McFarlane Toys MAN-BAT Batman DC Multiverse Rebirth Action Figure Review

This figure was sculpted incredibly and the paint is pretty good too. Will the horrible articulation make it an easy pass or would you rather just use a stand to hold him upright since he looks pretty darn good?

This, killer croc, and the new bane are the new figures I'm most looking forward to you reviewing

[@AnthonysCustoms]

already have croc

[@simplebidnessman]

@@AnthonysCustoms excited for that review,

I think man bat could've been a normal release instead of being a mega fig. If he had an open wing option i would definitely get him.

[@nyugvo6]

My problem with the DC line is that we don't have as many Lobo figures as batman variants.

[@andresMASTERx]

I had canceled my pre order on this guy because of shelf space and was starting to regret it ,but now I'm glad I did, those ankles are terrible. I can't have a freaking demolition ball tumbling down my shelves. Hopefully the new comic bane won't have problems like that.

[@phenom3161]

All you have to do is find the right pose and thats all. I figure out that the base could give you a lot o balance with the wings and the torso. Talking about the size, its big, but you could make him a little bit short trying to crossing their arms.

[@braydenpage1808]

I had the choice of Man Bat or Killer Croc and I chose Croc because he doesn't have as many limitations. I think if you review him you should like him more.

[@ricardonunez544]

It's a shame that Man Bat's wings cannot be opened... that would have given this figure more presence, grandeur and majesty

[@walterchaidemenos1758]

[@Mickylitman]

Awesome figure IMO

[@finalboss8624]

Man bat skipped his legs day that's why upper body strong and lower body weak🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BA-rh5hy]

Truly having a blast building my batman collection with all the cool variations and these villains really add a different dimension to the collection.

[@shauntothemaxx5639]

The lack of trigger finger hands is disappointing... As for someone who doesn't collect Batman. I appreciate its in the line, cause DC is solely about Batman for a lot of people, it makes the line as a whole successful and profitable for DC and McFarlane to keep making figures, and it gives my wallet a break.

[@dtejada1988]

Zup Anthony, I think we can concluded that Mcfarlane likes Batman as much as you do👍🏼, I say keep them coming, the stand is the best accessory, be advised you can fix the joints with some, thanks for the video bro 😎

[@rebelempire6822]

The cake rating is hilarious 😂

[@bctan2291]

definitely need a figure stand for him (12 inch figure stand is better).. or hook him up (he is a flying character anyway)

[@Mickylitman]

I love Batman so I’m ok

[@MrHutto1]

I hate that he doesn't come with any guns.

[@ihavetoreturnsomevideotape2760]

Lmao!

[@hazeleduardo2354]

You killed me, man.

[@Cautious_Gamer]

Would make a great base for a custom Werewolf figure.

[@frobjorn2201]

I was thinking the same darn thing

[@emphorepolpatinedasenate]

I want to have a comic justice league already!

[@WanderingTetsubo]

I think Manbat had the same elongated pinky finger with only 2-3 functional fingers on his hands, in his "The Batman" series appearance, iirc.

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

One of the few mcfarlane figs I’d buy

[@noz48a2]

I have him and Clayface and that's it.

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

@@noz48a2 thought about Bane too, but he’s too big haha

[@kltoybox]

You know I love Batman a ton but it would be nice to get more variety outside the justice league and current show characters. Even some animal companions would be nice like a Dope Ace and Krypto. I was excited for the new Static Shock Figure till I saw him but hoping he makes a variant that is a bit better looking to me. Them not being able to stand neutral has been incredibly annoying.

[@cdubbart]

I probably won’t be tired of the Batman related stuff until I get everything I want lol.

[@nexus7joynexus7joy97]

I can't wait until you review the McFarlane DC Multiverse Parrallax. I just bought one from WM on my way home from work for $19.87. The circle on the chest is upside down to the package picture. The figure doesn't have gray hair on the sides of the head like in the picture. And many more discrepancies between the figure and the picture on the package. You'll get a kick out of this figure I'm sure.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Idk if ill bother

[@justicierodelaliga]

Would you do a McFarlane Lobo review? Yes, I´m done with Batman and characters of his universe. Give them a rest. There´s still not even a regular Wonder Woman figure yet tons of Batman universe figures. What about Black Canary, Firestorm, Captain Atom, Spectre...? And if McFarlane loves horror/monster characters there´s his chance to make Blue Devil, Trigon, Creeper, Bleez, Silver Banshee... PS Agreed with the comment regarding the looks of certain characters. While yes, there are some that have definitive costumes from specific times, there are others where it doesn´t matter the least as they have a general look all the time.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

did they release a lobo?

