Thanks again. Cannot wait for the Tactical and Knightmare suits pre-orders to go up. Hope we also get a V.2 of the BVS original and Armored suits as well from Mafex
the waist gap is because the torso sits too high, needs a shorter peg or something, to push it down. overall i think he looks good, the wired cape is much needed improvement
Yeah the wiring is definitely a plus over the previous one. I took the torso off and tried adjusting things as best I could but just chalked it up to bad engineering.
@@KaijuDaddyJapan yeah definitely bad engineering, they already done a good job on the 1.0. but still im looking forward to it, cause i never owned any batfleck figure yet
Oh man, what a bummer the articulation and gaps issues. This was the Mafex figure I was most looking forward to this year, being a huge Batfleck fan, now not so much but will still get him to have the whole League. Thanks for another great review!
Appreciate the kind words. Once you figure out how to get those gap issues minimized by finding a decent pose, he looks great. The heads as a whole are second to none. Those are a home run in my opinion.
All Mafex figures have a torso gap. The one on Knightfall is the worst. This figure at least has abs that looks smooth going into the backbend. The Knightfall Batman's abs sticks out in a big muscular lump at the top when you bend the figure backwards, looks ugly as hell. They couldn't have chosen a worse figure for those abs since Knightfall is famous for the Bane backbreaking scene where he had to be bent backwards.
For the heads coming off, definitely recommend some sticky tak or museum wax. Pretty cheap and reusable as it doesn't leave any residue behind. Kinda like a glueable playdoh.
So, your figure is a fake reproduction? Ah ok...I was just wondering....most of this Mafex have the logo at bottom of the back side...thanks for your service anyway...this figure for me is nice...🎉😂
I feel his upper body is kinda stretched out, that's why he has a weird overall body proportion..I think it needs a mod to compress the upper body a little..
Well said. I thought the proportions are off as well. I know Affleck was overweight in the Zack Snyder scenes but the figure looks swuat. Kind of like looking at a reflection in those distorted mirrors at a circus.
Is there a reason you asked until January? It’s hard to say. With the holidays approaching and end of year bonuses, you can never tell. The reissues are always a lower production run than the original run so there’s a good chance it might be.
@@KaijuDaddyJapan I'm still deciding if I should get the batman figure or the tobey spiderman that will get realesed around that time. I can only get one. I think will make up my mind until then but I fear the batman will not be available.
Mafex ain’t cheap. We definitely sacrifice other figures when choosing to spend our money on them. If passing on a figure you aren’t sold on helps you to get another one, then it’s all good. 👍
@@KaijuDaddyJapan yes specially for the price . i might end up getting mafex captain america from the comics . thank you for the review it prevent me from disapointment having gaps in the back torso .
The Ben Affleck head likeness also isn't as accurate with this version as it was with the old suited Bruce Wayne figure. The only thing this has over the original is the cape is wired. And I still think this version is too bulky, even when Affleck was bigger in the Snyder Cut over the original Joss Whedon version .
@@shrimmpppppYeah, it's was a puzzling choice by Mafex as the Tactical Suit figure did come with a wire in its cape. The pleather material on both of mine are still in perfect condition.
@KaijuDaddyJapan Thanks for the video, good showcase! I'm so sad because I was literally going to pre-order this but glad I watched your review. Really a big fan of the Synderverse DC heroes and their figure counterparts (yes I'm super biased). Henry and Ben are my definitive Superman and Batman. I've got the McFarlane Justice League Batman which holds up pretty well. The Fond Joy is also another great option for the collection and was hoping to add this MAFEX version too but the issues seem to be more than what could be enjoyable about this figure. I feel like they just rushed this release. If they took some more time they could have perhaps fixed all the aforementioned QC cons. And thought about the articulation a little better? I'd like to see how it poses and some shots against other figures.
@@KaijuDaddyJapan maybe or just waiting for the right moment since he just revealed the bvs wave, rerelease darkseid, along with a rerelease of JL Superman and didn’t even change anything else with it except the hands
@@KaijuDaddyJapan definitely. I pre-ordered it off amiami. I agree with you saying we've gotten a bit spoiled with the comic Cap and daredevil. For some reason I feel like a lot of companies have trouble with live action figures. Mafex does them the best but they also struggle with articulation and sometimes overall astatic. But I still think this is the best 1:12 Batflek we've gotten thus far.
Fondjoy Batfleck is cheaper and larger, comes with more accessories, has a better cape and proportions, and the likeness is more like Affleck. Thanks for the review, though, as it'll help collectors decide whether to pick one up or not. As this is a 1/12 scale figure, it may still be appealing to many collectors.
I have both and all you said doesn’t make a figure better than the other they both have the same things and features you just like one more than the other, its a personal opinion not a fact
@@artofgarduno fondjoy bvs batman comes with the same accessories, inferior cape material, the head is bigger than the neck not accurate to the on screen cowl, the bat logo is from the JL suit not the bvs suit and the mouth piece is too long that gives him a huge upper lip so much people and myself had to trim the top, it has no ab crunch and small hands. Next to this mafex he is not better, I like fondjoy but if you are gonna give your opinion get your facts checked first
It seems a bit small but it seems kind of in line with the film. The suit he wore in the movie was definitely bulking him up making his head look a bit smaller. With the figure, it’s not a deal breaker
@@KaijuDaddyJapanThe New versions masked heads are more accurate. But the gaps in the torso are inexcusable from a Mafex. This version is a bit too fat and the older one a bit too thin.
Seems like this figure is not great overall. It doesn't look like a good upgrade from the first release. I guess i'll wait for the justice league batman from fondjoy, which it's gonna be 1/9 scale and more affordable.
I'd give it a "Meh" rating as body proportions look sorta off since legs appear too short & torso/upper body too long imo (but that's how it looked in promo pics too). Easy pass, for me anyway.
In some ways it looks off but it kinda looks like how he appeared in the movie unless I’m remembering it wrong. Either way, saving money here and there on figures isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There’s always another figure we miss out on when buying Mafex so hope that money goes to good use.
@@KaijuDaddyJapan idk, maybe it looks better in-hand. Final version looks better than the promo pics but those proportions still look off imo. Would have rather seen legs height more comparable to Mafex Cyborg Superman.
Still on the fence about this one, funds are tight this time of year 😢 ok after the video it's a definite pass because of the gap at the belt and loose heads, never was a big fan of the suit anyway so I'm ok not getting this one.
Still looking forward to getting this, but that underwear snafu is probably gonna drive me... BATTY. Sorry, had to. But yeah, solid review, think we have similar thoughts on these things, thanks for pointing them out for us!
Damn, he looked so promising too! I guess I’ll keep him in box. I’m also scared of that cape peeling in the future
No lo posa de la mejor manera! Seguro en mano mejorará mucho!
The cape definitely makes you nervous for a few years down the line.
I’m not the best poser in the world. But it’s hard to get around the issues on that gap.
Thanks again. Cannot wait for the Tactical and Knightmare suits pre-orders to go up. Hope we also get a V.2 of the BVS original and Armored suits as well from Mafex

