DC Collectibles Deadshot - Arkham Origins

 After seeing some very reasonable sales on Amazon I've managed to acquire more of the 8 assassins from the Arkham Origins video game. Was it as good as any other in the Arkham series? No, but it still had some great fights and cutscenes that were motion captured by stunt people and gave me a tideover snack, if you will, before the Arkham Knight game. 

This look for Deadshot is a lot closer to his comic book look than the Arkham City game. In the game, he actually saves Batman a few times for the selfish purpose of being the one to kill him personally and collect the 50 million dollar bounty. He is eventually defeated via Batman breaking both his arms and leaving him for the police! 

As was DC Collectibles way further into the line of Arkham figures, this one has improved articulation compared to Arkham City and Arkham Asylum figures, but like the others was barebones on accessories. Masterful painting, shading and sculpting though! 

DC Collectibles Deadshot: Arkham City

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!
