4.0 out of 5 stars
Az-Mazing,
By D Strick "Entertainment D" (Birmingham, AL) - See all my reviews
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: DC Universe Classics Azrael Batman w/ Knightfall Armor Action Figure (Toy)
Jean Paul Valley or Azrael took over for Bruce Wayne while he recovered from a broken back (minor injury in comic books). Unfortunately he was a bit unstable, became violent and created a 90's style robotic Bat armor. Eventually the real Bat took him down. Wave 16 of DC Universe Classics is Gotham centric so here Az-Bat.
I've found that often the lesser tier characters with crazy costumes make for the most visually interesting action figures. Maybe it's because you can only look at the good costumes so many times. From the waist down Az is fairly standard although he does have spiky wings on the outside of each calf. From the waist up he's all Bat armor. The work on the arms stands out to me the most with lots of detail in the armor and gauntlets. His hands are robotic claws and there are weapons dispensers with feeder belts - they shot razor sharp Bat disks if I remember correctly. There is a stylized Bat symbol on a triangular flap and a robotic looking helmet. The stand out feature, visually speaking, is the "cape" which consists of 6 long strips that shoot up from the shoulders and then hang down to about the calves. They are jagged shaped and thick so you can spread them out a bit and they'll retain it for a little while. His color scheme is grey, gold, blue, black and silver with red eyes and sensor on the helmet. The work appears very clean even on small bits like the silver claws and red eyes. His Bat symbol is a nice glossy black. I really have no paint issues on this. There is a cut neck joint but the high collar restricts movement somewhat although it turns a little farther than I thought it would. He has ball and pin shoulders (restricted a little by the armor) pin elbows and cut wrists. The ab crunch and waist joint are present along with universal hip joints, double pin knees, cut thighs and pin ankles. He has no additional accessories other than his piece of collect and connect figure Bane. He visually pops in color and sculpt and is well articulated. However, the price point on these is pretty significant now so with no accessories or other goodies it's a tough sell. However a hard Bat fan will probably enjoy showing this guy off. He's a strong 4 stars. Bane is the tactical genius and venom user who broke Batman's back. As simplistic as his design is they somehow managed to make this a great figure. The sculpt is amazing with little details like the eyelets, stitching and bottoms on his boots, and like the zipper on his mask all hiding in there. His massive chest and arms look great as does the skin tone used. And speaking of the paint it's simple yet effective as well. The boots are a cool high gloss the, gloves more detailed than I thought they'd be and the mask looks perfect. Even his venom dispenser and tubing looks great. He's also as articulated as the smaller figures although some of the joints may differ. Bane is not as hulking as some recent C and C's but still huge - about 8 inches - in comparison to the regular figures. He's a surprising 5 star figure.

This review is from: DC Universe Classics Azrael Batman w/ Knightfall Armor Action Figure (Toy)
I don't know why but I've always been obsessed with the Batman Knightfall plot line from the early 90s. Overall I just thought the new Batman looked really cool. I mean come on, he can shoot flames! Way better than boring gray tights.
Anyway, this is the third Azrael Batman figure I own and by far it's the best of the lot. It looks much more like the genuine article in the comics than the other ones. It's even got the ammo belts for his guns. The only problem is that if you take him out of the box he's very awkward to try standing. He's way too top-heavy with the cape and his legs are kind of thin compared to the torso. A stand would have been nice, but it's not included. Instead you get Bane's right leg, which is useless unless you plan to buy the other five figures in the set. (Which I don't.) If you can find a way for him to stand he is pretty cool to look and relive fond memories. That is all.

This review is from: DC Universe Classics Azrael Batman w/ Knightfall Armor Action Figure (Toy)
This is a must for all of us who grew up in the nineties, and it's a great collector's item..
The presentation is great, a little shorter than I expected, but pretty close to what you see in the pictures. I won't take it out of the box, but I must say it has some minor paint issues aroun the armor's cape.. that aside, it's just a great toy to refreshen those fond memories of the time that the Bat was broken..
