albatman22 yeah, its pretty cool. Even if its shiny or matte black on a figure still looks awesome. And same here. She's my favorite character second would be robin honestly
_ Raven _ well I’m saying in general the design of the bat suit was realistic in terms of being modern. Being equipped with all that gear, the armor. I think that’s what a real life Batman should look like.
PauhovXiong i get what you mean now. Yeah it most definitely is the most realistic looking suit. Of course there's more badass in the games and comics but, however this one still holds up on looking the most modern and coolest looking in my opinion.
Just got mine a couple days ago and I agree it's a hell of a figure and I do enjoy it more than the figuarts...the ankles and head aren't an issue for me, keep up the great work man 🤘🏼
yes, I'm no longer alone in thinking the Mafex line has become superior to S.H. Figuarts (not saying SHF can't produce anything good anymore, but if both Mafex and SHF make the same character, the Mafex version tends to be better, especially in terms of sculpted and painted detail)
well I think that pretty much all the characters that both companies did, have the better looking alternative with Mafex (so that pretty much includes all characters across all franchises) Wonder Woman (Mafex) definitely has the most accurate body sculpt and paint apps in my opinion, and none of the 6" figures truly capture Gal Gadot's likeness (out of the box) I have indeed seen some people do an amazing job on customizing the SHF figure to look more like Gal Gadot, but that still doesn't make the body sculpt more accurate (and usually the sculpt is harder to fix than the paint job)
SkyGuy501 And that is probably why the Mafex stuff is becoming more expensive than Figuarts (judging by Big Bad Toy Store listings). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't re-call seeing anything from that Mafex being listed in the $95 - $100 range (pre-order) like what I'm seeing today.
you are correct about Padme, but she hasn't been done by Mafex yet. And yes, I don't really see Mafex doing a Padme figure, and if they do, I don't think the Mafex version would be better, but it is possible. Harley Quinn indeed is one of the exceptions to the rule, but even with Harley, Mafex has some detail that doesn't exist on the SHF version that is accurate to the on-screen appearance of Harley. These Mafex figures that easily break are mostly a thing from the past, and SHF also tends to have their figure with defects every once in a while. But for a more obvious and recent comparison. the Spider-Man Homecoming figure by Mafex almost doesn't compare to the SHF version. SHF just really dropped the ball on this one (and continues to drop it with the Iron Spider figure, since they have the same basis). SHF tends to make their figures stylized, while Mafex tries to capture the most accurate look they can achieve and that is also the look I'm looking for in a figure.
After 10 years, finally the TDK Bats we deserved & needed! Mine have zero QC issues with & puts the Figuarts version to shame. Mafex is on fire with these Nolan trilogy figures & I couldn’t be more happier!
I'm with you man. It's weird to think I wasn't interested in anything Nolan before these but they're so good that I NEED more. The power of good toys...
My last two MAFEX ( Darth Vader Rogue One n' Spider - Man Homecoming ) were brilliant . I am anxiously awaiting both John Wick n' Robocop but with the ever increasing price of MAFEX action figures I may have to reevaluate some other upcoming preorders .
Devon Palmer SHF I think is the way to go. As you can see the figure has a lot of flaws. This company appears to be good but a couple years down the line it starts breaking down. And in this video you can already see all the QC flaws right out of the box. The materials they use are not top-of-the-line the feel of the plastic is close to model kit plastic. Stay away.
Devon Palmer, I own one of these and I really thing its the best TDK figure in that scale there is, because the video cant really make justice for the figure, its pretty much Bale in the flesh.
Let me just say I love your reviews you look for, and at things like I do. I also love the Robo don't know, good to see a collector that's does the same thing I do.
Haha, yeah, I may not know a property but I like good looking toys. A lot of the time a good figure will make me look deeper into a franchise. Thanks man!
Mafex is seeming to get better with every figure they make, improvements all over the damn place! And sadly, SH is seeming to cut more corners and have kinda lack luster releases, ie Infinity War Cap. I got my Batman today and I’m throughly impressed with him, last week I finally got the Rogue One Vader from your recommending him, definitely my new main display Vader!
