bunnyfreakz - No man, he meant it's a great JL Bat figure and a great Batman figure in general! ...Not only is it a GREAT JL Bats but it's also a great Batman figure period! :-)
Wow! I was completely happy w my S.H. Figuarts one after my peg mod...but this is darker and better looking. It’s bulkier than the Dawn of Justice version. I need it! Looks like the cape could be swapped out easily.
Rick Nuhfer Looking at it now, you can see it’s soooo much more movie accurate than the SH figuarts. I don’t even think SH put much effort to making it look like the JL Batman. They gave him the same suit with the armoured plates and all that but it’s much more cartoony overall. Cowl looks different, no alt head sculpts, muscle mass is more exaggerated and cartoony etc This one looks much more realistic.
Glad to see Mafex finally heading in the right direction now!!!!! In most areas, this figure I feel is an improvement from the BvS one. I kinda have to agree that the cape is lacking bendy wire, but the much better material makes up for it My only concern is the tight fit on the other interchangeable hands, but it’s an easy fix Great review!!!!
I was looking at a detailed picture of batman weapons and those "bat o rangs" are considered "bat darts". The BatoRang is 2-3 times larger, like a boom a rang. The bat darts are suppose to be small enough to fit inside his belt pouches.. Anyway, thought I would point that out.. If I'm wrong, I stand to be corrected. lol
Cant wait for this figure to arrive, I pre-ordered it the second I saw it. I have been waiting for someone to review it, I love that head sculpt and the body looks bulkier than the BVS Batman. The only thing I am kinda bummed about is the cape I like the material I just wished they kept the wire in it for pose ability other than that I’m really excited for this figure.
M Shafiq I won't he getting the px desthstroke. Next mezcos I will be getting to review is the ascending knight Batman blue ver. & black suit spiderman and should be getting old man Logan but still not sure about that yet
Awesome review great figure way better than the bvs version and figuarts version hoping the jl superman will be better than his bvs version so hyped for the tactical suit version only minor complain maybe a little more bulk would've been great
nice review. Mafex should've include a parademon's gun as accessory since batman predominantly used it in the movie rather than the grenade launcher.. overall it's a good looking figure. Cheers!
This guy is awesome. I'm going to pick him up definitely. I have to pick up that white tuxedo joker from suicide squad as well. I love that laughing head sculpt. Great review!
Romes Republic The price of Mafex figures is a little ridiculous. Yes, Mafex has made improvements to their figures but they still aren’t where they need to be to justify that price tag. There shouldn’t be any issues with these figures at all for 80$. The cape should’ve been better material with wires included, the cowl should’ve looked less round, and the paint job on the heads could look a little more realistic like Mezco figures. No excuses, 80$ for an action figure is just ridiculous For that price it had better be damn near perfect
TheHunterAnk It looks like Mezco made a smaller version of the hot toys tactical suit, very cool. I got mine on pre order. What do you mean by breakage?
Akep 321 Neither of them are good figures. BvS Batman is way too skinny, usually has screwed up eyes depending on how bad luck you have with QC and has a horrible orange skin tone with limited arm articulation. The JL Batman has a horrible looking cowl that is innacurate to the film because the head is too round, and the neck is too thin. The cape has no wire in it and the material doesn’t even drape because it’s too thick.... which makes posing an absolute nightmare. And the JL batman is still too skinny Personally, I would save yourself 90 dollars and wait for the inevitable Mafex Batfleck 3.0 where they finally get it right
Hi, just a question: where do you get all your shf and mafex figures from? 'Cause from amiami or similars i had to wait up to a month after the release to get my copy.
Love the aesthetic look of this figure.. I noticed you did't mention any looseness in the joints, are any of the joints loose on this guy, or do they feel like they might become loose over time? I'm very skeptical when it comes to mafex as most of us are. Good review tho man, seriously contemplating this one. ^_^
That's true, the only thing that concerns me before spending $80+ on this guy is the quality of the joint articulation.. I have figuarts figures more than 5 years old that still hold their joints very well, whereas I have mafex figures just a couple of years old that are falling apart on me. There is a clear difference in quality in the plastic these two company uses and that is my concern.. So far I've only seen 'KenOhwee' have problems with this figure, his chest articulation was very loose, to me that's like buying a mezco with loose articulation for $80+. Thankfully he didn't seem too sad about it but I would of been bumbed man.. It makes these mafex figures a huge gamble in my eye's when you look at the percentages. I am still leaning in on this guy but I might wait to see if S.H figuarts give us a Tactical suit batman and get that instead. Do you know if Figuarts are planning anymore justice league batman figures? I'm sure they have another one up their sleeve..
