- Action figure review of the new McFarlane DC Multiverse Batman figure! Series 1 of the new McFarlane DC figures! Detailed look at height, articulation, and accessories. Insane amount of comparisons with other Batman figures and other action figure lines.
First review of this on TH-cam I've seen. And first comment right on!
Right on! Appreciate the support!
Harley is HUGE, she looks like a standalond figure and not like part of the line really.
Yeah, she almost looks like she should a lump in with the animated figures. I look forward to doing a review and digging deeper into her. Next superman and then her.
Harleys head is twice the size of Batman’s. Yikes
His is too small, her's is too large. Both about 20% in the wrong direction.
Bro i cant give you enough props on this video you broke this one figure down and the comparisons are just incredible what a helluva job on this video probably the most in depth and comparison videos ive ever seen 🤣 no lie great job you are a real deal bat fan
Thank you so much for the kind words, tried to be as thorough as possible.
You're the only reviewer I've ever seen who doesn't count the tips of his ears for his height, it's appreciated!
I try to give both measurements. It’s what I’d want to see. You’re quite welcome!
Really extensive look at such a highly anticipated figure! Good job on covering all the bases and looking forward to your review on Supes and their animated counterparts :)
Thanks, they are coming soon!
You end every sentence on an inflection, just like an Aussie :P
Straight American buddy lol
Man, I'm so happy the first review of McFarlane's DC figures I've seen is from you :D
Edit: I wasn't expecting you to talk about how he could fit in Batmobiles and several vehicles, and thank you for really pointing out how Mattel's recent releases are way softer than these McFarlane's releases. They really delivered, they just have to work at hiding articulation a little better and sculpting some more muscles, especially in the thighs, muscular thighs really make a difference. Thank you again for taking the time to answer every possible question we could come off with.
You are quite welcome, thank you for the kind words and support.
The head is so tiny... and Harley's is HUGE.
I will not argue with that statement.
Collector: bummer, there are only 6 pts of articulation on Todd McFarland toys...
Todd: Hold my Spawn toy!
There are quite a bit more than six points of articulation on these.
Amazing review. I love this figure I hope to get one for myself but from what I see I'd give him a 8/10.
It seems either you love it or you hate it. I am in the I love it camp.
Great video! :D And the McFarlane DC figs are looking great!
Agreed!
Protip: flip those bookshelves over, they are warping really bad...
I noticed that too!
They are not finished on both sides, so that wouldn't work. Cheap crappy bookshelves anyway, easily replaceable. The weight of Batman collection! lol
Trying to find this bat cave setup you are using but cant find it when typing In Batman Animated series playset
Google this, DC collectibles Batman the animated series bat cave
@@dHuntersReviews It might not look great for awhile, but the point of it is that they will eventually warp back to be much straighter and then you can flip them back around. I was literally coming into the comment secion to recommend the same thing lol
You are very extensive and I appreciate that, good review can't wait for this line to hit shelves in the UK
That's my thing, being thorough. So far so good with McFarlane (not perfect, but as good as any Mattel wave).
Thanks for the review and the size comparisons. Do you happen to have the DPCI from the receipt?
I’d have to check later sometime, not sure. Target’s street date is 1/12, another Target today would not sell them to me because of that.
Even though the animated series is my favorite Batman, I picked this one up instead. I'm on a budget so I had to limit myself to two right now. While TAS Batman has better accessories, I think this one looks way better.
I would definitely choose this one over that one. This one is great, classic, standard, comic accurate, the other one is very stylized and doesn’t fit in with the majority of my collection. Still both are good figures.
Thanks for the review! I love the belt design, and I’ll probably end up giving this guy a cloth cape and new head.
Show me pictures when you do!
Loved the comparissons. Thanks.
That's what I do. =)
Nice! You're the first guy to review any of the new DC McFarlane offerings. I'm only interested in getting Comic Superman, the Armored figures and The Batman Who Laughs. But after seeing your review, Batman has warmed up on me. I hope that stores here in my country would carry them fast. Great review! 🍻
What country is that? This figure has his flaws, but I’m liking him.
@@dHuntersReviews I'm from the Philippines, man. We had terrible distribution for the Mattel lines. I'm very hopefully for McFarlane though because I've been seeing Fortnite figures in stores.
