Hey Monkeyfamily! How did Dean @All Things 80s get on with his Batman figure? Surely he had some better luck? Check out his excellent review here: th-cam.com/video/XDTGNZq8sG0/w-d-xo.html 👍🐵
When I stop laughing, I will offer my sympathy. First he is legless and then he has LLD ( Limb Length Discrepancy ). Well at least when you got the leg back on, The discrepancy was not as bad. Being "Superman", I think he would win an arse kicking competition as a one legged man.
@@lordmalvada8212 Haha LLD 😂 brilliant 👍 I'm glad you found my distress amusing; at least some good came out of that shocker of a figure 😅 Thanks for watching LM dude, I really appreciate your support of the channels 👍 Have a spectacular week sir! 🐵
@@damionalbarr7961 Thanks Damion, yeah it's definitely a knockoff. Oh well, I guess it was kinda amusing that his leg fell off😅 Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment, I really appreciate your interest. Have a great week! 👍🐵
Yeah, this one is Knock-off Central! I don't often get caught out with fakes, but this one got past my defences. The photo in the listing was a genuine one, but it obviously turned out to be a scam. Oh well, at least the video was amusing I suppose! Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate your time and interest! Have a great week sir! 👍🐵
Please don't let this experience put you off opening more figures. While perusing a Thai website that is notorious for fake items, I've been seeing a ton of listings for the Neca Batman '66 figure which is long out of circulation, which suggests to me there's a factory specializing in producing fakes like this .
Hmm, interesting. It's a very rare occurrence that I get swindled with a knockoff, but this one got past my defenses. Stephen Gray pointed out that the figure looks like Shakin' Stevens, which actually makes me feel a little better. At least I can appreciate why his hips are fucked and his leg fell off 😂
Yeah Mr Carrot and Some Broccoli are friendly vegetables. I may soon have enough for a soft toy stir-fry. Great to know you've been swatting wasps like a true British gent. Our countries were built on strong wasp swatting skills for centuries now. You are doing the Lord's work. I've spoken to him and he says "Yeah mate, smash them to bits, horrible little c-nuts. They are only here for target practice, and frogs and birds and bats sometimes eat then but other that that he's happy for them to be destroyed all over doors and windows. Give 'em a right belt in the ear and flipping ruin their day. I'm just pssing on the message. Whack em with a fiip flop if you have one handy. Destroy them to bits, they were a terrible mistske that slipped past quality control on account of all the stinging people.as much as they want business. Leave the bees to go about their business making free honey for us to steal.
It does have a similar chest to the genuine one, but I don't think mine is quite as rubbery. It doesn't bend much. The figure looks okay on display I suppose, but It doesn't quite look like Christopher Reeve. Ah well, I guess I was bound to get suckered by a knockoff one day. Thanks again for watching 🙏🐵
Bloody hell MB, almost gave me a heart attack there when you were bending his arms, I was sure it would break. Sucks that you got a fake, but then it does make this fellow a bit special. Maybe you could give him a small red clowns nose to match his cross eyes? Batman looks cool, coincidently I also have tactical (under) pants....
Well, when his leg fell off I nearly lost my mind. Luckily I was saved by immediate swearing and sarcasm. It's not often I get caught out with a knockoff; in fact I've only been swindled once before. I have bought knockoffs on purpose before, but this one caught me off-guard and slipped past my defences. He looks fine on display... if you're standing far away lol Thanks for watching man. Hopefully my misfortune was at least entertaining! 😅🙏🐵
Hi Monkey Boy, thanks for the mention and I'm really glad you like the Batman figure. It's still up there as one of my favourites too. Bad luck on the Superman, but I must say this has been one of the funniest things that I've seen in a while! I thought he looked like Shakin' Stevens in the box! All the best, mate. Have a good week.
Shakin Stevens! Yes! I knew he reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it! Brilliant observation! Thanks again for making me aware of the figure, I hope it's okay that I mentioned your name. I figured that it was okay because Skeletor mentions you all the time on his channel, otherwise I'd have asked you first. Cheers for watching dude, it's great to have your support and interest! 👍🙏🐵
I'm glad people are finding my distress amusing 😂 At least some good came out of that shocker of a figure! Honestly mate when his leg fell off I thought about quitting the video, but I'm glad I continued to the bitter, bitter end 😅😅
That's alright, Monkey Boy, I don't mind that you mentioned my name. It was quite a nice surprise actually, so thanks. Yes, after watching this video I've realised that Shakey's resemblance to Superman is quite uncanny. Could it be that the green door he was singing about was actually made of Kryptonite?
