00:00Sometimes two halves don't always make a whole.

00:03Here's a look at McFarlane Toys, DC Multiverse, DC Silver Age, Two-Face.

00:24Harvey Dent has led a deeply conflicted life,

00:27possessing a split personality that veers between the two extremes of good and evil.

00:30Dent goes by the name of Two-Face.

00:32It's an apt description of his physical appearance,

00:34scarred by acid into an outwardly becoming the monster he once hid away from the world.

00:39Two-Face has become a tragic figure,

00:41and one of Batman's most unpredictable and dangerous opponents.

00:44Care to flip to find out the fate of Gotham City's crime fighter?

00:47Wow.

00:48Before we get a closer look at the new DC Multiverse, Silver Age, Two-Face,

00:52let's grab the tape measure and see how tall the figure stands.

00:54Now, I did actually find this one on the Facebook selling group.

00:56I bought this from the seller of Popeye the Toy Man.

00:59Yeah, if you guys would like to get your hands on some new DC Multiverse figures,

01:02check out Popeye the Toy Man.

01:03I'll provide links down below in the video description.

01:05As for the height of Two-Face,

01:06Harvey seems to stand at about seven inches in height.

01:09That translates the ad to a figure that's about 17 and a half centimeters tall.

01:14As for other figures, let's bring in the bats.

01:16This happens to be, of course, Batman from the Nightfall.

01:18It always seems to be the one I go to.

01:20Let's bring in also some other villains.

01:21Here's what Two-Face looks like along with both the Penguin and also Mr. Freeze.

01:26And seeing as I did, I also still happen to have them as part of my collection.

01:29I wanted to bring in the Mattel DC, what, DC Universe?

01:32DC Universe Classics Two-Face?

01:34For the time, it was a fine-looking figure.

01:35I mean, obviously, they used the body again for multiple releases.

01:38But you can see, like, very much similar cues get carried over from the DC Universe days of Two-Face

01:43to now the one that we're getting from Todd and his team.

01:45Now, considering this is a McFarlane toys digital release,

01:48the figure does also come in clue with a scratch card.

01:50Oh, what lotters will we win?

01:51And let's go ahead and actually, I'll just take myself my nail clippers here.

01:55I'm just going to scratch away the instructions.

01:57By the way, you go to www.amtd.gg to download the McFarlane Toys digital viewer app for your Mac or PC.

02:05Scratch the above, which I'm about to do in a second, to reveal your one-time use code.

02:10Create your account and log in.

02:11Then click to redeem one in the top left corner of the screen

02:14and follow the instructions in the pop-up window.

02:17Did everybody get that?

02:18I hope everybody got that.

02:19Anyways, though, let's go ahead and just scratch away.

02:21Obviously, this will also be only eligible for one individual.

02:24You don't have to tell me who that individual is.

02:26Don't be the one that puts your hand up and says,

02:28Oh, it was me. It was me. It was me.

02:29There's your code right there.

02:31I want to make sure that you can read that that's not...

02:33Is that a W? That's a W and an I.

02:35A W and an I.

02:37Got that?

02:38Get it? Got it?

02:39Oh, good.

02:40Okay, let's move it off to the side.

02:41The figure does also come in clue with a trading card,

02:43although the trading card doesn't look at all like the Harvey Dent that we're getting with this release.

02:46And actual fact, there is two releases of Two-Face so far.

02:50I would love if they just churn out like multiples of these things with different color schemes.

02:55By the way, though, just between you and me, don't tell anybody else.

02:57We're going to be also looking at this Two-Face in an upcoming review.

03:01Shh! Don't tell everybody.

03:02But I love the look of the card.

03:04I love that it's Silver Age Two-Face as well.

03:06On the back of the card, the debut...

03:09Boy, I had a hard time getting that out.

03:10The debut is Detective Comics Volume 1, number 66, dating as far back as August 1942.

03:18If the read-up looks good, it happens to be the same one that this person with a soothed voice read at the beginning of this video.

03:24I'm going to put that card off to the side.

03:26And I'm sure, though, when we will be looking at the other Two-Face,

03:28a similar, in fact, identical card will also be coming to clue with the figure as well.

03:32Now, though, I hate to be the bearer of the bad news, but when flipping the coin, it came up bad.

03:36Unfortunately, the figure doesn't come in clue with any other thing than the coin that's already molded to his hand.

