Dude, your honest reviews are the BEST! Your readup of the filecard got me crackin' up! I was fighting some serious FOMO for not buying that Batwing because it had a ready-made cockpit, filled-out wings, and real wheels, but thanks for setting me straight that I didn't need it. If anything, I'm more appreciative that I bought the SpinMaster Batwing and will customize it how I would've liked it. Thanks for taking the hit on that for us!
I bought the spin master as well and was considering the McFarland Batwing. I'm not a huge fan of his figures but for 200 the thing should have lights and sounds. There is a you tuber that customizes the spin master batwing with lights and guns. He charges 150 to customize it so still cheaper than McFarland. The detail on the McFarland batwing is cool but over priced in my opinion. I would also add that the spin master version is a toy and the McFarland batwing is not. McFarland is more of a collectable and meant for display.
@@Scro10mThe new Batwing has a huge 35-inch wingspan which means it can seat a 7-inch scale DC Multiverse figure. The spin master is 27 inch and fits a 16 inch figure in a coffin like position but you can customize it to fit 7 inch figures and still come out cheaper than the McFarland batwing.
I paid up for the animated Batwing and Batmobile years ago... Worth every penny. McFarlane has always been good about quality at a good price point... I feel like he could've sold more at $100-125ish, made it an online exclusive with a retailer and it would've sold out
I still have my 90’s Batmobile from the animated series I was surprised it lasted this long & hell I even found the original 89 Kenner batman in the driver seat my dad had bought me when I was a kid 😂
I bought one for my brother who is a huge fan. I agree 100% that it was underwhelming and felt a little cheap. He loved it, so that's all that mattered as a gift. I'm glad I didn't buy myself one. I was happy with the $40 Spinmaster on my shelf.
This is a hard pill to swallow especially seeing how not too long ago Mattel released that amazing 6" scale Justice League Batmobile that came with a fully articulated 6" Batman figure, had lights and sounds, could adjust its ride height, was a FULLY functional RC car with smoke effects AND had a built-in camera for POV video streamed to your phone and all that was for $250. Wow. Even with inflation, $250 for this Batwing looks like a crime. My Lego Batwing was $200 but you pick that up and even though it is Lego it solid, has some weight and feels like $200 worth of material. Sorry man. Thanks for the great review and thanks for taking one for the team...with that said I might end up getting one anyways because it does look cool LOL!
@@mrtraveller2020 Seriously? I have not fired mine up in a while thinking that it would just work. If true that is beyond terrible. I will charge up the battery and give it a try this weekend. That sucks. Nothing beats a dedicated controller.
I hate remote control vehicles that have to be controlled with an app. They usually don’t work that great and app support ends quickly. My batmobile like that is just sitting on a shelf wishing it could drive around
Yo this video had me dying from beginning to end thank you. Also shout out to you for being humble and honest enough to tell people to laugh at you man but I wasn't laughing at you I was laughing with you. You made me angry they played collectors and I didn't even buy it smh good job. No fancy editing needed in this video your words and passion was felt threw the damn screen, you was not happy and expressed it well man 🤣 I just subbed and liked man I'm looking forward to seeing more content.
This is actually the best and most grounded/honest user review I've seen on the batwing. At first, I thought maaaaybe 250 dollars would be worth dropping for this thing. But you actually cut right into it without shilling at all and showed us what the real scoop is, in addition to some thought provoking examples (power rangers, etc). You made a damn good point and I am now glad I didn't pull the trigger on the bundle.. 250 for a big hollow piece of molded plastic is outrageous. I actually thought you could at least pull out the gun turrets on this thing. It does NOTHING. It's basically a plastic wall poster. I don't understand the price now. $150... tops. $250... F-- that! 😮💨 Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this. Subbed.
I LOVE honesty in reviewers. The price and the size is what made me not get this. If I had the space, the price would have been the only thing stopping me from getting this. I don't regret passing on this.
Man you had me rolling because you're right. 1 No panels for guns because DC won't allow guns on anything DC related. I got this too and yeah, it is underwhelming. I also have the Spin Masters and the mat black of the Spinmasters looks better. For $80.00 you can get two Spin Masters, take the wings of one to make a complete wing and the rest can be used as a customizers start on a bat boat. The reason you can still buy the McFarlane one is that Spin Masters really F'd up their sales projections. I don't mind it being a one seater because the original 89 batwing was a one seater. Also a true scale batmobile for the 7" line is 1/10 and is supposed to be 28" long not 22" (Just youtube 1/10 Iron Studios 1/10 batmobile.
I feared something like this would happen. I'm glad the price point kept me away from this. Sorry you had to take the hit for the rest of us, but we appreciate your honest review.
Valentine customizes the Batwing and the Batmobile. The Batwing he charges 150 and it has lights and guns. He even sells the kit so you can do it yourself if you don’t want to send it to him.
