@@glennjthompson332 There was little chance they'd make significant changes to the body, but detachable things like capes, accessories etc. is possible.
I did a black wash on mine with details on the wounds, this is a great repaint with two great head sculpts, but needed a wired cape. Now if we can just get a Mutant Leader 7", that would be great.
I like the lamppost, I might get this set for $10 if it makes it to Ollie’s or clearance and sell the Batman figure. I gave the build a horse version of this to my daughter with the Superman, Robin, and Joker. The goofy long legs seem better here, it works OK for sitting on the horse.
That’s pretty good. McFarlane does a lot better when the actual design of the figure is exaggerated. It hides that they suck at sculpting to be honest and the paint job upgrade is decent.
Ah yes, Buttcrackman! Those headsculpts and paints are nice, shame indeed about the wonky eyes. I wish they would go the extra and add a touch of that light blue shading and black comic line work shading to the rest of the blue sections.
McFarlane kept ignoring the body Proportion of different version of Batman. He gave them the similar body build , super long leg like Male model on the fashion catwalk. Mafex is the best.
I bought this because it’s tribute to Frank Miller. I am not a Mcfarlane fan at ALL! But I like the color and detail of this figure. I think it’s fine. Thank you frank🙌🏾✨✨✨
Lamp post should have came with the armored Batman, but happy to have it. Now PLEASE can we get a Mutant Leader, since he's the reason this Batman is "battle-damaged" in the first place?
I got the original figure from a Game Exchange for free. The cape was ripped off and I asked the price. I brought the damage to the sellers attention and she sighed, "Just take it..." The funny thing is I was going to add a cloth cape anyway. The sad part is that set me on a path of actually buying McFarlane DC Universe figures even though they are 7 inch scale. I'm a 1/12th scale collector. At least the figures I get should scale with each other.
I think I'll get this and acetone the "battle damage" away, this is far and away a better release than the original figure if because of the added parts. Also I noticed they got rid of the card display base which is a plus, if it means we get little dio pieces like the lamp post more often.
I haven't verified this myself, but Brad the DC Universe Geek said this figure was molded in black plastic, so cleaning up the battle damage would require painting over the painted parts. Again, I'm not sure about it myself, but just exercise a little caution before just rubbing the paint off!
I would prefer pintless joints on McFarlane DC figures over ML maybe it's the slightly larger scale or something, but this figure made me realize it bothers me a bit where as ML I don't really care
Sorry, this trend with the battle damage tampo irritates me beyond rational thought. It's so blatantly lazy and uninspired. Idk why I expect anything different from this company though - "We didn't sculpt battle damage, but here's this bullsh*t lamp post!" Ugh.
theres no comparison to the mafex version because theres nothing to be gleaned. this figures isnt even good at its own price. the mafex is really good at a much higher price.
I do like the blue and gray costume. Though not that blue. I like when it is baby blue (like the Variant of the animated version...reason why I bought it and not the original) and the blue used like in the Knightfall figure. If someone could tell me the name of that particular blue. Though I don´t know hot Batman changed so drastically his costume from the original black and gray (his first appearances) to that. And although it works...when one stops to think about it doesn´t for the character he is is and how he works at night/shadows. Still, I´d like DC to create a character that makes use of that color combination. PS I also adore the colors of Bat-Manga version. Another color combination that should be used in a character. ...can someone also tell me what colors are those?
This is what confuses me. I know you mentioned it recently in another vid. But... Cmon now. You did mention the body skin tone a little. But this is awful. Like he's made from a sweet potato compared to his face. If you saw it on a marvel legends you WOULD have made it a much bigger issue 😊 Besides that, it's about time you make a sub genre grade for McFarlane like you do for MLs. Cos McFarlane can be all kinds of bad. But you kinda give that a pass too and say "it's just McFarlane". 👍 Not said in an aggro way, just giving feedback. If you want us to see you as a fair and even handed figure reviewer, I'd politely challenge that. ML definitely have problems. Even when you listen to tone of voice, you hear a definite change when it's marvel time. Even if you compare this review to the colossus one, big differences.
Respectfully, your comment itself explains why you're confused. You completely ignore any context within my reviews and within the industry. You bring up Colossus. He's a brand new figure riddled with problems that have no reason to exist. You're comparing that review to a repaint. Context matters. Here are some points to consider. 1. The original version of this Batman was torn to shreds in its review. I referred to that review multiples times. This review is of the variation details. 2. I included the good and the bad... just as I did for Colossus, for the record. 3. Hasbro deserves to be judged harsher because, generally speaking, Hasbro charges more for their products in every way possible. Hasbro releases far fewer new sculpts. Hasbro uses less paint. Hasbro includes fewer accessories. Hasbro is a vastly larger and better resourced company. Please don't tell me what I WOULD do. That's the weakest of straw man arguments you can make. You know what I DID do. You just decided to ignore any of the reasons why. If you don't know that I'm a fair and even handed reviewer, you aren't paying attention of have your own biases coming through. I have no idea if you're a Marvel Legends fanboy or if you don't collect them at all but it is interesting that the only time people make the kinds of assertions that you have is when they're defending Hasbro.
Missed opportunity to give a wired cape.
With double jointed elbows..🙄Not the single joint arms again..😆
It's still a good figure from frank Miller.😄👍