the waist gap is because the torso sits too high, needs a shorter peg or something, to push it down. overall i think he looks good, the wired cape is much needed improvement

Thanks for the review! Waiting for Ami Ami to get this in. Should be shipping together with my Daredevil 🎉
You still haven’t gotten Daredevil? My God (Jim Ross voice)
For the heads coming off, definitely recommend some sticky tak or museum wax. Pretty cheap and reusable as it doesn't leave any residue behind. Kinda like a glueable playdoh.
Yeah I’ll be using it if the head coming off becomes a major issue
Wow not sure whether this is worth getting anymore. Thanks for the review.
No problem 👍
Hi...where I can find the logo DC to check is original?
You want to know if your figure is original? There’s no. KO of this figure right now.
So, your figure is a fake reproduction? Ah ok...I was just wondering....most of this Mafex have the logo at bottom of the back side...thanks for your service anyway...this figure for me is nice...🎉😂
No no. There is no KO of this figure. No need to search whether it’s original or not. All the figures are original right now.
At this price point, the figure shouldn’t have those gaps. Mafex really missed the mark with this piece.
They really should have done a better job on the engineering of that part of the figure.
You get any paint scraping on the chest/stomach area from moving it? I've seen that in another review.
None so far
I feel his upper body is kinda stretched out, that's why he has a weird overall body proportion..I think it needs a mod to compress the upper body a little..
Now that you mention that, I sort of see it too and agree
@@KaijuDaddyJapan..will check on mine when it comes and do a mod of it..
Good luck
Well said. I thought the proportions are off as well. I know Affleck was overweight in the Zack Snyder scenes but the figure looks swuat. Kind of like looking at a reflection in those distorted mirrors at a circus.
That’s hilarious
My mafex nightwing has the same problem with the head.
Oh really? Ridiculously annoying that they just pop off so easily.
Awesome figure. Cant wait for the other dceu figures
Thanks for watching
Hey will you be doing a delays/releases update for November/December?
If I can get some new info this week I will
If the waist is that gappy, the crunch should be wayyy better!
You would think so but it isn’t.
@@KaijuDaddyJapanI was hoping and anticipating that in this video. What an odd design choice. Uncharacteristic of Mafex.
Sometimes they just do inexplicable stuff
Yikes. Glad I went for the yamaguchi batman instead. I'll wait for the tactical suit.
The Yamaguchi Batman Arkham Knight figure releases on Thursday this week. I’ll have a review of that one up as well.
Do you think the dark knight returns reissue is going to sell out until january?
Is there a reason you asked until January? It’s hard to say. With the holidays approaching and end of year bonuses, you can never tell. The reissues are always a lower production run than the original run so there’s a good chance it might be.
@@KaijuDaddyJapan I'm still deciding if I should get the batman figure or the tobey spiderman that will get realesed around that time. I can only get one. I think will make up my mind until then but I fear the batman will not be available.
Never count on a Mafex figure being on time. Who knows when that Tobey will release.
Do you know if the heads are swappable with the original version?
They should be. I haven’t been able to find my original version. It’s in storage 😞
thanyou for the review . looking at it i feel is not worth it i am canceling this order . save it other purchases on the line.
Mafex ain’t cheap. We definitely sacrifice other figures when choosing to spend our money on them. If passing on a figure you aren’t sold on helps you to get another one, then it’s all good. 👍