[@FinalConsensus]

He most definitely should have had open claw hands and not fists

[@chaisrocha9853]

I smell a gold label variant

[@satishtilokani2990]

Ban at LOOKS ok

[@TheMattTrakker]

I like the matte diaper, should have done all of the pants matte. Shouldn't have to do this, but - If these are anything like the ankles on the redeemer figure from the spawn line, I took them off, split them in half and then put glue on each portion of the ankle ball, let it mostly dry then put it back together and moved it a little bit to make sure it didn't totally lock together. It's still functional as an ankle, but that added enough friction that it holds him up much better now.

[@DesignIncase]

The problem isn't Batman related figures but Batman. It's announcing Batroticus instead of any other Red Lantern. Announcing a Batman from a single small panel in some small one off comic. But announce a Poison Ivy, Penguin, Two Face, Mr Freeze, Ra's, Nightwing, Robin, ..........Alfred and that's different. Then when we do get other characters.......it's always something. Too long legs, side eyes, crap costumes no one cares about(Static), or a lack of important accessories. Man-Bat, had to cancel, it's too much a statue(which I don't want) without being a great statue. If it's on a nice sale, I might pick it up, but I can miss it in the collection. Which is a shame. I still don't get why they won't sculpt better articulation. At first I thought they were reusing parts and so they had to make due with their mistakes. But these more unique figures has the same problem.

[@razrentals8897]

Watching you trying to get him to stand is such a shame. I thought this dude looked cool and I was thinking of getting him to display with my Neca Alien vs. Batman, but I’ll probably skip this guy. I’ll check out your clayface review next since I was thinking of getting him too.

[@MrMegaman0607]

DC Superheroes had a more diverse character selection and that line was strictly limited to Batman and Superman characters, at least that made y’know, villains and supporting cast members way more often

[@tonileo9849]

Mcfarlane should go the mafex route and make waves or lines based on certain stories, and try to replicate the look of the chatscters from that story really close. The most recent example would be their newly announced bane, ehich is just...there, not saying its bad, but i really wish the line would be more consistent.

[@hiddeneaf404]

Nope. I love Batman and his villains! But shit McFuckingFarlane should've included open wings!!!!!

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Shame this guy can't stand good because he looks awesome. I might get him but those loose joints will be pretty annoying especially when doing stop motion. I like Batman a lot too but wouldn't mind seeing other DC characters like the Teen Titans

[@raygun310]

Hey Anthony, will u review the new batmam from page punchers line? I think he looks sick! Would love to know how he actually is

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I don't think I'm buying it. Don't like the colors

[@xpertofkombatxandgames7231]

love it

[@iasiahharrison9185]

One of the biggest issues mcfarlane has with the dc multiverse figures is definitely articulation,wich if you think about it articulation is kind of new to mcfarlane toys because for years thier figures had like what five points to zero articulation;hell from the late 90s and early 2000s all thier figures were basically statues.

[@thebat8997]

Ugh mcfarlane mcfarlane mcfarlane why you do you continue to disappoint me

[@SentinelPrimal]

It’s disappointing that the wings are just scrunched and can’t expand for flight mode. Great sculpt but the cons outweigh the pros. I’ll stick to the DCUC version.

[@BXDRAGONX1]

Boy I was going to buy this fig. I love the sculpt. Looks big but after seeing this review I’ll past. Come on McFarland, you need to address the standing issues on some of your figures. That tiny foot disc can even hold up a regular figure. I have Mortal Kombat Spawn that keeps falling amid the disc. Thanks for this review.

[@nicktroisi6347]

Holy shit (I know I’m late btw) but there are so many Batman figures it’s not funny. It’s a crime that we haven’t got a classic Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Powergirl ect yet. There are so many different Heroes and Villains that they can use but no, it’s just a different version of Batman or Superman related figures. To be fair Todd has released some absolute bangers and is starting to realise l us fans want classic or recent versions of these characters. I’m really excited for Impulse, Black Manta and Jay Garrick

[@saikugeru1819]

i think the main problem with mcfarlane is that there is too much detail

[@AnthonysCustoms]

ummm... why is that a problem?

