McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse: POISON IVY (Batman & Robin)

“So many people to kill….so little time.”

With love dust, a poison kiss, and Bane at her side, Poison Ivy was a terrifically terrible villain in 1997’s Batman & Robin. Portrayed by Uma Thurman in the film, Poison Ivy teams up with Mr. Freeze in order to take over Gotham City and, eventually, the world. McFarlane Toys captures Ivy in a surprisingly beautiful figure that is almost as captivating as Uma Thurman in the film.

Poison Ivy is the second figure in the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Build-A-Figure Batman & Robin line. She’s a wonderful figure and quite possibly my favorite figure in this particular lineup. McFarlane did a fine job of capturing Uma Thurman’s likeness on this figure and aside from her head, hindered by her hair, her articulation is flawless. Her costume is also beautiful and full of plant details, all the way down to the ivy leaf in her palm. The coloring and a few small details don’t quite match up with the on-screen costume, but I’m more than willing to look beyond these minor errors due to the fact that the figure looks amazing overall.

Ivy comes with ZERO accessories except for the standard figure base and collector card. The collector card features an image of Ivy from the film’s poster and the exact same text that is found on all of the other cards in this series. As far as the Build-A-Figure goes, Poison Ivy comes with Mr. Freeze’s torso. One thing of special note is that there are socket “rings” inside of the torso’s arms that pop out with ease and could easily be lost. The right ring popped out while I was extracting the torso from the packaging, and had I not seen it pop out, I probably wouldn’t have even realized that it was gone.

I’ve provided a number of images in this post so that you can get a good look at all of the details in this figure. It’s an extremely beautiful figure and if you’re strictly a fan of Poison Ivy, it’s a must have. Of course, if you plan on building Mr. Freeze, this figure is also a must. I really hope that McFarlane releases another figure of Ivy in her green body suit from the film. This figure is for every DC Multiverse collector.
