That’s the first DC mystery box, I believe.
The first of many, I hope!!!
I'm actually a huge fan of Tim Sale and his designs. It kinda reminds me of Tim Burtons Batman universe. I recently heard he was a big influence on Greg Capulo who's another one of my favourite batman artists.
Two legends for sure, but for me, I just don't love his Batman design
@@CarbonScoring zero year and court of owls basically made me fall in love with the character all over again. He's definitely one of my favourite modern artists!
@@casual_bill8749 Court of Owls and Endgame (Joker's big comeback after losing his face and Jim Gordon and his mech Batman have to get Bruce back into the Batman role) are easily two of the best modern Batman stories we've been given.
When you were looking at the hush storyline Harley, you said “ again super super gorgeous… head sculpt.” No matter how hot the figure, you only care about the sculpt. That’s what I call dedication 😂😂😂
just in case my wife watches the videos...
@@CarbonScoring smart man
Love this. I will always take unique sculpt and paint over articulation so I'm a big fan of DC Direct.
Agree - huge fan of artist specific sculpts - no one did that better than DC Direct!
We have to at least get this man to 100k and I can’t wait for this
That is the kind of can-do attitude we appreciate at Carbon Scoring!
Man I miss dc collectibles/dc direct figures , the sculpts and the paint work made each figure unique I have a lot of the Arkham figures they did years back .
They were truly works of art - we will see more soon!
15:58 the first figure I ever bought, started my collection and REALLY got me interested into Brian Bolland’s Two Face. 32:18 the one Batman I’ve not been able to find, one day!
Ahhh - the best of times and the worst of times...
This is gonna be a great Mystery Bat full of Box Man...
It is going to blow you away!!!
BTW, as much as I like Tim Sale's art in 2D, I'd pick grotesque Penguin over comicbook-y Penguin.
Great figure collection as always, so keep the excellent videos coming!
Will do!
I like the variety of characters, both well-known and unsung fan-favorites, there are in this collection!
The Mr. Freeze is a great combo of realism and Mike Mignola's art (originated for the Batman Animated Series version).
In regards to that Batman with the crazy-looking cape, that head-sculpt seems like a very Alex Ross-ian design.
You may or may not know these details on the characters, but for the uninitiated, the modern version of Huntress is Helena Bertinelli, the daughter of a Mafia boss. Her immediate family was killed as a result of a twisted-"Romeo & Juliet"-type romance gone wrong when her mother had an affair with the son and heir of a rival gangster. The son put a hit out on the family, but asked for his lover to be spared; however in a twist that can only come from literary fiction, the assassin mixes Helena up with her mother and kills the mother instead, leaving Helena alive to enact vengeance against all mobsters. While sanctioned by the Dark Knight, unlike Batman she uses lethal methods (similar to Azrael) to subdue her targets, usually with wrist-mounted crossbow ammo or other projectiles.
As for Batwoman, other than the orientation to which you alluded, the only other things I know about her are that she's Bruce Wayne's (distant or otherwise?) cousin and she has a background in military training.
Dude! Strong work - thanks for bringing more life and knowledge to this video!
Would love to still see that TMNT mystery box!
No worries! That is definitly in the queue!
Thanks to anyone putting up with my comments.
About 5 years ago I bought my first action figure off of e Bay. It was a Batman of Zur en Aar with Batmite. I also got a chrome New 52 Batman and an Ed McGuiness Batwoman in that order.
Since then I've nosedived straight down the proverbial rabbit hole. Marvel Legends sucked me in, but Mattel DC Multiverse disappointed me and I began looking for better looking versions of the characters I wanted on my shelf.
While I enjoy several different styles and brands of action figures, DC Direct is hands down my favorite. This video, which I interpreted as a love letter to the line, was exciting and satisfying to me at the same time. I really couldn't help myself with the commenting. I hope my insights were at least helpful to some.
I'm proud to say I was at about 75% on ownership of what was shown. I'm subscribing as soon as I'm done running my mouth again. I hope to find more videos like this.
Welcome on board, Lance - your comments are always welcome. I must say - your first action figure was Zur en Aar Batman!?!?!?!?! Wow. just...wow! Can't wait for you to enjoy even more DC Direct mystery boxes coming up - I have lots and lots...
Thanks for helping identify these figs - like I say, I just open the box and start talking!
Jim Lee’s nightwing is AWESOME!!! LOVE THESE VIDEOS!! Keep it up, I’m learning so much about dc because I’m normally marvel, but thanks Carbon a lot!
YES! My goal is for everyone to learn something new watching my videos!
@@CarbonScoring ab-so-friggin-lutely so much info love these!!
