4:04 Concept art grapnel. In the scene you were referring to, there's a close-up shot of the grapnel with its three hooks folded up before being fired. For this release, would've been cool if Batman's body was the same color as the cowl, gloves, and boots. Because in some images the Sonar Suit looks dark gray. 11:50 Making the bottom coins transparent might've looked better. 17:56 Batman & Robin Bane too. Could be the Collect to Build in a wave with the Bat family in their Ice Armor and one other figure.
That nightmare bat is almost a dead ringer for the one depicted on Meatloaf's bat out of hell album cover 🤓 it's also quite an expensive way to get a great Halloween decoration 😁
I like to think of the Schumacher films as marrying the Tim Burton aesthetic with '66 Camp! Were there tonal problems? absolutely! Did it result in some fun movies for kids with brilliant spectacle? Also, yes! Love this film for all the reasons you do. Bringing Robin to the big screen, Jim as Riddler, and Val is an underrated Batman! (And don't get me started on Dr. Chase!) Thanks for another great review, Shiz!
You know they have swivels at the crotch right? They’ve actually improved on them since the line first started. In your own words, what would the thigh swivel cut do to make the figures better?
Is it just me or does the giant bat look like it's cousin on the cover of that Meat Loaf album Bat Out Of Hell? Very cool set, I still have my Batman glass from McDonald's, still to hunt down the other three.
I like these figures WAY more than the movie. I hated this Harvey Dent in this movie. He was basically behaving like the Joker. I do kind of want to get a second one and put a Lando Calrisian head to make a Batman '89 Harvey Dent/Two Face.
I still own two McDonald's glasses also, I am definitely picking up this wave, I have purchased Batman and the Riddler so far at Gamestop, I am looking for the others. 💪🤓
I'm very glad that you like these because I wasn't sure if you would like the Batman even though the colors are wrong like the cowl is supposed to be the same color as the suit while the gloves and the boots are black like what hot toys did with their Val Kilmer Batman. I'm definitely going to be checking my local GameStop now that you have finally gotten yours from GameStop, im also a fan of batman forever. Im not saying michael keaton was bad or anything, i just think val kilmer was alot cooler. Cant wait to get him. But if I had to ask since you light Twoface and Batman the most which one would you say people should go for between the two?
Taking aside how colorful it was and especially Two-Face´s acting...the movie is good. Had it stayed like this Batman and Robin would have worked, But here they went too far. ...and the giant bat is a waste. It would have been better a Chase Meridian.
@@ToyShiz No. I didn´t mean a BAF Chase Meridian. I just meant another figure. ;) ...in fact, thinking about it...they could have included the Two-Face´s henchwomen as well to compensate for a BAF.
I know I probably can't justify it, and the green light really doesn't bother me that much anyway, but there is actually a scene in the beginning of Batman Forever during the "hot entrance" where you can see the Batmobile in the background and the lights actually look green.
I pre-ordered this entire wave on day 1 from Entertainment Earth and it still hadn't shipped. Then I find out that the Robin was sold out. So I went to GameStops app and was able to order the entire wave yesterday. GS already shipped all 4 and they will be arriving Monday. I don't get what's up with EE but I canceled the rest of my order.
In Australia, these figures costs between $50-$55AUD each, how on earth did mcfarlane sneaked up the price, i remember these figures wouldve been no more than $24.95AUD within the last 3 years.
I am waiting for that Jack Nicholson Joker and Danny devito penguin. Like how could they not make them first ? I seriously hope they do make them cause that Jack Nicholson joker would beat all of these villains
WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!! Robin's figure-outfit colours are all wrong for this movie, this toy version is similar to the batman adam west robins outfit with the bright colours. In batman forever robins outfit is metallic red and green. so whats going on??? is mcFarlane trying to do another cash grab by re-releasing these figures again in their actual colours???
I'm glad you like them, but for me this was the beginning of the end, Schumacher should never have been let near the franchise. I've got the bat creature from Batman v Superman.
I met Schumacher once at a screenwriter's festival. Lovely guy. He was still getting questions about these films, especially the nipples on the suit. You could tell he was a bit tired of being asked about them, but he was very courteous still and amiable. It's a shame as he was a severely-underrated director and made some great films.
@@MonsieurJimjams Oh yeah he made a ton of great movies and I've seen most of them, and I'm guessing he was heavily leaned on by the Big wigs at WB to tone down the darkness and turn it into a commercial to sell toys, but still, it ruined his career and killed the franchise. I normally don't collect movie based figures, so I won't be getting these.
@@MonsieurJimjams I was put off by the nipples when the movie came out but didn't deter me from watching it. Schumacher mentioned from the beginning that he wanted the Batman and Robin suits to mimic ancient Roman armor. I Googled Roman armor and didn't realize it does have the nipples. 😂 One of my guilty pleasure movies to watch (soundtrack was really good).
I don’t even like Batman I’m more of a Marvel fan. I literally asked him if he could get me a marvel legend Scarlet spider figure and he got me a Batman figure from a movie. I’ve never watched before
So happy they are doing these old movies waves. My fav figs from McFarlane. Need the Burton movies next!
It’s coming next year!
Kiss From a Rose is stuck in my head now. 🌹
That and Hold me, Thrill me, Kiss me, Kill me.
Not my thing, but I do feel many people will be regretting missing out on these one day. Cool likenesses.
That Giant Bat really ties the room together, Dude.
@@MonsieurJimjams legit ties my shelf display together

