McFarlane Toys MAN-BAT Batman DC Multiverse Rebirth Action Figure Review

[@zoomflight3115]

This, killer croc, and the new bane are the new figures I'm most looking forward to you reviewing

[@AnthonysCustoms]

already have croc

[@simplebidnessman]

@@AnthonysCustoms excited for that review,

[@andresMASTERx]

I had canceled my pre order on this guy because of shelf space and was starting to regret it ,but now I'm glad I did, those ankles are terrible. I can't have a freaking demolition ball tumbling down my shelves. Hopefully the new comic bane won't have problems like that.

[@phenom3161]

All you have to do is find the right pose and thats all. I figure out that the base could give you a lot o balance with the wings and the torso. Talking about the size, its big, but you could make him a little bit short trying to crossing their arms.

[@calvinj7496]

I think man bat could've been a normal release instead of being a mega fig. If he had an open wing option i would definitely get him.

[@BA-rh5hy]

Truly having a blast building my batman collection with all the cool variations and these villains really add a different dimension to the collection.

[@nyugvo6]

My problem with the DC line is that we don't have as many Lobo figures as batman variants.

[@braydenpage1808]

I had the choice of Man Bat or Killer Croc and I chose Croc because he doesn't have as many limitations. I think if you review him you should like him more.

[@TheMattTrakker]

I like the matte diaper, should have done all of the pants matte. Shouldn't have to do this, but - If these are anything like the ankles on the redeemer figure from the spawn line, I took them off, split them in half and then put glue on each portion of the ankle ball, let it mostly dry then put it back together and moved it a little bit to make sure it didn't totally lock together. It's still functional as an ankle, but that added enough friction that it holds him up much better now.

[@Mickylitman]

Awesome figure IMO

[@rebelempire6822]

The cake rating is hilarious 😂

[@searcher7478]

Faaaaarrrrk man! 😆🤣 The way you ever-so-smoothly manage to incorporate 'That's what she said" into the review! Priceless!! You should do a compilation video of all the times you've 'slipped it in' (that's what she said!) 😆😂

[@meneliktafari894]

Great review …… looking forward to the croc as well

[@ricardonunez544]

It's a shame that Man Bat's wings cannot be opened... that would have given this figure more presence, grandeur and majesty

[@DTWARRIOR_MK]

Zup Anthony, I think we can concluded that Mcfarlane likes Batman as much as you do👍🏼, I say keep them coming, the stand is the best accessory, be advised you can fix the joints with some, thanks for the video bro 😎

[@nes199]

came for the man-bat review, felt satisfied after the cake rating

[@laughingman5743]

it's looks so good in box. the sculpt is fucken awesome imo. I wanna take it out and try some poses but I'm just as happy with it in box.

[@nexus7joynexus7joy97]

I can't wait until you review the McFarlane DC Multiverse Parrallax. I just bought one from WM on my way home from work for $19.87. The circle on the chest is upside down to the package picture. The figure doesn't have gray hair on the sides of the head like in the picture. And many more discrepancies between the figure and the picture on the package. You'll get a kick out of this figure I'm sure.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Idk if ill bother

[@WanderingTetsubo]

I think Manbat had the same elongated pinky finger with only 2-3 functional fingers on his hands, in his "The Batman" series appearance, iirc.

[@BXDRAGONX1]

Boy I was going to buy this fig. I love the sculpt. Looks big but after seeing this review I’ll past. Come on McFarland, you need to address the standing issues on some of your figures. That tiny foot disc can even hold up a regular figure. I have Mortal Kombat Spawn that keeps falling amid the disc. Thanks for this review.

[@Cautious_Gamer]

Would make a great base for a custom Werewolf figure.

[@frobjorn2201]

I was thinking the same darn thing

[@JimothyBridgemont]

Sticky Tack/Mounting Putty is your best friend for these types of figures. Even then, who knows if this would stand consistently.

[@cdubbart]

I probably won’t be tired of the Batman related stuff until I get everything I want lol.

[@EliteLegendToysandCollectibles]

Can’t wait to get this beast.

[@tonileo9849]

Mcfarlane should go the mafex route and make waves or lines based on certain stories, and try to replicate the look of the chatscters from that story really close. The most recent example would be their newly announced bane, ehich is just...there, not saying its bad, but i really wish the line would be more consistent.

[@bctan2291]

definitely need a figure stand for him (12 inch figure stand is better).. or hook him up (he is a flying character anyway)

[@kltoybox]

You know I love Batman a ton but it would be nice to get more variety outside the justice league and current show characters. Even some animal companions would be nice like a Dope Ace and Krypto. I was excited for the new Static Shock Figure till I saw him but hoping he makes a variant that is a bit better looking to me. Them not being able to stand neutral has been incredibly annoying.

