That was such a shame, Mattel had been making 6" Batmen for almost 20 years by that point and had made some real bangers over the years, so for their last effort to be that bad was so disappointing.
I personally enjoy the 1st appearance Batman. He uses the hush body just modified and the cloth wired cape on that figure is I think the best cape they’ve done. And the head sculpt is really good to because it has the whole neck as part of the sculpt so it looks like an actual cowl and still articulates
The cape issue is not really about where it connects, it's the shape they cut it. It's a triangle instead of a half circle. If you review the adam west, you'll notice the same given that that cape goes around the neck (which usually accurate) but they cut it on a triangle too, hence you can't rest it on the shoulders.
I managed to snag the platinum blue version and yeah, this is my favorite Batman Buck, for comic versions of Batman anyway. I hope to see this base body used more going forward. Swap out the belt, gauntlets and head obviously. Really, really enjoy this figure. Can’t wait to get that page puncher Robin to go with him.
@@AnthonysCustoms He is but I've seen him out and about. These platinums are the easiest to find, dude at a toy show weeks ago had one for under retail
@@AnthonysCustomsas others have said.. yes. It is. I have seen him several times now in my one Walmart.. and it’s a Walmart that often gets nothing. So there’s that. I do think with a Knightfall Batman head, lower arms and diaper tho that this would be the perfect Todd Batman. I did take a dremel to mine tho and removed some plastic in his torso to give him a better forward bend. My main issue now is that black suit Knightfall Batman is stupid hard to find after warming the pegs forever. Maybe I’ll get that bullseye Batman or whatever and paint l/use the parts from that.
It’s funny because the Review where the Mattel Dick Grayson Batman with the stubby ears and the broken torso thrown into the toilet was how I started watching this channel.
The chest is actually a retooled Knightfall chest where they smoothed out the symbol and changed how the cape functions. It was first used on the battle damaged Knightfall Batman from the Bane two-pack. I think the retooled torso looks thicker just due to the fact it doesnt have the bulky plastic cape on his shoulders making him look like the suit is 2 sizes too big on him.
How perfect for McFarlane to finally give us their most athletic-looking, superhero-proportioned Batman figure when tasked to make a toy out of one of the most doughy, "guy in a Batman suit"-looking incarnations of the character from the comics. Granted he's not exactly hulked out like an Ed McGuinness drawing, but still so much closer to a proper comic book super hero physique. I already have a Batman for my display that I'm happy enough with, but this is probably the first "standard"-looking Batman from McF that I'd be interested in tracking down.
My favorite McFarlane Batmen are separated by comic and live action versions. My favorite comic version is either the First Appearance platinum edition or standard Knightfall My favorite live action Batman figure is no question the recent Adam West version, aside from his cape being too long and missing fists, he's perfect
Great review and this one is pretty good. I still like the blue/grey nightfall Batman the most but still think the head is a bit small while this one is a bit too big
It’s pretty good. I really like the hands, personally. I’m passing this cuz I’m hoping they’ll make another Hush Batman with this mold. They got the parts ready for that, literally.
I think they used this base for the Detectice Comics #27 Batman and it's my favorite Batman from McFarlane so far. I love the Old School superhero vibe it brings.
I for one am glad this figure not more slender, because this way he can somewhat dub as a Bruce Wayne Batman as well. Gauntlets and belt aside, this color scheme and overall costume really is representative of "classic Batman" and shouldn't be held hostage by a temporary version of Batman.
My kitbash plans are the Arkham head with the hush pouch belt for this guy. I've seen a couple options for swaps at the forearm, either the black grey knightfall, but the greys are a little off, or hush black and grey, which the colors match really well but you dont get as nice of gloves.
I was pleasantly surprised that the ankles werent the ratcheted spherical nightmares that todd normally implements. Mine still has a weird leg that wont let him stand up straight but I'll boil him. I've been waiting to buy a new batman since being dissapointed in the battinson figure, and I'd say this one has my favorite look.
I'm tempted to swap some parts with the black and gray Knightfall Batman to make this match his look in the Justice League Heroes game/Lego Batman/early 2000s comics. I wish the logo was sculpted though. Also instead of being thrown into the toilet like with the Mattel one, this would gently be placed on a shelf.
Anthony, will you review the Fondjoy BvS Batfleck figure? Apparently, it has really good sculpt and articulation, Mafex-like quality and better screen accuracy.
I took a really long break from dc multiverse figures but this figure is the one that broke that dry spell for me I was pretty disappointed when I saw the cape out of box, BUT overall it’s not bad at all it’s just one of those figures you just have to have in person to really make your option on. Great review Anthony!
