I managed to get multiverse Knightfall Batman for less than $10. I was at Walmart and it was hanging on a peg for the Spinmasters Batman toys. Got a manual price override at the register and, boom! instant discount!
Great video as always, but if I can give some constructive criticism, there were several moments in the video where you started talking about a different figure and I couldn't tell the difference because it seemed rushed. You put a lot of work into categorizing and showing comparisons, but I think it would be better to take it all in if you broke it up with some cutaways to your face or something else in between figures to give us a chance to digest the information. Or maybe some text on the screen?
The blue and gray Batman. Dates back further than Knightfall. Neal Adams back in the 70's was known to draw the character, in blue and gray. Along with the yellow 🦇 emblem.
Batman has been in blue and grey since the 40s. But the blue/grey suit/plus yellow emblem was introduced in DETECTIVE COMICS #327 May 1964 by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella
I got the authentic Neca Batman and Joker alien two pack when they were first put up on Neca's site. The box is indeed just like that. For some reason there's no Neca logos on it anywhere, plus no type of toy photography on it. The box itself tbh feels really cheap and can be damaged easily.
I knew there were no graphics, it has something to do with disagreements between DC and Fox, but the lack of NECA logo is surprising since they are the manufacturer. I'd assume they would be legally required to include it. Odd.
These giant multi figure versus are probably my favourite versus videos. Also didn't you mention we were gonna get a Spider-Man version in the Venom video?
Where does he get all these ls toys ! Gotta do a Cpt. America vs. Bane shield vs. head lol. Did you see the exclusive knight fall Bats ? With the dark shading ala Superfriends ?!?! ❤
Yes, hopefully there will be a way for a lowly non-going-to-SDCC people to get lol it's funny, I know the obvious comparison is Super Friends, but it made me think of Adam West
I will be doing a dedicated Knightfall Batman head swap video and will show you how it looks. Gimme a couple weeks though, got some other stuff to get to first
they're all great💙 but definitely going to try pick up the 2023 blue and grey other than West's batman this look is my favorite was battastic review as always Jason 🤘
Thanks so much! One of the things I have been thinking about is that the new McFarlane Knightfall reminds me a lot of West due to the bright gray and dark blue
For some reason I hardly ever keep mcfarlane boxes. I cut the back artwork off and keep it and throw the rest of it away. I kept Lobos box, glowy Swampthing, and black and white Martian Manhunter. If they ain't special then the box is mostly trash lol
The essentials is underrated. It's been my best Batman on the whole for the last three years. Granted I don't have the new knightfall Batman yet from todd but really it's only between those two for me the others don't even come close.
Just wanted to say I appreciate how in depth these versus videos are, especially with this many figures. Wonderful job! End of the day NECA is just far too ugly for my taste, I had the neca green lantern vs predator but sold off the Hal because mine has a fused arm and his ring was lacking the hole.
Aesthetically that Year Two figure is stunning and absolutely what I would go with. However, being a pure 6 inch scale guy I will instead be awaiting the Mafex Knightfall release.
I'm looking to get the Nightfall Batty to replace my Year 2 version, which seems to me overly brittle (as some McFarlane figures are) and it's difficult pose him without pieces coming off.
@@user-jp3vl5jx1j To be fair, I upgrade figures from any manufacturer when a better one comes by. So far I've largely kept the old ones for spare pieces, but others go to my nephew, or charity shops.
@@user-jp3vl5jx1j Mostly I keep everything for figure comparison and head swaps purposes, though I do sell some things now and then, just not the stuff I can use later lol
The NECA one is my favorite. Though hard to recommend because of the exclusive nature of it, the joints being frozen out of the package, and NECA's terrible quality control. I pulled the cape in front of the neck, lining it above the collarbone, to make it drape above his shoulders. It adds so much to the look of the figure 👍
This new Mcfarlane Knightfall is by far the best, without a doubt! And I love plastic/rubber capes so for me this Batman is even better looking and better than the Mafex Knightfall yet to come... 😉👍🏻
I did a head swap between the McFarlane knightfall Batman and the Arkham city Batman and it actually looks pretty good, it kinda makes the knightfall Batman look like the long Halloween version. You would have to repaint it though.
@5POAFigureReviews Yup that's how mine came too. His right arm was very hard to insert in the shoulder socket. I'm afraid to take his arms back out for fear that it would be too hard to get the one back in. BTW - Your channel ROCKS 🪨 🎸 😎
For me Neca is my Favorite. Its the Batman in my Batfamily. Next Is Year 2 by Mcfarlane Knightfall then Dc essentials Knightfall then Variant Detective comics 1000. I would add dc universe classics DC Super Powers 2015 Batman
The Mattel Super Powers is good. Been wanting that one for a while, but the after market is pretty high on it. For the purpose of this video, I was only considering 7" scale figures, though.
You can swap the arms from the 5 pack Nightwing on to the Titans wave. The colors are near exactly the same. I've also swapped the Jason Todd head on to the him as well which required a peg swap. Makes for a better looking figure imo and it definitely looks more like the card art.
@@5POAFigureReviews side note for the both of you, if you want arms for nightwing that look better proportionally and have the wrist blades, use batman beyond's arms and just swap the nightwing hands back on. it fixes some the messy proportion issues i had
Seeing the bootleg NECA Batman makes me wish we got a black variant since the authentic one was way too blue. I mean, I know it’s inspired by the 80’s look but I’ll always prefer Batman in black and gray
If you're up for painting him, the bootleg isn't awful. The logo isn't vibrant and the shading is a bit sloppy, but it could be a good canvas for a custom. Just keep in mind that a bootleg is likely to be fragile (though even with the real deal, his legs kept popping off, sooo lol)
The new DC Multiverse Knight Fall Batman is not perfect, but it's the best McFarlane has made so far. The light choice of colors is the only thing I'm not a fan of. Having this in black and grey would look nice, but it would lose that classic comic feel.
@@5POAFigureReviews For sure, a different shade of blue and gray would make it perfect. The SDCC version is a nice take, but the ink deco wouldn't fit with the rest of my DCM figures.
This is a weird request because I don’t know if anyone has asked this could you do an arm swap between McFarland year 2 Batman and McFarland knightfall Batman 2023 ?
I hoped toy review the 2 pack between Green goblin and mary jane watson figures soon and promised me to do that reenactment scene of mj hanging into spidey when she and him saw gobby flying above them and her being concerned he is coming back while spidey tries to make her listen to climb down but mj states she couldn't but spidey insists back she can until the web that was holding them together starts to break because of the heaviness of the tram car until finally spidey convinces her to do it she had just trust him and mj climbs down the rope so please do that for me once you got it I hoped you reply to my comment asap my guy.
If I do it, I have an idea to do a skit based on that scene, but not a full on recreation of it. I don't think I have the ability to do all that, but I appreciate your faith in me lol
Year Two only suffers for me for the height, that cape thing you mentioned, the loose head, and the incorrect boots. I'd love to do a custom tweaking it a bit, but the set is so expensive on the aftermarket and I don't want to lose my swooping cape display piece
