I need this figure to go with my story ideas. He definitely has that mastermind look.

[@anakinskywalker9453]

You should go back and watch The Dark Knight Rises it was definitely a good ending for the trilogy

[@Leidungr000]

yes!

[@Friendly_Neighborhood_Edgelord]

Yeah it was, but I feel like a better ending was the ending for the Dark Knight TBH I don't think a third movie was necessary, I like the Dark Knight Rises, I just don't think it was necessary

[@Forza-G7]

@@Friendly_Neighborhood_Edgelord so you’d rather it end on Batman being hunted? Vs an aging Batman and Alfred and Gordon all getting closure endings. 😂

[@mrthorsstone1241]

This looks almost dead on to how he looked in the movie. The cowl with the small amount of damage is from the poster, and the half cowl is from the movie after Bane breaks Batman's back. He's also supposed to be a tad shorter than Batman.

[@khadorstrong]

Just got this guy in, he's one of my favorite figures, and I'm glad I have him. He's awesome IMO

[@midsectionmark8956]

Jay Tick what’s the best Batman to get with him that’s close to scale?

[@khadorstrong]

@@midsectionmark8956 I went with the Figuarts Dark Knight Batman, it scales up perfectly. I have them standing in the pose from DKR where Bane is holding Batman's fist and it fits perfectly

[@danielthomas3634]

I was gonna pick this guy up on sale used but then I saw your video and the size...it was enough to change my mind. Thank you for the video.

[@Futwang]

Nice bane impression at the end man. Lmao

[@Mizthegr8]

Damn this figure looks so great but Mafex really screwed up the scale. He doesn’t fit well with neither Figuarts nor Mafex Bale Bats. I know Tom Hardy is 5’9” in real life but they portrayed him much larger & imposing in the movie. Then again, Figuarts screwed up the scale with Justice League Batfleck. It’s a shame because this figure looks really nice but because of the scale, I won’t buy it.

[@Leidungr000]

yes, scale is important, some collectors don't mind so much, but i'm one of the ones who does

[@user-er4ez4di4m]

Good review, thanks for this review.

[@universalblak72]

Great video. Curious on those grey & black mercenary soldiers which goes well with Bane, what's the name brand of them. Thanks.

[@david108]

@D Amazing what head sculpt did you use for the figures with the demolition man body at 9:31

[@timsimon1118]

Great review. Who is the character at 7:39 of the review? Don’t think I’ve ever seen him before. Thanks much

[@jamest5153]

They fight eye to eye so no big difference in height in the movie. Another great review 👍

[@GreenLanternPrime01]

Cool review. It would have been great if Bane was about an inch taller. Your figure posing is on point!

[@55batmanandjoker]

Awesome how he fits with sh figuarts, thats great, cause i have the sh figurarts darkknight aswell , the hight and evreything is perfect actually cause he was at most the same size as batman in the movie and tom hardy is shorter than bale they obviously tried to make him biger in the movie so that he atleast matches batmans size , very cool review man and DUDE! Watch the dark knight rises its really good, wow the disciplin it must take not having seen it till now , im impressed , it has some flaws but is really reeeally good with some epic moments , bane is one of the best things about it and the dark knight rises is good enough to be viewed together with beginns and tdk , as one of the best trilogys ever maybe even the best , defenently ey worthy conclussion to the trilogy and when we see what dc is doing now with for example ssquad or justice leauge(ouhh what ey letdown that was) than you apriciate it all the more.

[@Kitbats]

I think if I can find a custom masked bane head I'd totally dig this figure. Yes the scale kinda breaks bane but I don't have a lot of space to pose him anyway if he were big so I'm lovin the human scale.

[@estebandiaz6630]

The figure is pretty darn accurate to the film

[@extratrash1669]

I’m sure no one’s going to see this but should I get mafex bane or joker to go with my Batman

[@HartKu]

He looks really good. Still too skeptical about MAFEX to buy another figure from them, but this does make it hard to stay away.

[@tek081]

finally a good skin tone from mafex

[@iamtheAwesomo3000]

Just curious how you got this guy so fast from overseas?

[@Leidungr000]

i'm probably repeating what others have said, but you need to see the movie, the whole trilogy is absolutely amazing

[@michaelbuck1471]

Are maffex figures mostly 6 or 7 inches?

[@mr.sonnytruth8021]

Yeah that bane was mad short in the movie but really strong of course so he's about right as far as scale goes

[@saiyajind-jasutin1980]

Mafex smaller?? Thats a first, is it not

[@merra85]

Needs abit more height and bulk.. but i still gonna get this.

[@bimantara_ali]

cool

[@merzadmohammadi5528]

hah!, "be good, do good, drink your water mr wayne!" brilliant

[@spaceghost279]

He looks a lil small sure but he wasn’t of monsterous proportions like in the comics and he does look quality, too bad he’s not taller than all the other SHF and MaFex Batman related characters but I will say that film is worth watching for Tom Hardy’s performance alone, I love the comic version but really enjoyed his take on the character.

