Top 10 Best Batman Action Figures | List Show #25

[@theseanwardshow]

The 1989 Toy Biz Batman was nuts how it had two heads - the chubby version and then the reissue big ears version

[@jimdarklighter1482]

I think it would be much more awesome if you could just show the pictures much longer or you could just show the picture as long as you are talking about it because your videos are kind of long and we tend to forget what figure you are talking about... anyway, thank you if you're going to take this as a positive feedback from us subscribers... by the way, i'm such a big fan of your humor... :)

[@mr.motormaster9881]

yes...listen to Alfred..you need to show more the pictures.👍

[@jmo13322]

jim darklighter. I'm inclined to agree!

[@toolkills]

jim darklighter dude couldn't agree more !!!!

[@mitchell7309]

Totally agree with this ... Including the comment about his awesome humor. Typically a lot of humor in these KZbin review videos are horrendous. Particularly dork humor. But this guy is actually genuinely funny.

[@mrmutantlarry]

Each figure shad 5 sec of screen time so that 50 secs of action figures in an 8 min video about action figures. So yeah.

[@ofpenandpaper2922]

"...They lack a proper thigh swivel JUST LIKE DAN." Best line ever.🤣

[@commanderspyder5432]

"He's not the smartest" Mr.Cena: Are you sure about that.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

+Commander Spyder I am sure about that. Yes.

[@TheLeoLegendary10]

By far one of the best action figure channels I've seen! More subs deserved! Keep up the great work

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Thanks! We'll keep making them if you keep watching.

[@toolkills]

This guy has a really good thing going here . Very articulate knowledgeable sounding dude . The only thing is.....show the pictures for the duration of each description . Showing the pictures for 5 seconds is a huge huge mistake . Your channel is already awesome. If you fixed this one simple thing I would be totally hooked. Keep the pictures up there through each entry/description !! Also maybe more pictures if possible . If u can't find any than no worries ....just leave the pictures up there .

[@cf2228]

Yes,maybe also a larger picture.

[@loserlife4721]

Rip Adam west

[@SamuelG2000]

Loser Life Yea, so sad he really was awesome back in the day.

[@cavespider1074]

Whoa whoa whoa, no Batman the Animated Series from DC Collectables?

[@marinehulk119]

They're fragile as hell

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Seconded.

[@trans8010]

Not to mention the head sculpt is way off, from the original animation model. The ears are wrong, the eyes are wrong, and the paint rubs off with only light handling. The joints have been fixed, as I haven't had any issues with breakage, but that initial assortment were like glass. It scared off a lot of collectors.

[@lonewolfmcquade1079]

+Carmine Annunziat0 the anniversary one

[@NTEDOG561]

They suck I bought two figures and they both broke

[@zacharyflanders2116]

DC Direct released a 2009 4 Arkham Asylum action figure box set with a comic book included. This set featured a bodybuilder muscled batman in a classic looking costume. It wasn't based on any particular era but remains one of my favorite Batman figures.

[@PeterTennant]

no he is the smartest that's why he is on the justice league. he may not have powers but he is the leader of the gods.

[@thebirdofbludhaven8647]

Peter Tennant I've always seen superman as the leader of the jla

[@firefly44220]

Superman leads the Justice League

[@KingOfHalla]

Superman is easily as smart, if not more-so.

[@john_doe406]

no superman is not as smart as batman

[@davitlekiashvili7816]

our right

[@citizengar]

Excuse me, I have to go get a second job so I can afford all these.

[@JerOfTheDead]

Can we get a top ten Joker action figures?

[@JerOfTheDead]

@That Guy same, when I wrote this I was collecting joker figures, I was looking for some new figures to get. Kinda gave up lol.

[@Snowmation]

I have the 7" NECA '89 Batman and 100% love the thing. Sadly, was never able to get the 7" NECA Adam West Batman.

