It's Wednesday and you know what that means... ToyFarce review! This week, we're having a look at the latest Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech figure, the Arkham Knight from the excellent Batman: Arkham Knight video game. The Arkham Knight was a bit of a controversial character back then, as fans were speculating about the identity of one of the main villains way before the game came out, and Rocksteady, the game's developers, kept saying it was not going to be the obvious, and would be a completely new character, and... well, that was a lie. Here are some packaging pics. The figure comes with a ton of accessories, most of which can be used to switch him from the "Arkham Knight" outfit to the "Red Hood" outfit from later in the game. He comes with a different headsculpt, 2 different chest plates, different shoulder pads, different upper arm parts, different lower arm decos, different knee pads along with 6 extra hands, 2 red swords and 2 "kris" blades (the wavy blades, had to google that). Obviously, no guns, which is kind of a bummer since the character heavily relies on guns, sniper rifles and all kinds of firearms in the game. The articulations are your usual Revoltech / Amazing Yamaguchi articulations, which means articulations on top of articulations, and the figure can sometime feel a bit intimidating. If you know what you're doing (I don't!), you can have him in some really awesome dynamic poses. The design does get a bit anime-like, which is pretty usual with Katsuhisa Yamaguchi's designs. If you have him with arms wide open, the shoulder articulation can be quite ugly, though... So no "Put your hands up" pose for the Arkham Knight... Life hack! The guns from the DC Collectibles Arkham Knight or Red Hood figures does fit perfectly with him. Any 1:12 gun will do the trick, to be fair, but the Arkham Knight ones do have a cool design, with a bat logo on them. If you're watching Peacemaker, you know how important it is to have your logo on the gun! "No dove of peace on the gun?!" The transition from Arkham Knight form to Red Hood form is pretty easy, even if there are some of the parts to change (the shoulder parts, the knee pads...) that have a tiny peg that I'm afraid might break if you change him too often. Then again, they might not. You just have to be careful. The 2 chest plates are really nice and allow for some diversity in the figure (and makes you want to buy 3 so that you can display it with all the suits. DARN!). More news at 11:00... "You're finished, Batman, and Gotham is finished too."
