I wish I had $$ for Mafex figures I want the Hush BATMAN
Hopefully your dream will become reality at some point. _Maybe_ try to get one off AliExpress, since they go for over retail now.
You’ll get it bro 👍🏼👍🏼
@@BrceWyN90s thanks
I'd love to see you animate Batman again
2nded
The Captain and Batman sign me up
Same
Love the poses you did replicating the Kelly Jones art. very cool
Thank you! Been having fun remembering those Knightfall covers haha
Only just starting 1/12 this will be my first Mafex figure. The overall shape/presentation looks better than other companies. worth buying I think...
Yeah, this is easily one of my new favorite Batman figures. So classic looking and so fun to pose around.
Glad you like him! I much prefer it over the Hush. Better cape and wires. I think you'll be able to find Bane pretty easily once he releases. Maybe stop motion with this Batman is in order 🤔
Thanks for watching! Yeah the more I think about it, the more I might need to grab Bane.
Karate shop hands that can also be used for slapping Haha. This figure looks so epic with the Kelly Jones head. That DCUC Batman is the one I've been recently chatting with you about and wow, I was surprised when you mentioned us talking about your video! Haha Vader out of nowhere? lol I remember seeing that comic cover back in the day. Great review, man.
Thanks man! Haha you know what I didn’t even think about those being slapping hands, but that’s all I can see now
need more reviews! this was so great
The "Sucking on the pacifier" head sculpt was a waste of plastic. Shoulda been a short eared "yelling/screaming" head sculpt!
I definitely don’t think I’ll use that head, I woulda preferred another long-eared expression of some kind, or a Bruce Wayne head.
Great review!
I subscribed after hearing your review brother i’m from same time frame as you and also absolutely love Kelly Jones! His Batman was wicked, his Swamp Thing and Deadman as well. I have the blue and black Hush Mafex batman, TKDR blue triumphant version and the black tdkr with horse. I think this Knightfall one is my new favorite for sure!
Thanks for subscribing! I forgot about the TDKR figures, those looked great from what I saw. I’ve been able to resist Mafex DC stuff, but this is getting me to reconsider haha.
Great Review my friend! So I did order this (should be here in a a week or so), but I also got both Hush versions and I feel you on the cape issues.... I understand and appreciate that they were trying to make the cape other-worldly but in most instances it was just a touch much. Having said that, I do still love those Batman figs. I think this one meets all the criteria... awesome cape, awesome fig, but not over doing it.
Agreed! This guy does everything so well, without too much flash or overstylizing. I’ve been really happy with this figure!
I had that same Batman issue! It was my first comic book. The lady at the checkout counter tried to talk my mom out of buying it cause of the cover art lol.
The figure is really good based on your review. Mafex kills it with their comic book figures. Love that they give you so many options for the cape.
Thanks man! Haha those covers always stuck with me, as a kid I couldn’t understand why they had such long ears and how he looked so sinister haha.
Great pics at the end
I passed on this just cos I have the Hush and prefer a darker blue, but I’ll be really tempted if they do a black & gray variant
They might get me to double-dip if they did this in another color scheme, especially if they toss in a Bruce Wayne head. Thanks for watching man!
Would be cool to pose him with a gun like the Batman Year 2 comic covers. Fear the Reaper series. Ugh I really want to dive into these Knightfall figures. Don’t want to feel the pain in my wallet after gathering up the Mcfarlane Figures. I will 100% splurge on Tim Drake Robin because man, that mcfarlane Robin left a lot to be imagined. I skipped the Bane repaint because I really wanted slimmer buck not just a repaint of that mega figure. Especially since they just through some blue shading on there. Mafex Bane is more of what I want just can’t go down another rabbit hole.
Mafex Az Bat looks way better too. Not sure why Todd went with a baby blue the dark blue metallic is way better!
Kelly Jones is the way to go! Shot with the dio looks sick!
Final shot on the fire escape looks great!
Thanks! I wasn’t really planning to get hooked on these Knightfall Mafex figures, but this one got me considering it haha. I didn’t go super deep into the McFarlane stuff so at least I wouldn’t end up with two completely different collections, but the cost per figure is definitely enough for me to think very carefully haha. Tim Drake will be a must, though!
Cool looking Batman figure 👍👍👍👍🍕🥤
Thanks for the information, this figure looks fun!
Thanks for watching man!! Appreciate you checking this out.
Weeee Genesis Batman soundtrack!
If Mafex reissues this with the blue swapped for black, I'm in. For now I'll stick with my all-black DCUC Batman.
Regarding the bang for your buck, it sure can vary when it comes to Mafex releases. You look at ones like Gambit and Magento (totally loaded), then you'll have an occasional one really lacking like Wolverine and Catwoman. They're certainly not all created equal, and lately they don't seem to be coming down on price with the weaker releases.
You’re right. Magneto had a bunch of things, and Wolverine was pretty threadbare. I guess for a character like Batman I would’ve liked to see at least a couple little gadgets or something.

For sure. It's been so long since I read Knightfall, so I don't remember what all they had. But to have gotten _at least_ a batarang (sans the wire) would've been nice. The accessory just doesn't work well, unlike the grapnel gun that came with Hush Bats. It would've worked better if a string was attached instead. I'll probably end up using one of the extra classic lookin' batarangs that came with the Hush release.
I grew up on the blue version of Batman. I remember seeing Batman all in black when Batman 89 came out and I remember not liking it as much as the blue version. Now as an adult at 39 I prefer his black and grey look, but I got this figure for the nostalgia. Very awesome.
I got into Batman through the movies, so the black costume was my go-to. But once I started getting into the comics, I started really loving the yellow logo and blue cowl look. I do love the black and gray look, but this is still a classic for me.
Nice review. ❤ I will say i own hush batman in black and gray. And dark night returns batman in blue and gray with battle damage. I prefer the later. It’s a ton of fun. I did skip this guy. But ordered Bane. I can’t wait. Just hope he scales
Nice! Yeah from what I’ve seen Bane will at least scale with the Hush version, so you’ll be able to have a cool fight scene haha.
I felt like accessory wise they sort of missed out, they should have added the grappling riffle or the grappling hook or a few battarangs but design wise I actually like the Kelly batman, it's a nice bridge between the black suit batman of the late 80s and 90s and the more Olympian physique build batman that I feel actually works for batman since he's a stealth/martial arts character, I never seen him as a brute, I think Superman is better that way and it works in contrast.
I think I might be sold on him if my fucking order gets into the store but then again shame on me for ordering that new Mezco ghost rider...I should have known better...yeah I'm getting bane and Tim drake if he comes out too.
Yeah, a few extra accessories would have been welcome here. Even just swapping the head with the breathing device out for a Bruce Wayne head would’ve made this better. That said, he’s great.
@@CaptainMcKayRandom I agree, this one needed a Bruce figure, I could think of a dozen covers you could mimic with him in his batrecliner. Still this is very good, can't wait to get him down the line.
Do you think they’ll restock on hlj ?
I’m not sure how often the import sites restock, to be honest. If they don’t, there’s always the chance of a reissue (but that may take a while too). You might have luck getting this from someone who is bought this out of FOMO and is selling theirs