23:50 That Posion Ivy (own it) is from the rouges gallery series with classic two face, Brian Bolan Killing Joke Batman (Hugo strange head), and Killing Joke Hawaiian Shirt Joker (No hat that is a 2 pack with Brian Boland Batman. Need that set)
Thanks Peter - no way I was going to remember all that!
I also have that fitst batman from the bottom of the box. The classic looking one with the leathey cape. One of my sll time favorite Batman figs.
That is a super cool figure!
It's the best one yet....
I wish I could have there in my collection.
Very lucky my friend.
I miss when people used to care about figures and making them fantastic where I feel like most don't these days
I don’t feel that way! I actually think we have more options now - more scales, import figures - that give us tremendous variety! DC Direct was able to do some very specific things because of the built in market niche it had with comic shops, but c’mon - we just got a perfect Crystar figure!
@@CarbonScoring Fair enough. I mean to be fair I am currently working on a Marvel Legends collection. Some looked better than others honestly lol
The first time I read The Killing Joke, it put me in a weird headspace. I still enjoyed though, one of the top-tier Batman stories. That and The Long Halloween are two of my favourites. I need to re-read Long Halloween it has been years since I last read it.
Both excellent stories - top 5 bat books!
I did have a soft spot for Nightwing ‘disco collar’ costume
It totally defines that era!
The Tim Sale Robin is actually from the final book in the year one trilogy dark victory which is the follow up to long Halloween
Great pick up! Thanks!!!
The second Joker figure or the one with a crowbar was based on Andy Kubert’s Joker from the Batman and Son storyline. This is also my first Joker action figure.
Nice - thanks for the pick up!
Mezco one: 12 is really hard to top in the 6 inch scale the detail and accessories are unmatched they put their heart into every figure they make
They do great work. I was messing around with the Mezco Dark Kinght Returns figure for an upcoming video (hint, hint)
They do great work. I was messing around with the Mezco Dark Kinght Returns figure for an upcoming video (hint, hint)
Man I'm a sucker for batman in his grey blue look.. anything that resembles the artwork by Adams or Garcia.
BINGO!!! THIS!!!
Those guys, along with the aforementioned Sale, Aparo, Alex Ross, Bruce Timm, and Brian Bolland, are some of my favorite Batman artists.
@@titanguy7316 yes! 100% agree 😀
Loved the video, would love to see more mystery boxes of Batman
I just found more boxes of DC direct in my attic....
Man thank you so much for shining the light on some of these forgotten gems. Added some to my list for sure!!
Glad you enjoyed it - much more like this to come!
You are an amazing commutator and your videos ease all my stress
That is awesome - thanks for the kind compliment!
Jim Lee Batman and the one after Jim Lee’s are probably my favourite Batman’s 🦇🥷🏼
Jim Lee does draw an incredible Batman1
After Spidey, Batman is my second favorite superhero. Suck polar opposites in terms of characters, but their rouges gallery are neck and neck amongst the very best in comics. Fantastic collection and a terrific video. I highly enjoyed this one.
Thanks! I plan to keep branching out into other areas of my collection with these Mystery Boxes - but hard to go wrong starting out with a strong Bat-Box!
I remember seeing on a comic book documentary, that one guy set up a robot caller to vote for Jason Todd to die
It was such a big thing - I think a bunch of us voted “die” just to see if they would do it…
Mighty mugs needs to come back! Those were so much better shelf candy than funko pops.
Still planning on doing a Mighty Muggs Mystery Box!
@@CarbonScoring do it!! Feed our dopamine!!! You nostalgia crack dealer!!
He 100% kills joker at the end of killing joke, there’s an action word or whatever you call it on the panel that says *snap*
I love the fact it is still kinda ambiguous.
With all the action figures this guy has he really should try doing some stop motion animated movies with these. Is there anyone who agree's with me?
Whew - that is a whole nother level of commitment...
@@CarbonScoring Don't worry. It was just an Idea you don't have to if you don't want to.
I gotta get some of these figures they look outstanding.
Several of these are going to be featured in the Batman: Panels to Plastic video!
Nice to see someone giving DC direct the credit they deserve. Rather than just me hahaha
Oh, yeah - we will see much more from DC Direct in the future!
I dont read comics as I find them hard to find, however i watched the movies of dark knight returns, they were 2 of the greatest movies i ever saw, peter weller brought him to life. Just the way he talked was like this is batman. I got the recent ish 4 pack of him joker superman robin and joker years ago snd need to put that on the desk as a tribute for the single greatest batman story created
Great stuff! Hopefully you learn a little comic history from my videos!
27:59 DC Direct Superman Batman wave 6. My favorite Batman (Well black and gray batlogo) perfect heads-up. I had to buy another so I used this cape for Neca 89 Batman. Love the leather looking cape so perfect for 89 Keaton Batman costume cloth was weird
Thanks, Peter - great pick up!
The blue and grey Batman at the end is actually Dr. Strange in Batman's costume.
