KNIGHTFALL NIGHTWING AND NEW POINTS SYSTEM! McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Action Figure Review

[@JBTMR]

Really like the new grading system, I agree with everything you said about the figure and my video is doing really well. Thanks for your help brother!

[@Devitciiu]

New system is good. I think you were generous with the figure.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Probably! But I am getting the hang of my new system. In hindsight I think I would have given him 2/5 for Presentation

[@refugiobanda7227]

4/5 makes the review seem much more positive than what it teally seemed to be. Just my opinion. It is the first review under it. So we'll see how it continues. You are still awesome.

[@Dragondude2525]

Love that you’re updating your rubric! It was a great starting point but this will definitely help you in the long run when it comes to better reviewing these figures

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Agreed! Been wanting to do this for months. Figured the start of Year 4 was a good opportunity

[@xaayer]

The blue and the weird paint gives me 90s toy vibes

[@thenotsoamazingchannel3879]

[@idontexistfam]

Love the new grading system, and honestly you could’ve been harsher if you’d wanted to. I’d still consider picking him up.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks! I am pretty happy with the wiggle room it gives me

[@theguardian3431]

I love the change to the grading system. It does add more nuance.

[@dustygriffin6839]

I never miss an episode, I like the new grading system, need to see it in action a couple more times. Seems to make a lot of sense though.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@nocturnaldreamzz]

I actually almost panicked when I saw that you uploaded a video and I WASNT EVEN AWAKE!! All jokes aside, I really do like that grading system. I used to be able to predict the score you would give a figure basing it off of what I see but now that’s gonna be pretty hard. It’s pretty cool that you’re switching it up. Also, love the new intro!! I might actually get this figure. It would’ve been better if they painted the rotator cuff but that probably would’ve led to some problems like them not lining up. But that ponytail, yes! I wanna see him with some other long haired characters (ones we didn’t see in the video) like Superman from the krypto “two pack.” Stealth iron man is rockin the mullet. I noticed you changed your channel icon! Love it. I’ve always wondered if you’re actually being held hostage by stealth iron man and that’s why he’s in your reviews.🤣 great review! Keep it up.

[@AgentQuacc]

I love this Nightwing suit but I feel that the figure was executed poorly. I really like the new points system, sounds like a great idea! I was sort of worried about a drastic change but this still fits the brand and sounds like a great way to compare figures with a more precise scoring system

[@thenostalgiabusiness]

The painted on emblem looks so cheap. I remember during the early DC Multiverse days, Shartimus interviewed Todd and praised him for how he never reused molds. My, how times have changed…

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah. Like I said, I really wonder if we would ever have gotten some of those early DC Multiverse if we had to get them now

[@mar-z6l]

Nice Review as always! i like that there is a wind of change in the channel, not that it was needed, in my opinion you created the perfect review formula! Anyway i hope that this wind of change will bring some vlogs, dioramas show off, and collection videos.

Digging the new system 4/5 is better than I thought it would be I will miss the original scoring but this is fresh

[@theguardian3431]

Love your videos, man!

[@Reach008]

If we’re getting 90’s Nightwing figures, I really need a 90’s blue and black suit he gets in his own run. I made a custom with the BTB Nightwing with John Stewart arms, but a part of me whants to see how McFarlane would pull it off. But that’s me hoping they give him a new dedicated sculpt…

[@5POAFigureReviews]

By my count, Nightwing is the fourth most produced character in DC Multiverse after Batman, Superman, the Joker, and Wonder Woman. Todd seems to really like him, so I expect we will ultimately have every conceivable version of him.

[@nodriptom]

Figure is alright, but i dig the new rating system though 😎

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks!

[@FanaticMitchell1]

8:15 you forgot to include Rogue in there as a mullet sister

I was waiting for you to comment lol don't worry. I haven't forgotten. I have a plan for that one.

