You should do a video about how you got into collecting as an adult..what your first collection consisted of what influences you had and so on...give a history of the DC geek we know and love
No. Wrong. The video must be about which version of batman you seem to associate with. Can you associate with a batman figure that has nothing to do with you at all?
I agree with the #1, because if you put aside that it's the Ben Affleck BvS Batman, it is also technically a Frank Miller Dark Knight Returns Batman, as well as just a good iteration of Batman as a quintessential design. That cowl is really menacing.
Great list man so hard to just do 10....additionally, I love my NECA Batman 66 (my favorite), Vampire Batman, Grim Knight, as well as Thrasher Suit Batman 👍
All these Batman figures are cool. I still have my 3 favorites 1. Hush Batman by, Jim Lee 2. 1989 Toy Biz movie Batman 3. 1984 Kenner Super Powers Batman. The Super Powers Batman was the first Batman figure I ever had and I had great times.
Great list. I've got simple tastes, I guess, since I have Total Heroes Batman and a few Knight Missions Batman figures. Then again, I also tend to be more of a "3 figures for like 30-40 bucks" rather than "1 real expensive figure" kind of collector. Nothing wrong with that, just different strokes.
Nice list Brad! My #1 would be the "First Appearance Batman Masterpiece Edition." I'm a real sucker for his First Appearance look! The combination of soft goods, decent articulation, a Batarang with working belt holster, AND a wireframe cape just make this one of my all time favorite figures ever! He was a holy grail for me for the longest time, and I'm so happy whenever I see him on my Batman shelf!
Great list & always interesting to hear an experienced collector's insights on the why & where on the list. I have your No. 5 driving the 89 Kenner Batmobile & residing on one of my Gladiator tall cabinets in my garage & still love um both (fig. & vehicle). My No. 1 is Mafex Armored Batman as still my favorite even though light on the accessories & No. 2 is NECA Adam West. Take it easy...
Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Nicely done, well-informed, and not taking yourself too seriously... sold. Thanks. I was 21 in 1992, and set my VCR for TAS.
Do you collect any 4 inch or 3.75 inch Mattel DC Multiverse figures. I know they are not the greatest, but I enjoy them since I am a fan of that smaller scale.
i bet once you get the Mezco Sovereign Knight, that will be on your list. If it comes as pictured, that will easily be in my top 3 because it encompasses so many things I like for in a Batman figure
Have you gotten the Mezco Ascending Knight? The black/grey is the perfect batman figure to me, even if it models the first appearance style more than I would like. The monoblack and the blue ones look very sharp. I couldnt rate a specific movie or comic design over the classic style of Batman.
I’m sure it is. I’ve only got so much in my budget for Mezco. They tend to be super pricey. The Darkseid and Sovereign Knight are vacuuming up my Mezco budget this month.
The DC Collectibles and NECA Batman look awesome, well the NECA version does, but they are extremely fragile. The first NECA Batman I bought broke simply trying to remove him from the package, and DC Collectibles has shoddy paint apps and are made using some of the cheapest plastics. I wouldn't put any of them on my list, the ones I would replace them with would be 1993's Combat Belt Batman and if we must go modern the Total Heroes Batman Beyond set.
Not sure I have 10 batman figures and I no longer own my super powers or Kenner Keaton batman. I do own the Alex Ross Justice Batman, gorgeous figure. A Mattel 66 Batman, the box set with Robin and batgirl, the Superfriends batman, but my favorite is the Mattel Arkham Origins batman. Forgot to mention my dc direct 1st appearance batman.
Considering the MAFEX JL Batman for under $70 but I own the BvS Mezco one, have so many pre-orders between now and Feb and the DCEU is losing actors, may switch actors. anyway so I dunno what to do but the MAFEX looks great, damnit.
Do you think we are ever going to get a well rounded, solid 6" DC line? Its 2020 and it still doesn't exist. Also, it seems like I'm the only one who likes the Enemies Among Us DC Direct batman. The articulation is lacking but the sculpt is AMAZING and the style is perfect (except the cape needs a little tweaking).
Nahhh, my number one still the mafex justice league batman, i don't have the mezco bvs cause what i see that batman has a big weird chunky neck and that just ruined my interest to pre order it back in the day, and i don't know why but i really like the icons rebirth batman, i probably gonna put it in top 5, well that just my perspective XD
My top 5 Batman figures are: 1. NECA 7 inch 1989 Batman 2. Kenner Batman Returns 15 inch Batman figure (with movie accurate suit) 3. DC Collectibles Batman TAS Batman figure 4. DC Direct Batman Arkham Asylum Batman 5. NECA 18 inch 1989 Batman figure.
100% avree that batman should not be too tall. Not exactly as short as wolverine but not a 7 foot tall Adonis either. It just looks etter like that to me. Great list by the way
I just want a Keaton Batman in the NECA scale with better articulation. I have the NECA Keaton Batman, and it sucks. The cape was ripped from the moment I got it, then in no time at all one of the legs broke at the knee. So I took the head off that figure and put it on the DC Multiverse Val Kilmer Batman figure. It ended up looking a lot better than I thought it would, but it's still not that perfect Keaton Batman figure that I want. I also want a Reeve Superman in that scale with better articulation. I bought two of the NECA Reeve Superman's, and with BOTH of them one of the legs broke in the same exact place. One of them the same day that I got it. If a perfect representation of those Batman's and Superman's are ever made they will be the last Batman and Superman figures I ever buy. I have a lot of NECA figures, but I'm scared to even touch them because they are far too fragile, and that goes for the figures as well as the accessories that come with them. I don't think I have a single one that's still completely intact. If the figure itself hasn't broken then one of it's accessories surely has. I spend a lot of money on figure collecting, but when one of those figures breaks it's the equivalent of me just flushing that money right down the toilet.
My top is 1: Batman Arkham city DC Direct 2: Batman begins medicom 3: batman last rights DC icons 4: Batman Arkham origins NECA 5: Batman tactical suit mezco 6: Batman the animated series mondo figure 7: Batman the dark knight sh figuarts 8: Batman 1989 DC multiverse 9: Batman Gotham Knight sideshow figure 10: Batman Arkham city Hot toys
The BvS suit is a mixed bag for me. The cowl looks fantastic from the front... but not such a good side profile. I hope with the live action batsuit we get a traditional/classic look just like BvS but with a bit slimmer proportions and slightly longer ears. But not too long.
The articulation is the tuning of the character. They've tuned the movements based on the character. They do that to star wars figures. They do that with cars. Why haven't you learned this stuff yet?
I watched this one twice but only gave a like once. Now you owe me a 1.98$ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now I rule Gotham! I just got one of the DC multiverse Reaper figs. I love it. Not only because it's new, or the cheap price. Because it's Mattelmarvelous. Except almost broke the ;&$#@#"/(+ knee!!
Wait a minute hush is 1 of the greatest figures Why didn't you included it becape great articulation and you just use all those other losers and fake air ° I know it's your opinion but my opinion I think the greatest batman figure is the hush version you could do almost any posts.
Oh NO! Why would you chain up your batman designer? You said you wanted the designers to expand the possibilities but NOW you want to limit the possibilities. You have the male perfectionist problem. You'd better get that fixed. If you don't like, then don't buy. Don't have anything to do with it. Don't gossip about it. Just walk away! ( notice the mad Max 2 quote I got in there?) Imagine humongous talking to you. "Just walk away and we won't..." You're supposed to soak in the unusual proportions of the characters. You're not worthy to question. You need to keep the superman hair cut. These other cuts ✂️ don't suit you. I was hoping you were leading the way but you're just gossiping. You've let me down. I'm ready for these alternatives but you're not. I'm up to date with the creator, but you're way behind.
Mezco Sovereign knight is easily my favorite, I may never get another Batman again. It fits my every want for a Batman
no
@@PyroSori yes
Yes
@pyrosori you are a troll
@@thebatman3809 no
Love how you make it a point to say these are your personal picks..very genuine
I agree with your list. Mezco BvS batman is really awesome
true that
no
Dude seriously why
Do you hate mezco that much
@@thebatman3809 I dont. I Just have a negative attitude towards everything
BVS Batman is my #1 figure as well. Even have 2 KO versions and like them just as much. Awesome video, looking forward to many more
Love the blue and grey Batman hush.
I almost thought you weren't going to pick a batfleck then boom number 1 and 2 ! Lol . Great list
You should do a video about how you got into collecting as an adult..what your first collection consisted of what influences you had and so on...give a history of the DC geek we know and love
No.

