  1. I finally got my hands on the new DC premier Robin figure, and couldn't wait to repaint it and add a few touches to make him resemble his appearances in the Batman/Superman Worlds finest comic. (Awesome read, by the way) I added a lower coat piece from a Black Panther Everett Ross figure and a yellow cloth cape that I sewed together. The rest is just paint. I hope you enjoy this take and as always More to come.
  2. Shown below is the new Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - Batman 1/6th scale collectible figure from Hot Toys. Stay tuned for more details! In DC Comics “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,” an older Bruce Wayne emerges from retirement to reclaim his role as Batman as Gotham City spirals into chaos amidst rampant crime and corruption. Confronting his fears and the repercussions of his past, he battles a new wave of foes. "The Dark Knight Returns" is truly a classic that redefined Batman and left a significant mark on the superhero genre. The heroic image and muscular physique of Batman in the comic are iconic. Today, Hot Toys brings this legendary character to life with this 1/6th scale Batman Collectible Figure. Inspired by Batman's appearance in “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,” this meticulously crafted figure features a newly developed body with 30 points of articulation that portrays Batman’s muscular physique, and a masked head with interchangeable lower parts of face. The collectible figure also comes with a specially tailored Batsuit with a large Bat symbol and an attached wired cape, a utility belt with weathering effects, Batarangs, a rifle and a specially designed figure stand with character nameplate. Don’t miss your chance to add this incredible Batman Figure to your DC collectible display!
  3. It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Batman: Hush - Superman figure from Gong Studio and Pop Mart! After the gorgeous Batman figure we checked last month, Gong Studio and Pop Mart's Superman figure didn't take too long to follow, as the figure was revealed, pre-ordered and delivered within a few weeks. A fantastic Superman figure, which could have had a few more accessories... Just like the Batman before him, Superman comes in a rather sober box, with art on the front and a tiny window to see his face in the back. I kinda like those back windows! This Batman: Hush - Superman comes with 2 heads, 3 pairs of hands + 1 hand and one hand for Batman that can do a handshake, and 3 plant attachments, from when Superman was being controlled by Poison Ivy in the book. It's rather low in accessories, and I would have loved a dedicated flight stand, for example (I dug out a MAFEX or 52toys one to use with him), a few more hands (flat ones, for when he flies), and maybe laser eye effects or freeze breath effects (with an extra head to make those work). The Superman figure was about the same price as the Batman figure, but Batman came with a lot more. Anyhoo... This is a great Superman figure, that feels great in hand and moves very nicely. The cape is wired but doesn't seem to stick in place, due to the logo on it, that is made of plastic and weighs it down a bit. You can do light wind in the cape, but not full blown to the side, basically. Same nitpicks as the Batman: the thigh cuts don't really look amazing through the suit, and the material used for the suit has rather large lines and seams, so it does still look like an action figure rather than 'real' when you look at it closely. I wish he could look more up, also, so he could hit more flying poses. Still, it's one of the best Superman figures I own. Comparison pics with DC Direct, MAFEX and Mezco One:12 Collective Batman figures Really hoping to see more figures from Batman: Hush, but also from any other DC book really. Gong Studio and Pop Mart did an amazing job with those 2. The Gong Studio and Pop Mart Batman: Hush - Superman figure can be purchased from places like our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com or Nerdzoic.

  4. Shown below is a preview of the new Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Batman: Arkham Knight - Nightwing figure from Kaiyodo. Stay tuned for more details!