Was super on the fence about this guy, have had him in my cart at BBTS and Amazon for a couple months but could just never pull the trigger. Love this run in the comics so much though, and after seeing the Damian he announced this week and your review, gotta finally do it.
Having read Black Mirror where Dick appears as Batman, you are right about the cape: it is constantly above his shoulders including in action drawings. That's the next step. And because he is a Flying Grayson, I would expect him to have the best articulation as possible.
I think the head sculpt nails Quitely's artwork and if I wasn't penny pinching on figures at the moment I would get this and the new Damien Robin as I liked that brief run of comics.
To be fair, couldn't possibly get worse than the Croc wave one from the Mattel days, lol..to think I bought that as my first Batman figure. I returned it shortly after xD
Im wondering if maybe the Fondjoy BVS Batman cape is the same material you’re talking about. I like it and it has wire and its cloth but it feels stiffish to me and I’m wondering also, are we getting a review of that ever?! Also, agreed. This looks like the best Batman body. Buuuut I’m gonna pass cause of the head sculpt and those knuckle dusters. I’ll wait until they refuse this body mold for another one
Yeah this is Dick Grayson, his stories as Batman with Damian are great. The Knightfall figure is pretty alright, but i will say, i really like the head sculpt on the Zur En Arrh Batman
Yes, it's Dick Grayson. And once again Todd makes the blue suit (it looked more blue than black in the comics) the platinum chase version...🤦♂️ It's funny that the logo is painted on the chest cuz we see in this specific comic series that the bat is an armor plate.
I really like 1st appearance and gray and black Knightfall Batman. I also really like the rebirth Batman buck. Especially that blue one from the digital wave
The best Batman they did, was knightfall Batman (regular not battle damaged). I think this figure is mostly knightfall bats with some new parts. I really hope they do a year 2 Batman on this body. I think that could be pretty cool.
If we're talking about the Batman universe? Batgirl (Cassandra Cain). Too much fun. If we're talking Batmen? I enjoy the Batman Jace Fox. I just don't enjoy any of the Bruce's released yet. This one feels like the best Batman.
Anthony, I dunno if you like My Hero Academia, but the Jazwares Izuku figure is actually pretty damn good considering it's only 20 bucks. His joints are a bit tighter than I'd like them to be, but he's still solid. I mean compared to what you get from your basic Marvel Legends it's a pretty stark difference.
I still prefer Knightfall Batman ( both blue and black variants) as the best McFarlane Batman figure to date. But this Grayson Batman is good too for a modern Batman.
there is not a single batman figure that allows the cap to flow forward, i think only the HT 89 batman because the cape is conected on the front from the original design.
After 5 million various releases across the “Multiverse” line it’s crazy that this is the first and only Batman figure so far. You’d think they would’ve done more.
I don't disagree with your assessment I just don't see how this gets a better rating than thr knightfall version since it's 80% the same parts and you like the Knightgall head better as do I. It seems like the only reason you like this better is because of the new chest. Is it because it doesn't have the chest suit wrinkle? I wish everyone would use the Neca Universal Monsters Bella LagoDracula capes material. It draped well and had heft.
Am i the only one that is waiting on this figure? I pre ordered the bundle with the 66 batman and fusion batman from mcfarlane toys store and still hasn't shipped even though two of them are available on bbts and they where in stock on Walmarts website last week and are now sold out. I pre ordered right when they went up within 5 min and am still waiting im getting really impatient
It's like they made this Batman based on Anthony's reviews, even the ear bumps on the cowl, which is also my gripe with these figures. Battinson looked so ridiculous on promo shots, hopefully they'll fix that.
What is with this no forward crunch epidemic?! Don’t they just have to remove some plastic in the front of the ball joint to give it more range? That costs nothing smh
I like the well not to sound weird where the thigh and trunks are it actually looks an actual person there where it's not comically big or small like one that comes to mind that's remotely close, i would think. That one would be the MAFEX wolverine and it's not that great compared to this one. That's pretty good for what Todd did there.
No Batman can be called good with those knees. I don't like that headsculpt, but then again I don't like the source head, I think it's pretty accurate.
It look like Batman in the animated movies (Son of batman) only the belt has bat symbol ,in the movie it is circle..but the head and bat symbol is exactly the same In my opinion it super as Standard Batman Figure "
That head is not good. I can see how they're _trying_ to replicate Frank Quitely's artwork (especially with the eyes), but even then... why isn't he smiling? He's smiling in the artwork and it was even a plot point that Dick Grayson smiled as Batman. So, yeah, really no defending that head.
