Nice Red Hood song, heh. Love your energy in these videos, as always. Great figure, and very glad we have both this and the Multiverse one to choose between. The jacket and shinguards, etc, help this not feels samey next to the other Essentials men.

You should be doing more figure comparison. Like all red hood figures together. Red hood with different batmans, nightwings and other figures related to the character. This gives us an idea if it will fit in our collections. Cheers

To answer your question, I think I am a little more into this than the Multiverse, mostly the colors and of course having his guns. I also like the proportions a little better, but the domino mask head does help the Multiverse have its place, too.
@BradTheDCUniverseGeek5 жыл бұрын
As a side note the only problem I found with putting the domino masked head on his shoulders is that the peg on the essentials is a bit long meaning a snipped peg or a drilled head to seat it properly.

The DC Essentials all sharing the same body is such a bummer. Its something that I can never unsee once you brought it up in another of your videos! That being said, this is a great figure! PS: I hope we get a new Damian Robin soon. The Icons Super Sons is great, but out of scale with everything, and the Multiverse one has a real dumb face. Im hoping for one with a removable hood.

This figure is definitely better than the Multiverse figure. However, something about the feet bothers me and it's not the joint. I can't help but feel that the feet are too small. I don't know why, but they just look too small to me. That, and the guns look a teeny bit too thin. However, with all that being said, I think this is the best Red Hood figure only being rivaled by the Arkham Knight figure and the Injustice 2 figure. The Injustice figure only having the problem of the wrists being fragile. Arkham Knight's figure having soft plastic that tears way too easily, but I think they're all still good figures one way or another. I don't feel bummed at all about him not coming with a Jason Todd head, as I don't see a reason to display him without a helmet. It's still not good, but he comes with everything I feel a Red Hood figure needs. Guns, holsters, and good articulation.

This new essentials mold is off too me especially since they keep using the same mold but the coat and holsters do make it better than their other figures in the essential line I can’t wait to save up for this guy and probably get it from bbts I just wish one of these guys came with shurikens!

Okay, but in all seriousness, we need a Godspeed figure! For those of you who are unaware, Godspeed is a speedster named August Heart, who found Barry Allen after the lab accident. He is so fast, he was in two places at once. He kills speedsters and absorbs their Speed Force. Kind of like Clancy Brown from Highlander.
