The 5 Points of Stabbing was fantastic. I would love a Cyborg figure, but the Aquaman is not who I’d ever buy. I have the Endless Winter and did a head swap, so I’m golden on Aquaman.
Jason you are so hilarious in your videos! I love your content. Thank you also for being critical and informative. That would be awesome if WW came with Mera’s head as an accessory. It’s totally part of this wave and story line especially the animated film.
I remember seeing this thing at target, i didn't pick it up but I was still waiting for you to do a review of it. I think I'm the only person who doesn't actually mind the head sculpt
I would like to see it painted better, brighter teeth and more human colored gums and tongue, cleaner eyes, and no shadowing around them. I think there is potential there.
I immediately pre ordered this figure because the Flashpoint Paradox movie made me fall deeper in love with DC and it's characters, but I really do wish he would have came with a different head, other than that the figure would have been 10/10, I'm hoping the rest of the wave is better and Cyborg looks awesome at the end of it.
Thanks Mason! I have thought about making a discussion video on it because I have a lot of thoughts. But here is a quick overview: - Batman and Bane are fine. - Two-Face body is good but the likeness is off and the lack of accessories is felt. - The Scarecrow head is absolutely horrendous. - Joker's face is too smushed, the coat is too bright, and the lack of paint on the shirt, tie, and coat lining bums me out, but I love the money stack. - Rumor is Bane is going to be released as a Gold Label with his coat. Makes me think I can get away with not getting Scarecrow and hoping there will be a normal head. - I want Begins Batman and Selina, but Todd scarcely expands on waves like this so I am predicting what we're getting is what we're getting.
@@5POAFigureReviews thats interesting,i was thinking on buying the bane and batman but since bane is the baf i think ill just get batman,but i agree with you,is a solid wave but im not into it
Yep another band member for The Batman Hush 2pack. All we need now are 1:12 or 1:10 scale instruments and we can imagine them doing Led Zeppelin's Immigrant
great review, I gree, the head makes it meh, Flashpoint was a great story but I think I will go only for the trinity Batman( the cheaper version without cowl), Wonder Woman( her costume looks so cool) and wimp Supes
It's got a lot of great things going on but I can't get past the head. Love the colors and the trident holster. Some have swapped out with bearded Aquaman head. That looks good. But the new page punchers does that better. I do want the Superman in the set. I'm trying to decide if I want cyborg that bad, lol.
I absolutely want that cyborg build a figure but I only like Flashpoint. I don't love it and don't need 4 figures that I can only use as flashpoint versions. Hopefully they go on clearance at target for $10-$15, than I'd buy them all and likely sell all the regular figures.
I'm at a crossroads here, I would like the cyborg, but aquaman in general isnt a character I want, and this one certainly isn't it, plus with last years crime syndicate I already have 1 alternate justice league on display, and find myself wondering if I really need another
I lost it when I saw " What's in the box ? " IF I grab him and IF Target has, I may kit bash him with page puncher version. The scales on that one, uhmmm, no.
Once you're ready to review the Batman hush (blue/gray), Catwoman knightfall, Mister freeze and Joker afterwards please review the Flashpoint and Earth 2 Thomas wayne Batman soon alright bro?
@@5POAFigureReviews Bummer. It looks pretty rigid and I was hoping I could have replaced the Endless Winter Trident. So tired of gummy weapons with action figures.
Bought Aquaman last night on clearance at target for $12.49. Project Superman doesn’t look exciting at all. Flashpoint Wonder Woman will probably go on clearance like most of the other, McFarlane highly stylized Wonder Woman figures (Although disturbing, it would be cool if she came with a Mera head) I’m speculating that flashpoint wonder woman and project superman figures will also go on clearance eventually. They just don’t look like exciting figures, but will be worth clearance price for the rest of the Cyborg pieces… and custom fodder. They’re really gonna have to knock it out of the park with the mystery fourth figure.
@@5POAFigureReviews totally understand your feeling on returning the figure. Although for $12.49 it’s decent figure fodder. If I don’t get all of the Cyborg pieces, maybe I’ll make a Metallo with this torso.
Project Superman is next and is a basic figure not looking like a great wave so far. I do like the harness thing for his quindent sure it come off to give to another Aquaman perhaps?
@@5POAFigureReviews unless it’s taken from the newer flashpoint beyond comic that’s recently been done not sure as it’s little bit after the regular flashpoint story somehow and the Superman has been out for a while. Think it’s basically the body type they’ve used for Jon Kent superman and the yellow/red kid flash Wallace west
Did you ever consider trying to fix his head like you did for that one Batman which I can’t specifically remember but he also had an open mouth that looked bad.
McFarlane is an artist first and foremost, and to him, he doesn't like static action figures. He thinks they "look like mannequins." To him, I imagine this makes the figures feel more like art.
Any chance you’re willing to do a head swap with the new flashpoint Barry Allen head? Most people are doing the head swap with the endless winter body, I’m curious on how it would look on this body since The had to go because the only thing I don’t like about it
@@5POAFigureReviews That’s understandable, I wouldn’t keep him either. That’s why I was trying to convince myself “maybe with Barry’s head I won’t regret this purchase” thank you for responding though.
Yeah it's a bummer what we have to go through to get a baf we want sometimes. But hey at least it's just four figures at $25 and six like Marvel Legends I guess.
funny, the last Aquaman figure had bad eyes but everything else on the head was great but for this figure the eyes are good but everything on the head is bad
I genuinely think that McFarlane did this to build a case against not making any figures other than Batman. As in, "see what happens when you guys ask me to stop making cool Batman figures? Wanna think again?"
@@5POAFigureReviews those are all super ugly, but ugly in a way that was vaguely reminiscent of millers style; whereas this one(for me)doesnt really resemble the artwork*, and is badly executed to boot Idk, i saw it in the store, picked it up, looked at the face, and set it back down with a grimace *if you told me this was based on liefeld drawings, i still wouldnt like it, but at least it would bear resemblance to the art its based upon

