I'll admit. I prefer the armored Black Manta from the first film, BUT the silver head on the new movie suit. Would love to swap heads, but doubt they can unless the jetpacks can swap too. THEY HAVE SOME MINI/MAXI SERIES COMICS THEY COULD REPRINT FOR THESE PAGE PUNCHERS.
@William_9958 ай бұрын
Both are fantastic, but my favourite is page punchers, he's just so badass, the fact they have made his more modern design that hasn't had any figures makes him stand out, he has a similar design in young justice and some animations
@Austroid7 ай бұрын
3:58 To be fair there's been cases where most of Manta's human head is actually in the neck. Which makes a lot of sense, given the whole "laser eyes thing" lol.

Before watchin the video, just wanted to say thank you for another awesome year of reviews! BOTH of these figures made my top 10, with the movie one coming in tenth due to lack of weapons and that weird blue paint, and the page punchers came out as my figure of the year! edit: the page punchers design is close to his young justice look in the head, other than that I would say its an original look inspired by his other designs just like the injustice design, the helmet most likely only holds the upper part of his head, with his lower half being in the neck section, so the articulation doesnt really make sense, but the helmet isnt a problem
@DemetedP8 ай бұрын
I personally prefer the movie version because it's much closer to the comic design that I've come to love and know for many years now. The Page Punchers is really cool though, it's an original design inspired from various sources like Young Justice and the first movie. That said, a recent Black Manta solo comic also used a similar design to the Page Punchers so it definitely has its place as a figure. I'm honestly just happy we have so many good Black Manta figures these days! 👍

To be honest, the page punchers one feels more like Devil Ray from Justice Leauge Unlimited (who is Black Manata, but they weren't allowed to use the character proper) so in regards to a Justice Leauge/JL Unlimited collection or display, I could see Page Puncher working super well! Not sure which one i'll be picking up in the end since I love both for different reasons, but this was a useful video! keep up the great work!

Page Punchers wa actually my first dc multiverse figure I ever owned. It is a great figure with great accessories but as I build out my legion of doom I do find myself wanting a more classic looking Black Manta. Personally i think that both of these figures are great and It really depends on wheather you want a modern tech or a classic black manta.

I was and am very tempted by this Black Manta because he has that classic feel but I'm trying to be more budget conscious in 2024 and I already have the Page Punchers version. Plus, there aren't enough classic versions of other villains to make it work for me. It's also why I am torn on which Riddler to get, I need them to come out with a Two-Face, Penguin, or Scarecrow to know if my Batman rogues are going to skew modern or classic.

It's a shame we never got a DC Multiverse figure of Black Manta from the first movie. I'm generally all about comic book accuracy, but I really liked his armored up diving suit look from that movie, and it's a design that lends itself really well to being action figure. The Page Punchers figure is actually one of my all-time favorite DC Multiverse figures. I feel like all of McFarlane's strengths show through on that figure with the weaknesses and compromises being very minimal, if only because the character design is very forgiving for them. A lot of their figures are so compromised to the point that it feels like there was no love put into them, and while I don't know there was necessarily MORE love put into the Page Punchers figure, it came out to be something that I really like.
