BEST batman line

[@gesie0504]

Just to share with guys, I LOVE THIS STORY LINE OF BATMAN. rather than BATMAN V SUPERMAN Snider Version. 1. The Dark Knight Returns 1 & 2 2. Batman Under the Red Hood

[@ryantheanimator1156]

@@gesie0504 Ah, I see you have very good taste in DC animated movies.

[@noosedogg7845]

For Batman, black and gray, but a really nice deep blue looks really cool as well. With the lighter blue I find it too flat.

[@iampoch01]

Yup. Black and grey for me, too. It's also makes more tactical sense than an all black, especially given the time and environment he operates on.

[@TheSpiderWarden]

Black and grey for me. I like how it contrasts with Superman

[@meneliktafari894]

Fantastic!!! Really enjoy how you take your time and assess everything regarding how the figure is engineered. As a collector in this economy I have to take into account price point and quality,,, Great Job!!!

[@nicholassilva3028]

The black and grey is a favorite. If an all black approach is taken, I like to see various textures and finishes like gloss, matte, metallic, carbon fiber etc. that way they catch and bounce light in different ways.

[@darkvenom46]

I’ve always preferred the blue and gray color scheme. Although, with something like The Dark Knight Returns incarnation of the character, black and gray looks and works better.

[@gamingwithluis5982]

I love this look for Batman

[@StevieBoy215]

I like how they did Bens Suit in BVS. I love the dark grey and black the most

[@MrLurchsThings]

Re: the cape on the Hush Batman. All the initial reviews on him gushed, which shouldn’t surprise. But yeah, later reviews pointed out that there is just too much cape. Have you see a custom cape for it yet? Has anyone worked out how to remove the cowl to put one in?

[@dankmemer2774]

Check out d star’s cape swapping on the hush batman. He did mention that permanent modifications had to be made including that one tab had to be clipped, but that didn’t really affect much on the figure.

[@surewin1773]

Blue/Gray, Black/Gray, Black/Black in that order, which is why I was planning on holding off for the Batman/Carrie Kelley 2 pack. I was actually on the fence of getting the 2 pack because Mafex has been hit or miss lately, but this review convinced me to preorder. Thanks, and great review!

[@gmoney1664]

Glad it's turned out well, it looks good! Same - Blue/grey, black/grey, black/black

[@joehume3624]

One of my fav Batman figures EVER and will definitely be in my 2020 top 5 hands down. I'm even really cool with the pleaded cape because the way they did it actually helps taking great dynamic photography. But I guess it might be an issue for people who just want a cape that hangs down nicely on a shelf. Not my case so I'm super happy with this figure. Makes me wanna throw my Mafex Hush Batman to the trash.

[@dealpha3698]

Blue and grey I love the 1970's cartoon batman color combination

[@isaiahhighley8959]

Personally I love the blue and gray palette for Batman, black and gray is a close second

[@nhyar]

Blue and Gray. I grew up watching the Super Friends cartoon every morning while having breakfast before school time, so that color scheme brings back good memories. I'm probably going to get the version that comes with Carrie Kelly but I'm almost sure that one will come with no Batarangs, but it's fine, I just want the thicc blue and gray Batman lol.

[@kattdacat3715]

Black and grey

[@a7xtherevrend]

*Anthony coughs* Me: SIR

[@legend98ish]

I prefer black on grey always! And sometimes blue and grey.

[@akhiljks]

12:56 That's what she said!

[@jax1687]

So glad its a great figure as I cancelled my pre order for the Hush Batman almost solely based on the absurdly large cape. This isn't my favorite Batman but its too cool not to have in the collection. Oh and my preferred look is Grey/Blue.

[@raven0696]

Ant, I just got the Mafex TDKR Superman. Now, I know you mentioned you're not a big Supes fan, but I highly, highly recommend it. It is incredible. If you liked this Batman, you'll love the Supes. Plus, they'll look incredible together.

[@nicholassilva3028]

The cape looks like Alfred forgot the softener and dryer sheets and Bruce just pulled it from the laundry bag.

[@thetrasharoundmyplastic6342]

Black & Grey or all Black like a real Bat

[@bee-beargaming]

Black & Gray is a classic for me but I also really love black on black.

[@keeganodonnell936]

Black and grey has to be my favourite scheme but I can still see the appeal of the other colours.

[@Yats6417]

For me it's Black and Grey ! Suits Batman's character alot :D

[@AlanatorTheGreat]

I'm with you on the blue and grey

[@diegoborges3716]

My nostalgic side leans to blue and gray, but I like black and gray too.

[@stephana.j.]

Nice review, still deciding to get this or the Hush version. I think this is a better figure but doesn't go well with other figures

[@thefont9]

The blue one is looking like it's going to have that bigger cape. at least from what I can tell.

[@bashcrash9148]

I no longer collect Mafex figures but this guy looks great.

[@AnttronGamingAnttron224]

The blue and gray has always been a favorite of mine

[@calvinj7496]

My go to is black and grey but depends in the story he is in too. Sometimes blue and gray works and the tim burton batman the black and black i think works perfect.

[@porassrivastava8242]

Your question is tough but black and gray always although ironically all my favorite Batman comics have mostly blue and gray batmen. Hush, TDKR, long Halloween, dark victory.

[@MrLurchsThings]

Really torn between blue on grey and black on grey. But if pushed, black on grey.