If nothing else, these guys should be easily obtainable online soon enough.

Animated Green Lantern and Animated Batman are both taller than Animated Superman
Harley is the TALLEST of them all
Comic Batman & Comic Superman hardly look like they go together
From what I’m seeing, this line’s biggest issue so far is consistency. The figures on their own are okay, but they don’t look like they’re even made to fit in with one another. How do you expect people to want to make a collection when none of the characters look like they go together?
Haven’t been able to dig in too deep into Harley Quinn yet, but I agree, it’s like three different lines going on, as they expand the line hopefully it will make more sense and complete collections/teams.
Thank you for the size comparisons, very thoughtful! I dig it, I will definitely be buying this figure.
Ignore the haters. Decent figure for under $20...
@@dHuntersReviews Oh, absolutely. Price-wise, this really could hardly be any better.
Great value, better than what Mattel gave us for $20, even though I liked those also.
You’ve quickly become my favorite reviewer due to our mutual love of Batman. Another great review. Happy New Year & thanks! 🙏🏽
Thank you!
Love it!!!!! I prefer the 7 inch scale
I’m with you buddy!
I agree
Really excellent review. Thank you for the many comparisons! Looking forward to a review of the animated figures :D
It’ll be a few days, superman next, Harley Quinn next, then Batman the animated series Batman. With working a lot of hours it will be a couple days at least.
@@dHuntersReviews No worries. Keep up the awesome content! 🦇
Awesome review. Thanks for going all out with the scale/other figure lines. I was iffy on the regular versions of the characters but this seems like a more detailed version of DC Essentials. Sorta ironic that I got the DC Essentials Nightwing a few months back to scale with my NECA Batman/Superman.
I bet the DC Essentials Nightwing would fit with him pretty nicely.
Good review. I was waiting for you to try other heads on the Batman body and vice a versa. I agree a cloth wired cape would really improve it quite a lot.
I thought about it...
lol
Just found the whole wave today, love this Batman right outta the box 😁
Did you see Armored Batman or Armored Superman?
Nice figure and review man, quite complete. I guess some body parts are out of proportions. Not badat all, but it would improve in a near future.
I recommend him.
Wasn’t going to pick up the Batman in the line. Thought from the promo pics that is was pretty bad. But after watching this review, I think I’m going to buy it. Thank you for the good review. Here’s a like.
Thanks for the support! I think the figure is decent, ESPECIALLY at under $20.
How is the paint on this wave? Thanks for the early review
Each of mine had some rough paint spots, opened the best ones that I had though.
Man, looks awesome where did you find it
Target
I love the NECA Bats and Superman from the 2-packs but...I thought they were too big already for my display.... I am going for the Batman who Laughs and the rest of his crew eventually. Also I’m sure I’ll dabble in a few I just don’t have the $$$ to go all out on another line.
I'm actually loving their height. I have a lot of 7 inch figures.
I have been saying, let's give love a chance, let's give McFarlane a chance. He has a 3 year contract under this license and thanks to your honest review I am satisfied that he will improve this line. Thank you so much for your time and honesty in regards to this review and please do the animated series real soon!!!🤘🏼👏🏽
Thanks. Next is Superman, then Harley Quinn, then BTAS Batman.
I have a couple Mattel Batman sets. One is the Batcave set with a computer, the other is the Wayne Manor set. It has the 60's items. The sculpture bust that flips open to reveal the red button, and the red Batphone. Also a bookshelf and some other stuff as well. But I haven't seen the one you have. Nice. Mine is based off the 60's series line-up. I love that line. The F.Gorshin, B.Meredith, B.Ward, A.West, and J.Newmar figures are so cool. The Joker as well. They all look awesome. I also got the Batmobile from that set. One of my actual good eBay buys. The Wayne Manor and Batcave were from Toys R Us on clearance for $14.99 and they came with a Batman figure as well. So I one for the Batmobile as well as the wall diorama. It is one of my favorite sets.
I have that entire collection as well.
This is probaly one of
The Best Batman figure i have ever scene
Lot of haters, but I like him.
Great comparisons. Nice job.
Thank you, just showed what I'd want to see.
