[@SeanBeanie4191]

it's kind of funny how the sculpt lends itself to all the articulation points; the band on the bicep, how the shoulder cuff could have worked, the ab crunch could've been hidden by the harness...odd choice but great looking figure

[@thedonofthsht76-58]

Damn he looks so good!! Really don't understand why no fists were added though. Mcfarlane nailed this otherwise. We need a Two Face now!! Great vid! 👍

[@FinalConsensus]

I mean, he's grabbing Batman and breaking him on the cover not punching him....

[@thedonofthsht76-58]

@@FinalConsensus bane is known for pounding and crushing things with his fists. Not grabbing them..

[@danielgambito9962]

I would like to see a classic Doomsday mega figure

[@fernandodelgado4329]

I know it sucks that Bane has no set of two fists, But c'mon, He is way better than the BAF version of himself and he looks classic while looking imposing to Batman and Batman will find a way to stop Bane from breaking his back, Awesome review.

[@meneliktafari894]

That Bane is dope …. Wish he had double jointed elbows or a swivel

[@philrm99]

Really like the detail of his veins.

[@ahmetyalcnkaya6637]

This figure looks awesome

[@DanB.0]

Beautiful release. I agree the articulation of the arms and not having an extra fists maybe lower a couple of points but this is a must-get for me. Congrats on all your campaign and it's a great idea you have that countdown live! Have fun (can't join but hope you enjoy)

[@UncleScorch]

Again, what I really love about your reviews is you REALLY put these figures through the routine in regards to articulation. Thanks for the vid!

[@glennjthompson332]

😧Bane's all Jacked up💪, to break batman's spine!😲 (Good review!!!!🤯) (👍Grade A- B-😃)

[@raffiadhitama5212]

The thing about Mcfarlane, they would make a perfect figure butt add it with flaws 😅 makes you appreciate the good more i think

[@deadlydragon222]

Solid review and can't wait to get him he'll look great fighting the new Azbat!

[@zoomflight3115]

That pose breaking batman back looks so good. Was waiting to see someone do that. Can't wait for this

[@morkymoose9590]

YAAAAAS FINALLY! IM PUMPED FOR THIS REVIEW! Oh congratulations on 7k!

[@truwe316]

I think this is a combo of his Rebirth look and his Knightfall look. Boots are definitely Knightfall but the vest is more of his Rebirth look (I believe).

[@mrdestro7283]

Def getting this one I actually love the baf bane

[@actionfigureshi]

After repainting my fat Bane, I'm going to pose both of them together now as comparisons to Bane before and after

[@ripe4valhalla687]

Hell yeah! Really liking the look of this bane. Looks so much better than the BAF. Nice head sculpt. Dope he can break bats back. I know the obvious gripe is no fisted hands but it would’ve also been nice for some weapon wielding hands as well for some melee weapons. Overall tho loving this one, can’t wait for mine. Another awesome review man!

[@morkymoose9590]

I love how you had him doing body builder poses🤣

[@louishogner7018]

Ordering mine soon!!! Amazing review brother!!!

[@timothybrothers5351]

This just became one of my new favorite channels. In love with this bane. And me and my woman thought I was the only idiot that loves the smell of a fresh our of the box figure. I'd buy air freshener that had that smell

[@alexbelmont7044]

Figure looks great but there's so much room in that box they should of included two fist hands in there. The Rogue's gallery is coming along nicely though. Hopefully we'll get Two-face, Poison Ivy, Catwoman and Mr. Freeze soon.

[@EvictedConvict]

Got to do break the bat pose or like a parody of it as one of your shorts fs great review like always 👍🏻

[@Floyds_Toys]

Really should of came with a pair of fists but despite that he looks awesome can't wait to get him.

[@UpClosewithLawrence]

Definitely a buy for me. Hope to see it locally though. I can’t wait to read your first novel Drop Shadow. 👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼♥️♥️

[@mrdarkassassin7]

Loved the review 🔥. Where can I get my hands on that spinning stand you got ?

