Package Description:
After falling overboard during a south seas cruise, Oliver Queen washed up on a desolate island. Facing starvation, Queen fashioned a bow and arrows to hunt game and became an ace archer. After his rescue, Queen attended a costume party in Robin Hood regalia and foiled a robbery using his hard-won archery skills. Thrilled by the experience, Queen decided to continue fighting for the innocent and downtrodden as the emerald archer know as Green Arrow.
Appearance:
In the last few months I have become a fan of Green Arrow because of J.T. Krul’s work on the new DC comic. It was only a matter of time before I got my self a Green Arrow figure since I think that the DC Universe figures are the best figures around. So as you can imagine I was incredibly happy when I found Green Arrow!
This figure has everything your looking for in a Green Arrow toy. I especially like the facial hair as for me that is just as big a part of the Green Arrow look as his arrows.The green on his costume looks great as well ,I love all the small details on his feather that is attached to his hat. Speaking of hat it is permanently attached to his head so don’t try to take it off like I did because you would just be wasting your time.
Like every figure that we have seen before in this line you can still find parts of other figures being used I can tell they are using parts of the Batman sculpt. One of the major differences here is that he has two open hands to hold his bow. He does not look awkward like some other figures out there and I think this the closest to any interpretation of DC characters that Mattel has made so far.
I just wish that you can put the extra arrows in his quiver but it is impossible to store any of his extra arrows in the quiver since you can’t take any of the arrow out from his quiver. You can’t change any of his arrows but he comes with four extra arrows that just can’t do anything other then possibly get lost. So for that he losses a few points in this review
Regardless he is still a great looking figure.
Poseability:
If you have opened a DC Universe Classic figure or have read any of my reviews on them you know that articulation with this line is a no issue as they have the best articulation out there.Yet this time around his hands are actually swivel/hinges instead of the standard swivel. I can’t wait to pose him next to my Hal Jordan also form the DC Universe Classic Line.
As I have been working on this review I have posed him in 20 different action poses.
Final Judgment: 9/10
Ok stop reading this review and go out get your self a DC Universe Classic Green Arrow Figure
