Today in the Toyverse, we dive deep into the bowls of Bruce Wayne’s mind as we examine the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Last Knight on Earth Batman figure that is par tof the Build A Bane series. Once again, a very special thank you from McFarlane Toys for sending this over to Comic Crusaders for review. With that being said, lets chat about a new Batman, and more specifically, the Batman in straitjacket from the Last Knight on Earth Black Label story.
The Design:
Looking at the cowl, this version comes in shock treatment design. It looks cool and it is something I enjoyed from the comic. The straps on it are nice and give it an old school football feel. But more importantly, it can strike fear into any patient attending the facility. Speaking of straps, this asylum inspired bat cape looks great. Batman has been brushing up on arts and crafts in the facility, and the McFarlane team captures this design great.
As we examine the belt, you can see some great detail on this item too, although I am not too sure what this version of Batman is packing, considering he is inside a mental facility. As we go up to the upper body, you see the W logo, which is nice. The texture on this costume is just really nice as well. My eyes instantly fall in love with it. And as far as the gauntlets are concerned, we see Bruce has made some makeshift adjustments using the straitjacket to make it his own. That beautiful texture follows the lower body and overall, this costume is a nice break from what we normally see from the batman character.
The Articulation
As far as movement is concerned Bruce has some great range of movement at the head. He can move in pretty any direction you choose to have it in. His arms are a little looser than I like, but the movement does hold up. You get a nice amount of movement, bicep cut, double bend at the elbow, and a ball hinge at wrist.
The upper body movement is once again a soft shell, but he can go forwards and backwards and all around with ease. There is some gapping at you go back and forwards, so be ware of that when posing. The lower legs kick forwards and backwards with no issue. He has double bends as the knees, and boot rotation at the ankles. And of course, toe articulation.
Bonus Items:
As for accessories, you get the cool card, the base, the joker lantern, the baton, and the build a bane parts. The card features beautiful artwork and a bio on the back. The base is standard for what we see in this line, and The Joker lantern is awesome. I would be curious to see if someone breaks it open and if the head can fit on other Joker figures. The baton is molded in black and has great detail, and we have the fist and head to Bane which I will talk about in the next video.
Final Thoughts:
This Batman was a real treat to talk about. I really dig the design. I think he jumped out of the panels of the graphic novel and into plastic form in tremendous fashion. The sculpt and paint are all on point, and he breaks up the rows of Batmen in traditional outfits. Once again thank you to McFarlane Toys for sending this over, and I look forward to wrapping up this wave with the Scarecrow and Bane next.
