McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Hawkman Action Figure Review

[@marvinonstage]

I actually worked on the set of Black Adam when it was being shot at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville Georgia (20 minutes South of Atlanta off of I-85) and Dr. Fate WAS NOT LIKE THE ONE ON THAT FIGURE! It was more traditional. They would actually haul it up on a wire to give us a site line where to look up in the sky to see where Dr. Fate would be.

[@Ruwheeze]

mcfarlane made his suit black, was it really black?

[@marvinonstage]

@@Ruwheeze If you mean Dr. Fate sadly I can't tell you. The scene I did Dr. Fate was wearing civilian clothes and was carrying the helmet. The scene will be when the Justice society is in the square trying to convince Black Adam to change his ways. Also a lot of time the actors wear a mo-cap suit so the costume is completely digital. This also allows them to.change the color of the suit at the click of a button.

[@zshakur]

Actually, in an old DC animated JL movie, one of the Hawkmen is black. The "race" of hawk people was diverse skin color wise.

[@illentertainment710]

Also if I remember correctly if he dies he is reincarnated as a deff person

Honestly Hawkman actor look amazing and if I remeber correctly, he has used a red and gold suit before in the comics.

[@theamazingman5461]

The red and gold costume was one of the uniforms of Katar Hol. Not Carter hall.

@@theamazingman5461 you’re right, either way they’re the same person just in a different life cycle

[@DAMac-lq2dl]

Great review. I love the look of Hawkman. I’m definitely going to stick with my previous release of Dr Fate. I’m still on the fence with Atom Smasher, but that might change after the movie. Thanks Brad!

[@EonStormcrow]

5:33 well, I mean, he is Egyptian... in some of his lives, so it makes more sense for him not to be white.

[@yoy5903]

Honestly I love all the redesigns and think hawk man's skin color is more accurate for his character. Great video Brad

[@chriswheeler3123]

IMPORTANT!!! After taking apart my doctor fate, I've discovered that the ab section needs rotating, his back is facing the front out of the box. The articulation is better once it has been spun around.

[@comix1017]

Alright Brad, so as usual, I agree, agree, agree with you. We need an uber classic Dr. Fate and Hawkman yesterday! With correct shiny gold helmet and wings that open and close!

[@HalbardadsHobbying]

Any plans to check out the Atom Smasher Mega-fig? I feel like the standard release feels pretty lack lustre just because Al’s whole Deal is that he’s massive!

[@ILoooooveCamels]

That face paint on Hawkman, eesh. Why is Todd lagging on the face printing? At least for actors?

[@Bongman42088]

Do you think the wings from the Tyrant Batman who laughs would fit and or look good on this Hackman fig?

[@ComicCrossing]

I actually love Dr Fates new helmet. Its very mystical and creepy. In a good way. He doesnt need eyes to see. That sort of thing. And it almost looks like something happened to it and it was damaged in some way leading to its current appearance. Given the asymmetry

[@eprince1388]

Does the Batman who laughs wings work on hawkman?

[@NachoReacts]

My doctor fate hand snapped off when I tried to rotate it and cmd sent me 2 replacements and both times same thing happened.

[@markasimmons]

Hawkman is a definite : Megafig Atom Smasher a probable if they can be bothered to paint the arm pins to match the suit colour.

[@ILoooooveCamels]

That Dr. Fate looks pretty great. It's a miracle! They gave him an actual usable ab joint! In spite of myself, the helmet design's growing on me. It looks *weird* and creepy. Hopefully it's justified in the movie. And I wouldn't say Hawkman being black is part of a "diversity agenda" (not that that would be a bad thing). If Carter's supposed to be an ancient Egyptian, this is what he'd look like. If he was a white guy in ancient Egypt, he'd probably be called "Whiteman" because that would stick out more to his peers than his bird motif!

[@sneir6539]

HAHAH love this but also a white dude could not pull off that costume the same way 💀😂

@ Brad Will the Batman who laughs wings fit Hawkman?

[@xzavier9935]

Should I buy dr fate or Adam smasher

[@michaeljustin1820]

I'd probably go with Dr. Fate although the helmet is kinda trash, he is still good. For Atom Smasher, I'd have to go with the bigger one.

[@xzavier9935]

@@michaeljustin1820 ok

[@Arrowdodger]

Hmm, of these three, Dr. Fate's definitely the one I'd want, but I do like all three. Really sucks you got the QC issues, that's unfortunate. The head swap does look pretty awesome. I don't mind the two-tone cape, looks nice. That he can do a flight pose is great. Don't mind Hall being black, do agree the wings opening would have really been nice. I guess with the mace, it just wasn't going to fit the budget for a standard price release. The elbows aren't great, but not as obnoxious as the recent Batman's elbow issues. Satisfied with the flight pose. Wasn't going to get this one, but it's growing on me. Atom Smasher looks the part, though I might be more likely to pick up the bigger version since, yeah, a regular sized Atom Smasher doesn't feel like something I'd have a lot of a reason to have unless I saw it for cheap.

[@Grotesque_denizen]

Maybe turn the ankle joint around to see if that helps with standing....

[@actionfigure-howtofixloose7057]

Belt color seems unpainted in the Atom Smasher, check Black Adams belt

[@zephyrleapold6796]

If hawkmans wings spread open I'd gotten him. Can pass on all 3 though

[@leebirdwell7783]

Agreed. Non-articulated wings is a deal breaker for me.