This looks a lot better than the SHF one (which I have and am very happy with). I think I want to get this one, but I’m really worried about the QC issues.
Honestly, I haven't had any huge QC issues with MAFEX in a while. Sure, loose joint here and there, but I get that with all the major companies and toy lines.
Nice Review Robo, Im still waiting on mine, seeing your review I'll probably end up displaying my Figuarts Batman in the batpod (now I gotta get the batpod) and this one next to the rest of the figures from this line, Im still waiting to see how the SHF Selina Kyle ends up (maybe that one fits a little bit better heightweise with the rest of the mafex ones). Now all we need is Gordon and Alfred (Rachel, Thalia and Blake/Robin I could do without though I'd probably end up buying them if they make them :P)
I love this figure, I really do. That said I am leaving Mafex alone for awhile. My version 3.0 Batman came with a very loose left arm joint. It comes off quite easily. At this point I just krazy glued it and posed him on the shelf. Mafex really needs to work on their QC issues. 😤
I have Batman TDK ver.1, 2 TDK ver.2.... Should i buy it again for ver.3..? I don't know, beside the headsculpt, removable cape and hinge on shoulder pad. they seem to be just the same by it's look.
That's where I kind of lucked out, having never picked up 1.0 and 2.0. I get to jump directly to this one. But then I can't compre either, so I don't know how much they differ.
The Fwoosh yes but since i collect TDK figures , i think i have to buy it again. I feel uneasy if I don’t complete my collection .Now i know how Star Wars collectors feel about buying same figure over and over again for infinite time. Anyway, i think you should buy 2 batman figures. One for basic pose, the other one for mafex batpod. Mafex Batpod is awesome.
I would absolutely love for action figures in this price range to come with alternate capes ... basically with n' without wires ... maybe different cape material as well .
Been waiting for this review. Nice look at the figure, though I wish the comparisons between the figuarts one and this one was more in depth. However I like the aesthetics of this figure compare to the figuarts one. Definetly be picking this one up soon in the future.
I bought the batman begins Mafex Batman based solely on your review and I love it and now thanks to you my kid won't be able to go to college. Just kidding good review!
Well, at least I now know that Mafex won't ever change. I bought Ver 1.0 and 2.0 and the damn joints popped out with every slight touch you could muster. I had hoped they would've changed that crap.
Be caredul with the hands that are tighter and harder to out on. I was switching hands on my Homecoming figure from Mafex and the wrist peg snapped off. Great review by the way!
I want mafex Jango Fett. And a scout trooper. Man that would be something. And snow trooper too. To be perfectly honest, I am not surprised you like mafex more. Seems like figuarts is stuck at the same level all the time, and its not like they have reached perfection. Some of their figures leave quite a bit to be desired. Quality is usually solid, but I sometimes cannot help but wish for more. MAfex on the other hand can be horrible, but they can dish out some really super sculpts. For now my main gripe, at least with SW figures, would be that they attach shoulder pads to the arms. Thats a critical flaw to me and a definite dealbreaker. Hope they fix it. And I really want a scout trooper. We wont get another one from figuarts, and their version is just mediocre, with too big visor and rather weird overall "skeleton"
Picked up Gus yesterday (love him because of you Robo)Im w/ you about liking Mafex more then Bandai, though idk why maybe cuz their stuff doesnt seem so rushed I guess.... also good for Bob, now him an his wife can put their kid into a good school
I got this one in China couple of days earlier than you. I have to say the form and shape of this batman ver. 3.0 is the best one in 6 inch figures. But I still love the SHfiguarts batman because it's articulation is more smooth and comfortable.
Does the nail polish trick work to thicken up the peg on the neck also? Cause mine is a bit wiggly? Radial review my dude! Im not sure if i should wait for the figuarts selena kyle or get the 2.0? Mafex has been badass really steppin up their game ughhhh the choices lol
That should work there, if it's the ball joint that's loose. And honestly, I'm completely happy with the MAFEX 2.0 Selina, have no regrets skipping the SHF.
