@@symbiote1982pk mcfarlane would be great if it were 6" scale, they're missing out on my business. All lines should have made their figures 6" scale since that is the original scale used when figures started getting articulation early 2000s
I mainly wanted Starfire and Beast Boy out of this line, going back to the convention previews of the prototypes... I think these look okay, for the most part. But, the QC issues, and the seeming lack of scaling them all complimentary to one another, really is bothersome to me. Unlike a few other figure lines that put a lot more effort into those kind of things. I’d say that I’m mildly disappointed on those levels. But, at the same time, on an individual basis, I’m much more impressed than I thought I’d be by some of the figures in this wave that I hadn’t been looking for.
I would still want them to complete the Teen Titans shelf that I'm planning on getting, any ideas on which Raven figure I use? I think the DC Universe Classics one but idk
Was really hoping Mattel would give it their all and go out with a bang. The prototype for Starfire was gorgeous. Instead seem to be going out with the same whimper they been giving all along sadly. More than ready to see what McFarlane has for us.
Once the final wave of Multiverse is released I will do a big fat look-back video showing the good and the bad. As much as Mattel has done some great things over the years it really does seem like it’s time to pass the torch.
For a half hour video, you proved that you are the only guy who can do a long review video without making viewers skipping any second, you are a real talent, keep going man that is absolutely fantastic!!!
I want BLACK LIGHTNING!!! UPDATE: After swearing off buying any more action figures for awhile, I found myself ordering BLACK LIGHTNING from Entertainment Earth. Oh, well... I wants it!
I really wish i could get that Black Lightning, i have a thing for live action heroes and that Black Lightning would be a great addition to my "live action" DC Heroes collection, great job as always, keep it up!!!!
Cheap plastic, sloppy paint, soft face sculpting, bad proportions, and not being properly scaled kills this line by Mattel. Oh how I wish Hasbro had the DC license.
BoBiggHHB 3 For real bro and I don’t have a lot of faith in McFarlane either, after hearing about the articulation and QC issues with their Fortnite action figures.
Damn... hearing that is a let down. I haven't had a Mcfarlane figure since the Wetworks line. Going to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best, bruh. DC really needs to step it up
ML are just as bad for all those same points you made. Their buck reuse is ridiculous , the price is way too high for the garbage they give you, they have gummy joints and a lot of figures just look like officially licensed kitbashes. ML are trash, just popular trash.
I don’t even get to see these waves the last wave of figures I saw was the lex Luther cnc wave and that was back in December that was the last time I saw that wave never again the only new things I’ve seen is the Shazam wave
Great video brad. I know you don’t like people giving you suggestions about your reviews but many people like me would definitely appreciate it if you included the actual height of the figures instead of just comparisons. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!
Not at all. I don't mind taking suggestions. Some people can be a little rude or smug sometimes. I don't appreciate that sort of thing but I'm always pen to Super Friends making suggestions.As for the measure, I was planning on it months ago actually because it was suggested. And then I lost my ruler. I just need to get one handy to my review area so I can remember. :-)
TheFaintofHearts2113 I cherry pick the line nightwing,batgirl,joker, even Superman came out really nice. They also seem to mix on scale wise a little bit better with other DC collectibles. Take a second look amazon has them on sale off and on. Nightwing was 17$. SOLD!!!
Okay, for me, most of these are a must, like I really want any of the titans. Black Lightning, Ninja Batman, and John Stewart, a bit less so, but still pretty nice. Beast Boy being large is a little odd, but I'll probably have him in a crouching pose, anyhow.
I remember getting a Black Lightning toy when I was a teenager in the 90s Has to be the only time he was wearing a red and black shirt with a collar. I'm surprised you don't have a copy. You've got every DC toy I could imagine.
I'm glad beast boy is so big because he's on the shelf with my essentials figures where he fits in perfectly. He such a step up from the rest of this line.
Pretty surprised to see a BAF Batman. With the countless Batman versions and variants we've seen over the decades, you'd think Mattel wouldn't hesitate to make a Ninja Batman readily available on its own.
Despite the quality control issues, I'll defiantly be getting the Wally West Flash for my collection. But I had to repaint the face of the Kid Flash from the previous wave. It was supper messy. Could these issues be because Mattel doesn't have the DC license any more, so they don't care?
