McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse The Last Knight On Earth Scarecrow and Build A Bane Figure Review

We have come to the end of the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Last Knight on Earth figures, as I talk about the Scarecrow and Build A Bane figures that are part of this crazy wave. For other reviews about this wave, head over to the Crisis Toyverse section HERE, and check out the Last Knight Batman on You Tube as well. Also, I want to thank McFarlane Toys for sending this over to the site. As for the two figures seen on screen here, I really enjoy both of them. They are a nice stark contrast to one and other, which I think helps. Let’s get the show going, and examine these two a bit more in depth.

The Design:

Looking at our good friend Dr. Crane, the poor doctor has seen better days. With his Red hood inspired helmet that helps keep him alive, the head looks like a tasty jolly rancher or ring pop candy. Once removed we get a whole lot of ugly, and it’s beautiful. It’s a ghastly look that shows what happens when things are done in excess. The body looks tremendous on this figure considering half of it is gone. The guts and zombie like body add to the creepy factor.

The noose is a floating piece, and that one gut that sticks out a bit, we will talk about more in a bit. The jacket looks good from all angles and has a Kingdom Come vibe to me. The arms have an Arkham Asylum Scarecrow vibe, and the needle fingers make disturbing vaccines pretty efficient. Overall it’s a cool and freaky look that the McFarlane team did very well.

Let’s just dive into this Build A Bane, which conjures up thoughts of Build a Bear, but anyways, Bane…He looks cool. He is a great representation of the comic artwork done in figure form. If you were looking for a more majestic Bane that lines up with your interpretation of the character, this guy isn’t for you. However, if you want a cool looking Bane, he might scratch that itch.

The detail on the body is great. So much Venom abuse has taken its toll on Bane. He is massive as a figure. I love how the injector is on his arm, and I love the details on the boots and pants. I like him, and I know many don’t, but I am a fan of this story, hence I am a fan of this figure.

Articulation:

Looking at Dr. Crane’s articulation, the head moves great with the helmet on. I am happy to see it doesn’t impede movement. However, with the head off, the movement goes into hyper drive and should not be a problem for anyone posing him. The body of Dr. Crane only has movement at the lower spine, going side to side, which doesn’t bother me.

As for the arms, Dr. Crane can move up and down, and go in and out. A ball hinge at the elbow allows for more movement, and the hinge at the wrist is more of the same. Scarecrow has articulation at the fingers. Two hinges separate four out of the five needle hands, and it is a nice touch, although I do wish the thumb moved also.

Things get a bit trickier with Bane. The head can go side to side and pivot the same direction. He can look down a lot more than he can look up. The arms have a good amount of up and down, as well as side to side. The elbow bends less than 45 degrees, and the wrists move, as long as they are popped in correctly, hinge and rotate. The upper body rotates and can move all around, however, Bane is really unable to crunch forwards, or go back too far.

The lower body, if assembled and everything popped in correctly, can move. He can go far out side to side at the legs and kick a decent amount forwards. With not too much going back. You do get thigh cuts, a single hinge at the knee, and a hinge at the foot. It can get stuck sometimes so just be aware. It does rock side to side sort of, but it has a toe hinge.

The Accessories:

As for accessories, Scarecrow comes with a few items of note. You get the collector card, the flight stand, the noose, the helmet, and of course the torso for Bane to finish building him. It’s enough on the plate to be happy with.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, both Bane and Scarecrow are very cool figures. They both have popped right out of the pages of the graphic novel, and into plastic form with ease. It was nice to see a little variety in figures this wave, and each one is going to look great on a toy shelf, or in a toy photo. Overall, this wave was a lot of fun to review. A special thank you to McFarlane Toys again for allowing the site a chance to see what this wave is all about. If you can’t find this wave at Target, multiple websites are now offering it up for sale. I hope you enjoy the review and photos.
