I think the look is great when it comes to the sculpting work. It just needs a repaint. Something more like a light blue with a bit of a white hue, Black, gray and silver. Something simliar to the Arkham City color scheme or the old Mr Freeze custom that Anthony made. That figure was awesome btw
The Mafex style arm joints are a nice clean touch. He desperately needed more paint or a wash. I enjoy the Arkham city look. Hopefully they re release this as a gold label with more paint.
I love the general design scheme of Mr. Freeze overall, from the Adam West Batman version to the B:TAS look and even Batman and Robin's suit is sweet, maybe a little overdesigned but it is what it is. I think some silvers would help this guy pop more, you have to think of what's insulating that suit to keep it at the temperature Freeze needs to maintain. I don't think it's THAT bad of a paint job, but when I get this one I'll be doing a little TLC to make it shine. Some more blues on the effect piece in his gun would be killer too
Anthony, wow I too really wanted to like this figure more then I do. You hit all the pros and cons. The dome limiting the head vs the better body proportions. The great sculpt vs the weird paint choices. The good trigger hand vs card art misrepresenting the figure. Mr Freeze is one of my favorites in Batmans rogues gallery I was rooting for a better release. The Batman the animated series is the coolest, I also do like the classic version. Great review ✌️
Not a bad figure my only grapes are I wish they went for the darker colored suit instead of the white, and that the beam effect was a removable piece instead
Aside from the freeze suit looking too astronaut-y, the sculpt is quite nice. Yes, the lack of paint is egregious, the grey coloured parts are hideous, and the plastic legs look rather chintzy; if for nothing else, at least the bare parts devoid of paint make for a nice blank canvas. After all, the sculpt is already there. For patient collectors, might I suggest getting creative with Mister Freeze appropriate colours; blues, whites, blacks, etc…. As far as my favourite Mister Freeze look, I, too, must say The Animated Series - with the Arkham City design being a very close second. Either look works. Enjoyed the review, mate! Fantastic as always! Giovanni Marino, M.D.
Mcfarlane should really include more paint as those sculpts are waisted if you can't see them. Although I still applaud them for not reusing the Blight figure mold
I'm able to move his head completely side to side inside the dome. The only positions I can't get his head in the dome is looking up, big head tilts, and twisting his head backwards
My favorite look of Mister Freeze is his Batman: The Animated Series appearances. That retro look Freeze is a close second. I thought the days of McFarlane teasing customers with chase variants and the like were gone, but here we are. When I collected his NFL line of figures (i.e. statues) I tired quickly from the variants which were next to impossible to find and when you did, pony up to pay five to ten times the MSRP. Good luck, I hope you find the other Freeze, I know I'll grab one if I find it!
My fav mr freeze look is actually the Lego Batman Movie one, I love all the blues in that design. And that one also has the blue head like he has here, if they made the colour scheme of the Lego Batman one on this. Would buy it in an instant.
I’ve come to realize that if they just made simpler sculpts the unpainted parts wouldn’t look so bad. Like if they sculpt so much detail and just cast it in one color it looks cheap, but smoother armor solid color looks intentional
7:36 One of the few times I don't totally agree with you on this one. The articulation is far better than the majority of DC figures they've made which shows slow, but evident improvement. I know you tend to be objective as possible but I think with articulation you could lightly consider the character and how they are portrayed to move. Like Mr. Freeze being able to do a full split should not be as important as a more agile character, like Spider-Man, having that range. He can be posed stomping around holding his gun with both hands perfectly and the torso articulation is as far as he'd be able to move in an actual suit like that. The mafex style elbows added two more points of articulation that I think you missed, at the upper elbow, that allow him to hold his gun better without having to use the hindered swivel at the upper bicep/shoulder. Other than that, I agree with you on the color scheme and lack of detail work. If it weren't for the color scheme this guy would be a 10/10 for me. He's also in scale, being slightly taller than most hero characters.
As much as I sh!t on Mcfarlane, I might get this when it hits clearance and customize him. Sure it's pretty much a blank canvas figure (I know it has some paint, but its lacking), but at least the sculpt is pretty decent. Favorite costume- BTAS
I remember my sister preordered this before it was out and I got it in the mail by surprise, sure do love it. Articulation could be better but I fuck with it 😌
I have hope for this figure. I got one on release. I might want to get into dry brushing or something to give the white areas some detail. I don't know. He's an open canvas. Haha
The McFarlane store exclusive looked much better, too bad it was impossible to get. Target cancelled my preorder of this version and I'm not heartbroken.
Omg a trigger finger hand that finally has a proper use. I do like the sculpt of this, but yeah the colors are not doing it any favors. Best design for Mr Freeze is totally Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Definitely needs a paint job and the gold label one with the classic paint scheme is going for $80 on ebay. I'd rather burn the $80 and use it to light a cigar then pay the scalpers.
This figure could've been good if they just gave it some paint. But with how the plastic colours look, the lack of paint and how mismatched the plastics even look, it comes off borderline like a prototype.
Literally, the paint job is a hundred times better and just makes the figure worth getting. For me the negative is the gun. Even with the new paint job on it, I kind of want a BTAS freeze gun instead.
Dunno if it's my device but there are some angles where it's a bit hard to detail the colours in his chest during the video Moon boots haha yeah, he wanted to look cool but they chose to make him look plain, quite sad
Every one of their cards is a major mismatch to the figure, Beast Boy being the exception. Scarecrow is the worst since the figure they did is hardly recognizable at first glance. And the card is the new 52 design which couldn’t possibly look any more different from the figure.
Also, you should add a "recommended price " section, in which you say what price you would buy this figure at, for those who are buying second hand

I enjoy the Arkham city look.
Hopefully they re release this as a gold label with more paint.
The color scheme is awful why would they choose grey and white over blue and silver? A custom paint job would do wonders for this figure
Because it's from the comics
@@PeterTennant from which comics?

