DC Collectibles Designer Series Red Hood

Posted on December 24, 2014 at 12:00 pm by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The DC Collectibles Designer Series has put out some of the best overall DC action figures this year. They feature bulky sculpts with a wide range of articulation on most, great paint apps and great accessories. We’ve shot and reviewed 6 so far, and today we’re running catch up with one that’s been out for a while, the Red Hood. This isn’t Jason Todd tho, this is a Red Hood “Trooper” as seen in the New 52’s Batman books, specifically Issue #0 and The Zero Year story arc. While using the standard mask, he’s a trooper, when using the pill shaped helmet, he’s the Red Hood Leader, who at one point was the man that eventually became the Joker. Check out our quick shoot after the break courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

DC Collectibles Designer Series Greg Capullo Red Hood

Pros
Alternate heads allow for troop building or leader use
Weapons choice is wide ranging
Sculpt is well done

Cons
Suit lines limit articulation

Overall
Overall, Red Hood is a solid filler figure for a Batman shelf. I would love to troop build and create a dio similar to what was seen at DCC’s SDCC booth this year, but not at 25 bucks a pop. Not a bad price, but for troop building it’s a bit rough while there is so much great stuff out there. The alternate heads are great, so grabbing 2 wouldn’t be unreasonable. Find a Dr. Strange style cape and add it to the Red Hood Leader setup, and you have a pre-Joker Joker look as well. As a compliment to the rest of the line, it’s a solid figure and worth a pick up!

Check out some key shots below and the full set after that. Stay tuned as we do up Thrasher Batman and Wave 3 in coming weeks!

    I'm not a fan of how this Mr. Freeze turned out, but I really like this Catwoman figure. That said, wasn't she supposed to come with an alternate head?

    I was just about to ask about the alternate Catwoman head myself.

    Anyone else think the body would make for a great Talia custom?

    I have Mr. Freeze on the way, but I regret it now. I really don't like that head sculpt. Looks like Yondu with goggles. I'm not fond of that freeze gun design either. It's odd.

    this costume redesign never made sense to me. Its like, "I need a special suit to keep me at cold temperatures to live! Buuut I like my arms to breath..." Also, when your a cold based villain, you should avoid the white mohawk, because people will think it looks like a dollop of whipped cream. Like your name should be The Ice Cream Man.

    Re: Catwoman alt head - unless I missed it in the package, I don't think it came with one. I'll check it next week. Back of package hype shot doesn't show it, but does show the alt red hood one, so its possible they held it for a repaint.

    Re: freeze, I actually do like the look and the fig. It doesn't make sense in the traditional origin story for the dome and suit, but ignoring that I do dig it. Feels good in the hand and the detailing is impressive.

    I guess I'd feel differently if I still bought the comics, but DC lost me when they rolled out New 52. I just look forward to the occasional collector-quality release of an old iconic design or a character from a landmark story that I remember. That said, these look well done if you're into the DC universe post-New 52.

    Yeah, that probably means there isn't one. Even Arsenal's "backwards hat" action was shown off on the back of his box, if I recall. That just makes me happier that I canceled my pre-order a while back, 'cause I was gonna use the alternate if I bought it.

    The new Mr. Freeze design isn't terrible (well, fauxhawk aside) but I can't help but think that it looks more like it should be one of his henchmen. For the toy, the head sculpt is the only part that really bothers me. It's great that his gun can be held in two hands, something my Arkham City Mr. Freeze can't do at all.

    I think Riddler may still be the best of the Designer Series so far. The articulation isn't much to write home about, but something about the sculpt just looks classic and iconic. Batman is a close second.

    Ha! Ha! The exposed arms and mohawk are exactly why I don't like this design for Mr. Freeze. The figure is a fantastic representation of what he looks like on the page and he looks like he'd be fun to pose, but the design choices just don't make sense for the character. You hit the nail right on the head!

    I was at 1 of my LCS yesterday and seen most of this wave there. Freeze looked dumb IMO, I liked the dome and gun and some parts could be re-used for fodder, but not worth dropping that kind of $$ on him. I seen Catwoman,and some other stuff, but not worth getting to me. He did have the mecha Batman figure for $40 and got him to put it aside for me. I'm not the biggest Batman collector by any means, but the figure is so awesome and will fit in with my Iron Man collection nicely.

    It's funny, I was actually quite happy with Freeze when I got him in the mail. Looks pretty good to me in person. The exposed arms still bug me, and the Arkham City version still seems superior as far as having a more iconic design, but this one ain't so bad.

    Another Red Hood figure we didn't need. Wonder if DCC is ever gonna make a Under the Red Hood Jason Todd figure. We received 4 or 5 Red Hood figures this year and none were that good IMO. The new 52 version has that terrible Prometheus/Destro helmet, the Arkham Knight design is meh, and the rest are Red Hood Jokers(or lookalikes)that have been done over and over again. DCC you bore me. Seems like all they make are New 52 figures anymore. Nothing classic! The BTAS line looks great, but there are many reports of figures breaking. Ugh, hope 2015 is a better year for them.