[@Nomadunlimited]

already bought the transparent light green tubes to customize mine

[@jamesdroegemueller301]

Wow, this figure looks so good even with the missteps from manufacturing. I would love to see Bane the Bat from his own Forever Evil miniseries as a figure.

[@guevaracaleb]

Just gotta find the areal batman from knightfall to go with him, I've been really enjoying bane, you can get his hands together above his head like he's he's gonna do a double fist drop and it looks so sick XD

[@chaisrocha9853]

i can't believe you manage to balance the backbreaking pose without extra support

[@JoshFromBefore]

This dude is really well balanced. Check out my short 360 posing vids to see some of the other stuff I was able to pull off with this dude, I was very pleasantly surprised!

[@buzzsawgr81]

I have him preordered from gamestop (really the only place that doesn't have him sold out) and due to his price I get free shipping. he looks good but yeah, I woulda also liked alternate fist hands.

[@tombowling8646]

Good review. I hear this is the Bane to get.

[@DuplicitousDark]

looks like a combination of the video games, movie and the comic Bane. Comic Bane didnt have a tank on the back.

[@AwesomeTaro]

Can't wait for mine to come in. But god damn..McFarlane is flooding me with giant mega figs lately lol.

[@DCMultiCollector]

My current most wanted!

[@tonyalmeida5684]

Oh Todd,always so close to perfect!

[@DuplicitousDark]

the lack of a bicep swivel and some ab crunch/bend would be nice. If Hasbro can do it so can Mcfarlane.

[@knoober3756]

Makes me wanna get him even more now😍😍😍

[@cajunbatman]

I honesty didn't realize that he had as many paint apps as he does.

[@Collecterverse]

Awesome video

[@Lux.500]

Waiting for it to drop in uk i got pre order in. Just ordred my az bat do you have a review on him. Also speeding bullets batman.

[@MrScottyr86]

Too bad the paint is sloppy on him but I LOVE the look of this Bane! Love the addition of the straps! Looks like the classic Knightfall design we all know and love while at the same time giving him a more modern look. I agree that he looks like our good buddy Bones! So bad ass! :D

[@MTB214]

It looks cool. I’ll want to get it.

[@PLASTK_pizza]

I’m waiting for an Azbat 2 pack! Or a 3pc with the blue suit bats 🦇 🤘

[@darksteelsm6551]

That looks so cool! Also where did you get that Arkham Asylum gate? It looks great.

[@stevesanchez4452]

Man this bane is awesome I really hope mcfarlane makes more classic Batman villains like two face the riddler mr freeze and the penguin catwoman

[@kevrulz06]

Did you see the Mr. Freeze figure yet? It's been revealed. You can probably Google it now. Looks intriguing.

[@stevesanchez4452]

@@kevrulz06 yes I did probably one the best mr freeze figure ever by Todd mcfarlane I’m gonna be picking it up in spring 2023 and the dark knight wave And spawn wave and the new blue Batman hush I’m hyped for spring 2023

[@tonyalmeida5684]

McFarlane should’ve used that extra plastic for some fists!

[@blueblitz338]

Nice

[@The_Rage_Kage]

Just got mine in today and I love him, but I have a few issues. He needs a glove cuff on his right arm as his wrist just looks weird. I would have liked it if the harness wasn't glued and pegged into him. I wanted to go for a more accurate Knightfall Bane but I can't do that now. And he should have had alternate hands. Other than a little paint slop or lack of paint in a few areas, like the bottom of his mask, looks like he has a flesh colored cable around his neck, the figure is great.

