i’m still happy this channel is still alive been watching sense i was 12 i’m 18 now so it cool to still see these videos pop up

[@bashcrash9148]

I was today’s years old when I discovered Grim Batman was a thing...It basically looks like Batman meets Punisher and that is awesome.

[@youngduffy5016]

The version on the box with the cape and everything would’ve been a badass figure!

[@Ladron.Baudelaire]

I don’t know why but there’s just something satisfying about Batman with a bunch of guns at his side 😎

[@mawile3037]

Because it's WRONG lol

[@frostknight1347]

Makes him look BADMAN!

[@AnointedFlow]

It's the ultimate alternate of his character.

[@Yats6417]

The head looks very bird like XD

[@jonathanperez7638]

It's Todd's head with a mask thrown on it

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

And to think this is one of the more expensive figures on the aftermarket.

[@mawile3037]

Yeah that comic-cover art on the back is just an artistic take, but the plastic is what is actually running around in the comic, not actually but you know

[@emuman09]

Yea but it doesn't make sense why they would put artwork on the box that looks nothing like the figure lol just use a different picture from the comics so they match. This seems to be a recurring thing with this line

[@matthewhill5140]

@@emuman09 I understand that but hes problay just useing comic cover art not the art from inside the comic but I understand what u mean

[@onetwelvewonders5480]

At certain angles, it looks like Todd in a Batman costume. Wish fulfilment, perhaps?

[@luisayala5914]

I mean Todd is into huge guns, holsters and edgy shit so you're probably not too far off

[@fotzilla3832]

I take it at some point Mcfarlane is gonna give up this farcical use of the moniker "DC Multiverse" and just rebrand it as "Batman Elseworlds" or some such, right?

[@bruhdiconwassi5074]

That plastic is RAW!

Was thinking of adding my own fabric cape to this figure... Give it some more feel

[@BungoTV]

It is so impractical to carry a ton of guns instead a ton of bullets

[@AnthonysCustoms]

True

[@The-MF-gamer-is-here]

Realy why reload if you already a have a loaded gun

[@kltoybox]

The “let’s make it pick full of details but give him a sunken skull”

[@CandGoods]

I've gotten only a few McFarlane DC figures, pretty much Hellbat, Unchained Supe, Arkham Asylum Batman and Joker, and Thomas Wayne Batman. Sculpts are great, but the big shortcoming for me is always the engineering of the articulation. It definitely shows that the inclusion of articulation is done begrudgingly, historically Todd prefers the statuesque stuff, but that doesn't sell at mass retail, so just make some cuts and stuff some joints in there with not a lotta finesse to it, and call it a day.

[@reboandzooty]

The box art is way cooler I agree. Also this figure’s head sculpt is terrible lol

[@MarquezDaniel]

I feel like you're really harsh in your reviews but I kinda like it because I know you're giving an honest opinion 👍

[@LochNessHamster]

I'm currently using the legs and hips of this figure with the torso and arms of the Marvel Legends Movie Venom to make a custom Bane figure. It's working out really well. Also, when you take off all of his excessive belts and bandoliers, his body actually looks a lot like Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell, so I might use another one of these for that, too. Edit: Here's how Bane came out instagram.com/p/CKnoyUEAjM_/?igshid=phyiivvvbln6

[@harrykingsman4310]

I love the neutrality and objectivity you offer in your videos man, and I listen good? You makin a figure? I can't wait to see them, love your content man!

[@sintwelve]

There's usually a designated artist sculptor for the heads. wonder who did this one.

[@mawile3037]

😯

[@emavaz18]

It's kind of hard to tell whether it's generally good or generally bad. Especially for a gun-toting tactical action figure, the grim Knight is just a frustrating action figure. Just do guns and a whole backpack of melted together guns, poor. Only thing I would do now if I got this action figure is stripped that weapons pack for any usable parts to make it custom weapon accessory.

[@xigbar1994]

I have the figure and design and concept wise it's one of my favourites. If there's one thing I would change (other than obviously adding the torn cape like in the box art) it would be to have a really well sculpted sniper rifle or assault rifle to have on his back rather than the gun amalgamation back piece. I can see what they were trying to do, but it doesn't quite work looking at it.

[@nghiaduong9319]

could you make a custom one without molded weapons ??

[@pipsqueack]

4:20 the 2021 roast of Batman brought to you by Sir Anthony'sCustoms

[@twoodall88]

That ankle joint on snapped at the peg out of the box for me. I cut down a revoltech joint for a replacement, but man those ankles are rough AND flimsy.

