I was so stoked to see these come around again.. followed by so much disappointment 🤦 Todd gonna Todd and bring us up to the promise land, and kick us off a cliff
I've been chewed out more than once in the past for insisting that DC Universe Classics and DC Direct were both better than McFarlane's DC Multiverse stuff.(infinitely better character selection too) It's crap like this that keeps proving me right over and over again.
You called it man! I was in the boat that I did not get them the first time out. Batman and Robin i absolutly hated when i got them! So much i had to track down the originals! The other 3 are ok, but come on, the cell shading is awful
Hatter, first off intro was a gift. You got nostalgia mixed with sarcasm hinting the tone this review would be BOOMING into the viewer😵💫 😂 this execution looks like they soiled themselves, flop house paint apps😖. I also was eager to see the Condiment King Baf. I was roorting for a course correct with his rendering. Sculpt was great but he does the flop better then any tik toker. Again with the body fluids paint apps. The aggravation with what should of been a wonderful plastic celebration is going to be felt by all. OMG. Thanks to Dwayne for taking a hit for the team 🏅we gotta hope Todd does a deluxe non cell shaded release of CK later maybe a McFarlane store exclusive(sic- easy sell out) 👍🤞
I don’t understand how these products got made. I mean you’re telling me nobody said HEY wait a sec, these look like shit!! 😳🍺 not sure what is happening anymore.
I’ve picked them up twice at different stores then put them back before checking out. The paint just looks so bad on Bats and Robin. Specifically the faces look horrid, like they’re smeared in brown shit
Todd, stop drawing without the proper lighting..bad for your eyes. How was cel shading ever considered a good idea for action figures? I’ve seen statues that is passable with that look but NO GO for action figs of any kind.
Wow, those are absolutely terrible. The old ones are so much better. With all the money you save on not buying this whole wave. You can put that money you saved into the old DC Direct line and you'd be so much happier.
I want to congratulate you. I think it was Confucious who said, "A Toy Hunter may be alert to an entire toy line in one spot, But that is precisely where the most dangerous kill to his own wallet lurks."
6:35 I'd definitely recommend that last animated Batman figure DC Direct (yeah, they were going by that name again at the end) put out...cause it features the cell shading, but very minimal and done to _perfection._
Yeah hard pass on Batman and Robin. That cell shading is just good awful and the price is hilarious. And half my order got canceled by Target because exclusives SUCK! Thanks for nothing Todd. 😂👍
Always love me some MadFarlane, did you know that he created Spawn? When done well, cel-shading elevates a figure. But you know you've done it badly when there's an uptick in people asking and researching for ways to remove it.
I can't think of a cel shaded action figure release that actually looked good. I am sure there are examples (probably by Mondo, maybe NECA). If a company wants to make something look "the animated series," I personally prefer just subtle color accents and going a bit heavier on black lines to emulate how traditional animation uses line work to show definition and depth. Otherwise, these recent cel shaded toys by McFarlane and Hasbro look like the characters got stains on their uniforms and/or wet themselves
Went "oh boy, Condiment King"...then looked at the figures closer and noticed the bad paint apps. Plus there's the $30 price for an individual figure. Ouch.
LMAO, hilarious review! Bought the Mr. Freeze one since I'm not paying those crazy Ebay prices since I was a broke colleague student when that original line was released.
I almost turned off the video after that PERFECT hilarious intro.. I was dead and I felt like that's all I needed to watch... I stayed either way 💥 BOOM 💥 lol
I'm the proud owner of like 98% of the animated line, so glad I don't have to settle for these pieces of reissued shit. At least it's nice ppl are getting the opportunity to buy some of these rare gems, albeit subpar. And definitely wasn't gonna pay $130+ to get Condiment King. Now if they do Tygrus and Anthony Romulus...count me in on however the fuck much money I have to spend on those!
Couldn't agree more-can't stand the recent trend of cell-shading action figures and will not be buying any of them. (You don't need to paint shadows on 3 dimensional action figures-the shadows will appear naturally the same way shadows appear on all 3 dimensional objects. Duh!)
I got mister freeze and will pick up Scarecrow if I see him, but I passed on batman and robin...so ugly. I did want condiment king but those legs are scary. I went from wanting them all to... maybe I will pick up one or two?
Dude! Dude! I totally agree with you! I ain’t buying this stir fried shit. What a waste. It looks like crap. I’ll buy these figures when it is in the $5.00 bin.
Dc collectibles are molded with plain pvc and painted with matte finish. Mcfarlane toys are molded pvc with its color that's why it's shiny. The only painted is that out of placed cel shade. If I'm going to buy that batman definitely going to spray paint it with clear coat matte finish tamiya spray paint. The only thing i hate in dc collectibles are the pvc used are so brittle. At least mcfarlane pvc are slightly durable. The only problem is loose joints. 😅
I got the Freeze and scarecrow when they did the recent toy sale at target. Still Haven't shown up but I will skip Batman and robin on this line. Especially now.
Mr Mad Hatter. When are you going to pull off your face mask, scooby doo style and reveal that you really are Todd McFarland. I closed my eyes for a bit while listening to your intro and I swear you were him or he was you. Very confused 😂
Fucking hilarious intro mr. 🧢 i hope todd stops sniffing glue and starts just re-releasing these with OG paint. Or else I might have to go the with the mondo BTAS
Hopefully McFarlane hears the criticism and stops with the shading. Of course that means he will rerelease these again without the shading down the line and people will have to buy them twice.
Im happy i got the robin mcfarlane just put back in stores and not this one he doesnt have the sell shading and the new adventures batman is good enough for me
Mad Hatter is right about this. Look at that Batman right leg shadow. It's at the same cross-section that the drawers' blue highlight is. So which is it, McFarlane? Is that side in light or in shadow?? Aaaaggghhhh! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I am just not a fan of cell shading on figures. It makes no sense to me on a three dimensional figure. It’s the only reason I haven’t gone all in on the Mondo Batman line.
These are 30 bucks each at Target. Can't afford them at these ridiculous prices. And you're right the shading really stinks.
The loosest legs in history, you say? You haven’t met my ex.
The “All-New McFarlane: Oops, Spilled Paint” series. The kooky new variants
There's the guy , what's good Johnny 💪
He’s always somewhere on these UA-cam videos 😂