😂
The orange and light blue two face had a cool accessorie a flipping coin placed on his thumb. Had the figure but lose that accessorie 18:00
Ohhhh - that is awesome, I'll have to dig back through the bottom of this box or look when we get to some other DC Direct boxes!
Tim Bruckner is a really amazing sculptor.
Truly a legend!
@@CarbonScoring agreed,not sure if he's still active as much lately or it doesnt show me his posts as frequent but he is on the facebook posting stuff every now and then.
@@HELLEKSONART I’ll have to check that out! Thanks!
I would love a mighty mug review cause they look weird but cool
They are sooooooooo cool. I'll do it at some point
You should do Batman villains mystery box (same way you did with Spider Man) and do a Joker mystery box (same way you did with Green Goblin).
This is the second time reverse flash showed up in a unrelated box
Hmmmm. That starts to make you wonder....
@@CarbonScoring Maybe he's trying to do a Flashpoint of his own, end up in any non-Flash-related Mystery Box...
not going to lie i would have enjoyed a mighty muggs mystery box
no worries - it'll happen!
Never seen the Tim Sale Two-Face figure before. Shame decent-looking Harvey figures like that are often out of my price range...One day perhaps.
Pretty cool figure from the early 2000s
That last joker you showed is the killing joke joker
Brian Bolland did the killing joke
Did I say something stupid again? Did I seriously mess up and not give Bolland credit for Killing Joke, cause I need to turn in my Nerd Card if I did...
I need some Alfred figures for my collection.
I think the animated one was recently either rereleased or available for preorder
Are there many other DC boxes?? Is that part of the mystery? I’m one of the those marvel zombies that also loves DC
I have far more Marvel Toys than DC, but, yes, we are going to do many, many more DC boxes as we go along!
The head on the umbrella looks more like an Asian dragon than a penguin to me.
huh - maybe it is a fire breathing penguin...
Great video as always! Question for ya this time. What is your favorite bat suit? I'm a big fan of the 1989 solid black or the more modern version of the blue and grey with a solid black bat on the front
I think we always tend to fall back on the suit we grow up with - so for me, my two favorite bat looks are the classic 70's 80's grey and blue - the Neil Adams look, or the Frank Miller look from Dark Knight
You will love the dkr McFarlane wave
I would give both of my legs to have just some of the awsome figures you have. Keep up the great work man and keep expanding your collection 👍👍
I wish I had that Reverse Flash.
Kevin Maguire!
YES! My mouth doesn't work so good sometimes!
Very impressive looking action figures ☺️👍 I love the different designs for the DC characters
DC Direct always did the best job of artist specific offerings
Can't wait for the other mystery boxes, this video is awesome tho 👍
Thanks my friend - appreciate you always watching!
Awesome! This is the content I’d like to see. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it - hopefully you have taken a deep dive into all our Mystery Box videos - I try to drop a ton of comic knowledge in with spontaneous reviews of these incredible figures!
@@CarbonScoring I definitely will watch more of your videos and I hope you will be able to get more popular!
im in love with your channel man you've earned my subscribe! Keep up the great work!!
Dude, that’s great! I promise to work hard to keep earning it!
Na na na na na na na na na na na na batman
Do you have any idea how hard it was not to just sing that the entire time I was filming this video!?!
@@CarbonScoring lol
That killing joke Batman is technically wrong. He doesn’t have the yellow oval behind his bat symbol in the killing joke.
I went back and checked - he does have the oval in Killing Joke
@@CarbonScoring I could’ve sworn he had the black symbol with no oval
@@CarbonScoring oh it’s the recolor version that does away with the oval. Thats why I thought it wasn’t there. The original colors have the oval.
The huntress looks like the comic version of hawkeye
OMG All these figures are perfect! it must be amazing to have them! ♥
It is kinda great…
@@CarbonScoring it kinda takes a lot of space too lol
It's insane how many figures you have
batman was 55 in batman the dark knight returns
Gotcha - thinking about doing a series on the Dark Knight Returns - interested?
Call scoring I want you to do a video of Justice League toys
You got it! Hang in there - it will happen!
sick Batman mystery Box!
Not really a fan of batman, im more on superman but i like that mystery box u got u really have infos with each. I love batmans mobile only but this interest me
Always glad to drop the info!
awesome shelves!
Yeah - these figures are waaaaaay too good to be in a box - gotta get them out on display!
do the Green goblin neckst
So, I did a full Goblin history video and this saturday I am doing a Mezco Green Goblin review
Also do superman mystery box
11:00 wonder if this inspired Batman beyond Arkham knight skin
For figure-hunting purposes (probably will have to check eBay or Amazon or something since it's likely to be long out of production), can anyone tell me which line the Batman figure @ 29:20 came from? I cannot find an accurate title for it to search for it online.
