Mafex BATMAN The Dark Knight Returns Action Figure Review
Ойын-сауық
Mafex has released some really great figures but they have also produced some figures quite opposite. With a company track record so hit or miss, will this Batman be able to outshine the Hush version of the caped crusader which was the brand's best release in recent history?

@@gesie0504 Ah, I see you have very good taste in DC animated movies.
For Batman, black and gray, but a really nice deep blue looks really cool as well. With the lighter blue I find it too flat.

Yup. Black and grey for me, too. It's also makes more tactical sense than an all black, especially given the time and environment he operates on.
Fantastic!!! Really enjoy how you take your time and assess everything regarding how the figure is engineered. As a collector in this economy I have to take into account price point and quality,,, Great Job!!!
Black and grey for me. I like how it contrasts with Superman
I like how they did Bens Suit in BVS. I love the dark grey and black the most
The black and grey is a favorite. If an all black approach is taken, I like to see various textures and finishes like gloss, matte, metallic, carbon fiber etc. that way they catch and bounce light in different ways.
I’ve always preferred the blue and gray color scheme. Although, with something like The Dark Knight Returns incarnation of the character, black and gray looks and works better.
Blue/Gray, Black/Gray, Black/Black in that order, which is why I was planning on holding off for the Batman/Carrie Kelley 2 pack. I was actually on the fence of getting the 2 pack because Mafex has been hit or miss lately, but this review convinced me to preorder. Thanks, and great review!
I love this look for Batman
Re: the cape on the Hush Batman. All the initial reviews on him gushed, which shouldn’t surprise. But yeah, later reviews pointed out that there is just too much cape. Have you see a custom cape for it yet? Has anyone worked out how to remove the cowl to put one in?

Check out d star’s cape swapping on the hush batman. He did mention that permanent modifications had to be made including that one tab had to be clipped, but that didn’t really affect much on the figure.
One of my fav Batman figures EVER and will definitely be in my 2020 top 5 hands down. I'm even really cool with the pleaded cape because the way they did it actually helps taking great dynamic photography. But I guess it might be an issue for people who just want a cape that hangs down nicely on a shelf. Not my case so I'm super happy with this figure. Makes me wanna throw my Mafex Hush Batman to the trash.
Glad it's turned out well, it looks good! Same - Blue/grey, black/grey, black/black
*Anthony coughs* Me: SIR
Black and grey has to be my favourite scheme but I can still see the appeal of the other colours.
Blue and grey I love the 1970's cartoon batman color combination
Black and grey
The cape looks like Alfred forgot the softener and dryer sheets and Bruce just pulled it from the laundry bag.
yessss waiting for My batman to arrive I'm so excited !! This is an awesome figure... gonna have fun with him in my stop motion thanks for another great Review!
The blue one is looking like it's going to have that bigger cape. at least from what I can tell.
Nice review, still deciding to get this or the Hush version. I think this is a better figure but doesn't go well with other figures
Very cool looking figure. I really like the pleated look. I like the black and grey look the most.
The blue and gray has always been a favorite of mine
My nostalgic side leans to blue and gray, but I like black and gray too.
Ant, I just got the Mafex TDKR Superman. Now, I know you mentioned you're not a big Supes fan, but I highly, highly recommend it. It is incredible. If you liked this Batman, you'll love the Supes. Plus, they'll look incredible together.
Personally I love the blue and gray palette for Batman, black and gray is a close second
great stuff does anyone know when mafex superman hush is released? mafex website says, "2020 12 may be released" whatever that means
My go to is black and grey but depends in the story he is in too. Sometimes blue and gray works and the tim burton batman the black and black i think works perfect.
Technical the "blue and grey" is really black and grey. Drawing a character with black on grey back in the day was probably a challenge to make it look good until we got modern printing techniques.
Blue and Gray. I grew up watching the Super Friends cartoon every morning while having breakfast before school time, so that color scheme brings back good memories. I'm probably going to get the version that comes with Carrie Kelly but I'm almost sure that one will come with no Batarangs, but it's fine, I just want the thicc blue and gray Batman lol.
Just got mine and it’s doing pretty well, only issue I had was the hip joints. One is so loose it pops off more than I’d care for and the other was so fuckn tight I needed shock oil, but outside of that I love it
Black & Gray is a classic for me but I also really love black on black.
Pardon the comment a whole year later, but I'm hoping you get a chance to review the 2-pack with Robin! There's new stuff to look at (both Robin herself and some accessories for Batman), and it would be great to revisit this mold in the blue and gray colors. Either way, great review! Keep up the good work!