I am so looking forward to the day Todd loses this license.
Keep waiting marvel is coming 🤡
lmao at that intro voice over
These look cheap and rigid and deffs heavily overpriced.
OMG, I'm weak!!! I say it all of the time, my friend, you are a national treasure. Pure comedy.
Ugh I just want the Condiment king for my Alan Tudyk collection

Awful
Omg that looks horrible. No way a I buying those
haha terrific review as always Hatter 🤘
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Worse cel shading than hasblow lol.
Thank you, it's so bad
Let's face it they are crap
My Batman's leg fell off immediately out of the package.

Cel shading only works for statues. I've always hated it on action figures.
This figure are terrible. I’ve got the DCDirect Line, soooo much better. This is s..t
Toy companies need to stop with cel shading already!
I don’t understand how these products got made. I mean you’re telling me nobody said HEY wait a sec, these look like shit!! 😳🍺 not sure what is happening anymore.
I've seen figures with decent cel shading. These Mcfarlane figures are definitely NOT it, oh man these are terrible!
It’s so nice of Uncle Todd to do your intros.
I’ve picked them up twice at different stores then put them back before checking out. The paint just looks so bad on Bats and Robin. Specifically the faces look horrid, like they’re smeared in brown shit
Todd, stop drawing without the proper lighting..bad for your eyes.
How was cel shading ever considered a good idea for action figures? I’ve seen statues that is passable with that look but NO GO for action figs of any kind.
Holy shit. Did Todd take advice on cell shading from the Marvel Legends team?
Hahahaha holy fuck I just noticed your thumbnail
Was hyped for these and the I saw Batman in person......they suck
Wow, those are absolutely terrible. The old ones are so much better. With all the money you save on not buying this whole wave. You can put that money you saved into the old DC Direct line and you'd be so much happier.
I saw all of these at Target yesterday, including the alternate Scarecrow. Really glad I did not pick them up.
I want to congratulate you. I think it was Confucious who said, "A Toy Hunter may be alert to an entire toy line in one spot,
But that is precisely where the most dangerous kill to his own wallet lurks."
Its Mcfarlane toys sooo...the figures are well expected to be shite most of the time.
lmfao. that intro. cant stand cell shade shit. i buy mezco, so i cant say anything about the price.
Mad Hatter moving up in the world , special guest star Todd himself. You made it buddy ...........you made it 🙏
6:35 I'd definitely recommend that last animated Batman figure DC Direct (yeah, they were going by that name again at the end) put out...cause it features the cell shading, but very minimal and done to _perfection._

