McFarlane DC Multiverse AZRAEL Batman: Curse of the White Knight Action Figure Review

McFarlane Toys has delivered some of the nicest action figures for their time on many different occasions. They have also released some real stinkers. Will this figure fit in more with the best of the best or will it be more in line with the worst?

Wow a positive review of Mcfarlane from anthony. The figure looks so aesthetically pleasing. Kinda looks like a storm collectibles but for almost half the price!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I've given more positive than negative reviews to their figures.

Excellent video as always. Can’t wait to see more McFarlanD DC figure review from you Anthony!

[@nhyar]

I'm so glad this was my first McFarlane DC figure because I'm just so in love with it, lol. This guy is definitely one of my favorite figures released this year so far. Joints are ugly and I'd like some extra fist hands to completely overlook its faults, but I am happy as it is because I can give him Marvel Select's Deadpool guns and he looks even better. I don't know, man, I feel like I can appreciate better when a figure is actually good thanks to your reviews and I'm really satisfied with this one. I hope Todd keeps making stuff like this because then I'd rather give him my money instead of Hasbro.

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Mine too. I didn't even know what this really was toy wise when it came out, but luckily found one locally and had him on my shelf for the last year. So much cool stuff going on for sure.

[@supermario496]

[@Knightfall182]

Ah damn. This is a sign I watch *Anthony'sCustoms* too often. I bought this figure last week.. believing it would actually pass his inspection 😄😄😄😄

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That's a good thing. I've helped.

[@tenrec89]

I actually like the stands. They don't look great, but neither to my larger, clear NECA ones. They work fine for me and as long as the peghole is snug, you can achieve some pretty dynamic poses with them. Plus i'm never gonna tell a company not to include a stand.

[@nickjones8619]

I buy a lot of figures, usually just to have nice figures of my favorite characters. They do the job, for the most part. This is the first figure in a long time that made my jaw drop and impress me. For $20, he's big, sturdy, yet crammed full of detail, great variety of materials, excellent paint and wash, yet engineered in a way that he's still incredibly poseable for his size. The way they did his cape tassels was great; the way they engineered his head with separate neck, head, and hood articulation has spoiled me on any future hooded figure; the way even the fire effect on the sword captures light and nearly glows hot... I've been VERY critical of McFarlane's earliest DC line attempts, but this feels like a figure worth twice the asking price. I've paid far more for far inferior figures before. For all that this guy has to offer, it feels like I got a great deal and I'm hoping they carry this qualify forward into future releases.

[@lygonthereddragon]

Who ever said they "McFarlane Toys needs time" has a butt cheeks for brains. The first batch is very highly disappointing till that Hell Bat and Spawn came out. They can do better. Hate it when they dont. If they keep the same effort in all the figures not just spawn, it would be great.

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Exactly, they been around for like fricken forever. They know how to do action figures, so for them to fudge entire waves is kind of ridiculous.

[@hotsauce8780]

I wish they didn't screw up on All Might

[@m.o.d.o.k.]

Speaking of butt cheeks, have you noticed the absolute DUMP TRUCK most Mcfarlane figures have?!

[@clonedivission7]

I have to say, that Azrael is looking good. Heck I might even consider buying it just to accompany my MK11 Spawn

[@NightWatch0997]

Well, you're not harsh for the first wave. They just deserve it. Also is it that difficult for them to make double jointed elbow

[@thecatinthehatifyoudidntkn5096]

If the arms are going to be that thick a double joint would probably make the arms to long and leave a giant joint

[@zephyrleapold6796]

Yeah i thought he'd rip this fig. Surprised me. I'm still not digging it though.

[@farhanfahim27]

I was waiting for Anthony's review on this cool figure and here it is!The amount of details on this awesome figure at around $25 shows Hasbro too can give us such figures at this price range. McFarlane releasing figures like this Azrael, Raiden and Spawn shows they have the capability to come up with actual praiseworthy figures and his reviews are the actual proof of it. Great review! Eagerly waiting for what the next review will be on.

[@miguelcastro2164]

Lmao at the Mcfarlane spell check, Anthony is a savage in this review, saying nice things and still shitting on them. Awesome review. You persuaded me to hunt this figure down

[@SH_Zardy]

Honestly kinda just want the sword, but I feel like I'd like the figure too much to use the sword for something else.

