This is my favorite pack of the year. This Bane is right out of that comic book cover, so nostalgic and iconic. Absolutely a must have just for the Bane only. Get it before the resellers increase the price!
I got it and I put a spare KF Batman head and painted it to match on the Batman and painted over the cell shading on Bane and it’s a shining part of my collection :)
0:13 bro it's literally so easy to explain what happened they gotta be so damn lazy to use chat gpt and not look in to what appearance these figures are from and what happened with these characters 😭
I prefer the first two uses of Knightfall Batman (color scheme wise), but I'm tempted to get the set purely for Bane. Also with that backdrop, I'm pretending the dinosaur statue is traumatized from seeing its owner get defeated by Bane.
Never understood why you always gripe, when they use the same buck. If it’s a knightfall Batman different variants it’s going to be the same buck. If you want something different, get a completely different Batman ex Arkham city Batman. Either these figures growing more and more in the custome community so having extra parts definitely helps
This set is definitely overhyped. People more in love with what it represents or reminds them of than the ACTUAL quality. Biggest grip with Bane is that his torso articulation doesn't allow him to bend far enough forward to do the actual pose needed to replicate the move to break Batman's back. The Batman? If that were released on its own as just a battle damaged version - no connection to Bane and the story arc - a lot of people would laugh at it. So many small issues that add up to a real letdown, compared to what McFarlane can do if they really care to try.
No regrets here for selling off my original Bane, this thing is a brick. I was very disappointed with the poor articulation which expectingly hasn’t been improved in the rerelease.
I am seeing this line as a running joke that mcfarlanes fans will just throw their money at everything this guy puts out . The only good thing about this set is getting the overhyped and near impossible to get Bane and Banes toned down og look with 1 venom distributor pump . The downsides are the stamped batsuit logo , the half arsed cell shading which they just cannot get right , The cheap backdrops that are just inserts disguised as a detolf background . The icing on the cake is how lazy these guys are with any cards and using chat gpt which was a rumor at 1st but then an admitted extra COOL in mcfarlanes book . God damn do I miss diamond select really caring about these statues and artists that do the sculpts. We NEVER hear a single thing about the sculptor or artist ....Just Mcfarlane. I really wish that we would get something other than re releases of statues that were already made by a different company and bigger than a half sized variant of what we probably already owned . But Damn do i love year 2 and knightfall Batman and Bane . I really cant stand these HORRIBLE head sculpts . I still love Batman stuff and def liked Mcfarlane pre 2000 . Great video and review David . Keep up making good vids
Two things I hate about figures. Tattered clothes and cell shading. Especially when they make the best figure but decide battle damage is more badass. Eww…
I don't like these monster like faces on human characters, and Todd or whoever is in charge seems to love this style. The sweetspot was Flashpoint Batman. It's not grotesque and it's not dumb looking like classic Superman.
You don’t release 500+ figures in 4 years in just one of your lines if you suck. This line has become one of the all time greats and has given us definitive versions of most of these characters. The sculpts surpass DC Universe Classics in most 1 on 1 comparisons (most…not all…most) and the articulation destroys the older line. Also, have a little respect. Mcfarlane helped revolutionize comics in the 90s and his Spawn figure line from the 90s changed the hobby to what it is today (along with the first super articulated Spiderman). Maybe stop being an arse and show some appreciation. May he.make 500 more and keep the line forever.
Disagree with the respect aspecy: there is *ZERO * reason these should be 7" figures when the majority of the last 20 years of figures including Toy Biz, Mattel and Hasbro have all been 6". That means very few of McFarlanes figures scale properly with 90% of all other figures and aysets/back drops. That means you are fully committed to just DC and you better enjoy external wrist pegs. That is unacceptable. Add to that the gold and platinum label chase figures and the sub-par articulation not to mention the batman centric releases and McFarlane DOES suck. I got rid of all but the Darkseid (with the permanent cape btw) and went back to all the old Mattel figures which while kit as articulate are at least in scale so I can swP them out for Mafex as they are released. McFarlane had ruined the line. No respect for that.

That bane is honestly perfect I think the price is a bit much I’ll pick it up for the Christmas sale or smth
Blows my mind someone can make long form content of figure reviews and make it so engrossing. Keep up the good work!
I like this two pack too.😀

I think its also cos u save by getting the bane and batman instead of paying alot fir the original bane
Everybody has been raving about that Bane, including me. I don't want that Batman though.
I'll wait for it to go on sale, at $70+ is a bit pricey.

That Batman had too much of a goofy face. I’m sure he’ll release this one again un damaged.

Yeah I really don't like the stamped symbols..
Good video
This bane imo is way better esthetically. Don't care so much for the batman.

I hate batman’s facial expression it’s the only thing holding me back. and the mouth is printed on so weirdly