Well there's a difference between them first off Ariana has power off money and Kori has super powers such as strength and her green solar energy that shoots out her fists and eyes 😁
Thanks for updating about the new DC multiverse collection I do like Black Lighting character & yet I to haven't seen the series also.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 man oh man you're right when those little smudges appear it does alternate the look of a doll I wish they would perfect their brush strokes.🙌🎨🖌️ Will you go back and touch up the imperfections?
These are really disappointing. They don’t even go together... the sizes of the heads are all over the place. The paint work is meh I love all of these characters and I MIGHT get Starfire and I’m a Wally fan so I might get him but despite being a DC fan I will stick to Marvel Legends
I sold my dcuc starfire for this multiverse version so I hope i get to see her in stores... the scale is bothering but I can make things work with poses...also held of on getting the dcuc beast boy for this multiverse smh...still trying to get this wave I’m a huge titans and teen titans fan
These are absolutely sick!!! Can’t wait to get them all (except nighwing, I already have the missions one) Hope they make a Batman who laughs and red death figure soon or some more rebirth figure like Sideways,God speed or Superman of china or a firefly figure similar to the 2004 Batman animated series
Still have yet to see the lobo wave hit my stores and you already got this wave! Smh I hope the next dc carrier isn’t as bad as mattel...the only new things I see is that Shazam wave which is totally peg warmers ...sigh I guess I’d have to pay extra I want most of this wave except for the cnc and black lightning, he looks cool but I want a rebirth comic version of him
Glad I didn’t preorder these now; most all of them turned out pretty disappointing imo. Nightwing and John Stewart are especially downgrades from the dcuc versions.
I would have to say I disagree with you about Nightwing as far as his facial sculpt. I really prefer this news ones head. If I end up getting a second one I'll be doing a boil and pop. lol
Brad The DC Universe Geek yeah the new head on the dcuc body does sound like the ideal look for sure. The lack of sculpted detail for his costume is just what really sets them apart for me
From what I observed, there are no physical retail storw that stocks Mattel DC Multiverse anymore. At least the closest stores to me in Washington. However, last month I saw the Lex Luthor wave at Target......
The Beast boy and Flash Multiverse heads would fit perfectly with the small figures (DC Universe extra young versions) if they would be smaller ones. And the Beast boy and Kid flash Universe heads would fit perfectly in the multiverse figures if they would be a little bigger. Correct?. Or correct?. Yeah. Its correct.
FYI hey do pay homage to the comicbook version of black lightning in 2 S1 flashbacks. that starfire .... not as good as the icon one I got for her Redhoos & Outlaws look. Nightwing always seems to come out great.
Not really the strongest of waves for Mattel. Easy pass on John Stewart and Starfire. Not sure with Beast Boy (too tall) and Wally West (head too big). Might get Nightwing because of that sick head sculpt. Definitely getting the Batman Ninja just because it's Batman! And it will look great with all the other versions of Batman on the shelf. Nonetheless, another solid video review. Keep it up, Brad. PS: I can't wait to see pictures of the coming Killer Croc wave. 😍
All the investment in the wave went into the black lightning, the first season was really good, just can't get down with that silly costume. The best figure of the wave is the most slept on and cheap to pick up and that's beast boy. I airbrushed him with testers dullcoat because shiny figures look cheap and it's a testament to what's possible for mattel(same with their cnc figures). Anyone collects dc figures should go and buy it while people are stupid because you know how it goes, reviewers give bad or lackluster reviews, idiots pass on the figures, then realize you actually dig it and then the price shoots up to astronomical prices.
Ninja Batman is proof Mattel can do better articulation on their figures but instead reuses outdated molds. Batman beyond would have been so much better if they just gave him double jointed elbows and his own accessories.
Jamie Humphrey lets not forget to mention that their past 3-4 cnc figures have been regular sized characters that we could’ve gotten in their own package ...the last big cnc figure we got was clay face smh
Another good wave of figures that no stores will have.
Really dude...WTF
Yea i never even saw the Lobo wave at all
I get mine on Amazon because of that same reason Target sometimes has them but not often.
It's because alot of mainstream people prefer Marvel more cuz their movies are doing better then DC 🙄
Good thing McFarlane came along..
I wish Hasbro could have this line and treat as good as there Marvel legends.
They're pretty much the exact same figures. Makes no difference who made em. Mcfarlane were a much better choice.
@@symbiote1982pk Yeah, this video is the first time I’ve checked out DC from mattel and I’m actually surprised how similar it looks to marvel legends.