  5. "Wait... Didn't I pre-order that already?" Collectors around the world reported a growing sense of déjà vu these past few months, as multiple toy companies announced what appeared to be the exact same characters within days or weeks of each other, while firmly insisting it was all a coincidence. ToyFarce investigated... Industry insiders confirmed that the toy world is now operating inside a multiverse where every timeline eventually leads to Batman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, RoboCop,... being announced by at least two brands at the same time, each claiming a "completely different interpretation". The latest multiversal overlap began when INART revealed a Batman from Arkham Origins, shortly followed by Hot Toys announcing a Batman from Batman Origins. Collectors were encouraged to notice the subtle differences by opening both announcements side by side and squinting. Of course, they're not the same scale, but it's to prove a point. A similar incident occurred when GONG Studio and UPF (formerly LPZZ) both announced Batman: Hush figures, with both companies assuring fans that their versions are unique thanks to different fabric textures, head sculpts, and slightly different levels of emotional intensity. Speaking of LPZZ (now UPF), they have been in a tug of war with INART, announcing pretty much the same Batman-related products for a while, from a BVS Batfleck figure, a Battinson, figures from the Dark Knight Rises and the entire cast of Dark Nights: Metal. Oh, and those Absolute Batman figures too! The phenomenon extended beyond Batman, as JFS Toys, Hiya Toys and Trick or Treat Studios are all announcing RoboCop figures, while Lingjihun and HeatBoys announced highly articulated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, proving that in every universe, at least two companies will release the same license at the same time. Despite accusations of copying homework, brands maintain that everything is purely coincidental. "It’s not copying if you change the font, the base, and release it six months apart" explained one source, while collectors quietly pre-ordered multiple versions "just to compare". At press time, collectors were reportedly suffering from sever announcement fatigue, unsure if they witnessed a new reveal, a competing version, a more recent picture, or the same figure from another universe. One collector addmitted that he might end up ordering them all, since keeping track of everything is turning out to be quite confusing. More news at 11:00... Welcome to the Multiverse of Overlapping Announcements! *ToyFarce News is parody news for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously!
  6. Shown below is the new Absolute Batman - Batman 1/6th scale collectible figure from Hot Toys. Stay tuned for more details! “I don't need cars, or planes, or computers. I don't need anything you have. All I need... is Batman.” – Batman In the groundbreaking Absolute Universe from DC Comics, writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta reimagine the Dark Knight as a relentless blue-collar: a massively built, working-class Bruce Wayne who forges his own brutal path against Gotham’s chaos, armed with raw ingenuity and unyielding menace rather than billionaire resources. Hot Toys is thrilled to present the 1/6th scale Batman™ Collectible Figure, inspired by the Absolute Batman comic series. Standing at approximately 40.5 cm tall, this figure brings the massively built Batman from the comics to life. It strikingly captures his powerful physique, featuring a muscular body made from soft vinyl materials that allow for a smooth, seamless joint design. The figure features a Batman cowl head with detachable bat ears and three interchangeable lower faces, allowing collectors to use his bat ears as knives and shift his expression from grim to outright menace. Batman is outfitted in Batsuit with neck and shoulder armor built for recreating iconic moments. To customize his silhouette, the set includes short and long spike options, allowing collectors to choose between a cleaner look or turn up the aggression to its fullest. The bat-symbol on his chest is magnetically removable; paired with the Bat-Axe weapon, it allows collectors to recreate scenes where the bat-symbol becomes part of his brutal arsenal. Finishing the imposing profile is a set of wire-embedded cape in bat-wings mode, perfect for dynamic motion poses. His look is completed with a yellow utility belt and long boots. For combat-ready setups, Batman comes equipped with a Bat-Axe featuring interchangeable short and long handles, as well as a shotgun. A specially designed figure stand with character nameplate completes the presentation. For the Special Edition available only in selected markets, an additional wire-embedded cape with separated tethers and a shawl for a stealthy look will be included. With towering presence, interchangeable armor and weapon configurations, and a cape system built for dramatic stances, this Batman figure is a next-level comic centerpiece, made to dominate your display shelf from any angle!
  7. It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Batman: The Animated Series Clayface (Exclusive) figure from Mondo. What a FANTASTIC toy! It's huge, it has a soft plastic/rubber overlay on top of ratchet articulations and can move seamlessly and beautifully. I am blown away. In Batman: The Animated Series, Matt Hagen was an actor ("The man of a million faces") who was disfigured in a car accident. While at the hospital, Roland Daggett, a corrupt indistrualist, approaches Hagen to offer him to be a test subject for 'Renuyu', a cream that would restore his looks. Long story short, he turns to crime to be able to get more Renuyu, and eventually gets an entire vat thrown at him and turns into Clayface, a huge shapeshifting monster. The 1/6 Scale Clayface figure from Mondo is huge and comes with a TON of accessories: 5 different head sculpts (or portraits as they call them at Mondo: normal, angry, grinning, impersonating Batman and a head with a grappling hook coming out of it), 3 pairs of hands, an axe hand, a spear hand, a crab claw hand, 2 hammer hands, a hook hand, a hand with blade fingers, a Daggett Renuyu cream box, a trapped Batman chest magnetic accessory and a puddle with a peg to attach a head on it. This is such a fun toy. He looks like he just got out of the screen from the series. Alex Brewer, Tommy Hodges, Mark Bristow and the team at Mondo did a fantastic job on this one. It is big and heavy, feels like soft plastic all over, but has those big ratchet joints under it (which make a ton of CLICK sounds when you move it, and sounds just like the knees of a person over 40 years old #relatable). I probably wouldn't leave him with his arms bent for extended periods of time, afraid that it would mess with the paint on it, but I handled him for a couple of hours in all sorts of poses, and he still looks awesome. The next figure to be released from that line will be Robin, and Mondo put up Two-Face for pre-order just yesterday, with a limited edition available that includes a straight jacket and a couple more portraits. Looking forward to that one! More news at 11:00... "I'm not an actor anymore! I'm not even... A man!"