Awesome finishing sentence we are all different and overall great video. My list is different as well.
I like how you did this top 10 list. Look forward to other top 10 lists to come.
The Toybiz Keaton figure was my first Batman figure ever.
Great list of Batman figures Brad....thanks for posting this!
Great list man so hard to just do 10....additionally, I love my NECA Batman 66 (my favorite), Vampire Batman, Grim Knight, as well as Thrasher Suit Batman 👍
Awesome list man!
I just searched for "Best Batman figure 2018" and this appears.
So thanks for your great work.
Your top three are mine as well. Will probably be adding Mezco Sovereign Knight Bats to that list next year.
Nice list, some I agree with. I think I would have ranked the animated series higher though. My number one would be the infinite Crisis Batman figure…
All these Batman figures are cool. I still have my 3 favorites
1. Hush Batman by, Jim Lee
2. 1989 Toy Biz movie Batman
3. 1984 Kenner Super Powers Batman. The Super Powers Batman was the first Batman figure I ever had and I had great times.
I'd like to hear how your list has changed with McFarlane's figures coming to the mix.
Great list. I've got simple tastes, I guess, since I have Total Heroes Batman and a few Knight Missions Batman figures. Then again, I also tend to be more of a "3 figures for like 30-40 bucks" rather than "1 real expensive figure" kind of collector. Nothing wrong with that, just different strokes.
7:54 I actually found this figure at a play ground when I was about 6, and I still have him to this day! (Minus the cape)
Nice list Brad! My #1 would be the "First Appearance Batman Masterpiece Edition." I'm a real sucker for his First Appearance look! The combination of soft goods, decent articulation, a Batarang with working belt holster, AND a wireframe cape just make this one of my all time favorite figures ever!