@@TheFwoosh I mean I have this figure as gift recently. When I rotate it's left leg forward, I hear a plastic clenching noise the noise you hear when you rotate certain parts of action figure
That's what I meant about missteps with her face. Tone is off, Medicom trying to get a handle on that face tech. Older figures were like that too. But the printing itself is fairly nice.
Cheers Robo, I've been waiting for this one to drop to see which one I should pick up and it looks like this is probably the one. Is it me or do the shoulder pads look a bit big, they're not deal breakers, but look a bit chunky? Yeah, I hadn;t noticed that Mafex haven't pushed any Solo figs, though when did the R1 figs come out, it must be 6 months+ after the movie, if so, maybe they're still in the design stage?
Hopefully. I'd REALLY like to see what Medicom could do with a Chewbacca. And the shoulder pads are just barely bigger than the SHF, just angled forward a bit more.
I know it says it will be releasing this June but does anyone know when this Batman will release in bigbad toy store? I ordered the joker and him and I’m eagerly awaiting them both!!!!! Great video Now it says it’s coming out in July!! What the heck?! Fwoosh, where did you order your Batman?
I wish that eventually MAFEX will tackle the Tim Burton Batman cast from both the 89 and Batman Returns movie especially if they're for Both Batman's 80th anniversary and the 89 movie's 30th anniversary. That would be quite arrest for people who grew up with both films.
So you people who immediately throw out your boxes... what do you do with all those accessories? imo you already need a box to store everything, and the figure comes with a box that fits everything just fine which also happens to help you retain resale value if you keep it. Don't really see the point of tossing the perfectly good box to store your figure or accessories in a whole different box.
Tremain Accessories can fit just fine in a plastic baggie, the boxes do take up a lot of space. I actually don’t throw them away for import figs but I can see why someone would
1. That's a big ol' box just to hold accessories. I have hobby and tackle boxes full of accessories that take up waaaay less room than stacks and stacks of boxes. 2. I've never resold anything and don't care about value. I've got Hot Toys collecting dust and I've used "rare" Legends for custom fodder. It throws me sometimes when I'm told how hard to get something is, like opening my extra SWBS Bossk, but it's still going to be turned into a BoShek one day. I want the plastic and the characters. Even when I don't like a figure it just gets tossed in a bin. I'll figure something out for it someday.
I have a like...bead organizer. Essentially a flat plastic box with decent sized boxes for up to 24 diff sets of stuff. I dobt throw out my boxes though
I put everything in baggies, and put those in plastic boxes. The plastic boxes are all the same size, so they can fit together, unlike figure packaging. And I have no intention of selling most things. Using the packaging would take up too much room. I only keep Mezco boxes. And for those, I remove all the plastic inside and keep baggies of figures in there.
Nice, glad I waited for this one, I'll definitely display this with the sonar head. Also is it just me or do you seem chipper? Same with the recent Weekly vid, you seem pretty chill and happy recently. I'll admit it gives off a comfy atmosphere to your vids. :)
This suit is the exact same in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. After Bruce escapes The Pit, he goes back to Gotham to his temporary Batcave and gets this suit.
I'd buy the hell out of an Alfred, although as far as the display goes, I guess he'd have to go with Krennic, Thrawn, and Tarkin. And I'm still crossing my fingers for Mafex to do Palpatine and TFA Luke.
I noticed this thing about you, when a mafex figure does some things right you tend to cover all of the other issues even though they are pretty bad.I mean look at that cowl and shoulder pads.They are HUGE and really throw of the whole look of the figure.
I pointed out the cowl and I've seen people comment on the shoulder pads but they aren't that much bigger than the SHF or the actual suit, just angled forward a bit because of how they are mounted.
The shoulder pads of the Mafex 3.0 aren't that much bigger compared to the figuarts one. I like the two figures but can't help to get angry with the Figuarts one bcause of that cape...
Well I'll take your word for it but even then I still can't bring myself to buy this.It really doesnt look like a definite improvement over the shf one considering the prices.
