00:00 Well, I guess Victor was right what he said about the dinosaurs.
00:04 Here's a look at the McFarlane toys.
00:05 Batman fighting the Frozen, Page punchers, Mr. Freeze.
00:09 [MUSIC]
00:19 Theorizing absolute zero experimentation would slow the disease inflicting his wife, Nora.
00:38 Mr. Freeze and his beloved bride are accidentally thrust 16,000 years into the past.
00:42 Seeking to return to their proper century, the frigid fiend attempts to recreate the unintentional circumstances of his time manipulation experiment.
00:50 Callously unleashing a deadly new ice age upon the surrounding lands.
00:54 Robin, a brave young warrior from the neighboring tribe, pleads for aid from Batman, the noble leader of the Bat Clan.
01:00 Recognizing the existential threat of his peoples, Batman, Robin and a stoic Batgirl forge an alliance to stop the criminal king of cold.
01:10 Uh-oh, Weatherman is calling for pretty low temperature drops in prehistoric parts.
01:15 I better pack my saber-toothed tiger parka.
01:18 Before we get a closer look at the Batman fight the Frozen, Mr. Freeze, let's first grab the tape measure as well and see how tall the figure stands.
01:25 Also as well, I'd like to thank the folks over at McFarlane Toys that did provide this sample, not only of Mr. Freeze that we're about to have a look at,
01:31 backtrack just a bit with the Batman we also already had a look at, and the upcoming Robin and Batgirl that will be coming shortly to this channel.
01:38 Stay tuned for that.
01:40 In the meantime though, the chilling Mr. Freeze is 7 inches in height, or the figure is going to be about 18 centimeters tall.
01:47 I would imagine that sliding in this suit would be rather difficult, but we can certainly do that as a figure.
01:52 Let's slide over the Freeze that we're about to have a look at and bring in the earlier looked at Batman.
01:57 Now, I will say one thing about this is Mr. Freeze, if you were looking at this as like one large suit that he's wearing,
02:03 I feel like the figure probably could have been a little bit tad taller than what we're getting right here.
02:08 Clearly is the case when you're looking at the two figures.
02:10 Victor Freeze is quite shorter than when you're looking at, say, Bruce Wayne.
02:14 That's probably not going to be his real name back then, but the equivalent of that's the Batman from the Bat-Clan.
02:19 Yeah, rather, I mean, I would have loved if this figure could have been done as, say, a build-a-figure,
02:24 where much larger pieces could have been collected as we say looked at all, I guess in this case, probably would have been three figures rather than four.
02:31 But maybe as a build-a-figure piece, I think really Mr. Freeze is a Bat-figure would have looked fantastic.
02:36 He still looks good, though, granted, but he's just a little bit on a short side for me.
02:40 One thing I would say Victor isn't short on is the accessories that the figure comes included with.
02:45 As of course, as always the case, the figure is going to come included with a comic if he's a page puncher figure.
02:49 And this time around, we do get again the first and only issue, I'm guessing, of fighting the Frozen with this time around Mr. Freeze featured on the front.
02:56 How many F's did I just say there? I'm just going to bring in no Batman's cover so you can see.
03:00 Like the covers are going to be very differently done, but if you look through the actual pages, the pages are exactly the same.
03:06 That's always the case when we look at these page puncher figures.
03:09 The artwork, though, is fantastic on this.
03:11 Really of the two, I'm obviously being quite biased by saying that the Mr. Freeze cover, I think, is a lot cooler.
03:17 I'm going to try to reserve the number of puns I'm going to say in the course of this review.
03:21 Just really like the artwork and I really like the suit of Mr. Freeze here.
03:25 That suit also, if you'd like to take yourself a souvenir of that, comes also included with a trading card.
03:30 So if this is something that you can't obviously fold up, don't fold it up, whatever you do, and try to put it in your pocket.
03:34 The card, though, is a much more easier to access, much easier to transport around with you.
03:39 Smaller version of that same cool cover.
03:41 The artwork, again, I don't know if you can actually see, does have that symbol behind him.
03:46 But again, just the artwork on this guy.
03:48 And flip this around to the back, the name Mr. Freeze doesn't actually say Victor Freeze.
