Not giving Penguin an open umbrella in a collector's edition is just cheap.

Before watching video, it feels like McFarlane gets the small things wrong constantly, like all Superman heads are ugly. Then they cut corners with things like cuffs and boots, when it should be new pieces. The collectors packaging and premium and deluxe makes no sense, but matches Todd's superman's ugly head dilemma...

When the collector editions were first announced, a bunch of Todd bootlickers made the excuse that they're more expensive because the "collector edition is for less popular characters that wouldn't sell as well in the main line so they have to be more expensive.* Less popular characters like The Penguin? 🙄

I would describe most McFarlane DC Multiverse offerings as “I can see a good figure in there trying to get out.” What’s usually stopping them is a witch’s brew of Todd’s ego, eccentricity, and penchant for a level of inappropriate re-use and corner cutting that would make Hasbro blush. You do get some hits out of this line, but most of time, you get foul balls and pop flies.

The Platinum Edition is in Super Powers colors

I hate the stand for the card, just give more accesories instead of that

Sill not understanding why these are more expensive than the regular figures,🤦‍♂️ give us more hands, multiple heads, removable hat, more accessories and better paint details.

I kind of stumbled into collecting McFarlane DC Multiverse figures. I was at GameXchange and they had a McFarlane Dark Knight figure in the toy bin. I asked them how much it was. They gave me a price. I responded that it didn't have it's cape. The lady sighed, and said, "Just take it..." So I got it for free. I've been thinking about getting this Penguin. I really like the way it looks. It's how I imagine the character when I think about him. Even though it doesn't match the picture on the box I think this will work for my 7inch Batman display/photos.

Any mcfarlane dc is an immediate watch

Mcfartlane actually pulled off another excellent 💎. Amazing it combines elements of traditional appeal and their own esthetic. Amazing 😂

Got the collector edition Starfire recently and I feel like she needed more accessories. Like maybe alternate hands. She and Penguin are in the same wave. I feel like she got the short straw in the wave cuz Penguin and Captain Boomerang got way more accessories. The artwork on Penguin matches the Platinum variant (to answer your question about that)

Back to back reviews?? 😎😎

Fondjoy has been making rounds with their batfleck figure and I'd say it did a better job being a "collector's edition" without labeling it as such than what mcfarlane puts out there but hey at least the presentation is decent. Great vid as always!

I have this and I’m content with it.

I skipped on the platinum edition because I couldn’t justify paying 30$ for a McFarlane figure to be honest

I drank the cool aid with McFarlane toys for a long time. But recently through observation and watching your videos the veil has been lifted. Mcfarlane toys suck for the most part. Every once and a while they make something really good. I'm extremely selective know when purchasing the DC Multiverse line. How could I have been so blind 😢

It's the Danny Devito look!😅(penguin)

The nose being a separate piece was the first thing I noticed and was waiting for you to mention it till the 9th minute😁

I'll wait for Mafex or Mezco to release a Penguin.

This the one with the price increase for no reason like Starfire?

Honestly, as a mcfarlane hater I really like this figure. Don't have much to complain here apart from not looking like on the card but I don't care about this card. I'm glad I've got it with discount for my DC collectibles shelf, also mine has much better blue shading.

This is a decent looking figure but man those joint cuts are horrific, Mcfarlane just cant get that corrected!

The platinum edition version are almost the same colors as the 80’s Super Powers figure. The jacket was a darker blue, the vest is yellow, and the pants had pin stripes. But that one somewhat matches the card. I like this figure as a throwback to that one.

At this point “Collector’s Edition” just means whatever companies want it to.

I got their movie Black Manta and unless it’s accurate to the film, he has random blue bits on his torso and knees and it’s just weird looking

Im really taken by the head. The sculpt and paint is great. I wish we got more like that all the time instead of the weird hyper realistic attempts. Might get it for that alone and just have if a better body ever comes around

Which company do you think is pound for pound better? I know they're different obviously, but if you consider all of the aspects, price, sculpt, paint, articulation, accessories, proportion, likeability, selection, qc, etc., is McFarlane, or Hasbro better, in your opinion? Sik

Not even any McFarlane Butterflies? And he is deluxe?! I was hoping that you would convince me to get the figure at full price. I will wait for clearance, if anything.

Not sure if someone else mentioned it but this figure reuses parts from the Arkham City Penguin with some new tooling, hence the mismatch in textures. EDIT: The platinum variant is just the Kenner Superpowers color scheme, a mix of the two figures would be accurate to the card art but I personally prefer the normal one

I mean, I'm thinking that yellow from the comic panel from the 70s probably wouldn't translate too well to plastic, so they used orange. Not sure why that's something to get so hung up on. I would just skip the collector card and plinth altogether and give us another accessory.

I don’t understand all their sub-lines. Collectors, deluxe, gold label. It’s all so gimmicky.

Curious if this is a reuse/retool of the Spawn Sam figure?

Its pointless, have it all be in the same line, the 7 inch page punchers too. Todd thinks he's making it more fun as collectors with all his different presentations and variants but yeah not really

"Collector's Edition" means it comes with a trading card, right?

I used to think Collector's Edition meant smaller runs of characters/variations that are less likely to sell in stores. But this is PENGUIN, so I don't know. Also, I'm curious why you use that Batman for scaling, isn't he the smallest Batman that Todd has made?

I was surprised at how well that waist articulation functioned; but yeah, overall, not really impressed; that blue on his coat is so poorly implemented

Mcfarlane's classifications are all over the place and it looks like they are still doing the 90s color variants.

Hi Anthony can you review the Mezco TMNT just want to know your thoughts if is it worth the 400 tag price Thanks

This line is a curse

The umbrella is reuse from the Arkham City figure I think

Im a huge dc fan and do not buy these because i know if we dont dc will not renew the license but the people who do but them dont realize what they r doing

I thought the whole point of making or calling something a collector edition or special version is to somehow make it special. I fail to see how any of McFarlane’s “collector edition” figures qualify as anything other than a standard release. I’d it because they’re more popular characters, or in more classic designs? Thus Todd knows people will pay more for them regardless of the quality? Anyone that says McFarlane is better than Hasbro needs their head examined, they’re just as bad but in different terrible ways.

That collectors edition is just an easy cash grab for todd and a lame excuse to jack up the prices

As per usual with McFarlane toys, I’m not impressed with this one. The neon orange is an eye sore and no open umbrella. The articulation is fine I guess. It’s weird that he can lean forward but most Batmen can’t. I recently ended up selling my Knightfall Batman because I just can’t get over how soft and bland the figure looks. Plus the articulation isn’t particularly great. I don’t see the point in having it if I don’t even like the other figures in this line. I do like their Wonder Woman. That’s not to say she doesn’t have issues but she’s the only one I’m impressed with enough to keep. She’s currently my only McFarlane figure.

I hate the dc multiverse line the overly painted horrible articulation and mc far lane says they don’t need good articulation like what and he has the nerve to say his line is number one toy line, cap bro I don’t believe it these figures suck Jada toys makes mc farlane look like garbage as they should

... double upload

The figure is not supposed to match the exact art on the box in most cases. It’s a representation of what inspired the design of the figure. Idk why you always get so upset about that lol

McFarlane figures are a rip off IMO. Overpriced figures with minimal accessories. Wow! A baseball card and a cheap ass stand for $45. Where are the multiple heads for some of these boring ass faces? "Mega Figures"?? I literally scratch my head each time these figs sell out within minutes. I have rashes now.
