1/6 Hot Toys Arkham Knight Batgirl

[spindrift]

stunning- will buy- but HT needs more DC figures to show- hope more to come...

Something about this one is off putting. Maybe she's too skinny compared to the in game model? I dunno, but just not feeling it.

 

[Mike Stutelberg]

I would prefer the 1966 Tv version or this...

 

[Daggoth]

Ummm Are those exposed leg joints?! This has to be a prototype.....please? This would be an instant PO for me, but leg joints, seriously? But on a side note, that head sculpt is awesome. Just fix the body

1960's Batgirl or GTFO, Hot Toys

 

[Sevreed]

Would have rather seen Origins Batman...

The hip area looks really weird in the original pictures. I agree that it looks like the exposed joints of a typical action figure. The pictures on toyark.com make it look better.

I was hoping to see Catwoman.

WTH are those joints... it really doesn't look like a $200+ figure. Just a black plastic toy.

I didn't even noticed that. I was distracted by the ugly rooted hair. What is Hot Toys thinking? Charging premium price but offering cheap action figure exposed joints...

They are trying people. If people accept this and it certainly looks like the majority are then we can look forward to more exposed joints in upcoming figures.

I agree but rest assured the people who buy figures to play with are over the moon with this development.

I was also noticing that the Marvel Hela and Wasp look to have spandex outfits with partial printing over it. They look more like a Mezco One:12 figure rather than a Hot Toys figure.

The Alita figure has joints all over it. The hips, shoulders and elbows all look like a Figuarts figure. At least on Batgirl it looks like the shoulders and elbows are a bodysuit. Can't tell on the knees.

The biggest issues with the previous Arkham Batman figures (primarily Arkham City Bats and Arkham Knight Bats) is their terrible articulation. I'm actually pretty okay with these exposed joints.

 

[AlanJG1]

Personally I would prefer not to have exposed joints (unless it is well hidden like the trunks do for Arkham City Batman). For me it ruins the high end look.

I don't think Arkham Knight (even with limited articulation) would have sold as well if the hip joints were exposed.

 

[dominishin]

I don't see why you'd wanna pay $250 for what essentially looks like a NECA.

Wtf's up with the boobs on that statue? Looks like two duct taped tangerines under a tent.

In regards to the AK Batgirl: everyone bitches when the Arkham Bats can't be posed, then when they add cuts for articulation so you CAN pose it, the bitching ensues. This figure has all the requests that people ask for - expressive sculpt, places to articulate, you know it'll be loaded with accessories too. The hair is fine. If you haven't handled the HT CW Black Widow, you haven't seen properly mass produced rooted hair.

It's gonna be okay. On your shelf the articulation will blend with the seams of the suit. The hair will be fine.

 

[Starfleet Captain]

We can certainly use more picture of this figure!!! Please!

 

[Uncle Bingo]

Wow, the exposed joints make this look like a $20 figure.

Hot Toys really can't win sometimes. Any hint of a joint and people go crazy. Make something almost seamless with little to no articulation and just as many complain.

If you can't abide any joints buy statues. If you expect amazing articulation buy the cheaper action figures. With HT there is always going to be a trade off between the two, a happy middle ground if you will.

That said I don't think this looks great, hopefully it's just a very early prototype. Don't think I'll pre-order but if the final product is improved enough I'll pick it up after release.