[@hazeleduardo2354]

I don't see that as a problem honestly, but to each their own.

[@meneliktafari894]

Great review …… looking forward to the croc as well

[@ooklathemok2941]

Kirk shouldn't have skipped leg day....

[@Albino_Basilisk]

I’m definitely ok with them just sticking to Batman stuff, I just wished it was Batman stuff I wanted, like more classic looking villains, not a million alternate dimension versions of Batman

[@ryancasper6576]

Im ok woth mainly Batman related stuff. However McFarlane needs to get his shit together and start supervising to make these figures good. Lots of problems that can easily be fixed

[@laughingman5743]

it's looks so good in box. the sculpt is fucken awesome imo. I wanna take it out and try some poses but I'm just as happy with it in box.

[@whitezombified]

I'm wondering how those fuckin wings would work if they were functional, I don't think they are sculpted at the proper points on the arms lol

[@fabiantrenche6201]

The art is from the New 52 lmao. It isn't even Rebirth. How can they make such a dumb mistake?

[@AndresDavidCalvache]

At least you could stand yours, my toy has really weak ankle joints can't stand at all. Too top heavy. Still a great sculpt.

[@helloagain3226]

Excellent analysis. This looks a good starting point for a great custom and I wanted a megafig manbat and I like the overall sculpt they went for, but I want a finished product not a project. The legs are unforgivable, the fists were designed on a Friday afternoon then forgotten, that pink paint is hideous and the teeth are ridiculous. I'll already be paying around the equivalent of $60 for one where I live and have you seen what mezco has coming?

[@punkedout62]

I'm gonna get chunky because I just keep coming back for more cake!

[@JerryGattz]

I am okay with Batman being featured a lot in this line. Sure, it's taking forever to get other characters, but we are getting them little by little. Also, any toy company that gets a license for Batman is a goldmine for them. So it is expected that we see a heavy amount of Batman merch. I do like my figures to stand on their own. Lol

[@Alex-fx5es]

Damn, I like the old DCUC Man-bat figure more than this one

[@maxbanh]

his wings cant open unlike the Dcuc one, very top heavy which is like: Whats the point.

[@kylansnyder18]

It looks like he’s wearing short shorts with ripped tights underneath

[@JayWoods483]

ACqoTD: I am not as sick as watching Hasbro ML Spider-Man figure reviews. 2022 marks Spidey's 60th, I just didn't expect 60 Spideys from Hasbro. I am so disappointed this figure cannot remain at least standing erect without being propped. It isn't a deal breaker for me, but puts posing him more in a position it will balance rather than what I would like. But the killer for me are the hands. I will not be getting this product simply because of the hands. First off, the character doesn't fly with closed fists unless he is diving (and even then) on a prey, so their selection is a real deal breaker for me. I could possibly balance it if it had open hands and a counter balance could be used, but sadly that's not the case. As a statue it is art. As a posable figure, it fails.

[@EliteLegendToysandCollectibles]

Can’t wait to get this beast.

[@Hdhakdhdj]

Please review the warhammer 40k genestealer, you'll get a great surprise

[@bonnwilliams1106]

Batman has so many looks with a great cast of characters, so I'm happy that there's a lot of Batman in the multiverse line. I agree with McFarlane that there should be a normal Batman on shelves 12 months of the year.

[@romandodero3847]

I Like Man-Bat a lot, we need a Live Action Movie apperance soon

[@aaronmauer7225]

Yes. I have pretty much dropped the line except for a figure here and there

[@TheStrscrm]

That's a shame, because the sculpt is really good.

[@peytoncallis]

The intro was funny when the figure fell off the stand

[@nivekcor7760]

Definitely wouldn't mind seeing more batman villains.

[@wasabi-in-my-eye3134]

I like big bat butt and I cannot lie ..... batty got back lol

[@bee-beargaming]

There is too much batman in the McFarlane line

[@nes199]

came for the man-bat review, felt satisfied after the cake rating

[@randallpohl5408]

Lmao. Your cake ratings are stellar.