03:52 It only simply just names the name of the character, the villain character.
03:56 And then the paragraph, while being a little on the longer side, is the exact same read up that we got as well with Batman.
04:02 So there's nothing really being done differently.
04:04 And speaking of the Batman, I'm just going to reach to the side and grab the Batman trading card so you can see.
04:08 They're exactly in the same, in the sense that the back sections, except for obviously this part right here,
04:13 the read ups are going to be exactly the same.
04:15 But at least we've got ourselves source material featured on the front.
04:19 I'm going to move those cards out of the way.
04:20 Those will be going into my sheet protectors really shortly after this review.
04:23 The figure also comes included with a display stand.
04:26 Nothing really different here.
04:27 I had a little, I don't know, like a piece of styrofoam or something left on there.
04:30 But other than that, nothing really new to report here.
04:33 It's all the same DC logo stand with the same DC logo printed down below here.
04:38 And one small peg off to the side that can attach to either one of Mr. Freeze's feet.
04:42 Going to move that to the side.
04:44 The figure also comes included with his freeze gun.
04:47 Of course, attaching the freeze gun, he has to have a source of power.
04:51 The thing that feeds to the gun is actually the big tank that he has on the back of the body.
04:54 Both actually, in both of the cases, just going to kind of hold the gun next to the tank.
04:59 The coloring on this, as well as the coloring on Mr. Freeze, is kind of hard to pinpoint.
05:03 In a way, it looks like it's kind of a greenish, silverish gray.
05:08 Take that with whatever you want.
05:10 But as you can see, it's a really interesting looking tank.
05:12 In a way, I kind of wish that they could have added a little bit something else to this.
05:15 I mean, I really like the coloring, but like little icicles would have really gone a long way.
05:19 I think also if they just frosted it just a little bit.
05:22 So it would look like it's super cold to the touch.
05:25 I mean, there's a little bit of blue that's added to the side here of the gun.
05:28 But other than that, it's pretty much just molded to the only plastic color.
05:31 And then this section right here looks like it's an attached piece.
05:34 It's the hoses that run, of course, from the tank to the gun itself.
05:37 When you are attaching this to Mr. Freeze, I noticed there is a specific way to do this.
05:41 Now, if you flip the figure around to the back, you can see there's obviously the little hole there.
05:45 If you put the tank this way, now before you tell me down below it's the wrong way,
05:49 it is actually, well, it's the wrong way in the sense that if you wanted to have the cable on this side,
05:54 first of all, he doesn't have a gripping hand.
05:56 If you want to try to put it on this way, then of course you're now starting to stretch the plastic of the tubes.
06:01 Rather, the correct way, it seems, is this way here.
06:04 I'm sure many of people are already telling me that down below here.
06:07 The little nozzle there, the little "prr-prr" at the top there, I don't think it actually makes that "prr-prr" noise.
06:13 But the little part to the top, the pointier top to the tank actually will be the thing that's facing forward.
06:18 Just before we actually look at Mr. Freeze, I want to show you guys just the detail work done to the tank alone.
06:22 You got little meters there, of course, little knobs and little dials and stuff that he can turn.
06:27 It all looks like it's also run like automatic, where it's got little pulley systems that move this.
06:32 Seems a little bit more outdated for Mr. Freeze, the fact that he's actually constructing a somewhat temporal temperature machine
06:39 that takes him back 16,000 years.
06:41 I feel like the tank is a little more outdated, but it kind of goes really well with the designing of the character anyways.
06:46 He has sort of that old vintage subterranean scuba suit going on there.
06:51 By the way, you can take the gun, and because he only has the gripping hand on the one side,
06:55 you obviously only have one choice to choose from.
06:57 Just fit that into his hand. There we go.
07:00 And pop that all the way in, and then Mr. Freeze, of course, now has his gun.
07:03 Adding though to that, I wish, again, they could have added a few little icicles or something on the end of the gun,
07:08 so it actually looks like he's been using it.
07:10 But man, it does look quite good though in Mr. Freeze's hands.
07:13 I think for right now though, what I will do is just take the tank off.
07:17 There is, by the way, no section that I can see at least where this attaches.