I looked on amazon and the reviews were bad so for me I’m wondering how good yours was so I k ow if I should take the chance I have the 2.0 joker and I want a companion piece, which is your favorite 1/12 Batman figure
Ugh I am so sick of Mafex/Figuarts only ever doing the same movie figures over and over again with updated sculpts and accessories. Would it kill them to take a chance and do more comic accurate figures? I would LOVE to see them do like a Thomas Wayne Batman, or If they did like Hush/Nightwing. I dunno, great review as always!
It may be limitations to the license. They may be only allowed to make movie characters because Mattel or DCC has the rights for comic characters in that scale.
Yeah thats a fair point . . . I just wish that we could see some of that Mafex/Figuarts articulation and quality applied towards something OTHER than the movies Dx
Oh, I hear ya. And you know what, I'm a liar. It may be a new development with the license but I forgot all about Medicom announcing a MAFEX Gwenpool and Spider-Man. So at least they are starting to get some comic figures out there.
These figures are really nice for the size and great because they complete out the line with all these accessories, but I feel they’re ridiculously overpriced. I think hot toys actually give the accessories in one figure and are actually more bang for your buck due to size and detail
In general the dark knight batman outift was by far my favorite batman outfit ever
albatman22 yeah, its pretty cool. Even if its shiny or matte black on a figure still looks awesome. And same here. She's my favorite character second would be robin honestly
Agreed. I think it’s a more realistic take on the bat suit.
PauhovXiong the matte or shiny for the figures?
_ Raven _ well I’m saying in general the design of the bat suit was realistic in terms of being modern. Being equipped with all that gear, the armor. I think that’s what a real life Batman should look like.
PauhovXiong i get what you mean now. Yeah it most definitely is the most realistic looking suit. Of course there's more badass in the games and comics but, however this one still holds up on looking the most modern and coolest looking in my opinion.
When I was watching solo, during the train scene when the first range trooper got shot down, I was like "oh no, poor Gus"
Man Mafex has been killing it lately. Incredible figure!
Just got mine a couple days ago and I agree it's a hell of a figure and I do enjoy it more than the figuarts...the ankles and head aren't an issue for me, keep up the great work man 🤘🏼
Haha, always my luck with the QC issues.
The Fwoosh if it wasn't for bad luck..... So we're you able to get some sdcc neca turtles today for the 60seconds they were available? I sure didn't
My bad luck sended at QC issues because I actually got in an scored a dio set of the Turtles. It was a tence 30 seconds but I came out happy as hell!
The Fwoosh oh hell yeah! Couldn't have happened to a better person....I mean besides myself 😜 just goofing man, congrats
yes, I'm no longer alone in thinking the Mafex line has become superior to S.H. Figuarts (not saying SHF can't produce anything good anymore, but if both Mafex and SHF make the same character, the Mafex version tends to be better, especially in terms of sculpted and painted detail)

I’ve noticed that a lot too. Most recently with Homecoming Spider-Man and Justice League Flash.

Mafex took 3 tries to make this figure. Figuarts almost nailed it with 1 try. That’s gotta be something
Saw this at the store the other day. My wallet screamed so I went home.
What store were you at?
Yeah - where the hell do YOU live where you're that lucky?
dangernoodle my local comic shop sells import figures when ever i drop by i walk out with my wallet empty
Actually, I live in Japan.
hardy james yeah man there no joke but they did step it up with this batman it honestly to me looks like a mini dark knight hot toys its really good
Finally someone get in hand of this figure on youtube. Great review man!
The best dark knight to date!! A must get!
Not better than the HOT TOYS version though
HamtarOso that’s not a fair comparison
After 10 years, finally the TDK Bats we deserved & needed! Mine have zero QC issues with & puts the Figuarts version to shame. Mafex is on fire with these Nolan trilogy figures & I couldn’t be more happier!
I'm with you man. It's weird to think I wasn't interested in anything Nolan before these but they're so good that I NEED more. The power of good toys...
This was my first mafex figure and the first video i met you☺☺
oh my, your reviews always crack me up. The ebst toy related channel on the whole yt, no doubt.
Awesome review. Love the beginning
My last two MAFEX ( Darth Vader Rogue One n' Spider - Man Homecoming ) were brilliant . I am anxiously awaiting both John Wick n' Robocop but with the ever increasing price of MAFEX action figures I may have to reevaluate some other upcoming preorders .