Couldn't have said it better. You nailed it.

if only mattel would actually ship these out to stores so we could hunt for them and look at them, either way 150% i'm picking these up
I think its not Mattel not shipping them out. Its stores not ordering maybe. Not selling
Wow, been waiting for this wave for so long, nice to see someone doing a whole wave review. Much obliged man
I’m most excited for Wally West Flash, Starfire, and John Stewart
Was really hoping Mattel would give it their all and go out with a bang. The prototype for Starfire was gorgeous. Instead seem to be going out with the same whimper they been giving all along sadly. More than ready to see what McFarlane has for us.

@@BradTheDCUniverseGeek Who are in the Final wave ?
This whole wave is really solid imo great choices for characters fo sure
So disappointed they changed star fires hair. The solicitation pics had more translucence and orange tips near her bangs.
Great video Brad, love the production value and details like the comic name logos before each characters review.
For a half hour video, you proved that you are the only guy who can do a long review video without making viewers skipping any second, you are a real talent, keep going man that is absolutely fantastic!!!
This is a nice wave....that I'll never find at retail.
Dude your comedy and editing is superb
I want BLACK LIGHTNING!!!
UPDATE: After swearing off buying any more action figures for awhile, I found myself ordering BLACK LIGHTNING from Entertainment Earth. Oh, well... I wants it!

For real. Hopefully Mcfarlane will do better, cause Mattel is just disappointing.

Wrongly scaled. But figures are better in person. No cheap plastic. Its ok. And proportions arent so bad. The principal fail are the scales.
ML are just as bad for all those same points you made. Their buck reuse is ridiculous , the price is way too high for the garbage they give you, they have gummy joints and a lot of figures just look like officially licensed kitbashes. ML are trash, just popular trash.
Man some good figures and decent ones....But I’m only interested in the Build-a-Ninja Batman, Black Lightning, starfire and Night Wing.
*sigh* I can’t wait for Mattel to lose this license. They don’t deserve it.
I agree if hasbro was with dc this could be awesome
@@viktorvaughn8192 Todd McFarlane has the license in 2020, IMAGINE what he can do!
@@vladram9084 even better thanks for telling me
@@vladram9084 I don't know why, but their work with the newer Halo series and destiny worries me. But then again I'm more about poseability
@@Moizsh10 look up "highly possible spawn action figure" shartimus prime does a review on it. Im hoping that's the direction they take DC
That Beast Boy would probably fit in better with the new DC collectibles Essentials line.
Mattel is pulling out ALL the stops this year. Gotta push out as much toys as they can before they can't make any D.C. figures anymore.
I don’t even get to see these waves the last wave of figures I saw was the lex Luther cnc wave and that was back in December that was the last time I saw that wave never again the only new things I’ve seen is the Shazam wave
Me too. Wal-Mart has nothing.
No all I have is Wal-Mart and B.A.M.!
@@MonkeyMaster3 a surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Beast Boy went through puberty.
Starfire looks great
"But.....but but but but but....." 🤣

