McFarlane has been reusing parts for a while now. Both Legends and McFarlane share that issue.

[@mbmstudios9768]

Yeah man, that’s what I was saying. This is nothing new lol. They’ve been reusing parts for a while and it’s pretty obvious.

[@myusernameis_pasword6860]

@@mbmstudios9768 I think the worst example is literally every single Superman figure and how they all use the same big hand and the same lame sculpt for the body 😮‍💨

[@yitterskitter5223]

Only difference is marvel legends reuses bodies that look human. Not this Frankenstein lookin shit from McFarlane. I’m not hasbro defender, but man, has todd ever seen a human?

[@myusernameis_pasword6860]

@@yitterskitter5223 agreed. Honestly, the only reason people give money to McFarland and Legends is because imports are too expensive 😂

[@ronsmodreviews5274]

I have 0 issues with kitbash releases if it makes sense. Rerelease and updated paint aps. Fine. Gives collectors a chance to get xyz. Maybe a reason to buy xyz if og wasnt up to scratch. Basic army builder. Bucky cap buck fine, new belt peice head/heads. Not ideal but eh. Its a money printer like a clone ie hydra sheield etc the buck costs nothing now so may as well milk that cow dryer and put money in a totally new figure New batman version. Needs total new tooling. Superman probably new figure. Maybe new head and cape and diaper. To me supermen all look the same. Not a fan of superman. Id buy one to complete a set, but not something id buy every release of and itd have to be specific to a thing Joker again redesign, penguin same. If riddler. Depends on version. Jim carey. Spandex suit, retool where aplicable. Catwoman retool Not everything can be bespoke. But ideally everything that can be bespoke should be. And any reuse should be because its a variant update reissue or the parts fit the design of an existing character

[@pangalanapilyedo3225]

Never had McFarlane Spawn but that Spawn looks good specially the cape

[@bru_pizi]

McFarlane definitely reuses quite a bit of parts but I have them credit for at least trying to make it look different and come up with unique styles and characters unlike what’s going on with marvel legends the last few years.

[@Obistopmotions]

Well it doesn’t look good

[@dr_kopic]

The spawn is cool but klassic spawn from the mortal kombat line is much better

[@BubbleBum4082]

Is that not just the Thomas Wayne Batman cape?

[@sadistich0rr0r99]

Happily bought it within seconds of it being available. Parts reuse is expected and required to make money to make actual new figures. If this worries anyone stop buying all figures ever made from any company.

[@cngotham4111]

Or just buy the good high price figures lol.

[@matchesmalone9266]

Thats a brand new head sculpt bro, but i feel you. More stoked for the spawn.

[@llllshadowllll]

This is based on the 90s Batman x Spawn crossover that's why Batman has this weird look. I think it suits this pack pretty well.

[@BadAssXerx3]

I'm excited for it, looks weird but not that bad and the reused Throne Spawn with sword is amazing

[@thestarkknightreturns]

I'm getting this one because it's the closest we've been to a Troika Batsuit, which is one of my favorite Batsuits.

[@Jason-Brabant87]

Not gonna lie, this actually looks amazing.

[@vilebasterd5729]

No

[@charliegwinn8793]

Yea maybe reusing parts is not that bad after all

[@ubanman]

At least McFarlane has different sculpt options to reuse. Comparing to marvel legends that pretty much use the same buck and just re-paint them. It's 2 different ways to make money on the mould that they paid for.

[@FrankW1029]

spawn looks sick though. i wish he would license it out to SHF or MAFEX to make the Spawn in 1/12 scale.

[@the_marvelous_one]

The spawn is the highlight and the batman doesn't look bar except for the open moth but the two pack looks very good

[@enriquenieves7775]

batman face looks like he constipated

[@intrvrtkev]

Also that spike on his glove is not painted well for some reason, that cape looks like its Flashpoint or Black Lantern Bats reuse as well.

[@brucelaborin2124]

The sheer fact that he keeps releasing "EXCLUSIVES" like the Batman 1989 with Batmobile 2-pack, and the recently revealed Batman Film 6-pack BOTH on Amazon as EXCLUSIVES, and the F@#!ING SCALPERS BOUGHT ALL OF IT DUE TO NO QUANTITY LIMIT, leaving the REST OF US out of pre-orders, shows his LAZINESS. F@#! YOU TODD!!!!!!!

[@chadjustice8560]

The 6 pack wasn't a Amazon exclusive. It could also be ordered on McFarlane toy store but why give todd all the blame? Have to blame the retailers also.

[@Spider-knight616]

That looks like the flashpoint bat cape

[@Guy-mx4fb]

That spawn looks great, has that one been released yet so i can avoid the two pack

[@WiGgYof09]

This is far from the first time they have reused molds in this line.

[@idiot_city5444]

One of the best Spawns they've made in recent times lol. The Batman is sick too, you don't know what you're talking about

[@bladerj]

well batman is the same so if the suit is similar enough to pull,why not ??....with legends its literally a coat of paint change. ridiculous.

