Hey Josh, I just want to say that you've become one of my favorite channels this year. I appreciate your balanced view on the figures and your laid back style!

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these kind words! I want this channel to be a chill place where everyone is welcome, I’m glad you dig it!

[@lalikaligopi]

@@JoshFromBefore A pleasure and after watching this video, I went and ordered Death Metal Batman, Wonder Woman and the Batcycle (all discounted BTW), and Hazmat BM but couldn't bring myself to buy the DM Superman 😆

[@JoshFromBefore]

@@lalikaligopi Hahaha can’t fault anyone for passing on DM Supes, I know I’m a weirdo for liking it so much!

[@lalikaligopi]

@@JoshFromBefore to each his own. Happy new year !

[@kadin648]

another awesome video, was on vacation and couldn’t watch it but was waiting on this one. love your channel man keep it up

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thanks for watching!

[@pandaoutbreak]

One of the first channels I came across that appreciated mcfarlanes take on dc figures, but also stating their flaws. Cheers to another year.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Cheers, thanks for watching!

[@AyoGovna]

Keep the vids coming man. I'm just starting to collect again and these are perfect.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Will do, thanks Pat!

[@bonesandthenecrozoo]

Hell yeah!!! My baby boy King Shark made the list!! Awesome list....love how you appreciate the new designs and sculpt details... I'll have to start thinking of my list ..wish you would've had BoP Harley as an honorable mention.... Ha ha ha...👍💀

[@JoshFromBefore]

I thought about throwing in honorable mentions and some other segments, but I was rushing to get this done before I left town on xmas eve. Can’t wait to see yours!!

[@tsmultiverse8956]

Great picks! Loving the channel man, I'm a HUGE DC MULTIVERSE guy myself!

[@JoshFromBefore]

Subscribed!

[@johnh.wintersjr.2092]

Much success to you and your channel 👍😇🙏!

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thank you so much John! Much appreciated

[@cmathissr46]

Good top ten man,definitely glad to see the darkfather,Lobo and swampthing up there.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thanks buddy!

[@primeboy1256]

Awesome ranking !

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thank you!

[@Novapoid]

Swamp Thing blew my expectations away. What a great looking release. I can only hope they release classic versions of Etrigan, Constantine, Phantom Stranger, Deadman & Zatanna to go along with it.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Justice League Dark is one of the teams I’m really dying for!

[@shantoochee2038]

love your videos bro, subscribed!

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thanks for watching, glad you’re digging the channel!

[@00Grunk]

Hey man, long time lurker on this channel. Just wanna say congrats on getting to over 2k subs this year, looking forward to more videos for 2022! Oh, and my list would be something like this: LKOE Batman, The Comedian, McFarlane design Batman, Darkfather, Batman Beyond, Superman Unchained Energized, Death Metal Superman, White Knight Batman (red version), Bizarro, and Three Jokers Red Hood. Honorable mentions would be Etrigan, JL Flash, and Peacemaker. Kind of a weird list, but these are the ones I've enjoyed the most.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Yo Grunk, thanks for commenting! That’s an excellent list, I came pretty close to putting Todd’s Batman on mine too.

[@benafleck1391]

Great list, man!

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thanks Ben Affleck! Loved you in Daredevil bro

[@nybackyardlegend4]

I'm surprised at some of the picks yes but these are all solid picks for sure, I'm shocked You didn't repaint the Bat cycle yet starting in January I'm gonna post vids just because I love this line but You & Bones got me motivated see ya in 2022.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Hell yeah man! Looking forward to watching them!

[@milkboy6746]

In over a year u have become one of my fav youtuberd

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoy the channel!

[@InkDropCustoms]

Good line up …this is my go to channel for reviews …. See you next year

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing more of your amazing customs in 2022!

[@pogmania]

Man I ordered that swamp thing figure from GameStop and they sent me a unpainted version I was so bummed.

[@JoshFromBefore]

That has not happened to me yet, but I’m not gonna be happy about it if it ever happens.