[@graefx]

They could keep producing One 12 DKR figures and he'd still always be sold out.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

#truth

[@graefx]

#Idbuyhalfofthem

[@lonewolfmcquade1079]

+Toy Galaxy I really LIKE the anniversary Neca Mike Keaton Batman, Think it's perfectly screen accurate to Keaton who is my favorite Batman awesome review.

[@lonewolfmcquade1079]

+Carmine Annunziat0 and he looks awesome in that 1 pose

[@SonnyDlicious]

WOW! I saw the number one pick of Dan's a whole 4 seconds!!! I got to see Dan's face a whole 8 minutes...arrrģgg!!! Showcase the TOYS!

[@derekcavin7665]

Great reviews as always. I like the fact that you laugh at yourself.

[@theseanwardshow]

I didn't collect almost any of the Batman '66 figures from the last few years because they all have that stupid joint in the middle of the chest that I hate.

[@tryksta7247]

No way in hell is that ICONS figure the best Batman figure. His sculpt does look beautiful from a distance. But up close, he's just too tiny and his arms are disproportionally short compared to his legs. I question whether this Batman is actually Bruce Wayne or Dick Grayson, which would explain his tiny size. In any event, the DCSH black Batman update deserved #1. But there are many, many Batman figures not even included here, like DC Direct Search For Kryptonite Batman, or Batman & Son, New 52 Batman, etc. Some are more articulate while others completely capture his likeness in great detail.

[@mrfister1234]

Late reply but it's been confirmed by people that OT IS dick grayson. Dick has always been a tad smaller than bruce. It's his strength that separates him from bruce

[@pigeonboy7696]

he’s dick

[@wubangaz36murphy6]

@ 6:10 LMFAO , sorry but ... your FACE! LMFAO 😆😄😅😆😄😄😆😂😂😂😁😀😁😅😄😆😀😁😀

[@alejandroreyes7368]

For me Mezco Dark Knight Returns is the best, Dc Collectibles Batman Hush and Batman from Batman a Son a tie in second, third should be Batman Amored from Alex Ross Justice

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Great list. That Armored Ross one is gorgeous but more like a stature in terms of articulation. Not that the NECA figures are exactly crazy poseable, of course. Ross Batman probably would have been in my 11-15.

[@lefty7127]

#3 is the best and most classic Batman among black suits.

[@seanmashia3129]

I like the mafex BvS Batman figure. Definitely top three IMO.

[@nabil79able]

An advise :fans would like to see the figures for longer time. They have to watch you instead. You should have displayed the figures and commenting simultaneously better as putting the pictures on for one second.

[@aquilesbrinco4022]

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kalebisdrab]

Am I the only one who absolutely loves the Batman Arkham Asylum series 1 Batman? I love the sculpt and the articulation doesn't bug me. I really enjoy the difference variants of the sculpt from the Arkham City line with the different gauntlets and boots. I don't know what it is and that figure that I love so much but there hasn't been a better Batman figure for me. I know people don't like how many times he's been rereleased with different paint jobs and retools but I always welcome that figure Into my collection and I'm always happy to have more variants of him from different releases.

[@douglassfunnie9959]

I heard 'Not the Smartest' and already my neckbeard is in a tizzle!!

[@snakefate9888]

Batman is the smartest though.

[@jamesoblivion]

The 2007 Mattel DC Superheroes Batman recycles almost the entirety of their Select Sculpt figure from the previous year. Aside from wearing a blue costume, rather than the 2007's black, and a few small details like the belt buckle, it's virtually the same top-tier Batman figure, but can be found on the secondary market for much, much less. I happened upon it by chance, in store, in 2006, and it's been my favorite Batman ever since.

[@rickyblitz9679]

Proud to say I own the blue and the black and grey Mattel dc superheroes batman figures as well as the black mezco, they're all incredible and I'd highly recommend them

[@mitchellmayne5002]

"Not the smartest"? I'd have to disagree there!

