The painted battle damage just looks like camo

[@imnotsickler]

I thought the knuckles were weird too. Seems like Knightfall art alternates between skin, white or metal for the knuckles.

[@spoogtastic]

Bane looks tremendous. Elbows having barely any bend is a huge pet peeve of mine, I wanna bend his arms! Cmonnnn, but he does have a great look though. Batman, meh.

[@nyx7608]

Batman in the thumbnail are so freaking funny. I laugh so hard

[@NoahMuller-z3e]

Yeah The Thumbnail Of Bane And Batman is Very Funny! it’s Like They’re Both Taking A Photo After A Physical Brawl,Like A Advertised Comic Screenshot😂😂🤣🤣🤣.

[@ArmaanAhmed1502]

Love that Bane there, hope it had a torso movement. Almost perfect!

[@Stoopid_Sandwich]

I immediately repainted my Batman and removed all of the battle damaged paint deco. I also swapped out the head and painted it in classic comic colors, complete with the shadow across his forehead and the blacked out trunks. He looks way better as a standard Batman. Perfect for that Bronze Age era Batman that really hasn’t been done right until now. (With plenty of modifications to be sure)

[@paulc1553]

Legit LOL at the thumbnail. Cheers, Anthony.

[@MrDozy1016]

I gotta say, I wanted this for Bane. Got it on a discount with a code, so only paid 60. Your reviews are always the ones I go for, unbiased amd your setup is always top notch

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks

[@willthomson69]

Yeah, the cape is pretty bad, but at least it's cloth. I can't stand plastic capes.

[@jmh2035]

Lol 😂😂😂 that thumbnail had me dying 😭😭💀

[@thetruth1013]

Between the mafex and McFarlane bane I don’t see a need to ever get another unless I’m delving into movie bane

[@QuantumSurge64]

I want that Bane, but I'll stick with the regular Knightfall Batman and especially the black variant

[@PowerChordEPS]

I'm honestly a little happy the battle damage is painted on for Batman, means I could remove it or paint over it without there being a weird sculpt issue. I'm probably in the minority here but that's an unintended plus for me. That Bane is awesome, just what I wanted for the character.

[@marvinonstage]

I was thinking the same thing two. Maybe kitbash between it and the regular release to get one better figure.

[@PowerChordEPS]

@@marvinonstage Just what I was thinking, but aren't the grays and blues a little different between them? I'm not big on the head used here, too zombie-like like Anthony said but the OG Knightfall is perfect. I only really wanted the cape lmao

[@marvinonstage]

I'm going to checknto see if the Batman that comes with the Bruce Wayne head will work. Having this beat up Batman with the other cowel might look better or this beat up Batman with the Bruce Wayne head sitting in the Batcave exhausted after a big battle could work too.

[@Knightfall182]

Yeaaaah I prefer the *previous* release of Knightfall Batman, that's as perfect a Batman figure as we get. 👌👌

[@BCC-cc8lz]

Epic thumbnail

[@KJ-tz7vc]

Anthony, I truly appreciate your "absolutely no B.S." approach.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks

[@froakie14]

The cell shading looks cool

[@Ma-Sa-666]

Really good Bane, hopefully we can get it alone and without the "comic" paint, which in his case does not look so bad, but none of my collection have it, so I will prefer a normal paint. Maybe it will be too big to pair it with the mafex line.

[@CoolCarlos310]

Toe hing is perfect 👌

[@TravelBliss4ever]

Great review! I'm looking forward to this two pack. I really like the colors they went with for this Batman, though I wish they gave us an alternate head.

[@seoul08]

Would you suggest getting the mafex bane or this two pack for this bane?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Not really comparable. Too different.

[@FireBomberBassist]

The thumbnail is like he just whooped Batman but still wants to be friends.