07:20 If they had only added a little peg, something you could have actually attached this to, say, the side of the tank,
07:26 if you didn't always want to have Mr. Freeze holding the gun,
07:28 there really would have been a nice little place that they could have added a little peg or something like that.
07:33 But I'm going to just take this off for right now, just because, again, it's going to make things a little bit easier when it comes to looking at the figure.
07:38 And certainly when it gets to tackling the articulation on him, it's going to be a lot easier not having a tank on the back of the figure's body.
07:44 Spin this though back around to the front.
07:46 Again, looking at the head sculpt here, it's sort of like a vintage-looking scuba suit.
07:50 You only really get the red eyes of Mr. Freeze.
07:52 I don't even know if that's his red eyes.
07:53 It's probably, I think, the machine.
07:54 Based on the comic, it seems to be the eyes from the machine, like the internal machine of the suit that he's basically wearing here.
08:01 Because at one point, it looks like it's cracked and you can kind of still see his eyes underneath it.
08:05 But I mean, like, it's a really interesting-looking suit.
08:08 Mostly done here in silver, but again, like trying to describe this color.
08:11 This time around, unlike the tank, it clearly looks more like a darker gray.
08:15 And then he's got all these little additional silver patches that he's added in there as well.
08:19 Now, on the side, it seems to be the case.
08:22 I'm just going to go back to the comic here, for example.
08:24 On the comic, it almost seems to be the case that these are icicles.
08:27 And just quickly, again, flipping through this, I want to find a good...
08:31 Now, see, like right here, this looks like it's fur, or sort of the equivalent of fur sticking out the shoulders and the sections of his gloves.
08:38 But then looking at the front of it, doesn't it actually look like icicles?
08:42 So I can't tell whether if the things that are sticking out from his body is just escaping air that's freezing.
08:48 Like right here, it does actually look like it's ice.
08:50 I'm willing to think, I'm willing to bet that this is actually ice and not specifically fur.
08:54 But again, like just to look through, where's that page I want to look at?
08:58 When he's inside, say, the room, I would imagine that the ice would have already melted.
09:01 I'm still going to stick with the idea that that's supposed to be ice.
09:04 The ice itself, though painted this time around in white, is actually more of a softer plastic.
09:08 It's all trimmed around the sides of his shoulders, and he's got a few little areas here sticking out the ends of his sleeve.
09:15 It doesn't seem to be the case on this side, so maybe he's controlling the temperature better on this side of his body,
09:19 and the temperature is sort of escaping, the cold is escaping out the side here, causing maybe these icicles to form.
09:25 But the shape and the body of the character really does look good.
09:28 He's got all these little levers and dials there on the front of the figure's body.
09:31 He also seems like he's got these little ice capsules that he's likely going to be using to fill the cartridge, of course, for the tank.
09:37 I mean, it isn't quite the same size, or unless maybe those are ice, icicle grenades, for example.
09:43 But again, it's just a really neat looking figure.
09:45 He's got large, very clunky looking boots.
09:48 Still retain articulation, but he's got some nice additional riveted points that they've added in there as well.
09:53 There's nothing really I would say I dislike about the figure, other than I just think he could have been a little bit bigger than what he is right now.
09:59 Just imagine this guy, if you will, this much bigger and a little bit bigger and bulkier.
10:03 Yeah, that would be a really great bath figure had they gone that direction instead.
10:07 For the figure's articulation, going back to his big giant dome here, the head is on a ball joint,
10:12 despite what seems to be limitations for his head sculpt, which again, I'll just kind of rotate around so you guys can see everything from all the detailed standpoints.
10:19 I like the way really that the helmet looks like it's been hammered in, like he hand forged it himself.
10:24 As well, really, like all the armor that he has on his body looks like he's been like denting it and hammering it out himself.
10:29 Probably wasn't going to be using a hammer, but it definitely looks a little more cruder in design.
10:34 Head sculpt though, being on a ball joint, does have the head looking up that far.
10:37 You can have the head looking down, but really by looking it down, it's only going to be,
10:41 it won't be able to move any further forward or any further down than what it is right now.
10:45 Head can also rock back and forth also.
10:48 The shoulders do rotate all the way around.
