Another out of the park review. Congratulations on snagging what is perhaps THE quintessential Batman figure, one that was a long time coming. I’m interested to see if purchases of 6-7” Batman figures slow down since for many this is the figure they’ve always wanted
In regards to scale, I think McFarlane can redeem himself with this Batman buck & the Blue beetle/Booster Gold bucks. With reusing & retooling those bodies he can correct the scaling for future classic figures for sure. All he needs to do is create a good teenage body, or at the very least retool the height of that Jonathan Kent buck.
I love your figure reviews/videos. I do have a question with regards to the exclusive kngihtfall batman, as far as his cowl and cape, which other figure color wise & shade (don't have to be batman but from any of mcfarlane 's figures) is it equal or closest to? I am contemplating buying it from the secondary market and would like to know if that's a striking difference. Thank you in advance.
🤞🏾 for that 2 pack (Batman, Bane). I’m also waiting for the regular Knightfall Azrael. I got my 30th Anniversary Batman but I don’t know if I open it or not. Probably I will buy another one for display. I concur with you about the scale 😓
@dhunter…the open grip hands on mine are matching tones with the fists and suit blue…looks like you got a lemon…but you can always paint it the right blue…but man you shouldn’t have too
I was trying to buy two at SDCC because that was the limit (2 per customer), but they only allowed me to purchase one since they were running out. Not sure if I was lied to or not.
I won that 30th Knightfall Batman and 85th Anniversary Superman. These have been some of the few McFarlane's I've gotten this year. You should get some kind of refund or discount from that rip, especially if it wasn't mentioned in the listing.
Nice review dhunter, i actually wasn't interested in buying this batman but as soon as a saw it i immediately thought it was perfect for a batman dead end custom to go with the neca preds i still don't own big red. Im gonna buy 2 of these if i find them though, one to have it the way it is and the other for the dead end custom but painting it black and swapping the bat logo. Im also really not satisfied with the look of batman v spawn 2 pack but ill buy the more accurate black and grey hush batman
Great review. That new figure is definitely superior and it's pretty irritating, almost like they did it on purpose. The shade of grey they used on the standard release figure still pisses me off. It looks like Alfred accidentally used bleach when he was doing Bruce's laundry. If it had been the same shade as the SDCC figure I would probably never need another Batman figure. If they never do fix it, I can live with the lighter grey, but if someday they do re-release the figure with a darker shade I would probably have to pick it up.
Man, I completely feel your frustration! McFarlane does this ALL THE TIME. So close to perfection and they botch the landing on something so simple. SO FRUSTATING LOL.
The grey does look much better than the standard release. I think the new mafex night crusader and bane are going to blow McFarlane's out of the water but should considering they're on the high end of figures, i cant wait to get them but would love to see this released on McFarlane toys store.
I like the black on the face. It reminds me of how he looked in the Superfriends cartoon. Without the black it just looks like something is missing. I hope I can find this figure.
I think you may have gotten an error with yours @dHunter mine came with same colored fists and here is another example of someone else without the mismatched fists: th-cam.com/video/Qg0dMGRTe4s/w-d-xo.html
Has it been unopened, sealed, if it's a defect (hand color), thats would be very rare after 20 years. :-) and will fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars in an auction. God bless.
How the hell did Toddy Mac screw up the extra hands?? Pure stupidity. Hopefully they re-release this figure so more collectors can get him at a decent price.
@@tstewart3034 Clearly the notion that Todd himself made the mistake was not to be taken seriously. If you’re so dim to suggest that was the original intent you’re intellectually impaired.
An absolute MASTERCLASS in how to review a figure!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love seeing the particular figure being reviewed compared to other figures, you took it to another level entirely even comparing to a bag of cat food 🤣🤣 I still think the blue/grey Hush is MY personal favourite so far but this is a stunning figure!! It’s just the grey on my regular Knightfall figure that upsets me.. the DC direct you compared it to has the “PERFECT” shade of grey IMO and if this McFarlane Knightfall was that shade it would be P E R F E C T !!!! This SDCC EX is ALOT better than the original though. Fantastic review mate 😎👍 Subbed.
Easy enough if you have shrink wrap and a heat gun. He may have put the first release in the box for storage and decided to sell the SDCC variant later. Forgot to take the hands out.
So strange to have cell shading on the head and trunks only. Imo either they should've just painted the mask part fully black and skipped the trunks, OR cell-shaded the boots, gloves and cape as well!
The cell shading was always used for the blue on Batman in the 90's it was mainly on the cowl and trunks not so much on the gloves or boots. What they should've done was add shading on the wrinkles of the grey suit to make the figure pop more
this is a perfect classic Batman figure
Exactly
😂 I love wen he dose the articulation on the arm wen he up , down all that good stuff lol I am a big fan of your videos toy reviews keep up good work
Lol nice

They won’t Batman too popular

I see them continuing with miss matched scale
Oh yeah i forgot to mention that im not customizing this version but just the regular version so yeah.
Got it
Great review, big improvement with the tone of the grey. Hopefully this figure is released widespread down the road.
I got one just a few days ago from game stop online is not sold out there (nightfall Batman)
It won’t be, it yes MUCH improved

I’m not aware of any that are the same shade
What’s the batcave background? I love it
Dc direct Batman the Animated Series Batcave

Yeah annoying

I need another
Mine the ear broke off and I can’t find it

It’s open now
Unfortunately Batman’s ear broke off
Hey d hunter do u think target will ever get the regular dc knightfall Batman on store shelves
Yes
how hard was it to get them all cause im currently getting one but theirs a slight problem maybe its nothing major but maybe they have run out
Sdcc is pretty expensive now. Not crazy, but not cheap.
I saw another review of this and the figure got the gripping hands with the correct color.
Sigh
The darker grey is good but I don’t like shading on figures. I should be getting 5he regular figure soon.
I usually don’t like shading, but this came out really good
Tx 4 the review. I will wait for a pinless figure😂
While you wait I’ll be enjoying these figures!
Nice review dhunter, i actually wasn't interested in buying this batman but as soon as a saw it i immediately thought it was perfect for a batman dead end custom to go with the neca preds i still don't own big red.