I'm so glad to hear Bob is doing well.
Yeah, we were worried about him for a while.
Wow nice review! And nice photoshoots you got there!
Btw I have a tip for the figuarts cape. Put the cape under the shoulder pads and it looks much more natural.
Yes! I’m glad someone else figured this out
Sadly I'm not Wearing Hockey Pads
I always love the intros.
I think your intros get better every time
Awesome Review and awesome figure!
Thank you for reviewing this figure. Needed to see if it was worth it, trying to get a Batman from every film.
Devon Palmer SHF I think is the way to go. As you can see the figure has a lot of flaws. This company appears to be good but a couple years down the line it starts breaking down. And in this video you can already see all the QC flaws right out of the box. The materials they use are not top-of-the-line the feel of the plastic is close to model kit plastic. Stay away.
Devon Palmer, I own one of these and I really thing its the best TDK figure in that scale there is, because the video cant really make justice for the figure, its pretty much Bale in the flesh.
Do you know if there's a Keaton Batman with this articulation
Awesome review man!
Let me just say I love your reviews you look for, and at things like I do. I also love the Robo don't know, good to see a collector that's does the same thing I do.
Haha, yeah, I may not know a property but I like good looking toys. A lot of the time a good figure will make me look deeper into a franchise. Thanks man!
Awsome Action Figure review i am Getting Package 2 This Month
I love how in the size comparison he goes from saying muh-fex to mae-fex to maw-fex 😂
I'm not a fan of this costume AT ALL but I'm absolutely loving what I'm seeing here!
Mafex is seeming to get better with every figure they make, improvements all over the damn place! And sadly, SH is seeming to cut more corners and have kinda lack luster releases, ie Infinity War Cap.
I got my Batman today and I’m throughly impressed with him, last week I finally got the Rogue One Vader from your recommending him, definitely my new main display Vader!
Nice! Yeah, that Vader isn't perfect but none of them are, really. I just love that one the most though. The helmet is awesome.
This looks a lot better than the SHF one (which I have and am very happy with). I think I want to get this one, but I’m really worried about the QC issues.
Honestly, I haven't had any huge QC issues with MAFEX in a while. Sure, loose joint here and there, but I get that with all the major companies and toy lines.
I’m happy with my SHF
This figure is back in stock on BBTS for retail price
Nice Review Robo, Im still waiting on mine, seeing your review I'll probably end up displaying my Figuarts Batman in the batpod (now I gotta get the batpod) and this one next to the rest of the figures from this line, Im still waiting to see how the SHF Selina Kyle ends up (maybe that one fits a little bit better heightweise with the rest of the mafex ones). Now all we need is Gordon and Alfred (Rachel, Thalia and Blake/Robin I could do without though I'd probably end up buying them if they make them :P)
I keep thinking I need the Batpod but then I remember the stack of Star Wars ships I don't even have on display because of room.
Totally love this line I have them all including the Mafex batpod 😁
I love this figure, I really do. That said I am leaving Mafex alone for awhile. My version 3.0 Batman came with a very loose left arm joint. It comes off quite easily. At this point I just krazy glued it and posed him on the shelf. Mafex really needs to work on their QC issues. 😤
My version 1 broke, I need this work of art
we definitely need a dark knight 4.0
I have Batman TDK ver.1, 2 TDK ver.2.... Should i buy it again for ver.3..? I don't know, beside the headsculpt, removable cape and hinge on shoulder pad. they seem to be just the same by it's look.
That's where I kind of lucked out, having never picked up 1.0 and 2.0. I get to jump directly to this one. But then I can't compre either, so I don't know how much they differ.
The Fwoosh yes but since i collect TDK figures , i think i have to buy it again. I feel uneasy if I don’t complete my collection .Now i know how Star Wars collectors feel about buying same figure over and over again for infinite time.
Anyway, i think you should buy 2 batman figures. One for basic pose, the other one for mafex batpod. Mafex Batpod is awesome.
