DC Collectibles Arkham Knight Red Hood High Res Gallery

Posted on May 21, 2015 at 10:00 am by Tony_Bacala under DC Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The Toyark is wrapping up its DC Collectibles Arkham Knight wave 1 galleries today with the Gamestop Exclusive Red Hood! The Red Hood really shines with great sculpt and paint, comes with his staple dual handguns, and rocks two hoods – his red mask and an red hoodie. Check out our thoughts and 40 HD images after the break!

DC Collectibles Arkham Knight Red Hood (Gamestop Exclusive)

Pros
Great sculpt and paint
Metallic paint on mask is great
Guns are diesel

Cons
Rubber hood should be removeable/swappable

Overall
Another great piece from the line. It’s a shame Batman didn’t hold his own, because the rest of wave 1 is tops. Red Hood is a Gamestop exclusive but he isn’t any less of an awesome figure. The paint and sculpt are amazing, specifically the mask under the hood. Red metallic with highlight paint to break it up. The jacket is rubber and can be removed with care. But then you have him with jacket arms and no jacket. I didn’t like the look of the hood with the head turned, so I attempted to remove the hood. It came off, and works, but it’s a little sloppy on the inside and will devalue the figure later so I don’t suggest it. But, if that hood was removable or swappable for a “hanging/down” version, that would have made this perfect. Double joint knees and elbows, waist and thigh swivels, wrist flex, ankle rockers, he has most articulation needed. Hip joints are a bit limited and his knee guards get in the way a bit, but workable. Bottom line, very solid figure, he’s replacing my new52 version in the lineup.

Check out some key shots below, and the rest in gallery mode after that!. Make sure to hit our other Arkham Knight wave 1 galleries here: Batman, Scarecrow, and Harley Quinn.

Wave 1 is out now, including the Red Hood Gamestop exclusive. Check them all out over on Gamestop and pick up the set:
Batman, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Red Hood – GameStop Exclusive

Fellow collectors, please note! In the pics below, I removed the red hoodie from the jacket. This is not intended, and requires ripping the rubber hood off the jacket since it is glued. It definitely will damage the piece. I was curious and wanted to see what it looked like, but again, removing the hood from the jacket will damage your figure.

    Kicking things off with Batman!

    Wave 1 is solid, but Batman is the weakest of them all IMO. Still Batman tho.

    Not bad but the one from Arkham Origins is still the best imo. Looking forward to the other figures. Especially Red Hood. He looks great.

    Agreed. And, Red Hood really pops. Really, the rest of wave 1 is super awesome.

    The Arkham Knight has been out the whole time. A quick check of Ebay or Amazon will tell you that. Pretty lazy to only look at whatever link Gamestop sent you (because they probably have the Red Hood replacing it in the cases they are getting) and assume it isn't out yet.

    My copy:

    1: Is the worst smelling toy I've ever owned like skunk and gasoline mixed. Does anyone else have this issue?

    2: The belt pouches where missing from the left side. They painted the area nicely so you wouldn't miss them. I tried taking the other pouches off and the area doesn't get painted when the part is present.

    3: I was taking pics of his belt issue and he tipped forward and fell face down on my desk. I stood him back up and found that the tip of his nose cracked off. The head is cast in flesh color so it looks really bad.

    4: I tried to fix his left ear. I use water heated by a coffee maker. It's effective and won't scald me or melt the figure. Heating the ear only made it curl up like it was smashed in the package again.

    5: At this point I don't feel like there is much to preserve so I try trimming the ears down. If you follow the curve of the back of the head you can make them just like the bale cowl. But then you find that nothing is compensating for how small the head is. It starts to look smaller than his fists.

    The figure feels solid, I think this might be a sturdy line with Icons articulation in bigger 7" figures. I'm hoping there is a v2 batman or the 5 pack brings some older figures with less fragile joints.

    That's true, and not true at the same time.

    Arkham Knight figures shipped to Diamond earlier in the year, but were held back. Between that time and 4/29, retailers were getting Arkham Knight figures by mistake when orders for reprints of Arkham Origins figures were coming in. Looks like someone at the Diamond warehouses didn't know the difference between Origins and Knight figures when pulling and some retailers got them instead. No one complained I'd assume.

