Hey congrats!!!! You won the giveaway!!! I’ll send you a DM at the handle you mentioned! Thanks so much for watching 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@MadMontrealMan]

To this date, the Hell Bay is my favorite MacFarlane Batman. Check out my reviews : On The Peg

[@Spider-Criminal]

I think the wired cape is really cool. Personally I feel the figure itself is still typical mcfarlane which I’m still not a fan of but hopefully this inspires other companies to try things like this

[@XanaxTheWisest]

Maybe one day marvel legends 😔 we will probably be dead from old age by then

[@Legoman136]

Mr criminal I love content

[@bigboi4488]

@@XanaxTheWisestI doubt marvel legends will give us wired or just cloth capes for normal price. We have 0 non plastics capes from them. Even Mattel is giving is giving us plastic and wired capes

[@RipVanWinkle3]

Always a W from Mr. Criminal

[@AGES1934]

I agree. I think the wired cape would look amazing on the animated series Batman figures. However the quality of the figure itself does need to change before I even consider buying a McFarlane Batman figure.

[@artistictoaster7134]

I feel like clothed goods should be normalized for 1/12 scale figures and it's making me happier and happier because I'm seeing it happen more

[@karascrow]

Plastic capes really are dogshit. I know they can be good for static poses though.

[@FlashStudios1934]

It’s kinda funny that figures of this scale back in the 60s and 70s WERE cloth goods, like old Superman dolls and stuff, and then we moved onto plastic, now we’ve looped back around 😂

[@Sharpburgers]

I'm starting my own action figure collection, and finding out that McFarlane will now be making wired capes is just funny to me because I just followed your tutorial on a wired cape for the McFarlane The Batman Movie Figure😂

[@take2studio187]

I’ve never really gotten into McFarland figures but this kinda makes me want to pick one up.

[@DeityLink69]

This makes me really hope they do this with Spawn figures,Spawn DEFINITELY needs the wire cape!

[@theplasticcrackjunkiesdrak1469]

Excellent shot. The new wired cape is a total game changer for these figures

[@brianng8350]

If McFarlane sent you the figures, you should reach out and get a statement from them if this is a one off or future. Personally, this would be great even if it is a gold label or even slightly higher price like $25. A future video is compare the wired capes from various manufacturers. The pros and cons of each. Price is probably one of the biggest differences. Personally, the rubber/plastic capes might look good, but I’ve always prefer the cloth goods wired or not.

[@ofpmarine]

That shot downtown is awesome!

[@sirdork730]

Thanks man!!

[@JoeJoe-xn3zv]

The Wrench is when he jumps into the gas chamber just when it is closing to save this guy named Rogers. He picks it up from a table and once inside breaks the chamber glass with it and escapes.

[@thisdayoff2253]

That was a fantastic photo.❤

[@munkead1220]

Love your work !!

[@LeifOftedal]

Sick ass figure. I definitely am grabbing one. Hope we get a re-release of Knightfall Bats with this kind of wired cape

[@matthewpilkington7665]

My favourite movie Batman is Christian Bale's portrayal in The Dark Knight Rises. With his low spirits after the second film then rallying up to be taken down hard by Bane, cast into the pit and then his eventually rise back to greatness, rallying the different elements in Gotham and then working with those elements to take back and save his city.

[@hankobs2366]

My favourite batman is definitely any Kevin Conroy role he really defined the character like no had done previously

[@Toyboxpixels]

Great video! I really like wired capes! I really hope that they start adding them to more action figures.

[@sirdork730]

Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for checking it out!

[@MarshySquid]

Well, that’s amazing. Might need to pick up one of these for myself.

[@blueblitz338]

I am very excited to get these figures

[@jimgillespie6109]

He looks awesome. I hope he shows up here in my small town. Anyway, to answer your question, in the story, the bad guy traps Batman under a huge glass dome, but fortunately, there's a wrench nearby, so he uses it to smash the dome.

[@user-cw9wc4kh5w]

Current fave is that Batfleck BVS......after some slight modifications.