Noooo! You've broken tradition! We need Pizza Spidey and the spectacular Spider-Man!
Anddd a headswap
I would've given a thumbs up for the baleen whale joke alone!
Thanks!
Thank you for the video!
Anytime, Pete!
Low-key want to get this to see how this head looks on the Bizarro body and see if I can make a custom fire breathing Bizarro head.
Interesting idea! I didn't comment on it, but the scar across his face is painted on, so that won't be an issue.
In a McFarlane group someone joked to put the joker fish in this Aquaman’s mouth.
The head looks like Chip Hazardfrom 90s movie Small Soldiers. Lol
Dude you're right he does! Wow lol
Alex Ross’ Justice Aquaman is by far my favorite.
I should look into that one.
no one:
absolutely no one:
Aquaman: Aaaaaahhhhhhh
Ha! You should see all the different takes I did with different sounds. My dogs thought I was insane lol

That might be how I do it moving forward. I did get Ultraman on clearance last year for like $8 so it worked out.

Love the body, hate the head. Does a DC head fit a Marvel Legends body? NEED CAPTAIN THUNDER!!!

Lol thanks
funny, the last Aquaman figure had bad eyes but everything else on the head was great but for this figure the eyes are good but everything on the head is bad
Lol very true!
Good lord you title goes on for 3 months
Gotta get those keywords in somehow lol
McFarlane needs to figure out how to make the screaming faces not look :V
The main problem is that the eyes don't match. The brow needs to be more furrowed, the eyes need to be squinted. The cheeks need to be more contorted.
Looks like he's yawning.
Yeah he does lol
Sorry you got a figure suffering from lockjaw.
The upcoming 3 inch Page Punchers Flashpoint Aquaman has the same screaming flattop buzz cut head sculpt.
Thanks, I hate it.
Figure fodder.