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

One of the few mcfarlane figs I’d buy

[@noz48a2]

I have him and Clayface and that's it.

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

@@noz48a2 thought about Bane too, but he’s too big haha

[@MrHutto1]

I hate that he doesn't come with any guns.

[@ihavetoreturnsomevideotape2760]

Lmao!

[@hazeleduardo2354]

You killed me, man.

[@iasiahharrison9185]

One of the biggest issues mcfarlane has with the dc multiverse figures is definitely articulation,wich if you think about it articulation is kind of new to mcfarlane toys because for years thier figures had like what five points to zero articulation;hell from the late 90s and early 2000s all thier figures were basically statues.

[@romandodero3847]

I Like Man-Bat a lot, we need a Live Action Movie apperance soon

[@bonnwilliams1106]

Batman has so many looks with a great cast of characters, so I'm happy that there's a lot of Batman in the multiverse line. I agree with McFarlane that there should be a normal Batman on shelves 12 months of the year.

[@satishtilokani2990]

Ban at LOOKS ok

[@justicierodelaliga]

Would you do a McFarlane Lobo review? Yes, I´m done with Batman and characters of his universe. Give them a rest. There´s still not even a regular Wonder Woman figure yet tons of Batman universe figures. What about Black Canary, Firestorm, Captain Atom, Spectre...? And if McFarlane loves horror/monster characters there´s his chance to make Blue Devil, Trigon, Creeper, Bleez, Silver Banshee... PS Agreed with the comment regarding the looks of certain characters. While yes, there are some that have definitive costumes from specific times, there are others where it doesn´t matter the least as they have a general look all the time.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

did they release a lobo?

[@emphorepolpatinedasenate]

I want to have a comic justice league already!

[@dylanpocock703]

Great review as always the arse rating made me smile which is quite rare

[@razrentals8897]

Watching you trying to get him to stand is such a shame. I thought this dude looked cool and I was thinking of getting him to display with my Neca Alien vs. Batman, but I’ll probably skip this guy. I’ll check out your clayface review next since I was thinking of getting him too.

[@sinchman1]

Back to the drawing board with this figure

[@PowerChordEPS]

Batman's also my favorite DC hero but in saying that, we need more villains than just Batman variants. Sure we got a fair amount but what about Mr. Freeze? A classic Riddler? Ra's Al Ghul? Lots of untapped potential but I'm still waiting on the rest of the 2003 Teen Titans after Cyborg Man-Bat's a step in the right direction and my biggest issue is no flight stand. McFarlane has a perfectly good flight stand that could be resized to accommodate bigger figures and it'd solve the standing problem. Wrists are weird too, could have included alternate arms with claw hands so you're not just limited to that pose

[@chrchaves]

Do you think there might ve a way to fix these knees? I just got one and it's driving me nuts

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Glue i guess. Not much else

[@Mickylitman]

What do you think of the booster gold figure they revealed? I think he looks more lemony than gold which sucks

[@AnthonysCustoms]

we'll see how it looks at release.

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Shame this guy can't stand good because he looks awesome. I might get him but those loose joints will be pretty annoying especially when doing stop motion. I like Batman a lot too but wouldn't mind seeing other DC characters like the Teen Titans

[@shauntothemaxx5639]

The lack of trigger finger hands is disappointing... As for someone who doesn't collect Batman. I appreciate its in the line, cause DC is solely about Batman for a lot of people, it makes the line as a whole successful and profitable for DC and McFarlane to keep making figures, and it gives my wallet a break.

[@helloagain3226]

Excellent analysis. This looks a good starting point for a great custom and I wanted a megafig manbat and I like the overall sculpt they went for, but I want a finished product not a project. The legs are unforgivable, the fists were designed on a Friday afternoon then forgotten, that pink paint is hideous and the teeth are ridiculous. I'll already be paying around the equivalent of $60 for one where I live and have you seen what mezco has coming?

[@xpertofkombatxandgames7231]

love it

[@nicktroisi6347]

Holy shit (I know I’m late btw) but there are so many Batman figures it’s not funny. It’s a crime that we haven’t got a classic Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Powergirl ect yet. There are so many different Heroes and Villains that they can use but no, it’s just a different version of Batman or Superman related figures. To be fair Todd has released some absolute bangers and is starting to realise l us fans want classic or recent versions of these characters. I’m really excited for Impulse, Black Manta and Jay Garrick

[@raygun310]

Hey Anthony, will u review the new batmam from page punchers line? I think he looks sick! Would love to know how he actually is

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I don't think I'm buying it. Don't like the colors

[@Bender1988s]

because of the limitations i didnt buy it. sculp is awesome,but. i had to chose killer croc (i will repaint him) cool sculp-like most mcfarlane dc figures-but they need a repaint

[@MrMegaman0607]

DC Superheroes had a more diverse character selection and that line was strictly limited to Batman and Superman characters, at least that made y’know, villains and supporting cast members way more often

[@randallpohl5408]

Lmao. Your cake ratings are stellar.

