BEST RED HOOD ACTION FIGURE? DC Essentials vs DC Multiverse vs Three Jokers vs Gotham Knights - 5POA

[@VenomSnake00]

I love the 3 jokers one because it really puts the “Robin” flavor to him.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yes, that is really cool.

[@CheeseBucket-l2o]

@@5POAFigureReviewsthe “boxes” on his side I believe are actually magazines holders

[@Austroid]

8:23 Purists might say its sacrilege, but I honestly like Nightwing in red too! It subtly shows that he's a former Robin, but also that he's evolved into something new. (Plus red being my favorite color might give me a little bias lol)

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Well then you are gonna love a video I am working on!

[@mrdimma6713]

i looooove the three jokers one, cant wait for an unmasked head in the 5 pack. a clean looking customisation choice is swapping the robin torso from the 3jokers wave with the first mcfarlane body. the all black outfit with red highlights looks so good

[@Sh1n749]

It's obvious it's the *RED HOOD*

NAILED IT! lol

[@rockprotector-]

I remember getting the essentials red hood in my local comic shop and it sold out the next week, the three jokers one is also really good and sadly I couldn’t pick up the two pack or Gotham knights red hood

[@Mr._AnthonyRogers]

If I had to choose, 3Jokers would be my pick. Jason without a bat gives more of the feeling that he is standing on his own. Not saying he is any less of a “robin” or “son”. Just he is his own character, like night wing for example. Great video👍🏾

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Agreed! I much prefer him without a Bat. Thanks for the kind words!

[@saiyanjd1107]

I personally saw it as him twisting to logo to mess with Batman and damage the reputation, and to immediately get his attention. I will say though, no symbol works a bit better when he’s working alongside Batman

[@giobunsoy]

I had both the single release and 5 family pack of 3K Red Hood. I kept the family pack bec. of the unmasked head and better quality overall.

[@Dimadome12]

People are so weird to me. I’m surprised ppl prefer the 3 jokers red hood. The thing I like about that one is that he actually has a “red hood” & I’ve always felt like a black jacket fit better than a brown jacket. Better for camouflaging with the night since the bat family operates mainly at night (nocturnal crime fighters). Mainly, I love his different but signature bat symbol being part of his identity. Red hood without his bat symbol just doesn’t feel right although I can adjust to him without one too since he doesn’t in “Under the Hood.” But for the one that gave me my image of red hood, it’s the 2 pack version that didn’t seem to win any of the categories

[@SteampunkCreeper]

Honestly I didn't expect gotham knights to clean up as well as he did here, I have both 3jokers and new52 red hood figures, (the new52 being a grail of mine) and I really like them both, if I could I would have the dc essentials one too. I think I will hold out on gotham knights till it goes on clearance seeing as it isn't flying off stores or anythin, and who knows we may get some other looks from the game Great review as aways, Jason has to be my favorite DC character and I've been lookin forward to seein you cover him!! Lookin forward to what comes next!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I didn't either! I went in really not liking him.

[@jeremyandolivia]

Man hearing how much the two pack of Red Hood and Nightwing I’m glad I picked it up for 55 earlier this year on Mercari. It was a slightly damaged box but for the figures alone was worth it

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I’d like to see a red hood without the bat symbol. Like a “first appearance” red hood.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I would love that as well.

[@SpiderGuyy]

I really like the simple and stylish version of essentials, it’s a great choice for me and I love it. Basically like a marvel legends. Too bad the Gotham knights one doesn’t have the shiny head, really would’ve wanted to see it.

[@ChequeMateX]

The Gotham Knights figure is my fav, despite being such a big boi, he has great articulation. My only peeve is that it came with no guns or accessories, and the utter disrespect of adding finger guns.

I never really followed Red Hood as character too much, but so far when it comes to Mcfarlane figuresI think the Arkham Knight is the one a like the best, my only gripe is that you can't take off the hood and show the whole face, what do you think?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Unfortunately I haven't played the game enough to know if he ever had the hood down, but as a general action figure yeah that would be preferred. I have him but haven't reviewed him. Not sure that I will tbh
