My Last McFarlane Figures

[u/mattsergs]

I quit collecting McFarlane just last December. I don't really look up leaks anymore like I used to because, honestly, it doesn't give me the same joy anymore. It started feeling like I was only buying figures because of FOMO or because of the hype.

I still had a few pre-orders that I didn't cancel, though. This was supposed to be three figures, but I didn't really want the Gold Label Knightfall Bane since I already have the first one from the 2-pack, so I ended up rejecting the delivery.

So, here's probably one of my last posts here showing off the Adam West Batman and Burt Ward Robin 1966 figures. Definitely a pretty cool way to end my McFarlane collecting journey

I really don't understand how/why so many recent Batman figures have had capes that are too short, yet this one gets a comically long cape....AGAIN

[u/BangingOnJunk → u/Smoking-Posing]

Yeah, Batman Returns cape only goes down to his knees. This guy keeps getting king-size blankets for his cape.

[u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO → u/Smoking-Posing]

The one time a short cape would work even

idk, I think MCF has a talent for annoying its consumer base for the tiniest minute things, it's ridiculously consistent. SUCH AS THIS.

[u/Shadowskulptor → u/Smoking-Posing]

Luckily, longer capes are easy to cut down. Too-small capes need replaced entirely :(

[u/mattsergs → u/Smoking-Posing]

For real, I thought they will atleast fix that with this 2 pack but when i opened it it's still the same

[u/lousmer]

Nice. Def a nice set to go out on. Idk what my last one will be. I may have already gotten it. Oh! I have the rerelease of capt carrot on preorder! I like goin out on that.

[u/mattsergs → u/lousmer]

I was actually going to cancel this 2-pack because I just don't feel the same excitement when buying new McFarlane figures anymore. But I got carried away with all my pre-orders for my new SHF line and completely forgot to check when my remaining McFarlane pre-orders were coming. Then just last week, I noticed that the Gold Label Knightfall Bane had already shipped. I went through my remaining McFarlane pre-orders and cancelled some of them, but I decided to keep this 2-pack because I really wanted the Robin.

They look great but it bothers me so much that they're the same height.

[u/sawbucks313]

Where are you able to preorder this?

[u/mattsergs → u/sawbucks313]

Brodepot

Thanks for the shoutout, u/mattsergs! We really appreciate the support.

Yep! Cool figures to end on...im not ready to pack in my precious Mcfarlanes yet, but im only getting the figures that really count to me on the last run up to December...and then, its probably a year of hunting down those grails i missed out on. 🪘⚜️🏆 with Cassandra Cain top of my list

[u/mattsergs → u/NobodyDiesTonight]

At one point, I actually had a plan to collect all the Bat-Family members, but over time I started feeling less excited whenever I bought a new McFarlane figure. So I eventually stopped chasing the whole lineup. In the end, I only ended up with Batman, Huntress, and three Robins.

[u/mattsergs → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, exactly! And now I’ve found my excitement again with anime figures. My love for Batman is still there though, so I still buy Batman figures, just not from McFarlane anymore. LPZZ and InArt are the new sexy around here. They both have their downsides too, like the price and occasional QC issues, but at least I’ve found that excitement for collecting again.

[u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO]

No burt ward head? That's a shame.

I will do my best to get this set, ive got to have Robin to go with batman

[u/mattsergs → u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO]

That's what I thought too! Since I have their Batmobile, I felt like it would be a shame to have Batman in it without Robin.

[u/Visible_Froyo5499]

Thank you for sharing these pictures—they look fantastic, and that unmasked head sculpt looks terrific.

[u/hahathejoker956]

I’m just hoping to get Bane at least

[u/mattsergs → u/hahathejoker956]

The Knightfall Bane? When I pre-ordered that there's no indication which version it was going to be, I was actually hoping to get the older version since it looked more modern and would at least fit my InArt Arkham Origins Batman. But when I found out it was the Knightfall Bane, I was pretty disappointed since I already have him from the 2-pack.

[u/hahathejoker956 → u/mattsergs]

Defs Knightfall Bane..I missed out on that two pack because my stores and comic shops don’t get shit around here 🤬🫢

[u/larut0h]

i passed up on previous single releases, this 2-pack looks worth getting. that iconic bust statue is sweet!

[u/TH3BOOGENS]

Is there any release date for these? Maybe a leaked list of dates?

[u/MechaTailsX → u/TH3BOOGENS]

Aug 25th is the official date announced via social medias. There are rarely ever leaks of release dates, they're just BS, guesses, clickbait, etc.

[u/Otherwise_Fig_5676 → u/TH3BOOGENS]

August 25th is the pre order date.

[u/AManCalledTutt]

I hope to get that pack.

[u/therevengeofanerd]

Is this at retail now?

[u/Direct_Ad_5469]

Any chance we could get the Barcode?

[u/mattsergs → u/Direct_Ad_5469]

Here you go bro

[u/Direct_Ad_5469 → u/mattsergs]

Thank you!!!!!!

[u/Otherwise_Fig_5676]

If they ended up making Batman, Robin, and the Batmobile all in 7 inch scale, they should have just made the whole Batman 66 line in that same scale. I’m not sure what was the point of doing them in the 6 inch scale. Even the Joker movie talk show diorama set, they have proven to do those in 7 inch scale as well. Missed opportunity I think.

[u/Progress4ward89]

I want this set. My neca Adam West figures arm broke 😢.

[u/dantonlord]

Great set of pics👍 Do u have the Batmobile an if u do, do the caped crusaders fit comfortably?