[@matthewholder4503]

Thank You for this first look! I'am a "Big" fan of Captain Marvel/SHAZAM! Thanks in part to Kenner's Super Powers collection. Can't wait to see this movie! Yes, I will collect all of this action figures. Captain Marvel's bad guy! I, agree with you went you talk about Hawkman as well Mcfarlane's Dr. Fate. Thanks again for the look and video..."Your The Man"! Matthew S. Holder (i.e creaturman) P.S ( Can't wait for you look and review of Todd Mcfarlane's "New" Super Power line) At 63yrs young...I'am kid all over again!

[@Jake_E57]

I got 3 of these figures too, but I went with Cyclone instead of Atom Smasher. My Dr Fate didn't have the ankle problem, but the chest piece was VERY off. Also I think his middle torso is actually backwards. That gap looks better when you swing that piece around. My Hawkman also might have a wing issue, his wings are at a pretty weird angle like they're too far forward at the top and swoop way back on the bottom.

[@jgonz1066]

Why doesn't dr fate ever get any magic effects 🙄 😒 😕 😐 😑 🤔

coolest idea to swap dr.fate's head! yeah, the movie ver helmet to look kinda (wayyyyy) weird

[@modeisin7]

They all look very good my only gripe is Hawkmans mace is a bit flimsy. But I actually really like the look of Atom Smasher.

[@mrbowen3]

I love the look of the Dr Fate figure. It is funny how much bluer the color appears on camera. I think I am going to do some dry brushing on him for some accents. It is almost black in person, but even that has a nice look. The gold is very nice. I also swapped the heads. I used the longer peg from the Injustice figure, too.

[@illentertainment710]

Really digging the Figure glad Dr Fate is getting more attention he's a really underrated Ch I'm kinda digging the helmet design it doesn't bother me I rock with it tbh

[@francisneila.martin6951]

Lol 😆 that Dr.fate helmet,maybe you can try to headswap it😃😄

[@whitezombified]

The new classic doomguy from his doom eternal line has excellent forward and back ab articulation so I know Todd knows how to work these figures , he just needs to try harder

[@blacknight7559]

That Atom smasher is gona be a great Deadpool custom

[@johnreel0161]

I think the reason Hawkmans pants are not green because his torso armor is kind of green already

[@kevrulz06]

Fate is pretty good. Didn't realize you could turn the legs up like that in his meditative state. Thanks! If there's one thing that Todd has not figured out at all yet, it's attachable wings. While this Hawkman figure is pretty neat, and very visually impressive, those wings are an abomination. Even the non closing, and very cumbersome wings of the WW84 armor version were better, and that's saying something. And the wings on Batman Beyond and Red Robin are fine for what those figures are, but Todd could've seriously learned from that Mattel Hawkman (far right) for how to do wings. At least the mace is cool! Atom Smasher is pretty neat. Not sure if it's good or just greedy (or both) to make a normal size AS and a mega fig one. Feel like I need to buy both. As someone who got the other figures from this movie (minus Sabaac), let me just quickly say, Cyclone is okay, but she has the most "meh" face, her long hair gives minimal head movement, and it's hard to balance her in her swirling air base without her falling over. Cloaked Black Adam has the heaviest cape BY FAR of any caped McFarlane figure. How he's able to stand straight up without falling back is beyond me! His head popped right off right out the box, but even when I put it back on, the nature of the sculpt combined with the cloak and hood make for minimal head movement range, and the paint is lacking. It's probably overall the worst figure of the six I got, and I could recommend you pass, HOWEVER, do absolutely get the uncloaked Black Adam figure. That might be the best figure in the wave. Very good range of motion, excellent sculpt and face scan, great paint app, same lightning effects as Page Punchers Adam, but still cool. That's the one to get.

[@chicomac8450]

Anyone else think that the new Atom Smasher looks like a Walmart Brand Deadpool?

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

Great, a better Dr. Fate than the previously released one. That’s how he gets ya

[@TheGeekViper]

I love the look of Hawkman, but I'm super disappointed the wings don't spread 😔. I'm really happy with those flight poses, but what's the point if you can't pose the wings like he's flying? 🤨 I guess I can just have him drive bombing into every fight? 🤓

[@dazblue5515]

They look great overall - although I have problems with all three characters (not McFarlane's fault). Firstly - Dr Fate... I would have preferred eye holes, and I don't like the uneven appearance of the design. Hawkman - his pants should be green Atom Smasher - don't like the mask... it does look like a Deadpool rip off! Don't understand why they designed him like that!

[@The7evenDayTheory]

Brad WTF do you mean it’s a diversity agenda just because they got a black actor instead of a black actor for for Hawkman when the main character of this movie is black and black Adam’s always white in the comics too

I genuinely don’t understand people having an issue with Hawkman being black. I what way does it affect his at all?

Really hate Dr Fate’s helmet, the swap out looked good. Also don’t like how the wings on Hawkman’s helmet stick out so far, he’s not Dumbo.

[@philrm99]

👌Nice

[@themonado5030]

Love your videos but disagree with your "diversity agenda" comment. I think he looks great and also it makes more sense. It's a shame that people see skin color before people. We are all human. Colour shouldn't matter.

[@CorporateBillionaire]

It matters to the woke mob and companies more than anything. Get woke go broke

[@sohamghosh9016]

Yeah, i thought the same thing too. Honestly, for being the first big screen live action Hawkman he looks absolutely great and the one most true to the comics, in terms of design. They clearly took some cues from Robert Vendetti's Hawkman run and that is what i thought when i first saw the suit. And he is very recognisable as Hawkman as well. I don't see the point of the criticism there. This was a very bigoted comment and borderline racist. Smh.

[@2toottoot]

The cringed hit my face some hard, Hawkman gets all the points here

[@DCMultiCollector]

Agree. The “diversity agenda” comment was a record scratch moment.

[@ryandonnelley7625]
