I don't care this Adam West Batman figure looks so really good I mean the sculpt, design, and Adam West's likness is spot on while looking great with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson Batman in a live action Batman evolution collection, Great review overall on him Jason.
5:23 I think that hand is supposed to be the hand that he uses when he's thinking. At least, that's how I'm using it and it works pretty well for that.
In the Show the Cowl,Gloves and Trunks were a Purple Blue then went more Purple during the three Seasons and movie. The Cape was a shiny blue. Go look at the Hot Toys Adam West Batman. The color contrast is correct.
Another great video! I love how you show figures with other figures for reference! This helps so much in a lot of ways. As for the cape, I simply trimmed mine without taking the head off. Worked ok for me. By trimming I was also able to add more scallops which somehow makes it better looking also. Love your Playability scale of 5! Yes! This is the one figure I probably PLAY with the most! How can you not?! He simply rocks! Thanks again for another super review!
I'm a recently new subscriber, Jason, but I throughly enjoy your comprehensive and honest reviews and always look forward to them. Thank you and keep up the awesome!
Ha! Great minds. Posted our look at this guy (and the Platinum) around the same time, and we share some of the same thoughts. Great review! Cape swap looks much better on both figures.
Amazing video as always ! waiting for the repaint! I really want to do it on my figure but scared I might messed it up. The armored batman should the one be voted for the toy of the year if it only was release earlier
For figs I've gotten in hand, my vote for Toy if the Year is a toss up between the new ML Angel and Mafex Bane from Knightfall. Both felt OH SO GOOD. And yes, bring on Vs 60s Batmen!
McFarlane being nominated for action figure of the year is wild. He also sent out emails to people in his mailing list to vote for it. So he is going to win unopposed.
I was disappointed with this one so I bought Neca’s version. Even though the elbows and knees have limited articulation - I love it! The likeness is amazing. Thanks for showing the cape swap and I’d check out that repaint video!
I know it'll NEVER happen, but I would love some company to make Action Figures of Kirk Alyn and George Reeves Superman, Robert Lowery and Lewis Wilson Batmans. We've got figures for nearly every other live-action incarnation. It'd be nice to have a set of all of them.
I wish NECA could produce more of their 60s Batman, because the details were incredible. And yes, the belt buckle should have an etched bat logo, which the NECA figure recreated nicely with a paint app. It looks like the collar of the cowl goes down a bit far on the McFarlane, as well. Basically, it looks like what I expected. Decent for the price, but that's it.
I'd watch the repainting video. Don't know if other people would be interested but I really enjoy the results when customizing McFarlane figures and this one could easily be fixed
Not sure why but that headsculpt isnt doing it for me, but id fosho be interested to see u repaint this fig. And id really be interested to see more mods/custom vids from u too
I swear your headsclupt has its right eye miss painted for almost the entire video except with the cape swap. Tell me you got two copies, one for review and one for cape customs, and I can sleep better at night... Also, I'll be here for any Adam West videos!
I would like to see a vs video between this Batman figure against the NECA Adam West Batman figure and the Mattel 6 in Adam West Batman figure and the McFarland 6-inch retro Adam West Batman figure Adam West isn't my favorite Batman (that title goes to DCAU Batman) but I would like to see that video
Do you have plans on reviewing The Batman Noel or Batman by Norm Breyfogle next and plz compare each of them to Superman alright do you also have plans on reviewing Superman blue or red just because?
Yeah, was going to do the Norm one this past week but I want to make that a big head swap video and just didn't have the time. Hopefully next week. I still have not received Noel or the glider version. Probably will get to Superman Blue because I want to finish building Plastic Man.
Off topic but do you plan on covering the recent Marvel Select Captain America? I think a Versus with that a comparable DCM Collectors Edition would be very interesting.
I have seen a bunch of them as well. In fair the one with the short cape I swapped with, is an extra I picked up in the middle of editing and shooting this video.
I've seen a few Batarang '66 prop replicas, and that hole is accurate and definitely for a rope. I have one other little problem with the figure that wasn't mentioned. The "rotator cuffs" in his shoulders are a pair of rings. They're very loose, shift around a lot, and will leave big visible gaps in the joint that look very unsightly. Maybe the looseness is preferable than having them so tight that they rub against the joint, but it still irks me that they're so loose.
