box one
his head has angle because when bullet come to head it bounces
McFarlane's DC figures give you the feeling 2 different companies worked on the same figure. How can they have both extremes of good & bad on one figure? Lol.
Got this from walmart for 16 bucks 10/10
Man I was thinking of getting this until I saw that head profile. Unless I can swap it out with a better one.
I love this figure but yeah that head sculpt is horrendous
2:10 watching this in the living room.
My mom: I didn't know you buy those figures because you're into "that" kind of things. Oh well.
Me: 😥😥
Can't wait to see the beyond figure
The real reason why that figure is so expensive is because it's rare. Otherwise it will be priced as any regular batman figure.
Excellent video! God bless!
2:49 lol
We need more figures like White Knight Batman and Azrael!!
LOL how did you not use the profile of his head as the thumbnail?
Anthony showing some restraints I see. Good on ya.
And to think this is one of the more expensive figures on the aftermarket.
The infected superman is my favorite so far out of this line.
I just bought this figure a week ago and I was praying you didn't trash it lol...Damn you!!
Looka cool but not a fan of all the molded guns together. I don't like the head sculpt. This figure could've been a deluxe figure with all those molded weapons that are functional.
I obviously know you can’t because it would take too much time but I’d love to see you do a sculpt in ZBrush of what his head would actually look like without the cowl on. It would be a real messed up face.
I think you were too generous with this one honestly
In what sense? The fact that it's different than the box art? Despite that, the fact that it's very well sculpted and designed and comes with the accessories it does, all for the same price as a marvel legends figure (it was for me) is great in my opinion.
@@xigbar1994 Of course not, that would be silly (although I genuinely have no idea why they keep using box art which doesn't match the figure). I wouldn't call it very well sculpted (they can't sculpt heads to look human for shit) nor would I praise the accessories that came with it (the gun blob is ridiculous). Yeah, it's quite nice that the McFarlane DC figures are all unique sculpts, but a lot of the time the unique sculpts aren't good. Say what you will about Marvel Legends, but using a buck isn't inherently bad, especially if it's a good buck and a good buck is way better than a crappy unique sculpt which this is, with bad proportions and poorly integrated articulation.
@@chataclysm2112 Fair enough, I respect your opinion and people are allowed to have their criticisms, I have mine too (inparticular the Azbat figure). I just think that people are being overally critical and not putting respect on McFarlane's name in that they are releasing some of the best DC figures in years (definitely design wise), all at decent prices. If anything, all this shows is the potential and room for the DC Multiverse line to grow. 👍
I prefer back of the box
Thanks bro, I almost bought this. Once head Batman.
Nice head Batman***
Just got back into action figure collecting, and decided to do some action figure comedy videos on our channel. I'd love to get your feedback.
Altho the headsculpt is a weird shape it kinda reminds me of the artwork in batman black mirror, dick Grayson's head kinda looks like this in the batsuit so mite come in handy for a custom Grayson bat at some point but that's the only reason I would buy this figure.
Damn . Crushed my favorite figure. LOL. The ankles don’t bother me anymore it is what it is at this point. The melted guns I understand but not a big deal cuz collectors have to many guns anyways. Hands it is what it is. The head your absolutely right, I’ll give u that. What’s your favorite Batman so far from McF
Fantastic Review!!! Although I think DC Multiverse has made some improvements, I do not think the McFarlane line is consistent. His figures are a “Hit or Miss!” The articulation is very choppy and convoluted, the head sculpts are at times awkward, there are never fists included with figures that can benefit from having them.....deff not a McFarlane Fan.....further I was pissed when he jacked up Death Stroke!!! Great review though, keep it up!
4:38 I can't stop laughing. Does Mcfarlane actually employ professional sculptors? I made something that looks like that back in my high school art class.
The bat logo on mine is pure white.
I love this figure , making this comment now before I watched the vid, will comment after I see your review , I hope we agree on this figure. If not then I ll be shocked cuz this is such a cool looking figure
The head looks like Todd in a bat mask
I hope Grim Knight gets his own ongoing series. He's the only Dark Knights Metals character I'm interested in. As for the figure, I sold mine as it was quite disappointing for me. I'll just wait for a Mafex or Mezco version.
Weird that some of the guns on his back are from Titanfall... you can see the CAR SMG, and what looks to be a Hemlock as well. Weird. Cool looking figure tho
To answer your question, the cardboard version. The action figure version looks like Punisher cosplaying as Batman lol.
Betray
Where is the “no killing” rule ?
That's the Batman from an Earth from Dark Multiverse
Not "that" Batman.
I want the version of the box.
Bruh he looks like vin deasel front he side 🤣🤣
Idk man, I think of all the junk I buy, this line and the other stuff from Mickey F’s has average figures overall. Yeah they get some good ones in but other than that nothing really hits the dot 100%.
I would have liked this figure more if it actually looked like the picture you used. His arms look really thin, I feel like a lot of these McFarlane figures need better muscle definition.
Also, his face is very bird-like, lol.
The boots have a weird design too. If you look at them from the bottom part they look like they are in the wrong side, but from other angles they look fine. There's so much weird stuff going around the DC Multiverse sculpts.
Cool😀.
How are your figures coming along?
Slowly
@@AnthonysCustoms Why?
I think it's a dumb idea because it's not Batman anymore. It's just Punisher with bat ears. DC and MARVEL both scrapping the bottom of the barrel for ideas these days.
I made this into a custom design red hood
Well, the design of the box is obviously better than the actual figure. And i really don't understand why there are many figures with sculpted weapons. Seriously, it's frustrating.
Maybe you'll actually go through with that Batman head you started on stream lol
Please don't rub him while saying "His crotch is very smooth", to each his own, do what you like in your own home...just don't put it out on video. :)
The packaging was really bad on mine. The grenade launcher looks like a banana.
great review as always, nice dude
Maybe just 1 gun review ?🥺
Can't risk it with yt being they way it is.
I wish Todd would stop with the ball wrists and ankles. They just kill the beauty of the sculpt, I passed up all his wonder woman figures because it looks like someone tied skin colored water balloons around their wrists and ankles.
Why would someone want to wear underwear over their cargo pants?
Should of gave have him more guns to hold and guns holster able weapons
Something about the leg articulation/ legs in general and the molded plastic just ruins this figure for me
So much potential lost.
I think that mcfarlane should've included the molded piece that goes on his back and some other guns too, other than the ones they give us.
It's a really cool figure, but idk there's something wrong with it. Like the face? I'm not a fan of the head sculpt. Also, it's lacking some red accents like the one in the trading card. Makes the figure color a bit boring.
It's because it isn't the version from the box, lol. See the picture Anthony put in the video at the beginning, that's what this figure is supposed to be based off.
Damn rubbing on Batman's crotch 🤣
Why the hell are his eyes so far apart????
Gran figura.💪
The punisher batman sounds like a great idea, but the execution is horrible! It looks like it was made by an intern, not an actual designer! Rookie mistake.