No loose joints on mine. The double jointed knee that makes these figures so hard to stand up is the tightest knee joint I've ever felt on a Mafex. And no loose chest like KenOhwee's figure
JoJo Red Bendy wire is hit or miss. It’s not as natural if you wanna have a straight flowing cape that moves naturally. It’s good if you wanna pose it for a wind swept look or pose him as if he’s jumping from a building or something but there are ways around having bendy wire. If you’ve got extra stands hangin around you can just use a couple to hold his cape wherever you want it
@DareDevil19 do you happen to know if I can get this cape somehow to this day please? It would really make my day because I need it so bad for my MAFEX JL Bats as well!
Really really a nice figure and of course review ! So tell me, is the legs and arms pop off easily ? Because Mafex is known for that, for the fragility of their figures, no ?
Toto Bersek Yes, there are knows for that but now since the mafex darth vader rogue one no qc issue have be found (except for figures like mafex bane or joker 2.0 who got interchangeable arms)
This JL Batman doesn't feel as cheap as their previous figures. Joints don't pop off easily and they aren't loose. Since 2018 started their figures have been much better from the 2.0 joker to bane and now this Batman. So i think mafex actually stepped it up starting in 2018.
DarDevil 19 I don't have the SH figuarts and yet not this Mafex, I have only the DC multiverse version. I asked this cuz I saw another review from (D Amazing) and all my hopes evaporated...in his review, the arm and the belly pop off easily... I thought this figure will solve the problem of Mafex issues, that they reinforced the tight joints...I have to decide myself because I want a solid Batfleck figure, so plz tell me: Which one is solid ? The SH figuarts or this Mafex ? From pictures and reviews, I found them good, I know this Mafex is seems to be better but I want a solid figure. You have them both, you can tell me
I own both. The joints on the Mafex are very tight and they do not pop off easily. However if you apply a reasonable force pushing say backwards on an arm it does pop off but it's nothing like their old TDK Batman or TDK Batman 2.0 where as soon as you touch it it falls out. As for the SHF, it's not as nice looking a figure... but you won't have any issues with joints popping off unless you're pushing hard enough as if you were attempting to break the figure.
Quick question man. Do you think the increased price is worth it? The average was around $60 then they upped it to that $80 to $100 range. So is the quality upped?
Chris Flynn they still cost around $60- $65 if yoh buy from Japan it's the us retailers that upped the prices. But mafex seemed like they actually did step up their game starting in 2018. I think that's why their prices went up cause they upped their quality
Nightwing Josh Not really. The JL head sculpts are too small for the BVS neck they don’t go on properly. However, these headsculpts will fit on the neck from the BvS Knightmare Batman because that neck is skinnier than the one that is used on the regular BvS batman. The necks can also be swapped between Knightmare Batman and regular BvS batman... Then you can put on the JL batman heads and voila
Nightwing Josh Yeah in certain lighting he’s almost black. Works for me cause i prefer an all blackbatman in the live action films but if you really like that classic look i can see why you’re like dammit
I don't know man. The suit looks way darker then it was on screen. Either it's your lighting or his grey on his suit is so dark I can barely make out the bat symbol on his chest. There's also some weird paint effects going on. His neck has glossy pieces on it but the head has a very strong Matt finish to it. It's a step up from figuarts having said that the pose-ability looks less . There also seems to be some weird gaps in between the torso pieces and the joints are super glossy when the body pieces aren't and it just makes them stick out like a sore thumb. It's a improvement over figuarts but it's not perfect. I would like to be able to pose him doing more crouching stuff and this batman just doesn't look suited for that. But in he seems to do power triangle stances extremely well.
thefatman69fude if your looking for a batman able to crouch revoltech amazing yamaguchi is making a batman figure that can crouch well in the promo shots though we know how the amazing yamaguchi marvel figures are...
I think this is actually the best 1:12 batman action figure so far
Finley Han I think it mighy be my favorite Batman I've ever owned
I know I am quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
this is the best batman figure i have ever seen at this moment
This is a bad ass Batman figure 😍
Such a nice figure! Thanks for showing it to us, I will probably order it!
This doesn't just look like a good Justice League Batman. It looks like a good Batman figure all around.
Absolutely! My thoughts exactly! :-)
Not good JL? Wut? can you give example 6 inch JL Bat better than this?
bunnyfreakz - No man, he meant it's a great JL Bat figure and a great Batman figure in general! ...Not only is it a GREAT JL Bats but it's also a great Batman figure period! :-)
Syne P. Agreed!!
That's a great looking Batman figure