  8. Shown below is the new Batman: Arkham Origins Batman (XE Suit Hellbat Version) 1/6th scale collectible figure from Hot Toys. Stay tuned for more details! In Batman: Arkham Origins’ story DLC “Cold, Cold Heart”, Batman dons the Extreme Environment (XE) Suit — a heat-generating armor designed to stand his ground against Mr. Freeze’s icy cryotechnology. In DC Comics, the Hellbat armor is a formidable suit crafted by Batman with help from the Justice League to confront threats that shatter human limits. This armor grants extraordinary strength, flight, energy projection, and cloak capabilities, which cost Bruce dearly as its power feeds on his very life force. To celebrate Batman Day, Hot Toys is proud to unveil the 1/6th scale Batman (XE Suit Hellbat Version) Collectible Figure, a bold fusion that combines the frigid resilience of the XE Suit with the devastating power of the Hellbat armor. This exclusive figure is available in a limited quantity of 2,000 units, exclusively in selected markets. The figure comes with a newly developed helmeted head inspired by the Hellbat design. Standing approximately 33cm tall, this robust figure features nine interchangeable hands, including fists, Batarang holding hands, opened gesture hands, and a telecommunication signal listening gesture hand for immersive posing versatility. The costume is a heavily armored version of the XE Suit enhanced with Hellbat aesthetics, including an electroplated red Bat-Symbol, red-lined details with a specially applied UV luminous reflective effect, plus weathering for that battle-worn look. The suit is completed with a bendable wire embedded black cape and a bold red utility belt. Weapons include Batman’s grapnel gun and two Batarangs, all presented on a specially designed figure stand. This figure captures a rare moment where survival gear meets near-divine might, truly embodying Batman pushing humanity to its limits in pursuit of justice, making it a must-have for Batman collectors! #BatmanDay2025 #BatmanDay #BatmanArkhamOrigins #Batman #XESuitHellbatVersion #DCComics #DC #HotToysCollectibles #SixthScale
  9. Shown below is the new Batman: Arkham Knight - Batgirl (Purple and Gold Version) 1/6th scale collectible figure from Hot Toys. Stay tuned for more details! 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of Sideshow, and Hot Toys is more than thrilled to present the 1/6th scale Batgirl collectible figure based on Batman: Arkham Knight with a new Purple and Gold version, celebrating this remarkable milestone!

Dazzling with new color combination, the figure catches everyone’s eye, dominated by metallic purple. Meanwhile, the gold color on the Bat logo, gauntlets and boots gives the figure a bold presence against the purple suit. Besides the new colorway, the 1/6th scale Batgirl features as well a newly painted cowled head completed by detailed brown red fabric hair; Batsuit with a newly tailored purple cape with yellow lining; Bat gadgets including grapnel gun with Batclaw, Batarangs and a Remote Hacking Device and a specially designed figure stand. Gear up with the 1/6th scale Batgirl (Purple and Gold Version) Collectible Figure to enter the dawn of a new decade with Sideshow!