03:40Two-Face, yes, does, in fact, come in clue with also a display stand.

03:43It's no real different than the regular display stands we've got.

03:46Other than the treatment printed on the top here, we've got McFarlane Toys Digital.

03:50I don't know why I'm riding my hand across it.

03:52It does actually feel like it's a little bit of a texturing done to it,

03:55but a neighboring peg to the far corner that can plug into either one of Harvey's boots or shoes or flip-flops.

04:00I guess not really flip-flops.

04:02Let's move back off to the side, and let's establish how good of a figure this actually is.

04:06I have been waiting a while for this Two-Face to be released.

04:08I mean, you don't really have to wait all that while when it comes to McFarlane Toys releases, for that matter.

04:13I mean, it seems like they announce it one week, and then just only a week later,

04:17these things start to show up in shelves.

04:19Granted, though, as a Canadian collector, you know me.

04:22Couldn't find this guy in the wild in the stores,

04:24but luckily I did, again, find this from the Facebook selling group.

04:27Again, though, to be the bearer of the bad news,

04:29the figure it sadly only comes included with one accessory,

04:31and the one accessory is already planted, molded to the ends of his fingers.

04:35Yeah, Two-Face does come included with a flippable coin,

04:37although not much flipping is going to happen this time around.

04:40When you also look at the coin, too,

04:42it doesn't look like there's really much in the way of printing on either side of it.

04:45Now, I know for the size of this coin, it would be next to impossible to print heads or tails,

04:51or heads and heads with a scratching on the one side.

04:53Still, though, it's nice that they included the coin.

04:55I can't expect them to have the coin separately,

04:57because, oh man, had they included a coin as a separate accessory,

05:01this guy would have lost it right away.

05:04I don't mind that necessarily the coin is molded to his fingers and his thumb.

05:08I would have rather, though, that they could have also included a secondary hand

05:12that didn't have this at all.

05:13So you could have then chose for yourself,

05:15if you want to have him displayed, for example, with a coin,

05:18you could do that.

05:19If you didn't want to have him with always a coin in his hand to flip,

05:21you could just pop that off and swap it out with a different hand instead.

05:25It's not even really a case either that you can use another hand from a DC multiverse figure,

05:29unless you happen to have one that happens to be this red color.

05:32It's very few and far between.

05:34The coloring, though, for his head sculpt and the head sculpt alone is fantastic.

05:39If you like the Silver Age look to Too Faced,

05:41I mean, I prefer really Too Faced to have hair on the side of his head.

05:44I know, you know, from a practical standpoint,

05:46if someone's going to be burned that horribly like that,

05:49the chances of hair growth probably after that won't happen at all.

05:52But I like the idea of having crazier hair on one side for Too Faced

05:55and then sort of the slicked back hairstyle on the other.

05:59The only thing I could really, though, offer up as a bit of a criticism is,

06:02while I do like the scarred look on the one side of his face,

06:04I do feel like, though, the regular skin color is a little too light,

06:08had they only maybe just darkened that just a little bit.

06:11To, though, be fair, if we look at the DC Universe Classics version of Too Faced,

06:15well, again, this one would have had the pinstriping.

06:17This one doesn't have the pinstriping.

06:19You can have, you can certainly see there's very similar inspirations there.

06:22I mean, look at the scarred face on this guy.

06:26When was the last time I had a look at this figure?

06:27Probably at least about 10 years or so ago.

06:30But you can see, like, one side, well, this side actually is not really white.

06:33It looks kind of more like an off-grayish white.

06:35But then clean white on the one side, dark jet black on the other.

06:39And, of course, they alternated the coloring of the tie.

06:42Now, again, there's going to be the other release that's going to have the orange shirt

06:45or the orange jacket that we will be looking at in an upcoming review.

06:48But, yeah, I love the look of this Too Faced.

06:51More classic stuff.

06:52And it really does seem to be the case with McFarlane Toys,

06:54that as we all know, the company's going to be losing the license soon.

06:57And it seems like they are churning out some of the best figures they've done in years.

07:01And it happens to be so sadly coming at the end of the figure's lifespan.

07:06For the rest of the figures, obviously, for the lower legs, it's just basically wearing suits.

07:10I would imagine, though, they're probably going to be using this body again,

07:12maybe for a black mask, for example.

07:14It's funny, though, I say that,

07:15because black mask was also using the same body as the Too Faced that's just over there.

