When it comes to the ever-expanding McFarlane Toys line-up, they’ve once again hit the mark with their latest Page Punchers figure featuring none other than Damian Wayne as Robin. But is it worth adding to your collection? Let’s dive into what makes this figure a standout, my personal take, and how it stacks up against other McFarlane releases.
The Latest Damian Wayne Action Figure in the McFarlane Toys Universe
If you’ve been keeping up with the latest toy news, you’ve likely seen the buzz around this new figure. The Damian Wayne figure is part of McFarlane’s Page Punchers series, which cleverly combines action figures with accompanying comic books, making them a must-have for both figure collectors and comic enthusiasts alike.
Standing at 7 inches tall, this figure captures Damian Wayne in his Batman Reborn costume, drawn from the DC Comics storyline where Damian takes on the mantle of Robin under Batman’s guidance. The design, as expected from McFarlane, is incredibly detailed, with a striking blend of green, black, and red that perfectly encapsulates Damian’s complex character. The articulation allows for dynamic poses—ideal for displaying alongside your other Bat-family figures.
A Closer Look at the Damian Wayne Figure
From the photos, it’s clear that McFarlane has nailed the look of Damian Wayne. His intense expression is spot-on, reflecting the inner conflict between his lethal upbringing and his desire to uphold the Wayne family legacy. The costume details are impressive, from the sculpted armour to the textured fabric elements, making this figure more than just a toy—it’s a miniature work of art that does justice to Damian Wayne’s role in the Batman mythos.
This figure comes with a sword—perfect for showing off Damian’s combat skills—as well as a broken mask for Professor Pyg, one of Gotham’s most disturbing villains. The inclusion of the broken mask adds a dark, gritty element to the figure, making it a great piece for those who appreciate the more sinister side of Batman’s world. The figure also includes a Page Punchers comic book that provides some backstory, making it perfect for both seasoned collectors and newcomers to the DC Universe. This figure would look amazing in any Batman display, especially next to other McFarlane figures like the Batman: Arkham City Solomon Grundy 2-pack I reviewed recently (check out my thoughts on that here).
What Are McFarlane Page Punchers?
For those who might not be familiar, the McFarlane Page Punchers line is a unique concept where each action figure is paired with a comic book that ties into the character’s narrative. These figures are usually 7 inches tall, highly articulated, and come with character-specific accessories. The series spans various franchises, not just DC Comics, but also includes properties like G.I. Joe and even independent comics like Scorched (Image Comics). To date, the series has released several figures, including Batman, The Flash, and now Damian Wayne.
This combination of comic and figure offers a unique value proposition, making it an attractive buy for collectors. You can explore more about the range of Page Punchers McFarlane has released on their official website here.