[@TakuX]

So I have a question, I'm looking for someone to create a custom figure for me, most places I've looked so far are dead ends. Could I get you to create my figure for me or you tell me where to start?

[@MuShinnen]

His head looks like what I imagine Adam Sandler to look like if he had a batman cowl.

@@AnthonysCustoms Why?

[@toyman9242]

Awesome video, just for future reference those mags on his shoulder are from a AK platform rifle (makes it even more weird). Super cool review, thank you for posting it!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

There's no way to tell they're ak mags when they aren't shaped properly to begin with though. The curve is the only indication.

[@25toys3]

Looks fantastic on the shelf for $15-20 Agree about molded details needing a little dry brush or something. That’s my issue with current day Hasbro Transformers.

[@captainfriednacho]

Man I was thinking of getting this until I saw that head profile. Unless I can swap it out with a better one.

[@MarquezDaniel]

I love this figure but yeah that head sculpt is horrendous

[@viniciussilveira4576]

for the question of the day i would say the one on the box, i really like how the black parts look like cloth and the silver parts are armor, i love the torn cape and like how he has different weapons on his back (a spear for example) EDIT: forget about the cape i just noticed, that's not a cape lol

[@JJ-oq3tz]

Cool Batman figure😎

[@cincila6981]

No paint on accessories is stupid. I guess it's like with Hellbat Armor where they made Rebirth version but put New52 version on the card because Rebirth one wasn't on covers. Although this one looks like an alternate cover because Grim Knight had one one-shot. Guess it's that, they put whatever picture shows full character?

[@The-MF-gamer-is-here]

2:12 um Anthony plz explain yourself

[@AnthonysCustoms]

no

[@knightwalker317]

I’m glad it didn’t come with a rubber cape 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Bruce77362]

Nice review......there are many good things about the figure and some major flaws as well. I totally agree with the reference picture in the cardboard. It would have been a great fig if they followed it. Anyways nice and informative review as well. Keep up the great work. Peace

[@nicholassilva3028]

The guy responsible for the sculpting for the McFarlane DC figures can be found on Instagram.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

He sculpts all of them?

[@nicholassilva3028]

@@AnthonysCustoms I think so .he goes by Losha Magee. He certainly did the head on Grim Knight. Also the bandolier is not lopsided. It’s actually made to fall that way along the chest and back. The hole that the “gun wings” pegs into is also of center to match with the hole in the bandolier. I do agree they should have gone with the other artist rendering for the card art.

[@mustafayilmaz406]

his head has angle because when bullet come to head it bounces

[@BilSande4]

I’ve passed on this figure several times. I just don’t get the “gun totting Batman” thing. It’s way out of character for Batman. He has stated on multiple occasions that "guns are for cowards" and he’s certainly no coward. Bruce Wayne’s entire motivation to become a crime-fighter came from a traumatic childhood episode of horrific gun violence. Thus his natural (and logical) aversion to guns! I really don’t see why so many people want to turn Batman into a gun wielding murderer. If you’re into that kind of thing, go read the Punisher. Leave Batman as the real hero he is.

[@xigbar1994]

That's why it's a multiverse thing ;)

[@DaleCooper1101]

I obviously know you can’t because it would take too much time but I’d love to see you do a sculpt in ZBrush of what his head would actually look like without the cowl on. It would be a real messed up face.

[@cookiemonsterxlxlx]

The infected superman is my favorite so far out of this line.

[@Red_1911]

Did Zach Snyder design this figure?

[@ingloriousmax]

Only reason I don't get this figure is because the 2 useable guns look lame. A grenade launcher and an smg? Feels like a very weird akimbo option. Sawn off and an ak or a sniper rifle of some kind would've been better imo.

[@thimotyandersen]

great review as always, nice dude

[@chataclysm2112]

I think you were too generous with this one honestly

[@xigbar1994]

In what sense? The fact that it's different than the box art? Despite that, the fact that it's very well sculpted and designed and comes with the accessories it does, all for the same price as a marvel legends figure (it was for me) is great in my opinion.

