Mine showed up last week and I think this is probably my favourite figure ever. He's just so poseable and so detailed, and the cape is so much fun to fiddle with!
You can put the cape under the shoulder piece to get the cape in a “resting” position! It works very very good. Try also to bend the wires at their maximum to match the shape of the shoulders. See? There is nothing to complain about...ITS THE BEST DK FIGURE EVER.
Ricardo Dos Santos I oqn this figure to and it is not better than the Mezco BvS Batman or their Dark Knight Returns Batman. it is the best Bale Batman figure ever granted Mafex doesn't knock it out the box with their 3.0 one.
The odd thing there, I never have a clue what I'm going to do for an intro when I go into the review. Just last minute things or screw-ups during the shoot.
The chest on the suit in the movies was pretty big and far out in the front, but it was also so when he bent down, the chest would go over the stomach plates and added protection from gunshots to the chest
It’s kinda of annoying that the cape sticks up so for my batman I just put the cape under his shoulder pads and then bend the wires in his cape to make it look more natural so his cape is closer to his body
Great review brother!!! I have this figure on pre-order and I can't wait to get him. I personally don't care if he's not compatible with other figures. Batman is kind of a loner anyway. I would love to see them do a Two Face however and then maybe a Talia. They could make her a web exclusive. Keep up the great work brother...
Pre order has been cancelled for this figure! Lol. With Mafex releasing a new Joker, Catwoman and Batman, as well as a new Bane, I'll be getting the 3.0 Batman
i think this figure is great and for sure quality unlike mafex. I think it will go okay with mafex bane actually since i wouldnt mind if bane is bigger than batman, but yeah the joker may be too big but comparing it with the 1.0 and bank robber joker it looks okay. As for saving space with the cape, you just gotta work with it a bit more since it's so sturdy, i curved one side of the cape over his body and the other side towards his body but folded out to give it a wind swept look (like a breeze is hitting him just standing there) and that saves a good amount of space. You could just also bend both sides of the cape around in front him too, and that would look good as well! I have the 1.0 Mafex batman and it was actually my favorite rendition of him until this one, and i can contest that the SHF is actually a bit bigger and probably same for 2.0 since the bodies are similar not sure how the 3.0 will stack up though, i skipped out on 2.0 because of hearing about the QC problems, not sure about 3.0, but i for sure want bane and maybe 2.0 joker. They also showed two face and scarecrow, so mafex looking good on the nolan series, but as for DK batman i think with SHF im good unless the 3.0 really blows people out of the water, it doesnt have a bruce wayne head either so still a bit of a pass for me but we'll see. i do want that batman begins one though, not enough figures of that suit!
I was looking forward for this figure, and I totally agree the scale will be off with the Mafex figures, I guess we'll have to wait for the Mafex Batman V.3 to come out to see if this one is worth the buy or the Mafex one is just as good or better and has as you say a bigger cast of figures to go with it (with Mafex although they have been upping their game there is always the fear that once it comes out its complete garbage). So I since I cant cancel my preorder on this one I guess Ill have to get it and wait for the mafex (and if that one is better just sell the shf)
Yeah, I remember that gunk being referred to as "sweat", occurs overtime with the type of plastic Mattel uses (or used to use) as I've seen an image on a Toyark forum that shows it with a unopened 3.75 inch Superman pack.
Great review good buddy, thank you, you have solidified my decision in buying this figure, i felt like the alternate head reminded me of the "batman in the movies" Batman
Robo, I backed articulated icons when they first came out. I purchased the red basic ninja and the Fumetsu undying ronin. I received the figures today and both have serious issues. The waist joint for the red ninja is completely frozen and not hot water nor a heat gun/hairdryer has helped in the slightest. The waist joint looks like it is pulling itself out of the crotch/legs connection area. I'm extremely disappointed and I reached out to the backer kit "contact us" page to no avail. I need either a full refund or a replacement copy because frankly, I've paid far too much and waited far too long for these to have such outstanding quality control issues. I can send images or video if necessary to show the issues. Please reply,
Borna Dianati Just wondering what was the final result of your question? Did they take care of you? I’m just curious to see how their customer service was. Let me know. Thanks. 🤖🤓
Heh, that just kind of happened. It took another take but I actually kind of surprised myself when it came out the first time. Not like I think before I speak...