[@the90sVampire]

Wht would u compare it to dredd and not the one 12 batman... i wanted to see how they scale..

[@the90sVampire]

FillerBunny NinjaShark daaaaaamn bane a lil shorty cakes. One 12 Batfleck looks more like bane haha

[@_JamaicA_77]

Nice review but u forgot the torso articulation lol it's cool though ur pics at the end sort of helped

[@ephin3242]

No he didn’t. 4:00

[@SpoonDude]

Tom Hardy was shorter than Bale if I remember correctly, and in many scenes he had to wear elevator shoes

[@kaleodos]

If SHF does not at least announce they are making Bane by the time their Selina releases I will be getting this guy. Btw watch TDK triology, those are fantastic films

[@jakea75]

Overpriced figures. How much did this retail at ? I know it’s a little older but some of these mafex figures sell for ridiculous amounts

[@jonmulyk]

Shame about this guy. Love bane in the Nolan universe. Thought it looked great, but scaling ruined it. That and the rising price tag with MAFEX Great review as always!

[@caveresch]

Damn I wish I'd have gotten these but now everyone wants $200-300 for these so I'm screwed.

[@mehtaabsandhu6969]

Very weird how u haven't seen one of the best movies ever made. The Nolan series are what make comic book based movies relevant today.

[@-Anonymous-.]

mehtaab sandhu raimi first.. then Nolan

[@trrpz2083]

Bane is not a big dude in the movie, his a good fighter though, should definitely watch it man, its a good one.

[@brolynice2437]

Your the best youtuber #first

[@ephin3242]

broly nice You’re*

[@pyjamagenie]

I know Bane should probably be bigger given the lifts Hardy wore in some scenes, but Tom Hardy is about 5"9' and Christian Bale is about 6". The comparison between this guy and SHF bats looks tight!

[@benjaminadiwidjaja889]

well, if +d_amazing into DC thing, maybe you would like i the movie too :)

[@dobi287]

Good looking out I should have never watched it either. After you get over it being bad it's a funny joke to watch

[@Janjibro66]

Bane being smaller than Batman just doesn’t make sense. He’s not supposed to be smaller than Batman in the movie that’s why they gave Hardy lifts. There were times where you could see through the movie magic and notice how short bane is but that’s not what they were aiming for. Mafex scale failure confirmed

[@CMCustom112]

Mini Me Bane. He should have been the size of the Deadshot. Ridiculous.

[@jbebop871]

Damn that scale kills the figure so bad smh what a shame

[@connerklein2873]

In the dark knight trilogy, Batman was about 6 ft. tall, while Bane was about 6 ft. 2 in.

[@Bingo_the_Pug]

They should've added shading to the arms. They look so bland without it. And to all those complaining about the scale, if you know Mafex then you know they'll probably make a Bane 2.0 in the near future so you can skip this version if ya want

[@Novapoid]

Sculpt and paint is really good, I'm glad MAFEX is improving cause this year I'm gonna try a couple of their releases that have no SHF counterparts (Robocop). Having said that, even if you have never watched TDKR just plain observation will tell you that Bane's torso was clearly NOT meant to be displayed without the coat: yes, it does include the optional arms to do so...but it looks like it's missing parts and the anatomy becomes very weird. Size-wise it kinda ruins the illusion the movie desperately tried to go for (which is Bane being bigger than Baleman) so I dunno about that...

[@bosshova23]

Bruh...you never watched the movie?????????

[@KnightfallBane01]

Okay so he is so small Tom hardy was 5’9 and wore heels to look taller but this is a little ridiculous he should have been 7inch at the very least

[@Janjibro66]

KnightfallBane01 He wasn’t meant to be THAT much taller than Batman in the film. With the lifts he was just about the same height as Batman

[@KnightfallBane01]

That Batman in this video is shf Batman and he’s the same height

[@KnightfallBane01]

Shf is 6 inch mafex is traditionally 7inch this Bane is the same height if not smaller than a shf Batman so if the mafex Batman comes out and is normal mafex heghit at 7inch he’s going to fight baby Bane

[@Janjibro66]

KnightfallBane01 Nope SHF Dark Knight Batman is taller. Which to me def seems wrong Bane is about the same as Ledger Joker. And the SS Leto Joker is about the same height as Ledger Joker. I own the Leto Joker figure and it is super short!!! Which means this Bane is super short too

[@Janjibro66]

KnightfallBane01 Yep I don’t think Mafex is in the 7” scale tho. Normally they’re in between 6- 6 3/4. With TDK Batman 3.0 coming out, unless they’ve made him shorter than previous the Dark Knight Batman he’s going to scale pretty poorly with this Bane. Ideal size for this figure would’ve been around the same size as the Mafex Deadshot( Mafex made all the Suicide Squad figures too big) but the size of that Deadshot figure would’ve worked for Bane. Ah, I can make it work once I get them in some fighting poses won’t even notice the height difference

[@Janjibro66]

OMFG he’s smaller than SHF JL Batman!!!!!!!! lmao

[@FroggyGeezer]

That Bane is WAY too small, both in build and height. He does look movie accurate other than that lol. Thanks for the review, now I know to pass on this fig.