@@stephengray8374 well I do like to credit people for their ideas and suggestions. I may not have discovered the figure on my own. I'm tempted to get another one so I can open it, but we'll see. I'm already at bursting point with my display space. Goodness knows where I'm gonna put all the Playmobil. I think I will probably choose to think of the Superman figure as Shaky, it makes more sense because his legs and hips are knackered 😂
Hey monkey boy. Broke my collectors heart watching this Chris Reeves figure deteriorate in front of my eyes as the vid continued. Really am sorry this has happened buddy and do hope you can get another / genuine one down the line. I'd like to think this was just an unfortunate knock off situation.

Thanks for the comment BGTR! Yeah I knew something was off when I bought it. The price was too low.

Perhaps I should reconsider my position on the matter. Thanks for watching dude, I really appreciate your support for all this time 🙏🐵

Thanks Cat, I'm pleased that you found the video funny. I know you prefer Skeletor's channel but I appreciate you watching mine too 👍 Thanks for the kind words and support! Have a great week! 🙏🐵
Sorry about your toy troubles. I hope this doesn't discourage you from opening figures in the future. My first Valaverse figure I broke the stock off the gun straight off. Needless to say it has been my last Valaverse figure but I know they usually do good work. I have watched a few videos comparing knock-offs to the real version and without both side by side, I couldn't tell some of them apart. However I am not the sharpest knife in the shed, maybe I should apply to Skeletor for a minion gig. That Batman looks like he needs more fiber in his diet. I do prefer a soft goods cape to plastic. Hope things turn around for you. Have a great week.
Thanks for watching the video Andrew, I hope at least that my outrage and distress were amusing to see. This figure is almost 100% certainly a knockoff. Ah well, I made the rookie mistake of not checking recent reviews and not having enough alarm bells and red flags about the obvious price too low to be true and the fact that they had 12+ available. When his leg fell off I nearly had kittens dude🙈🙉🙊
@@MonkeyboysToys Ha. I wouldn't want to collectively lower the average IQ of that group. They are struggling as it is considering Evil Lyn and Panthor aren't technically minions.
@phatfiesta1 Thanks for the comment dude, I'm pleased that you were amused and entertained! The figure torso doesn't seem to be as rubbery as the genuine figure is supposed to be. It is a fairly rigid textured plastic and does not seem to twist and move with the articulation very much. If it is rubber then it's incredibly hard and non-supple. It's very difficult to determine if there is any flexibility at all. Thank you for watching; I really appreciate the support and encouragement! Have a great week guys! 👍🐵
Thanks for the video mate! I was going to buy the knockoff Neca Superman from Aliexpress but not anymore after watching this video! Apparently McFarland will be releasing a 1978 Christopher Reeves Superman at the end of the year/early next year so I am going to wait for that. Alternatively you could get the Mezco Christopher Reeves Superman but it's very expensive on the secondary market.
@royboy8878 Hey Royboy, thanks for the comment! Glad I was able to help you avoid this hot mess! Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing the McFarlane figure, I think it's got a soft goods cape which should be cool if they choose the right fabric. Thanks for watching, dude! Have a great week! 👍🐵
Harrison Keaton is "Bat Runner" - Really like the Dark Detective Batman. I think I could be a sucker for a trench coat figure. Strangely cool. 4:26 I think the word you want to say is "Bondage" (well that is the one which popped into my mind, lol) Looking at the NECA site, the cape should have a sewn edge to it. You have my sympathy, it must be disappointing and hope you paid a cheap price for it. On the bright side should you get an official figure you could make a great comparison video. Still a great video and a good heads up for other collectors. Thanks for showing us the rough as well as the smooth of toy collecting MBT. 👍👏
Thanks for the comment RM, I think I do indeed have a knockoff. I was suspicious when I bought it but decided to take a chance. The price was too good to be true really, so I should've listened to my spidey-sense. Still, with the hundreds of figures I have, I think I only have two or three knockoffs. Hopefully the video will still provide some entertainment for viewers. Thanks for watching dude, have a groovy week! 👍🐵
@@MonkeyboysToys It was marvellous entertainment - worth watching again for leg moment! Glad you did not pay much, but I think it makes for a great and entertaining awareness video.
