I feel like Jason and Dick should switch expressions. Nightwing is the happy and more playful one of the bat family. I mean even the box art has him upside down smiling.
I agree with you. Batman should be in his blue underoos. The angry head sculpts for Dick and Damien make me think of an alternate universe where the Bat Family is a little more vicious toward criminals. Great review.
I actually switched Jason Todd's head over to the Nightwing body and gave Red Hood his cracked helmet. That's how I have mine displayed right now. Jason's head really does look great as Nightwing, tbh. Very 90s comic style (with the black mask). I bagged the grimacing one for now. I think if I painted his mask a metallic red, it would look perfect on Red Hood, since he's mostly an angry like character. 🙃 I too wished Batman's trunks were painted blue. I might airbrush it on myself later. It just feels off being so much grey there.
Finally got this box set. Gotta say the new knightfall batman goes with the set well. Nightwing, the Jason Todd head looks well on it if you're just using the red hood helmet
hello Asoka, great box set, not sure if a want to spend 100.00 on repaints of figures I already have but they do look great. the classic look on Batgirl is great, the blue on the Batman is right on the spot, I agreed with you, as soon as a saw the promo pictures I thought he needed blue underpants. I did paint my regular 3 jokers Batman under pants black and it was an instant update. will be hard to match that blue. I will probably will get this when it gets discounted for the holidays, wouldn't mind paying about 65.00 for it. great box set, great video.
Saw that the set was gone from Amazon, but is back up currently. Put my order in. Can't wait. Thanks for the review, I wish we would have gotten more of a Orphan/Black Bat figure as that would have given us the official Children of Batman.
This was an instant buy for me! I LOVE the new Damian headsculpt because the others were just too cartoony for me. It's definitely nice to have passed on most of the other figures to finally get this set.
Very cool set, but Nightwing's face...Oy! Swap it from another figure. Love Damian's details of his costume is really ornate. Is the Batman from thev3 jokers is a good choice. Jason Todd is really nicely sculpted. Good video. Thanks!
McFarlane could’ve switched head expressions between nightwing and red hood, nightwing looks out of place with the angry headsculpt.. love the set BTW 🦇
Thanks for the review! Shame you didn't do a head swap with the masked Jason Todd head and the broken helmet in the vid, was really curious to see how it looked!
Great review thanks for sharing I honestly just want the red hood, Todd mcfarlane has been spoiling me with all of these red hood figures till this day haven't I haven't missed out LoL 😉
We desperately need a new nightwing based on his current comic run. I had to do a custom and switch the arms with a John Stewart but I’d love to see McFarlanes take on the new suit
@@ReeceHoward06 I have made my own from the prior release...I may just do touchups and cape replacements...very minor details..I think the front of the box needs an open window....
@@InkDropCustoms I've seen some of those, they're awesome! Im thinking of picking this up for the sake of doing a Jason Todd custom like yours. Im going to wait and see if they release an official JT Robin, as I would assume that's coming soon.
Batgirl is the only draw to me for this set. Love the classic colors. Like Batman but, like you, wish he would’ve gotten blue trunks. Longer bat-ears would’ve looked better with classic colors. Really don’t like Nightwing’s expression. Damien Robin and Red Hood are past my time so have no interest in them at all. I’ll have to pass on this set, not worth it to me just for Batgirl. If Batman had blue trunks, then I think I would’ve caved and bought the set. 🙂
HASBRO GETS SO MUCH SHIT FOR REPAINTS, PINS, PAINT SLOP AND THIS IS A 100$ PACK OF REPAINTS THE DOUBLE STANDARD FROM THE “TOY COMMUNITY” IS SO HYPOCRITICAL.
I dont know if you are a hasbro fan or you just dont get the point why they get so much hate. First of all, they reuse/repaint A LOT of molds, like they are still using body molds that are 8 years old or even older. Second, they are increasing in price like crazy but you still get the same reused body mold and other parts. Can you imagine paying 35$ for a repainted figure?? So let's apply that in this case you are calling "double standards". This pack cost $100 for 5 figures that has a few different/new head sculpts not to mention in 7" scale(which means more plastic to manufacture compared to hasbro figs that are 6"). Another thing, this is probably the 2nd or 3rd time time they are reusing, repainting the same mold. So im sure hasbro deserves the shit they are recieving. P.s. I also collect marvel legends, but I really think they are doing a shtty job.
Mcfarlane is one of the worse toy companies ever that I encountered, when I collected DC figures after DC direct shut down. Truth be told Mcfarlane ruined the love that I had for DC with the amount of Batman repaints and lack of female characters being produced.
@@chickenpit9991 Not only that, but these are repaints of the SAME character! Not at all as bad as using these molds for new characters over and over like Hasbro does. Can't believe this guy tried to pull a double standard card, when these are clearly variants of previously released figures.lol Hasbro sure has a hold on the toy community don't they?
@@ReeceHoward06 they surely do, it's like a cult following. That's the best way to describe it, they are variants. In fact there is a toy reviewer (forgot the name of the channel) who did a video about how often hasbro has been reusing their molds, he called it the "winter soldier mold" since that's the first character they used that mold for. In that video, he listed all the characters with that same body mold, starting from 2008 up to the time the video was created.
@@dvw7665 They surely have a lot of batman figures, yet they are very different from each other. The only time they look very similar is if they are from the same storyline/media like the Arkham batman figures, you could say that they all look alike but it is justifiable since they are from the game series. But if you compare batman rebirt, 3 jokers, tdkr, etc you cant deny the fact they are unique from each other. I bet you can still identify each figure even if you are blindfolded.
That Jason Todd headsculpt is perfection! That's straight up comic book art in real life.
Right!
The art on the back of the box is amazing, great portraits of every character.
I feel like Jason and Dick should switch expressions. Nightwing is the happy and more playful one of the bat family. I mean even the box art has him upside down smiling.
Check out my Instagram, I did a head swap 😀
I'm gonna wait for the pack to go down in price but the only figure I don't want from it is Nightwing. Love how the rest of these guys look!
I am sure it will come down in price!
Hoping it gets dow. To 40
@@AsokatheGeek can you predict around what time will it be cheaper?
It was just 80 on amazon i think bumped up to 90 though
@@clarkisbatman287 yeah I should have but when it was 80

