Was looking up the Marvel Legends 20th, Hulk, and came across your site for Penquin wars. I have now found my new home for MacFarlane and Sideshow reviews. So subscribed, and ready for 5POA reviews up the wazoo! Thanks Jason, keep up the excellent reviews.

Awesome video! I love seeing the comparison. I actually passed on the MacFarlane figure for the Mattel one in my Batman '66 collection. I got mine pretty cheap off of eBay. You definitely hit the nail on the head on many of the reasons I'm happy with that decision!

Both of them are almost there but not quite in their own ways. I genuinely think Mattel's simpler sculpt looks more like Burgess Meredith, and he also has the accessories to go with him. I would go in and paint extra details all over that Mattel figure, including his face, hat, jacket and definitely add the stripes to his trousers. I'd also try to add some texture to his fluffy sections with either a dremel or by stippling some milliput on there, I'd add a small lens to his monocle (though he doesn't really need it) and make it the screen-accurate tortoiseshell colour. Then I'd replace that cigarette holder with something more to-scale, and I think you'd have the perfect figure.

Mcfarlane should do the Christopher Reeve Superman and Linda Carter Wonder Woman to line up and in scale with these figures so we can have a retro heros line.. there was even a Shazam in that time period.

I'd be down for that!

I think a Christopher Reeve Superman figure probably be in his 7 in line, the one Superman figure I think could work in this retro-style is a George Reeves Superman figure
@MrTagalish Жыл бұрын
@Fanatic Mitchell Oh yeah.. why not both? And even a gray variant of the George Reeves to line up with the gray batman figures they've been doing.

No umbrella!? When super powers has your accessories beat... that is a problem.
@5POAFigureReviews2 жыл бұрын
Yeah. An umbrella is the bare minimum. It would be like making a Jason Vorhees without a machete. Or Darth Vader without a lightsaber.

I’m leaning towards Mattel’s just because that one has the umbrella. Good video

Great work. How about a Joker 66 Mattel vs McFarlane video?
@5POAFigureReviews2 жыл бұрын
Always a possibility. In the meantime, I do have a video up on the McFarlane Joker along with Robin and the Batcave playset.

The Penguin without an umbrella is not the Penguin! I heard that McFarland wasn't allowed to include weapons with any of the Batman 66 figure line. I do like the McFarland face better.

when At&t bought WB they started banning alot of stuff.
@5POAFigureReviews2 жыл бұрын
The umbrella seems like a weird thing to ban, though. On the surface, it's just an umbrella.

Mattel wins hands down. Actually looks like the actor, MacFarlane's looks like the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Band Bang for one.
@5POAFigureReviews2 жыл бұрын
Oh wow you're right. I didn't see it before but now I can't unsee it.
@PeterTennant2 жыл бұрын
Mattel wins because the likeness to Burgess Meredith is spot on where McFarlane isn't. I the figures from this series I would pick up are Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar Catwomen unless they make other characters like All 3 Mr Freeze George Sanders, Otto Premiger and Eli Wallace. Egghead,King Tut, Bookworm, Marsha Queen of Dimonds, Ma Parker, Louie The Lilac. Love to See Yvonne Craig Batgirl. What would be amazing is a 5 pack with Batman and Robin, Green Hornet and Kato, Colonel Gun (or General Gum from the Sequal Comic). I want a Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Alan Napier Alfred, Madge Blake Aunt Harriet, Neil Hamilton Commissioner Gordon and Stafford Repp Cheif O'Hara

Just announced new figures, a playset, and a vehicle to be revealed on June 30, so here is hoping for some items on your wishlist! I would be happy with just Batgirl, Egghead, Freeze, Mad Hatter, Tut, and Alfred.

Which Penguin is better Mattel or Mcfarlane?
@5POAFigureReviews2 жыл бұрын
Well, it really depends on what you're looking for. McFarlane is better sculpted and painted, and is only $18. Mattel is better articulated and has his umbrella, and he fits in with the other McFarlane's well enough that I prefer him. The only downside is his big, droopy cigarette holder.
