I like the Nightwing despite Todd not giving his very own eschrima sticks which he should have already come with anyway, But to me, I will only get Nightwing and Donna Troy because her face sculpt looks beautiful and strong, Overall,. Awesome review on this whole fun Titans wave Brad.
Fantastic review. Both my wife and oldest daughter loved the look of Donna Troy, so I had to go out and pick up 2 more. Then the wife snuck out to grab Raven. So now I got Beast Boy Parts everywhere. 😅
Why release a titan's wave and then make The characters look from different eras? That drives me mad. I want a full team I can stand together in a cohesive display!
I personally love the nightwing head sculpt because if your a superhero fighting crime all the time you will be sweating and that’s how it looks so I love it
I recently found this out a few months ago (or I kept forgetting) Nightwing’s Escrima sticks are Filipino. I’m half Filipino. No wonder why after Bruce he’s my 2nd favorite 😂
Like the one we were promised just before Mattel lost the license, and got “bumped” at last minute for another Bat-CnC for a direct to dvd movie that bombed? Yeah, that was cool. 🙄
@@brainlock72 you're telling me. Wanted that Mammoth so bad, and would have fit that, in my opinion solid wave. That Mattel Beast Boy is still a great figure whose only major flaw was single jointed elbows.
The Nightwing's decent but for me the only reason to get it might be for the BAF Beast Boy parts. I have a few other Nightwings so I'll probably end up putting one of those with my Titans line up and using this one for custom fodder. But overall this line looks great, especially the Donna Troy & Arsenal figures. And that BAF Beast Boy looks awesome!
Ravens costume is the rebirth design from the hips up but I think todd got to the legs and just gave up. The figure isn't accurate to anything but if you ignore the legs its the rebirth design.
I think you put the arms on backwards, I almost did the same thing but you can look at the way the forearm curves. It should curve in but yours curves out also the thicker hair should go on the outside
Yoooo they really need to retool and reuse that Arsenal body, the Death Metal Ace West body and that Tim Drake Robin body, they look great and have really good articulation ALSO they need to start doing that giant Beast Boy style ankle hinge!! And maybe also his wrist hinge if they modify it to not stick out as much
I got this set and I'm totally going to repaint most of them, raven's bow black wash, metallic red for gems. beast boy Green wash arms Donna Troy silver and black wash, hair black wash arsenal metallic red bow, leather brown contrast nightwing... bin lol
I'll be curious to know your thoughts on the McFarlane batmobile. I bought it, like it, love it even but it's not worth 60 bucks MSRP. Undersized for 7 inch but great for 6 inch. I can fit a custom Keaton batman (body base is 80th anniversary Mattel batman DC multiverse) and the 04 Mattel Robin in the cockpit. But the lack of pop out guns or some other extra features is glaring
Nightwing is usually listed as being 5'10 & 175 lbs while Jason stands at 6'0 & 200 lbs.... So Dick's smaller stature here works. As for the Size of this NW figure compared to the Mcfarlane Tim Drake... I feel like the problem lies with the Robin figure. He's a freaking line backer. Far too tall and burly all around. Regardless of all that.... Great video. Really enjoy your stuff! Thanks for this. I'll be getting the whole wave.
I think people look at the old Nightwing through rose-coloured glasses. You're right... he is giant. plus he has weirdly thin legs with goofy ball ankles.
Red Hood is supposed to be a little bit taller than Nightwing, so I'd say scaling is right. I wish he came with escrima sticks tho. Also Raven's suit is the exact one from 2016 Teen Titans run from rebirth.
I love this wave, flaws be darned. I took Nightwing's head and put it on the Amazon Bat-Family Nightwing body. I miss the arm stripes, but he was too tiny otherwise. And no weapons was a dopey choice.
I was excited for this wave, but seeing in hand reviews, I’m hoping I can score the Beast BAF for a decent price. Nightwing- I’m a True Blue WingNut, but I can paint his blue red and pretend he’s NightTIM/Redwing or something. Donna- as played by Hannah Waddingham? Has she even had a consistent style in nu52 DC? If I don’t like her grey covered up in black, she’s getting painted purple for Power Princess. Raven - I don’t even know who she is, anymore. Goth Satanist, but also butterflies? 😂 Arsenal - Arse is right. Looks like some club kid cosplay on leather night, here. (And I know gay people into clubbing and leather and RHPS. The only thing missing is Donna’s 4” heels.) CHANGELING - it’s got Pérez art and this red/white look is CHANGELING. Beast Boy is purple/black. Altho, mine is GREY. Seen him at three other WALMART (NOT TARGET) stores, and they are all GREY and red. 🤦♂️🙄🤬 BEAST BAF - I’m seeing X-Men’s Beast (or Sabretooth?) getting some customs from this. Maybe a few Amalgam Beastlings? And Hulkling. The only one worth really getting for this lifetime NTT fan. I feel scammed on the Flash BAF wave, as Blue Wally is the only decent one there, imo. I just saw on Farcebork that someone turned that BAF flash into a Carnage custom. Symbiote was the only thing I could think of with that thing, too. And I’m NOT a Venom fan. I wouldn’t even know the Aquaman wave hit, if I didn’t see a SWAPPED FortNite kitbashed Kaldur at Target. 🤬🤬🖕🖕 And just saw a swapped FP Aquaman for another newer fig at Target with the new FP Superman. And BAF Cyborg has gun arms. There goes THAT idea. 🙄
Several thoughts: 1- Brad made me laugh with the cleavage joke of the Donna figure. 2- The Nightwing figure is pretty bad. And that´s a first for McFarlane. From the body to the face and the fact that he doesn´t come with his weapons. 3- I´m glad that McFarlane gave the chance to people to get a regular Beast Boy if they did not want to invest in the whole team. 4- Maybe a Mega Trigon will come soon. 5- I´d like McFarlane to do a New 52 Raven. I did like that costume.
Marvel....no again. A Doctor Doom without cape that nobody want to buy Captain Marvel?. 60 dollars?. No. I'm very tired of being scammed again and again.
And…MCFarlane MCs tweed the pooch again! Horrible looking ankles and exposed wrists joints, along with awful arm joints that are just too block!! Good Grapes! How is this man still making figures?!? McFarlane, Mcretire already 😒😏