[@Viewmaster618]

My list Would be Batman with The Hazmat Suit, like Dr Fate, Red Hood, The Redeemer , The Drowned , Batgirl, Azreal Red Costume 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Deathstroke, & Harley Quinn. Great Video. 📷.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Great list! Thanks James!

[@lfabio.n]

Great list, I really like some figures from the Justice League movie like Cyborg, Batman and Flash, Batman Beyond turned out great despite the wings, Red Hood from the Three Jokers wave have a really nice helmet, John Stewart I think has great sculpt, masked version of Shriek and I would complete the top 10 with other figures from Justice League movie, I think they could be better but still are amazing specially considering the price

[@JoshFromBefore]

The Snyder Cut wave was full of really fun figures, but I’m not super in love with any of those costume designs. Your picks are great though!

[@hammbone8184]

Ilove the death metal line

[@ronstewart6362]

Cool vid👍. I'm a huge fan of the Snyder verse figs and I thought that Grodd was phenomenal ( platinum ). And the Batman beyond is another fig that was 🔥🔥🔥. All the three jokers were 🔥🔥🔥 and finally you can Never have enough LOBO 👍🔥🔥

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thanks Ron! The Snyder Cut figs were a ton of fun but I’m just not a big fan of the costume designs. But it was a great year for the Multiverse line all around!

[@fightincodenames481]

Awesome list .. you doing a top 10 other Mcfarlane af?

[@JoshFromBefore]

I’ll have to see if I got enough non-dc figures to see if a second list would be different enough to be worth doing. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@braxton4593]

Nice 👍

[@jamesluckey2438]

I remember when I only had like 5 of these and i could actually put something on my shelf without worrying about causing an avalanche

[@JoshFromBefore]

Haha me too, it’s been a wild ride

[@jm260584]

Cool figures got most of them except for 4 as in the UK we are still waiting on them being released! Annoying how long it takes over here.

[@RaheimFender]

Loved and accepted your list but I would have placed swamp thing at number 1 😊

[@JoshFromBefore]

It was a tough choice, he would have been a worthy number 1 for sure! Thanks Raheim!

[@masterlockie1984]

Josh ur my favourite figure review channel👍👍

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thank you!

[@cryhavoc124]

Well, I’m sold. I need a Swamp Thing now.

[@callmerick554]

Hey man I respect you for replying a lot

[@JoshFromBefore]

Thanks man, talking to people about toys is a big part of the enjoyment that I get from running the channel.

[@fortniteblackmanta1098]

Honestly don’t get the love for hazmat Batman. His face looks like it’s melting and the plastic in front of it distorts it. I like the rest of the list though!

[@Legendoflight1]

Hey man love the list, I think it's so interesting how different our tastes are while I kinda see similar things in what we appreciate in this line haha My list would be 10 Last knight wonder woman 9 omega (love having alt hands I can swap out with other characters like batman beyond also the textures and butterfly joints are perfect) 8 grodd (really unique silhouette and complimentary articulation) 7 jl flash 6 death metal bats 5 batwoman beyond (sleeper hit for me probably my favourite female figure I own apart from maybe icons harley) 4 batman beyond (gorgeous sculpt just wish he had a better torso) 3 joker bot (horrible story but the figure is done so well) 2 JL cyborg ( the chest paint is his only flaw love that he doesn't look like a guy in a suit like a lot of cyborg designs do) 1 Shreik (Minus the elbow pegs I think this guy is perfect) I just realised how long this comment is so I'm sorry🤣 but man I love hearing you talk about figures it's nice being able to have these spaces to chat haha

[@JoshFromBefore]

Never apologize for a long comment! I love your list and the reasons behind your choices. One of the great things about this line is the variety of source materials and art styles, there’s something for everyone!

[@weeold]

Yeah I’d prob disagree with a couple but good list. Some of them haven’t hit the UK like another commenter said but comedian joker so looking forward to!! I just got the death metal Batcycle yesterday while out spending some Christmas money. Like someone else said you should do another top 10 of just other figures too

[@JoshFromBefore]

I’m thinking about it, I’ll have to see what non-DC figures I picked up this year, and if it feels like enough to warrant a second list!