Oh did you not get Comic Captain America yet?
Damn... this wasn't an upgrade at all. First version is better, only thing this one does better is the bulkiness apparently.
If you’re happy with the original, definitely no need to upgrade

Can’t really explain what they were thinking with the way that torso gap
The fact that mcfarlane has not made this version of batfleck yet is just beyond me since it’s the last Batman variant left of this version
He makes everything else. Probably saving it for some rainy day
@@KaijuDaddyJapan maybe or just waiting for the right moment since he just revealed the bvs wave, rerelease darkseid, along with a rerelease of JL Superman and didn’t even change anything else with it except the hands
I’m really hoping they revisit Jaws next year. So bummed I missed out on that movie maniacs set he did years ago.
does it come with a stand in the box?Is the figure fairly heavy or light weight?
Yes all Mafex come with stands. It’s slightly heavier than a normal Mafex but not much
Time stamps too? Outstanding
Always have time stamps. You are just noticing now that you have a smartphone and not a flip phone
Looks great bro!
Getting the figure?
@@KaijuDaddyJapan definitely. I pre-ordered it off amiami. I agree with you saying we've gotten a bit spoiled with the comic Cap and daredevil.

But I still think this is the best 1:12 Batflek we've gotten thus far.
The heads are awesome. If you can get past those gaps in the torso when posing the figure, it’s a solid release.
Are you going to get the new Vader from Shf
The reissue? Not sure. I have the original release.
Damn not really feeling anything about this release. I still love SHF release and its accurate for 1:12 scale.
It has some good weathering for sure but I like the larger scale. My Figuarts is also a bit loose in the joints
This looks like a really bad release, my god. It has issues from top to bottom. Im gonna have to think about it now
Yeah that torso engineering is not very good
Fondjoy Batfleck is cheaper and larger, comes with more accessories, has a better cape and proportions, and the likeness is more like Affleck. Thanks for the review, though, as it'll help collectors decide whether to pick one up or not. As this is a 1/12 scale figure, it may still be appealing to many collectors.
I have both and all you said doesn’t make a figure better than the other they both have the same things and features you just like one more than the other, its a personal opinion not a fact

@@200yoda002does that matter? They’re two complete different figures and not one is better than the other
are u in Japan? kinda curious why u get Mafex figs so quickly 😅
Yes, I’m in Tokyo.
Way too gappy for the price point. Bad engineering 😢 thanks you saved me some money.
Glad I could help. Hope that money you had earmarked for it goes to a great figure.
Is the head a little too small ?
It seems a bit small but it seems kind of in line with the film. The suit he wore in the movie was definitely bulking him up making his head look a bit smaller. With the figure, it’s not a deal breaker
@ definitely not a deal breaker, I need amiami to send me my charge notification
Probably today or tomorrow
Mafex done goofed making the underwear and belt separate pices...hopefully a third party mod comes out
Yeah. Having them as one piece would have definitely solved this issue
Not a good release!! Will be canceling mine . Thank you for this review brother
Glad to be of service
Al pass on it i already have the original one
Saving money isn’t a bad thing
I messed up selling my OG version😢
Aww man that sucks
Man, that's a shame. That figure still holds up today. May actually be better than this version.
