Great car vid! I have to get one! Not as sure about the figures, as they look so....toy like. But that is your turf! Glad you have so much new to play with! Can you believe all this love? So sorry ole Joel isn't around to see all this!

I honestly love the new one better than the original Kenner released in 1995 due to it being more movie accurate. I hated the split fin at the top for some reason. I never knew about the 3 vehicle version until years later.

Do you know if the wings from the single release kenner batwing will fit into this?

Luckily I managed to get all the figures and the Batmobile at Target. Though they are overall disappointing figures…I’m absolutely thrilled that there has been so much new Batman Forever merchandise over the last year. Great idea on the blue lighting as that’s the only drawback of the wonderful Mcfarlane vehicle including Alfred. Great video as always. Looking forward to your reviews on the rest of the Spin Master figures when you get them!

Thanks for reviewing this, bud! I'm so glad there's still a continuing influx of Batman Forever merchandise.

Very awesome my friend. Definitely a cool comparison and a awesome review. Definitely brings back memories of having these toys when I was a kid. Hope all is well with you hope you and the family are doing well stay awesome my friend take care

I didn't know that they were using the old Kenner scale for these Forever figures & Batmobile, that's awesome. I thought McFarlane had that size locked down due to Super Powers. I wish they'd made that decision before the '89 Batwing they released last year because I need to keep that thing quite a ways away from the Kenner stuff to not look tiny. I suppose they wanted to keep it roughly in scale with the matching Batmobile they released in the Flash movie line. The figure choices they made are quite bizarre, though, since I'm certain none of the original tooling still exists and they recreated the figures from scratch. As you pointed out they replicated the wrong Batman, but also the wrong Robin and the lesser of the Riddlers. I wish toy companies were more willing to chat about these kinds of decisions.

Really cool! I've seen some videos that customize their vehicle with neon blue lighting. I always think of the Michael Hutchence cover "The Passenger" when I see this Batmobile roll in action.

Great review. I've seen the car at Targets but not the figures.

You need to do a story time video of your history with Batman Forever! Your first time seeing it and why you like the film so much. Would love to hear your thoughts

Ordered mine from Amazon and it says it's being delivered in July?!

I love your videos and sometimes I wish you had a 1992 Batman channel with all the animated Batman stuff on it 😭

Are you going the a single card figures of Batman Robin riddler and Harvey Two-Face

the giant Bat, via a theory is Man-Bat. there's his scene with the name Bruce vs man-bat or something, but it's said to be a reference of that character. but was deleted as people would HAVE THOUGHT Manbat was in the film

Did you buy them in package or loose?

Perception: frozen henchman. Reality: shelf warmer.

Remember my story about when I almost met Arnold Schwarzenegger so I could get him to sign my Mr. Freeze action figure? I'm still hoping one day I'll get him to sign that figure and this Funko pop. Someday...

Will Friedle, but he seems more like a Terry McGinnis to me 😜

It sounds a little weird to say this, but in 1997 Joseph Gordon Levitt would have been perfect.

Brandis is a great choice if you really have to go much younger but Chris was a great choice. There are 17 year olds who do look late 20s due to their hard excercise regiment

Depp

a nobody actor

Well as dick greyson was supposed to be 11 in the comics Alan Richards , or Kevin ziggers

❤🎉

He's already been mentioned in the comments, and it's the least inspired choice ever, but I could see Edward Furlong being cast as Dick Grayson/Robin in the mid-'90s. I would understand, let's say, if Warner Bros. wanted a "name" actor (given that 1995 was only a few years removed from _Terminator 2: Judgment Day_ being released), and Furlong was probably the most prolific teenage actor at the time. Studios want things that audiences are familiar with, and casting someone who had already played a rebellious kid in a gigantic summer blockbuster that's still discovering his place in the world (or finding his potential, in Grayson's case) is the safe decision for WB. The question is if Furlong would have had the acting chops to pull off the more dramatic scenes in _Batman Forever_ (like in the alleyway when Grayson unleashes his anger on Batman for not stopping Two-Face, and then the follow-up to that in the Batcave.) I don't think so. The only issue I ever had with the adult-aged Chris O'Donnell being cast as Dick Grayson is the fact Bruce Wayne makes a non-incapacitated adult his ward. That's the knock on O'Donnell. Even though _Batman Forever_ hits all the beats of a good Robin origin story, his adult appearance unfortunately makes that earnestness a bit comical. (I also agree with Kevin Smith from his commentary all those years that having a teenage-aged actor play Robin would have made the ending, when Batman catches Robin from falling in Claw Island, a lot more inpactful.) That said, O'Donnell did a good job holding his own and carrying the emotional weight needed for the character in the film. Ultimately, the character being a ward (and being played by an adult no less) is what separates him from the first couple of live-action Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire, for example, looked older in 2000-'02 than how O'Donnell looked in 1994-'95 (even though the two were about the same age in those respective years when their movies were being filmed). However, while it looks silly that Maguire was playing a high school senior/college freshman in the first _Spider-Man_ film, it had long been the norm that you cast actors in their 20s or even 30s to play younger (since there are labor laws to abide by for actors under the age of 18). Tom Holland was the first time a live-action Spider-Man actually looked like a high schooler (when the character is still in high school), and it obviously helped that he was cast when he was only 19. That, and the fact his first five appearances in the M.C.U. were completed by the time Holland was still only 22-23 in real life.