[@aph1dqueen]

i dont know how much you're into Transformers or Jurassic Park but i think its worth checking out the Hammond Collection line (i reccomend either the Concavenator, Carnotaurus or the Therizinosaurus thats coming out soon) because the newer stuff from that line has some awesome articulation, thr Therizinosaurus has writsts and individually jointed claws! and as for Transformers, Studio Series concept art Megatron is one of the most poseable retail transformers out there, he has almost every single joint youd want, except for an an crunch

[@skywarp1216]

Hasbro killer right there

[@Fever_Ghoul]

I don’t think you’re blowing it out of proportion. The fact that we’re getting wired capes on figures at this price point is very exciting and impressive. It’s pretty easy to be cynical about this stuff, but plastic/rubber capes have been the norm and the fact that this is becoming more common means better band for our buck. Hopefully this will push the premium figure companies (Mafex, Mezco, etc.) to up their quality as well to differentiate the prices points. Stuff like this hopefully just continues to push companies into upping what they offer. I have a case filled with Mezco and Mafex figures and a decent amount of McFarlane Batman figures and the plastic capes really make them standout so hopefully the new cloth capes will make the figures in the case blend in more with the higher quality figs.

[@sirdork730]

Glad you think so! And I agree, hopefully we just keep seeing quality of figures improving all around. Thanks for watching!

[@johngrillo6292]

I just got the MacFarlane 6 pack of movie figures. Love them all.

[@danielblink2045]

Yes Batfleck from the 6 Pack looks perfectly spot-on that I find it baffling that Todd just simply repackage that one and call it BvS Batman rather than making a completely new figure.

[@chrisminton516]

Just found this channel randomly and I subscribed bc this stuff is right up my alley. Just curious as to how you acquired these particular figures? They arent available until May according to the MTS which is where I purchased them from.

[@sirdork730]

Hey thanks so much for subscribing 🙏 They were sent to me by Mcfarlane 🙇‍♂️

[@chrisminton516]

@sirdork730 That's awesome my man. How do I get in on that??? It would do my wallet good just to have them send me stuff as well....haha

[@SeanvanderM]

The Dune part 2 figures from McFarlane also come with wired capes, love it.

cloth capes are always a yes but i like the ones where the wire is optional, my favorite figure is of omnimon and his cape has optional wires you can add and remove at your leasure, sometimes you just want it to drape naturally yknow?

[@William_995]

They started wired capes to their Dune 2 figures, like last year, and that's a much smaller line so it was only a matter they did the same with DC Multiverse. Favourite Batman is Animated Series

[@MTB214]

McFarlane being a private company so they can change things up and can eat cost in one way to make more another. Spectre Creative who has been working in the toy industry for over 20 years had spoke on plastic vs fabric capes. It sometimes costs about the same. The wire makes it cost more.

[@alexshopov6802]

[@danielpurcell6159]

Wired capes for that price is a HUGE deal. Need a good Moon Knight with wired capes... Let's hope Hasbro gets their act together in the cape department.

[@KeijiMaeda86]

Toddfather in an interview at a toycon about a year or 2 ago explained that they couldn't do wired capes because of safety standards for kids toys. Same reason DC Multiverse figures don't come with gun accessories. He did mentioned at the time they were looking into expanding and seeing what is viable. I'm guessing wired caped figures will only ever be sold at specialty shops or mcfarlanetoys store directly and not at big retailers like Target or Walmart. It wasn't so much the cost but rather policy.

[@sirdork730]

This is super interesting! And makes a lot of sense actually 🤔 maybe we will only be seeing these capes for specialty figs like this one

[@brycecalixtitco]

ima buy this figure not because it has a wire but I want to have the original Batman but this is perfect for stop motion

[@knuclear200x]

Seems harder to find a Supes that we are really sold out on. Great video! 👍

The first appearance Batman and Azrael figure don't release until May. I pre-ordered through MTS and that's what they have as the ship date. I can tell you that Target is getting them as well. They will be in store by the end of April to get ready to be put out. I reccomend going to one on the release date and asking someone to check the back. 99.9% of the time they are back there because the designated shelf they go on isn't "set" yet. So they sit around until the system asigns them a floor location.