[@OBSDCC7]

I think… and this is just a theory… the cape is a reflective material to try to replicate the heavy shading “comic style” paint job, the same way the No Way Home Spider-Man suit uses a reflective blue material, but it just really does not work here

[@Triiplesiix]

That Batman is awesome imo 🤷‍♂️

[@faridrv3889]

Oh my, got mine yesterday. Was gonna write in your comments to check the bats in this one. Really liked him (bane less so).

[@bravehardy3870]

I let the white knuckles pass because the mask has white paint details that itty bitty detail will suffice. I wish the fore arms swiveled since they equipped him with claw hands and clinched fist. I mean it's a muscle bound mega figure. I would pose that particular Batman to look as dead as possible in the clutches of Bane on the shelf.

[@emkhet7924]

That Bane will go perfect with my Madex Batman.

[@guillermocardenas2225]

[@2amendmentrulz656]

Don't collect McFarlane DC Multiverse anymore but might pick this up if it goes on sale.

[@thespiritus4440]

You should review the McFarlane Hugo Strange Disguise figure

[@jimwheeler9840]

I expected Anthony to rip this a new one. Considering this is such an iconic moment, this doesn't measure up. Did I buy it? Yes. Do I love it? No. And that travesty of a Batman is the reason. Looks like a damn zombie, not a beat-up human, and the "battle damage" paint is irrefutably dumb. (Torn cloth only casts shadows outside a tear? Major tears in the suit, but not even a scratch on the underlying skin?) And in what universe would Batman wear a cape made out of the kind of material you'd use in a bridesmaid dress?

[@scolioreset]

This Bane is mostly reused from that single release. It’s not even close to how he looks in Knightfall.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's not mostly reused. It's partly reused

[@faridrv3889]

Yep, would love to get him in the same suit, but human sized

[@ChauLe-dx3fq]

basically a second chance for guys who missed the single release like me.

[@braydenpage1808]

I'm definitely getting this set. I missed the first Bane and was pretty disappointed because it looked amazing and is extremely expensive on the aftermarket now. I can take or leave the Batman. He's fine in my opinion. Nothing great but nothing horrible. That Bane is absolutely the reason I'm buying this.

[@thein-famouselguapo15]

I pre-ordered this as soon as I saw it because Bane looked too cool. Definitely one of the better Banes out there. They did batman dirty 😅

[@slumppa3034]

Yes. Im getting it for the Bane💥 I have the More modern mega fig. Both are Legendary designa

[@davidmarrero9608]

This time the artwork for this on that back shouldn't matter since thats just a civer art for the Knightfall issue. Bane never was shirtless during that scene when he fought Batman abd broke his back in the batcave. The two pack is good but i dislike the shading on Batman even the color blue since that actually doesn't match to comics plus felt it was lazy to just paint the cut marks and suit tears on his versus just sculpting the cut marks and tears

[@slumppa3034]

The New Mcfarlane 'Classic' Darkseid will be coming out soon if not Already. You got my support as always! Can't wait for a review of that. Otherwise, Jada, Storm, nd Hasbro Legends are my fav of ur content Anthony. Keep it up bro🫡

[@ProfessorHurt]

I had the "preorder remorse" for this two-pack. The Batman kept scaring me away from wanting it. But the Bane just looks TOO good to pass up. He's an amazing figure. So he's perfect figure to be the center of my Bat Family (Batgirl: Cass, Robin: Tim, Signal, and Red Hood) fighting him.

[@ProfessorHurt]

I'm probably gonna resell the Batman.

[@YEAR-1-RELICS]

I don't trip about the art on the box. Todd just takes the coolest picture. But if you open up a graphic novel you'll see that the figure represents the characters pretty well. I do agree about the cape. Man it's too thick. Todd could have done a silky material to get that blue metallic shien but with a much more flowy material instead of stiff material

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks for your efforts on this review Anthony. Your lighting and audio are perfect from Canada. I fudge the big guys on my display using "artistic license" to have the larger figures with the others. Having these intimidating figures with the "floating scale" of ML can work. "Cheap ass people" bwahahaha. So true. So accurate. Why do companies make 2-packs containing a desired with a non-desired figures? Is it just me or wouldn't profits be more resounding if these cheap-ass people would make a decent 2-pack? Thanks for your review. Basement. I know, I know - you'd rather talk about anything else. Yet, with your frequent reviews lately, I am assuming the basement is finally in a condition you are proud of. I can't wait for the next room tour video.