Nice straight forward video. Thanks for this.
I like black and grey, yellow utility belt but not too bright, I like it to be more bronze colored
I prefer black on grey always! And sometimes blue and grey.
Black & Grey or all Black like a real Bat
This is an awesome figure I honestly like all the forms of Batman such as the blue and grey, black and grey and black on black, I do like Batman being in the dark so I perfer the two black forms but I still do like the blue one very much and I just love the fat Batman and this figure looks exactly like the comic and it is amazing.
I'm with you on the blue and grey
Me before I see his videos and have a figure: wow this is perfect no mistakes. Anthony customs: if your not looking for it your not gonna notice it Watches his video: I SEE EVERYTHING
Ironman in the Akuma pose while Batman in that Ryu/Ken stance.lol
For me it's Black and Grey ! Suits Batman's character alot :D
Your question is tough but black and gray always although ironically all my favorite Batman comics have mostly blue and gray batmen. Hush, TDKR, long Halloween, dark victory.
So glad its a great figure as I cancelled my pre order for the Hush Batman almost solely based on the absurdly large cape. This isn't my favorite Batman but its too cool not to have in the collection. Oh and my preferred look is Grey/Blue.
I might consider selling my hush batman and get this with the Mafex TDKR superman. I'll wait first to see what are the full accessories of the TDKR Supes. So far the only head sculpts are the neutral and dmged face. Superman without heat vision head sculpt is a deal-breaker.
I prefer the black and gray because it’s more intimidating. But my ideal look for Batman is the black and gray with blue highlights like in the animated series
Yup blue and grey does it for me visually
I preffer blue and gray more than the other colours. And the review made me wanna buy this figure. I don't care too much about Dark Knight but this figure is so good that i need it.
I no longer collect Mafex figures but this guy looks great.

12:41 humm... i would love to have a video of you explaining why toe hinges suck, because for me i think that they can work aesthetically in figures with socks or toes, but, when it comes to functionality, think it can work if you don't have it too loose, but I want to hear your opinion about it

@@connorb237 I agtee with you, for example, you wouldn't be able to get revoltech spider man in a crouching position without the toe hinges, and i think this articulation point makes a lot of poses look more realistic and dinamic
I'm late to this but I love the Dark Knight returns look also I have the one from Mezco Toys One:12 and it is absolutely amazing! I love themat figure line a lot
Black and grey but with the yellow in the bat symbol on the chest when was it just a bat just wondering
Really torn between blue on grey and black on grey. But if pushed, black on grey.
Hey you already have the latest MK scorpion from storm collectibles. I hope you'll review that figure soon man!
QUESTION OF THE DAY Super dark gray with black. Battfleck suit was very good.

It's a review. And that's a fact. My job is to point out the facts.
One of my favorite figs the blue and grey except Cape is to big ,but u have to learn to use it to your advantage. U really do it takes patience. Think of the Cape like another accessory to help your fig would I prefer the smaller yes I wish they let u change the cape charging maybe a little more money .actually it already is JESUS!!!!! I'm going broke my god!!! And did u see the superman ? Holy shit
Black and gray is my favorite but a good blue batmam goes along way
Personally, my favorite is black and gray, but i still really like blue and gray. But, i can't even imagine the black on black 😂😂😂, if someone has an idea of what it would be...🤔
I prefer blue and gray, more unique. And the Navy Blue like Batman i also enjoy a lot
This review really sold this figure for me. But to answer your question I’m more of a black on black Batman kinda vibe but I vibe with the black & grey too
I like blue and gray the best because the Batman hush suit is my favourite
Black and grey but I guess it depends on the figure
This guy is crazy he said toe hinges suck. Toe hinges should be on ever figure. I agree some aren’t done well but they are sooo damn useful

Most are done well and pull budget from other things. Because of that, they usually suck. Obviously good ones don't... But those almost never happen.
Black and grey all the way, blue and grey can look good in certain comics but I see that more as the Adam West/less dark style Batman, to me he'd be in those colours when he's with the Justice League or something like that, to me the Dark Knight should be in darker colours. Black on black though I don't like much since there are less versions out there with those colours aside from the film designs and like you said it's less visually interesting.
DKR Batman black/gray is my favorite Batman figure so far. Him being sculpted in Frank Miller's art style makes him look so bad-ass . He's sparse on accessories ,though. No grappling-gun? Really? Mafex, c'mon. I really like this figure.
Blue and gray. Huh. Like that's even a question. Btw. Is it me, or is that cape a bit pleated?
My favorite look for Batman is light blue and grey if it isn’t light blue I Prefer black and grey
The Mafex Battle damaged version looks the best! Can’t wait!

The quality of this one gives hope to the battle damaged triumphant figure being even better. If the paint apps on both the head and on the the damaged areas are spot on like the promotion pics, we are on to a winner!

Most of the time, I prefer black and gray on Batman. I don't know why, but it feels more "Batman" on that color.
Black and gray, but I think black ok black works best for the film's
I grew up with Batman blue and gray so that's top tier for me, then grey and black

Like the old group from the 60s, The Moody Blues. In my opinion Batman black is scarier in the comics. In the videos his costume is so black it's blue. When i see the Batman blue costume it seems Robin will be near by him soon. The Batman black I only get the loner vibe or him and Night Wing together. Nice review of a winning figure. Thanks for sharing your treasure.

Blue and grey, but black and grey on alternate suits.
Awwwwesome! Thanks buddy 🙌
Wow this is a great Frank Miller Batman figure, personally I like black on grey batman and dark metallic blue on grey with the black and yellow bat symbol.
I was a marvel fanboi jntill i saw the 2 part dark knight returns movie. It changed me completely
I'm always a proponent of black and grey
Mine is black and grey and 2nd is blue and grey
Black With Blue Shading and Gray
I'm the same as you hush navy blue and gray is my favorite

Yessir
Black and grey but the grey has to be very dark grey.
Classic Knightfall blue & gray or Hush blue & gray? 🤔
black on black makes most sense for batman, black and grey is the most visually pleasing, but man am i a sucker for blue and grey, so that’s my choice
i love that batman fig i mane batman should look like that he has been fighting crime for years and years lol i love that fig i wish i had it and i love the fact it is black and grey that is my fav batman