[@msm1865]

This is an awesome figure I honestly like all the forms of Batman such as the blue and grey, black and grey and black on black, I do like Batman being in the dark so I perfer the two black forms but I still do like the blue one very much and I just love the fat Batman and this figure looks exactly like the comic and it is amazing.

[@AlphaProto]

Very cool looking figure. I really like the pleated look. I like the black and grey look the most.

[@kegcastiglione5318]

I prefer the black and gray because it’s more intimidating. But my ideal look for Batman is the black and gray with blue highlights like in the animated series

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

Technical the "blue and grey" is really black and grey. Drawing a character with black on grey back in the day was probably a challenge to make it look good until we got modern printing techniques.

[@NightWatch0997]

Most of the time, I prefer black and gray on Batman. I don't know why, but it feels more "Batman" on that color.

[@endertron3282]

I preffer blue and gray more than the other colours. And the review made me wanna buy this figure. I don't care too much about Dark Knight but this figure is so good that i need it.

[@devilmaycryfan7681]

I prefer blue and gray, more unique. And the Navy Blue like Batman i also enjoy a lot

[@stevenboyd3756]

DKR Batman black/gray is my favorite Batman figure so far. Him being sculpted in Frank Miller's art style makes him look so bad-ass . He's sparse on accessories ,though. No grappling-gun? Really? Mafex, c'mon. I really like this figure.

[@vadr6383]

QUESTION OF THE DAY Super dark gray with black. Battfleck suit was very good.

[@toddg1003]

1. Blue on Gray 2. Black on Gray 3. Black on Black

[@Eddyche710]

The Mafex Battle damaged version looks the best! Can’t wait!

[@cookedit]

The quality of this one gives hope to the battle damaged triumphant figure being even better. If the paint apps on both the head and on the the damaged areas are spot on like the promotion pics, we are on to a winner！

[@ramiropanfilo4222]

Wow this is a great Frank Miller Batman figure, personally I like black on grey batman and dark metallic blue on grey with the black and yellow bat symbol.

[@jonathanperez7638]

Black and gray, but I think black ok black works best for the film's

[@louisbaez5802]

Like the old group from the 60s, The Moody Blues. In my opinion Batman black is scarier in the comics. In the videos his costume is so black it's blue. When i see the Batman blue costume it seems Robin will be near by him soon. The Batman black I only get the loner vibe or him and Night Wing together. Nice review of a winning figure. Thanks for sharing your treasure.

[@viniciussilveira4576]

12:41 humm... i would love to have a video of you explaining why toe hinges suck, because for me i think that they can work aesthetically in figures with socks or toes, but, when it comes to functionality, think it can work if you don't have it too loose, but I want to hear your opinion about it

[@viniciussilveira4576]

@@connorb237 I agtee with you, for example, you wouldn't be able to get revoltech spider man in a crouching position without the toe hinges, and i think this articulation point makes a lot of poses look more realistic and dinamic

[@rizqiam666]

Blue grey

[@vaderswatch5974]

Black on gray just the colours i think batman should all ways be drawed in just my opinion. The blue and gray doesnt intrest me.

Black and grey is the best with blue and grey

[@Kitbats]

I might consider selling my hush batman and get this with the Mafex TDKR superman. I'll wait first to see what are the full accessories of the TDKR Supes. So far the only head sculpts are the neutral and dmged face. Superman without heat vision head sculpt is a deal-breaker.

[@lemming4774]

Blue and grey 100%

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

Black and grey all the way, blue and grey can look good in certain comics but I see that more as the Adam West/less dark style Batman, to me he'd be in those colours when he's with the Justice League or something like that, to me the Dark Knight should be in darker colours. Black on black though I don't like much since there are less versions out there with those colours aside from the film designs and like you said it's less visually interesting.

[@ekwrestling]

This review really sold this figure for me. But to answer your question I’m more of a black on black Batman kinda vibe but I vibe with the black & grey too

[@Hook2099]

I grew up with Batman blue and gray so that's top tier for me, then grey and black

[@KalAzrCollections]

Blue on gray

[@viniciussilveira4576]

Personally, my favorite is black and gray, but i still really like blue and gray. But, i can't even imagine the black on black 😂😂😂, if someone has an idea of what it would be...🤔

[@nwobw]

Black on black - the Tim Burton aesthetic. Black on Grey and Blue on Gray are tied. It depends on the artist and costume design for me.

[@NoahRichard]

Pardon the comment a whole year later, but I'm hoping you get a chance to review the 2-pack with Robin! There's new stuff to look at (both Robin herself and some accessories for Batman), and it would be great to revisit this mold in the blue and gray colors. Either way, great review! Keep up the good work!

Blue and grey for me.

[@Hereigns16]

Black and Gray for me. Makes more sense for stealth...

[@sethmonster6529]

For me, I’m a black and gray guy. Light gray. I always thought that the mafex figures were way overpriced for what you get. Also, I’m still frustrated that there’s no definitive 6 inch classic Batman figure. McFarlane is too weird and big and Universe Classics is starting to show its age.

[@aunghtoohtooko5861]

Black and grey but the grey has to be very dark grey.

[@awfulyowu5157]

Blue and grey, but black and grey on alternate suits.

[@TheSpectre005]

This guy is crazy he said toe hinges suck. Toe hinges should be on ever figure. I agree some aren’t done well but they are sooo damn useful

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Most are done well and pull budget from other things. Because of that, they usually suck. Obviously good ones don't... But those almost never happen.

Black and grey is the best to me. Blue is a bit too bright. I can go with a very dark blue, like a midnight blue, but not the regular just barely deep blue.
