My McFarlane Batman the Ultimate Movie Collection arrived today. What do you think of them overall and how do they compare to the other solo releases (the ones that have them)?

So with McFralane releasing the ‘89 Batmobile twice it got me thinking between Comics, Movies, TV and toys there’s been a lot of Batmobiles what’s everyone’s favorite Batmobiles? Awesome pics...nowhere to go from there but down haha. For me the '89 and '66 are best...those both look amazing.

I watched it last year on HBO Max. My niece thought it was weird It's funny you say that because one thing about Pee-wee seems to be that he's hit or miss with people. I always liked Big Adventure best of anything he ever made because there's this bizarre normalcy to it, that you can believe he's someone that exists out there in the world...or used to be someone. With YouTube and influencers and TikTok and what not these days it's proven that there's all kinds of people acting out for attention but with Pee-wee it seems to be just part of his personality and that movie made it acceptable. But for sure there are people out there that don't 'get the joke' or just find it annoying. Surprising to hear it was your niece though because typically kids have the least difficult time accepting it. Otherwise I've definitely come across people who just look at it with a blank face and take it too seriously.

If it wasn't for Pee Wee Herman, we wouldn't have gotten this awesome score from Danny Elfman Damn, this sent me down a rabbit hole. I haven't been able to watch the movie yet, I don't know if I'm ready, but it's one of my favorite movies of all time and the score is legendary. Such a snapshot of that moment in time. Has anyone watched it since he passed?

I one time found a loose Predator figure laying around at KMart in the mid 90's when I was like 9 and we went to the register and they gave me a 3 dollar price on it. Memories!

Both look great! Thanks for the comparison photos. That Penguin isn't a bad option at all, basically in perfect scale.

I do remember that one. It would be great to see how they do it...to be honest I bought Penguin from The Batman as I loved that treatment but I packed it away for the move so I'm not going to be able to compare for a while.
Wanted to have The Batman Penguin, Dark Knight Joker and '66 Riddler as a mini rogue gallery but since the '66 Riddler is out of scale that completely throws me off haha. So maybe I'll just be satisfied with Batman Forever Riddler which seems likely after they announced the Batman & Robin stuff.
But if not I'd for sure go with Batman '89 stuff, especially if that book ever ends up having the Robin Williams-Riddler that never was.

Had to get my Batmobile from eBay which sucks but it's currently in transit and I'm looking forward to it, especially after PJ's photos. The Keaton likeness looks way better than I expected and I have no issues with the articulated neck. I know Nicholson is notorious for not letting his likeness out but it will be great to see if Joker, Catwoman and Penguin end up getting releases as well.
Also I hope with the announcement of the second Batman '89 series later this year they would consider the Two Face from the last book and the Scarecrow from the new one.
From what I see, McFarlane does majority comic book looks for DC Multiverse? Is this a possibility, do you guys think? What's the criteria for what gets picked and what doesn't, from what you can tell?

One of the all time greats and I'd love to have his figure in scale!

For a mainstay/obvious chain definitely Popeyes, Taco Bell and Wendys can't be beat but I do really like local chains so when traveling it's hard for me not to hit those up, whatever they may be.

the only thing I want you to do is make me a sandwich Before you eat your sandwich...whats going on with this belts? Are they shiny or what? 🤣 The belts are not VAC'd. This was a surprise to me upon opening the package. Sometimes budget adjustments are made that include our exclusives and they are at Mattel's discretion. I would have obviously preferred them to remain how they were. For what it's worth I think they look great in person and I don't really agree with/see the Jimmy face issues. If anything I think the shape of his head could be a little bit rounder and maybe that's part of where the criticism is coming from but it looks better to me than when the protos were first shown.

Tony works best out of the storylines and the public eye and emerging to cause chaos once in a while. I hope it never happens that he gets more involved, it's a lot better that way. So no figure for me under any circumstances.

I’m not displaying any Ultimate with dull titles. So I would happily pay a little more to get the shiny belts. brother don’t fall and consume, that’s what they want us to do the only thing I want you to do is make me a sandwich

I love movie posters and I think it's been bad even since the DVD days launched. I always remember hating the covers of the Ghostbusters DVDs and would have just loved the symbols with no or minimal text. They're overmarketed, oversaturated and sometimes just plain nasty. It's gotten exceptionally bad ever since The Force Awakens...the Star Wars sequels posters are some of the worst I can think of for one of my favorite franchises. Some general movies get away with some better ones here and there but it's few and far between. With that in mind I actually am moving so I started buying some movie posters, not even of favorite movies but just some of my favorites in terms of how they look so I'm looking forward to having those hanging up. I got really into it for a while. Here's one of my prize collection pieces:

Barbie!
Mostly good...the themes and ideas all track, I just think the jokes could have been more outright funny and less quirky throughout. I also am not and have never really been a big America Ferrera fan so contrary to everyone else who seems to have loved her I thought she was a bit of a drag on the movie and played her character super straight and safe. The Will Ferrell subplot also kind of goes over like a wet fart ultimately.
It's also felt a bit long in the tooth at an hour and 45 minutes but it is what it is.
I'll watch it again someday outside of the theater setting to see how it is but it's deserving of the praise it's getting.
