Mattel actually did it and released Alfred long before Hasbro were able to release a Jarvis in Marvel Legends.
Now do I REALLY NEED TO EXPLAIN ALFRED PENNYWORTH? He's Batman's butler.
Or if you prefer something more vintage
But if needed he can bust a cap on yo'ass
So that's Alfred.
Articulation
There has been an improvement in articulation for these compared to past DC Universe Classics figures. I know what you're going to say this is a DC Multiverse a natural and it's not exactly DC Universe Classics but it says spiritual successor just like dcuc was a spiritual successor today DC Superheroes line. Alfred has Marvel Legends level of articulation which is a shame since the line is dead.
4.5
paint and sculpt:
it's a guy in a suit a butler suit if we want to be specific but still it's a guy in a suit metal has plenty of experience getting those made. the magic is on the heads especially the live-action heads. The 66 Head on the Alfred Figure would help him blend with the Batman 66 figures. The 89 head works great with the recent 89 Batman by Mattel.
The comic book Alfred fits with pretty much any comic book Batman. And if you care for the story where there's an evil Alfred you have that evil Alfred head that I don't think I'll use. The paint work on this figure is pretty good so no complaints from me there.

Buy Alfred or he'll cap yo'ass... |
Overall:
Alfred gets a 4.67 as his final score and it's worth it.
It's just a shame that after 15 plus years until finally figure out how to make great looking figures that can compete with Marvel Legends. This outfit is so freaking sweet that it made me order on 89 Batman figure by Mattel just to have a Batman to display him with that it's not that crappy DC collectibles Batman I have.
