McFarlane DC Multiverse Nightwing (Red Version) - DC Rebirth (Two Pack)

 


So this is from the two-pack with Red Hood. Could I have waited and saved some money just buying the Red Hood single figure that came out later? Yes...what's your point!?!? Haha. Realistically though, the only difference here is all the blue parts are red, and the eyes are also black-outlined red instead of white. Otherwise, it's identical! Still very cool next to Red Hood, and with the Damian Wayne coming out soon, Batfamily 3.0 will be complete! The review for the original figure link is here.

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Red Hood - DC Rebirth (Two Pack)


 I guess I just couldn't wait for the single release because I bought the two-pack of Nightwing (in red) and Red Hood as soon as the Cmd.ca store released it! I wasn't expecting to find or want this one, given I was already pretty pleased with my holy grail figure Red Hood from the Arkham Knight game and the DC Essentials one that really hit the spot. This has just proven to me that dual-wielding pistol characters with sweet helmets will always be a want! 

For anyone that isn't familiar, Red Hood is the anti-hero persona AKA Jason Todd, the second-ever Robin in comics. See my Red Hod review here to read up on his character. 

This is an amazing version of Red Hood. Definitely bulkier on top than the DC Essentials version, and with nicer looking pistols. His head and the blackline to define the helmets seams looks really good. The pistols are a nice scale for the figure, and the posing options are good. The paint is pretty clean although I will say they could've maybe added some wash to his jacket and made his leg braces stand out a bit more. I like that there is more just solid black for the torso to help the red logo stand out more here.