[@Sammo212]

God, that 1989 Batman figure rocked.

[@MALDINGAS]

No Sh figuarts, no mafex TDK Batmen?

[@Arlington20082]

I like the review but mines differs greatly. 1. Mezco Batman (TDKR) 2. Greg Capullo Batman 2015 3. Mezco Armored Batman (BvS) 4. Mafex Batman (BvS) 5. Neca Batman 1989 6. DC Collectibles Batman Arkham Origins 7. DC Direct Batman New 52 8. DC Icons Batman 2016 9. DC Essentials Batman New 52 10. DC Collectibles Batman Animated Series (2015)

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

It's tough because there are SO many Batman figures out there there's no way to even take a fair survey of what's available. I eliminated or downgraded the Mezco stuff because I'm just not a fan of cloth outfits at that scale. I ALMOST included the DC Collectibles BTAS figures but the poseability is worse than the old Kenner figures and they are so fragile. Once again, great list! Thank again for posting!

[@BanksyMane]

Dan can't help but throw in old figures that, while the best of their time, don't hold up in a modern 'top 10' list :p

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I'd put Toybiz Batman up against MOST modern figures. Mego as well. We'll see if they have the same kind of influence, and resilience in 30 years that those figures had. For me, "best" means more than detail and articulation. No one wants a "best" list that's all figures that came out last year.

[@prathamsrivastava7111]

Arlington Forbes Greg capullo batman was effin great

[@totallynotasentientactionf9519]

I gotta say I personally love the S.H. Figuarts Dark Knight Batman. He's got better articulation then most DC icons figures and also has awesome accessories.

[@firefly44220]

I hit "like". The sound was worth it.

[@patrickdupew9060]

I have the blue variant of the 2007 DC superheroes one. I picked it up at a vintage toy shop for like $20 in package. It IS the Batman figure that beats all other Batman digures

[@elijahpaulpatriarca8963]

I can't BELIEVE he just said Batman's NOT the smartest DC superhero.

[@rmn0019]

Elijah Paul Patriarca he isnt

[@sirdaveysockrocker]

The batman figure I have on my JL shelf is the young justice batman figure. It has most of the poseability of the dc classics line, but also has the cape over the shoulder more than most poseable batman figures, and I dig that look.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

That's a sharp looking Batman indeed. I like the look of the cape even though it limits his articulation range.

[@henryferkey4505]

Mattel's First Appearance Batman and Mattel's Superfriends animated series Batman with c-clip fabric cape, batarang and grapple gun are great for me. Mattel's Dark Knight Returns figures were good also.

[@philipslattery2883]

I had the 1989 batman. I loved clipping off the Cape.

[@roguecajun]

You can put the DC Superheroes Batman at number 1 if you count the DCUC Batman Legacy Modern Age Batman as the same figure since it is except for the head and the color scheme. It's still available at reasonable prices on the secondary market, and all you have to do to make it look better is swap heads with any standard DCUC Batman to get rid of the Sinestro Corps Batman head.

[@swolby9230]

Should have waited for Sovereign Knight Batman from Mezco.

[@glennwelsh9784]

I've wanted that DCSH Batman for YEARS. Dan's right in saying that it's hard to get, and the ones that you can find are well over $100. I do own the blue-and-gray variant, which I was able to pick up on eBay for nowhere near as much as the prized black-and-gray version.

[@mitchell7309]

I’m selling one in mint condition on eBay RIGHT now if you’re interested *shrug*

[@nachogroucho]

This could easily be a top 50 so many great batman figures have been thrown at us over the years.

[@Commander_Shepard.]

Have you ever heard of The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Oh and about Arkham Series of video games?

[@tariqkhonji6556]

Most adored character period

[@pao3563489]

My wife found the 2007 Mattel dc superheroes at the times square toys r us just before Christmas, she bought me the whole wave.

[@HartKu]

Your number 1 is a bit surprising, but a strong list overall.

