Deadshot was part of the "Shot in the Dark" side mission in the Arkham City game. The mission was one of the detective missions I enjoyed, even if it was a bit obvious. Deadshot is mostly portrayed as an assassin for hire to whichever bad guy is running the show, but he does have some back stories that make him a bit more interesting than he was in the game. His suit and look is a completely different take on the character, which I appreciate. This figure probably has the most paint details of nearly all of the figures in the Arkham City line. The chest Arkham symbol, targeting head pieces and even holsters have some great shading and details. Surprisingly the least painted parts are his signature hand canons!
His articulation is decent enough given the line, and there's nothing in particular that limits his movement. Nice figure!
Sculpt & Paint: 9/10 Easily. This guy has tons of great paint and well sculpted (except the guns).
Articulation: 4/10 17 points of articulation. They added some thigh and mid-bicep swivels at the arm/leg band areas, which helps somewhat. The weight and balance is good however.
Price/Availability: 8/10 I found this in many retailers online at his original price, and at Big Bad Toy store here is currently on clearance!
Accessories: 1/10 Though he doesn't come with anything, his hand canons are removable on my figure. However, they have zero paint.
Verdict: 21/40 Awesome paint job, but too bad they didn't include ball joints at the pelvis rather than swivels. Funny that both Nightwing and Batman have them, but neither Talia nor Deadshot in the same line!
