Batman Noel Gets the Gold Label Treatment: An Up-Close Look at McFarlane’s Latest DC Multiverse Collectible

In the latest toy news, McFarlane Toys has released an exclusive DC Multiverse 7-inch Batman from Batman: Noel, showcasing their collectible Autograph Gold Label treatment. Based on Lee Bermejo’s gritty and expressive artwork, this figure is a bold tribute to the comic’s hard-hitting, atmospheric style. From initial images and video reviews, this one looks like a collector’s dream come true—especially for Bat-fans eager for something both familiar and refreshingly unique.

Here’s a closer look at what makes this figure stand out and how it measures up in McFarlane’s expansive DC Multiverse line-up.

The Gold Label Treatment for the Batman: Noel Collectible

The Batman: Noel figure doesn’t just bring Bermejo’s vision to life; it gives it an edge with McFarlane Toys’ Autograph Gold Label treatment. This exclusive edition includes Todd McFarlane’s autograph, making it more than just a display piece—it’s a small, signed slice of comic and toy history. Autograph series releases don’t come by often, so having a Batman figure in this category will likely stir a frenzy among collectors.

McFarlane’s attention to Bermejo’s character design is unmistakable here. Right from the cape’s rough texture to the costume’s intricate detailing, you get a real sense of the grittiness that characterises Batman: Noel. There’s something satisfyingly weighty about this version of Batman. And let’s be honest, those armoured, layered Batsuits have a way of making the figure both look and feel substantial.

Sculpt and Articulation: A True Standout in the DC Multiverse Series

One of the big pluses here is the sculpt detail, which is superb. This Batman features Bermejo’s iconic take on the character—complete with a weathered, thick cowl and the kind of musculature that implies he’s been fighting Gotham’s worst for years. The face has an intense, almost haunted expression, capturing Bermejo’s grimy Gotham style perfectly. The articulation is equally solid, with over 22 moving parts that make it not only display-worthy but highly poseable. From crouching on a building ledge to preparing for an action-packed stance, you can showcase this Batman in all kinds of dynamic ways.

While the articulation is decent, some collectors have noted that the design sacrifices a little movement flexibility in the upper body due to the bulkier, padded aesthetic. So, while posing options abound, you might be working around some extra ‘muscle.’

Accessories and Display Options

The Batman: Noel Gold Label figure includes a batarang, grapnel gun, and the classic DC Multiverse stand. And while these are standard fare for a Batman figure, they add a practical touch to its gritty aesthetic. The display stand is particularly appreciated here—there’s something about a Batman that can stand tall on the shelf without toppling over that warms the heart.

The batarang looks particularly sharp and well-sized, fitting nicely into the figure’s hand without looking like an afterthought. This feels like a figure that’s been designed not only with collectors in mind but with the intention of capturing Batman’s imposing presence.

Who is Lee Bermejo?

For those unfamiliar with Batman: Noel‘s original illustrator, Lee Bermejo is an American comic book artist renowned for his hyper-detailed and often darkly realistic style. His work with DC has redefined characters like the Joker, Lex Luthor, and Batman. Bermejo’s art, especially in Batman: Noel, showcases a gritty, layered Gotham, with Batman’s design reflecting both armour and a certain medieval quality. The figure beautifully captures the essence of Bermejo’s Batman—stoic, dark, and powerfully human—allowing fans to appreciate a character they may already know from comics in a fresh, collectible format.

Batman Noel Autograph Gold Label

This Batman Batman: Noel figure from McFarlane Toys’ DC Multiverse line has me genuinely excited. It’s not just another Batman; it’s Bermejo’s Batman, with that raw, hardboiled aesthetic that sets it apart from other Batsuit versions. The Gold Label signature gives it extra weight for collectors and fans alike. This one’s worth grabbing—especially if you’re into unique variants or autographed collectibles that feel like a piece of comic art come to life. It’s big, it’s bold, and it’s got the gritty realism that McFarlane and Bermejo fans crave.