[@SuperZX49]

I'm sick of Batmancentrism

[@DanB.0]

I watch all your videos, I enjoy your reviews even when not interested in the character but I still wonder why you rate the ass hahaha I mean, I know it's a funny idea but it's still confusingly funny, so it's like, yeah, that happens lol and it's hilarious when you clarify about it for the unfamilar viewers xD

[@AnthonysCustoms]

it's because mcf puts lots of cheeks and crack in their figures regularly

[@marvins.]

Him being top heavy is more about the innate design of the character isn’t it? how do you make him not top heavy? now the ankles, i’ll give you that.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It didn't need to be solid pvc.. It can't have loose joints either

[@MARTY61384]

Wait till u get that 7in page punchers batman. Hes dope looking but u know mcfarlanes articulation is

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I'm not getting it. The colors are weird

[@duckheadfoot]

Looseness is a dealbreaker for me also...

[@chrchaves]

Do you think there might ve a way to fix these knees? I just got one and it's driving me nuts

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Glue i guess. Not much else

[@Mickylitman]

What do you think of the booster gold figure they revealed? I think he looks more lemony than gold which sucks

[@AnthonysCustoms]

we'll see how it looks at release.

Still want it despite all its flaws

What?

Pass...

[@searcher7478]

Faaaaarrrrk man! 😆🤣 The way you ever-so-smoothly manage to incorporate 'That's what she said" into the review! Priceless!! You should do a compilation video of all the times you've 'slipped it in' (that's what she said!) 😆😂

[@rsaaland]

I'm sick of all the Batmans but not the Batman-related characters - give me more of Batman's villains, allies, and supporting cast, and less of Batman himself. I would literally buy even Ace the Bathound if they made a (good) figure.

[@marioreyes6471]

If they were doing what mafex is doing and giving us classic looks I'd be down. But they giving us random batman crap I don't want. I'll save my money for mafex, even with their poor qc lol

[@chaisrocha9853]

Todd will eventually sell the classic designs martian manhunter is an example although he is an exclusive

[@marioreyes6471]

@@chaisrocha9853 naw im good mafex articulation is way better. Plus there articulation sucks most of the time. They aren't even comic accurate most of the time and no accessories. Mafex is the only comic dc line worth buying right now.

[@noz48a2]

Any chance I could tighten the ankles with nail polish?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Not likely

[@hannahsaphire7643]

Why wouldn’t he rate the cake? That’s what I say! 🎂🎂🎂. That’s such a bummer that he can barely stand. Lol to the final pose. Thanks for the awesome review Anthony😽🤟💯💗

[@marvelmaniac88]

Sticky Tack/Mounting Putty is your best friend for these types of figures. Even then, who knows if this would stand consistently.

[@Bender1988s]

because of the limitations i didnt buy it. sculp is awesome,but. i had to chose killer croc (i will repaint him) cool sculp-like most mcfarlane dc figures-but they need a repaint

[@Victor-mc1sz]

Answer to your question- I don't mind if they do other characters in the Batman universe as well- villains, supporting cast, etc. Are you planning to review Killer Croc? Hopefully that one is a good one.

[@PowerChordEPS]

Batman's also my favorite DC hero but in saying that, we need more villains than just Batman variants. Sure we got a fair amount but what about Mr. Freeze? A classic Riddler? Ra's Al Ghul? Lots of untapped potential but I'm still waiting on the rest of the 2003 Teen Titans after Cyborg Man-Bat's a step in the right direction and my biggest issue is no flight stand. McFarlane has a perfectly good flight stand that could be resized to accommodate bigger figures and it'd solve the standing problem. Wrists are weird too, could have included alternate arms with claw hands so you're not just limited to that pose

[@onetwelvewonders5480]

I regularly snap my feet in half when I bend my metatarsals for dynamic poses in real life.

[@liquidbelowzer0]

Dang, I'll probably get Croc. Thanks for a great review!

[@jestaalchaosborne]

Batman is my favorite dc property but I wouldn’t mind seeing some green lantern characters. Aside from that, all I care about is how cool they come out

[@edvincarpio127]

Kinda disappointed you didn't give the cake a lil slap because I was heavily tempted to do so myself

[@assassinrookie7156]

I’m surprised that your not able to open the wings so you can pose him flying, you know like an actual bat

[@xer0vi]

Im okay with it. Batman is what sells. It would be nice to get a little more of other characters. But all the Batman stuff works for me.

[@Darkseid.of.Apokolips]

When you wanted claw hands ,todd give you fist hands
