To be fair, the Batmobeast was a definite pass for me, but the custom work and modifications you put into it have really taken it to a whole new level, that thing looks so sick as a display piece in your collection!!

[@jbacunn]

Nice choice on the motorcycle. I think a lot of people passed on it and it can still be found at a big discount. The amount of detail on it is amazing at that price point.

[@fslayer1290]

I LOVE that one of the Joker Dragon heads is mounted on the Batmobeast! Your custom work rocks! 😊

[@rob_colt.4577]

Gotta say, You definitely made that batmobeast into something crazy original. If you can do that with the batmobeast you can probably make a regular rc vehicle into something super awesome! I know I have way too many figures accessories in bags that I never even use, It’s a crazy good idea to just attach those things all over.. Great customization!

[@deadlydragon222]

Great list Josh great to have you back! Been a great year for figs

[@Ivankich]

Good to see you back, it’s been a minute. Great stuff once again

[@Bongman42088]

*Siiiiick list! HAPPY NEW YEAR!*

[@markg.2135]

Wow those Batmobeast modifications you did are f*ckin awesome

[@LIAM0316]

Amazing top 20 man luv your channel and your poses your the reason I'm strung out on mcfarlane figures

[@invictusbat7225]

Great review thanks

[@tobyohara7002]

Such an awesome job with the poses for presentation!

[@ianramirez2684]

I was wating for your list! Favorite reviews of the year in mcfarlane in par with necro bonezz Thank you for all your effort, such a refreshing perspective of the hobby!

[@edselrivera2085]

Interesting choices. Good list

[@salamwati9281]

What a list Josh..coup de grace. Yr varied selection makes for an interesting viewing.👍🏿👍🏽👍🏾

[@cryhavoc124]

The drifter bike really surprised me here. It’s something I’ve always seen but never actually purchased. Maybe I’ll rethink that next time I see one.

[@bobwalsh359]

That Bane is number one for me. Its the last figure I want for my collection and it's sold out everywhere 😢 It just makes it look even better every time I see it

[@fightincodenames481]

Great list .

[@TIMMUT17]

I loved the Blackest Night Batman. Probably my favorite McFarlane of the year. I traded with some guy over the arms of the Joker Bot BAF, just cause I thought it seemed like a good deal. I was surprised at the articulation, only thing I didn't like was the eyes. Thought they looked goofy, but I removed the paint and I also added some vampire fangs to him just for fun, and he looks sick.

[@Ryan-mh5ge]

It's been a good year. Looking forward to this. Bane and Azbat Knightfall a couple of my favorites

[@Seeker_Blade]

Great list bro! My #1 is that knightfall Azbat! Happy new year!

[@jeanfrejuste6514]

Josh!!! Great top 20!

[@alexrosado3933]

Late to the party, new here. Man, yer number 1 really made me see it in a different light ! Fraggin awesome 👌

[@victorcantu4529]

Dang Batmobeast coming in from behind for the win!! I would say that I have probably gotten more miles of fun out of this thing than a lot of other figs I got this year. I have not stopped modding it since I got it.

[@AFemmeCentipede]

you really killed it with the batmobeast, that thing looks bonkers good, like, you need to be personally recognised by todd for that, win some kind of prize or something

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

Great list! I definitely got more into McFarlane releases this year, there were some I picked up and later sold, some I regret doing that with, but I was still glad to work out just what I wanted to collect, whilst trying out new lines like the Warhammer 40K line. There were also plenty of great DC offerings, in fact that's been the focus of my collecting for the last two months or so, especially the more generic looks for characters. There's loads of figures I didn't get that are tempting, I'd love Constantine, Deadman and Swamp Thing for a JLD display, Man-Bat I really like but don't know how I feel about some design choices they made, and I am tempted by that Rebirth Batman, but I think I'll hold out for that blue Hush version, like you I don't care much for the Rebirth design. My top 10 would be: 10. Comedian Joker- (love the atmosphere of the head sculpt, just wish he had more paint on the coat) 9. Atrocitus- (a nice clean version of the character, just wish the shoulder pads didn't get in the way as much) 8. Arkham Asylum Killer Croc- (love this character and this design, just wish the colours were a bit darker and that he wasn't so limited in movement) 7. Riddler (The Batman)- (A really striking design that looks great just standing there with a slight head tilt, plus I liked what the film did with the character) 6. Clown Joker- (Easily my favourite McFarlane Joker, great head sculpt but I don't think it's very comic accurate, if it were it might've been my all-time favourite Joker figure) 5. Clayface- (A really awesome looking display piece, loads of sculpted detail, I don't mind the restricted movement save for wishing the head could turn side to side more) 4. Bane- (A great generic design for Bane and easily the best Megafig in terms of movement, it's the only one I have that I feel has plenty of posing and display options) 3. Tyranid Genestealer- (just an awesome alien creature design and a super well engineered figure) 2. Arkham City Penguin- (I love classic Batman villains, and this design is pretty much the perfect Penguin design for me with its balance of modern and classic aspects, plus it's really well painted and as you said a striking body shape) 1. Arkham Knight Scarecrow (standard)- (my favorite Batman villain and one of my favourite designs for him, didn't think I'd like the choice of black over dark brown for the coat, but the darkness of the figure really gives a creepy effect to the face giving him lots of shelf presence)