HAHA !!!! 🤣 “Matter of fact? The more I make this video, the more I’m pissed off!” hahaha dude had me rolling with this review! I do sincerely love a lot of what McFarlane does & especially when he does 🎬 movie action figures, that’s my thing. They seemed to cut the shit and stop the nonsense with those EYE sore, abysmally sculpted wrist and ankle joints (fuuuck those were and are still so uncalled for-like little 🎾⚾️ balls attached feet to the shit, breaking up any cool boot or leg sculpting AND wrist to forearms…just major anger anytime I’d see that piss poor design choice 😤😑) Now? Looks like they’re making things a tad more seamless and aesthetically pleasing. Need to stop using PINS in the joints is the next step. Unless the canopy is grey and that ugly in the movie? Zero business giving us a Batmobile with that canopy. Looks like hot shit. Again, not crapping on Todd’s stuff completely, I’m a huge fan, but they A-should and more importantly B-CAN do better. Thanks for the laugh man 🙏🏼💙
Awesome review! Speaking of the batmobile, I believe even the old batmobiles had the guns pop out and the new one does not. What a let down. I will wait to see what the rumored Gold Label Batmobile brings
My $250 Batwing is still on the way..already paid for. My reason for getting it is I made sure I purchased every single thing from The Flash movie simply for my favorite Michael Keaton Batman. Had I gone without the Batwing I'd always felt like I was missing something in my collection was a little empty. I knew right off the bat I was paying too much but I couldn't go without simply because when I collect I try to collect it all. Repeating myself here but still absolutely love your honest reviews and I'm with you if I got screwed all say I got screwed but the screw job is worth feeling empty later so to speak LOL😂
I still regret not getting the animated Batwing since i got the Batmobile, especially when it had that price dip before it skyrocketted. The new Batwing should have had the extra seats at least.
Bro you’re rant was the most entertaining shit I’ve seen all week including NBA playoffs & the NFL Draft! I’d could of watched this shit for an hour!!!😂😂😂
Yo!!! Your honesty off the rip was super dope!! You didn''t waste anytime trying to massage and make the conclusion feel good. Appreciate you for that, boss. Call a spade a spade and leave it at that.
THAT is why I'm buying a Spin Master Batwing, same size , weight, and ONLY $40 bucks! I'll customize it and only blow an extra 10 bucks for supplies to customize.
I’m so glad I got the spinmaster batwing for $44 with taxes and didn’t pay $275 with tax. That’s $231 I saved. Good video cause I was still on the fence about getting it but at that price and ain’t much better then Spinmaster version.
Iv got the DC collectibles animated one and there's heft, it's heavy for such a sleek vehicle but Man that does not look like there's any weight to it, appreciate the start when you said it's not worth it straight away,id give this video two thumbs up if I could for the honesty.. respect from Ireland 👍
My boy kept it a bean on this one!!!! I was waiting on a real review, this how I give it up on my reviews he bugging and all the reviews I’ve seen they bugging I could tell from the promo pics before buying it wasn’t worth it. On top of my Amazon order for the Batmobile getting cancelled I was out. F*** McFarlane and the QC issues on the figures lately. I give this 2 fart sounds beat it not worth 250 period
You see you see man That's the whole reason why I did not get one I looked at the spin master one and yeah the McFarlane one is slightly bigger but I mean it can't even hold two figures at least a spin master one can so I'm so glad I didn't get one but hey great video 👍😎
Dude, Wife and I just found your Channel. And she loves your reviews. And you are totally on the money with that is WAY TO much money for the Batwing. Shame as I wanted to pick one up. Keep up the good fighter.. Thanks man..
Just to put in perspective, the mattel batmobile from justice league with lights, rc, sounds and smoke was 170.... and that thing is a beast so fucking heavy and in scale with the 10" figures! This is just greedy
My 250 went straight to the 1/18 kitzconcept rathalos. Its massive, articulated very well and has a light up feature. Can never go wrong with a big ass dragon
I refused to accept Todd's interpretation of the Batmobile. This seems to fall in line. He cut corners so it can be wall mounted. It's not a toy, it's 250 wall plaque
True..I'm a Huge Batman Fan & Got the Batmobile, but No Way I was Paying $250 for this with No Metal on it, No Lights & Sounds & No Figure..My 1980 back then Millennium Falcon came with Lights & Sounds & Hooked Nice & Still have it Not even close to this price 🤔
Best review I have seen in a minute!!! I had to subscribe. I agree the batmobile is worth the $60 and I want sure about the price of the batwing until NOW! thanks!!!!
Bruh, you the real MVP for taking one for the team. I been waiting on a review to make up my mind and you just did the community a huge favor. I'm sticking with the Spinmaster version. p.s. Sell that shit man, no reason to keep it if you ain't happy with it.
We told you!!!! 4:10 I'd be upset about the color alone. The Batman inside, the picture of the Batwing and box behind it all are blacker than the actual Batwing. It's grey and it's not even due to your lighting either. That's messed up. Was always happy with my Spinmaster decision. Yep.
I am a Real person myself. So I love you keeping it real. Spin master is my personal favorite and the Animated Series Batwing I got in 2003……..😊❤️smiley
At first glance it looks cool but it kinda seems cheap and those landing gear seem weak but I guess its not a meant to be played with. My thoughts its meant to hang on the wall probably why its cheap hand hallow to make it light enough to where it wont fall off the wall. Doesn’t excuse it there are ways to make it heavy duty feel like its worth the price and fasten it to a wall mount securely. Thanks for mentioning Neca I couldn’t remember the name and was thinking of that Turtle van the whole time haha. Only McFarlane I buy is Warhammer and I might switch to Joy Toys for that. Acid Rain figures are pretty nice to if 3 inch if a thing you like.
Real talk I'm glad I passed on this 💩 and I got both of the Spinmasters batwings, $250 + tax and shipping? Not worth it, should've been $85 like the Batmobile and no lights or sounds, mcfarlame is slacking and scalping us
Ouch … some cracking pieces there but that batwing sucks, that’s a lot of money to spend on something as hollow as that compared to what they have been offering
😂 I’m loving the straight honesty. I use to have both the animated batwing and Batmobile. I can’t understand the price point with no light up features. I mean he did the hazmat Batman with light up features.
Subscribed because I like your honest review, Uff I almost got it but looked like crap online glad I was right! shame on McFarlane for selling a piece of plastic for $250.