McFarlane needs to make a basic Green Arrow
and a Black Canary!

We still don't have a Starfire.

Bish bish bish...🙄
@maximusprime3459 no this literally makes sense
Line of the day, "So I'm actually okay with this Dicks' articulation."
Well Nightwing is 5'10 and a acrobat so the slender body makes sense kind of and so does the height.
agreed. He's canonically smaller and lighter than Jason.
Man, Brad puts in a lot of work on his vids. Much appreciated.
I personally love the nightwing head sculpt because if your a superhero fighting crime all the time you will be sweating and that’s how it looks so I love it
Red hood is actually taller than Nightwing in the comics. He’s listed as 6’0 and Nightwing is 5’10
And much thicker. Jason's about 230lbs
One new thing I noticed that I don't think you mentioned, is the paint going over some of the pegs when the arm or leg has a stripe. That's nice!
I recently found this out a few months ago (or I kept forgetting) Nightwing’s Escrima sticks are Filipino. I’m half Filipino. No wonder why after Bruce he’s my 2nd favorite 😂
To me, that Beast Boy looks like parts of him could be used for a Mammoth figure in the future.
Like the one we were promised just before Mattel lost the license, and got “bumped” at last minute for another Bat-CnC for a direct to dvd movie that bombed? Yeah, that was cool. 🙄

oh good nightwing doesnt come with his sticks, I thought I lost them when I opened him yesterday!
Has McFarlane done a starfire fig? Yeah im having a flashback to wolfman/perez Titans ❤
Nightwing is canonically only 5'10 so this smaller figure actually works really well
it's true.
Yeah, but Donna looks about 6’4” next to him. 🤦♂️
The Nightwing's decent but for me the only reason to get it might be for the BAF Beast Boy parts.