Woooooooooooo joygasm! I just got Val Batman yesterday and I cannot wait for my Batmobile from the movie with Alfred to arrive. Good shiz Shiz.
Getting this Batman for the Val Kilmer likeness, one of my favorite actors.
I love these figures, played with mine for a week 😂
Still have my McDonald's glasses.
Me too. One of the best McDonald's collectible movie tie ins ever!

It’s my favourite Batman movie as well!

Bruh! This shit looks a million times better then the old movie figures I played with as a kid

Val Kilmer will always be my favourite Batman
Thigh swivels would go a long way. Fat Batman has them.

I live the line. I need that riddler

Hopefully, one day Bane gets to flex alongside his friends in his green luchador glory.

I just managed to get batman at my local gamestop today, and I'm so happy i got him. It's totally worth picking up.

...and the giant bat is a waste. It would have been better a Chase Meridian.
As hilarious an optic as a Build A Nicole Kidman, that would be such a lame BAF. That’s a marvel legends things to do.

1995 was a good 👍 year 👌 👍 😀 🙌 👏 📅 😎 🆒️ 🎉❤
I was in Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬 when I saw 👀 the trailer for this movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 📽 back in Abuja Nigeria 🇳🇬 on Sky One Television 📺 📅 📆 📅 🎉❤

Now can you use the wings for the man bat figure?
Team Mafex, and regular suite Batman forever, look like suite 1989
:oooo
I really do like Mcfarlane but when is he gonna upgrade the Joint System?
Now if they made a Sugar and Spice then I'm in
I can’t find Batman or Robin any where😢 I already have 2 face and riddler
Edit: I found one today and he is awesome!
I am waiting for that Jack Nicholson Joker and Danny devito penguin. Like how could they not make them first ? I seriously hope they do make them cause that Jack Nicholson joker would beat all of these villains
@@alexev91 That Joker might take a while, apparently Jack Nicholson has issues with licensing his likeness
Wait, there's no robin kung fu laundry play set? Pass.
okay the nightmare bat was in the movie it was not a deleted scene just wanted to inform you of that
Man come on. Do some research before you say things publicly.
I can't believe you think Batman forever is better than the Michael Keaton Jack Nicholson Batman but like you I was little and that movie blew me away
Only one i got is two face. I havent opened him yet.
You right coin flip hand is crappy...to me it looks more like a flip phone.
are the head swaps as easy as Marvel Legends? Or is there permanent damage?
Mixed bag for Multiverse, the newer ones are def easier to swap
Too bad we didn't get Dr Chase Meridian.
The paint isn’t on my two face hand either
The same with the one I found at Target recently. It looks like it's an omission through the whole run. Be well.
Where's my Dr. Chase Meridian figure?
Probably pick up Twoface
So glad you have the 1st review up. Can't stand when it's dan, dudes voice is unbearable

@@upyoursenator prince partyman/🦇dance 200 balloons & scandalous
That bat looks like an old school McFarlane horror figure. Wish it was sold separately as i just do not like Batman Forever at all
My dad bought me Batman I hate it so mush the figure is Ass
I don’t even like Batman I’m more of a Marvel fan. I literally asked him if he could get me a marvel legend Scarlet spider figure and he got me a Batman figure from a movie. I’ve never watched before
@@Baldwhistle Be appreciative your pops gets you figures man. This ish isn't cheap.
@@Baldwhistle 'I'm more of a DC fan' ? Did you mean Marvel?
🆒 Batman
You sound pretty ungrateful. 🤷🏽♂️
