Back in black. And no, this cold opener isn't going out of style for black recolors.
Well, I do own a
Huntress figure already, a
much better Huntress figure, but... Import figures are rather fragile, and I don't want to end up Huntressless if she ever breaks, so I decided to get another,
sturdier, Huntress figure. I went for this one since she is wearing a different costume!
I think the sculpt is actually quite good, but she does look a bit
lanky and I feel as if her anime-esque face doesn't really
fit the style of the figure. But that aside, I like the detailing on the armored parts of her armor, I love the color scheme, and they even used some glitter on her costume to make her a bit shinier than she should. Not comic-book accurate, the glitter I mean, but it's very small and doesn't detract from the overall look. She also comes with a
ridiculously tiny crossbow.
But as per usual with DC Direct figures, articulation is where it takes a hit. Luckily, her hips AND arms can move up and down as well as sideways, which is not always the case. Both knees and elbows are single jointed, but she can at least hit 90 degree angles... even if they look a bit
weird on her lanky proportions. She has swivels on her boots and shoulders for extra poseability too. Overall? She gets the job done.
Sadly, it seems she has clear joints, which means that that plastic is a bit more fragile. Her right swivel is a bit loose, but other than that, she is fine, and this clear plastic is just something to
keep in mind. She is a bit taller than Bucky Cap.
She's one of the better DC Direct offerings, for sure. I like the degree of poseability she was given, but I think they could've stood for making her a bit shorter.
