It's still an incredibly baffling decision to have Titans Nightwing not come with Escrima Sticks.

[@jamesrodriguez3667]

Try looking online, I was able to buy 3D printed hands with escrima sticks that are already painted. Really saved the fig for me (it's my fave body out of all the McFarlanes so far).

[@azeraph20]

At this point the perfect Nightwing figure would be a Hush version using the body of the upcoming Knightfall Nightwing/Flashpoint Barry/Captain Atom/Booster Gold/Blue Beetle. Or Discowing. Make it happen, Todd.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I think what would be ideal, agreed

[@sowintoyou]

I have all these guys but my definitive Nightwing is the mafex version.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I have a feeling that is the case for a lot of collectors. It will be fun to finally get my hands on one

[@LochNessHamster]

The Nightwing in my collection is a kitbash of the Better Than Batman, Bat Family 5 Pack and Titans figures. It's the body from the 5 Pack with the arms from Titans to complete the stripes, as well as the ankles and feet from Titans, and the head from Better Than Batman with the mask painted black. I also painted the fingers blue on the gripping hands. It's honestly my ideal Nightwing figure, with my only gripe being the glum expression. I love his hair and overall facial likeness though. One issue it has that I want to do something about is that the pegs going from the shoulders into the torso are shorter on the Titans arms, so his shoulders are recessed further in and it makes them look kind of shallow. I've got an idea on how to make them sit further out, I just haven't been brave enough to try it yet.

[@VictorHugo-Al]

Honestly what a struggle to get the figure we want...

[@LochNessHamster]

@@VictorHugo-Al Yeah, with how cheap DC Multiverse figures are and how incomplete they often seem to be, I sort of think of them as model kits/kitbash fodder, especially where they have pretty universal articulation, but that isn't actually an excuse for the figures not being good to begin with.

[@megagrey]

Looking forward to the 6in Nightwing video. I recently got the Mattel Multiverse one and he's rocks it on my shelf like a champ.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Nice pick up! That thing is more expensive than the Mafex these days

[@andrebrown1835]

Congratulations on 350th🥳thank you for all the great recommendations

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you! And you're very welcome

[@reddmorningstar]

I can't wait for you to review the injustice Supes!

[@mondayadams8166]

Happy 350! That's awesome!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks Monday!

[@mondayadams8166]

@5POAFigureReviews duh! I know I'm just some random on the internet but I am genuinely proud of how far you've come

[@Richi4805]

I respect this dude he helped me pick alot of stuff and he helped me get a nightwing for my Batman I hope he gets action figures for christmas

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I will pass this comment along to my loved ones lol

[@BadAssXerx3]

good review, I'm now really into the McFarlane Toys Videogame stuff (Witcher 3 and the Arkham Trilogy) and thinking about adding the Arkham Knight Red Hood to the collection but not sure, haven't played the DLC yet too

[@50yearsinmomsbasement]

Finally a blue nightwing comparison video 🎉🎉🎉

[@nostrem82]

congrats on 350 another great review tough decision but I'm liking essentials, titans the best

[@5POAFigureReviews]

They are very good!

[@TagartTalking]

What a fun video! 🥰

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks!

[@AntiLifePower]

Just wanted to come and say I f*cking love your videos man. This is the kind of figure comparisons that DC figures need, but are rarely made. I missed on Better than Batman and the Essentials one. I happily got the under-appreaciated Gotham Knights on day one. It may be a very specific look, but I think it still works with other over-detailed/designed/"realistic" figs. The Titans one I found insulting lol. No escrima stick and not even an additional set of hands? Come on!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks for the kind words, man!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Though I like the look of essentials, to me mcfartlane's stuff is far superior. Better engineering, use of materials. Just something I want to pick up and play with. The essentials line is essentially something only to be put on the shelf 😢😂😊😮

[@kellenandelizabethjohnson6513]

Does this mean 450 is gonna be Blue and Gold Nightwing? Hopefully that gives enough time to produce a couple more of that (*cough* the BEST) version of Dicky boy.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That would delightful. Not sure about what 450 will be, but I do have 400 planned and it's going to be huge. Something I have been planning for a little over a year now

[@Bionic_Webb]

The essentials head is perfect

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, definitely my favorite head of the bunch

[@tonileo9849]

Thoughts on the Mafex one?

