DC Collectibles Arkham Origins Highlights Photo Shoot

Posted on March 21, 2014 at 11:35 am by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The Toyark is wrapping up it’s catch up galleries for DC Collectibles Arkham Origins figures with a round of highlight pics from both waves 1 and 2. These have a bit more processing and lighting attention paid to them so we can hopefully show them off in their best light. These figures really shine, some better than others, and we are glad we caught up. Hopefully some of the additional articulation seen in some of these figs make their way to future DCC releases.

One more set is planned by DC Collectibles later in 2014 – a Joker as Red Hood, Deathstroke Unmasked, and Copperhead 3 Pack. Red Hood and Deathstroke are remolds, while Copperhead looks new. Stay tuned to Toyark’s DC Collectibles feed for info as it drops, and check out our Wave 1 and Wave 2 galleries for additional shots:

    Great shots boss, shame to hear about the breakages, sadly a common problem with DCC stuff(but not as bad as before AFAIK).

    Surprised at how well Deadshot turned out. Croc and Batman look stellar. Shame both the DCC and Mattel Arkham Origins Deathstrokes have hindered articulation. So far the best Deathstroke figure overall is the DCUC wave 3 one by Mattel.

    Even bigger shame since I dig the Arkham Origins design a lot.

    ^I personally think this is the best Deathstroke figure ever made. I'm totally head over heels. Any articulation hindrance in my opinion lies solely with the suit design (though it would have been nice to have moving pauldrons). If you work with him, he can even do a full-on crouch.

    Anarky was a very pleasant surprise with the endoskeletal articulation and soft hood.

    And some caution should be exercised if anybody's planning to pick up Deathstroke. His sheath, holster, and the area where his over-the-shoulder belt meet are all prone to tearing. Just be careful when handling those areas, if they come off, super glue should do the trick. Watch out for the hilt of his sword too, it can easily snap at the bottom of the guard (all of these have happened to me ). Also, more than likely, you'll have to free up his ab crunch with some heat; avoid the soft parts while you're doing this or you'll certainly tear them while breaking it free. I bought a second one (which happens to be perfect by the way) even though the first was fully functional despite the breakages - he's just that good!! The Mattel version was a complete and utter waste of the $19.99 I paid for it.

    I'm absolutely surprised by how Anarky turned out! I'm glad I have him on order. The kind of engineering they did for his design makes me hopeful about other jacketed/hooded characters they may do in the future.

    And I'm probably alone here, but I actually think Croc is a little too big. I like how he seemed to be smaller in Arkham Origins compared to Asylum/City, which seemed ridiculously exaggerated. Still, I'm not going to complain about getting that much bang for the buck. He is very well sculpted, it seems, and I'm impressed by his articulation. Can't wait to get mine.

    I do hope that we get a Dick Grayson Robin from this line, even if it ends up being an exclusive. It seemed like a waste for that design to be used only in the multiplayer modes, so hopefully they'll at least decide to make a toy out of it like Nightwing from AC.

    From what I can tell, it looks like the upcoming Deathstorm figure may also be getting the same treatment in his arms. Looks like it'll be a trend from here on out.

    Ah, good to know. I'm hoping they'll do something similar with the sleeves on a New 52 John Constantine action figure too if they ever get around to making one.

    Also, is anyone else considering painting Anarky's mask gold? I just finished reading Knightfall, and I really like the red/gold look he used to sport pre-N52.

    What type of poses can Firefly do?

    Also, does Killer Croc feel like his joints are going to break? If not, I might have to pick him up since Mattel let me down and this one resembles his original look.

    Firefly - not much. And, I couldn't really pose him because the leg snapped off on first attempt at moving, and I had to super-glue it back on. So that's why he's just standing there in the photo shoot. Basic arm movement, triangle crotch on a clear plastic crossbar, single knee joints, no ankles. Head can barely move too.

    Killer Croc - no - knees do not feel like they will break. That was probably the most well done construction wise. Plastic feels right, durable, right consistency for handling. Not too brittle, not too rubbery. You can move that guy around repeatedly without fear of breakage IMO.

    It all depends on execution, but I'm ok with it. I think it's pretty cool. Would be even cooler if there was a sculpted arm under there, but if it keeps costs down I'm all for it.

    I don't know what you guys are saying about Deathstroke being hindered with posing...

    I've gotten mine in so many dynamic poses and even gotten him to stand with them. The only thing that's hindered his his thigh swivel because of the thigh armour design. Video game costume designers aren't thinking of making the design work perfectly in a toy, I'd rather DCC be accurate than just chop that bit off. Same with the shoulders, even then I don't think they're that hindered.

    Even managed to get him to hold his sword two handed. The Mattel Unlimted Deathstroke is really limited... Can't do anything with it really. This figure is great, poses great. Don't understand all the complaints about it. I'd say it's better than the DCUC because it has nice ankle rockers and DCUC's just have the odd forward hinge.

    This is probably the third time I've heard this complaint online - and it has always been at the hip, so I'm fairly worried about mine. My goal is to make a flight stand and some flame effects to display him, so hopefully I can get a decent flight pose out of him without having to move the legs.

    Thanks. I ordered Croc off Amazon now but I am going to pass on Firefly. Sucks since I like the character and he has yet to be given a good toy.