No.
That's all wrong.
If you were right, then you wouldn't need to comment.
You have great doubts about yourself.
@@Gma7788 ???
Great list Brad! You should complete the trinity once your able too 👍🏽🤘🏽
Knight Captain Maybe in the new year I’ll be able to do that. 👍
SHFiguarts Dark Knight 2.0 is one of the best...definitely get him Brad...only like $35
That was my first Batman as a child too...and my favorite Batman figure along with the 89 Batman and Batman Beyond
I love dc icons last rites and it has so many accessories
Great list & always interesting to hear an experienced collector's insights on the why & where on the list.

Nice new look 👍🏼
Rebirth version looks awesome
The DC superheroes Batman I was expecting that to be higher
Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Nicely done, well-informed, and not taking yourself too seriously... sold. Thanks. I was 21 in 1992, and set my VCR for TAS.
All Mezco and DC UC for me.

The Mezco Batman Beyond figure is incredible
I’m sure it is. I’ve only got so much in my budget for Mezco. They tend to be super pricey. The Darkseid and Sovereign Knight are vacuuming up my Mezco budget this month.
Merry Christmas dude
If you get the sovereign knight batman could you make a comparison with it and the bvs batman?
I love DC Grey and Black Batman.
The DC Collectibles and NECA Batman look awesome, well the NECA version does, but they are extremely fragile.

@@BradTheDCUniverseGeek I ordered MAFEX Supes for 50 and this Batman for 64. :)
have you seen the mondo 1/6 btas batman? the duluxe version w/ the extra accesories is definately on my get list
#4&5 have the power of nostalgia behind them. :)
Glad that i own 1 of them - DC Icons rebirth Batman
Do you think we are ever going to get a well rounded, solid 6" DC line? Its 2020 and it still doesn't exist. Also, it seems like I'm the only one who likes the Enemies Among Us DC Direct batman.

I agree with the number 1 chosen figure.
My favourite is sovereign knight px exclusive, he's perfect
Omg yes! Lmao I swear I'll use it like you did. Hilarious!!!
Clearly this is a list for me.
Nahhh, my number one still the mafex justice league batman, i don't have the mezco bvs cause what i see that batman has a big weird chunky neck and that just ruined my interest to pre order it back in the day, and i don't know why but i really like the icons rebirth batman, i probably gonna put it in top 5, well that just my perspective XD
can you start a new series of top 10 figures for different characters
Where would you put the Amazing Yamaguchi Batman?
My top 5 Batman figures are:
1. NECA 7 inch 1989 Batman
2. Kenner Batman Returns 15 inch Batman figure (with movie accurate suit)
3. DC Collectibles Batman TAS Batman figure
4. DC Direct Batman Arkham Asylum Batman
5. NECA 18 inch 1989 Batman figure.
You didn't do your top 10 Superman figures, did you? Or was it a while back...
Top Ten classic Supes was 2ish months ago. This video is just delayed by a few weeks. Sorry mate.
No worries! I probably saw it, but you put out so much content, ya know... ;)
Arkham Batman’s look the best IMO...especially Origins
6:22 LOL looks like he's trying to hold in a fart or something
100% avree that batman should not be too tall. Not exactly as short as wolverine but not a 7 foot tall Adonis either. It just looks etter like that to me. Great list by the way

Was that a reference to antman
I got the bvs mezco and man it’s amazing
Succumb to the beard side, fellow Brad! It's itchy at first, but that'll pass, then it's comfortable.
You’re about to change your list sir… They’re bringing out three new Batman‘s and they are beautiful looking… McFarlane has out done himself.
Toy biz batman is a must !!!
The BvS suit is a mixed bag for me. The cowl looks fantastic from the front... but not such a good side profile.
I hope with the live action batsuit we get a traditional/classic look just like BvS but with a bit slimmer proportions and slightly longer ears.
But not too long.
Conspiracy TV I’m hoping the Titans suit looks nothing like the one previously “leaked”.
My top 10 would be all from Kenner Batman TAS 😂😂😂😂😂
Fine tastes sir!
You dye your hair blue and green. I hardly think a goatee is extreme at this point ha ha 👍
Ask yourself...if the house was burning down and you could only grab ONE Batman figure...which one?
Yeah happy wife happy life, happy husband suspicious wife
props for B v S
How manyGeorge Clooney figures made the cut.....?
No TDK ver.3 Mafex ???
Dc superheroes batman was number 9........how
Keaton and Affleck were the best Batmen.
The best Batman figure is the SH figuarts Michael Keaton Batman. The only problem is that it doesn’t exist.
That would be a very cool thing to see.
Mezco Acending Knight Batman?
Ay, is that a Superman body pillow on your couch?
...Know where I can get one?
The articulation is the tuning of the character.
They've tuned the movements based on the character.
They do that to star wars figures.
They do that with cars.
Why haven't you learned this stuff yet?
what about hot toys batman jl?
Agreed!!!