10:50 Now, these spikes of ice, I'm again leaning to believe that these are spikes,
10:54 are soft enough, at least on plastic, that if you wanted to say move his arm,
10:58 the plastic isn't the type that's going to be breaking necessarily.
11:01 There's obviously a little bit of give at play there.
11:03 The shoulders come out or shoulders allow the arms to come out 90 degrees.
11:07 The figure does have not a bicep swivel necessarily,
11:10 but he has rather instead a forearm swivel and moves back and forth there.
11:14 He has only just a single hinge possessing in his elbow and hands rotate also all the way around.
11:18 He's got all these additional dials there on the sides of his sleeves.
11:21 Now, what's rather interesting though, is if you look at this side,
11:24 I keep drawing my attention away from looking at the figure's blasted posability,
11:28 but if you look at this side, he actually has dials.
11:30 Maybe he's controlling again the temperature better on this side.
11:33 He doesn't have dials on this side, but again,
11:35 like that could be temperature control for like all the rest of the figure's body.
11:39 I'm analyzing this probably a little bit too much.
11:41 But body still though is on a ball joint, so you can move it back and forth this way.
11:44 You can't really rotate also the body all the way around.
11:46 There's nothing really necessarily getting in the way.
11:49 You just kind of worry that the tanks don't hit this front of the figure's body.
11:52 That'll escape the temperature and Victor Freeze, I'm sure, will die.
11:55 We don't want that.
11:56 The figure's feet do move forward.
11:58 They do move out.
11:59 They do split as well.
12:00 This is, by the way, all softer plastic.
12:02 One thing I will say though about moving the legs too far forward all the time,
12:06 is it does then leave behind sort of this gap space.
12:09 I have not yet caught myself doing this in the review,
12:12 but after I've been kind of playing and moving the figure around for a few minutes,
12:16 like just prior to hitting a record,
12:18 I did notice like I had to kind of smooth it back down.
12:21 Because if you're moving it too much further forward like this,
12:24 it sort of does leave that little gap space between the thigh
12:27 and the inside cavity of what would be his lower torso.
12:30 The figure does have knee articulation,
12:32 and every single time I do this, I tell you, I keep pinching myself.
12:36 Right here, right here, I pinch myself either in the ankle,
12:39 or I pinch myself right at the back of the leg.
12:41 Nobody cares.
12:42 Either way though, the bend in the knee allows at least the lower leg to rotate back and forth.
12:46 What they've rather done cleverly is that they've added the kneecap to the top of the leg,
12:50 not at the bottom.
12:51 So even when you are bending and rotating the knee,
12:53 you'll see that it moves rather nicely underneath the knee pad.
12:56 The boots themselves don't move any bit after this point here.
13:00 I mean, they're only simply just sculpted in place.
13:02 In a way, they kind of look at this, it looks like there's a cut right here
13:05 where I would swear to you, I'd swear to you I'd be able to rotate that,
13:08 but that's just the way they sculpted the figure.
13:10 Rather though, he does have a hinge joint back and forth on the ankle.
13:13 Don't pinch yourself, please.
13:15 Back and forth this way as well.
13:16 And the figure also has toe articulation, even though he's got really large boots.
13:19 Big, big toe articulation.
13:21 But for me at least, the figure of this wave,
13:24 and it's probably a little bit hard to kind of say that now
13:26 because we've yet to really look at Robin, we've yet to look at Batgirl.
13:29 In a way though, that kind of diminishes the value of Batgirl and Robin.
13:33 Let's, you know what, let's just get the figure on his display stand.
13:35 I don't want to be while I'm talking away, have the figure falling at all.
13:38 But yeah, the figure does look fantastic in Mr. Freeze.
13:41 Now as well, in addition to this one here, let's get him to stand.
13:45 In addition to the one that we get here from McFarlane's team,
13:47 this of course is part of the Fighting the Frozen wave,
13:50 they have as well, they have as well, thank you,
13:53 released a black and white version of this figure
13:56 that we will be also looking at in an upcoming video.
13:58 Essentially taking the same design of the characters,
14:01 sucking away all the colors, leaving really behind a basic white body.
14:05 And then he's also going to have like the additional black detailing added on top of that.
