The Azrael Armor has been on fans' want list for a while and it finally drops in May.

That being said, when McFarlane does do highly desired Bat-characters or designs, the clamor intensifies.

So let’s dive into this set.

It’s a weird design at first glance, but there’s also something instantly classic about it.

Like most McFarlane figures, this Batman has 22 points of articulation and stands 7" tall.

It’s got nice flat colors, outside of the yellow belt standing out.

The biggest upgrade with this figure is the wired cape.

The figure sculpt itself is great, and has more balance than previous entries to the line.

Platinum Chases are 1:6, so that means one in every box compared to the regular.

Azrael Armor Batman:

A lot is going on with this figure.

That figure was released back in 2022 and is very hard to find.

Where it differs though is where it counts.

There’s also the cables that stretch from his back to his wrists, completing the look.

If that was the goal here, mission accomplished.

Instead, we’re given a set of just two closed fists.

This guy has talons, let him rip!

His articulation isn’t bad either, but you might’t rotate his wrists due to the armor sculpting.

His hands can rotate and his elbows can bend.

Still, the loss of wrist movement stands out.

Azrael Armor Batman (Platnium Chase Variant):

This guy.

When people think of “Azrael Batman” they will point to this guy in a lineup.

The dark blue and gold echoing Batman’s colors but are remade into this incredible image.

This is a great looking figure.

For some reason, the paint looks more smudged on the chest piece and gauntlets.

The visor doesn’t look as clean either, but sticks out more among that sea of blue.

The metallic gold pops more with the blue wrists as well.

The tactical gear yellow matches well with the gold, making it a perfect adaptation of the original design.

Again, one of these versions needed open claw hands to really show off ole Jean-Paul’s intensity.

This being a Platinum Chase Variant, it will also be a 1:6 release.