[@mawile3037]

13:47 you did do it lol, I was really questioning if you would flip the flame in poses vs just saying its able to do that

[@mawile3037]

2:00 damn we should have gotten an assault rifle with weapon holding hands, and the fists as you say. . . . .dang, well I'm keeping mine in box anyway 😅 I want to get it signed by Sean Murphy, he came to the con in my city and signed most of Curse (the last issue wasn't out yet) hopefully he shows up again Edit Damg you know what, look up issue #2 if Curse of the White Knight, Azrael has friends, i hope we get those

[@twoodall88]

Just bought this guy. Thank you for keeping me from buying any of the other bad McFlane figures. (picked up the first Batman before reviews... Big mistake in my book)

[@EXPENDABLE50]

The paint work on this fig is so good. The fire and sword also look exceptional. Great release from MT

[@davidmarrero9608]

Prime example on that McFarlane should actually use for articulation with the rest of their figures. It's great on the range and half the price. Idk why he half asses some figures acting like he doesn't know articulation when he haves years worth of doing it even if he likes preposed statues. He needs to stop being stubborn just like with the Kickstarter spawn figures on refusing to fix that twisted torso or add the ab movement. Which if you seen the last update he did improve the ankle pivot/rocker and added boot even a thigh cut so I don't understand his logic. I hope there are sculptures telling him how figures should function cuz this Azrael figure along with their Batman white knight figure haves great range and it's nice to see the new releases applying this articulation scheme over how bad the first wave of DC Multiverse figures were being all over the place.

[@ManuelGuillenMusic]

You know it's a good figure when you hear Anthony saying: "OHH, IT'S DELIGHTFUL..." - 9:28

[@davidcruzate]

Thanks for being so vocal about your opinions and gripes, Anthony. Like you said, it's because of feedback, positive and negative, that the line is improving! I've said this before but anyone wondering what the line is planning on fixing, watch any of Tye Butler's interviews! He's a DC Content Expert on the line and he's taking in suggestions and feedback, and you can already see the improvements on the SDCC reveals for the fall. Excited for the line to continue to get better and provide great figs for a good price

[@knightcaptain7140]

Rohan Hundalekar yeah it’s insane how good they look

[@danielyoungblood3931]

My question is, how do you manage to fuck up a relatively simple character like Superman, but manage to nail a character with a more complex design like Azrael or Hell Bat?

[@TheMattTrakker]

I paint the logos onto the stands and use them for the figures. They stand well enough on their own, but I like what that adds to it. Since McFarlane makes the same 3 characters so often, having logos in/on the stands would be something they could consider doing to add a little something to their figures.

[@JayloFerrer]

It seems like McFarlane does well with toys that have a lot of detail and are bulky like this, Hellbat and Unchained. The details on the WW84 arent bad as well. But when it comes to simple designs like animated Supes and Bats, McFarlane just drops the ball.

[@endertron3282]

I like his upper part but i don't really like his legs. I wish it had more armor

[@Xingularity]

I love the figure. Also the head moves separate from the hood do well it is hardly noticeable.

[@blaarg001]

Personally would've liked more elbow range, but i own the marauder, so 🤣, 90°s it is.

[@ChiefPeep]

I seen this figure in store but I passed him up. Not my favorite look for Azrael but I might get him eventually.

[@Cirroyt]

This figure has to be my favorite from McFarlane especially since its Jean Paul valley Azrael

[@eduardofalcao6369]

[@darkinferno8732]

Anthonyscustoms after finding some REALLY good Mcfarlane toys action figures: -"Finally, some fucking good action figures!"

[@thecatinthehatifyoudidntkn5096]

I’ve come around to these guys, I just saw all the new stuff they have in the works and am looking forward to it, I’ll trade the useless toe joint for a proper thigh swivel though

[@shauntothemaxx5639]

McFarland is the amusement park McFarlane is buying himself from all the DC figures we're buying.

[@ElaineClush]

I agree that the stands are a bit too small for heavier 7 inch figures. However, my PS4 Spider-Man figure started losing balance, and the stand from this guy went right to that one.

[@jcam320]

I'm going to have to get this figure just for that upside down fire effect on the sword. Beautiful

[@Novapoid]

It's certainly a modernized design, but I'm actually one of the few people who really enjoyed this edgy character back when it first showed up in a miniseries & then replaced Bruce as a way edgier Batman. The fact that he looks like a fantasy knight helps a ton. I hope Mc Farlane continues this trend of releasing great sculpts of relatively unknown characters; those are usually the ones I enjoy the most in DC.

[@gregimusprime7478]

My walmart had them for 19.99 for a day, next day they were 15.88. Just picked him up last night.

[@gerrysabron]

saw this first time in Target today & bought it with multiverse Wally West Kid Flash..its a double Red weekend..looks awesome in hand

[@acereview7968]

Great figure. Never seen a head in hood articulation work like that. Very cool!

