I had him under a black light and didn't get anything, that's why I switched to the 200 watt daylight bulb to try to charge him up. I may try again though with direct sunlight.
@@5POAFigureReviews huh, yeah that's weird cuz usually that color of neon works best to give it a day glow effect under a fluorescent black light. Those black lights that are just bulbs aren't real black light they just give a purple light it must be a fluorescent UV bulb, the tube kind. I really doubt they painted it with glow in the dark paint it would be instantly see able. Neon colors will light up with fluorescents so I'm surprised.
@@5POAFigureReviews I had to see and dug out my old raver light from back in the day and couldn't believe the bulb turned on after buzzing for a bit. You're right it will not glow. It looks a little lighter but nothing close to glowing. Funny was I tried Martian Manhunter 52 and his joints and the red all around the tunic and chest glow great under those fluorescents. I saw brought up too on a early leak post once about if it was glow in the dark.
@@5POAFigureReviews I recommend a figure. It’s the Stan Lee from avengers 1 and I think it’s a pretty good figure. It’s a marvel legends one and you can get it for 25 bucks on target! Other websites sell it for around 50
Great reviews! Came across your channel scrolling through some reviews of McFarlane Batman figures. Great concept of 5POA. At first I thought the McFarlane figures had only five points of articulation so had to watch. Been watching ever since.
Thanks! I am not looking to shift to daily as a normal thing, but I found Man-Bat and Batman Who Laughs and just had to get them out ASAP. I haven't slept in days lol
@@5POAFigureReviews Love the content but totally understand daily or once a week, I'll be here watchin anyway, great content, always make me wanna go play with my figures
Hahha the intro xD nice one. Really cool video, the figure isn't bad at all! I didn't even know of it. Some of these head swaps got my attention, especially the one with the future state Batman and your idea of painting the Joker mouth in it! I won't be able to get either one, most likely, but it's a good idea haha
Future State is starting to see a wider release, so never say never. It was first to Walmart but not it's available at GameStop, Books a Millions, etc.
@@5POAFigureReviews Yeah, I'm not in the US so they're not as easy to find both on availability and price sometimes, but I do what I can and videos like yours help me enjoy them even if I can't get them.
BTW I saw the gold label batman dark detective mcfarlane toys dc multiverse figure coming this year are you gonna get it alongside the gold label exclusive wonder woman too my guy?
Not getting the new Dark Detective, sorry. I am happy with my trench coat version. But I do have the Gold Label Wonder Woman and will be getting to her soon.
If you ever have any problems with mcfarlane figures not hunching forward as much as you want you can watch unparalleled universes video on it its truly a life saver
Do McFarlanes have a similar side to side pivot to marvel legends? None of my DC Multiverse ankles seem to go as far as you seem to get them I don’t know if I’m missing something or what 😂
It's not like Marvel, no. To get they to hinge side to side, you need to twist the foot in such a way that the seam on the ball is side to side, not up and down. You can do the same with the wrist to make the hands hinge side to side instead of up and down as well. Not as nice looking or intuitive as Marvel Legends, but still good range when it works
Dang I was hoping that this was Joker dressed as Batman... I hope that McFarlane makes The Joker dressed as Batman...Just not the Suicide Squad version...Maybe Arkham Knight version.
It is pretty glossy, but it doesn't look bad in person. Very leathery. I imagine you could hit it with a matte spray (I'd just avoid the neon parts and the cape, because I don't know how it would affect those).
Agreed. This is cooler than the final costume.
I absolutely love it.
I ordered this today thanks to the review, he's going to be my first MCF figure, pretty excited about that
Happy to help! That's what it's all about. Enjoy!
Congrats on getting your first one, hopefully you'll enjoy it!
Kinda odd that this outfit only appears for like 3 pages in the comic but got almost all new and unique sculpt.
Agreed! But boy do I love it.
The way they get it to look like glow in the dark is using a black light to illuminate the neon green color in photos. He's an awesome figure !!!

Your vids are always superior with so much more detail and the icing on the cake, of course, is the head swaps. Keep'em coming!
Thank you so much. Always more coming!
I found your channel five days ago and I’m loving it! You’re a great RUclipsr and I hope you get more subs since you deserve it!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!

That's great! Glad you have been enjoying it
Ordered mine yesterday! Can’t wait to get this as a massive joker fan
You'll love it! Great figure.
“Mr Joker, I don’t feel so good”
This should have been his official look
Agreed! But I can see how his final form fits the Death Metal theme more.
Loving the daily videos!!

I want to make a custom of classic batman using this body, thanks for the review!
The proportions of his arms and hands aren't quite human so I am not sure if it will work, but I'd love to see it if you do.
Great review but yeah it definitely doesn’t glow in the dark. When I preordered it I assumed it would, still a fantastic figure.
I want to maybe try to charge him up in direct sunlight and see if that finally does it.
and now a proper glow in the dark version is coming as an amazon exculsive
Yep!

Fantastic review! I just picked this guy up
Glad you liked it! Great figure!
Am i the only one who wants a regular black and gray batman on this body? i love the proportions on this body
It would be really cool, but they would need to make new arms. These are stylistically long and disproportionate
BTW I saw the gold label batman dark detective mcfarlane toys dc multiverse figure coming this year are you gonna get it alongside the gold label exclusive wonder woman too my guy?
Not getting the new Dark Detective, sorry. I am happy with my trench coat version. But I do have the Gold Label Wonder Woman and will be getting to her soon.
@@5POAFigureReviews alright but for me pal I prefer the new gold label dark detective version than the original with the trench coat though
I agree with you shame in the comics he was only in couple pages when he was killing Superman
Yeah. Fantastic scene, though. Very intense.
If you ever have any problems with mcfarlane figures not hunching forward as much as you want you can watch unparalleled universes video on it its truly a life saver
I'll check it out, thanks!

@@5POAFigureReviews awhh okay that’s what I thought thank you, glad I didn’t try to force them
Does this figure have a wired cape?
No, plastic
please do grifter next, i think it'll be a cool head swap with red hood
I wasn't going to, but now that you say that I am kind of curious too. I will keep my eyes peeled for him.
Dang I was hoping that this was Joker dressed as Batman... I hope that McFarlane makes The Joker dressed as Batman...Just not the Suicide Squad version...Maybe Arkham Knight version.
It'd be cool to get the Rasta Joker from "The Batman" animated series wearing the batsuit from that one episode
Is it really that glossy or is it just the lighting? :O
It is pretty glossy, but it doesn't look bad in person. Very leathery. I imagine you could hit it with a matte spray (I'd just avoid the neon parts and the cape, because I don't know how it would affect those).
It’s a nice figure but it’s a pass for me I’m more of the black trench coat batman who laughs but nice looking figure overall
It's definitely a striking look, so I get it.
Order mine last night, I had to get it like Frieza first form lol
What body does this use ??
Totally unique sculpt. No reuse
@@5POAFigureReviews would love a Batman on this sculpt hopefully we get one soon
Use a black light
I did, but it didn't work.