Best freeze look for me is either the Animated Series look or the Arkham City one. Both are fun in their own way

Well said, Doctor Marino. I agree on everything you said.
Mcfarlane should really include more paint as those sculpts are waisted if you can't see them. Although I still applaud them for not reusing the Blight figure mold

I don't think your dome or head is different than mine

Dope figure got mines today love it
It would've been cool if that blast effect on the barrel of the gun was removable.
Arkham Origins Cold, Cold Heart is my favorite look for Freeze
Was really hoping this guy was better. Looking forward to black manta.
Oooh you know what would look really good? That other rare Freeze you were showing with this Freeze’s head. That would would be perfect in my opinion.
Agreed
The one from your custom is Mr. Freeze's biography art that appears in the first Arkham Asylum video game.
Yes
What's your opinion on the new Mezco Superman? I just ordered it
Think I’ll grab this guy if I see it discounted just to paint it up.
I remember my sister preordered this before it was out and I got it in the mail by surprise, sure do love it. Articulation could be better but I fuck with it 😌
Mr Freeze's articulation is Peak McFarlane apparently, atleast at the torso.
How many heads does darwin have? I lost count
I really like the costume they used on the trading card. Why didn’t they use that?
They basically made him a storm trooper with those colors. Could be a fun figure to customize, though.
I have hope for this figure. I got one on release. I might want to get into dry brushing or something to give the white areas some detail. I don't know. He's an open canvas. Haha
The color Schere makes it look like a prototype.
His Arkham City look is my favorite and we need a new figure of that.
This figure was made for the customizers
I knew I remembered him from the awesome custom you did! Very cool character…too bad they didn’t do it justice
The McFarlane store exclusive looked much better, too bad it was impossible to get. Target cancelled my preorder of this version and I'm not heartbroken.
Anyone know whats up with the weird grease that comes on some of these McFarlane figures? My Freeze has a gross amount on it.
My fav look is Arnold's. It's just...cool.
Omg a trigger finger hand that finally has a proper use. I do like the sculpt of this, but yeah the colors are not doing it any favors. Best design for Mr Freeze is totally Arnold Schwarzenegger.
You should make a custom of this figure and then have a bid for it!
Yeah, somebody will repaint this and he'll look MUCH better.
Is anyone finding this out in the wild? I haven't seen him anywhere.
I've seen it
Detective comics #1027 is this look but the colors are different. Same general design though.
Definitely needs a paint job and the gold label one with the classic paint scheme is going for $80 on ebay. I'd rather burn the $80 and use it to light a cigar then pay the scalpers.
I Repainted mine blue and metallic silver
BTAS is my favorite look for Freeze .
Reminds me of the imaginext Freeze figures I had as a kid
The animated series is the best besides the arkham look. P.S the lego minifigure can pose it's head better.
Bro, pls, review of the jada toys street figther, ryu and fei long, look so cool
I don't have access to any to review
You should review the new "TAS" inspired repaint version. Looks like they gave it a little more TLC than this one.
I have it. It will be reviewed.
@AnthonysCustoms Just got mine in the mail! I like it quite a bit, but I'm also looking forward to your review. 👍
This figure could've been good if they just gave it some paint. But with how the plastic colours look, the lack of paint and how mismatched the plastics even look, it comes off borderline like a prototype.
At this point, I think I'm done collecting mcfarlane.
Oh irony. The new BTAS recolor of this mold is just MILES better than this one.
Literally, the paint job is a hundred times better and just makes the figure worth getting. For me the negative is the gun. Even with the new paint job on it, I kind of want a BTAS freeze gun instead.
I'll be reviewing it
i understant that you didnt like it but looks nice to me
Gonna need paint real bad. Wouldnt mind giving it a shot. Freeze deserves better
Out of the box this figure is very bleh, but it seems like it could look pretty good with a minimal amount of work.
It looks like Bruce Willis or am I the only one that notices 😂
Would you ever do a review on Jada toys Street fighter Fei Long?
Yeah. If i can ever find one
Dunno if it's my device but there are some angles where it's a bit hard to detail the colours in his chest during the video
Moon boots haha yeah, he wanted to look cool but they chose to make him look plain, quite sad
It's the glossy off white color
Every one of their cards is a major mismatch to the figure, Beast Boy being the exception. Scarecrow is the worst since the figure they did is hardly recognizable at first glance. And the card is the new 52 design which couldn’t possibly look any more different from the figure.
The paint on this guy is an absolute eyesore.
🥈
horrible, cheap, ugly, bad, terrible, disgusting ...
always those words xD xD
Isn't this his Gotham Knights design?
It is not. Unless he has more than one and the one that matches this isn't big on Google
🥇
Pues a mi si me gusto en general, de acuerdo con que la pintura siempre es un problema en estas figuras y el rango de movimientos. Saludos.
He needs some kind of wash or something.
He made the figs 7 inch to show the absent paintjob vividly
Don't like the mostly white color scheme.
That effect part looks nothing like ice... looks... questionable...
I am waiting for a good Mr. Freeze figure for a long time........this one is still a easy pass.
Figure looks awful with the lack of detail.
Give. Up. The. License. Please!
Looks like his Btas look