14:08 Like I said, we will be looking at in the upcoming review.
14:11 All in all though, a great looking figure.
14:12 The only thing I would certainly say though is just a little bit of touching up,
14:15 just a little bit of touching up, adding a little bit of icicles onto the gun for example,
14:19 maybe also as well to the tank.
14:21 And yeah, maybe if had only the figure just been a little bit bigger,
14:24 that's the only thing I would have said.
14:25 Other than that though, if you get the chance,
14:27 have maybe no real interest to get the rest of the cave people,
14:30 that's Batman, that's Robin, that's Batgirl,
14:32 but at least you did like the Mr. Freeze.
14:33 Definitely it's worth picking up though, it's a fun figure to have on the shelf.
14:37 Now I will admit I'm a bit behind when it comes to reading Batman comics
14:40 to tell you if this design of Mr. Freeze
14:42 lived any further past the pages of Fighting the Frozen.
14:45 If it wasn't the case, feel like it's a missed opportunity that DC didn't carry over
14:50 a rather terrifying portrayal of Victor Freeze,
14:53 sort of inside a scuba suit,
14:55 which is a rather different take on the character.
14:57 Instead of actually being able to see his face under a clear dome,
15:00 what we get rather instead is two large beady little eyes looking right at you.
15:04 Speaking though of missed opportunities,
15:06 something I did already talk about in this review of missed opportunity,
15:08 I feel by not releasing this guy as a build of figure.
15:11 It may have also involved them having to release a fourth figure from this wave,
15:15 and maybe they had planned at one point to do a build of figure of Frozen Mr. Freeze,
15:19 but yeah, just think if this guy was maybe about half a size bigger,
15:23 maybe more in line with like the recently looked at Doomsday, for example.
15:26 Just big, just bulky, just menacing.
15:29 I think Mr. Freeze here looks good now,
15:31 but just think of how much better he could have potentially looked
15:34 if he was a build of figure instead.
15:36 Also from certainly a standpoint of people that were maybe on the fence
15:40 of getting the other three figures.
15:41 Let's just say for example, like myself, they love the Mr. Freeze,
15:44 but they have really remotely no interest to get the Batman, the Robin or the Batgirl.
15:48 At least the incentive from a standpoint of selling these figures
15:52 by adding included larger build of figure pieces for Mr. Freeze here,
15:56 there were at least we the nudge in the direction of getting the collectors
15:59 to pick up the other figures, at least to then build the Mr. Freeze.
16:02 Other than being bigger and bulkier,
16:04 I think he really turned out to be a great looking Mr. Freeze.
16:06 And I would love to see this look of Mr. Freeze,
16:09 again, survive beyond the pages of Fighting Forever or Fighting the Frozen,
16:13 not Fighting Forever.
16:15 Big thank you once again though to the folks over at McFarlane Toys
16:18 that did provide this sample of the Batman Page Punchers
16:21 Fighting the Frozen, not Forever, Fighting the Frozen Mr. Freeze.
16:25 Have you had the chance to pick up this figure?
16:26 Let me know down below in the comment section.
16:28 And also would you guys like to have seen this figure be in fact released
16:31 as a collect build of figure, a BA or BAF figure,
16:34 rather than actually being sold separately.
16:36 That way he could be a little bit larger, a little bit more imposing,
16:38 a little bit cooler Mr. Freeze.
16:40 Let me know down below what your thoughts are on this figure.
16:43 Also as well, if you guys are interested and would like to get this one for yourself,
16:46 it should be available over on Entertainment Earth.
16:49 The figure as well as the earlier looked at Batman,
16:51 as well as the Robin and the Batgirl that we will be looking at,
16:54 should be over there as well.
16:55 Also, if you guys are interested, if you guys enjoyed this video,
16:57 I want to hit with a like.
16:58 If you guys are loving the content you guys are seeing
17:00 and certainly would like to stick around for more,
17:02 because like I said, we are going to still be looking at the Robin
17:04 and we are still going to be looking at the Batgirl
17:06 to round out the remaining two figures of the four figure Page Punchers Wave.
17:10 Courtesy again, the folks over at McFarlane Toys.
17:12 As always guys, thanks for watching.
17:14 See you guys next time.