I agree--how is this a Toy of the Year contender in any category? For Adam West I think it's a decent figure, but figures like Jonah Hex blow it out of the water.
@ now for the follow up question, how? Like no offense to dc multiverse I just felt like there could’ve been so much better figures out there. heck there are figures in the line that could be better. Not even mentioning big companies like mafex Sh figure arts. Or maybe even marvel legends.
Psst.... the "toy of the year" nominations and awards really are meaningless, mostly just manufacturers and advertisers picking something that they think sells well and has broad pop culture appeal so they can give it the little emblem on the Amazon page. Its why Lego always picks a 40-50 pop culture set to be its "toy of the year" nominee rather than anything bigger or more complex
I bought this because he could do the Batoosey, but other than that it is pretty meh. The likeness is terrible, and I feel like less articulation would have been better in this situation. My smaller Adam West Batman is way better imo. If you like this then I'm happy you're happy, but for me it's a disappointment. Definitely not figure of the year, not even McFarlane figure of the year... also, the cape is ridiculous.
Nah, don't think this is toy of the year, best batman action figure? Perhaps, but not overall figure, the sonic 3 ones are much better for way less, ofc if you only mean mcfarlane and not in general

A video about customization? Fixing the cape? Figure painting? Yes please
I don't care this Adam West Batman figure looks so really good I mean the sculpt, design, and Adam West's likness is spot on while looking great with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson Batman in a live action Batman evolution collection, Great review overall on him Jason.
"Batman credit-taker, Bob Kane" ... Yes! This is the kind of snark I live for
I was hoping that bit of sass would be appreciated
More Adam West videos? Yes please!
Adam West VS Video? I'll stay tuned in for that! Same bat-time! Same bat-channel!
Oh yes, I would love to see a versus of all the Adam West Batmen, especially if you can do some toy photography of them all breaking it down.
5:23 I think that hand is supposed to be the hand that he uses when he's thinking. At least, that's how I'm using it and it works pretty well for that.
In the Show the Cowl,Gloves and Trunks were a Purple Blue then went more Purple during the three Seasons and movie. The Cape was a shiny blue. Go look at the Hot Toys Adam West Batman. The color contrast is correct.
This figure upsets me.
Loving the Vid btw 👏👏👏
Thanks!
So fun!
Glad Macfarlane made a more articulated version of West’s Batman for those who want it

Thanks so much, I appreciate it (and dig the Dallas love)
@5POAFigureReviews you're very welcome and Dallas was a staple in my household back in the day...as well as Knots Landing!
I believe that your copy had a bad head sculpt in my opinion because the one I saw was so much better and well painted
I'm always down to see customs. So I'd like to see what you cook up with this repaint :)
Ha! Great minds. Posted our look at this guy (and the Platinum) around the same time, and we share some of the same thoughts. Great review! Cape swap looks much better on both figures.
I was happy to get this. It’s definitely better articulation than the retro version. The retro figures are great and to have dioramas for them too.
100% would like to see an Adam West VS, and your repaint results.
I’m excited for that repaint. The year ain’t over and might as well continue the search. But yes, looking forward to the next video super friends👌👌👌
Amazing video as always ! waiting for the repaint! I really want to do it on my figure but scared I might messed it up.
The armored batman should the one be voted for the toy of the year if it only was release earlier
A reissue of this figure should include the punch sounds. POW! ZAM! KAPOW!
For figs I've gotten in hand, my vote for Toy if the Year is a toss up between the new ML Angel and Mafex Bane from Knightfall. Both felt OH SO GOOD.
And yes, bring on Vs 60s Batmen!
Would definitely be interested in seeing a versus, any excuse to get more Adam West Batman
McFarlane being nominated for action figure of the year is wild. He also sent out emails to people in his mailing list to vote for it. So he is going to win unopposed.
It would be awesome a Adam west comparison vídeo, and a custom vídeo woulde be Very aprecianted too. Btw, keep on whit the excelent work
I was disappointed with this one so I bought Neca’s version. Even though the elbows and knees have limited articulation - I love it! The likeness is amazing. Thanks for showing the cape swap and I’d check out that repaint video!