[@roberthuff4763]

I will definitely be picking this up…….but I do get the lazy and just dumb approach with this.

[@bryanlea8115]

I don't mind reuse of existing sculpts, or mix and matches so much. Depends what the figure looks like at the end.

[@aceman760]

I thought that was the same cape from the Thomas Wayne figure

[@gregarcher8177]

It sure did sell out everywhere in a hurry.

[@Turkeyboy7]

Probably because of spawn

[@SrJonAnthony]

Real collectors know.

[@Simply_put_it]

The company had layoffs and had no choice but to reduce their staff. However just like Legends there are several areas with too much money being drained/ price jacked.

[@RedXPower]

I found this set at my local Gamestop today.

[@rodneysessoms8804]

The reason I passed on this 2 pack, missed opportunity to make this legendary

[@madmike8v72]

Mcfarlane is nowhere near the size of hasbro and re uses parts and bucks like most. I don't have an issue and I like the Batman.

[@Ham-ra]

Ya crazy. That Bat looks great. Don't love the face but it's it a deal breaker. Calling it a "Frankenstein" is just stupid. All the components blend perfectly. There is nothing wrong with reuse, and it's a lame criticism to state that a fig doesn't work simply because or reuse.

[@penguinproductions8829]

I don’t see why Todd obsessively makes Bruce over and over, his art style would be fantastic if he did his own design for characters like Two Face, The Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Black Mask, Clayface, The Riddler, Man-Bat etc

[@ghostface3655]

I like the "sream" part of the head sculp, everything else is off.

[@markjames8603]

I like this 2-pack, however I have a concern about those ears, maybe it's a flaw in the plastic but it does seriously look like these were added to after the fact😮

[@TheRobinWithWit]

Its okay, i mean reuse is never amazing but if it looks cool im down, plus when you make most things batman your bound to just reuse your like other plethora of sculps.

[@scottmcclary594]

dude McFarlane's been re-using male bucks for a minute now, the bizarro bucks been uses like 5 or 6 times, Jon Kent superboy bucks been used like 4 times, the blue and gold 2-pack bucks been used like 3 times, the aquaman buck like twice, Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart buck 3 times same with Kyle rayner and this Batman buck started with year two then 3 jokers twice 3 variants of hush Batman and now this!

[@doomguy710]

Only so long u can make new bodies sculpts its fine if they reuse just don't make it a habit for every line

[@StopMotionspecialist]

I man once said in quotes “MID-FARLANE”

[@jimwheeler9840]

Would have gotten this if not for that Batman head (and a few other issues). McFarlane often struggles with human faces, and it amazes me how they don't do something about that. We know from the Dwayne Johnson Black Adam what they can really do, so why are so many faces so bad so often?

[@ninetalesboiree9779]

The animated batarang is pretty much just the design of the batatang used sometimes in comics

[@GT_rising24]

Should have used The Knightfall Body imo

[@jamalstevens8543]

The animated battarang is because that’s how it looks in the comic

[@patreck1969]

Nothing wrong with reusing parts but they have to be good to begin with.

[@georgewaters2533]

Parts sharing for different characters has been a thing since even before MOTU & GI Joe in 1982. This means nothing.

[@searcher7478]

Actually really good to see the Hush legs/feet on the 3 Jokers chest! Something I've often thought about doing myself. Cape texturing looks awesome!! ...Not a fan of the open mouth otherwise I don't mind the headsculpt either 🤔

[@leesandoval8385]

The cape is from Thomas Wayne Batman

[@bigboi4488]

Don’t think it’s reuse from that many figures. Looks like it’s just using the year 2 body and a new cape and head

[@WiGgYof09]

2 year Btamn, Hush Batman, and 3 Jokers Batman are all based on the same mold. The heads are different and the top torso changes slightly depending on the emblem.

[@bigboi4488]

@@WiGgYof09 but it’s mostly using the year 2 body

[@madarauchiha919]

I stopped buying bat man figures. After the arkham ones and the thomas wayne flash point i feel no need to get future batman releases.

[@thatkaijunerd]

The batarang is bigger than Batman’s head 🤣

[@darkclaw7459]

Not picking this up as I essentially already have both figures.

[@theeverlastingmeable]

All toy companies reuse models or sculpts. McFarlane has done this for a long time, they've just done it bwtter than others.

[@uzumaki2689]

The animated series batarang 😂

[@mystryj4771]

No cap you picking up bro! It looks amazing and of course he’s gonna reuse ♻️ makes and saves cash so he can give us new sculpts. Stop trying to find or instigate conspiracies

[@isthatajojoreference]

The cape looks like the Thomas Wayne one

[@DarkspiderDavid91]

Damn, now I'm thinking that too.

[@TheButcher44]

Looks badass. Each Batman to their own

[@bobadeeznuts7011]

Guys, it doesn't matter if it looks good, and imo, it does

[@Godisazilla]

Has anyone done a head swap on that Batman yet??? I honestly would only buy it loose tbh

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

Looks good to me 🤷‍♂️

[@FriedSpicyChicken26]

I passed on this. That Spawn body is too skinny, and why is Batman taller than Spawn? Was hoping for all new parts, not a complete re-use.