yasss at last the vid is uploaded! been following for this review ur posts on ig a lot
This is an amazing batman figure. Such a brutal batsuit. Looks awesome.
Glad to see Mafex finally heading in the right direction now!!!!! In most areas, this figure I feel is an improvement from the BvS one. I kinda have to agree that the cape is lacking bendy wire, but the much better material makes up for it
My only concern is the tight fit on the other interchangeable hands, but it’s an easy fix
Great review!!!!
Awesome one for my collection
This looks great, but with limited display options I dunno about having so many Batflecks, but it def looks better than the SHF one.
I was looking at a detailed picture of batman weapons and those "bat o rangs" are considered "bat darts". The BatoRang is 2-3 times larger, like a boom a rang. The bat darts are suppose to be small enough to fit inside his belt pouches.. Anyway, thought I would point that out.. If I'm wrong, I stand to be corrected. lol

Pls review mezco stealth deathstroke!

DareDevil 19 Ok noted man! Can’t wait for mafex superman!
Great review brother!!! This figure looks amazing. I'm definitely gonna have to pick this up...
Hmmmm... what is you can swap the capes out from the tactical suit Batman with this Batman? 🤔
Awesome figure and review as always! glad I preordered this guy
Awesome review great figure way better than the bvs version and figuarts version hoping the jl superman will be better than his bvs version so hyped for the tactical suit version only minor complain maybe a little more bulk would've been great
nice review. Mafex should've include a parademon's gun as accessory since batman predominantly used it in the movie rather than the grenade launcher.. overall it's a good looking figure. Cheers!
Glad I preordered this and sold off the figuarts version.
Christopher Miller this one is dope! I was actually thinking of selling my SHF JL Batman too lol
Good review as usual ! It's a great figure and she looks very well ! 😍
This guy is awesome. I'm going to pick him up definitely. I have to pick up that white tuxedo joker from suicide squad as well. I love that laughing head sculpt. Great review!
Mustafa Nouri thanks and I think this is definitely worth picking up
Cant wait for the new batman
Damn that head sculpt looks as good as the Mezco one. Would you say it compares in real life?
Can’t wait for mine to arrive on Monday!
Did you get yours yet? Or will it he next monday
El mejor batman de esta linea!!
A great looking figure, but at an $80 price tag, I'll wait for the Mezco one:12 version.
Hansel Roman cost me $65
DareDevil 19 what!? Where?
Romes Republic