Nobody messes with Adam We.
Not sure why but that headsculpt isnt doing it for me, but id fosho be interested to see u repaint this fig. And id really be interested to see more mods/custom vids from u too
LETS GO ADAM WEST!!❤❤
Turbines to speed!
While his colors are off, his face sculpt is good and he is the best balanced McFarlane figure I've seen.
Yeah I'm overall happy with the sculpt. Some nitpicks but it's decent
I swear your headsclupt has its right eye miss painted for almost the entire video except with the cape swap. Tell me you got two copies, one for review and one for cape customs, and I can sleep better at night... Also, I'll be here for any Adam West videos!
Good catch! You're absolutely right
I would like to see a vs video between this Batman figure against the NECA Adam West Batman figure and the Mattel 6 in Adam West Batman figure and the McFarland 6-inch retro Adam West Batman figure
Adam West isn't my favorite Batman (that title goes to DCAU Batman) but I would like to see that video
Do you have plans on reviewing The Batman Noel or Batman by Norm Breyfogle next and plz compare each of them to Superman alright do you also have plans on reviewing Superman blue or red just because?
Yeah, was going to do the Norm one this past week but I want to make that a big head swap video and just didn't have the time. Hopefully next week. I still have not received Noel or the glider version. Probably will get to Superman Blue because I want to finish building Plastic Man.
@5POAFigureReviews Alright do a comparison to him with Norm Bats
Off topic but do you plan on covering the recent Marvel Select Captain America? I think a Versus with that a comparable DCM Collectors Edition would be very interesting.
This and the black&white version are all over in Galveston and League City Targets. If y'all can I'd recommend checking them out.
I have seen a bunch of them as well. In fair the one with the short cape I swapped with, is an extra I picked up in the middle of editing and shooting this video.
I've seen a few Batarang '66 prop replicas, and that hole is accurate and definitely for a rope.
I have one other little problem with the figure that wasn't mentioned. The "rotator cuffs" in his shoulders are a pair of rings. They're very loose, shift around a lot, and will leave big visible gaps in the joint that look very unsightly. Maybe the looseness is preferable than having them so tight that they rub against the joint, but it still irks me that they're so loose.
Very true.
I agree--how is this a Toy of the Year contender in any category? For Adam West I think it's a decent figure, but figures like Jonah Hex blow it out of the water.
If you pause it during the comparisons, the NECA figure still nails it.
i want to see the reeves superman with the west batman.
I think the Armored Batman from BvS should had been nominated instead.
Best Mcfarlane figure this year, imho, is Captain Carrot
Repaint!!! I guess if there was a comic batman head in that color it'd be a cool swap
Is toy of the year a thing within dc multiverse or does it consist of all figures?
No it's an industry-wide thing done by the toy foundation, and is an award ceremony that kicks off the international Toy Fair every year
@ now for the follow up question, how? Like no offense to dc multiverse I just felt like there could’ve been so much better figures out there. heck there are figures in the line that could be better. Not even mentioning big companies like mafex Sh figure arts. Or maybe even marvel legends.
Psst.... the "toy of the year" nominations and awards really are meaningless, mostly just manufacturers and advertisers picking something that they think sells well and has broad pop culture appeal so they can give it the little emblem on the Amazon page.

Definitely not figure of the year, not even McFarlane figure of the year... also, the cape is ridiculous.
That toy of the year award is such a sham.
Day 20 of asking a review on MAFEX Hush nightwing
Before watching the review I'm gonna say no it's not TOTY quality it's just nostalgia, edit will be added here if I change my mind 😂
I am not predicting an edit from you lol
@5POAFigureReviews You must be clairvoyant
the shoulders bother me
Repaint it
Who's calling this toy of the year?
I'm guessing McFarlane nominated it. It's a thing by the Toy Foundation.
Nah, don't think this is toy of the year, best batman action figure? Perhaps, but not overall figure, the sonic 3 ones are much better for way less, ofc if you only mean mcfarlane and not in general
sound off