Personally, I opted for the Figuarts. I just feel like the head on the Mafex is a little large and sits a little low. But they’re very comparable
I would absolutely love for action figures in this price range to come with alternate capes ... basically with n' without wires ... maybe different cape material as well .
I had a hard time choosing whether i buy the Mafex or SH figuarts, any suggestions?
I'd go MAFEX.
Excellent review! Mines on the way from Amiami, any day now.
Been waiting for this review. Nice look at the figure, though I wish the comparisons between the figuarts one and this one was more in depth. However I like the aesthetics of this figure compare to the figuarts one. Definetly be picking this one up soon in the future.
I think it looks more like a dude in a suit than the SHF. Both are fine figures but I gotta give the edge to the MAFEX.
I wish I bought this when it came out. I cant find any online.....
I bought the batman begins Mafex Batman based solely on your review and I love it and now thanks to you my kid won't be able to go to college. Just kidding good review!
Mario Fontana XDD
May I please have your whole Nolan trilogy
Well, at least I now know that Mafex won't ever change. I bought Ver 1.0 and 2.0 and the damn joints popped out with every slight touch you could muster. I had hoped they would've changed that crap.
Those are old figures. Mafex's QC is far better now
Be caredul with the hands that are tighter and harder to out on. I was switching hands on my Homecoming figure from Mafex and the wrist peg snapped off. Great review by the way!
Yeah, I haven't broken one yet, but I can see how it can happen. I'm actually waiting for it to happen. It will, eventually.
I want mafex Jango Fett. And a scout trooper. Man that would be something. And snow trooper too. To be perfectly honest, I am not surprised you like mafex more. Seems like figuarts is stuck at the same level all the time, and its not like they have reached perfection. Some of their figures leave quite a bit to be desired.

And I really want a scout trooper. We wont get another one from figuarts, and their version is just mediocre, with too big visor and rather weird overall "skeleton"
Seriously, best sign off ever
Picked up Gus yesterday (love him because of you Robo)Im w/ you about liking Mafex more then Bandai, though idk why maybe cuz their stuff doesnt seem so rushed I guess.... also good for Bob, now him an his wife can put their kid into a good school
Details on the costume for this mafex figure is good, but the sturdiness and headsculpts of the shf is still superior for me tbh
I got this one in China couple of days earlier than you. I have to say the form and shape of this batman ver. 3.0 is the best one in 6 inch figures. But I still love the SHfiguarts batman because it's articulation is more smooth and comfortable.
I can't remember the last figuarts I bought. Mafex FTW.
Ik im late but can you swap the heads with the movie masters figure
Nice intro Robo.
Robo wheres your oldman Luke review from Figuarts? Im dying to see that one!
Mine had to make a pitstop, I should have it today. Hopefully.
I have a MAFEX Wonder Woman on pre order. I hope it's as good!
Can the cape be draped over the shoulders?
Really nice batman
Does the nail polish trick work to thicken up the peg on the neck also? Cause mine is a bit wiggly? Radial review my dude! Im not sure if i should wait for the figuarts selena kyle or get the 2.0? Mafex has been badass really steppin up their game ughhhh the choices lol
That should work there, if it's the ball joint that's loose. And honestly, I'm completely happy with the MAFEX 2.0 Selina, have no regrets skipping the SHF.
I gave up on Mafex Bale Batman figures since the 2.0 but this 3.0 does look pretty good!!!!!
I have a question about the figure do you hear mechanic sound on his left foot when you rotate forward
Hmm, not that I can tell.
@@TheFwoosh I mean I have this figure as gift recently. When I rotate it's left leg forward, I hear a plastic clenching noise the noise you hear when you rotate certain parts of action figure
Does anybody know where I can get it but cheap than it is now
I got this figure for Christmas a few years ago and I ended up returning it. I thought it was just my figure that was really loose but I guess not
Nice character impressions . I thought it was really them.
Which figure do you think scales better with Mezco, Mafex Batman 3.0 or S.H. Figuarts The Dark Knight?
