Kaiyodo Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Batman: Arkham Knight - Batman Review and Images

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Batman: Arkham Knight - Batman figure from Kaiyodo. By far, the best Amazing Yamaguchi Batman figure (which isn't very hard since the last one had a horrible jigsaw puzzle cape), with the usual Revoltech issues (gaps, limbs popping out,...).

Since the Arkham Knight figure from over 2 years ago was a great figure (review here), and the more recent Catwoman one from that same line was also pretty awesome (review here), I was looking forward for that Batman figure, and it didn't disappoint! The Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi packaging is quite sober, nowadays: Just a grey box with pictures of the figures. Where are the people that used to complain about Hasbro going plastic-free now??






Batman comes with 3 pairs of hands + a hand with the zipline launcher, along with different zipline parts to attach to it, 2 batarangs, 2 data pads (open and closed) with 5 screens to attach to it, and the usual Revoltech stand. The exclusive version available directly from Kaiyodo had an extra face plate (showing teeth), which I think should have been included with the regular version, since it seems pretty low in accessories. Oh well... The skin tone is a bit on the chin is a bit off, also (too yellow?)












In terms of articulation, it is your usual Amazing Yamaguchi figure, which means it doesn't look great in a "museum pose" but can have awesome, dynamic poses (with some gaps, and the legs popping out every once in a while...). The figure has a really good soft goods wired cape, with pleather on the outside. You can pose that cape very nicely when you know what you're doing (and it will make you feel stupid when you don't...). The figure also has moving eyes, but I feel like it's a bit of a waste since the 'eye holes' are so tiny, you barely see them. Also, the pupils are just a black dot, while the Catwoman figure had full painted anime looking eyes. I'd say the moving eyes were not super necessary on this one. The accessories, even if they are few, are pretty good. The batarangs look great and the data pad with the interchangeable screens is fun.