Big fan of this figure but there’s a lot of weird design flaws that I despise, like how fat his hands are on the claw hands is laughable, the cape being so good yet so bad, the boots being so big. but other than that I think it’s probably the best batman mcfarlane has made by far
if only mcfarlane put more effort into figures like this one, but come on that will never happen. Every good figure he makes 7 mediocre figures come out. It's as if he does it on purpose
Constant source of frustration to me that the figure cannot replicate what’s on the card, as it’s supposedly the source material. I like the Detective Comics Batman a lot. You could mod the figure slightly for more ab crunch. I get more out of figures I can mod and improve with a bit of paint or a wash.
i don't like the headsculpt the Dickhead looks by far the worst thing ever and this is giving me the mattel "dick" vibes however for the ones out there that don't know this is not bruce Wayne but Dick Grayson and you can tell me "are you crazy? why is he looking so old? yeah....i wanna know why this mcfarlane sculptor sculpted this old Dick i mean...he must really like it. personally i think you should make 2 votes one for he label and one for the general like an overall stuff like how is this holding up against the rest of the stuff that has the same price? i'd argue that the despite few upgrades that might look cool this figure doesn't deserve a 9 or 8 but rather a 6.5 - the ugly head - the fact that cannot lean forward - the fact that can't keep even at 90 degrees - the fact that he doesn't have any leg swivel - bad accessories - bad ankles - bad accuracy yeah too many defects for me to be a 9 or 8 i have to say that doesn't look awful but i wouldn't say that looks good either and he doesn't even pose that well "more than acceptable but not quite good" for me the good things are there but they have to be that tiny bit better to fully work and be actually GOOD or even excellent it doesn't really take much for mcfarlane to do such i have to still ask them why they went so downhill since the fortnite line and the mk11 spawn i cannot believe that after years that is still (arguably) the peak of the line
Redemption for that last Mattel Dick Grayson Batman (Anthony's best review video where he kept throwing it in the toilet 😂)
Iconic, and the thumbnail saying just Dick while the fogure was aaa.... floppy in the ab crunch.
That one was awful. Crumbled in my hands.
LOL now I have to look that up
@@Shinmslme too 😂
That sounds like some pure quality content 🤣
Your original review of the Dick Grayson Batman run way back in the day is still my favourite review from you. Cheers.
That was the best Batman ever released
@@AnthonysCustomsBlink twice if Mattel is holding you hostage.
That was such a shame, Mattel had been making 6" Batmen for almost 20 years by that point and had made some real bangers over the years, so for their last effort to be that bad was so disappointing.
I honestly don't understand why we don't get smiling headsculpts. Superman desperately needs one. This one would've benefited with at least a smirk
There actually is a newer Superman figure with a very cheerful head sculpt that's just a happy smiling Superman so you're in luck.
because they are too cheap to add extra accessories
@@braydenpage1808 Really? What's its name?

@@BB-ed4om I personally don’t think so and you can drape it over his shoulders for that look Anthony was talking about in the video
I like the cape and nothing else on that figure. He's way too tall
My favorite comic Batman for sure, especially the platinum version with the blue highlights. Stunning
Nah the one that Cassandra Cain has is the best. It has the best material, it drapes the best, and it has the strongest wires
The cape issue is not really about where it connects, it's the shape they cut it. It's a triangle instead of a half circle.

I had heard that this was a good release, but you just sold me. Clicking the description below!

If there is one Batman Action Figure I can pick up from Mcfarlane Toys it is most definitely this one.😊
After 5 million various releases across the “Multiverse” line it’s crazy that this is the first and only Batman figure so far. You’d think they would’ve done more.
Have you seen the platinum variant? I think it looks best in the blue color but obviously that's a preference.

This one is by far the best
The face looks more Greg Capullo than Frank Quitely.

It's definitely a choice
The sickness of most Toddfather figures :p
Mcfarlane boys are truly sth to behold.
Definitely not bad for a Toddfather Batman. For me, though, the MAFEX Hush version is the only one I'll ever need.
If it's based on the art behind the pack, This one is supposed to be Dick Grayson's Batman, that's why it's slimmer than others.
Hopefully we get a Superman from Mcfarlane with a Cloth Cape.
Planning on making a year one batman using the hazmat batman belt, knightfall head buck and head, new cape and custom logo
I like the well not to sound weird where the thigh and trunks are it actually looks an actual person there where it's not comically big or small like one that comes to mind that's remotely close, i would think. That one would be the MAFEX wolverine and it's not that great compared to this one. That's pretty good for what Todd did there.