Nice review boss! Hey Robo one thing I was hoping you would show the grapnel gun placed in the holster. ALL the reviews I've seen, like Anthonys, and Gregs, & the others, none of them do it. I'm starting to wonder if it even is a good gimmick, or if it even works correctly. Either way "good show 'ol chap!" Btw got my Articulated Icons pack left at my door (haven't opened it yet, but I assume that what is cuz says "The Fwoosh" on it.😆
I did put it in the holster, after putting the holster back on during the Grapnel segment. 9:37 It works pretty good but gets in the way hanging down. And woo, I hope you like the ninjas!
Great tip, Robo! So onto this Batman, I haven't ordered this guy. Been gathering some reviews, I'm like half sold? But not enough yet, maybe like on a deal? But I like the look of the MAFEX Rises BM more, too.
No they don't, it's why I don't use them for preorders unless absolutely necessary regardless of their prices. That and not telling you the shipping cost upfront at time of in stock purchases hurts them with me overall. Honestly, I've found shopping with them through their eBay shop better because they already add in the shipping and it's sometimes cheaper. You can also use Ebates there which gives you a few bucks cash back depending on %.
Man, Ive had this figure for awhile and its not bad but I recently got the mafex 3.0 nearly blows him out of the water as far as articulation,cape and accessories.
My SHF Batman is gonna need some Articulated Icons Ninjas to fight.... :-D Also, I wonder if the new head design is to combat the custom head sculpt market.
Wow! This marks the first time I have the figure you are reviewing. Usually I wait a month before it arrives at my door. We wait longer in England. Great review as always. Have fun at SDCC. Wish I was going.
Some dude who is brave enough to comment Which one lol? The V1 had QC issues and V2 was trash. V3 is looking like the greatest DK figure ever in 1/12 scale but Mafex is notorious for showing amazing figures then changing them last second. Look at the Wonder Woman figure as an example.
The good thing about Batman though is he has WAY less paint apps to screw up so I'm not as worried there. More about loose joints and such. Same for Bane, but Joker and Catwoman may suffer a bit.
I don't know how many times I gotta say it, I bought this at the exact release date of the figure, from a reputable source. Every time someone has a problem about how I reviewed a Figuarts it's just gotta be a bootleg.
The overdeveloped pecks and shoulder pads put me off getting this one, which is a shame as I love the film and the costume deign hides the articulation well. Ah well, guess it's up to MAFEX...
Derek Larner It would be outta scale. The Dark Knight Joker by NECA is 7 inches so the SH Figuarts Dark knight Batman would look tiny compared to that figure.
Arkham Knight batan figure from import company is what we need. IDK how about you, but I think game armor, especially from arkham knight, the super high-tech one, beats the crap out of every single movie design. At the end of the day batman is just a rich dude that relies on tech and not super powers. Its only fitting isntead of some funky armor, he has high-tech shit all over him.
I really wished that one day they'll figure out to put articulated plastic skeletal structures inside the cape instead of bendy wires. I always have fear on bendy wires loosing its default shape one day or eventually developing rust inside the cape due to moisture.
Hmmm maybe a pass. You usually cost me a lot of money so this time I will thank you for saving me some. Always look forward to the unreadables now....no pressure
I'm so anxious to see these guys do a Bane action figure. I didn't like the mafex Bane at all. It was just too scrawny and the proportions were way off.
Just as a suggestion, videos are way too long and u go way beyond talking about the figure too much to where it's useless information. Just my opinion though, keep up the good work
![SAFEPLANET - ดาวเคราะห์ [ THE PLANET ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4X1XL3I_k3c/mqdefault.jpg)
Joker:''Do you know how I got these scars?" Batman: " No, but I know how you got these!" from playing with the bandai action figure!!!
You guys always come up with way better jokes. I wish I had thought of this.
Mine showed up last week and I think this is probably my favourite figure ever. He's just so poseable and so detailed, and the cape is so much fun to fiddle with!
Ker-Klick Choom 1the fuck
I just got this today. There is a bit of a gap between the belt and the chest. Is it normal? Like if I move the chest up I can see the peg join.
Where'd you get it from
@@AlwaysRollsAOne yes.
You can put the cape under the shoulder piece to get the cape in a “resting” position! It works very very good. Try also to bend the wires at their maximum to match the shape of the shoulders. See? There is nothing to complain about...ITS THE BEST DK FIGURE EVER.
Best Batman figure in 1/12 scale ever, especially if the Dark Knight is your favorite Batman movie. Just ordered mine.
Ricardo Dos Santos I oqn this figure to and it is not better than the Mezco BvS Batman or their Dark Knight Returns Batman. it is the best Bale Batman figure ever granted Mafex doesn't knock it out the box with their 3.0 one.