[@mitchell7309]

Mezco One:12 BvS Batman, Mattel Select Sculpt Black n Grey Batman, Neca Keaton Batman, Mattel Arkham Origins Batman, SHF Bale The Dark Knight is the top 5 for me.

[@anthonylewis536]

I got 7 out of 10 on this list. 1-5 are a must have.

[@Brian-mi5kg]

loving the more frequent videos! I look forward to your videos the most out of any of my subscriptions :)

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Thanks!

[@MikeFrazee222]

I had the #10, 89. It didn't last too long, lost its parts and belt broke. It's the only batman figure I had.

[@markshadows3667]

I distinctly remember the Toy Biz 89 Batman having a different head than the one you showed.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I think there are 4 different heads that were produced.

[@jonathanjones8738]

Yeah 4, a round jaw, a more keaton like face, a square jaw, and I forget the fourth

[@CamelMoonStudios]

The video is sorta incorrect in saying it's a Keaton likeness because the photo used in reference for the video is a repainted Super Powers figure. It's known as the Estrela Batman and was only produced in Brazil. It's the rarest mass produced figure. It goes upwards of $350 on ebay.

[@DemeterPictures]

5 versions if you count the Estrela batman release...id say the rarest batman figure is the attack armor on card batman released over in Europe. Im a proud owner of both.

[@CamelMoonStudios]

The rarest one I've come across was the Glow in the Dark, Mission Masters 4, Deluxe Aerial Ambush Batman. It's so rare, he only appears on the back of his own card.

[@K7-LEETHA]

Just like the real Batman if you squeeze his legs together, you’ll get punched by him lol that had me dying 😅

[@TheDuganater]

Me: *Watches in 2021* TG: "Smells like Adam West!" Me: "Oh, no..."

[@XrisD147]

Hot toys '89 Batman is pretty sweet but really expensive now.

[@MisterSouji]

Dc Icons has vastly improved, it's a shame it's pretty much cancelled.

[@cerebros3671]

Mego 3-3/4” Pocket Heroes Batman. Best piece of Batman-related memorabilia of all time. If you disagree, you’re wrong.

[@martinwhipkey9343]

Great video! When I was real young (3 or so) I had the 1980 "Powerized Batman Climbing Figure." I loved it...unfortunately lost track of it at some point. I wish I still had it, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

[@FreshMootz]

Honorable mention should go to Allfeck Batman Bobblehead in the BvsS movie.

[@WaitingtoHit]

Sorry, if it doesn't have the yellow emblem, it's not Batman. In the realm of superheroes, iconography is important.

[@eazybe1]

The Batman Incorporated Batman figure by DC Direct is my personal favourite. He looks awesome!

[@congydave]

Dan and team! Have you done the the Batman Hot Toys top 10 yet?

[@MrGAMEGOD007]

THE 12" TALL BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT VARIANT OR THE 24" TALL BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT FIGURE BY NECA ARE THE BEST IN MY BOOK.

[@deadendkido]

I don't care about superheroes figures, but i still dig your videos. Even this one. Also, did you purchase any Mythic Legions figure?

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Thank you for watching nonetheless. I wasn't able to get in on the Mythic Legions but keep checking to see if stuff ever comes back in stock.

[@ethansensbach5500]

My favorite is definitely the Capullo Batman, such a great figure.

[@musicaentuidioma1545]

That moment you realize you gave your 2007 Mattel Batman to your cousin but didn't realize it.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Find out if he recently came into a considerable sum of cash.

[@CeroneGamesGo]

No Arkham Knight Batman? Thats crazy. Good Video

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

That suit design though. Ugh.

[@jessiemartinez4441]

Did he say he wasn't the smartest? Batmans a freakin Genius.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Genius he may be... but is he the smartest?

