could it be time to review the classic batman
pow and welcome back to the channel oh no wait wait wrong channel
hey guys miho supersorrell thank you very much julia lagrange
it's adam west's batman so this episode has to be over dramatic
will our crusaders get out in time
i couldn't resist i love this figure i love batman 966 one of the best best interpretations of about
money moving i had so much fun as a kid with that tv series it was my introduction to batman
as a kid back in the day it used to be on i think channel four or five and it
used to be on at like five o'clock in the morning and then straight after school and
i would watch adam west batman adventures daily it was one one of those tv series that i always
grew up and loved and when you're a young man getting that glimpse in the beginning
of batgirl was all you all you needed to see to get excited and think it's a bad girl episode
but yes adam west batman and finally we've got some good-looking figures here from mcfarland
from the new mcfarland toys line as a part of the dc multiverse kind of stuff
they've released as some 1966 card back batman's now not only do we have this one we also have
um robin joker and we have the batmobile and we have the um the bat cave as well so i'm looking
forward to doing the full reviews on this series a lot of people i've noticed online have done
their reviews in one big thing i didn't want to do that i wanted to like spread it out and
enjoy sharing some nostalgic memories of batman 66 with you and doing each one individually each day
so over the coming week we'll probably have a few of these episodes thrown in throughout my channel
until we get through the series but yes very excited to have it so the card back itself is
very nice indeed if you're a cardboard collector this is definitely one you're going to want to
keep carded sadly i am an open box collector it has that classic 1966 green batman logo there and
if we turn it to the back you can see a nice product shot there it does actually look like
adam west so much but that's actually the action figure and then of course we've got the batcave
batmobile and everything being shown off there as well we've got mcfarland's logo at the top
very cool so guys let's go ahead and break him out of the packaging
oh it's a cloth cape as well nice i'm happy about that so they've included a bunch of the
wow and now sound effects for us to include in our fight scenes which is pretty cool
oh yeah batman's awesome
doesn't look like he's got major articulation in this figure to be honest
but it still looks pretty nice
we don't need this packaging anymore so
all right so here he is out of the packaging guys he looks awesome so this is the classic
batman which i love and he's got the blue cape as well just like the television series i'd love it
it's a little bit scrambled up for beating the box hopefully that'll drop out as as we mess around
with him the figure itself does have very limited articulation though but to be honest so did adam
west so the head is on a ball joint you can make him kind of look left and right there isn't much
up and down though on this one you can't really make batman look up which is a shame i'm not
sure if that's just my figure not warming up no there's no there's no up and down movement there
oh wow um it's just left and right there is a little bit of plastic warping here on the side
of batman's uh cowl which is a little bit of shame but the likeness there does look like him quite a
lot to be honest you can tell who it's meant to be definitely uh the arms lift up this side hinge and
also rotate there is a single hinged elbow there and the arms do rotate hands what the hands doing
um hands just rotate there is no ball joint in there though so the hands literally just
move on the hinge itself and just rotate around legs don't lift outwards they only lift forwards
with a single hinged knee a little bit of rotation there no boot cut
and the feet are static no rocker or pivot or anything in the feet so articulation is
very basic and there is a display holes at the feet should you wish to use a display base um
um i was very much into this figure until i opened it to be honest i think a lot of
people will keep this card back to be honest and that's probably why they've done it but
yeah he's got very limited articulation which i know i'm joking when i say that
adam west did as well but yeah it's still very limited articulation that i wish we had better
uh movement to be able to pose him that's my problem you're gonna you're gonna be very
limited in your posing and probably only shoving him in very vanilla poses like that which is
a real shame there is way swivel though which is nice which does move around pretty well the
figure um does have some plastic issues you can see on the belt it's got a lot of
warping going on that plastic it's flaking away with the paint as well which is a pain
but either way i still i still do like it because it's adam west batman to be honest i've got a very
soft spot nostalgic spot for the um for the classic television series
now with these power signs i think we can just we can strap them to his like wrist
which is pretty cool let me try and wrap that around
there you go so basically as you're cracking joker in the face you can just shove that effect on bam
it's a very cool concept or if we're giving a if we're giving a villain a good kicking
you can make it go
i don't it doesn't fit to the feet only fits to the arms that's a shame
that's hoping to give him a kick in and give him a bow
but either way very cool right guys what i think's gonna best is let's head on down to the desk cam
to get an up close personal look at this adam west batman so let's head on down to the desk cam
so guys here is batman out of the packaging looking pretty awesome
i do like this figure a lot so it is very good with the bow
or maybe
i do love the little sound effect there thank you though they're very cool to throw in
and the figure itself like i say my only issue with it is with the articulation that is my only
grumble which is a is a pain i really wish they would have given us a multi articulated figure why
give us a very limited articulated figure i don't understand mcfarland so far every figure i've
picked up with mcfarland have been very posable and i've had lots of articulation the only series
i found from mcfarlane doesn't is that weird disney series that they released that mirror verse
they're like very limited in articulation but i don't understand why batman is the regular batman
mcfarlane line is very articulated so why have they gone this route for batman 66 i don't know
i think the mattel versions had more articulation than this and it just took me two minutes to get
him to stand so i mean once he's on your shelf and he's out of that packaging he's gonna be a
pain to stand because he can't you can't move the feet to get him to sit to stand flush you have to
mess around with him with the knees and things and you have to get him to kind of get him back
in that generic vanilla pose just to get him to stand and you have to kind of get one foot maybe
bent a little bit forwards and a little bit backhands and you got to balance him out and yeah
shouldn't have to do that with a figure in this generation we've got multiple points
of articulation on every other figure out there why is this one so lacking that is my only gripe
i think if you're an inbox collector you're going to love this series as the the packaging
is very nice very nostalgic and very retro but for an outer box collector like me i'm not sure
what i can do with him that's my problem with the limited posing ability i'm very limited in what i
can do for action figure photography and things um like i wanted to basically take a photo of
like this diorama laid on his back and have batman walking up it just like in the cv series on a rope
but i'm not sure i can even do that with this figure at this point the the articulation is that
limited so we'll have to see what i can do with him but either way um batman 6-6 with me holds a
special spot i do love it and i will be displaying him uh regardless of all this because i do just
love batman 1966 i do love adam west um like i say it was my introduction to batman as a kid
i used to run around dressed up as this character about my used to have this suit as a kid
and like i say it was the the introduction to dc comics for me so it does hold a special spot
but guys what are your thoughts on this figure i'd love to know your guys thoughts um in the
comments down below for me let us know which is your favorite episode and what is your memory of
batman 1966 um let's try and keep this positive so what are your thoughts you know on the television
series which is your favorite episode i'd love to know mine was always um the one with mr freeze
because the ending to that episode is amazing we're doing the cliffhanger will batman escape
in time or will he become a popsicle i always love the overdramatic outros to the batman 66
but for now let's head on down to the head on back to the main cam and finish off this video
so guys what are your thoughts on this batman let us know in the comments down below lack of
articulation batman in an imposable situation will supersorrell ever get through the backlog of toys
will we ever get to see baby yoder again find out next time same bad time same bat channel