Looks like I got scammed. Thank f**k I didn't spent a lot on the figure. I suppose the cheap (ish) price should've been a red flag to begin with. Still, he looks okay on display as long as I don't look too closely or try to move his legs. Cheers for watching man! 👍🐵
How frustrating Monkeyboy, entertaining for us viewing, but frustrating for you. I wonder, what Toy Story would be like if they had knock off toys in the franchise. I remember Sid, the original neighbour of Andy, did his own style of custom toys but they were 'proper' toys.
Well at least it made for an amusing video I suppose. You have to laugh about these things. Luckily it didn't cost much, which should've rung alarm bells in the first place. I made a rookie mistake. I should've known better really. Oh well. I don't think I've seen any of the Toy Story films, do you recommend them? Thanks for watching, Dez! It's great to have your support and encouragement. Thank you for your time and interest! 🙏💀
Hi wasp swatter, yeah that superman figure seems to be made in a bad quality. Don't like the paintjob neither (hair, logo, belt etc..). btw; will you make soup of these vegetables?
Hey dude! Haha no the vegetables are my friends 😅 Yeah the figure is almost certainly a bootleg/knockoff. It looks okay on display from a distance, but up close it's a bit crappy. I will try to get a genuine one some day. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate the support 🙏 Have a great week! 👍🐵
Hey Ben, thanks for watching! Unfortunately his leg is too loose, so warming it up doesn't help. It just falls off if you try to move it. That's what I get for taking a risk on a cheap figure I suppose. I hope you at least found the video amusing! Thanks again, I appreciate the support! Have a great week dude! 👍🐵
Sorry dude, you probably mean to warm the shoulder and elbow joints before moving them, yeah that does free them up a bit. Thanks again for watching sir 👍🐵
@@MonkeyboysToys I got the same one I reheated and reset everything Now it’s pretty nice. Did a couple touch ups with paint and for $22 I’ve got a pretty decent reeve Superman
@@benmurphygo1 good job dude! I will have to try it again, thanks! Were the eyes on yours messed up too? Mine looks okay from a distance but up close it looks a bit wrong. I'm still glad I got it but I wish I had a genuine one. The face sculpt on the knockoff isn't quite right. Thanks again for checking out the video! 👍🐵
Bought a "real/reel" one at a TRU when the dvd promotions were going on. I'd read so many horror stories about NECA legs snapping off I put it in semi-hot water before I took him out the tray. The flight hands were waaay off between the thumb and fingers, so that was out. I didn't want him to stop a locomotive, so I kept the fisted hands right where they were. I have him in a static pose on a generic NECA stand. Same with the 66 Batman. They looked great back to back...until DC multiverse Lynda Carter WW came out. So there's a BvS set now.
Thanks for the great comment! I will have to check out the WW you mention. This Superman knockoff figure was a nightmare from start to finish! I've only been caught out twice with knockoffs so that's not bad considering how many action figures I've bought. Thanks so much for checking out the video and leaving a comment dude, it really supports the channel! Have a tremendous week! 👍🐵
Yeah I can't recall seeing Batman Ears unless its Bruce Wayne either ;). For me the Face or Head stood out right away for the Superman one ;). It don't have a scan bar on it? I got a Superman I thought was Super Powers but don't have action feature. I think its got another part as the head pushing down into torso. I"m thinking it has a Clark Kent overlay if helps identify? I can't see or read well enough to get any information from the figure itself ;). I just use my finger nails to open up things. I remember peeling the tape to put the Battle Armor on my Vegeita for Super Battle Collection or some Bandai. Then I sealed it up again but can still tell I opened it once ;). Seems Cheap Painted Pinocchio :). Hand torn too. His Eyes Like I painted them haha.
Haha thanks DS, well I had to poke fun at it really, didn't I? I can't believe his leg fell off, but I suppose it made for an amusing video if nothing else 😅 Thanks for watching, I do appreciate your time and interest, it really helps to support the channel 👍 Have a great week, hope to see you next time! 🙏🐵
Ohhh I see what happened here, you got yourself a snap-on model kit and Neca just forgot to say so on the box, you put it together no parents help required.
