00:00it's a lot easier to stop a hero when the temperatures drop below zero
00:04here's a look at mcfarlane toys dc multiverse mcfarlane collector's edition the rose captain cold
00:30central city has been home to plenty of super villains over the years enough to keep even the
00:34fastest man alive running ragged but of all the flashes notorious gallery of rogues none is cooler
00:39than the parka clad cold ray packin leonard snart aka captain cold i'm sure whatever he touches
00:46turns to snow in his clutches does that make him too muches stop that that's stupid how about instead
00:52though we take the tape measure and we see how tall the dc multiverse rose captain cold stands
00:56i actually found this one online and the figure is going to stand at about seven inches in height
01:01or the master of the cold is about 18 centimeters tall the scarlet speedster yes here's what captain
01:07cold looks like along with him i feel like we still haven't gotten ourselves a perfect looking flash
01:11yeah we've gotten good releases don't get me wrong but not one that i can say is the definitive looking
01:15flash here's also what the figure looks like with a couple of other flash rogues here's first what he
01:20looks like with captain boomerang here's also what he looks like with professor zoom or of course reverse
01:24flash and seeing as it did still have him i did want to bring in the one we got from mattel i mean
01:29like how many years ago this is the captain cold from the dc universe classics days start is certainly
01:34stacked with accessories first the figure does come include with a trading card the trading card does
01:38have as you probably already can see mcfarlane collector's edition down the side a good image
01:41also as well for captain cold one of my favorite of flashes rogues gallery on the back of the card
01:45though the real name is yeah leonard snarts there is also as well about a paragraph read or so
01:49you can pause you can read for yourself i mean you could do that you could put yourself through all that
01:53work but i've also saved you the work i've read it for you no no no it's the least i could do let's
01:59move that card really cool looking card let's see what i did there let's move that off though to the
02:03side the figure does also come include with the display stand now because this is the collector's
02:07edition you get a little more of the frills down below it's been branded instead in silver rather
02:11than traditional black the peg is still off to the far corner that doesn't change obviously they're
02:15just using the same sculpt again that can plug into either one of obviously captain cold's boots
02:20put that off the side okay so the figure does come include with his freeze gun some swappable
02:25hands and some swappable face plates what do you want to start with first swappable hands okay we'll
02:31do that first first of all the figure does have on the ends of his forms already over here and over
02:35here a pair of closed fists if you'd rather instead have them swapped out with pair of of dynamic hands
02:40grabbing hands mauling hands or plotting hands i wonder what barry's doing right right right about now
02:46you can then swap these out with the existing hands that he has or rather you can also as well
02:51change them out with a couple of c clamp gripping hands these are good for holding of course his
02:56blast pistol his freezing gun which one thing unfortunately about the freezing gun is while it
03:00does look neat i want to resist by saying cool it looks interesting enough and it does certainly look
03:05like he does like the gun that he has in the comics unfortunately though like the handle is i feel
03:10abnormally large don't get me wrong like the length isn't so bad it's i feel the girth
03:15stop that the the handle unfortunately because the way it is if you even if you want to try to get
03:21your hand get your hands around the handle you have to kind of pry the fingers away from the palm
03:26and like look how much struggle you have to do just to get the handle properly hold the gun
03:31i mean again like so much less work would have been involved on my part just to get that gun in his
03:37hand had they only made the handle just a little bit smaller it does also cause one other problem
03:41i mean it's nice that they included this but he doesn't also he has a holster on the side of his
03:46leg he can't actually hold the gun inside of his holster just to bring back i know again this is
03:51slightly older figure but this is the one from mcfarland this is the one from mctel also starting
03:55with m his freeze gun also had a holster on the side that you could take the gun and slide that in
04:01there while he has it fine on the side of his of his hole he had the holster on the side of his
04:05leg he doesn't have an again the proper means to holster the gun i know it would have been involved
04:10a little more additional sculpting obviously they they would have to put the flap on the front of
04:14it and made that completely open i would love though that they could have done that even if
04:18it meant that the figure cost a couple of dollars more just so i could actually have taken the freeze
04:22gun and holster it in his leg i mean it's sort of teased more than anything else it's completely
04:26enclosed in plastic there's no way you can actually open this up just a bit of a shame that's all
