DC Collectibles The Electrocutioner - Arkham Origins


A few people have donned the name Electrocutioner, and in previous versions, he is an extreme vigilante who kills criminals. Just like the Arkham Origins version, he has a suit with wiring and gloves that release a charge upon contact to either kill or stun his enemies. This version is the alter-ego of Lester Buchinsky, who uses this one trick pony as a killer for hire. He's sought after by Black Mask in Origins as one of the 8 Assassins (My current count: 4. I'm still missing Bane, Firefly, Deadshot and Killer Croc...though I do have A version of them). He's easily defeated by Batman and then cast aside for his incompetence. Batman recovers his shock gloves though and uses them as a cheap combo trick AND a few cut scenes later on.

The figure is probably the best of the two pack. His articulation is still wildly all over the place, but the look is nice. I also thought it was ingenious of the sculptor to allow the yellow gauntlet wires to be detached so you can move the forearm swivel (or exchange the gloves) and then reattach them in a pose. He is bulky, heaving and imposing as he should be. They did a pretty good job of his scarred face as well and added some nice paint throughout the suit.