My god that is so fake ha ha , my first impression was the glossy paint , I've just done a video and I mention in that video about the knock offs out there lol But I've actually seen worse knockoff figures lol
Shocking, isn't it? I don't normally get caught out with knockoffs, but this one got through my defences lol 😅 Cheers for watching dude, I really appreciate the support! 👍🐵
@@MonkeyboysToys actually parts of the figure don't look too bad for example the Cape and the Superman s on his chest was painted well and the the sculpture in general was not bad I think it was a face that really ruined it lol
Yeah, 100% a knock off not even close to the original. The original was almost perfect. Had great detail in the suit. The face and the looks were almost spot The original figure is now over $100.
@jameshopkins5702 Yeah it is pretty bad 😅😅 Looks fine from a distance of about five meters lol. Thank you for watching, James! 👍 Have a good week dude! 🙏🐵
It's okay, it wasn't expensive and at least I got a funny video out of it 😅 The figure looks fine on display (from a distance) until you get close!

It's very silly. Thanks again DBH! 👍🙏🐵
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately the leg doesn't stay on because the hip stump doesn't fit properly. It would need to be glued. The mark on the nose won't come off without taking the rest of the paint off, the hip joint is faulty and the eyes are painted crossed. It really is a hot mess. It's a shame you seem frustrated by the video but thank you for watching anyway. 👍🐵

Still a great video and a good heads up for other collectors. Thanks for showing us the rough as well as the smooth of toy collecting MBT. 👍👏
Thanks for the comment RM, I think I do indeed have a knockoff. I was suspicious when I bought it but decided to take a chance. The price was too good to be true really, so I should've listened to my spidey-sense.
Still, with the hundreds of figures I have, I think I only have two or three knockoffs.
Hopefully the video will still provide some entertainment for viewers.
Thanks for watching dude, have a groovy week! 👍🐵
@@MonkeyboysToys It was marvellous entertainment - worth watching again for leg moment! Glad you did not pay much, but I think it makes for a great and entertaining awareness video.
@@reading_MOVIES Thanks man!Maybe I will get a genuine one at some point. This was a learning experience I guess.
Thanks again for watching! 👍🐵
@Monkeyboy's Toys that's OK, sorry it turned out to be a fake.
Poor Superman can't do The Safety Dance
Haha nope 😅
4:39 yeah Superdude is definitely fake lol. Still love it though 🤣
Looks like I got scammed. Thank f**k I didn't spent a lot on the figure. I suppose the cheap (ish) price should've been a red flag to begin with.
Still, he looks okay on display as long as I don't look too closely or try to move his legs.
Cheers for watching man! 👍🐵
How frustrating Monkeyboy, entertaining for us viewing, but frustrating for you. I wonder, what Toy Story would be like if they had knock off toys in the franchise. I remember Sid, the original neighbour of Andy, did his own style of custom toys but they were 'proper' toys.
Well at least it made for an amusing video I suppose. You have to laugh about these things. Luckily it didn't cost much, which should've rung alarm bells in the first place. I made a rookie mistake. I should've known better really. Oh well.
I don't think I've seen any of the Toy Story films, do you recommend them?
Thanks for watching, Dez! It's great to have your support and encouragement. Thank you for your time and interest! 🙏💀
@@MonkeyboysToys the toy story films are very good and heartwarming. But you'll never look at your toys the same way again!
You can glue it back on obviously at the contact point
Hi wasp swatter, yeah that superman figure seems to be made in a bad quality. Don't like the paintjob neither (hair, logo, belt etc..). btw; will you make soup of these vegetables?
Hey dude! Haha no the vegetables are my friends 😅
Yeah the figure is almost certainly a bootleg/knockoff. It looks okay on display from a distance, but up close it's a bit crappy. I will try to get a genuine one some day.
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate the support 🙏
Have a great week! 👍🐵
Hair dryer is your friend
Hey Ben, thanks for watching!
Unfortunately his leg is too loose, so warming it up doesn't help. It just falls off if you try to move it. That's what I get for taking a risk on a cheap figure I suppose.
I hope you at least found the video amusing!
Thanks again, I appreciate the support!
Have a great week dude! 👍🐵
Sorry dude, you probably mean to warm the shoulder and elbow joints before moving them, yeah that does free them up a bit.