Thanks for the review. I’m really looking forward to getting mine. It’s so great they scale well with the DC essentials. I have a Wonder Woman who will be a stand in until McFarlane makes one.
I feel like they delivered.
dHunter's Reviews same here. My only nitpick is that I felt they could have a bit more variety. Four Batmen and three Supermen seemed a bit excessive, but at its a nitpick and I get why. They are the two of the biggest dc heroes. I’m looking forward to what comes next from McFarlane Toys.
Seeing as how I am mostly into the Batman related figures, I think it’s great. But I can totally understand where you’re coming from.
Superman looks awesome. Batman looks like he’s been made from
build-a-figure pieces from different manufacturers.
I don’t think Batman is quite that bad, but I do agree that Superman is more of a homerun.
Great video! Now I can make a better choice on what I should purchase.
Thank you, I showed what I would’ve wanted to see
Given recent releases like knightfall and the upcoming black and grey hush batman do you still find yourself appreciating this figure? Also how does he scale with rebirth or infinite frontier robin?
I still appreciate this guy. Knightfall is my favorite, then Hush, then this one probably. Maybe Rebirth ahead of him.
This figure looks damn good not gonna lie. Unpopular opinion I know, but I’ve been dying for a decent contemporary Batman figure for awhile.
I think he's looks good too. Not perfect, but good. ESPECIALLY at under $20.
God, your size comparison is ultimate 😵
You don’t think it was too much?
I actually like that the head is a little small because it makes his body and the shoulders look wider, but that's just me. Good review.
I don’t mind it TOO much, but 15% larger would look better, especially next to Superman.
I am not sure about that, if you look at him next to Superman his head is definitely smaller.
Wait the there's to different fortnight figure lines?! I was wondering why that white suit guy was so small, I just got to get the right one for my custom Luthor and Bruce Wayne!
Jazwares and McFarlane
Do you know when the second lunch from McFarlane toys will be
I don’t know for certain, I heard they are doing one per quarter of the year, but that is hearsay.
Your review was so even keel just enough enthuse and energy I dislike the childish reviewers and negativity keep it being a Pro... like TH-camr and pro fan. Looking forward to seeing you review other McFarlane. I Sub to your channel. Keep it coming. Keep making Vids
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and support. I try to do thorough reviews and hit all of the topics that I would want addressed and try to make it so there will be no questions after watching my review.
Honestly, that Diamond Select Bruce would be good to use as a plain clothes Damian, next to this Batman.
I have a plain clothes Damian custom already. You can see him in my Christmas video.
Wow that neca Batman blows this one out of the water I’m glad I got the neca one I’m good for awhile with Batman figures
Great value from McFarlane for under $20.
The fact that the comic Batman and comic Superman scale terribly together(Supermans head is much larger, they both have tiny legs, Supes doesnt even have double joint elbows and for some reason they have different ab joint locations) is just awful. Its like both figures were designed by two different people working seperately from each other.
I will agree that Batman’s head is too small, but I don’t think the figures look that bad together.
Jay-C did an interview with Todd
What is
are your favorite Batman figures? You mentioned this figure was in the top three what are the other two?
Just a rough estimate. Neca 1989 is great. Mezco TDKR and Mezco Batman vs Superman are nice also
I appreciate all the size comparisons.
It's what I do.
They can make any scale they want its his line now, but I'll agree people would have been more forgiving if this was a 6 inch line. We been wanting a 6 inch line since DC UC classics went away
DC UC was always 6.5 inches, a scale of its own. I am happy that they will work with DC collectibles and DC direct figures. Two lines, same scale, should’ve been this way from the beginning.
Where did you get that background I love it!
DC Direct Batman The Animated Series Batcave
Looks like it could've been a the batman 2004 figure but they made this one horribly wrong
He has a very special place in my heart. He’s my main Batman usually.
9:01 How did you get that AWESOME diorama?!
DC Collectibles Batman the animated series bat cave
I really miss the Four Horsmen Batman figures from 17:09... those are the best $20 Batman figures as far as sculpt Mattel ever produced.
Yeah, they were exceptional for their time.
I just bought that 6 inch Batman Mattel new subscriber great video
Which Mattel one? This one is McFarlane.