[@blueblitz338]

Great video

[@JaredK511]

Nice list! You just convinced me to get that Drifter motorcycle haha. It's gonna look sick when paired with my custom commando Spawn. And my collection could use more motorcycles. I only have the one that came with the Marvel Legends Ghost Rider.

[@joel94543]

She-Spawn was probably my favorite from this year

[@EvictedConvict]

Let's go I love the list my favorite one is still the batman ranking one

[@sergiojrflores8293]

Bro your batmobeast is freaking rad my boy no lie I was anxious to see your number one choice and it really made me want to get one and design my own as well dude I wish it could be sold that way great stuff 💯

[@royal5922]

Nice choices im surprised there is no knightfall azbat, speeding bullets or shadow of spawn figures. They are all in my top 5 this year with bane and deathstroke

[@sligvader]

Great chart! You nailed it with Roach and Soul Crusher! I know that the munitions pack is not a figure but it is an outstanding must have McFarlane release.

[@DC-Supreme]

Neither was his batmobeast lol but that took his top spot on the list anyways

[@judgedoomentertainmentnetwork]

Great video. New sub. 👍😀

[@tonyyuu3421]

Very cool top! Mcfarlane nail it in 2022 with awesome figures, in three years over passed Hasbro line, just in my opinion the Banshee should be in Top 3, what a gorgeous figure ❤

[@gerrysabron]

I was wise enough to listen and looked for that Batcycle, and found them 50% on Amazon... ;)

[@Destro-zw9ig]

Great #1 pick because Hasbro would never give us anything like that for it's price point, and it has rubber tires

[@busymike]

16:53 Damn that looks cool.

[@skaknight9291]

Kick ass list

[@Kevsspot]

Dang no swamp thing or Frankenstein?

[@scottsparks9199]

The amp suit is an exact rerelease of the mold they made for the original avatar. me and a few buddies still have multiples because they ended up at family dollar for $5 each after the original avatar about 10 years ago lol we painted and customized a ton of them.

[@JoshFromBefore]

No, it is not an exact rerelease of the Mattel mold.

[@scottsparks9199]

@@JoshFromBefore Idk man I cant find any differences.

[@JoshFromBefore]

@@scottsparks9199 It’s not an exact release of the Mattel mold, idk what to tell you man. Are you holding both of them in your hand right now and comparing them? For one, the rack at the top of the arm where the ammo belt rests is shaped differently. They’re different sizes. They have different articulation.

[@sergeantgarlic3792]

Yeah, Roach is the Best Mad max vibe on #1

[@tombowling8646]

A solid list, Josh. I can't argue any of your picks. I do, however, think you're doing yourself a huge disservice by avoiding the Silver Bullets Batman. Check it out. Almost all the reviews of this figure absolutely gush over it. I picked it up myself and love it. It's definitely one of McFarlane's best. And talk about the fun factor, it looks great in almost any flying pose you put it in.

[@SylenceEturnal]

I had horrible luck with the Joker Titan. Got 1 from Amazon and 1 off Ebay and both of them broke at the elbow joint on their right arm when I tried to move them. I even heated the second one up before trying to move anything on it and it still did the same thing. Thankfully, I was able to return them both and get a refund. Not sure I want to try a third one.

[@chickenpit9991]

Not completely sold on some of the figures, but man the way you justify why you include each figure makes me want to buy them now lol.