Honestly, both the MAFEX 3.0 and SHF are exactly the same size. MAFEX might look slightly better with the line though.
right now mafex is my favorite even more than mezco
Just by looking at this figure I really gotta get it now since it looks that good dang it Robo why you gotta make me want more figures lol
Why is the mafex Catwoman's face so yellow?
That's what I meant about missteps with her face. Tone is off, Medicom trying to get a handle on that face tech. Older figures were like that too. But the printing itself is fairly nice.
Cheers Robo, I've been waiting for this one to drop to see which one I should pick up and it looks like this is probably the one. Is it me or do the shoulder pads look a bit big, they're not deal breakers, but look a bit chunky?
Yeah, I hadn;t noticed that Mafex haven't pushed any Solo figs, though when did the R1 figs come out, it must be 6 months+ after the movie, if so, maybe they're still in the design stage?
Hopefully. I'd REALLY like to see what Medicom could do with a Chewbacca. And the shoulder pads are just barely bigger than the SHF, just angled forward a bit more.
The Fwoosh be interesting to see how old man Luke fares in your review too...?
I haven't checked the mail box today but it should be there. I have a feeling I'll like it. Big surprise there, haha.
Can you exchange heads between the mafex and shf figs?
Serious question
No, the SHF head has the dumbbell joint permanently sunk into the skull, the MAFEX dumbbell is attached in the neck.
I know it says it will be releasing this June but does anyone know when this Batman will release in bigbad toy store? I ordered the joker and him and I’m eagerly awaiting them both!!!!! Great video
Now it says it’s coming out in July!! What the heck?!
Fwoosh, where did you order your Batman?
I wish that eventually MAFEX will tackle the Tim Burton Batman cast from both the 89 and Batman Returns movie especially if they're for Both Batman's 80th anniversary and the 89 movie's 30th anniversary. That would be quite arrest for people who grew up with both films.
Oh man, that would be amazing, I never thought of that!
i need this and the joker. Hope I can find them cheap...
So you people who immediately throw out your boxes... what do you do with all those accessories? imo you already need a box to store everything, and the figure comes with a box that fits everything just fine which also happens to help you retain resale value if you keep it. Don't really see the point of tossing the perfectly good box to store your figure or accessories in a whole different box.

Accessories can fit just fine in a plastic baggie, the boxes do take up a lot of space. I actually don’t throw them away for import figs but I can see why someone would
Tremain Why are you assuming that people care about re-sale value? Sure, some do. But others have no intention of selling their collections.
1. That's a big ol' box just to hold accessories. I have hobby and tackle boxes full of accessories that take up waaaay less room than stacks and stacks of boxes. 2. I've never resold anything and don't care about value. I've got Hot Toys collecting dust and I've used "rare" Legends for custom fodder. It throws me sometimes when I'm told how hard to get something is, like opening my extra SWBS Bossk, but it's still going to be turned into a BoShek one day. I want the plastic and the characters. Even when I don't like a figure it just gets tossed in a bin. I'll figure something out for it someday.
I have a like...bead organizer. Essentially a flat plastic box with decent sized boxes for up to 24 diff sets of stuff. I dobt throw out my boxes though
I put everything in baggies, and put those in plastic boxes. The plastic boxes are all the same size, so they can fit together, unlike figure packaging. And I have no intention of selling most things. Using the packaging would take up too much room. I only keep Mezco boxes. And for those, I remove all the plastic inside and keep baggies of figures in there.
Those pictures at the end were very nice man just need some dios.
Nice, glad I waited for this one, I'll definitely display this with the sonar head. Also is it just me or do you seem chipper? Same with the recent Weekly vid, you seem pretty chill and happy recently. I'll admit it gives off a comfy atmosphere to your vids. :)
More and more comfortable with the camera, I guess, haha.
It’s 300 dollars right now and I’m gonna cry
Bob as in the 1989 movie?
Darth Alba
I know who Bob is, I was just wondering if that was the Bob Robo was referring too
Darth Alba
Very True! One of my favorite scenes from the movie.
What About Bob? Sure he may be a bit neurotic...but he's not crazy.
