DC Collectibles Arkham Origins Wave 2 Gallery

Posted on March 21, 2014 at 11:34 am by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

DC Collectibles Arkham Origins 7 inch action figures continued this month with the release of Wave 2. This wave included an all villain lineup – Anarky, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Firefly and Killer Croc. The wave takes some characters that are not normally represented in the Batman universe and gives them a top notch presentation. All of the figures have outstanding sculpts and paint, with varying ranges of articulation. On top of this, Killer Croc is almost double the size of the standard 7 Inch figures – for the same retail price. Check out some additional thoughts on the figures and over 80 high res images in our standard gallery after the break!

Anarky – I wasn’t very familiar with the character until recently, so I really had no reason to grab him other than wanting to have all the Arkham Origins figures from DCC. I am glad I did. The figure has a great paint job, lots of fine details such as the Anarchy “A” on the jacket, the backpack and even some pins on his jacket. His molitov cocktail accessory is cool, but a bit top heavy so it can’t be held with the flame pointing the right direction without some putty help. This figure utilized some unique engineering as well. The hood is a thin piece of rubber that can be folded down – but when in it’s normal position it stays in place. This allows for some head movement giving different looks since the hood is basically stationary. Another unique method with rubber are the arms. The jacket arms are actually rubber over top a clear plastic stick. Touching it you can feel it’s actually hollow, and if you roll it up you can see the basic peg of a forearm. When posing, this gives a different look to the arms since the jacket moves and bends depending on how it’s posed. From a distance you can’t tell, the hood and arms keep color and paint application consistency for the most part.

Arkham Origins Anarky - FIRE FIRE FIRE /beavis.

Deadshot – I think this is the sleeper of the bunch. Another character I don’t really care about but has been getting some play lately – here, in Arrow (TV), Suicide Squad, etc. The paint applications on this guy are top notch, they really pop. Vibrant oranges with deep blues and greys play off each other well. There are clean paint apps throughout the figure such as zippers, bullets and knuckle highlights. He incorporates a wider range of articulation like Wave 1 Batman – head, upper torso 360 spin and slight left/right dip, waist 360 spin, t-crotch with outward movement, double jointed knees, above-boot swivels, and ankle rockers. This allows for some pretty dynamic poses. Coupled with the awesome sculpt and paint, it’s a winner. Just wish I cared for the character a bit more.

Arkham Origins Deadshot - Clean.

Arkham Origins Deadshot – Clean.

Deathstroke – This was the one I was looking forward to from Wave 2. It’s a pretty solid figure, but there is something a bit off. I think since these are coming from the game, something didn’t translate well to physical form. He is a bit bulbous for lack of a better word. Lots of armor plating which really stands off the figure. You can notice this the most with his head, which sits far back compared to his chest plate. This restricts his movement in the legs a bit as well, so even though we got the double jointed knees and ankle rockers, he still can’t do much and look right. Personally for Deathstroke, I’d go with the Mattel version or the DCC New 52 version for pure looks. Be careful with his weapons – the sword is a plaster like material – mine snapped in half attempting to remove it from the package :(.

Arkham Origins Deathstroke - I dig the New52 more.

Arkham Origins Deathstroke – I dig the New52 more.

Firefly – Another great sculpt for an obscure character. It’s cool they are giving these guys from the game some love and this is well done. Paint again really plays well, popping the yellow off the black and grey. The weapon is nice, with a rubber connector shooting around to the back. He has 2 mech like wings which plug into ports on the back and are removable. They are a bit of a pain to keep in there though, any bump and they tend to fall out. Same with the weapon, doesn’t really stick in the hand. On top of this, I had another breakage issue – leg snapped off immediately on first attempt at movement. Clear plastic crossbar – this is the second time this year I’ve run across this problem. I guess there is something to that. Or I’m a heavy handed heathen, either way. :)

Arkham Origins Firefly - If it didn't break I'd like it more.

Arkham Origins Firefly – If it didn’t break I’d like it more.

Killer Croc – One word – BIG. This is no hollow oversized figure – this is a brick (in a good way). His detailing and sculpting is phenomenal. Sharp and crisp on both fronts. Articulation is actually pretty good, giving us head, shoulder, single joint elbows, wrist swivel and dips, ab crunch, waist swivel, a wide ranging t-crotch, single joint knees and almost-ankle-rockers. You can get a lot more out of this guy than you would have expected being so big. And, the kicker – he’s the same price (or a bit more depending on where you go) as the regular figures – about 25 bucks. Almost double the size, no real hold back in anything. So, that’s a score.

Arkham Origins Killer Croc - BIG.  Well done DCC, well done.

Overall Wave 2 was a real treat, a step up from wave one overall, but nothing shines like Wave 1 Batman. Check out our entire standard gallery for all of Arkham Origins Wave 2 below!

    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.