[@joshmobley7347]

Josh From Before: Hell Yeah, Man Great Toy….”The Batmobeast” I didn’t think the Shell was Ugly??? Just “Wild” grabbed me soon as I saw it in the Toy aisle.Bought it for my Birthday back in June, Just took it out of the Display box last week! To set it up with some of my other “bat-vehicles”The Batman:Year2 is Another Favorite figure, though I display mine with the Huge Cape!!! That’s the reason I got it(visually Stunning)Also that Bane Action Figure is “bat-tas-tic” but I haven’t gotten it Yet…and Oh Yes!!! That Dark Detective: Batman is Nuts….Love it! Out of my 65-70 DC Multiverse McFarlane Toys Action Figures I’ve Collected about 35 are Batman, have you done or will be doing a Video on those??? Thanks for Sharing! ✌️🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@xeleven1310]

You put a good amount of money in that batmobeast

[@_l1ghtsk1n_jesus_53]

The batmobeast is really cool... I just dont have ghe space for it.... Idk how in gonna fit that upcoming batwing in my room

[@pologrim2]

Im at #9 now idk if that would be my number 1 but probably cant wait to see where Constantine ranks

[@weeold]

Good list man I got one of those Tyrannid Genestealers too and they are bad ass stand in for white Martians. The rebirth Batman I wanted to love and be my main but they under-scaled compared to like every bat a family and justice leaguer that’s been out makes him look tiny. If he was a tad bit bigger I’d say he’s best Batman. Three Jokers body Batman is best for me even though I don’t like the head/neck situation Also you doing anymore list videos? Think you should do end of year custom showcase!

[@morkymoose9590]

Doom guy slaps

[@cristoreyeslopez2994]

Bro, the banshee es the #1!!!

[@nahummiqueasvazquez77467]

Video hace batman joker

[@danielgambito9962]

I bet number 1 is bane…

[@dahhmlife]

I'd put money on the mech suit.

[@uscm223]

Green jelly didn’t notice you used your intro tune from SNES maximum carnage yet apparently.

[@invictusbat7225]

Dude mcfarlane should have given us a ZSJL knightmare batman

[@pologrim2]

Hey bro how many of those flight stands do you have ? Currently have only 1 that came with super man

[@joshmobley7347]

Still have Throne Spawn action Figure from years ago,Always one of my Favorite Spawn figures! And I’ve been Collecting McFarlane Toys since Todd started his Company!!! Movie Maniacs,is a a GREAT Series, along with all the other Action Figures in the McFarlane Brand!!! The Sports line: Football, Baseball,Hockey,Basketball, Armed Forces: all 3 Branches, & so many More! But the DC Multiverse McFarlane Toys Action Figures Line are the Ones I Collect mostly for the Last 3years, Especially their take on the Batman! And I try to get them All! The Batman from all over the Multiverse in Stories that are familiar, and some completely unknown! Even a BAT-figure Designed by Todd,”Bat-tas-tic” for me McFarlane is the Leader in the(affordable) Toy “Game” right No!!! Thanks for sharing your toy picks for 2022…..✌️🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@nickmandl]

No joker dragon??

[@kdavr7724]

No Violator?!

Didn’t come out this year

[@kdavr7724]

[@ElenaGunerergin-kr8mk]

The banshee is soon good I'm going to get it the Jake sully's banshee but banshee for the 6th one is a pretty good number can you do a video that you color your banshee ??

[@markt5090]

your batmobeast is so fucking cool

[@MrYale007]

Pretty shocking list. Much respect. Surprised Infected Batman, Infected Joker, Frankenstein and Winter King didn't make the cut. Agree with Joker Titan, Dark Detective, and Constantine. My #1 is probably Joker Titan. figure is so crazy versatile. i also think DKR Robin knocks it out of the park. Batmobeast being your number 1 makes sense with how you moded it. but to say it's #1, especially at the original price point, straight out of the box, is sorta shocking.

[@headshot217]

Man bat should have open palms and bane should have fists makes them a pass for me sadly because they are otherwise almost spot on

[@remylebau2728]

And the Scarrecrow Arkham Knight ???

[@greggiovanni4788]

I have my grifter on a drifter bike

[@ricardovargas2422]

And The Clown, Violator?

They didn’t come out this year?

Your batmobeast looks awesome man, I get this is your list but how are you gonna have a vehicle number 1 on a top 20 action figure list? That thing is killer but it’s not a figure lol

[@bunnyfreakz]

I don't get it why you love so much Bat Dark Detective ? Not bad but not that good for me IMO.

[@DCMultiCollector]

Amazing list! Appreciate the love for the Avatar figures. In terms of DC Multiverse, I did my own list and it’s crazy how little overlap there is (kzbin.info/www/bejne/on6YY6ajqM2eqJY ). I think it’s a testament to how many great products McF put out this year. Just awesome

[@danielgambito9962]

All people love the Batman Rebirth.. I don’t like the suit and the scale…

[@weeold]

Think someone’s scamming your comments man using your channel thumbnail and everything

Thanks for the heads up, got them blocked now.

[@bud_kleric2771]

Shouldn't Number 1 be a tie bc it's also the 88 Batmobile.