This looks like a scaled down hot toys batman
This suit is the exact same in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. After Bruce escapes The Pit, he goes back to Gotham to his temporary Batcave and gets this suit.
I'd buy the hell out of an Alfred, although as far as the display goes, I guess he'd have to go with Krennic, Thrawn, and Tarkin. And I'm still crossing my fingers for Mafex to do Palpatine and TFA Luke.
And a Chewbacca! I'd like to see how they'd do him.
When will the articulated icons purchased through the shop be shipping?
Not sure, that's being handled by a third party now.
That opening was hilarious. Do Gus and Bob hangout? Lol
Naw, Gus is intimidated by people with "jobs" haha. Cuts into his drinking time.
Nice review! Which one is better between mafex 3.0 and shf? It is too hard to select one..
I noticed this thing about you, when a mafex figure does some things right you tend to cover all of the other issues even though they are pretty bad.I mean look at that cowl and shoulder pads.They are HUGE and really throw of the whole look of the figure.
I pointed out the cowl and I've seen people comment on the shoulder pads but they aren't that much bigger than the SHF or the actual suit, just angled forward a bit because of how they are mounted.
The shoulder pads of the Mafex 3.0 aren't that much bigger compared to the figuarts one. I like the two figures but can't help to get angry with the Figuarts one bcause of that cape...
Well I'll take your word for it but even then I still can't bring myself to buy this.It really doesnt look like a definite improvement over the shf one considering the prices.
What About Bob?
The cowl is a bit swollen for my taste but other than that it seems like Medicos finally got Baleman right in the MAFEXIO line.
Yeah, finally a good Mafalexadingdong Batman!
I will buy this Batman but I do have the 1/4 scale hot toys dark night Batman so I don't know if I want to start collecting this small figures
Wonder if he actually films these at night (Tonight we're taking a look at...)
Bob is actually a Marvel character and he got a job with Hydra, he's only there for the healthcare.
I looked on amazon and the reviews were bad so for me I’m wondering how good yours was so I k ow if I should take the chance I have the 2.0 joker and I want a companion piece, which is your favorite 1/12 Batman figure
Hey Robo. Do you have the Mafex DK Harvey Dent?
It's not out yet, but I can't wait to get it.
Impressive, but my only complain would be the head,bacause it's a little bit too big.
Yo I wanna buy this figure but I don't know if in a bit they go to drop the 4 version?? Or this is the last version??
THis one pretty much nails it, I don't see them going for a 4.0 anytime soon.
Ugh I am so sick of Mafex/Figuarts only ever doing the same movie figures over and over again with updated sculpts and accessories. Would it kill them to take a chance and do more comic accurate figures? I would LOVE to see them do like a Thomas Wayne Batman, or If they did like Hush/Nightwing. I dunno, great review as always!
It may be limitations to the license. They may be only allowed to make movie characters because Mattel or DCC has the rights for comic characters in that scale.
Yeah thats a fair point . . . I just wish that we could see some of that Mafex/Figuarts articulation and quality applied towards something OTHER than the movies Dx
Oh, I hear ya. And you know what, I'm a liar. It may be a new development with the license but I forgot all about Medicom announcing a MAFEX Gwenpool and Spider-Man. So at least they are starting to get some comic figures out there.
6:06 did anyone else notice this? Or do I need a check up from the neck up? Hmmmm...maybe I shouldn't have ate all those shrooms in High school...
No, that's a running joke for elbows, and it's helps me to remember to actually call them "elbows" instead of some other body part.
I have the shf one, love it, only thing I like more about this is cape and crotch piece
These figures are really nice for the size and great because they complete out the line with all these accessories, but I feel they’re ridiculously overpriced. I think hot toys actually give the accessories in one figure and are actually more bang for your buck due to size and detail
Where do you buy your mafex action figures cause amazon is to expensive I was wondering if there is a cheaper website
Proportions looks a bit weird. I kinda like the proportions on SH Figuarts better.
That's cause you're a low IQ imbecile.
Nah, it's cause he has an opinion.
Riddick over here being a realdick
How you did that Bane Voice?
I just talked into a cup.
Im just gonna get the upcoming beast kingdom one