[@ryantheanimator1156]

I'd wait for the MEZCO version if they're gonna make one.

[@xavierrose1220]

Ryan Tran good luck with that one probably won't make one in years

[@Janjibro66]

just wait for bane 2.0 it’s already been announced

[@DemetedP]

Build-wise he's actually mostly accurate (Hardy's Bane wasn't THAT big and he's about the same size as Batman in the movie). The problem lies in the fact that they hollowed out the section around his shoulders and carved out his back muscles, all for the sake of making room for the coat which ends up making his torso look smaller without the coat on. Otherwise, the chest, arms and height are all close to accurate size for Hardy Bane.

[@bunnyfreakz]

It's accurate. Tom Hardy Bane is rather short figure. They fucked up Deadshoot though.

[@shutupfahad]

Bane in dark knight rise are shorter then Batman lmaoooo

[@jakea75]

Not a toy. I get so mad when my gf calls my collectibles and figures toys. lol

[@Jacob.Brostrom]

2nd

[@brolynice2437]

JBroFilms early squad

[@Jacob.Brostrom]

broly nice 👊🏻

[@NoahR_]

I was really looking forward to this figure but the height's really letting me down. He's supposed to be a big guy.

[@ICanWatchVideosfor18]

RaginSpartan86 for you

[@JunkyardFox]

Dude why would you buy and review a figure from a film you never saw? sure you can notice paint apps and articulation but you'd be missing a big aspect of what makes that character, the little subtleties in body language that was sculpted, facial expression etc. do yourself and watch the damn film, it's lightyears better than anything warner bros has made in years. don't be a poser, man.

[@Janjibro66]

Junkyard Fox Not everyone likes TDKR. I’m a huge Batman fan and i thought it was trash.

[@JunkyardFox]

Conspiracy TV sure, you don't have to think it's the greatest, but have you seen the last few D.C. films? They're dog shit. If you don't like it, cool, but don't bother reviewing a toy from the movies, that's just half assed.

[@Janjibro66]

Junkyard Fox I’ve liked everything they’ve done with the DC Universe more than what Nolan was doing except for Batman Begins. But Wonder Woman and BvS we’re far better than Nolan films. And come on man he can review whatever figures he wants

[@kanedahuang]

I agree he can review whatever figures he want. But arguing WW and BVS were far better than any of the Nolan trilogies simply isn't valid.

[@midnightdavy5784]

Begone! To the Junkyard that you belong!!!!

[@_JamaicA_77]

He is suppose to be bigger then Batman even in the movie he is

[@Janjibro66]

Suneil Cohen In the movie you can actually see Batman is bigger than Bane in the second fight scene when Bane is recklessly punching all those pillars

[@ryantheanimator1156]

Ok, now MAFEX is really dropping the ball with the size here. Bane is supposed to be bigger than Batman in the movie, just like in the animated version. MAFEX seriously needs to do more homework about making more accurate scale.

[@ephin3242]

Ryan Tran They need to scale their figures with SH Figuarts?

[@ryantheanimator1156]

No, to make their figures in scale with each other. Do you see how big MAFEX Ben Affleck Batman and Joker compared to MAFEX Bane? Bane should have been bigger than any of the MAFX Suicide Squad or BVS figures, and the MAFEX figures have some serious size consistency problem. This Bane is so shorty that I'm glad I didn't preorder it.

[@sergiopeixoto4261]

Nope. If you search, Tom Hardy is smaller than Christian Bale about 10 centimeters (about 4 inches). So, the size is perfect

[@ephin3242]

Sérgio Peixoto they had Tom hardy wear heals to appear taller. In the movie, that size isn’t accurate.

[@ryantheanimator1156]

Sergio Peixoto FYI, the movie used height boosting shoes like Ethan Aguirre said + some camera trick to make Tom Hardy appear taller than Bale. metro.co.uk/2011/09/13/tom-hardy-needs-height-boosting-shoes-on-batman-the-dark-knight-rises-148479/

[@Janjibro66]

It looks so awkward with the sleeveless arms omg

[@bunnyfreakz]

Never watch The Dark Knight. Wtf wrong with you, man?

[@Janjibro66]

bunnyfreakz that’s not eye to eye tho,shf batman is quite a bit taller

[@Janjibro66]

Can’t believe you’ve never seen TDKR. It’s ok, the film was a shitty Batman movie!!!!