  10. Shown below is the new Batman: The Killing Joke - The Joker 1/6th scale collectible figure from Hot Toys. Stay tuned for more details! “All it takes is just one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.” - The Joker Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s Batman: The Killing Joke stands as one of the most iconic and unsettling graphic novels in Batman history. With its exploration of the Joker’s origin and twisted philosophy, the story asks a chilling question: Can a single bad day push someone into madness? The Joker stages a horrific carnival as a stage for his dark experiment, kidnapping Commissioner Gordon and brutally testing his sanity. These themes of psychological horror and moral ambiguity have cemented The Killing Joke as the definitive Joker tale. Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/6th scale The Joker Collectible Figure, inspired by the comic Batman: The Killing Joke. The figure includes two newly developed head sculpts equipped with rolling eyeballs, detailed wrinkles, make-up, and meticulously sculpted curly green hair that completes the haunting visage. One head sculpt features an open-mouth grinning expression, with a magnetically attachable tongue; the other has a squinting and grinning expression, with a removable hat that is interchangeable with both head sculpts. The Joker is dressed in his comic-accurate attire, coming with a wire-embedded purple coat and jacket over a yellow waistcoat, black shirt, green ribbon, black belt, and purple pants paired with black shoes. Coming with eight interchangeable gloved hands, collectors are able to pose him with his iconic expressive poses. True to the original panels, his weapons come with a small knife and a pistol that shoots a “Click Click Click” flag. Also included are a camera, a cane, and a Joker card. Completing the setup is a backdrop featuring the comic cover art of Batman: The Killing Joke, which is mountable to the specially designed figure stand. With dual head sculpts, authentic costume detail, and faithful accessories, this figure captures Joker’s twisted elegance. Don’t miss this masterpiece for fans and collectors who seek Gotham’s darkest laugh. #TheJoker #BatmanTheKillingJoke #TheKillingJoke #DCComics #DC #HotToysCollectibles #SixthScale
  11. From Batman and the Outsiders comes Geo-Force! This was made from a custom 3D sculpted kit found on eBay. Love it. Very easy to assemble and takes paint great. More to come from this group.
  12. I'm getting excited for the new Superman movie releasing on July 11th, and thought I would add a few characters and altered looks for the new movie universe. Here's my alternate take on Guy Gardner Green Lantern ( with a look that I think more closely resembles his comic appearance.) and the Batman using the Spinmaster Superman movie figure as a base. I hope you enjoy these two and more from this Universe and others to come.
  13. Shown below is the new Batman: Arkham Origins - Knightfall Batman 1/6th scale collectible figure from Hot Toys. Stay tuned for more details! In Batman: Arkham Origins, an exclusive Knightfall DLC Pack brings the darker side of the Dark Knight to life, with Jean‑Paul Valley’s armored “Knightfall Batman” Batsuit entering Gotham’s prequel storyline as a Skin for the first time in-game. Inspired by medieval knights, the suit features angular, claw-like designs with sharp fins extending from the gauntlets and cowl. This suit delivers a striking blend of his appearance in the comic storyline with selected design elements subtly enhanced and reimagined. Hot Toys proudly introduces the 1/6th scale Knightfall Batman™ Collectible Figure. The figure showcases a masked head sculpt with LED light-up function on the eyes, which amplifies the eerie intensity of Batman’s vigilante gaze. His suit is painted in bold gold and blue tones, enriched by armor pieces that display battle-worn weathering. The suit features LED-lighted large shoulder armor pieces, as well as LED-lighted gauntlets, recreating the suit’s intimidating tech. Completing the fierce silhouette is his blue and red wire-embedded cape, while the yellow waist and thigh pouches accentuate the utility look. For dynamic posing and expression of his ferocity, the figure includes six clawed hands, each designed to bring his menacing presence to life. It comes complete with an attachable grappling hook and a stylish figure base to offer dynamic display options. This visually striking and deeply symbolic figure bridges the legacy of comic lore with the immersive world of gaming, making it a must-have for Batman collectors as it captures the moment when Gotham’s protector nearly became its greatest threat. #Batman #Knightfall #BatmanArkhamOrigins #DCComics #HotToysCollectibles #SixthScale
  14. Shown below is the upcoming officially licensed Batman: Hush - Batman 1/12 scale figure from Gong Studio. Stay tuned for more details!
