McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Batman Forever Wave + Batmobile with Alfred Pennyworth Review and Images

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means... ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at all things DC Multiverse Batman Forever from McFarlane Toys. This is another special one for ToyFarce, another review over 3 years in the making after 'leaking' the Batman Forever and Batman and Robin waves in 2021, everybody laughed then, and here they are now! I grabbed the whole wave that comes with a Collect-to-Build Nightmare Bat (the bat from the infamous deleted scene), as well as the Batmobile which came with Alfred!





First off, Batman as portrayed by Val Kilmer. The figure is pretty similar to the one that came in the Ultimate Movie Collection 6-pack, which was PERFECTION. This one has a few tweaks to differentiate it, though, like the gloves and boots being a different color. I imagine it's to make sure the people that bought the Ultimate 6-pack don't get mad, just like they had tweaked the Clooney Batman figure before that. The likeness on this figure is amazing. He comes with an extra pair of hands, a batarang, a sonar batarang, a grapnel launcher and the head of the Nightmare Bat, along with a stand for it. The soft goods cape is not wired, which I assume is for him to sit better in the Batmobile. A gorgeous figure!












Robin, played by Chris O'Donnell, also looks pretty good. The colors on that suit really pop. The likeness is really spot on, just like the Batman and Robin one. He comes with a beautiful wired cape, 2 extra pairs of hands and a wing for the Nightmare Bat. That cape is super fun to pose!












Two-Face, played by Tommy Lee Jones, doesn't come with much: only 2 extra hands, both with trigger finger, while the figure doesn't come with any guns... (McFarlane Munition Pack, to the rescue!). He also comes with the other wing for the Nightmare Bat. The likeness is pretty good too, and the details on the suit are awesome.










Last but not least, the Riddler figure, played by Jim Carrey, has to be my favorite from this wave. The likeness is pretty good, he's so goofy looking! I played with him the most while taking pictures. He comes with an extra pair of hands, a riddler bat bomb, a very gummy cane (a bit of a bummer, it would have ruled if it was solid), and the body of the Nightmare Bat. It's such a great toy!














The Nightmare Bat, albeit being only in a deleted scene, looks very good in figure form. The mouth is articulated. It has a gread stand holding it nice and tight in a flying pose. The wing span is huge, like NECA's Gargoyles figures, and it will be a pain in the butt to display... Speaking of pain in the butt to display...











The Batmobile from Batman Forever is one of my favorite designs (after the 89 Batmobile and the Animated Series one), and I've always wanted to have a big, nice version of it. It has lights and sound (the sound of it starting up, with the lights blinking). From the early promo images, it looked like the color was too green, but it's actually pretty spot on (it might be the Amazon one that has the wrong color only). The cockpit opens and you can put your Batman Forever Batman figure inside (hence the cape not being wired). The only issue with it is that the fin is obnoxiously long (which is part of the original design), and this thing takes a lot of space. I have no idea how I will display it... Yay!
















As a bonus, the Batmobile comes with an Alfred Pennyworth figure, which is like a cherry on top of an already amazing, Batmobile shaped cake. Michael Gough played Alfred alongside Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney, so having a figure of him is pretty sweet. This completes the Batman Forever display, hitting us right in the nostalgia!