That head swap makes a lot of sense!
Head swap and repaint night wings head sculpt black so jason has the grin

Great set..it’s cool McFarlane is doing the box set like DC Direct used to do…
I love this set!
That batgirl is perfect
Thanks Asoka for another cool review!💥 It's always fun hanging out! I wish they would've fixed the Bat girls side eye

Excellent points my friend! It is a big price point if you have all of these figures!

Thank you for the in hand look at this set , excellent review as always brother!!
Thank you friend!!!
Lol you got these quick.
I'm a sucker for blue and gray Batmans, I just don't if I wanna pay for a 5-pack.
I am sure it will go cheaper on Amazon!
This was an instant buy for me! I LOVE the new Damian headsculpt because the others were just too cartoony for me. It's definitely nice to have passed on most of the other figures to finally get this set.

I’m pretty sure there is gonna be a similar pack to this for the gotham knights game but instead of damian it’s Tim
McFarlane could’ve switched head expressions between nightwing and red hood, nightwing looks out of place with the angry headsculpt.. love the set BTW 🦇
Thanks
You are welcome!
Thanks for the review! Shame you didn't do a head swap with the masked Jason Todd head and the broken helmet in the vid, was really curious to see how it looked!
Check out my Instagram sir I did a picture there 😀
can't wait for these to show up. mines is supposed to be here Wednesday.
Nice dude!!
Great review. These headsculpt are bizarre (why is Dick so angry?) and it’s crazy that Tim isn’t included instead of Batman (who everyone has by now).
Yeahhh not sure why Dick is so angry lol
Because bruce was angry at him, for not going overboard in combat.🤔
Yeah I think that nightwing head sculpt would be better for red hood
think buy batman action figure
Can you tell me which one best
articulation for batman action figure
Thanks keep the good work
Great review thanks for sharing I honestly just want the red hood, Todd mcfarlane has been spoiling me with all of these red hood figures till this day haven't I haven't missed out LoL 😉
I’m thinking of just painting Batmans trousers blue my self cause I also feel the same way. Idk should I do it?
Of course you can do it, I did it on my batman but on the original one with the black cowl and it looks great on my collection.
Go for it 😀
I agree, Batman's trunks should be blue.
Love the classic Batgirl. Late 70s. Most of the 80s. I think the look comes from.
We desperately need a new nightwing based on his current comic run. I had to do a custom and switch the arms with a John Stewart but I’d love to see McFarlanes take on the new suit
Truth
Now 64 bucks on Amazon
just ordered mine... can't wait! look really good, although I do have the originals ... and my customs
Are you going to use these for any customs?
@@ReeceHoward06 I have made my own from the prior release...I may just do touchups and cape replacements...very minor details..I think the front of the box needs an open window....

Does the head swap on the Red Hood? The cracked helmet, that is...
When did this go on sale? Also, what is the best place to track what is being released and when?
It went on sale Thursday! Follow toyshiz on Instagram for info on releases 😀
I want a Denise O'Neil nightwing so bad with a updated body with a son of batman damien

I'm all for this variants 5 pack and I absolutely hate variants but these are all 100% acceptable!
If only McFarlane used this blue on Azrael batman!
Where’s Tim drake?
Wasn’t in the set
Head swap the unmasked Jason head with the nightwing head
And why did they not put redrobin in the set
