McFarlane ToysDC Multiverse Man-Bat Mega Action Figure

McFarlane Mega Man-BatOnce again I must reiterate my disappointment with McFarlane, since taking over part of the DC license. What once was the standard for all figures, has become laughable. But, I still hold hope for the McFarlane name. This figure is one that gives me "hope".Packaging: 7/10It's a decent box for display; just nothing special. NOT that we want a line to change it’s design in the middle of a run (yes, Hasbro, I’m looking at you, and the change during the Star Wars Unleashed line).Paint: 10/10There is a question with the eyes. But, it’s so minute that it really begs the question, should this figure get dinged, even half a point, for an extremely difficult spot that you can barely see? No.This has to be the absolute best paint job I’ve seen on a McFarlane post DC licensed figure. Man-Bat’s paint is shadowed perfectly, with shades in realistic texturing that brings back memories of what made McFarlane Toys light years ahead of everyone else, and revolutionized the industry.Articulation: 6/10Meh. Yes, 22 points, but, nothing super spectacular that screams out “I’m better than anything ever made before me”.You do get an odd spot of articulation in the knees. Actually, below the knees. I think this helps with stabilizing the figure. But, more on that later.Sculpt: 10/10If the paint job on this figure wasn’t enough to cry out to us, the sculpt should.The only “negative” in my opinion, is the oddity on how the wings are designed. For whatever reason, it seems as if this were a real costume, the wings would be sort of boxed around the arms, in two sections: the top and bottom. Nevertheless, it still works.Otherwise, this is probably the single most perfect Man-Bat figure of all time. Possibly one of the greatest figures of all time for any Batman or DC line. The detailed “fur” is nothing short of spectacular. If there is one thing I hate, especially since the 90’s and the exceptionality of McFarlane, Marvel Legends, and Star Wars Unleashed for retail figures, is flat, one dimensional figures. I love to see 3D, wrinkles, and other features that give the figures a life all their own. Looking at the body, even the denim shorts—the rear pockets, bring a level of realism I have not seen in quite some time.Accessories: 0/10This is a $40 retail figure. Let’s pretend to make it look like one. All we get is a plain, boring collector card that reminds me of a slight step above a 70’s Topp’s baseball card. And a large stand. That’s it. Even when retail toys were $4-5 we got treated to better. We even got some had had a display diorama. That would have been perfect here. It’s not like Man-Bat needs a lot of accessories; but, a solid diorama would have helped. A lot.Displayability: 5/10This is a new grading category, created specifically for this figure.At this point, it does stand on it’s own, as shown in the sales pictures. The issue comes in that I had to twist and manipulate the figure to do so. Figures tend to fall over eventually, and I see no reason this will not follow suit. But, after 10-15 minutes, it was still standing. Even though it is quite top heavy.Value: 6/10$40 for a figure is not cheap. Of course, in this hyper-inflation, post Covid era, a family of 1 can spend almost $40. The 6” scale is now over $20. Yet, still, I find it hard to give this a high mark on value, when it's going to cost the better part of a $50 bill! An otherwise great figure, with no accessories is commanding a $40 price tag; but, we have seen many of these figures around $20 or even less. But, if you want to be sure to get one, can you risk waiting for a clearance sale, and it being in stock when you get there?Overall: 95/100This is by far the absolute best figure I have come across from the DC Licensed McFarlane figures. Textures, paint, and sculpt do not disappoint. At all!Recommend:Absolutely. Even at the higher than deserved retail price tag of $40, this is most likely to not be the one you want to miss out on!

It’s nice and weighty and the detail is great. Just an excellent buy for the money.

Amazing sculpt. And serious size and heft to it.

This figure is incredible. It's the first DC McFarlane figure I've seen where the figure is actually cooler than the box art.Even better, Croc is surprisingly well balanced. One of the arms on mine is slightly looser than the other, but that's to be expected with this brand. The pants are boring, but that's his Arkham swag, and our boy is literally a sewer-dwelling crocodile man.Because of the collar placement, Croc can't look down, which makes it difficult for him to make eye contact with smaller figures. Still, the teeth, the claws, and the scales are incredibly detailed.This figure is a great value, even if you aren't the biggest Killer Croc fan. Also, I didn't snag a picture, but he is positioned pretty dynamically in the box and would display well that way if that's your thing and you have a ton of shelf space.

This Man-Bat figure will undoubtedly look great on any collector's shelf, but that's all you can do—put him on a shelf. Its lack of articulation is a huge let down.The legs are pretty locked into the hunched stance with little movement beyond the knee. However, the biggest let down comes with the wings.I thought for sure the wings would be wired with rubber to splay, allowing for more dynamic poses of spreading wings or even simulate flight. I was really excited to make him look like he was flying with fishing wire suspending from the ceiling. Maybe add a Batman fig grappled to his foot. But alas, this Man-Bat is grounded with prelocked wings into a retracted position as seen in the photos. Such a shame!Additionally, the figure can't even stand well on a shelf. The ankle joints are far too loose to hold-up the bulk of the figure.I'm sure any fan will love the look of this figure, but don't get too excited to create any dynamic poses or scenes.

This is a very large and detailed figure of Killer Croc made by McFarlane. The figure has a tremendous amount of detail and is very well painted. The different textures and paints make him look very life like.He's a little top heavy, so it may take some work to balance if you want to stand him up. But they include a display stand that you can attach to the foot if you want to use that for a little extra help.

Cool killer croc big fig

Awesome detail, great collectors item!