  15. It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Batman: The Animates Series 1/6 Scale Poison Ivy figure (Timed Edition) from Mondo. Another homerun for that line, and with Ivy being one of my favorite characters from the Animated Series, I might be a little biased! Enjoy extinction, Batman! As usual, the art on the box by Danny Haas is gorgeous. Mondo makes us keep the boxes, yadda yadda (see all previous Mondo Batman: the Animates Series for the same rant!) Pamela Isley, aka Poison Ivy was designed, sculpted and painted by the super talented Tom Rozejowski, with some extra sculpting by Alex Brewer. The standard edition comes with 2 head sculpts, a 6 pairs of hands + an extra hand, her crossbow, potted roses along with a single rose, some other potter plants, a (most likely poisoned) lipstick, a plant heard pod, and a pesticide tank with spray gun. The Timed edition adds 2 extra head sculpts and Ivy's half-human children from the episode 'House and Garden'. This is another fantastic figure from that line, and Tom (Zelu1984) really took special care of her. I've been following Tom for years, when he was posting awesome custom figures of characters that didn't exist in action figure form from the DC Direct Animated Series line all over the Batman: The Animated Series Toy Collectors Facebook group, and seeing him be involved in the making of this figure is something very special. The head sculpts (or portraits, as Mondo calls them) are spot on, and they nailed that likeness on all of them. It's like she came right out of the screen. The hair does hinder neck movement, but she can still hit plenty of poses looking forward. The accessories are also great, with items from various episodes. The half-human baby pods will probably stay in the box though! They are...creepy As usual, biceps and thigh swivels would also have been welcome, but might have not look great on that beautiful sculpt. She really turned out great, I was looking forward to get her. Such a great figure... wait, did she use pheromones on me to get a good review? The next Batman: The Animated Series 1/6 scale figures from Mondo will the gigantic Clayface, which already went up for pre-order. You can still get the standard edition of Poison Ivy from our sponsor BigBagToyStore! You're Just One Big Forgiving Doormat, Aren't You? More news at 11:00...

  16. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Batman: Hush Scarecrow and the Riddler figures from MAFEX. They both came out relatively close from each other, so I decided to group them. MAFEX keeps adding awesome figures to that line, even if those two were a bit short in terms of accessories. Another week, another Scarecrow! Last week, I posted a review of the Batman: The Animated Series Scarecrow figure from Mondo, and this week, it's the Batman: Hush version from MAFEX (Is this a sign that I need therapy?!). Scarecrow didn't appear for long in the Hush comic book, we see him riding Huntress's bike and get rapidly dealt with by Batman. It is nice to have him as part of the rogue's gallery of villains for Batman, still. Scarecrow comes with 3 heads and 4 pairs of hands, and... that's it. It does feel a bit low in terms of what you get compared to the price. However, it is still a gorgeous figure, and might be one wit the most details on (since all the other ones are either superheroes or villains in tight bodysuits or suits). The 3 head sculpts are really nice, I especially like the one where we can see his mouth screaming through the burlap sack mask. The unmasked head, as ugly as it is, is what it looked like in the book. The extra hands are also great for different kinds of creepy poses. It's a good Scarecrow figure, I only wish he had more accessories (gas effect, removable hat,... Hell, why not Huntress's bike, since he's riding it in the comic book). The Riddler is one of the aforementioned figures in a suit. He comes with 2 heads, 7 pairs of hands, his cane, a bag of money and a wad of cash to put in his hand. That's more like it, in terms of accessories! The Riddler was the secret main villain behind everything in the Hush comic book (or the actual main villain in the not-so-great animated movie adaptation. Still trying to wrap my head around why they would do that...). The body is fine (again, figure in a suit, usually hard to miss), but the heads are not great. There's something off with the nose, which looks more 'pointy' on Jim Lee's art, while this one seems to have a flatter nose. It's close enough, and obviously, you recognize it's the Riddler, but the face has bothered me since the promo pics. My figure had a really loose left arm also, which keeps popping off. It is unfortunate, but I'll see if I can figure out something to fix it (or I'll just try to get a replacement). 2 more figures for the MAFEX Batman: Hush line, and I had a theory that this line was 'copying' the same roster as the DC Direct Batman: Hush line from the early 2000s, and we're now down to missing only Ra's Al Ghul, Commissioner Gordon and Alfred. Well, after seeing the reveals from MAFEX at the Medicom Toy Exhibition last year, I can safely say that I was wrong! There are a ton more figures coming, including Robin, Batgirl, Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Ra's Al Ghul and more Batman figures (Battle damaged and 'Reminiscence Blue'). That Batman: Hush shelf is going to look pretty crowded once they are all out! The next figure should be Robin. More news at 11:00... "Riddle me this... Who is that under Batman's Mask?"