This is the first in a long time I ordered the whole set, mainly for the BAF. That Beast Boy is awesome. Donna Troy is another winner.
He is smaller then SIGNAL ❤……..SIGNAL IS SHARP ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish donna's armor and weapons looked more metallic instead of flat grey
👍
I’ve found that with some of the McFarlane build a figures if you just push with a lot of force they will snap in, my Grundy had that specifically.
Be a man and tell mcfarlane has a issue with height consistency. It's not hard. Just say it when it's wrong bro
I think you put the arms on backwards, I almost did the same thing but you can look at the way the forearm curves. It should curve in but yours curves out also the thicker hair should go on the outside
Yoooo they really need to retool and reuse that Arsenal body, the Death Metal Ace West body and that Tim Drake Robin body, they look great and have really good articulation
ALSO they need to start doing that giant Beast Boy style ankle hinge!! And maybe also his wrist hinge if they modify it to not stick out as much
Great review, Brad! Love the haircut you gave Dick’s bangs!
I got this set and I'm totally going to repaint most of them,
raven's bow black wash, metallic red for gems.
beast boy Green wash arms
Donna Troy silver and black wash, hair black wash
arsenal metallic red bow, leather brown contrast
nightwing... bin lol
I think his eyes are meant to be that way. Like a raised eyebrow if that makes sense.
Where is the original Aqualad and Cyborg?
Mr. Dresssssssssup!!!!!
Best.
Nice 😎
Where is the jewel in Ravens forehead
I was waiting for this review! Thanks
😮
That Tim Drake is still way too huge imo.
Can you swap the beast boy heads?
I'll be curious to know your thoughts on the McFarlane batmobile. I bought it, like it, love it even but it's not worth 60 bucks MSRP. Undersized for 7 inch but great for 6 inch.

Arsenal is probably my least favorite character of the bunch but I think its the best action figure for sure.
Nightwing is usually listed as being 5'10 & 175 lbs while Jason stands at 6'0 & 200 lbs.... So Dick's smaller stature here works.

Sigh... I hate when nightwing figures lack escrima sticks and the compartments for gear on his wrists and shins. Ugh.
I know you love DC, but do you collect any other lines?
Awesome review😊
I love the Character of Donna Troy, but McFarlane Mcfucked her up to, but she is waaaay better than NightWing. Which, is not saying much.
*what McFarlane Flash would make a good substitute for a Wally West Flash?*
I was thinking Rebirth Flash and just paint his eyes white and customize the belt area
Jon Kent had more attention to detail than this Knightwing. He's OK,but he should gotten his own buck.
The old nightwing is the the giant one, remember on release he was taller than batman wl and supes, this one needs sticks
I think people look at the old Nightwing through rose-coloured glasses. You're right... he is giant. plus he has weirdly thin legs with goofy ball ankles.
@@HalbardadsHobbying agree
Why on earth would McFarland remove raven hand and use the peg for her accessories, it looks like she doesn't have a hand.🤦
Red Hood is supposed to be a little bit taller than Nightwing, so I'd say scaling is right. I wish he came with escrima sticks tho. Also Raven's suit is the exact one from 2016 Teen Titans run from rebirth.
Gawd, Roy stays getting screwed over...that costume is so bad. Whoever thought the baseball cap looked cool on Arsenal needs to be done away with...
AFTER SO LONG I GOT THE INJUSTICE DR FATE
Nice review Brad, are you planning to get the Mafex Hush Nightwing?
what head did you use on that superboy? i got to know
I actually like Raven! And her dark colored arms hide the hideous engineering wry well! I my actually purchase this one!
Fantastic thumbnail Brad!
I love this wave, flaws be darned. I took Nightwing's head and put it on the Amazon Bat-Family Nightwing body. I miss the arm stripes, but he was too tiny otherwise. And no weapons was a dopey choice.
Dont know about your Nightwings eyes are way off center not to mention his tiny child fists
Would have been great.if that would arrives tocrest of the world. Because that reason a lot of collectors finish to colect
I was excited for this wave, but seeing in hand reviews, I’m hoping I can score the Beast BAF for a decent price.
Nightwing- I’m a True Blue WingNut, but I can paint his blue red and pretend he’s NightTIM/Redwing or something.

Wow, holy McShit! McFarlane nailed the Beast 😮! He actually did it!!! Ok, awesome! Now how do I get the beast without getting the other figures?🤔🤭😅
Ymca😂😂😂

Night Wing looks God awful
That Nightwing is a contender for worst figure of the year
Marvel....no again. A Doctor Doom without cape that nobody want to buy Captain Marvel?. 60 dollars?. No. I'm very tired of being scammed again and again.
McFarlane Mcsucks at action figures!!!
And…MCFarlane MCs tweed the pooch again! Horrible looking ankles and exposed wrists joints, along with awful arm joints that are just too block!! Good Grapes! How is this man still making figures?!? McFarlane, Mcretire already 😒😏