30 is too much for ugly figures should be 10.
Indeed ❤ joe apartment has these 😂😂😂
McFarlane should sell that stool. Boom
Mr Freeze looks great but all the others ehhhhhh not so much 😅
Need the Mad Hatter BOOM! stickers
Always love me some MadFarlane, did you know that he created Spawn?
When done well, cel-shading elevates a figure. But you know you've done it badly when there's an uptick in people asking and researching for ways to remove it.
Where is Josh from before 😂😂😂😂
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
I love your mcfarlane voice is just your regular voice 😂
Brah the spawn cartoon opener lmao
"Owner of this stool.." Too perfect. First time here. I'll be back.
Hatter, you are absolutely hilarious but also on point with this. The Cell Shading... just ugh... 😂😂😂

Crap-Man & Bobbin!🦇💩🌆🙆
The cloth cape on Batman is so that he can sits on the batcycle.
For the price nope
I bet you they will be on clearance vary fast
Awesome intro. 😂😂
Lol the intro 😂
Another mad hatter classic lmao I’m rolling from that intro
Robin does look like he pissed himself 🤣
Went "oh boy, Condiment King"...then looked at the figures closer and noticed the bad paint apps. Plus there's the $30 price for an individual figure. Ouch.
I only got Mr Freeze, Scarecrow, and the Batcycle. Luckily don't give a shit about the Condiment King.
LMAO, hilarious review!
Bought the Mr. Freeze one since I'm not paying those crazy Ebay prices since I was a broke colleague student when that original line was released.
Sticking with the DC Direct Batman from Batman: The Animated Series and Combat Belt Batman I own. Don't like cel shading, Batman looks especially bad.

What the hell is that giant pin in Batman's side for his ab crunch? Just don't give him the ab crunch, it looks awful.
"Hey guys! What if we redo those figures people love but way worse?"
Todd's off his meds again...

Taylor Swift is pregnant! Hatter is the father. Don’t tell his wife. She seems cool. Hatter, you got some ‘splaining to do.
I highly agree with you, and no I don't own anything from the original wave. This makes me furious with that horrific shading!!!
Neca did some weird “Poster Version” of King Kong that reminds me of these a bit. It looked like someone threw up Fruity Pebbles all over it.
I got the Freeze and scarecrow when they did the recent toy sale at target. Still Haven't shown up but I will skip Batman and robin on this line. Especially now.
That intro made my night 😂
Mr Mad Hatter. When are you going to pull off your face mask, scooby doo style and reveal that you really are Todd McFarland. I closed my eyes for a bit while listening to your intro and I swear you were him or he was you. Very confused 😂
That opening segment was hot as hellfire!!!!! 😂😂😂😂-- I will never see the Spawn HBO series the same way again.
Condimented Batman figures. Your disgust for these is hilarious. 😂
Fucking hilarious intro mr. 🧢 i hope todd stops sniffing glue and starts just re-releasing these with OG paint. Or else I might have to go the with the mondo BTAS
Hopefully McFarlane hears the criticism and stops with the shading. Of course that means he will rerelease these again without the shading down the line and people will have to buy them twice.
I’m not against cel shading, but on these figures it looks terrible
Did you know Todd McFarlane created Spawn!?
And check out LEK Customs for the absolute best cel shaded customs!
🤦they should let nature do their job, just use some lighting to make natural shadow🤦🤦🤦
Saw the Batman in person at Target today and left it there. They ruined it.
The only company that does cell shading right is the company that doesn't do it at all!!!!!
Damn it Hatter! Don't mince words, tell us how you really feel!
I should have known the voiceover was coming but it got me laughing
Im happy i got the robin mcfarlane just put back in stores and not this one he doesnt have the sell shading and the new adventures batman is good enough for me
As soon as you turned Batman to the side view, I spit out my drink. What the hell is even that????
I wish this cel shaded trend would go away already, when done badly it ruins good figures.
You know that Josh kid was pissed watching that intro 🤣🤣😂😂
I don’t think it’s cell shading but it’s supposed to be shadows and tinting. It’s still hideous tho.
God, I wanted these to be good. Still got the cycle.
Mad Hatter is right about this. Look at that Batman right leg shadow. It's at the same cross-section that the drawers' blue highlight is.
So which is it, McFarlane? Is that side in light or in shadow?? Aaaaggghhhh! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I am just not a fan of cell shading on figures. It makes no sense to me on a three dimensional figure. It’s the only reason I haven’t gone all in on the Mondo Batman line.
I know when I pick them up I did one target was doing one of their sales on spend so much money get money off
I agree with you, but I missed out with dc direct so have no choice 😢
I saw them all at Target. Smelled them a little.. Left them there