Did you ever complete this?
It's a great figure and super popular. He sold out everyday. Luckily I got one from a friend and he latered on lined up to get himself another one.
Lucky you

This is true

What does the night crusader look like?
Only they will be a little too small
I think yours has a faulty set of spare hands. Mine comes with the correct color.
Dumb
I’m getting the standard release soon. I was going to use it as Tim Drake as Batman from Battle For The Cowl.
Wasn’t it dick Grayson?
@@dHuntersReviews it was both. Tim grabbed a suit first and used the grey and blue one.
I do not recall Tim ever using the suit
It’s only for a few pages before Jason nearly kills him.
Permashadow on the forehead is reminiscent of Marshall Rogers art.
Exactly
Gamestop screwed me out of this one 😢
Must be Canada?
Im getting the regular one on monday but i want this one!!! Damn exclusives.
This one is fantastic and elite
Great figure DHunter,
For sure
i love the light colored batman, but these dark colors just look perfect. it makes him look thinner and more 3 dimensional, exactly like batman
It’s awesome
I like the black on the face. It reminds me of how he looked in the Superfriends cartoon.
Without the black it just looks like something is missing. I hope I can find this figure.
I like it both ways
Personally I hope for a repaint as none of them have a decent shade of grey
The new one is good
They won’t do a blue and grey repaint
Maybe a black and grey
I'm convinced the reason Tim Drake is that size is for an Arkham Robin
But that’s not an Arkham robin…
I wish we could get a new Superman body buck
We have action comics
Infected
Dark knight returns
And page puncher
We have had new ones
Very cool figure
It’s the best
I think you may have gotten an error with yours @dHunter mine came with same colored fists and here is another example of someone else without the mismatched fists: th-cam.com/video/Qg0dMGRTe4s/w-d-xo.html
Sure is a BIG error
@@dHuntersReviews I'd be pissed, too
Especially with what I paid…
I got one through the auction
Lucky you!
This is a figure I hope to aquire.
He’s amazing
Has it been unopened, sealed, if it's a defect (hand color), thats would be very rare after 20 years. :-) and will fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars in an auction.
God bless.
I opened it for this video…
It was not open before
It won’t be worth anything special
The blue of the gripping fists on mine does match the blue of the figure, so it looks like yours was a f*** up.
That’s great…
This one should have came with a crooked spine.
Heh…
Lol
I entered for Knightfall and Dread Lantern I won Dread Lantern.
The worst one
How the hell did Toddy Mac screw up the extra hands?? Pure stupidity.
Hopefully they re-release this figure so more collectors can get him at a decent price.
Stupidity is thinking that Todd was in China painting figure hands.
@@tstewart3034 Clearly the notion that Todd himself made the mistake was not to be taken seriously. If you’re so dim to suggest that was the original intent you’re intellectually impaired.
Only mine is messed up
there is absolutely no reason not to just customize the figure they already released instead of paying Con-Exclusive money the second market!!!
True
An absolute MASTERCLASS in how to review a figure!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love seeing the particular figure being reviewed compared to other figures, you took it to another level entirely even comparing to a bag of cat food 🤣🤣
I still think the blue/grey Hush is MY personal favourite so far but this is a stunning figure!!

This SDCC EX is ALOT better than the original though.
Fantastic review mate 😎👍
Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!!
You buy 2 of all your figures? Geeeze, you must be as rich a Bruce Wayne himself.
Just the Batman and related stuff
This would be one of the best if it was for retail and readily available but since it’s not I can’t put this up there.
Agreed
I gotta become better friends with You I'd love to see your collection in person.
Judging by your name, I don’t think you live in my state
@@dHuntersReviews Shyt I go to WrestleMania every year I'd come to see that 😂
Nice
I’ll have to sell tickets
I would definitely contact McFarlane about the hands.
Indeed
I think whoever you bought this from on Ebay swindled you with those hands for some reason.
No, it was sealed in plastic. McFarlane did it.
Easy enough if you have shrink wrap and a heat gun. He may have put the first release in the box for storage and decided to sell the SDCC variant later. Forgot to take the hands out.
No, it was sealed, you can’t fake that easily. Why would anyone want to keep the wrong hands with the regular Knightfall Batman?
So strange to have cell shading on the head and trunks only. Imo either they should've just painted the mask part fully black and skipped the trunks, OR cell-shaded the boots, gloves and cape as well!
The cell shading was always used for the blue on Batman in the 90's it was mainly on the cowl and trunks not so much on the gloves or boots. What they should've done was add shading on the wrinkles of the grey suit to make the figure pop more
I can see why that would bother you