  17. It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Batman: The Animated Series 1/6 Scale Scarecrow figure (Limited Edition) from Mondo. This line keeps having bangers after bangers, and Scarecrow is definitely one of them. In fact, it might be my favorite one yet! As is tradition, the packaging has some beautiful art from Danny Haas. Mondo keeps doing that on purpose to make people want to keep their boxes. Scarecrow was designed and sculpted by Alex Brewer and painted by Tom Rozejowski. The Regular version comes with 2 head sculpts or "portraits" (normal and unmasked), 3 pairs of hands + a pair of hands with gas effects, 2 crows, a scythe, a vial of fear toxin and a pocket watch, and the Limited Edition adds 2 extra heads (the first appearance head + a nightmare version) and a Joker rat, from Batman's hallucinations in the episode 'Dreams of Darkness'. Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow is a great figure. It's a bit leaner than the other Mondo Batman: The Animated Series figures and therefore moves a bit better. This figure didn't require any heat for me, and was moving just fine straight outside of the box. The heads and hands are easy to change, and look amazing. Fantastic job by the Mondo team! The only nitpick I would have is that the regular and scary head sculpts are a bit limited in movement due to the hair, so he has to look forward at all times. Not really a deal breaker, but if you plan to pose it looking to the side *menacingly*, he cannot with 2 of the heads (or if you display it a bit on the side, he'll just be staring at Bane's back or the Joker's shoulders). The first appearance head is a nice touch, since it's the first itme we get it in a figure form (the Kenner and DC Direct ones only had the other head). The crows are a nice nod to the original Kenner figure which also came with one. The Joker rat is articulated on the neck and arms and looks very creepy! The next two Batman: The Animated Series 1/6 scale figures from Mondo will be Poison Ivy and a gigantic Clayface, which already went up for pre-order. You can still get the standard edition of Scarecrow from our sponsor BigBagToyStore! More news at 11:00... I am fear incarnate. I am the terror of Gotham. I am the Scarecrow!
  18. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Batman: Arkham Knight - Batman figure from Kaiyodo. By far, the best Amazing Yamaguchi Batman figure (which isn't very hard since the last one had a horrible jigsaw puzzle cape), with the usual Revoltech issues (gaps, limbs popping out,...). Since the Arkham Knight figure from over 2 years ago was a great figure, and the more recent Catwoman figure from that same game was also pretty awesome, I was looking forward for that Batman figure, and it didn't disappoint! The Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi packaging is quite sober, nowadays: Just a grey box with pictures of the figures. Where are the people that used to complain about Hasbro going plastic-free now?? Batman comes with 3 pairs of hands + a hand with the zipline launcher, along with different zipline parts to attach to it, 2 batarangs, 2 data pads (open and closed) with 5 screens to attach to it, and the usual Revoltech stand. The exclusive version available directly from Kaiyodo had an extra face plate, which I think should have been included with the regular version, because it seems pretty low in accessories. Oh well... In terms of articulation, it is your usual Amazing Yamaguchi figure, which means it doesn't look great in a "museum pose" but can have pretty great, dynamic poses (with gaps, and the legs popping out every once in a while...). The figure has a really good soft goods wired cape, with pleather on the outside. You can pose that cape very nicely when you know what you're doing (and it will make you feel stupid when you don't...). The figure also has moving eyes, but I feel like it's a bit of a waste since the 'eye holes' are so tiny, you barely see them. Also, the pupils are just a black dot, while the Catwoman figure had full painted anime looking eyes. I'd say the moving eyes were not super necessary on this one. The accessories, even if they are few, are pretty good. The batarangs look great and the data pad with the interchangeable screens is fun. More news at 11:00... "What are you doing? - Evening the odds."