[@chataclysm2112]

@@xigbar1994 Of course not, that would be silly (although I genuinely have no idea why they keep using box art which doesn't match the figure). I wouldn't call it very well sculpted (they can't sculpt heads to look human for shit) nor would I praise the accessories that came with it (the gun blob is ridiculous). Yeah, it's quite nice that the McFarlane DC figures are all unique sculpts, but a lot of the time the unique sculpts aren't good. Say what you will about Marvel Legends, but using a buck isn't inherently bad, especially if it's a good buck and a good buck is way better than a crappy unique sculpt which this is, with bad proportions and poorly integrated articulation.

[@xigbar1994]

@@chataclysm2112 Fair enough, I respect your opinion and people are allowed to have their criticisms, I have mine too (inparticular the Azbat figure). I just think that people are being overally critical and not putting respect on McFarlane's name in that they are releasing some of the best DC figures in years (definitely design wise), all at decent prices. If anything, all this shows is the potential and room for the DC Multiverse line to grow. 👍

[@Immortal_Juicebox]

Weird that some of the guns on his back are from Titanfall... you can see the CAR SMG, and what looks to be a Hemlock as well. Weird. Cool looking figure tho

McFarlane's DC figures give you the feeling 2 different companies worked on the same figure. How can they have both extremes of good & bad on one figure? Lol.

[@arthurchen6464]

LOL how did you not use the profile of his head as the thumbnail? Anthony showing some restraints I see. Good on ya.

[@meneliktafari894]

Fantastic Review!!! Although I think DC Multiverse has made some improvements, I do not think the McFarlane line is consistent. His figures are a “Hit or Miss!” The articulation is very choppy and convoluted, the head sculpts are at times awkward, there are never fists included with figures that can benefit from having them.....deff not a McFarlane Fan.....further I was pissed when he jacked up Death Stroke!!! Great review though, keep it up!

[@imm311]

Excellent video! God bless!

[@batcavedave2535]

Altho the headsculpt is a weird shape it kinda reminds me of the artwork in batman black mirror, dick Grayson's head kinda looks like this in the batsuit so mite come in handy for a custom Grayson bat at some point but that's the only reason I would buy this figure.

[@guilematt]

I love this figure , making this comment now before I watched the vid, will comment after I see your review , I hope we agree on this figure. If not then I ll be shocked cuz this is such a cool looking figure

[@frostknight1347]

To answer your question, the cardboard version. The action figure version looks like Punisher cosplaying as Batman lol.

[@aaronmauer7225]

I made this into a custom design red hood

[@guilematt]

Damn . Crushed my favorite figure. LOL. The ankles don’t bother me anymore it is what it is at this point. The melted guns I understand but not a big deal cuz collectors have to many guns anyways. Hands it is what it is. The head your absolutely right, I’ll give u that. What’s your favorite Batman so far from McF

[@nhyar]

I would have liked this figure more if it actually looked like the picture you used. His arms look really thin, I feel like a lot of these McFarlane figures need better muscle definition. Also, his face is very bird-like, lol. The boots have a weird design too. If you look at them from the bottom part they look like they are in the wrong side, but from other angles they look fine. There's so much weird stuff going around the DC Multiverse sculpts.

[@roronoazoro9878]

Bruh he looks like vin deasel front he side 🤣🤣

[@c0ppersc0rpi0n3]

Idk man, I think of all the junk I buy, this line and the other stuff from Mickey F’s has average figures overall. Yeah they get some good ones in but other than that nothing really hits the dot 100%.

Hahahaah forhead is meant to reflect punches man I cry of laughter thanks, and by the way I saw your azrael armor and even do you did mention that it has issues I bought it lol and holly S=%^^ QC issues are so bad on the sholders and mine had a lazy eye lol I did disaemble the arms and man is an ugly join is not a butterfly join in just a giant peg atatch in to the arm with a little ball peg and inserts in to a small peg hole on the body and im pretty sure all of the figures are using the same join. Well this bats is cool but I hate molded guns on hustlers so I will pass on this guy and he is missing a cape and armor so if I see this guy cheap I will pick it up.

[@natep3825]

I think that mcfarlane should've included the molded piece that goes on his back and some other guns too, other than the ones they give us.

[@grouchydude3448]

Why would someone want to wear underwear over their cargo pants?

[@Rudesayer]

Why the hell are his eyes so far apart????

I think it's a dumb idea because it's not Batman anymore. It's just Punisher with bat ears. DC and MARVEL both scrapping the bottom of the barrel for ideas these days.

[@dailove3]

I wish Todd would stop with the ball wrists and ankles. They just kill the beauty of the sculpt, I passed up all his wonder woman figures because it looks like someone tied skin colored water balloons around their wrists and ankles.