You know I’m clueless - hopefully one of our regulars can help you out!
Mid to late 40s dark knight returns Serious. Mid 60s to late 60s. Maybe early 60s. Right now for comic I think with 5 Robin's he has to be 45 in comics and he's still in his prime.
He was 55 in that book.
Thanks! I wasn't sure. He does have that one quote where he says " If feel like a man of 50, of 40 again"
There are movie's of the killing joke and a death in the family
I haven't seen them, but those books are a huge part of my childhood and comics reading history
Love your content keep up the great work
Much thanks! I'll do my best!
You can you leave me a link to some of these action figures please I love dc figures
I think most of these are 10+ years old...
I want to get a Batman/any Batman villian action figure for one of my Christmas presents, which one is cheap but still good?
Can’t wait for a tmnt mystery box
This collection is amazing bro!! If you're looking to sale any of these please let me know. Lol
Both Poison Ivy versions are amazing in their own way. I don't think I could choose one over the other. Regarding the Killing Joke, I only saw the animated movie adaptation. The laugh at the end didn't work for me at all. Batman apparently forgot what was done to Barbara Gordon, but that's a discussion for another time. Loved the video, by the way!
Thanks, Michael - I appreciate you watching multiple videos!
How do you get the mystery box if i wanted to get one??
This is a box of figures that I have collected over the years
Also also, boy does that Reverse Flash have a great chin on him!
Right!?! That thing could cut glass…
Moments in history
Where did your supplier get this mystery box!?
These are just figures I have collected over the years!
No that is not Jim Lee Joker 20:00 that is Batman and son. 2006 Joker Andy Kubert 24:40 is Jim Lee Joker (not a fan of this figure or Jim Lee Joker weird nose)
Thank you sir! Haven't looked at these in years! Cool figures for sure!
What was the name of the Batman at 7:40 with the leathery cape. I am trying to locate it
I thought the mad hatter was from alice in wonderland
Indeed! Aren’t they both mad hatters?
Can you do a Star Wars action figure review
Ummmm...yeah.. ua-cam.com/video/ZZfDsHDpbaY/v-deo.html
May I please have all your captain action figures
Soo, where I can buy it?
21:27 is Flashpoint Reverse Flash. And about 30 seconds before my heart was broken along with Huntress arm. That's my favorite version of her. Watching you manipulate these has been making me cringe lol
I'm sorry if it's obnoxious for me to keep identifying these....in minute 24, that is the Secret Files Poison Ivy, which is my favorite version of her in action figure form.
Also in minute 24, you were correct on that being the Hush/Jim Lee Joker. I did not recognize the previous Joker shown.
I nearly forgot about the Long Halloween Catwoman. There are many versions of Ms. Kyle, but that is my favorite. Knight fall being a close second.
30:20 Justice League International Batman
Really? I mean, there are supposed to be "action figures"
Mighty Muggs
Did you do a joker box?
Not yet, but as I go through more DC boxes - that is a possibility fo rsure!
Hey man! I was just wondering who your favorite “joke”-type Batman villain? My favorite Batman villain in general is Killer Moth (i think he is extremely underrated) and i was wondering what d-list batman villains are your fav
Dude, the Killer Moth figure from DCUC is one of my favorites. Outside of that - gotta go with Calendar Man
@@CarbonScoring Calender man has such great potential with his gimmick for sure! Gotta loves that bright red and white costume with the date cape.
Love all the vids so good not lying
The flesh 60s looking Ivy is a Brian Bolland Ivy. Same with the non Tim Sale looking Two-Face. Also,the Joker with the crowbar,Tim Drake & Damian Wayne are Andy Kubert figs. AWESOME video as always,man.
Thank you sir! More Batman content coming in the next few weeks!
While these DC Direct figures have amazing sculpts, I really don't care too much for them due to their lack of articulation.
I love a good sculpt, but I find it hard to justify buying a figure if it doesn't have at least, decent articulation.
One of the reasons I love Toybiz (I know, I know, talking Marvel stuff on a DC video) is because they were great with marrying great sculpt with great articulation.
I hear you, but they aren't really trying to be Marvel Legends - they are more focused on sticking to the artistic look of the original creators
@@CarbonScoring Yeah, I think they're great and I understand the appeal of great artist accurate sculpts, however they're just not for me. Still, good video and good figures! I can still very much appreciate all these figures, even if I don't want them.
em when theres cat woeman he said batman
Don't show the box to us because then there is no point of mystery box right. Keep the box a side then pick one character and show us. Love your videos.
I'm not sure. It provides a backdrop for the figures and also keeps you guessing (and anticipating) what is coming next. What does everybody else think?
@@CarbonScoring I think you should continue showing the box on camera
Can you please do Superman
Oh, for sure! that is on the list!