  19. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at 1/6 scale Bane figure from Batman: The Animated Series by Mondo. Another awesome addition to the line, Bane is a big, beefy (and heavy!) figure, and the timed edition comes with the best, most fun accessory ever: a whole torso of Bane overdosing on venom! As usual, the packaging has some awesome art from Danny Haas. I am convinced Mondo does it on purpose to make people who discard their boxes feel bad. They take a ton of space, but I still have all of them! Bane comes with 3 head sculpts (normal, angry and yelling), 4 pairs of hands, a barbell weight and a crushed batarang, and the Timed Edition adds the unmasked head, the mask to go with it, and the huge, muscular, overdosing torso (with heads and hands). The figure looks stunning, the skin color tends to look a bit too yellow on some pictures but looks great in person. I had to heat the figure up a little, especially to the elbows and shoulders, which were stuck at first. The articulation is on par with other Mondo Batman: The Animated Series figures, so not optimal, but it's not a brick either. Bane is a bit taller than the other figures (standing at 13.2"). The overdosing torso is absurdly fun (that is not a sentence I expected to ever say!). I have been using the picture of that face as a reaction online for a week! The next two Batman: The Animated Series 1/6 scale figures from Mondo will be Poison Ivy and the Scarecrow, which already went up for pre-order. There is also a Clayface figure that was revealed at conventions this year. Additionally, Mondo just teased the Batman Beyond figure, which will be up for pre-order at the end of the week (Friday, Nov 8th). You can still get the standard edition of Bane from our sponsor BigBagToyStore! More news at 11:00... You can't do this to me! I am invincible! I AM BANE!
  20. It's Wednesday, and you know what that means... ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at all things DC Multiverse Batman Forever from McFarlane Toys. This is another special one for ToyFarce, another review over 3 years in the making after 'leaking' the Batman Forever and Batman and Robin waves in 2021, everybody laughed then, and here they are now. I grabber the whole wave that comes with a Collect-to-Build Nightmare Bat (the bat from the infamous deleted scene), as well as the Batmobile which came with Alfred! First off, Batman as portrayed by Val Kilmer. The figure is pretty similar to the one that came in the Ultimate Movie Collection 6-pack, which was perfection. This one has a few tweaks to differentiate it, though, like the gloves and boots being a different color. I imagine it's to make sure the people that bought the Ultimate 6-pack don't get mad, just like they had tweaked the Clooney Batman figure before that. The likeness on this figure is amazing. He comes with an extra pair of hands, a batarang, a sonar batarang, a grapnel launcher and the head of the Nightmare Bat, along with a stand for it. The soft goods cape is not wired, which I assume is for him to sit in the Batmobile. A gorgeous figure. Robin, played by Chris O'Donnell, also looks pretty good. The colors on that suit really pop. The likeness is really spot on, just like the Batman and Robin one. He comes with a beautiful wired cape, 2 extra pairs of hands and a wing for the Nightmare Bat. That cape is super fun to pose. Two-Face, played by Tommy Lee Jones, doesn't come with a lot of stuff: only 2 extra hands, both with trigger finger, while the figure doesn't come with any guns... (McFarlane Munition Pack to the rescue!). He also comes with the other wing for the Nightmare Bat. The likeness is pretty good too, and the details on the suit are awesome. Last but not least, the Riddler figure, played by Jim Carrey, has to be my favorite from this wave. The likeness is pretty good, he's so goofy looking! I played with him the most while taking pictures. He comes with an extra pair of hands, a riddler bat bomb, a very gummy cane (a bit of a bummer, it would have ruled if it was solid), and the body of the Nightmare Bat. It's such a great toy! The Nightmare Bat, albeit being only in a deleted scene, looks very good in figure form. The mouth is articulated. It has a gread stand holding it nice and tight in a flying pose. The wing span is huge, like NECA's Gargoyles figures, and it will be a pain in the butt to display... Speaking of pain in the butt to display... The Batmobile from Batman Forever is one of my favorite designs (after the 89 Batmobile and the Animated Series one), and I've always wanted to have a big, nice version of it. It lights up and even has some sounds (the sound of it starting up, with the lights blinking). The cockpit opens and you can put your Batman Forever Batman figure inside (hence the cape not being wired). The only issue with it is that the fin is obnoxiously long (which is part of the original design), and this thing takes a lot of space. I have no idea how I will display it... Yay! As a bonus, the Batmobile comes with an Alfred Pennyworth figure, which is like a cherry on top. Michael Gough played Alfred alongside Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney, so having a figure of him is pretty sweet. This completes the Batman Forever display, hitting us right in the nostalgia. More news at 11:00... Baaaabyyyy! I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey...