[@onetwelvewonders5480]

I regularly snap my feet in half when I bend my metatarsals for dynamic poses in real life.

[@liquidbelowzer0]

Dang, I'll probably get Croc. Thanks for a great review!

[@whitezombified]

I'm wondering how those fuckin wings would work if they were functional, I don't think they are sculpted at the proper points on the arms lol

[@nivekcor7760]

Definitely wouldn't mind seeing more batman villains.

[@Albino_Basilisk]

I’m definitely ok with them just sticking to Batman stuff, I just wished it was Batman stuff I wanted, like more classic looking villains, not a million alternate dimension versions of Batman

[@GoFigure]

a 7 from Anthony means this is a must-buy.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It doesn't really mean that

[@GoFigure]

@@AnthonysCustoms either way man, if I'm 50-50 on a figure and you give it a 7, it's a must-buy for me. Honest review as always. Thanks!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Sounds good. Enjoy

[@assassinrookie7156]

I’m surprised that your not able to open the wings so you can pose him flying, you know like an actual bat

[@TheStrscrm]

That's a shame, because the sculpt is really good.

[@waleslandofdragons8842]

A collection video would be really good 🙏

[@Mickylitman]

I love Batman so I’m ok

[@maxbanh]

his wings cant open unlike the Dcuc one, very top heavy which is like: Whats the point.

[@paulrippcord506]

I’d want to see more of DC’s other characters: Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, a classic Teen Titans set, Doom Patrol, Plastic-Man.

[@jasonmckillip5936]

Blue beetle booster gold 2 pack got revealed

[@rafaelvolpiteixeira7315]

I would love if McFarlane Toys did more characters in their classic look, they recently announced Blue Bettle and Booster Gold, and they look amazing

[@joeleustice]

Dangit... I was just going to say that. And they look good for what they are...

[@chaisrocha9853]

Not a fan of the googles not being translucent they look fine but they look like different character

[@jestaalchaosborne]

Batman is my favorite dc property but I wouldn’t mind seeing some green lantern characters. Aside from that, all I care about is how cool they come out

[@Victor-mc1sz]

Answer to your question- I don't mind if they do other characters in the Batman universe as well- villains, supporting cast, etc. Are you planning to review Killer Croc? Hopefully that one is a good one.

[@Hdhakdhdj]

Please review the warhammer 40k genestealer, you'll get a great surprise

[@edvincarpio127]

Kinda disappointed you didn't give the cake a lil slap because I was heavily tempted to do so myself

[@DesignIncase]

The problem isn't Batman related figures but Batman. It's announcing Batroticus instead of any other Red Lantern. Announcing a Batman from a single small panel in some small one off comic. But announce a Poison Ivy, Penguin, Two Face, Mr Freeze, Ra's, Nightwing, Robin, ..........Alfred and that's different. Then when we do get other characters.......it's always something. Too long legs, side eyes, crap costumes no one cares about(Static), or a lack of important accessories. Man-Bat, had to cancel, it's too much a statue(which I don't want) without being a great statue. If it's on a nice sale, I might pick it up, but I can miss it in the collection. Which is a shame. I still don't get why they won't sculpt better articulation. At first I thought they were reusing parts and so they had to make due with their mistakes. But these more unique figures has the same problem.

[@aaronmauer7225]

Yes. I have pretty much dropped the line except for a figure here and there

[@SentinelPrimal]

It’s disappointing that the wings are just scrunched and can’t expand for flight mode. Great sculpt but the cons outweigh the pros. I’ll stick to the DCUC version.

[@whylekat]

No open hands is a deal breaker for me. At least sculpt one of them open to hold something!

[@duckheadfoot]

Looseness is a dealbreaker for me also...

[@plasticweapon]

maybe do over if the thing falls off the platform?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

What?

[@Lord.of.Apokolips]

When you wanted claw hands ,todd give you fist hands

[@peytoncallis]

The intro was funny when the figure fell off the stand

[@hannahsaphire7643]

Why wouldn’t he rate the cake? That’s what I say! 🎂🎂🎂. That’s such a bummer that he can barely stand. Lol to the final pose. Thanks for the awesome review Anthony😽🤟💯💗

[@ryancasper6576]

Im ok woth mainly Batman related stuff. However McFarlane needs to get his shit together and start supervising to make these figures good. Lots of problems that can easily be fixed

[@chojinkid]

do you guys know how much this figure is worth nowdays?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Still retail

[@chojinkid]

@@AnthonysCustoms how much is it retail in the US?