Mafex did knock it out of the box
I guess Bandai really wanted to avoid any "where's the trigger . . . finger!?" jokes.
I don't know why but my favorite part of your videos is the intros
The odd thing there, I never have a clue what I'm going to do for an intro when I go into the review. Just last minute things or screw-ups during the shoot.
The chest on the suit in the movies was pretty big and far out in the front, but it was also so when he bent down, the chest would go over the stomach plates and added protection from gunshots to the chest
Bruce Wayne head could be great on this figure
It’s kinda of annoying that the cape sticks up so for my batman I just put the cape under his shoulder pads and then bend the wires in his cape to make it look more natural so his cape is closer to his body
Lol, you scared me at first, I thought you were gonna go weird on us, but then... good old Robo
Oh no, if it doesn't make me giggle it doesn't stay in. Well, most of the time, haha.
If you tuck the cape under the shoulder pads it's won't pop out and it should fix the problem which is what I did
Great review brother!!! I have this figure on pre-order and I can't wait to get him. I personally don't care if he's not compatible with other figures. Batman is kind of a loner anyway. I would love to see them do a Two Face however and then maybe a Talia. They could make her a web exclusive. Keep up the great work brother...
I always forget about Two-Face, we need him too!
Pre order has been cancelled for this figure! Lol.
With Mafex releasing a new Joker, Catwoman and Batman, as well as a new Bane, I'll be getting the 3.0 Batman
Nice review. It's a playful figure. Any idea if anyone removed the flat plastic form cape and replaced with nice steel wires?
i think this figure is great and for sure quality unlike mafex. I think it will go okay with mafex bane actually since i wouldnt mind if bane is bigger than batman, but yeah the joker may be too big but comparing it with the 1.0 and bank robber joker it looks okay.

I like that boulder!! That is a nice boulder!!
Yeah, I remember that gunk being referred to as "sweat", occurs overtime with the type of plastic Mattel uses (or used to use) as I've seen an image on a Toyark forum that shows it with a unopened 3.75 inch Superman pack.
Yeah, I have some DCUC wave 3 (?) still on card and they got it too. Crazy.
Yeah, I didn't even know about the heat trick, how did it hold up?
I'm really curious about the new mafex one. My version 1 mafex Batman broke at the elbow but I also don't wanna pay 65 bucks. The original was $45
Great review good buddy, thank you, you have solidified my decision in buying this figure, i felt like the alternate head reminded me of the "batman in the movies" Batman

Good for you Robo that you didn't have the Q.C Issued Batman Dark Knight but I Dunno if its the Mezco Batman. hahaha BTW great Review as always. :)
ha..its gone... You sir won the internet today!
Heh, that just kind of happened. It took another take but I actually kind of surprised myself when it came out the first time. Not like I think before I speak...
saw some comparison pics and it should be the same size as the Mafex 2.0 one, so I'm hoping it will fit with the Mafex Joker and Bane
Nice review boss! Hey Robo one thing I was hoping you would show the grapnel gun placed in the holster. ALL the reviews I've seen, like Anthonys, and Gregs, & the others, none of them do it.

Yeah, me too, but by the time they showed it I was locked in here. Amiami doesn't like cancellations much.
No they don't, it's why I don't use them for preorders unless absolutely necessary regardless of their prices.

Honestly, I've found shopping with them through their eBay shop better because they already add in the shipping and it's sometimes cheaper.

so which did you get I'm leaning more to this over the mafex,i hear the mafex falls apart alot
Robo, maybe search again for the figuarts suicide joker. He is not only out, but only $40 on amazon, silver suit ver.
Pretty nice? I like the MAFEX purple trench a lot and figured I'd pass on the SHF.
Man, Ive had this figure for awhile and its not bad but I recently got the mafex 3.0 nearly blows him out of the water as far as articulation,cape and accessories.
Yup, I reviewed the MAFEX 3.0 later, it is better.
FIRST! Intro was funny as shit! Nice video The Fwoosh! BTW will you be reviewing the Marvel Legends Netflix Punisher action figure soon?
Yup, just got them today, going to try to hit Punisher before taking off for SDCC.
Awesome! Thanks for replying The Fwoosh!
My SHF Batman is gonna need some Articulated Icons Ninjas to fight.... :-D Also, I wonder if the new head design is to combat the custom head sculpt market.
Why the hell wouldn't they give him a yelling "I'M BATMAN!!!" head?
SWEAR TO ME!!
the second head is for Pete Holmes batman... looks spot on.
