Most expensive set is the WORST set! (Part 2)

We review the most expensive set of the Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures from DC Collectibles. These figures come from the animated movie, but the Batman and Leonardo set are among the worst so far. I hope the rest of the Batman vs TMNT line holds up!

The "weird" Batman hands are for Raph's sai. He gets to hold them in the movie to use it on his science gajigger to find out where they're from.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Perfect! Now I gotta get me a Raph!

[@jackkawf4449]

Not really, Batman has several covers and comic panels where he's held his batarangs in his knuckles

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

@@jackkawf4449 if he is holding more than one, yes. Just one? Probably not between the fingers this hand is set for. And these are movie specific not comic specific

[@jameslohr4943]

This series is definetly a "stand there stoicly looking cool" set. If you get Mikey as Batman, you won't be disappointed. He's the best out of them all for sure.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

He seems to be the most fun. Hopefully I can snatch one up!

[@Chalor.]

For me, that Bat Mikey is the least desirable one of them all. I didn't pick that one up, or the heavily discounted Shredder and Ra's al Ghul pack. I kinda regret not getting that set, but zero regrets on Bat Mikey! lol *No offense, considering you dig it so much; just not my bag.

[@jameslohr4943]

@@Chalor. no problem at all, people have different tastes. I like it not only because I think it looks cool but the joints were better than most of the other set. At least mine was.

Great review as always Johnathan! I got all these at GameStop when they came out, these were my first turtle figs in a while, I gave them all to my son, they’re definitely not Neca quality, but cool to just play around with. The Ras Al Gul is surprisingly great looking and has a great headsculpt.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Good to know! Maybe he will find his way into the collection too. Haha. Glad your son is able to enjoy them

[@DrVRhodes7541]

Glad I got these when i did. They are a fun set once you get all of them and have them displayed together. Definitely not for busy handed types. Gotta pose them and let them be, and not near the front of the shelf. Lol

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha, yeah, unfortunately just a couple issues cause them to be in the back lol

Hate constantly seeing videos or photos of out of circulation figures where my first reaction is "no no that was on clearance you can go to Gamestop and-" Not anymore! Rare and long dried up. Great review! Love videos of random gets.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you! Wish I got these things on clearance!

[@TheSalemCrow]

As I commented on the Donnie/Batgirl video, I got these all when they originally came out. Being a fan of both properties, and having loved the comics the movie was based on, which I also loved, these were worth the retail price when they came out. Even better if you had been able to get some on sale after they hung around for a bit. As far as articulation for the ENTIRE set, this was DC Collectibles, and they RARELY did double jointed elbows or great head articulation before they started the Icons line towards the end. These have better, and MORE articulation that the standard DC Collectibles figure did, and thankfully the joints were not made of clear plastic, which had a tendency to crumble to dust over time.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Ohhhhh those are good notes!! Thank you! And clear, crumblies sound awful

[@jovious82]

I totally agree, I actually like these figures a lot... I mean... Look at my picture lol. When they were new they posed great and stayed in poses well excluding batgirl, and Alfred, ankles just seemed weak. Out of the box they actually move unlike.. you know.. Neca, there's no way I could get those poses without a hairdryer or warm water and they still might break.

[@Chalor.]

6:33 Haha! You were wrong with believing that dumb dumb box, cause those area scabbards. But you can _totally_ keep calling them scabbards and grapnel guns.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Whatever I can use against Hatter I will. The box is on my side

[@ryantheanimator1156]

I remembered wanted to get these sets because I liked the movie so much and they look very accurate, but seeing their articulation being so limited so I passed on them.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

[@Chalor.]

I don't _really_ have anything else to add, just want to say something positive after my vicious attack comment on you. So, um...I still have these figures in the box! Well, I did open this set, and fondled Batman to see that the cape just fits right over the neck, which is how *every* Batman cape should be. So yeah, my whole plan was to add a wired cape...that I've yet to do. And Batman is still sitting on my office desk for about as long as it's been out.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

MAKE.THAT.CAPE! haha, and you're right, I love the seamlessness of the cape to head

[@BoogSReviews]

The Batman and Leo set is the last one I need but it isn’t worth the money imo. I have every set but it, and they’re so fragile and have such thin pegs that I rarely pose the ones I do have around. Mine had so many issues. I think I gave like $32 for all the sets I do have at GameStop. It’s funny how when these were first released, GameStop practically couldn’t give them away 😂

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

It’s so strange. I wonder what hurt the king so much beyond being an exclusive. Certainly not worth more than the retail pricing, but you got an incredible deal

[@jam9852]

Wow even the box packaging looks cheap.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha, true

[@johnfronczek2658]

If you want a good Batman figure, I suggest you buy a nice McFarlane Multiverse or Mattel DC Universe figure.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Definitely need to find a solid one. Looking forward to the new animated series stuff announced at SDCC

[@stephenbaskerville7308]

Love ur stuff very entertaining! I definitely bought these on their initial release jic I wanted them later🤷🏽‍♂️lol. Side note Leo has scabbards google search shows, “A sheath is usually just made of leather and is flexible. Scabbards are usually made of wood, sometimes covered in leather, and are stiff” so thats the big diff they’re wooden and stiff so scabs it is. Cant wait for the rest of them to be reviewed 👍🏽💯

I watched every review you did on this line of figures, and I still decided I absolutely needed them on my shelves😅 i know the articulation isn’t great and the weapons need to be handled with more care than usual, but the molds are just so perfect, ripped straight from the movie (which is fantastic btw) and I don’t know how long it may be before we get another round of a crossover this amazing that works so well😭 bout to clear a shelf to display these, the Batman vs. Tmnt Omnibus, and blu ray (in slip cover)😎 I’m a big bat boy and more recently got into the turtles because I wasn’t allowed to enjoy them as a kid, and since they crossed over with my original first love from the world of superheroes… I just wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t have these in my collection❤

My Leonardo’s arms thankfully haven’t popped out. Though I skipped out on getting Batman with Leo, even though the sculpt on Batman is mostly good, he literally had no chin. But yeah if he’s more prone to the pegs popping out, then It’s good that I skipped on that Batman.

Would you believe that the Batman from this set is the ONLY Batman action figure I own?? True story. I also love this Batman. He gives me old school Adam West Batman vibes. I dig the blue. I dig him. The cape material is awesome and lays really nicely...but a wire would be nice, I agree with you there. Leo is OK, and I haven't broken the swords yet. Yet... I have to say that my least favorite figures from these DC sets are Shredder and Ra's al Ghul. They aren't BAD, per se, I just don't care for those characters in those looks. But fuck it, they were, like, $9 each, and they make decent enough background low-level hoodlums. Nice review!
