McFarlane actually CAN make a good Batman

[@ToyCollector82]

It's been pretty unanimous that this is _the_ best Batman figure McFarlane ever made. This figure reminds me of Tom Mandrake's artwork from the mid 80's

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Well I’m new to the club haha

[@bigboi4488]

I’d say the speeding bullets Batman is the best McFarlane Batman figure. He has better articulation and proportions. I mean it’s technically Superman but it’s sold as Batman and looks more like Batman than Superman

[@ToyCollector82]

@@bigboi4488 I have that figure and it's pretty badass!

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

This is what Y2 Batman “Should” have been. Love this figure but now that I have it, not sure that I need another Batdude. I wonder if that’s the reason other companies have hesitated to make a “definitive” Batman? 🤔

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Great question! What truly makes a definitive Batman?

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed lol, I suppose it’s a controversial subject, as some have made the point there is no such thing. So I guess it’s really subjective, but my “definitive” Batman is the blue & grey with yellow oval. As close to the way Neal Adams depicted him as possible. So for me, this is it. But I also really like the Pattinson one and so I have that figure as well.

[@braddecker1857]

Pretty cool review. Its funny that you would post this, because I just got this in the mail from Amazon the other day. Im still thinking about getting the Mafex Knightfall Batman. I could really kick myself in the shin for not getting the Mafex Blue and Grey Hush Batman when I had the chance.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Mafex will probably melt our faces off lol

[@zeroyagami7753]

I have a few issues with mcfarlane figures, but at $20 it's hard to complain when they release a banger like this Knightfall Batman.

Right there with you

Blue and gray is my favorite comic Batman,and 89 is my fav movie batman

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Excellent choices

[@schadenfreudeind]

I generally avoid McFarlane toys because of the diaper life and, let's face it, I need another line to collect like I need a grapnel in the throat. But this one looks pretty, pretty good

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

It does and it works better than I expected with the movie turtles

[@megagraymon8094]

It’s really good to see you finally give mcfarlane another chance, even though you were generally positive in your review of the flash movie figures, it was unfortunate that those were your first impression of the line. If you are a DC fan at all I really recommend you watch some mcfarlane dc multiverse collection videos to see what other great comic figures they have done, as there are soooo many of them. The movie figures just aren’t as good due to the likenesses. But similar to NECA, mcfarlane has great sculpts and generally pretty good paint, especially compared to marvel legends which is 90% reuse of the same 3 sculpts.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, every once in a while I see something that really stands out. I’m hoping to see a new Superman that is as appealing as this Batman. I don’t like the overly beefy versions at all

[@Inikalord]

Yes. More McFarlane, more videos! The new Superman/Doomsday and Batman/Spawn two packs would be right up your alley as well possibly.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

The Doomsday man bun kills it for me 😂

[@nicolasgregory7207]

McFarlane figures are so odd sometimes. I collect heavily the Warhammer 40k series and their Anime figures for Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia. Sometimes the figures (In the anime lines) feel very hit or miss like they had one drunk guy making one figure and a dude with some skill making the other. It also goes for their chase figures. Some chase figures are incredible. Others are like the chase Deku where they stamped lightning effects on the front of the figure but completely skipped the back LOL. Now... The Warhammer 40k line? I dont' have much negative to say about it. They are amazing, beefy hunks of plastic and I have a lot of fun practicing customizing on them and practicing painting on the Artist Proof versions.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha sounds like a great line for the Warhammer stuff. Do you mess with the JoyToy stuff? 1/18th scale

[@nicolasgregory7207]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed I haven't. They look amazing but seem a little pricey for the size.

I just got the black suit Knightfall variant today, and man, it's beautiful (the grey parts are still grey, just slightly darker than the standard version, and the blue parts are black). TBH it looks more a Killing Joke Batman than a Knightfall Batman though.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I bet that looks good!

[@carlgibson285]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed it really does! I literally only decided to start collecting action figures this week, thanks in part to your videos (I only have 4 so far, all DC - Bloodsport, Lobo, Midnighter and Batman), but I'm pretty sure he's the only Batman I'll ever need.

[@olo7941]

Is McFarlane actually getting good?

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Still hit or miss

[@basicfacekick]

Cloth cape and more hands would have knocked this out of the park. Given the reception of this figure, I wouldn't be surprised if McF re-releases this as a deluxe type set with those options in the future. It's a gorgeous Batman. The sculpt and proportions and articulation are dynamite. And that price at $20... he could almost charge twice that if he threw in a few accessories.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Hope it happens!

[@ioncewasmikey]

Uncle Todd would never dream of rereleasing a figure, especially not Batman! 😅

[@Doesmachine87]

Saw it with a wired cape and it elevates the figure to eleven

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yes! A creator on instagram does a lot of capes and said this was next

[@jamesoblivion]

Considering the absolute GLUT of McFarlane Batman figures, there have been very few comic book Batman figures worth buying, in my opinion...and fewer still in blue and grey. Hush Batman was briefly at the top of that list, but Knightfall Batman edges him out. This figure looks like my childhood.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Oh, nice. I should check that version out!

[@jamesoblivion]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed The Hush Batman is a very good modern blue/grey design. There are a few minor issues, particularly with some of the hands, but overall, an iconic looking figure. Just not as iconic as this one.

[@jnelly814]

I just picked up the Dick Grayson Batman blue variant today and it looks pretty similar but also has the cloth cape with the wire. Its really great.

[@Supertomscustoms]

I just can’t get over the extra beefy legs and diapers on all the McFarlane figures. If you look at his old drawings of Wolverine and Cap you can see why he’s a fan of the giant crotch piece.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Hahaha ruins a sculpt unnecessarily!

[@sirfrancois8888]

That's literally my one biggest gripe with most McFarlane figs I do like.. I will admit that it does break up the sculpt but it helps so much with posability and tho this batman doesn't, a large amount of the figs have accessories or straps that could easily hide the cut and they just dont do it.. if you're into just standing em in static/neutral/heroic poses it works great but as soon as you want an action pose (my preference) it just looks stiff and hardly works.

[@pants989]

yeah I love it on the DKR Batman, that little cut doesn't bother me and he's way more fun to pose. I feel like it's extra helpful on these figs without boot swivels @@sirfrancois8888