[@dougpoarch9392]

DC Direct Hush Batman is still one of my favorite Batman figures. It suffered from limited articulation, but completely nailed Jim Lee's Batman. Lee's influence is still felt in the character and combines the classic blue and grey with modern realism. Not sure why it didn't even make the list.

[@eduardolamboy4776]

Cuz Mafex Jim Lee versions took care of that.

[@loliH9]

I don't like armored Batman at all but why no mention of Mafex or Figuarts?

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

+loliH9 They were not released at the time this video was posted.

[@loliH9]

Toy Galaxy But the Figuarts and the TDK and TDKR Mafex are kind of old.

[@werecam56]

I have the DC Collectibles Greg Capullo Batman and it has great sculpt and articulation. My only issue is it has very stiff joints that are hard to move but I definitely think it deserves a spot in this list.

[@figureJapan]

amazing video ! thanks

[@spidergumdrop1696]

I wish the pictures where on the screen for longer than a second or two.

[@22Phantasm]

How can you say he's not the smartest? Batman is said to be one of the best detectives on the planet. You need to be smart for that. You say he's not smart but then say he's clever.... oh dear.

[@RU-STAH]

Whoa no Batman origins figure ? That was the best Batman for me for the price.

[@Minus5Stars]

I've got the mafex dark knight version- bit flimsy but I think it looks great when you get it in a pose on the shelf

[@nadiadribrats7239]

Nice List.I think my favorite is the Alex Ross Batman figure.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

It looks great but has limitations to articulation. Probably would been somewhere 11-15 on my list if I had gone a little further.

[@nadiadribrats7239]

Toy Galaxy Agreed, he isn't t the most possible but I think he has this great wise, and heroic stance when displayed.

[@mamunestor]

The last rights DC icons Batman is amazing. I like the Nightwing also.

[@seriouscyrus33]

What's up with the fart sound bit at 1:19 when mentioned Michael Keaton batman lmao

[@gentlemanjames6514]

The style in which this video is produced bothered me. Hear me out. Very few pictures of the actually figures were shown to accompany the narration. While the host talks about all the paint apps and accessories, perhaps adding pictures of said things would’ve helped a novice of DC figures get a better idea of what the host was talking about. Just an idea, and that was my first impression upon seeing the video.

[@xxDarkMegamanxx]

What about Figuarts Injustice Batman? A slew of accessories, diecast parts, excellent sculpt, exclusive fully masked head (I heard supposedly because the Japanese prefer their heroes fully masked don't know if that's true or not), import figure articulation and he's not so expensive in the secondary market compared to when he was first introduced.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Not a fan of the suit design or the Injustice storyline in general.

[@ageeksadventureswoohoo9213]

Lol ok your last comment answers why Arkham Batman wasn't on the list. Overall great choices. However my favorite is the legends of the dark Knight dark Knight detective Batman. Old school, ie meh, articulation but I love the sculpt and massive voluminous Kelly Jones inspired cape. Love the list and watching more!!!

[@BDogCarter]

That Mezco Batman is real nice...

[@danwilliams1989]

I hope the upcoming SH Figuarts 1989 Batman figure will be just as good, if not, better than the NECA figure.

[@MartinsGeekStoreAGS91]

SH figuarts Dark Knight being #1, Mafex Batman Begins being #2 the posable cape and interchangeable parts only down side is buying other Mafex figures to get those parts.

[@dariusq8894]

My favorite Batman figs aren't even Bruce Wayne. 1. Knightfall Batman - Azrael as Batman w/ rubber cape 2. DC Universe - Classics 2 Pack Knighfall - Azrael Batman

[@mlgbanana4027]

I have the 2008 Mattel DC Universe Classics Crime Stopper Batman

[@jaycornu3351]

what about the Toys R Us exclusive Mattel batman and robin 2 pack batman, if you're asking why the 2 pack version well thats because while the figure is the same as the regular 2003 matel batman (i believe it was 2003) the cape in the 2 pack was much longer and wider giving it that beautiful cloth flow to it allowing it for some nice posing,i have mine displayed on the corner of my cupboard with the cape draping down each side of my cupboard, when i open my window and the wind blows it just looks lovely. anyway sorry i had to make mention of it.

