Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech Batman: Arkham Knight Catwoman Review and Images

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, Catwoman from the Batman: Arkham Knight video game. It's been over 2 years since the Amazing Yamaguchi Arkham Knight figure, and this Catwoman is a pretty great figure, with the usual Revoltech issues (gaps, limbs popping out, etc).

The new packaging is quite modest (nO WiNdOw?!), all grey with a few pics of the figure. Catwoman comes with an extra head sculpt, 2 extra face plates (both with moving eyes), 6 extra hands, 3 whips (wired, posed and folded), and some of her most recent loot (a pile of jewelry and gold, a ruby, a collar and some necklaces), as well as the usual stand and the little tool to move her eyes.






As mentioned in the Arkham Knight review, 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 Selina in some really awesome dynamic poses. The design does get a bit anime-like, which is pretty usual with Katsuhisa Yamaguchi's designs.












Moving eyes + different face plates / head

The different face plates are pretty easy to change, you can remove the top part of her head, then pop out the face. The moving eyes are a bit of a pain in the butt to me, because I feel I can never get them really 'straight'. Changing the whole head is a bit more of a challenge, since the peg hole isn't straight up but a bit on the side inside the head. This figure also has the legs that pop very easily out of the peg, and I had to put the legs back about 15 times while posing her for pictures. Once you get her in nice poses, though, she does looks pretty awesome.








Gappy shoulders... but we forgive it.

The action figure of Batman from the same game should come out later this year, and I'm looking forward to it, especially since their last Batman figure was SO @$$.