04:31by the way though if you did want to change out the hands it's just a simple case of
04:34popping them off from the provided pegs you don't have to make that noise that was me by the way
04:38that was my mouth that wasn't the plastic then plug then the new hand you want to plug in place
04:43we'll do the exact same on this side too although you know what let's go a little crazier oh you're
04:47getting crazy let's grab one of the gestured dynamic hands there you go so you have captain
04:52cold with one hand like that the other game the other hand is ready to blast the scarlet speedster
04:57unfortunately though the figure doesn't also come in clue with any freeze effects to go on the end of
05:05the gun i don't know if i could probably i wonder if i could maybe grab one of the electricity effects
05:09that were blue from one of the previous release flash maybe just kind of wrap it around the nozzle
05:13kind of make it look like it's starting to freeze i don't know leave that with me it's this it's gonna
05:18be a side project of mine also one side project you may have to invest in as well as the figure does
05:23have some swappable face plates now this is the defaulted head i feel no real need to change this
05:29out for one or the other i don't want to say inferior looking face plates but when you see how
05:33good this one comes out of the packaging already i don't really feel ever the need to want to change
05:38it out with this head sculpt which basically just like a neutral expression that's not true actually
05:43he's got a bit of a smirk in the corner of his mouth he's also got a little bit more squinted eyes
05:47there is also this option which he seems more sneering than anything else the thing about it
05:54though is like to look at this and to look at this other than just really the change of the eyes
05:58and maybe again like a little bit of the mouth did we really need necessarily to have two head
06:03sculpts that look somewhat i know they're not exactly the same but somewhat similar to one another
06:08changing out the faces by the way it's just a case of you kind of have to get in there
06:12grab the face from below you want to see the face first of all okay one last time to show you guys
06:16the face one of the main real reasons why i love captain cold so much i mean the guy's walking
06:21around in a park i can't imagine how hot that would be central city the guy's walking around
06:26big park on his on his body i don't know anyways you just basically pop the face off like this
06:31and you'll see underneath though there's no frightening frightful looking alien face we've had
06:36that happen a couple of times basically all you're going to really do is there's a peg at the top
06:40there's a larger like little i don't know what you want to look like a
06:44cylinder like shaped plastic piece sorry i spat all over everybody just basically going to take
06:50the head you kind of have to put it in on an angle there we go and then snap it in place you know
06:55you've succeeded by the way it does that satisfying snap again it's good looking head i mean there's
07:01also again this option but for me displaying this guy on the shelf i have to go with a chilling
07:06looking smile such the coolest of the heads anyways for his head as you can see he does
07:11does have of course the park on i love the sculpting of this hood i mean they could have easily just
07:17stopped it right there but they thought no no we're going to go a little extra here spend the
07:20budget on plastic and they made this little curly cue down at the bottom of this i think that makes
07:24the park that the hood of the park it looks so very interesting of course he does have the frilled
07:29collar piece that doesn't change really at all i mean look the look at captain cold has looked
07:33this way for years i don't feel like he really needs to make that don't modernize the look
07:37captain cold the guy's literally running around the streets robbing banks dressed like basically
07:43i don't like i don't want to say an eskimo i don't think we can even call them eskimos anymore
07:47inuit inuit people but i just love to look at the parka the blue as you can see does change a little
07:52bit so it's fairly dark at the top here but he kind of gets the areas here where if you like it look at
07:58his shoulders i have to kind of just lift everything up so you can see this some of the sculpting ends up
08:03delivering a little bit lighter of a blue so you see a little bit lighter on the blue in the front
08:06blue is lighter here also on the fronts of his pants but then things like his pockets and things
08:11like his sides are a little bit darker of a blue initially i looked at this and i thought i don't
08:16feel like they needed to add as much texturing as they did a simple just wrinkled parka would have
08:21been more than enough but you know the more i look at it i mean if you're going to modernize the
08:24character at least keep the look somewhat consistent and then just sort of add unnecessary
08:29pockets and texturing at least it doesn't change the look all that much furry looking boots i love the
08:33look at those a nice gold belt they're also on the front it's not quite though the same color as
08:37his holster and again i keep going back to looking at the the dc universe ones i mean the yellow of