    They didn't officially release to comic shops via Diamond until 4/29. At that time, they only shipped Batman, Harley, and Scarecrow.

    comiclist_for_04_29_2015 - ComicList Database

    So, while these have all been out for a while, including Arkham Knight, due to mishaps and leaks, he hasn't officially been released. And Gamestop is listing him as a 9/2015 release date.

    That's how I understood the situation. If I am wrong, just clarify and I'll update the post. And for the record, no one sent me anything for this round of reviews, links or otherwise.

    Yeah, the Arkham Knight isn't officially released yet. BBTS and Entertainment Earth don't have it yet either and when my local Hastings opened up their boxes for wave 1 they only had the other 3 figures so it's not just because Gamestop has the Red Hood replacing the Knight in the cases or something like that.

    The little head with the bent ear makes me laugh: reminds me of my cat's bent whiskers. "Poor Batman bwoke his ear, and now he's sad."

    One thing I like very much about the Origins armor, besides the excellent head sculpt and the fact that the head fit the body (!), is the sense that everything about the armor looked realistic, simple, purposeful, pragmatic, a reflection of the character's gritty, to-the-point personality. Yeah, the torso was too long, and the limbs looked too heavy, but IMHO the pros outweighed the cons. Oh, and the shorter, straight cape lent itself better to different poses.

    Since this one is ostensibly built to the same scale, I suppose you could pop off the Origins head and attach it to this body, but why would you? Pass. Thanks for the good commentary.

    I've seen that Batman in 3 different shops and every single one of them has that bent ear. It's not like a soft plastic warping in the pack. Those are always like a (almost) natural curve. That ear looks like Bane went up to him and snapped it. That bent ear just looks sad.

    Well as a reseller myself, I have dropped the DC collectibles line now for the lack of quality and articulation. Im spending more time investing in imported DC versions.

    Huh. Well, these photos simultaneously relieve and aggravate me. When I bought the first Batman which I saw, I honesty felt like something was "off" about its look. I compared the one I had in hand to some of the promo images, and my suspicions were confirmed.

    What jumped right out to me is that the paint apps on the abs of the retail figure are completely missing. The photos here of the retail figure look exactly like the one I got, so I guess this must not be a fluke or error. But seeing the prototype images make me really want to figure out how to paint in what is missing so that it looks complete...

    I've given up on most DC collectibles. Everyone I buy breaks, with little movement. They are crap. Take it back where you got it and buy yourself the play arts Kai version. It looks sooooooo good.

    I bought the 7" Keaton batman from neca, poop! It broke too.
    I wish good ole Kenner was back in business. They made solid figures.

    Man I love this Scarecrow toy, personal bias here but it's easily my favorite of this wave. Also, that last picture of Scarecrow and Harley looks like they're about to do a musical number.

    That is an unusually dark interpretation of Scarecrow. I like it too.

    And, Harley is up:

    As I said earlier, I think the non-Batman figures so far are tops. Scarecrow and Harley are both awesome.

    The Scarecrow, right now, looks like my favorite. Mainly because it looks so terrifying.

    Still not a fan of her outfit but that is a great looking Harley figure.

    that scuplt is really nice, but like the multiverse one, I'll be interested to see
    if anyone gets her with the lipstick painted on straight. this one is close, but no dice.

    Red Hood is up!

    This one is my favorite of the bunch. Didn't think it would be, but he sits really well on the shelf.

    Red Hood definitely looks to be the best of the bunch and that's saying something since they all look like pretty great figures. I saw someone that cut the hood off of Red Hood's jacket but personally I don't have a problem with it.

    05-21-2015, 08:30 AM

    Harley looks like a great figure but I couldnt justify buying another one when I already have the AA and AC versions of her especially when Im not too crazy about her new outfit.

    Im glad I passed on the Batman as well, it didn't look great from promo pics and Im already swimming in Batmans from the previous games.

    05-21-2015, 10:28 AM

    After seeing the Red Hood Gallery I feel reassured that taking the hood off was the way to go for me. I will say that removing the hood allows for the hood to be placed lower on the neckline and that helps the look a lot. I did not like how the hood "Floated" up so high on the figure. I still prefer to have the Red Hood hoodless. :-)
