    Dude, your honest reviews are the BEST! Your readup of the filecard got me crackin' up!
    I was fighting some serious FOMO for not buying that Batwing because it had a ready-made cockpit, filled-out wings, and real wheels, but thanks for setting me straight that I didn't need it. If anything, I'm more appreciative that I bought the SpinMaster Batwing and will customize it how I would've liked it.
    Thanks for taking the hit on that for us!

      I bought the spin master as well and was considering the McFarland Batwing. I'm not a huge fan of his figures but for 200 the thing should have lights and sounds. There is a you tuber that customizes the spin master batwing with lights and guns. He charges 150 to customize it so still cheaper than McFarland. The detail on the McFarland batwing is cool but over priced in my opinion. I would also add that the spin master version is a toy and the McFarland batwing is not. McFarland is more of a collectable and meant for display.

    • @Ron-ep3zl
      @Ron-ep3zl Год назад

      ​@@Scro10mThe new Batwing has a huge 35-inch wingspan which means it can seat a 7-inch scale DC Multiverse figure. The spin master is 27 inch and fits a 16 inch figure in a coffin like position but you can customize it to fit 7 inch figures and still come out cheaper than the McFarland batwing.

    I paid up for the animated Batwing and Batmobile years ago... Worth every penny. McFarlane has always been good about quality at a good price point... I feel like he could've sold more at $100-125ish, made it an online exclusive with a retailer and it would've sold out

    This is a hard pill to swallow especially seeing how not too long ago Mattel released that amazing 6" scale Justice League Batmobile that came with a fully articulated 6" Batman figure, had lights and sounds, could adjust its ride height, was a FULLY functional RC car with smoke effects AND had a built-in camera for POV video streamed to your phone and all that was for $250. Wow. Even with inflation, $250 for this Batwing looks like a crime. My Lego Batwing was $200 but you pick that up and even though it is Lego it solid, has some weight and feels like $200 worth of material. Sorry man. Thanks for the great review and thanks for taking one for the team...with that said I might end up getting one anyways because it does look cool LOL!

    @Choom2077 Год назад +5

    This is actually the best and most grounded/honest user review I've seen on the batwing. At first, I thought maaaaybe 250 dollars would be worth dropping for this thing. But you actually cut right into it without shilling at all and showed us what the real scoop is, in addition to some thought provoking examples (power rangers, etc). You made a damn good point and I am now glad I didn't pull the trigger on the bundle.. 250 for a big hollow piece of molded plastic is outrageous.
    I actually thought you could at least pull out the gun turrets on this thing. It does NOTHING. It's basically a plastic wall poster. I don't understand the price now. $150... tops.
    $250... F-- that! 😮‍💨
    Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this. Subbed.

    Man you had me rolling because you're right. 1 No panels for guns because DC won't allow guns on anything DC related. I got this too and yeah, it is underwhelming. I also have the Spin Masters and the mat black of the Spinmasters looks better. For $80.00 you can get two Spin Masters, take the wings of one to make a complete wing and the rest can be used as a customizers start on a bat boat.
    The reason you can still buy the McFarlane one is that Spin Masters really F'd up their sales projections. I don't mind it being a one seater because the original 89 batwing was a one seater. Also a true scale batmobile for the 7" line is 1/10 and is supposed to be 28" long not 22" (Just youtube 1/10 Iron Studios 1/10 batmobile.

    “Matter of fact? The more I make this video, the more I’m pissed off!” hahaha dude had me rolling with this review!
    I do sincerely love a lot of what McFarlane does & especially when he does 🎬 movie action figures, that’s my thing.
    They seemed to cut the shit and stop the nonsense with those EYE sore, abysmally sculpted wrist and ankle joints (fuuuck those were and are still so uncalled for-like little 🎾⚾️ balls attached feet to the shit, breaking up any cool boot or leg sculpting AND wrist to forearms…just major anger anytime I’d see that piss poor design choice 😤😑) Now? Looks like they’re making things a tad more seamless and aesthetically pleasing. Need to stop using PINS in the joints is the next step.
    Unless the canopy is grey and that ugly in the movie? Zero business giving us a Batmobile with that canopy. Looks like hot shit.
    Again, not crapping on Todd’s stuff completely, I’m a huge fan, but they A-should and more importantly B-CAN do better.
    Thanks for the laugh man 🙏🏼💙

    My $250 Batwing is still on the way..already paid for. My reason for getting it is I made sure I purchased every single thing from The Flash movie simply for my favorite Michael Keaton Batman. Had I gone without the Batwing I'd always felt like I was missing something in my collection was a little empty. I knew right off the bat I was paying too much but I couldn't go without simply because when I collect I try to collect it all. Repeating myself here but still absolutely love your honest reviews and I'm with you if I got screwed all say I got screwed but the screw job is worth feeling empty later so to speak LOL😂

    At first glance it looks cool but it kinda seems cheap and those landing gear seem weak but I guess its not a meant to be played with. My thoughts its meant to hang on the wall probably why its cheap hand hallow to make it light enough to where it wont fall off the wall. Doesn’t excuse it there are ways to make it heavy duty feel like its worth the price and fasten it to a wall mount securely. Thanks for mentioning Neca I couldn’t remember the name and was thinking of that Turtle van the whole time haha. Only McFarlane I buy is Warhammer and I might switch to Joy Toys for that. Acid Rain figures are pretty nice to if 3 inch if a thing you like.

    We told you!!!! 4:10 I'd be upset about the color alone. The Batman inside, the picture of the Batwing and box behind it all are blacker than the actual Batwing. It's grey and it's not even due to your lighting either. That's messed up. Was always happy with my Spinmaster decision. Yep.

    Hopefully, they will make a model kit of this and that I'll get instead.

    Yeah I thought so, ever since I saw Todd’s video and the sound of it and how light it was by his handling of it. I said NO!

    Thanks for an honest review. For this money you could have ordered the 12 foot home depot skeleton or 9 foot werewolf. The only sad thong is McFarlane will feel justified charging this much because of reviewers taking the bullet for us. BTW, did you know Todd sold out about 5 years ago, and closed the whole NJ development offices? Everything is done by a Canadian company now, and Todd is just a figurehead.