08:43the belt clearly was the same more color of the uh the little holster on the side i don't know why
08:47they chose to give him a gold on the front i guess that's pretty close because if you look at the
08:51original card yeah the gold's also there as well for the figures articulation captain cold does have
08:57yeah a ball joint in his head even though like you would think that there's a pretty complicated
09:01step of processes to change out the face actually his head still retains some decent levels of
09:05posability i wasn't really expecting that his head would be able to look up then up and down like this
09:10nor really the rock back and forth but it can actually be done sometimes though doing it though
09:15it may result in the face plate popping off but as you already saw it's pretty simple fix just pop it
09:20back in place as for the shoulders shoulders are going to be granted a little bit more limited just
09:24because he's got this piece across the top of his torso you can bring his arms still out at 45 90 degree
09:29angle bend rotating his arm though becomes more of a struggle because it has to get around this
09:33lip of plastic still succeeds though but you're going to be working a little harder to do that
09:38swivel there at the bicep captain cold does also have a double hinge on the elbow yeah and the hands
09:43do rotate all the way around with hinge back and forth upper torso is going to be on a very good
09:47ball joint i mean look at the look look at the state of this ball joint and how much i can actually do
09:51the lower abdomen area is somewhat the same as well there's a ball joint there too the legs split out
09:56because this holster attaches here not here it doesn't limit the articulation when it comes to
10:01moving out his legs you can also take them and easily move them forward karate chopping from
10:05behind the figure's legs do swivel at the top of the thigh double hinge on the knee there is no
10:11articulation here for the boots it seems like obviously i can't imagine they're going to be using
10:15this mold again that this boot is just a continued sculpt from the rest of his calf so because that you
10:19can't rotate them independently you can however though move the ankle up and down this way you can rock
10:24it back and forth and yeah the figure does have toe articulation as well short of batman i still
10:29don't think there's a rogues gallery can beat the one from the cape crusader i think that like flash
10:34for me at least is probably the second best rogues gallery in all of comics when you think of really
10:39all the characters that he has i mean so crazy characters too i mean we're looking at captain
10:43boomerang and captain cold for example let's also bring in reverse flash then you got mirror master
10:48get weather wizard i think you also have the top there's a lot of cool characters and again there i go
10:53saying cool a lot of interesting characters that maybe as we get near the end of the run of the
10:57multiverse stuff who we're getting from mcfarland toys of course yeah maybe i'm hoping we can get
11:01some more silver age rogues gallery i mean we don't need to modernize the looks of the characters at all
11:05clearly captain cold keeps the look consistent he looks just as good as he did from like the days of
11:10the mattel i mean obviously a little bit smaller of a figure i'm not gonna be displaying the two
11:14together but at least it shows you i also reminded me too like i had the chance to kind of bring out
11:19these figures like we're sitting in storage for so long to bring these out you don't realize until
11:23you actually display them along with mcfarland toys figures how much smaller the dc universe
11:28classics figures actually were and how much bigger by comparison the stuff that we're getting from
11:32todd and his team i do really like the look of captain cold as a character i don't like him enough
11:36though to spend the money get the platinum edition release of him yeah what there was two of them
11:39yeah there is the mold is going to be exactly the same the only thing that's changed and tweaked
11:43between this one the platinum edition is the holster on the other one actually is white instead of
11:48yellow the freeze gun is now red instead of this metallic purple but the biggest changes between
11:53the two is that captain cold has sort of frostbitten faces he's got smurf faces and feel like i really
11:59feel for captain cold the character likes the cold why would he ever have like frostbitten faces i'm sure
12:04anybody that goes a little deeper down the rabbit hole of reading comics would probably tell me why
12:08it would work a little better i feel for mr freeze i don't think it really works as well for
12:12captain cold in the end i only really need the one on the shelf and i don't feel like this one's
12:16going to get changed anytime i do like the look that even though they've modernized the look of
12:20his suit they've still kept to the classics i mean you can't beat the classics when it comes to his
12:24costume and even though again he looks kind of silly walking around central city streets with a
12:28parka on that's the thing that made captain cold and again sorry for me saying this so cool in the
12:33first place what do you get that guy's thing of the figure let me know down below in the comment