[@acereview7968]

Kenner Super Powers Batman is my #1!!

[@Clay3613]

WTF?! Why is Combat Belt Batman the only figure to match his TAS look, but also insanely expensive!?

[@rickleo2159]

I also like the 1990 kenner iron winch batman

[@JHernandez]

I'm really hoping DCC paid y'all off to say Icons Bats is the best.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Me too but I keep refreshing my Papal account and nothing is happening.

[@JHernandez]

+Toy Galaxy The eyebrows ... and the weird scale. Oof. It's just really rough, IMO.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

I hear ya and I would expect a LOT of people to disagree with me on that. More than have disagreed already as a matter of fact.

[@michaelskoufatos6108]

Not one single Play Arts Kai figure? Some of those look better than the side shows!

[@StevieStitches]

I feel a heavy dose of nostalgia watching this with the Toybiz Michael Keaton Batman and Mego doll Adam West style Batman especially. Gave me a nice flashback. The NECA Michael Keaton Batman is my current favorite. I notice an absence of the DC Direct ones. I really dig the DC Direct First Appearance Batman figure based on the 1939 original Batman. I should try and do a video of all of my Batman figures together some day.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

It's amazing how well Batman has been able to connect to pretty much every generation since he was created. The desire for justice and lack of superpowers makes him timelessly relatable. Not to mention the badass theme of "bats" and being super rich.

[@rothgamez]

I just bought the #1 spot Batman the other day. I'm so happy with it.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

It took a while... but it grew on me.

[@rothgamez]

Toy Galaxy For me it's really just the color scheme. I love the blue and grey suit.

[@TheBorderGeek]

Great stuff. Would've liked to have seen 8-Bit NECA repaint and DC Direct Hush.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Thanks! Personally I just do not like those 8 bit repaints. I like the IDEA of them, and I LOVED that batman NES game. But as a figure, they just don't work for me.

[@wubangaz36murphy6]

84' 89' & 08' 🤘😎🤘 are tha BEST!!! of ALL-TIME!!! .PERIOD.

[@happydayz1834]

🤛😜🤙🗯️Oh Yeah!!!.. I even had the gold trim bad boy! But my favourite was the little fat penguin with the umbrella!...how the hell am I remembering this capitalist shit? ...So sad! Sort of???

[@greenlanternhg5141]

Cyborg uses his finger to hack a satellite?!? 😶 oooh! Hack! I thought you said...never mind 😁

[@Arlington20082]

Okay so i have new top ten list on Batman and Superman figures. 1. Mezco (BvS) Batman 2. Mezco (TDKR) Batman 3. Mezco Armored Batman (BvS) 4. Mafex (BvS) Batman 5. Greg Capullo Batman (New 52) 6. Mafex (BvS) Armored Batman 7. DC Films Armored Batman (BvS) 8. Neca Batman 1989 9. DC Collectibles Arkham Origins Batman 10.DC Icons Rebirth Batman

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

Clean sweep from Mezco!

[@nickmaster512]

i have the dc total heroes batman figure that is an awesome figure hes nicely poseable and comes with two batarangs and his grapple gun hes my favorite batman figure and should have at least had an honorable mention but the ones you listed are also cool good pics plus batman is my all time favorite superhero and would like to collect other figures of him a big thumbs up :3

[@iampoch01]

Hi Toy Galaxy, will you be updating your Top 10 lists periodically? In the next iteration, I hope Mezco's BvS Batman (or the SDCC Exclusive Armored Batman) gets included in the list. It is, by far, the best Batman figure for the movie license, even topping out Hot Toy's figure.

[@SecretGalaxyTV]

We'll revisit at some point in the future. This video isn't that old yet.