[@FanaticMitchell1]

@@5POAFigureReviews Cool

[@Ntron475]

Aside from a few nitpicks I really dig this figure. I'm excited as a Nightwing fan to see one of his lesser known looks get some love. I'm really hoping for a 1st appearance or Disco Nightwing figure.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I'm hoping for every Nightwing look eventually

[@Dragondude2525]

I usually wait to see a figure myself in hand before I make my judgements on it, as I prefer to experience it before taking another’s opinions as fact… but with your grading scheme and detailed analysis I trust your opinion in your reviews.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that;

[@Dragondude2525]

@@5POAFigureReviews yeah tbh I’m over all the people who nitpick over 1 detail and call something the worst thing in all over existence because of it. No more hyperbole.

[@drelemar3524]

I really enjoyed your old grading system why because as a collector the money and time we spend purchasing figures and trying to find the best figure for the price should be critical, where it needs to be critical and complementary where it needs to be complementary

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you for the feedback! I'm still me of course, and I am a pretty positive guy. If everything works correctly, this new system will just help me have a bit more wiggle room to give a more accurate grade. But let's see how it goes!

[@CRIS_IS_ON_INFINITE_EARTHS]

I was worried when you said the five point system was gonna change and that it would be more lenient now but your points of criticism are all still right on the money, thank you Jason once again for having such well thought out and fair reviews!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@meganlamel7163]

Rigamarole done ✅ 5/5 channel

[@richardhunt6310]

New rating works great and ur right on point with ur assessment, I just got mine today and I'm slightly disappointed with it. The disk should have been a separate piece just like it was shown in the product shots, his trunks r displaced allowing his inner thigh parts to be seen more than normal ( same problem I have with the gotham knights batgirl ) he needs a bo staff and I believe they could have used the rebirth Tim drake body for this figure as a base.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

As tiny and as easy to lose as it would have been, I'm okay with the combo hand but it would have been nice to have had a loose one as well

[@BartmanBrooklyn]

Corners they cut really did do this figure and that fantastic unpainted facial complexion (finally) an injustice.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Agreed!

[@BartmanBrooklyn]

My biggest gripe about McFarlane figures seems to be finally and hopefully going away. More and figures he's making with the facial complexionunpainted. I just snagged this NightWing for $15 at my GameStop. Going back for Starfire next. That Aquaman is also on my list. Huge fan of 1980 George Perez's Teen Titans run.

[@bagginsfrodos]

As always, spectacular content. New grading system is really nice, not that the old one wasn't 😂. I'm wondering if the pony tail is sculpted to the head or plugged in, either way, it seems like a simple job to get rid of it.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks for the feedback! Head and ponytail are one solid piece.

[@MardonNaLou]

I like the new system. It can go into more detail to better reflect the value of the figure. I think everything said about Knightfall Nightwing was very fair. Personally I'm skipping this figure as it's not my favorite look for Mr Grayson and when it comes to McFarlane toys, I kind of have to be choosy these days.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely aiming to be choosier this year as well

[@Tebigong101]

At this point, the only thing that McFarlane has going for is that he’s actually putting out the characters we want, eventually though that’s going to not be enough. Especially with prices going up the thrill of getting a complete team that doesn’t match up and is cheap reuse is going to burn up all that Goodwill he had from keeping his price low during the pandemic and keeping the display window.

[@j0hn117uch1ha]

The grading system seems pretty great to be honest. I feel it gives more wiggle room to determine how it compares to other figures from now on, especially mcfarlane and legends. The reuse isn't a problem but when the reuse is not used adequately it creates big problems for consumers and the companies manufacturing these figs. One loses while the other goes down in quality.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Exactly. I will be discussing this reuse thing more extensively in my 25k special. Hoo boy it's gonna be a big one.