Bwahaha, wish I had thought of that. "He's sleeping!"
love mine, although there is an annoying gap between where the body connects with the waist
Yeah, It's worse when you arc back but it's getting more annoying the more I look.
Wow! This marks the first time I have the figure you are reviewing. Usually I wait a month before it arrives at my door. We wait longer in England. Great review as always. Have fun at SDCC. Wish I was going.
Great figure! Curious to see how the Mafex one squares up to this! 👌
Some dude who is brave enough to comment Which one lol? The V1 had QC issues and V2 was trash. V3 is looking like the greatest DK figure ever in 1/12 scale but Mafex is notorious for showing amazing figures then changing them last second. Look at the Wonder Woman figure as an example.

Any Star Wars premium elite series reviews coming soon ????
Not too soon. I have some but they are at the bottom of the pile. That and they haven't announced new ones (that aren't exclusive)
I thinking buy this one but doesn’t have the batarangs so the price is $50 is worth ?
Hi
Need your advice please. What to choose between this and Mafex 3.0?
Thank you!
How is the scale with this Batman together with figuarts Iron man Mk 50?
Wow you look like a super hero with that heat gun!
I just got this today. There is a bit of a gap between the belt and the chest. Is it normal? Like if I move the chest up I can see the peg join.
Nice review! But, I didn't understand the part of the white arms in Joker's figure... What was that? 😂
I don't know what it is, it just shows up on some of those older Mattel figures.
Should’ve gotten the shf joker! It’s great. Sorry this is late tho
Naw, I look at it every now and then and I still think going MAFEX was the right move, plus MAFEX made way more characters for this franchise.
I think only the cape is weird..
Where do you get your S.H fingeratrs
Mostly Amiami and HLJ.
Thank you David marrero
I have absolutely no idea who that is, even after Googling.
A got mine yesterday
What about the original one, not the Chinese copy?
I don't know how many times I gotta say it, I bought this at the exact release date of the figure, from a reputable source. Every time someone has a problem about how I reviewed a Figuarts it's just gotta be a bootleg.
The overdeveloped pecks and shoulder pads put me off getting this one, which is a shame as I love the film and the costume deign hides the articulation well. Ah well, guess it's up to MAFEX...
Just get this figure. It's great. Skip mafex. Their figures suck ass
I hereby name your hairdryer, Heavymetal!
My heat gun rocks!
What song is that?! \m/
You should have compared it to the NECA joker
Derek Larner It would be outta scale. The Dark Knight Joker by NECA is 7 inches so the SH Figuarts Dark knight Batman would look tiny compared to that figure.
Arkham Knight batan figure from import company is what we need. IDK how about you, but I think game armor, especially from arkham knight, the super high-tech one, beats the crap out of every single movie design. At the end of the day batman is just a rich dude that relies on tech and not super powers. Its only fitting isntead of some funky armor, he has high-tech shit all over him.
I'd agree with that, but I didn't make it to Arkham Knight. Loved the hell out of Asylum and especially City but lost interest after that.
how can i fix it
I wish bandai made another sh figuarts darth vader :(
Alejandro Zindel they've been teasing it
Would you buy this for 57 USD?
Probably. It's a nice figure, and that's about going rate for SHF.
I really wished that one day they'll figure out to put articulated plastic skeletal structures inside the cape instead of bendy wires. I always have fear on bendy wires loosing its default shape one day or eventually developing rust inside the cape due to moisture.
Hmm, that's a good point I never considered.
Hmmm maybe a pass. You usually cost me a lot of money so this time I will thank you for saving me some. Always look forward to the unreadables now....no pressure
I'm so anxious to see these guys do a Bane action figure. I didn't like the mafex Bane at all. It was just too scrawny and the proportions were way off.
Nice totally just gonna use this bats with the mattel movie masters dark knight line
That would work perfectly.
shoots the goo
Explodes!
one of the legs of my batman figure like the vídeo is damage of the knee
8:47 Batdance!
So much trigger-finger hands for someone who doesn't use guns lol.
EXACTLY!
feeling Figuarts makin steps back with their figures, dont know 😏🤔
Really not a fan of Bale as Batman but it sure looks like I will have to pick this up :(
haha awesome and halrious review
Just as a suggestion, videos are way too long and u go way beyond talking about the figure too much to where it's useless information. Just my opinion though, keep up the good work
Haha, 600 videos in, a little too late to tell me to stop rambling. But I hear ya, it's not for everyone.
Another channel trying to copy TheReviewSpot
Thanks for the totally original comment! Wait...