[@Ultrazilla]

Sheesh and this looks even better. I've worked on a ton of Batman and Azrael stories, so I think I'll have get these two. Agree, they have to think of a better solution for the elbows, but at least it fits Sean's aesthetics.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Worked on their stories?

[@Ultrazilla]

@@AnthonysCustoms Yep! Worked for DC for 8 years and been freelancing for almost 6 now--lettering.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I knew that but I didn't know you worked on the best of the good stuff lol. Nice. That's awesome.

[@Ultrazilla]

@@AnthonysCustoms Thanks, man. Yeah I've done a ton of Batman, Azrael, Supes, the whole gang. Last one I lettered for them was Batman Who Laughs, which was great.

[@chewymew]

This thing looks phenominal! Don't you just love when a company proves they actually can make good figures if they try? And there's still people arguing that "it's made out of plastic, it's not possible to make it look like a comic art," lol

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Mhm

[@soliduswasright678]

Just bought this one, keeping my eye on the Azrael Batman Armor one that just went up for preorder. Hopefully you'll do a review on that one, it has the same sword as this one so hopefully that fire effect will be interchangeable.

[@arthurchen6464]

Have you given your quickie opinion on those newly revealed SDCC@home McF Multiverse figures? They all look so much better than the first wave (low bar)

[@AnthonysCustoms]

No

[@1988METALMAN]

Todd McFarlane is doing a amazing job going from zero articulated figures to super articulated with tons of details. I'm finding myself buying more of Todd's stuff than neca and marvel legend figures lately.

[@louisbaez5802]

Wow! It does look pleasing to a collector's eye. It's a shame thait will not be easily found in to many stores. But again excellent review. Thanks for sharing.

[@Yats6417]

Yay ! Been waiting for you to review this !

[@qemuel]

Great review! This makes me hopeful for their upcoming Flashpoint Batman. 👍

[@TheTrueJuan]

So excited for that figure. Been praying for a comic accurate Flashpoint Batman for years now.

[@THEShoky]

Hoping they do the Bat Armor version

[@mastershake2473]

They are.

[@xer0vi]

He can also move his face without moving the hood. So if you want the head turned without the hood moving.. You can do that.

[@KJtheSK]

I'm still hoping for a decent thigh swivel from them. What they have going on right now isn't horrible, but it's also not really functional. But an actual thigh swivel would make Mcfarlane figures top tier! Especially on a figure like spawn or this one.

[@Jason11190]

I can't help but think the legs look kind of unfinished or something. They look so bland compared to all of the stuff going on with the upper body and the arms. I know this is how the character looks and all, but I personally think the legs could have benefited from some gold armor plates like the arms have...

[@Wolfie1262]

Wow. This figure looks gorgeous! I got the Hellbat Armor Batman and love it, but my other two McFarlane figures have some serious issues lol you know the Doom Slayer al too well. But I bought a couple McFarlane Jareth the Goblin Kings for myself and a friend, and mine has a factory defect in its right ankle making it unable to stand up lol

[@michyoungie]

[@Masterplayer1500]

We've been getting a good little streak of good figures.

[@theextracrispycolonel9504]

Gonna turn into a big one with the new figures that are coming

[@Spongemonkey26]

Anthony, if you could only collect one line that's decent top to bottom, what would it be?

[@DesignIncase]

They just need to work on the upper thighs and standardize double joints. I'd like them to experiment more with flexible material. That would hide the leg splits and some of the torso articulation. I'd love to see a proper Green Arrow(and a better Arrow) where the hood comes down and doesn't mess with the ability to move the head. Arrow - Was terrible I wish I had just returned him. Superman - I thought was fine but they can do better. Doesn't look like that will be happening this year. The Armored forms I thought were solid but the wings seems like "We ran out of money". Batman......just pales in comparison to the later figures and especially the upcoming ones if Flashpoint Batman is as good as it looks.

[@agiammarco94]

Azreal is on my list on McFarlane figures to get. Along with most of the next few waves of stuff cause they look so good and they’re a pretty good price in Canada (Amazon has them for $25, like that’s so much better of a price than almost all Hasbro figures). The only figure from the first wave I have is the unchained Superman which is pretty good but could be better. Will eventually get the hellbat

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Well you saved me from getting bad Mcfarlane figures and now I'm tempted to get this, I'll have to decide between this and sh figuarts Ginyu to get first

[@Cavemol5823]

[@oztaxguy3567]

Have you reviewed the Doom Marauder? Was hoping to hear it from you before buying. W/r/t Azrael, my only grip is that his knee joints are weak (also missing a few ratchets) so posing him on bending knee doesn't hold at times, especially in conjunction with the toe articulation.