Tom Holland may be an interesting fit.

Hard to think of anyone but Chris in the role but DiCaprio would have been about 20 in 1994 when they were filming so….it would have to be him! I never liked the idea of Robin being a child in the comics though. I personally like that Chris looked older. It’ll be interesting to see how old Damian Wayne will be when he is cast for Brave and the Bold.

Ever since customizing my 1/6 scale Mr Freeze, I have wanted to try to snag one of these for my display. So nice to see one intact and how it all works and all. I loved that fanciful location in the movie, and really need to snag one of these mini sets. Great vid as always and thanks for getting in there and showing this one off!

Ed Furlong

Spider Smith figure triggers major trypophobia

I want to buy them

I kinda prefered Robin being older. Also, probably the only young actor i could think at that tme could resemble robin might have been Elijah Wood

I don't have a problem with the age. Bruce and Dick had a brotherly relationship. This made much more challenging in their relationship, as mentoring a grown man, and swaying him away from vengeance is more challenging than if he was a child.

I''ve no problem with the way they went, but if they had gone for someone in their early teens, ironically in 1994 Joseph Gordon Levitt would have been a decent choice

Nobody, for me Chris O'Donnell is the best pick,still my favorite Robin...i like you support Batman Forever, it's the perfect Batman movie for me... along with Batman Returns and Batman Dark Knight my absolute favorite movie.

I recall reading or hearing an interview about Joel having Corey Haim in mind for Robin, because he had previously worked with Corey on The Lost Boys. But at the time of Batman Forever, Corey was a big drug addict, and Joel had said that he'd need to stop that if he wanted the role. But apparently Corey couldn't stop and his career and life went way downhill. I think Corey could've been great as Robin, he was an awesome young actor. However, I'm more than fine with Chris' portrayal of the character.

Dont know if its true but always remember the story about it being between Odonnel and Dicaprio, that apparently they did a survey thing with a bunch of kids and the kids said Leonardo is a wimp Chris would kick his butt so they went with Odonnell 😂

It's a shame what happened to Johnathan Brandis... 😢 Loved him in IT 🤡🎈

Steve Urkell.

This is why I'm not a casting directior. I can't make decisions. I know Marlon Wayans had arragements during Returns' pre-production, but he's only a couple of years younger than Chris; so I think the too-old criticisim would still apply. I recently saw Chris in the movie "Circle of Friends" he did shortly before he did Batman Forever. He also did another movie with Drew Barrymore right before they shot for Batman as well.

I had no problem with Robin being older.

I also had no issue with Chris O’Donnell as Robin but given the question I’d pick Rider Strong who would’ve been about 16 at the time. He played Sean on Boy Meets World where I think he showed he had the attitude for Dick Greyson pretty down

Just found about this product and was sure to find the review on this great channel :) I was wondering if you have the MiniCo Batman figure? ++

4:01 Always thought this may be when Dick ran the Batmobile through town, ''the other car, Sir'' scene.

Should have been Keaton. The chopping and changing of 3 different Bruce's with the same Alfred feels weird.

7:28 may be from earlier, when they met before Batman goes after Two-Face.

PSYCHED to 'read' this - keep up the good work!

I think that lowering function on the telescope might be simulating when it chrashes through the building at the end of the movie, I wanted to add that function on my lego MOC of the building but it would be too complicated .