_”So, let’s look at my package. It’s a big one. It’s a nice, big package.”_ you thought you were slick 😆

[@faridrv3889]

I just got 3 of my first figures with wired capes at the same time and was very disappointed - the material is weird. It does not stretch, drape, or do a figure any good except being able to pose. I honestly now prefer unwired material capes, partially because i can tear it easier and put a decent material there myself

[@kyneanderson5851]

The complaints about the cape make me laugh. When Jean Paul Valley took over as Batman, he purposely changed the cape because he felt it was too unwieldy, bulky and liability. So it’s very true to the comics….from a certain point of view.

[@cadavermanhim]

You didn't show batman's articulation because we've seen it before but you showed banes. Isn't bane just a repaint of one we've already seen before? I don't know why I'm asking because it is.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

That's a sizable package Anthony...mind you there was a French Pole Vaulter in the Olympics that has a bigger one.😳

[@ytrefugee113]

Batmans face looks like hes been hitting the tanning bed a little too much. I dont know if the blue is too light or the gray is too dark, or the yellow is too bright, or all 3. Glad to see a cloth cape, but for me it is a fail in both appearance and the thickness/material.

I really don't like the comic-shading, if you are unaware that is what they are going for then it just looks like Bane has very uneven sloppy neon blue stripes on him.

[@jacksonpritz4187]

I have this 2-pack. The bane is awesome, definitely my favorite bane figure… but the Batman sucks! I think if you’re going to do a wired cape, the material needs to be different, specifically not as thick and stiff. Also, on mine, the ankle was half off the peg in the box. I managed to reconnect it, but now it’s floppy as heck and the figure can barely stand in dynamic poses because of it (not that it would’ve been able to do that to begin with, but still). Ah McFarlane toys…

Eyeliner over the cowl is an interesting choice, super-emo-batman.

[@sik7476]

Look.... that one dude was right! When you did the mafex Bane reveiw, I said how I didn't like it and some crap taller said something like "...then go get the oversized, peice of crap, McFarlane Bane figure then." I respond, "Okay. Perhaps I will." Todd made a good one, for a change. McFarlane vs. Mafex, in this one, is zero contest imo. It just looks way better. Mafex obviously is gonna have better articulation, but how articulated does Bane really have to be? Sik

[@GERI-FigurkiKolekcjonerskie]

Bane's fists are baffling to me - clearly using parts of the open hands for the pegs, and some weird poligonish wrap around the gloves. It looks like garbage whipped up in ZBrush 5 minutes before Todd fired up his 3D printer.

[@guillermocardenas2225]

Whybyou complaint about hands I don't notice anything u said

[@someonels3]

Batman is bad. Really hate his head, maybe it’s the sculpt maybe it’s the paint idk but it just looks wrong. I'm fine with the battle damage but if they were gonna do it why make his cape perfectly intact when it clearly gets ripped in the comic? Bane is pretty cool though. I think his torso tapers a bit too much but it’s fine. The white knuckles are accurate btw, to the issue where he breaks Batman's back and the cliffhanger from the issue before at least

[@SRMonster]

I didn't like the Batman at all - painted battle-damage reminds me of the Mattel days - but he CAN pull off that one pose from the Dark Knight Returns #2 cover.

[@user-qq9ob7xl5y]

I dont know why people are still buying mcfarlane i guess cause their cheap. But with companies like fondjoy realeasing more accurate figures. Idk to me most of todds figures suck. Im a fan of details and most of his figures lack paint and realism. Only his comic book figures are decent i guess
