hey guys me host it was all thank you very superman this is superman the infected and this
is dark knight metal batman these are both been sent to us free of charge from mcfarland so thank
you very much mcfarlane and hero.com for arranging it here.com our great distribution company from
germany and they were the one that organized these to be sent to us so thank you very much hero.com
and once again thank you for the samples from mcfarland toys now these are part of
the dark knights metal set if you remember before christmas i was sent a nice big box
full of some of the latest dc products and i'm very happy to have some of the dark knight
metal series i'm going to be reviewing batman and superman today and then in a couple of days i will
review the um the batman who laughs as well as robin and i'm hoping to pick up two more robins
before the video goes live so that i can have three robins surrounding him all different faces
and stuff i'm working on it bear with me i've been trying to get all those robins for ages and
and medley i wasn't a big fan of this superman when it was announced the infected one
i don't know why but now i've got it in hand it is absolutely amazing i'm not one
for superman products as it is as you guys know i'm more of a batman fan but this superman is
absolutely out of this world the face apps the paint on it look at that so well done
they've done a great job with that and the blue really pops the red looks awesome and the fact
that they've ripped the cape up as well to give him more of that dark knight's metal
look as well is really cool and for the fact that it's a nice soft compound rubber as well
rather than a piece of plastic is just nice and articulation wise this figure is very cool it's
got a head giant a ballerina so you can make him look up and down as you see i've been making him
make some really cool expressions because he can sort of make him look up and across
things like that that looks really cool i'll have him hovering and having him looking down
maybe a batman hunched a little bit or having flying if he put both his feet sort of flat
and uh i tend to do that when i'm thinking and fly like that and have him looking down about
sick but yeah superman infected himself with um nanotoxins i believe uh to go undercover
um as one of the infected so that he was able to infiltrate it's a thing i believe that was
the story if i remember rightly it's been a while since i've read that comic now um
i am currently reading dc at the moment i've actually got way better i get it
i'm currently reading joker wars and so i'm getting ready to start reading that
one and i'm going to be starting this one tonight joker's enter the joker's warzone and obviously
i've never um this is my first encounter with the with joker's new girlfriend punchline didn't
realize that they'd um got a new girlfriend so and harley quinn apparently comes face to face with us
so that should be interesting that book i got by the way off amazon for 22.99 i'll leave a link in
the description if you want to pick it up anyway sorry so yeah that's why i'm always i'm always
uh reading comics from different all over the shop i don't really follow dc comics like i used to do
i used to read them monthly and then read like a month's worth of comment of comics in like a day
haven't done that in a long time ever since marvel unlimited came out
um i've been using marvel unlimited and dc i don't think have an equivalent so i've kind of stopped
reading dc altogether i just pick up the graphic novels wasn't going to look interesting to me
um but marvel since they've been putting out the um you know the unlimited i've been really
enjoying that obviously that's their comics that are about a month no about six months out of date
but don't matter i suppose when you get to them there's still good stories when you reach them
it saves a lot of money and a lot of time trying to get them here in the uk as well
but anyway sorry i digress we're talking about soups yes like i said this one's very cool so
the head was on a ball joint sorry the arms do rotate at that top hinge to also pull backwards
and forwards on a butterfly hinge which is nice rotation of the bicep as well as the top hinge
you've got a double hinged elbow that wraps all the way around hands are on a ball joint you can
crunch you around at that middle abdomen thing which is nice and there's also some swivel there
and there is no further waist width i can see there's a little bit of a give but not much
legs do lift out pretty far as well as forwards backwards there is double hinged knees on this one
as well which is nice no boot cuts or anything but the feet are on full ball joints and even
has toe articulation it does come with some other alternate hands on this one so as you can see he
does come with fisty cuffs as standard but you can pop those off and give him some grab hands
like so
give him more sort of like grabbing hands so to speak
um if i was going to do those i think i would put both on together and i think i prefer this one to
that one so what i'm going to do is swap them over because they are different they're not the same
you can see they are very different style of hand i think i do prefer the other ones
so i'm going to pop that one back off put the fisty cuff back on this one i'm going to keep
him with that hand combination 150 cuff and then use that one so i think that looks nice
so yes a lot of articulation a lot of good detailing no great figure overall
superman i'm going to put you to one side for now because we do also have the batman
to look at and then we'll take a closer look at both of them at the desk cam in a moment
but for now let's move on to their batman so this is dc's metal batman
the dark knights battle batman um so it includes uh him and it also comes with these two
two weapons and don't worry i will be doing a review of merciless as
well i haven't forgotten about merciless that will happen um
i haven't got the little art cards anymore for these i have given them to a friend at this point
uh he does collect them i'm not a big fan of the little cards so