07:19Well, this Too Faced right here.

07:22For the figure's articulation, though,

07:23starting first, obviously, with Too Faced's head,

07:26that's going to rotate all the way around.

07:28It loses some of the illusion, obviously,

07:30because he can't be scarred.

07:31I mean, he's scarred up the middle of the neck.

07:33The kind of thing that's funny, though,

07:34is that when you're looking at the neck color,

07:36I mean, it's pretty close to the head,

07:38although the neck is just a little bit shinier.

07:40Not that that's a big deal at all.

07:42Head can, of course, rock back and forth as well.

07:45I probably would likely display the figure with the coin in his hand like this,

07:48wondering, wondering if he should find the fate through flipping a coin.

07:51For his upper torso,

07:54his upper torso is actually on a very generous ball joint,

07:56despite the fact that his jacket covers over so much more of that.

08:00The jacket is a pretty soft plastic that they put basically over a regular,

08:04I would imagine, DC Multiverse body.

08:06The arms, of course, rotate all the way around.

08:08You can take those arms, by the way, too, in case you're curious,

08:10and, yeah, you can give them a T-pose.

08:12Hinge them out at 90 degrees.

08:14The figure does have a swivel cut here on the good,

08:16a swivel cut here on the bad.

08:18The figure does also have a double hinge on his elbow.

08:20The hands rotate all the way around,

08:22whether you want to use this hand or the other hand here.

08:25Legs split up, and they split pretty generously, too,

08:28despite even having the jacket going as low as it does.

08:31Yeah, he can almost do a Van Damme.

08:33Take the legs, of course, moving forward.

08:35You can move them back.

08:36A little bit of a swivel at the top of the thigh.

08:38One thing that's kind of also interesting,

08:39I want to point out before I forget my train of thought,

08:42the top of the jacket is actually more of a smoother plastic.

08:45See that?

08:45Not that you can really gauge that by this guy running his thumb across that.

08:49That's kind of disturbing.

08:50Stop that.

08:51But down below, though, what's interesting is that if you look at the lower legs,

08:54the lower legs seem like they're striped.

08:57And I don't know, again, if maybe they have maybe used,

09:00maybe they have even, in fact, used this from like a Joker, for example.

09:03But like down below here,

09:04it's clearly more sculpted differently than the top of his jacket.

09:07It's a little bit of a breakup because it does kind of mean that he's shopped at two different stores.

09:11When I was first buying a suit like years ago,

09:14I remember going into a Moors, I think it was Moors, the suit people.

09:17And the guy was trying to explain to me that they don't sell suits as one set.

09:20You have to buy the jacket, then you have to buy the pants.

09:22And I'm thinking to myself, why would you sell a suit as separate pieces?

09:26But then the guy that was convincing me,

09:28even though he had, unfortunately, hair weaves, like little hair plugs,

09:32not that that was really the big thing that kind of I took away from,

09:34but it was just weird the fact he was trying to sell me

09:36on like pants that didn't look the same color as the jacket.

09:39I was thinking to myself, like, why wouldn't you have not just sold the suit together?

09:43What were we talking about here?

09:44Oh, right, his pants.

09:46His pants don't have much in the way of swivel at the top.

09:48They do, however, though, have a double hinge in his knee.

09:50And he's got articulation here in his feet.

09:53Not only can you move up, obviously, up and down.

09:55You can also rock them back and forth.

09:57And the figure does also have toe articulation as well.

10:00One thing to note, too, is that I do like that they added a little bit of a gap space

10:04between the bottom cuff of his leg and where his feet start.

10:07Now, where his shoes now have a little bit of allotment,

10:10it's a lot easier to move the feet up and down.

10:12I really don't like when companies continue, not all the companies,

10:15some companies do that, where they have the pant leg going so low to the feet

10:18that you can't move the shoes up and down.

10:21This one, there's a little bit of freedom because there's a gap space right there.

10:25Oh, man, oh, man.

10:26What a great looking Two-Face.

10:28Now, again, like this guy was, well, actually,

10:30he was basically released in two figures basically at the exact same time.

10:33And there's the black and white treatment that we obviously wrapped up the review here with.

10:37Why is this guy now having a hard time to stand?

10:39And then, of course, there's also going to be the orange jacket version.

10:42Now, I don't want to be starting things by saying this,

10:45but I feel like maybe, let's just get this guy on a display stand.