[@obsessedfortoys]

Even from the beginning McFarlane always had problems with the paint applications. I would sit on the floor of a store and just look at four orfive of the same figure to make sure I had the best paint because they were all different. it’s really frustrating because you never know if you’re gonna get a good one or not

[@terrellsmith6715]

Lol I do the same thing…checking which paint job is the best and no scuff marks

[@kevrulz06]

So you managed to balance Bane on one foot in the back breaker pose?! I couldn't get it. I tried using one of my S.H. Figuarts stands to act as a "leg" holding his raised leg in place to keep him from falling over. I've got my Bane holding the blue variant DC1000 Batman up over his head just before the back breaker. (I also have my Page Punchers Grodd holding a limp unconscious PP Flash up in one hand slightly above eye line). Bane needed crisper paint, McFarlane's typical torso articulation and shoulder rotator cuffs, but the sculpt, and textures are amazing. He needs to stop with the elbow rotation that he's using on Mega Figs. It's much less realistic than the bicep rotation joint. I did see that you obtained custom made fists for Bane. You shouldn't have had to do this, Todd should've provided them. If he couldn't without charging more, than it only proves what I've been saying for a while now. He needs to charge $50 for Mega Figs, BUT do a more premium paint app, and include some accessories and/or swappable parts like hands or a head. I'm just so grateful that Bane's design is this and we didn't get the stereotypical luchador mask with the mouth and nose cut out. That would have ruined it for me. Based on recent figure reveals, it looks like we'll really be able to dive into the rogues galleries of Flash, Batman, and Superman. Plus, those Aquaman 2 movie figures, Mega Figs, and 12" statues are coming out next year.

McFarlane Nailed the Sculpting (again). > Meanwhile Hasbro _Legends_ breaks out another old sculpt- repaints it & calls it "A New VENOM 3 PK" (3 Old out-dated bucks).. *MOST of The Toy community Needs to wake up!* Never mind $350 Cobra Haslab HISS w/ 2 Figures Nobody wants & on TARGET Shelves sits A 16" _Lil Woodzeez_ 8lbs, hinge swinging playset for $50! Mattel's MASSIVE- over 3ft Tall _Barbie_ Dreamhouse playset (for 8"+ scaled figures) at $200 !!!

[@joshmobley7347]

Like this Bane l’ll be very happy to own it. What is “kick Starter”????

[@bobwalsh359]

Does McFarlane re-release any old figures or do they only make a certain amount then they're gone? I realllllly want this Bane for my collection but only started collecting a few months ago and cannot get him anywhere

[@everettgrijalva4778]

Do you heat up the joints or use hot water?

[@thedarkjw6219]

How tall is this manly looking bane in inches

[@redxomac5]

When did they say its Knightfall bane. Probably just a generic comic bane.

[@johnjc79]

It’s not Knightfall Bane.....

[@kairus1]

Hey great video! I was on the fence with bane but those back breaking poses are AWSOME! And please check out my channel im a sculptor.

[@TONKA-1993]

I'll be passing on this figure Unfortunately, as most of the megafigs go the elbow articulation is lazy and doesn't even reach 90° it makes the figure unposable in my eyes and they haven't even bothered to put a bicep swivel in or the pseudo butterfly joint in the shoulder he looks awesome but generally it's the articulation that I look for in these figures and this is severely lacking bane is an athletic guy he is agile for a giant and deserves proper double elbows and a bicep swivel

[@azrielrogziel4293]

How can they provide more articulation and fist to Killer Croc and not Bane is still an issue. Mcfarlane likes to evolve backwards

[@themollymachine]

[@dr.robotnik825]

too tall, ill pass

[@patientmental875]

Can always count on Mcfarlane to disappoint! I wish the DC license would get away from him! So much wasted time with it! Hes so delusional thinking hes giving fans what they want & doing a good job! Figures are either complete trash or close to being something great but missing a key feature ruining it like this one! Dont even get me started on the sculpts & design choices!

[@theotherguy21]

They're so bad they just got the license again😂

[@patientmental875]

@@theotherguy21 Yes & we can count on more ridiculous looking Batman figures nobody wants clogging up discount isles when core classic characters arent even done after how many years? Its a joke but hey continue to buy them Toddie loves you & laughs all the way to the bank!
