DC Universe Classics Azrael Batman w/ Knightfall Armor Action Figure

I really love this Batman figure, he is more detailed than any Batman figure that came before him. Also he is a lot better than the Legends of Batman, KNIGHTQUEST figure. Here is why: The color of the KnightQuest Batman's suit is red instead of gray plus it does not have much color detail. For those who knows about KnightQuest Batman this is Jean Paul Valley's third and final Batman Armor. Back to the figure, the Legends of Batman toy series the KnightQuest figure has detachable armor cape. This version of the figure does not. But there is one thing about the figure, his arms don't bend as much since he has those flamethrower gas clamps. Overall he is an incredibly awesome figure! Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

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..

I'm a huge collector of all the dc universe figures. I was let down 'in' the previous series build quality. I was hesitant on how this wave would be. I loved the whole "Knightfall" storyline as a kid. So when I saw they where going to make the Azreal batman I was stoked- but hesitant due to the last series. Lucky for me' this figure exceeded all my expectations. I own all of the knightfall series and I swear this figure was ripped right off the pages!!! Excelent detail! I own close to a hundred Dc figures and this is my personal fav. Buy this period.

This was a must have for my Batman collection. The likeness is very detailed and looks great. This comic story line was one of my favorites. This is a must have for any Batman fan.

This is an exceptional figure. A few things do work against it from being a great figure. Some of the good things include an incredible presentation in terms of scuplt and overall paint application, fairly tight joints, good poseability, and a great depiction of a fan favorite character. All these things are fine, though some things that work against it are the inherent flaw in the design as evidenced by the very top heavy shoulder and cape area, limited deltoid movement, and problematic neck movement. The new double jointed knees allow for some great posability options, but due to the top-heaviness, getting him to stay in many poses is problematic. Surprisingly though I was able to get him to stay in a straight postured pose so kudos there! Lurching attack/bent knee/battle ready poses work great as they off set the weight in the back, too! This character seems to endure with fans probably because it was the first time the Batman model really deviated from the traditional look as well as the time honored philosophy of Bruce Wayne's crime fighting methods. Azrael as Batman was a more ruthless and hard edged crime fighter that was not even afraid to take lives - a type of Batman meets Punisher so to speak. His year long tenure as the Caped Crusader during the Knightfall/Knightquest story line in the comics has hardly been forgotten and now the Four Horsemen design team have finally given us their excellent depicion of this character. I personally have been waiting a very long time to own a version of this character but have never been able to attain the few figures that do exsist of him. This year was finally my chance. Time of course has not been kind to this design as looking at it now it truly shows its 90's timestamp with its gaudy and impractical feel. But much of this can be forgiven as we know we are dealing with comic book characters who are usually victims of their own huberis of fashion sense. This figure is excellent but probably only if you were a fan of this era of Batman stories and this character in particular. He of course doesn't stand in as a replacement for the real Batman but he is a fun version.

If you're a child of the 90's, like me and are or have been a DC comics/Batman fan this figure is for you.This is one of the better figures of DCUC wave 16 and has been a figure I've been looking forward to for some time now.During the Knightfall story arc of Batman comics where Bats was put up against Bane resulting in his back being injured, the Bats we know and love was put out of commission. This left Azreal, a vengeful vigilante/assassin reject of the order of St Dumas to take his place.This figure does a great job representing the character's overall look faithfully.Pros:1.The sculpt is awesome as expected from the 4 Horsemen(sculptors of DCUC and MOTUC).2.The figure is very durable. The chest armor is made from a very rubbery plastic allowing for the appropriate give when posing.3.A fun figure for grown up Kids as well as a cool looking figure for the younger kids.Cons:1.THe large "wings" are not made of a pliable material, so when posing or "playing" with, you must be careful.2.Articulation. The articulation is in some parts, more than what we're used to with DCUC as we have double hinged knees allowing for better crouching/kneeling poses and peg-swivel hands allowing for more range of motion on his hands. The problem lies in his elbow joint area. The armor on his bicept restricts a bit of the movement of his elbow joint.Also the "Wings" tend to get in the way at times.Besides that, you have a slick well sculpted figure that should stand up to anything you or your child throw at it!

My daughter saved up her Christmas money to purchase this Batman and I have to say it kept her busy forever! She's 10 and loves all superheros and villans and this guy was her top pick and perfect for the price. He is detailed nicely, pretty sturdy, and great for imaginative play. He fits in perfect with our collection!

This action figure is amazing to look at. It is unusual with the wings and very pretty to look at. My grandson loves Batman and I was happy to buy this for him.