That Batman Ninja is beautiful. Beast Boy too. Not my scale but very, very tempting.
Aye let’s go the teen Titans, Wally, Nightwing, beast boy and starfire
I’m so glad I collected icons and Essentials instead.
Marco I really liked the Icons line, essentials, not so much.
TheFaintofHearts2113 I cherry pick the line nightwing,batgirl,joker, even Superman came out really nice. They also seem to mix on scale wise a little bit better with other DC collectibles. Take a second look amazon has them on sale off and on. Nightwing was 17$. SOLD!!!
I truly enjoyed your review for this set and completely agree with the sloppy job by Mattel. Now, the hunt begins!!! As always, thanks Brad!
I've never seen these for sale in any store.
Yes I have been waiting for this line to come out for a month and I'm going to like to this video 😁😁😁
My personal favorites are.. Flash wally west, and beast boy
Watching toy reviews at 3 am? Ya no.
Hurts to look at that Icons Nightwing with that missions head...hurts my soul
Hey man, it’s just a matter of taste. I really don’t like the Icons head but the Missions headsculpt I do. It takes all kinds. Cheers.
Starfire's energy attacks are called Starbolts.
Okay, for me, most of these are a must, like I really want any of the titans. Black Lightning, Ninja Batman, and John Stewart, a bit less so, but still pretty nice.
Beast Boy being large is a little odd, but I'll probably have him in a crouching pose, anyhow.
Hasn’t Mattel Lost the DC license?
Speedy Quick I believe they lose it in 2020.
Wally is my favorite speedster
I remember getting a Black Lightning toy when I was a teenager in the 90s Has to be the only time he was wearing a red and black shirt with a collar. I'm surprised you don't have a copy. You've got every DC toy I could imagine.
You should clean up that excess flash on Nightwing's jawline.
That's the plan. After filming I tend to clean the figures up but I leave things as-is for the review so as to be transparent.
Starfire looks the best and really accurate to the comics.
Your vids made encourage me to buy these. I collect legos. Now I'm collecting these too. And I have nightwing
The figures look wayyy too tanned. Like they spent a week sunbathing in Mexico
I'm glad beast boy is so big because he's on the shelf with my essentials figures where he fits in perfectly. He such a step up from the rest of this line.
Your Green Lantern set up is awesome
Pretty surprised to see a BAF Batman. With the countless Batman versions and variants we've seen over the decades, you'd think Mattel wouldn't hesitate to make a Ninja Batman readily available on its own.
YES! I need that starfire!
Despite the quality control issues, I'll defiantly be getting the Wally West Flash for my collection. But I had to repaint the face of the Kid Flash from the previous wave. It was supper messy.
Could these issues be because Mattel doesn't have the DC license any more, so they don't care?
Pffft. Jokes on you bro, the figures dont get to retail, so ha 😎
Sebastion Envi
Amazon: "are you challenging me"
Black lightning looks great and beast boy looks good and starfire looks beautiful . I have those three and they look so cool .
You’re right samurai Batman it is.
Great Batman...I need that
I haven't even seen the lobo wave at my local stores...
lol "Arianna Grande" Starfire.
Well there's a difference between them first off Ariana has power off money and Kori has super powers such as strength and her green solar energy that shoots out her fists and eyes 😁
Thanks for updating about the new DC multiverse collection I do like Black Lighting character & yet I to haven't seen the series also.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 man oh man you're right when those little smudges appear it does alternate the look of a doll I wish they would perfect their brush strokes.🙌🎨🖌️ Will you go back and touch up the imperfections?
They don't use brushes, it's all factory painted.
Nightwing seems rather orange
except for Wally West and Beast Boy, DCUC is still the line to beat among most DC figures...
Starfire's effect parts are starbolts. (I am a big Titans nerd lol)
These are really disappointing. They don’t even go together... the sizes of the heads are all over the place. The paint work is meh
I love all of these characters and I MIGHT get Starfire and I’m a Wally fan so I might get him but despite being a DC fan I will stick to Marvel Legends
I just got the Wally West figure from this wave... I'm super dissapointed that he doesn't come with wrist articulation! Damn you Mattel!
the beast boy Figure is definitely too big. But the Nightwing looks awesome. Great video man 👍
I sold my dcuc starfire for this multiverse version so I hope i get to see her in stores... the scale is bothering but I can make things work with poses...also held of on getting the dcuc beast boy for this multiverse smh...still trying to get this wave I’m a huge titans and teen titans fan
Way too many QC issues for me. I've cancelled my BBTS order based on your video. Thanks, you've saved me some cash!
Thinking of cancelling mine too
Black Lightning may be the first one I buy from this wave.
Nightwing has the crispy trump tan 🍗😁
I dig him
Wow Brad. I'm surprised you're not into the BAF. He looks ok and agree with you he looks more like a samurai lol
These are absolutely sick!!! Can’t wait to get them all (except nighwing, I already have the missions one)
Hope they make a Batman who laughs and red death figure soon or some more rebirth figure like Sideways,God speed or Superman of china or a firefly figure similar to the 2004 Batman animated series
Crap that Ninja Batman figure is good I just want him. I don't want those multiverse figures
making Batman the BAF/CnC is the shittiest decision ever, like seriously??!!
Good set of stuff some messy spots wally i like most, ninja batman is very well done also there called a starbolt.
Still have yet to see the lobo wave hit my stores and you already got this wave! Smh I hope the next dc carrier isn’t as bad as mattel...the only new things I see is that Shazam wave which is totally peg warmers ...sigh I guess I’d have to pay extra I want most of this wave except for the cnc and black lightning, he looks cool but I want a rebirth comic version of him
He looks lika a samurai but acts like a ninja with th e shadows
He does? When? When he's fighting the giant robot made of Japanese castles?
Out of my multiverse figs,I had NO scuffs
I got the Black Lightning just for the COCO part. Again, the DC Direct was the best.
Glad I didn’t preorder these now; most all of them turned out pretty disappointing imo. Nightwing and John Stewart are especially downgrades from the dcuc versions.
I would have to say I disagree with you about Nightwing as far as his facial sculpt. I really prefer this news ones head. If I end up getting a second one I'll be doing a boil and pop. lol

However, last month I saw the Lex Luthor wave at Target......
I love ur vids man their for the whole family keep it up
Darn I want batman ninja.!!!
This and lobo wave are the only ones I'm interested in.
Honestly I love the nightwing fig I do but I so do wish his mask wasn't blue because it looks weird but great fig
The paint apps are garbage on these. I only ordered Starfire glad Mattel is almost gone from DC
The Beast boy and Flash Multiverse heads would fit perfectly with the small figures (DC Universe extra young versions) if they would be smaller ones.
And the Beast boy and Kid flash Universe heads would fit perfectly in the multiverse figures if they would be a little bigger.
Correct?. Or correct?. Yeah. Its correct.
definitely some figs in this wave I was looking forward to. Nightwing looks nice - but I like your custom Nightwing better. Can Starfire look up?
I could see you stealing Ninja Batman's cape and using it for another Batman, hehe.
That though may or may not have occurred to me ;-)
that was an amazing review, thanks man.
FYI hey do pay homage to the comicbook version of black lightning in 2 S1 flashbacks. that starfire .... not as good as the icon one I got for her Redhoos & Outlaws look. Nightwing always seems to come out great.
Not happy that Beast Boy is that y'all, but he's really the only figure I want besides the CNC.