[@CarpetBanana]

Mcfarlane just needs to give up on making batman figures

[@spawntaneous01]

I really had high hopes for this2pack

[@seanmanscott]

I think he looks awesome.

[@XAlucardmoonX]

I think this was supposed to be his dad but got reused

[@paulhornby5543]

The Cape is from blackest night batman ( atrocitus baf)

[@luckypapi87]

You are totally right. And no, I won't pick this ridiculous 2 pack up. Everything is just repackaged

[@AwesomeBlox044]

Articulation looks so wack and that head looks so weird

[@isaiahcoccera8450]

McFarlane has been reusing parts. It’s a shame cus some figures have so much potential but they end up looking like he got lazy with the detail. 😪

[@CommanderGreyFox]

The cape isnt even unique, you can see that spawn has it.

[@dontgetmarried]

I thought the shoulder spikes were a Thomas Wayne thing?

[@Nin_the_Shinobi]

It sold out. That should tell you everything you need to know

[@hammbone8184]

This 2 pack is so underwhelming! When I first heard the news about this I was so stoked. I think McFarlane Toys shit the bed on what could've been a great set. This is a huge pass for me. If they were going to do some reuse they should have used the shadow of Spawn body buck and the new knightfall Batman body

[@KINGofTWDG]

Looks like a cool two pack, but I never liked the hush 2 pack body pieces they always annoyed me for some reason.

[@jorger643]

I'm digging it . Only so many ways you can reinvent him before you meet some real criticism.

[@granspada4544]

you're right imo.. overall quality has been going down.

[@boishizmoshik7659]

Actually i kinda like its design, i would be picking them up but the issue is the price.. so pass.

[@Blaccwolf36]

Spawn looks good. Batman suit looks okay...keep in mind I said suit...

[@dankura]

its not necessarily bad bro if it works i say use it but along with new material that batman is solid with a few custom tweaks

[@repasygeorge08]

I hate the head sculpt

[@gentalrobots3988]

I have the mortal combat spawn and I totally regret buying it since this one is now available the Batman is cheap reuse but I like his gothic style

[@timgriggs9491]

Just what we need another Batman! Missed the color though.... being Frankienstien Batman with all stolen body parts, shouldn't he be green? Slap some bolts on his neck!!! Frankenbat lives.

[@Horstveratu]

Almost all 2 packs so far have been recycled figures...

[@fullmetalrants843]

And the Spawn just has a new cape and sword other than that nothing new.

[@OOmpaVillelover]

I think the cape is Thomas Wayne batman cape

[@greedysourceofgod4819]

Sometimes I miss toybiz

[@jayguero2123]

Making a new sculpt for every single character is not financially sustainable. There’s a reason why ToyBiz went down under a long time ago.

[@quintonbrooks7536]

I'll get it for the spawn figure tbh

[@jesus3squivel479]

it does look like the batman after troika/ into the grant morrison jla comics from late 90´s so il pick him up later

[@bigwhopper6501]

Just swap the head with arkham city batman 😂

[@damionalbarr7961]

That's 3 Joker Batman buck with a new head, cape and forearms

[@Baconlovesreddead]

Mcfarlane needs to slow down and actually look at what people enjoy. More figures like KnightFall Batman, more female figures, classic Justice League members. But he just keeps making this shit.

[@SrJonAnthony]

Hes done so much weve never had before and hes extending license rights for like 2-3 more years. Smh

[@Baconlovesreddead]

@@SrJonAnthony he’s done a lot we’ve never had, which is great, but he doesn’t always do it good

[@SrJonAnthony]

@@Baconlovesreddead maybe to some. And thats ok, and also not really that relevant though. If 90% of what he does is soaked up like a sponge it sounds like hes doing just fine. Theres not that many females left out at this point, thats not to say more are not coming, we all know they are. Classic justice league stuff just started. I dont think people realize how much there is to make, where to begin? Its different for everyone isnt it? Its not hard to imagine hes likely overwhelmed at this point. Hes doing an amazing job. Hes doing more amazing considering what hes up against.

[@eljibarocaptainwepa8198]

Basically that's what is gonna happen. Sucks

[@coreylarrimore5479]

I am looking for a good spawn figure

[@UltraKryptonian]

Not impressed. Pass! I'd rather see more 1989 Batmobiles in stock than this.

[@johnw201]

yeah but look like fucking badass and the cape came from batman dad in red . dont remember is name sorry

[@user-ii3dc1nt4z]

Haven't bought one of these figures in forever poor quality getting worse than marvel legends. Gonna get the new cyborg cnc though

[@clonetrooper84]

HARD PASS. 🤮

[@richardornelas4052]

It looks ok to me

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

This figure is dog water. Its probably the worse Batman theyve made.

[@ronaldgood3545]

"Just (Customize) um!" 🤷.....(i would)

[@chojinkid]

definitely no

[@lukechapman6710]

I like it🤷🏽