I will never understand this company’s complete incompetence 😅
I burst out laughing when you mentioned George Hamilton.
😆😅🤣😂🤣
"Cake Rates" for All videos😂😂😂
Aight Anthony, McFARLANE Toys has just revealed their Christopher Reeve Superman and the BvS wave; it would be cool if you would review all of them.
IDK. Definitely not interested in any other than Batman

Yes, the blue/grey/black works well and it's accurate to the iconic cover of the Dark Knight Returns comic.
the crevace line killed me

George Hamilton as Bruce Wayne......interesting. Once seen it is impossible not to see it.

Just shows how different everyone’s needs in the community are cuz that lamppost was the only thing I perked up at lol
Well, maybe you can please everyone lol
I've seen people keeping the cowl on this guy but throwing the unmasked head on their armored dkr batman and I think that looks really nice

So many McFarlane's recently
Damn, he's not just orange, he's Oompa Loompa orange.

The light gray suit parts are painted black plastic, so if you try to remove the battle damage, you'll remove the light gray too.
I would get one of these if i already didnt have a mafex fat bats. That was the first import i bought because of your review btw...40 imports later.
His exposed skin areas still have the cloth folding sculpts through it. Like this fig but wow that's lazy af (definitely cleaning it off)
Yeah. But be careful. I've heard there's black underneath. Haven't tested yet
I haven't verified this myself, but Brad the DC Universe Geek said this figure was molded in black plastic, so cleaning up the battle damage would require painting over the painted parts. Again, I'm not sure about it myself, but just exercise a little caution before just rubbing the paint off!
I'll check tomorrow but there's definitely not black plastic in some of the joints. Grey all the way through
@@AnthonysCustomsso can we use alcohol to remove the battle damage or no.? If we can, what percentage or ratio of rubbing alcohol to purchase?
@@AnthonysCustoms good to know! I definitely wanna remove the damage, but don't want to fully repaint it
When Batman works himself out of crime to fight, all that he has left is pumping iron and working on his sick tan.
I would prefer pintless joints on McFarlane DC figures over ML maybe it's the slightly larger scale or something, but this figure made me realize it bothers me a bit where as ML I don't really care
U getting the new beyond figure? How about the superman batman fusion

Par for the course with this line
would have loved a comparison to the mafex dark knight return battle damage batman. i slept on this release thinking no sellout would happen.
theres no comparison to the mafex version because theres nothing to be gleaned. this figures isnt even good at its own price. the mafex is really good at a much higher price.
Do you still have some stuff to sale ?

I also adore the colors of Bat-Manga version. Another color combination that should be used in a character.
...can someone also tell me what colors are those?
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Sorry, but that’s a 9 for cake rating 😂
"Butt Pain"😆😅🤣😂
Are you gonna review Cammy from jada toys ? i think you will be pleased with it
of course.
😂😂😂 That crack rating! 🔥
Is it just me or is his buttcrack shaded? It looks a lot darker more than just shadow
It's just that deep. Seriously
Unless really want it, add a wash to it?
I like the lamp post but the figure just doesn't look good enough
Meh, still can't get over the strange body. My Mafex DKR still stands strong.
No real bicep swivel for a 20+ dollars dc figure, completely pass on this.
Figure looks like ass, McFarlane figures are entry level collectibles
Not keen on the blue and grey for this figure tbh.
Thats why he has the grimace on his face, because of his wedgie.
Did Joker design this figure's arse crack? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Looks like another batman to me 🙄 but hey i gave you a like anyway
The MAFEX version is way better
Yes. That's not a helpful comparison though
I feel ever time you review a batman figure it looks worse and worse. 🤷 Glad am not reviewing the same figures over and over for a job
That crack is whack…
First!