@@dHuntersReviews I have the Batman 89 that you used in size comparison
The Mattel Toybiz version?
@@dHuntersReviews yes indeed just picked it up at Target in my area I'm be looking for the Mcfarlane version I have preordered the Hellbat armor
Amazon has him for preorder with a 1/17 release date
GREAT REVIEW! DAMN GOES TO SHOW HOW GREAT NECAS BATMAN IS!
Agreed, heh.
Love the figure all except for the scaling- but not like ?? Other line scaling??
The in-line scaling seems pretty dang off, it doesn’t seem to have much cohesion.
Batmans head is WAY smaller than Superman’s, and Harley isn’t scaled even REMOTELY accurate to either of them. I was really looking forward to the batgirl figure but now I’m super nervous seeing how they’re ALL literally 7 inches and not accurately scaled among each other.
Yeah, there are some inconsistencies.
TBH this is the only figure I didn't really like among the rest of this wave, but I cant wait for that AC 1000 Superman, nightwing and batgirl. I hope Mcfarlane soon releases characters as Deathstroke, Firestorm, Blue beetle and Booster gold, or Dr. fate, all in comic versions.
Oh yeah, a McFarlane Deathstroke would be amazing! I want to see them do Clayface!
@@dHuntersReviews yeah dude, I wouldn't mind if it comes as a deluxe figure, a bit more expenssive but with many weapons and alt head of Slade. And yes, clayface would be awesome!
Sounds great, I want Man-Bat, Clayface, Killer Croc, all of the weird ones!
Very cool review looking forward to new era of McFarlane
Thank you and agreed. It seems like either you love these or you hate these.
21:57 Anyone up for some Royal Flush Gang figures? DC Comics are ya listening?
Please!
The Wildcard Fortnite figure works great for some Flush Gang army building.
Not comic accurate, but they are some of the best figures from 2019 if you ask me.
Way better than anything Mattel made and looks better than essentials as well
I agree, although I like Mattel and DC Essentials as well. I think this line will be better than both of them once it takes off.
Great review! I’ll pick him up but not all of them
I like him.
very good figures toy, from nicaragua thank you dHunter Reviews
You’re welcome!
You didn’t compare this figure next to the Mattel colossal T-Rex so how am I supposed to know if I should by this Batman???
I am sorry, I will do more comparisons next time.
=)
The head is freakin' tiny. Really not sold on these. 7" scale really bugs me but aside from that the sculpt is just really too soft.
I personally like the 7 inch scale, but understand that many people do not. Head is too small, but as a first offering I’m quite pleased.
Couldn't help but think of the royal flush gang...with those fortnite figures
That’s what I use them for.
Which one is that Batman on the right end of the Matel dc universe classics ?
Mattel Batman Unlimited Batman I believe.
Why give Batman very nice butterfly shoulders then drape a hard plastic cape over them to restrict most of the range of moment. Soft goods would have knocked it out the park.
Yeah, that part sucks. I can't wait to see someone put a cloth cape on him.
I removed the pieces for the butterfly joint for a better arms down pose
It didn't leave big gaping holes?
@@dHuntersReviews well there not too bad and you don’t notice it too much, it gives him a more natural stance
It seemed the later Mattel figures went to a 6.5 inch scale. It was really noticeable with Shazam and Aquaman movie figures.
They’ve been like 6.4 since DCUC, they got up to like 6.7 at the end.
You must have the world record for saying "action figure" in a review 😂
Lol
I’ll try to switch it up some
Great review my friend...and. yes..IT. IS. A. MUST....THAT CAPE. . HAS TO. GO....👎👎👎👎👎
As long. As. You. Can
Remove that cape..without destroying it..it. HAS. Got. To. Go...and I will. Replace it. With a cloth cape....👍👍👍👍...what. do. You say MY FRIEND..Will be waiting on your response...????
I have seen some really nice customized versions with cloth capes and a better head.
Im interested in that bulky animated series looking Batman figure.. what figure is that?
Doing comic Superman next, then Harley Quinn, and THEN the BTAS Batman.
Best scale compare ever!!
Yessir
Was the first McFarlane DC Multiverse review on TH-cam!
You are a good man. I wish you a happy life. You are truly lucky to have all these toys
Thank you...