10:48I feel like maybe I'm going to be liking the other one just a little bit more.

10:51I think if you're going to go crazy when it comes to Two-Face, go all out.

10:55I mean, some people really like the fact that good and evil are represented by black and white.

10:59I prefer, though, Two-Face to be all out, all crazy.

11:02And I do actually like the fact that when it comes to Two-Face,

11:04I mean, clearly, I know Two-Face has had a black and white jacket treatment before.

11:09He's done it also in the animated series of Batman.

11:11But I also really like that to look at this guy, it reminds me a lot of this guy.

11:15And one of my favorite times of collecting the DC figures

11:17happened to be the stuff that we're getting from Mattel.

11:20Two-Face is a fine-looking figure.

11:22Truth be told, though, I really wish that the figure could have come in clear with some accessories.

11:25I mean, one thing also to note as well is, clearly for the mandate,

11:29the figure can't have any guns in his hand.

11:31It's funny, though, it's funny that it happened to have this figure now still in the frame.

11:35Because that figure also came in clear with a Tommy gun.

11:38You know, the Tommy gun is a little warped.

11:40The thing about it, though, is that you can use, if you happen to have this figure,

11:43you can get the Tommy gun.

11:44Oh, wait, are you going to do it?

11:45You can take the Tommy gun, yeah, and put it into his hand.

11:48And it seems to be the perfect fit.

11:50So while the bag, this guy's been locked away in a bag prison so many years,

11:53I don't think his Tommy gun will be, though.

11:55Instead, it's going to be displayed with the one that we get now from McFarlane Toys.

11:59Yeah, yeah, I know.

12:00The Tommy gun wasn't really included with Two-Face,

12:02but it looked too good to put back in the bag.

12:04That's where the other Two-Face is right now.

12:07Two-Face, you'll probably be coming out for the other review of him.

12:10Now, the one thing, unfortunately, that's a bit of a bummer when it comes to the figure,

12:13is not so much the fact that, yeah, he didn't come include with a gun.

12:16I know that guns are big no-no.

12:18But had they maybe included a secondary hand so that you didn't always have to have the figure

12:23displayed with a coin in his hand?

12:25I know it's one thing that Two-Faces often do come with.

12:27It's so much simpler than having a standalone coin.

12:31Because, you know, you can't just put a coin separately.

12:34Although the DC Direct one did a really neat one where it actually had a flipping coin.

12:38I might actually bring that one in when we had a look at the other Two-Face.

12:40But, you know, I know it's simpler and it's less likely to be lost had they just molded

12:45it to his hand.

12:45I get that.

12:46But maybe they could have also just included a secondary hand.

12:49So if you didn't want to always have the figure displayed with a coin.

12:52I know he's obsessed with coins.

12:53But, yeah, it'd be nice for a change every once in a while.

12:56Oh, I see what I did there.

12:57Coin change.

12:59Nobody else got that.

13:00What do you guys, though, think of Two-Face?

13:02Let me know down below in the comment section.

13:03Is this an instant pickup?

13:05Or are you guys maybe holding off and getting the other digital?

13:08Which is actually kind of funny, though,

13:09because I think this is the Platinum Edition Two-Face.

13:12And yet, though, the other Two-Face that has the orange and purple jacket,

13:15I think it's just the regular release of the DC Multiverse

13:18or the McFarlane Toys digital version.

13:20So we're also going to be kind of looking at them

13:22kind of in somewhat an opposite order.

13:24But which one do you guys end up picking up?

13:26Let me know down below in the comment section.

13:28Again, if you guys are interested and would like to get this one for yourself,

13:31I did find this on the Facebook selling group.

13:33I know, yes, you could probably easily find this through other means also.

13:36But, I mean, like as a Canadian collector,

13:37I mean, what good, what chance do I really have

13:39to find this in the wild?

13:40I found this, though, through the Facebook selling group.

13:42And I found this through this seller, Popeye the Toyman.

13:45If you guys did enjoy this video, do it a solid.

13:46Throw it a like.

13:47You guys want to stick around for more so?

13:49Yeah, I hope so.

13:50Hit that subscribe.

13:51Turn on that bell.

13:52And, of course, as always, come back.

13:54As always, thanks for watching.

13:56See you guys next time.

13:57See you.

13:58Keep playing.

14:07Bye.

14:10Bye.

14:15You.

14:15High.