Thanks again for watching sir 👍🐵
@@MonkeyboysToys I got the same one
I reheated and reset everything
Now it’s pretty nice. Did a couple touch ups with paint and for $22 I’ve got a pretty decent reeve Superman
@@benmurphygo1 good job dude! I will have to try it again, thanks!
Were the eyes on yours messed up too?
Mine looks okay from a distance but up close it looks a bit wrong.
I'm still glad I got it but I wish I had a genuine one. The face sculpt on the knockoff isn't quite right.
Thanks again for checking out the video! 👍🐵
Bought a "real/reel" one at a TRU when the dvd promotions were going on. I'd read so many horror stories about NECA legs snapping off I put it in semi-hot water before I took him out the tray. The flight hands were waaay off between the thumb and fingers, so that was out. I didn't want him to stop a locomotive, so I kept the fisted hands right where they were. I have him in a static pose on a generic NECA stand. Same with the 66 Batman. They looked great back to back...until DC multiverse Lynda Carter WW came out. So there's a BvS set now.
Thanks for the great comment!
I will have to check out the WW you mention.
This Superman knockoff figure was a nightmare from start to finish! I've only been caught out twice with knockoffs so that's not bad considering how many action figures I've bought.
Thanks so much for checking out the video and leaving a comment dude, it really supports the channel!
Have a tremendous week! 👍🐵
Yeah I can't recall seeing Batman Ears unless its Bruce Wayne either ;). For me the Face or Head stood out right away for the Superman one ;). It don't have a scan bar on it? I got a Superman I thought was Super Powers but don't have action feature. I think its got another part as the head pushing down into torso. I"m thinking it has a Clark Kent overlay if helps identify? I can't see or read well enough to get any information from the figure itself ;). I just use my finger nails to open up things. I remember peeling the tape to put the Battle Armor on my Vegeita for Super Battle Collection or some Bandai. Then I sealed it up again but can still tell I opened it once ;). Seems Cheap Painted Pinocchio :). Hand torn too. His Eyes Like I painted them haha.
You do have my sympathy but I will confess to giggling when you mentioned the stump articulation. Sorry that happened to you
Haha thanks DS, well I had to poke fun at it really, didn't I? I can't believe his leg fell off, but I suppose it made for an amusing video if nothing else 😅
Thanks for watching, I do appreciate your time and interest, it really helps to support the channel 👍
Have a great week, hope to see you next time! 🙏🐵
Ohhh I see what happened here, you got yourself a snap-on model kit and Neca just forgot to say so on the box, you put it together no parents help required.
Hahaha that's it! Now I feel much better 😂😂
Thanks for watching, Raul! I appreciate the support 👍🐵
My god that is so fake ha ha , my first impression was the glossy paint , I've just done a video and I mention in that video about the knock offs out there lol
But I've actually seen worse knockoff figures lol
Shocking, isn't it? I don't normally get caught out with knockoffs, but this one got through my defences lol 😅
Cheers for watching dude, I really appreciate the support! 👍🐵
@@MonkeyboysToys actually parts of the figure don't look too bad for example the Cape and the Superman s on his chest was painted well and the the sculpture in general was not bad I think it was a face that really ruined it lol
@@popculturepedestal yeah the face looks okay from the side, but from the front I was like "who's that supposed to be?" Lol😅
Yeah, 100% a knock off not even close to the original. The original was almost perfect. Had great detail in the suit. The face and the looks were almost spot The original figure is now over $100.
@jameshopkins5702 Yeah it is pretty bad 😅😅
Looks fine from a distance of about five meters lol.
Thank you for watching, James! 👍
Have a good week dude! 🙏🐵
Yum lead paint..lol
Great review monkeyboys toys. if i were you id return it where ever you brought it from.not acceptable piece of st it is.
It's okay, it wasn't expensive and at least I got a funny video out of it 😅 The figure looks fine on display (from a distance) until you get close!
Thanks for checking out the video, it really supports the channel.

Bro is bitching about a leg falling off an easily repeggable joint, and a bit of scuff marks that come off with rubbing alcohol
Thanks for the comment!
Unfortunately the leg doesn't stay on because the hip stump doesn't fit properly. It would need to be glued. The mark on the nose won't come off without taking the rest of the paint off, the hip joint is faulty and the eyes are painted crossed. It really is a hot mess.
It's a shame you seem frustrated by the video but thank you for watching anyway. 👍🐵