Why is it so hard not to put interchangeable hands on a figure especially Batman and Spider-Man
Some of these McFarlane figures came with hands, some did not. Batman should've.
@@dHuntersReviews oh ok yeah I agree batman should at least some fists cause he's a crime-fighter
Seems to me like Batman and Superman do not look proportionately well together.
I don’t think it’s too bad.
It's a pass. The body is far from normal. Even though it's a fictional character, McFarlane should be careful when building bodies for these figures. Anatomically speaking, even for batman, this is not good at all. Just look at his upper body
I think it’s good for a first offering. Hoping to see them improve over time.
Idk man, this figure just looks bad to me. Its proportions are so wack, his torso is huge compared to his thinner arms, his legs are lacking some muscle details, dudes got a pinhead. He reminds me of the Beware the Batman design of the character in terms of his look, and doesn’t remind me of Jim Lee’s Batman which is what it seems like he should be based on.
He isn't perfect, but I'm fairly pleased, especially at the under $20 price point.
Well, he looks better than Mattel line... but considering I have a bunch of DC Mafex and Mezco at 6" scale, the 7" scale really kills it for me.
Yeah...I wish everything was in scale with each other...unfortunately, that is not the world we live in.
Great review
Thank you sir.
So it is possible to put a custom cape. Awesome
Without a doubt.
@@dHuntersReviews Awesome. Cant wait to get these. I was on the fence on that Batman but it looks a lot better than I thought it would.
I feel the exact same way.
I got all those same awesome figures already I bought them last year
Me too
Another great review they never get old😃
Thanks for the support man!
Spin Master also has the license
Yeah, but they are only making 4 inch and 12 inch figures, I did a review on one of their packs with clay face already.
Where did you get the diorama?
DC Collectibles Batman the animated series play set
Comic & armoured ones, I’ll get, but I think I’ll skip the rest
I am all in for the bat related characters.
I kinda like the softer sculpt, looks like a guy in an outfit, as opposed to looking like a naked, shredded dude painted gray.
I think it is quite acceptable, especially for the price point of $19, Neca figures are usually $30, MacFarlane Fortnite figures are $25, so they did a great job of keeping this line affordable.
I still don't get the sort of hate of this line. It's great!
My thoughts exactly, I understand everyone wanting them to be 6.5 inches like Mattel, but I’m happy with what we have.
Where i can find that Batcave ?
It is the DC collectibles Batman the animated series bat cave play set
Harley...looks huge next to Batman.
She does, I look forward to going over her in depth and seeing how she fits in.
Do you think you can do a review of a flash action figure?
There is not McFarlane Flash yet. JLU version is rumored for series 2. Unless you mean another one...?
It amazing but does it beat the dc superheroes s3 select sculpt batman sculpt no articulation yes
That is one of the few Mattel Batman figures that I do not have. The articulation is more, but perhaps the sculpt is not… It’s all people’s opinions
He just looks nothing like the artwork he's based on... His proportions just make me frustrated. His head is tiny and his torso especially his chest is freaking huge. It's cool that he has more articulation but he just looks off. I just wish his cape didn't cover his shoulders. It hinders the butterfly joints making them kind of pointless. K wanna like this new line of figures like I'm trying but he just looks super sub par and goofy.
He is far from perfect, but as far as a first offering goes, I am fairly pleased.
No Batman should come without fist
I know, right...
visually looks OK, just can't eff with 7 inch scale....
I’m digging the scale, but I have a lot of action figure lines that scale up with it.
For a Macfarlane figure... I found this not detail enough. Compared to the Spawn...but still I want this he he
Yeah, it’s not perfect, but I like it.
It really bothers me that they went and replaced a 6 inch line with a 7 inch one.
They were 6.5 inches before in DCUC, more like 6.7 inches in Multiverse. I'm really happy that we now have 2 companies (DC Collectibles and McFarlane) releasing figures that scale up with each other.
This figure is not good at all.. this whole line looks underwhelming
The animated figures are the ones that I don’t think look right, I’m OK with the comic figures so far. Not perfect but I am enjoying them.
Wahhhh...go buy pops
Mr.SmithGNR Smith Pops??🤣. I rather just buy good figures
Don’t like pops at all
I’m with you here no pops