[@BATMAN-ze2xe]

The Toddfather did it again, selling a prototype full price, what a hard pass. Reducing the fraction, meaning, dividing the final score of the new grading system 20/25 by 5 to get a final score like the old grading system with 4/5 is definitely an irritating move. But your math aside Jason, this is a 1/5 prototype-like figure, a 2/5 at best! You are giving a detailed and extremely funny inside of the figures i don't wanna miss, but the math of yours, you adorable little geek, is generously miscalculated! But who cares, everybody is doing his own math, right? Exited for the next episode of the 5POA "math class" (wink, wink)!

[@mondayadams8166]

Eh they could have painted the boots to match the sculpt and that's where you were the harshest soooo. I agree with your assessment Also the grading system doesn't exactly involve me I'm just here for opinions and to support creators!! It's good tho great job ^_^

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks! All in an effort to be as thorough and considered as I can be

[@eterniastoys]

Wonder why they didn’t use the Black Lightning figure as a base? Seemed like that would have worked better.

[@dahhmlife]

This looks horrible. Just canceled my pre-order. Thanks.

[@MrYale007]

Same.

[@dahhmlife]

I don't mind the re-use, but if you're recycling parts the execution on the rest should be immaculate. It just looks sloppy and shabby.

[@glennjthompson332]

Can't buy it!😝 But it needs work in the comics for this figure!🤔

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Hey that's what it's all about. Helping others make the best purchasing choices for their collection. And sometimes that means showing you that you really don't want something.

[@BertRamDam]

Same also. I appreciate the review. All the flaws helped me realize that they drastically missed the mark on this one.

[@randomsupergodzillalizardd9981]

Hey, can you give me some tips on how to make my McFarlane Toys Killer Croc pick up my McFarlane designed Batman by the face without using two hands or pinning him against a wall?

[@MrYale007]

i like the new grading system. but if the max a figure can get is 25, how is the final score 4 out of 5? And that seems high for this figure. Also i am shocked how sloppy the paint job is across the board on this figure.

[@BATMAN-ze2xe]

Answer: By reducing the fraction! Dividing the final score of the new grading system 20/25 by 5 results in that final score like the old grading system with 4/5! It's an irritating move for sure, but Jasons math aside, this is a 1/5 prototype-like figure, a 2/5 at best.

[@MrYale007]

@@BATMAN-ze2xe Thanks! Agree on the 2/5. this figure is shockingly sloppy AND lazy. added bummer, since all the knight fall figures have been new sculpts, i believe.

@@MrYale007 Hopefully not a trend!

[@hammbone8184]

I love your reviews! This figure is another mcfarlane Toys regurgitated 🐕💩 I'm getting really jaded collecting the DC Multiverse line. Todd n Co are Hasbro'ing better than hasbro. And also to add the figures in DC Multiverse line for the most part don't look like they are all from the same line. At least with hasbro you can tell they are all legends.

[@danishfarooq89]

Can this Nightwing match and scale with Hush Batman ?

[@CouchCit]

Did you repaint the green parts on your DC Universe Robin? Because yours looks accurate while mines looks like 5x brighter

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Not repaints on my end. Must be my lightning/color grading?

[@LochNessHamster]

When this line started it really felt like the answer to Marvel Legends. Where Hasbro would reuse the same blank bodies ad nauseam with different deco, and the sculpts tended to be under detailed and stocky, McFarlane figures would have original sculpts packed with detail for almost every release (though admittedly at the cost of some paint), and were more lithe and agile looking. Now, it's like DC Multiverse line is a bad parody of Marvel Legends. The line had its own problems from the beginning, and has done little to address those problems while also regressing into the same practices and poor product quality that Hasbro offers (or often even lesser quality). That combined with the manipulative marketing tactics and NFTs is really damning. It's so sad to see this from the same company that made Spawn and Movie Maniacs. I've adamantly defended this line for years, but this last year has broken me. Todd, or whoever is actually making these decisions, clearly does not care anymore.

[@BATMAN-ze2xe]

Yep, it's disheartening!

[@luiscarlosalarconsaa9110]

You don't know the laugh what the Bane figure said about the long hair thing in the 90's XD. I don't know though... I think your previous scoring system was better.