[@claudio.alves89]

Better Than Batman 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@5POAFigureReviews]

All around awesome

[@mrmcfartguy]

Cool figures

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Agreed!

[@stephenperkins24]

I love my titans one. I was able to get a pair of stick and hands that hold them online. Before that though I painted the Gotham knights hands and sticks the same sky blue color and that worked out fine. I always missed out on a good nightwing so I’m pleased with what I have. I also cut a grove under the chest peg that gave him some good ass ab crunch. Mafex nightwing was in my cart until I did all that.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That sounds great!

[@stephenperkins24]

@@5POAFigureReviews definitely! I just don’t want people who can get the titans figure to be too frustrated. It is a bummer but there are ways around that cause it is a great figure in hand.

[@claytonmark7784]

“Babe wake up 5POA posted”

[@5POAFigureReviews]

This might be my favorite comment ever lol

[@idontexistfam]

Honestly I wish BAF Nightwing had escrima sticks but I really need McFarlane to man up and give us wing dings 😂

[@idontexistfam]

Also I want to like the Arkham Deathstroke but the orange seems off to me and he’s too short

[@5POAFigureReviews]

He could be bigger for sure

[@5POAFigureReviews]

...wing dings? Lol

[@idontexistfam]

@@5POAFigureReviews Nightwings equivalent of batarangs hehe

[@Reach008]

My default Nightwing is Better than Batman with Green Lantern (John Stewart) arms with painted blue strips. As much as I love the BTB nightwing I just hate how skinny the arms look compared to the rest of the body. As the GL has cuffs that give off the 90’s Nightwing suit vibes

[@Roxas_2412]

So can you swap any of the others hands with Titans so he can hold the sticks?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I'll see what I can do maybe make a short out of that

[@Roxas_2412]

I ended up using the extra hands that came with the Jim Godron batman

[@teamhonzilla]

DC Essential 🔥🔥🔥

[@Deathstorm4545]

I love the og nightwing that mcfarlane made but the titans one beast boy baf need at least he Battons

[@haib_sou]

0:02 he looks like Zack from Highschool Musical

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Ha! Now I can't unsee it lol

[@haib_sou]

@@5POAFigureReviews hey man, Teen Titans the Musical. Would be a banger trilogy flick tho. Lol.

[@benjaminjimenez1329]

I think the price category needs to be reworked into availability or something else, because it's funny how gotham knights wins since it's the worst of the bunch, there's a reason why the figure price is lower than the rest, so it makes no sense to get a point because of that. You can get a turd for free but that does not make it a good choice.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thank you for the feedback. I take into account the original price, the after market value, what the figures come with, and how much new sculpting is involved versus reuse. I definitely see your point, but in terms of availability, value, and price I still feed like Gotham Knights is the best value you can get for the price if you want a Nightwing.. that said I could have done a better job of explaining my reasoning on this one for sure.

[@haib_sou]

man can't wait to see McFarlane's Gameverse on The Suicide Squad.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You know I haven't even thought about that! Def something to look forward to

[@haib_sou]

@@5POAFigureReviews if they ever make some. Sadly to say, the figure won't have any guns. Smh lol.

[@j3productions645]

1. Better than Batman 2. Essentials 3. Titans 4. Gotham Knights

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Good ranking to me!

[@bradystardust7708]

I would take 7 inches of Nightwing any day

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Ha! Well I'd say Starfire would be jealous but she's pretty open minded lol

[@mariov4701]

at this point after collecting McFarlane for a year i have a LOT of batmen but no Bat Family, i wish they put the same effort of many good batman variants in other figures 🥲

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I dunno why but the way you phrased that kind of tugged on my heart a bit lol lots of Batman but no bat family...

[@mariov4701]

@@5POAFigureReviews hahaha, I'm sorry Jason
