DC Collectibles is transitioning their artist themed design from their statues and busts over to the action figure lines, and the first in the Designer Series is Greg Capullo. Capullo took over Batman in 2011 with the launch of the New 52, and his work has been praised. I personally read Batman uninterrupted for about 2 years starting with that, and can attest. DCC is now celebrating that with action figures based on his designs. In this post we’ll take a look at Talon, who shipped with Batman, the Riddler, and Nightwing. Read on to check over 25 shots of the Talon and some quick thoughts!
DC Collectibles Designer Series Greg Capullo Talon
Pros:
Great sculpt
Great paint
Above average articulation for DCC
Cons:
Lack of any head movement at all
Overall:
Solid first figure of Talon. Fitting that he would be in the Capullo style who introduced him to the Batman universe. The articulation is good, above the New 52 levels, but not necessarily DCUC or Marvel Legends level. For me though, this is good enough. Gives you some ability to dynamically pose and fit them into the shelves how you want. The lack of head/neck movement in any direction stinks tho. Design first, articulation second seems to be DCC’s motto, and it came into play here. Otherwise, great fig to add to your Rouges display.
Check out over 25 shots below, stay tuned for Batman!

the sculpting on Talon is pretty fantastic. Articulation looks good. Glad to see no breakage issues with this one.
looks really good...also can see a redesign to make a custom Japanese Batsuit easily
Batman up.
Yeah, sculpts are great. Batman is noticeably "Designer", more so than Talon, but I'm cool with that.
And no, no breakage issues. Did not feel like that was a potential issue at all throughout any of the shoots. Medium soft plastic. Not as soft as Arkham Origins Batman, but not as hard as New 52 Bats. Just right.
Awesome looking figures. Now please do a Francis Manapul Flash and Cliff Chiang Wonder Woman! Also, pre-New 52 classic designs with similar articulation!
Also, a J.H. Williams III Batwoman would be great as well.
For Talon, out of curiosity, is is head removable? If so, I think he would be a great custom for some other character.
Holy crap Talon looks amazing. And also one of the characters I'm hoping makes it to the roster of Injustice 2.
These figures turned out great. I may have to get Talon now that I've seen the production version, I only pre-ordered Batman and Riddler.
not likeing cap to much mostly good for actiong poses not good compared to first new 52 batman stand there in menacing menacing pose like redising of costume fits with new comics that are being released for him
Great looking figure, I love that he can hold so many batarangs in one hand, that is aweosme! But...I just REALLY wish they would put this much effort into some more classic suits. I'd love to have this much detail and articulation on a 70's, 80's and 90's batman.
Ah, there's the DCC we've come to know.
So Nightwing had some breakage, the others didn't. Ehh... I'll be curious to see how many other people end up having problems with these. My Batman and Riddler are on the way.

Every time I see that ridiculously stupid Joker design, I remember the state of current comics and want to die.
Nice figures though, just a shame they're based on a repugnantly awful run.

Also the figures look nice.
Also the figures look nice.
I wish that Nightwing was in blue. I'd consider custom-painting it, but I couldn't do the finger stripes.
to anyone who has these can someone please please please give me a couple size comparison shots with a standard DCUC
This makes me curious to get the crime syndicate figures. I wish they did this sooner so we could have batman inc bats & damian in full articulation