For that price it had better be damn near perfect
Im happy it wasnt such a bright grey to me Batman should never have grey
Omega Warrior Feliz what? He was wearing gray with PURPLE gloves when he was first introduced
Tru_Ambassador I know that but I always prefer him wearing black since that's what color a bat is
Tru_Ambassador to me the best Batman toy is the mezco fair 2018 that was review shartimusprime
Damn this looks good!
Dope Batman but I’m saving my money up for the Mezco tactical suit one instead btw has anyone confirmed yet if there’s any breakage.?
TheHunterAnk It looks like Mezco made a smaller version of the hot toys tactical suit, very cool. I got mine on pre order. What do you mean by breakage?
AZMATIK Breakage as in Mafex Figures intend 2 break a lot that’s why I only stick with Mezco & SHF for some lines.
TheHunterAnk my mistake, I thought you were referring to the mezco. This seems to be the first review on RUclips of the JL mafex Batman.
Haven't heard of any breaks yet but you never know with Mezco. But in all seriousness the joints seemed pretty good on this batman
This makes me want to sell my SHF version.
please review the JL Superman next please
what do you think are the best superman figs to scale with sh figuarts dbz?
Should I get this figure or the Batman v Superman mafex figure?
Akep 321
Neither of them are good figures.
BvS Batman is way too skinny, usually has screwed up eyes depending on how bad luck you have with QC and has a horrible orange skin tone with limited arm articulation.
The JL Batman has a horrible looking cowl that is innacurate to the film because the head is too round, and the neck is too thin. The cape has no wire in it and the material doesn’t even drape because it’s too thick.... which makes posing an absolute nightmare.
And the JL batman is still too skinny
Personally, I would save yourself 90 dollars and wait for the inevitable Mafex Batfleck 3.0 where they finally get it right
Is it possible to switch the head for the mezco soverign knight one?
yesssssss!
My mafex batman is way shorter than shf batman☹️ what happened?
Great fig
Fantastic💖
Wher you order that
Hi, just a question: where do you get all your shf and mafex figures from? 'Cause from amiami or similars i had to wait up to a month after the release to get my copy.
Maybe i missed it in the review, but would you say hes bulkier than the bvs version? Also does tge unmasked head work on this?
Michael Bigari yea definitely bulkier than the bvs ver

Where do you get this one ? It’s not release in US
ObZen515 amiami but it's sold out and sold out from a lot of retailers
I dont get why they put bendy wire in the last batman but not this one
Dark Surge who knows I heard mixed things on the superman with the bendy wire maybe it was just a decision from them based on feedback
You're kind of always split down the middle with bendy wire capes. I personally don't like them but sometimes they are effective.
Could be because of the material of the cape
JoJo Red Bendy wire is hit or miss. It’s not as natural if you wanna have a straight flowing cape that moves naturally. It’s good if you wanna pose it for a wind swept look or pose him as if he’s jumping from a building or something but there are ways around having bendy wire.

I feel like they didn't put it cause the material of the cape being heavy possibly but who knows

@DareDevil19 Hey, did you get my other message? I bought the wrong cape. I found the correct one and sent the link through Etsy chat

Mafex or sh figuarts?
Mafex
I need one now
InjusticeGodz17 I've been searching for a second MIB one but he is sold out at a lot of retailers
Im gonna try to hold off on this since they'll release the tactical ver. In a couple months.
MrPiratechris tact suit Batman looks sick! Got that one preordered too lol
Can you use either head with the bvs version?

oh well. thanx!

Not a fan of the body on this figure?
no, i do, just too dark, while the previous one was a good shade of grey

Yeah in certain lighting he’s almost black. Works for me cause i prefer an all blackbatman in the live action films but if you really like that classic look i can see why you’re like dammit
No wired cape, fuck that
Here before the thumbnail
Gabe Holland lol
Tactical
Ultra beast goku Rulez me too
90% figure is fucking awesome
10% not bulk enough at least for me
My bvs version looks better imo
Farabirzk Nope, JL version is way better
After owning both i can say JL is much better but wish it had the bendy wire like the bvs one