[@brooklynrenegade]

You should make a custom toilet for Man-Bat to sit on.

[@JerryGattz]

I am okay with Batman being featured a lot in this line. Sure, it's taking forever to get other characters, but we are getting them little by little. Also, any toy company that gets a license for Batman is a goldmine for them. So it is expected that we see a heavy amount of Batman merch. I do like my figures to stand on their own. Lol

[@MARTY61384]

Wait till u get that 7in page punchers batman. Hes dope looking but u know mcfarlanes articulation is

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I'm not getting it. The colors are weird

[@DanB.0]

I watch all your videos, I enjoy your reviews even when not interested in the character but I still wonder why you rate the ass hahaha I mean, I know it's a funny idea but it's still confusingly funny, so it's like, yeah, that happens lol and it's hilarious when you clarify about it for the unfamilar viewers xD

[@AnthonysCustoms]

it's because mcf puts lots of cheeks and crack in their figures regularly

[@xer0vi]

Im okay with it. Batman is what sells. It would be nice to get a little more of other characters. But all the Batman stuff works for me.

[@saikugeru1819]

i think the main problem with mcfarlane is that there is too much detail

[@AnthonysCustoms]

ummm... why is that a problem?

[@hazeleduardo2354]

I don't see that as a problem honestly, but to each their own.

[@AndresDavidCalvache]

At least you could stand yours, my toy has really weak ankle joints can't stand at all. Too top heavy. Still a great sculpt.

[@FinalConsensus]

He most definitely should have had open claw hands and not fists

[@JayWoods483]

ACqoTD: I am not as sick as watching Hasbro ML Spider-Man figure reviews. 2022 marks Spidey's 60th, I just didn't expect 60 Spideys from Hasbro. I am so disappointed this figure cannot remain at least standing erect without being propped. It isn't a deal breaker for me, but puts posing him more in a position it will balance rather than what I would like. But the killer for me are the hands. I will not be getting this product simply because of the hands. First off, the character doesn't fly with closed fists unless he is diving (and even then) on a prey, so their selection is a real deal breaker for me. I could possibly balance it if it had open hands and a counter balance could be used, but sadly that's not the case. As a statue it is art. As a posable figure, it fails.

[@kltoybox]

I know you may not mean to but you make me laugh pretty hard. Great review!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

i mean to. thanks

[@thebat8997]

Ugh mcfarlane mcfarlane mcfarlane why you do you continue to disappoint me

[@darthamrel]

Still want it despite all its flaws

[@lancefromohio]

I'm flabbergasted that you just flew =ahem= right over the wings. Those wings are a mess, and no alternate extended wing span is an absolute dealbreaker on this. It's so obvious I expect to get them eventually in a re-release. So I'll only grab this if it shows up on mega-sale. Speaking of, that movie Batman Drifter Bike is $15 (50% off) on Amazon right now. (day of video upload) [edit] I double checked, they jacked it back up to $21 since this morning

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Everyone complains when the gargoyle have spread wings. Everyone complains when manbat has folded wings.

[@lancefromohio]

@@AnthonysCustoms it's the lack of options. Gargoyles is fixing it. I expect Todd will too. But Todd just loves selling multiples of the same figure. You hear complaints, because happy people don't announce "THIS IS FINE THANK YOU." Unhappy people tend to be voccal.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

right but if you have to only pick one option, folded wings makes more sense due to shelf space and budget.

[@theextracrispycolonel9504]

I wish you had been right, unfortunately..he never actually did re-release this guy with spread wings

[@daviid_ee]

I guess I am part of the problem because I am a sucker for Batman and his characters. That said, I wish we would get figures from Teen Titans/Young Justice and a proper Wonder Woman.

[@chaisrocha9853]

Batman products always sell like hotcakes and that is mostly adult fans buying them imagine of bats had a cartoon currently on tv

[@rsaaland]

I'm sick of all the Batmans but not the Batman-related characters - give me more of Batman's villains, allies, and supporting cast, and less of Batman himself. I would literally buy even Ace the Bathound if they made a (good) figure.

[@reeda1746]

Surprised you didn't mention the fact that we cannot have it on a flying pose for not having alternate arms or wing pieces. That fact alone is a dealbreaker for me. And answering the question.. I don't get that many DC things in general.. but I find it annoying that they just don't put out more variety

[@AnthonysCustoms]

if it was more expensive but at this price the folded wings make sense

[@reeda1746]