[@weeold]

@@JoshFromBefore fair enough doesn’t need to be just McFarlane ones can be anything else figure wise. Not sure if you do as not seen much other than McFarlane on the channel

[@JoshFromBefore]

@@weeold I didn’t really pick up much non-McFarlane stuff this year, I got some Marvel Legends for customs and preordered Figma’s Sam Porter Bridges, that’s pretty much it.

[@weeold]

@@JoshFromBefore Awh well let’s hope there’s plenty non dc McFarlane. I mean the spawn line is epic looking,don’t have any myself, MK11 is cool I’ve got one of each character not all classic suits and got Kotal Kahn and Joker on pre order think it’s due out very soon in uk. You’ve done princess bride too sure you’ll have a 10 in there

[@JoshFromBefore]

@@weeold That is very true! I’ll be back home after NYE and I’ll try to put it together. I appreciate your interest and making a compelling point!

[@mrtraveller2020]

I live in UK, I could not believe my luck yesterday! I found the Harley Quinn (gold pants, roller skates) for only 10 pounds in a discount store. usually online they are about 15 pounds!!!!!!

[@elliotbaltazar]

Where did you see that the Gold Label Hazbat would have better paint apps? I haven't found a photo or video of a production copy to see that. Mcfarlane production toys rarely have the paint we see on promo pics. I wish they did though. 👍👍👍

[@JoshFromBefore]

Check out the promo photos of the Gold Label version, his paint apps are considerably different!

[@elliotbaltazar]

@@JoshFromBefore Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I checked out their promo shots before and they never make it to retail like that. LOL! I wish they would. I would be pleasantly surprised if this one did.

[@JoshFromBefore]

@@elliotbaltazar I’m not sure what you mean about paint apps in the promo shots not making it to retail. Occasionally there are discrepancies but usually it’s wysiwyg.

[@liandopus9922]

Hey, can you tell me what led did you use in your shelf back there? Did you add it yourself or already included when you buy the shelf. Great recap otherwise

[@JoshFromBefore]

Those are IKEA Dioder lights (purchased separately from the IKEA Detolf cabinet), they come in packs of 4 lights, and I used two of those 4-packs on that shelf. I like them but there might be similar options for slightly cheaper elsewhere

[@liandopus9922]

@@JoshFromBefore thanks for the heads up. I see, will try to find something similar to that with cheaper price I guess

[@alexandergoodman9292]

I agree with this list for the most part. The only surprising thing is that there were no Spawn figures, unless that will be a separate list. But great list and great channel!

[@theotherguy21]

It's only dc figures

[@alexandergoodman9292]

@@theotherguy21 My bad, somehow I missed that! Hopefully there is another list, I think it would be great to see some other companies and figure lines ranked.

[@gerrysabron]

awesome list, also because I have them, 😅 Im eclectic in buying figures from each line, but how McF syndicates his waves, you think youre just buying 7 Snyder cut figs & youre complete, at the end of the year, I was like, I got 50 McF figures?!!!

[@JoshFromBefore]

They’re just too fun to turn down!

[@actionfigurescollectionssu7854]

I almost got all those figures for my collections

[@joemc2007]

I need to get swamp thing

[@JoshFromBefore]

Hell yeah you do, he kicks ass!

[@nickmandl]

Lol I will never understand ur love of that wonder woman’s face. She’s my fav Wonder Woman by McFarlane by far, but I still feel like her face is missing personality and the thick black around her eyes doesn’t resemble mascara the way it was meant to.

[@JoshFromBefore]

Smokey eyeliner, not mascara!

[@alexjoca244]

You tried to compare the swamp thing to the surtur from thor

[@JoshFromBefore]

I compared an oversized retail comic book based figure from one line to an oversized retail comic book based figure from another line. But yeah, Surtur is a baby’s bath toy compared to swamp thing

[@alexjoca244]