1:00 you wanna show us your what? 😳
His package...
Since this figure is mostly reuse of the Knightfall Batman body, how are his proportions so much better then the "too skinny" Knightfall Batman?
It's a difference chest and a different character
No Batman can be called good with those knees. I don't like that headsculpt, but then again I don't like the source head, I think it's pretty accurate.
Were you gonna review the 7-inch Adam West Batman from McFarlane?
Not likely
you should do a list of your favourite batman figures, or your favorite mcfarlane batmans. Im def getting this batman
It look like Batman in the animated movies (Son of batman) only the belt has bat symbol ,in the movie it is circle..but the head and bat symbol is exactly the same
In my opinion it super as Standard Batman Figure "
great review dude!
The head sculpt looks like a combination of resignation and suspicious
I like the Batman from the spawn and batman 2 pack😂 I like the silver on the knuckles.
you're crazy, they nailed Frank Quitely style.
Dick Grayson was Batman in the Batman Reborn storyline.
What would you recommend to use for trimming the diaper a bit? I may do that for some figures
I'm definitely not recommending it but if i was to do it, i would use an xacto knife.
The wire on the right side of the cape is broken. Do anyone know how to fix it because i can't afford another one right now
Damn this is actually nice
That head is not good. I can see how they're _trying_ to replicate Frank Quitely's artwork (especially with the eyes), but even then... why isn't he smiling? He's smiling in the artwork and it was even a plot point that Dick Grayson smiled as Batman. So, yeah, really no defending that head.
idk how they still haven't worked out a better torso and ankle set up.
It only took about 50 Batman figures for them to make a good one.
Have you seen the mafez hush batman cape? It's in the front and looks like crap
That cape is gigantic but being in front isn't the problem
Big fan of this figure but there’s a lot of weird design flaws that I despise, like how fat his hands are on the claw hands is laughable, the cape being so good yet so bad, the boots being so big. but other than that I think it’s probably the best batman mcfarlane has made by far
no cake rating?
Got distracted by it being an unexpectedly decent release
His face looks like his dentures have shifted.
The aesthetic imo gives off the JL doom
why do his elbows look like a mechanized armor or machine?..... was there gears with sculpted cogs??..?.. 🧐
Those are necessary for the joints but they didn't usually show like this
@@AnthonysCustoms ? Hasbro doesn't have them....🤔
First time I hear you Happy bro 😂
Maybe you should adjust what you're watching reviews of.
Convinced they hate ab crunches on they’re figures
Batman would not like you to use two-face tape!
Where's the cake rating?
Hey his torso didn't snap right out of the box loll
Barbie scale figs are the future
if only mcfarlane put more effort into figures like this one, but come on that will never happen. Every good figure he makes 7 mediocre figures come out. It's as if he does it on purpose
The eyes ruin it for me.
Constant source of frustration to me that the figure cannot replicate what’s on the card, as it’s supposedly the source material.
I like the Detective Comics Batman a lot.
You could mod the figure slightly for more ab crunch. I get more out of figures I can mod and improve with a bit of paint or a wash.
how did Todd manage to drop the bar so low that THIS is considered the best?
i don't like the headsculpt the Dickhead looks by far the worst thing ever and this is giving me the mattel "dick" vibes however for the ones out there that don't know this is not bruce Wayne but Dick Grayson and you can tell me "are you crazy? why is he looking so old? yeah....i wanna know why this mcfarlane sculptor sculpted this old Dick i mean...he must really like it.
personally i think you should make 2 votes one for he label and one for the general like an overall stuff like how is this holding up against the rest of the stuff that has the same price? i'd argue that the despite few upgrades that might look cool this figure doesn't deserve a 9 or 8 but rather a 6.5
- the ugly head
- the fact that cannot lean forward
- the fact that can't keep even at 90 degrees
- the fact that he doesn't have any leg swivel
- bad accessories
- bad ankles
- bad accuracy
yeah too many defects for me to be a 9 or 8 i have to say that doesn't look awful but i wouldn't say that looks good either and he doesn't even pose that well "more than acceptable but not quite good" for me the good things are there but they have to be that tiny bit better to fully work and be actually GOOD or even excellent it doesn't really take much for mcfarlane to do such i have to still ask them why they went so downhill since the fortnite line and the mk11 spawn
i cannot believe that after years that is still (arguably) the peak of the line
The audacity when you get a free figure