um what else did i want to say about this one i've got my little notes here
no that's pretty much it i covered it
um so yeah became the ultimate vigilante of the dark knight
disciplined his mind and body to reach the pinnacle of mental and physical superiority
he's a master detective an expert martial artist but his greatest weapon is his mind batman has
a plan for every occasion as well as high-tech weapons gadgets and vehicles to assist him in his
relentless pursuit of justice from the pages of dark knight's metal so he comes um with two open
palm hands because he's obviously going to be holding these awesome looking weapons which i
love these by the way not just for dc but i will be i'll be using these with different figures
as well because they are so detailed and nice any fantasy figure will be able to
use that i love the fact they've got wraps on the end as well the wraps look so good love it
so he can just hold these if we just slot one in each hand
out
wow they are a bit of a pain to get in but i've done it so mcfarland's have been killing it with
the batman franchise they've been doing a lot of batman's don't get me wrong and they still
are there's still a lot more announced that are from the batman era and obviously we've still
got the drowned as well to do i can't wait for the drowned ones come out she looks awesome and yeah
then we've got the um some more of the black label stuff um when when when they announced
it was gonna be mcfarlane making them i wasn't surprised that the the stuff they've chosen so
far i was surprised with the first wave when they started saying they were going to do figures from
the movies like harley quinn and they're going to do the animated series again i kind of thought
oh here we go again it's the regular old multi versus the new and you take on it by a new person
but then true todd mcfarlane style came out when they started introducing all the
dark knights metal and stuff like that he's gone for the black label comics which are more for
mature audiences uh so i think it's cool that he tried obviously giving doing the dc animated stuff
it doesn't seem to have worked out for him as it seems to be very much focusing on some of the more
black label and matura uh sort of comic stories which is nice um these are adult collectibles
so i do like the fact that he's aiming straight for the um collector with the more
mature franchises um not that i wouldn't want to see some movie stuff in the future from them
i'm just in no great rush for them i like what mcfarland's doing i think dc should
sell the movie rights to a different franchise owner and i think mcfarland should stick to
what they do best which is making dark style figures obviously he's the creator of you know
spawn and stuff he's used to making these types of figures that are a bit dark and
scary that's why mortal kombat i think works well with with todd mcfarlane as well
anyway i digress we're talking about batman sorry i'm probably going off on a tangent
uh heads on a bulge on this one as well as you can move him left and right his head doesn't move up
and down as much as as i would have liked on that one it is a little bit more hinge but he has got
the neck hinge so he can move his neck which is nice uh probably in keeping with batman a little
bit there because obviously that batman never just turns his head you have to take the whole
hole also to look at things and the arms do lift up this top head also rotate there's a
double hinged bicep there with a sorry double hinged elbow with a bicep swivel
hands are on ball joints again we've got the same abdomen crunch there it seems which is nice and
movable and you can also waist swivel him on that as well legs do lift out all the
way as well as forwards backwards there's a double hinge knee there no top thigh cut
no boot cut vr on rocker and pivot i'm like a ball joint there and there are other little holes in
the feet for display bases i never use these play bases they do come with them but i never use them
um i've never found the need to i think once you've if you spend plenty enough time with them
you will find that you will find a pose they will naturally just stand in and will stay up
obviously i've got them up all around my room not one i think only two figures have fallen so far
i'm quite impressed that because normally figures are like dominoes once one goes the old start
but yes this again a great batman figure so what i'm gonna do now guys is i'm gonna head on down to
the desk cam to give you guys an up close person look at both batman and superman and don't forget
in the coming days we'll be reviewing uh the batman um about the batman who laughs as well as
robin and then merciless so stay tuned for more dc figures so let's head on down to the desk cam
so guys here they are out of their packaging looking awesome i really do like these two
figures they are really good they're really well detailed and really well put together i
really do mean i'm not just saying it i really do like them they look
so good i love the little tears in the cape and stuff and all the little ruffles and
soon things looks very awesome and that face gulped on superman is just amazing
really like that and then of course we've got batman as well very cool figure loving the
stern expression on the cowl of them on there with a nice 3d um emblem there on the chest
and now again those weapons all the nicks and stuff in them just look really good down to the
wraps and stuff again very cool he's got like stuff like rips in his costume as well which is
nice you see the fabric tearing and peeling and stuff as we're going through as they're going
through hell itself in the dc metal universe but guys which of these two is your favorite figure
and which are you looking forward to seeing next i'm very much looking forward to doing the robbing
the rubbing looks really cool as the infected rubbers look really cool i can't wait to get
two more of those to complete that series now i can still shove the wings on the on the uh about
who laughs then we can do that review as well but guys what are your thoughts oh no superman's down
