This one is looking good! I may pick him up. Think I will definitely pass on the Mattel version especially when compared to this. Metallic red is a cool touch.
Nice Red Hood song, heh. Love your energy in these videos, as always. Great figure, and very glad we have both this and the Multiverse one to choose between. The jacket and shinguards, etc, help this not feels samey next to the other Essentials men.
Fabulous review Brad! I absolutely agree that this Redhood is one of the best figures in the DC Essentials line! Just ordered mine and I can’t wait to add him to my collection!
You should be doing more figure comparison. Like all red hood figures together. Red hood with different batmans, nightwings and other figures related to the character. This gives us an idea if it will fit in our collections. Cheers
Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. It depends on the video. Often, like in this one, I work so posed shots with other figures into the ending photo montage.
Mine is on the way...I am really enjoying the few essentials I decided to buy (Cheetah and Cyborg Superman, even though the ankles bother me)... but I am only buying the most wanted on my list and Sinestro will be a buy also...great review Brad as always!
To answer your question, I think I am a little more into this than the Multiverse, mostly the colors and of course having his guns. I also like the proportions a little better, but the domino mask head does help the Multiverse have its place, too.
As a side note the only problem I found with putting the domino masked head on his shoulders is that the peg on the essentials is a bit long meaning a snipped peg or a drilled head to seat it properly.
The DC Essentials all sharing the same body is such a bummer. Its something that I can never unsee once you brought it up in another of your videos! That being said, this is a great figure! PS: I hope we get a new Damian Robin soon. The Icons Super Sons is great, but out of scale with everything, and the Multiverse one has a real dumb face. Im hoping for one with a removable hood.
This figure is definitely better than the Multiverse figure. However, something about the feet bothers me and it's not the joint. I can't help but feel that the feet are too small. I don't know why, but they just look too small to me. That, and the guns look a teeny bit too thin. However, with all that being said, I think this is the best Red Hood figure only being rivaled by the Arkham Knight figure and the Injustice 2 figure. The Injustice figure only having the problem of the wrists being fragile. Arkham Knight's figure having soft plastic that tears way too easily, but I think they're all still good figures one way or another. I don't feel bummed at all about him not coming with a Jason Todd head, as I don't see a reason to display him without a helmet. It's still not good, but he comes with everything I feel a Red Hood figure needs. Guns, holsters, and good articulation.
Thank you so much for this! I was trying to decide which one, clearly this is the better figure. I can deal with the ankles. Glad I found this channel, I've been so behind on collectibles lately.
I’m getting both versions of this figure but man I REALLT want this versions here’s hoping that I’ll be able to get my hands on one for a reasonable price. I just need him to finish my bat family...and finally. I don’t like the use of the same male bulk I agree with you the ankles are VERY weak on them it’s very annoying but nothing a figure stand or wall can’t do to hold him 🤣
Brad The DC Universe Geek lol good I have some of my dc figures high on shelf and my black Adam essentials figure keeps falling over he’s gotten some paint damage on his hair and so I’ve just put him away for now. This new essentials mold is off too me especially since they keep using the same mold but the coat and holsters do make it better than their other figures in the essential line I can’t wait to save up for this guy and probably get it from bbts I just wish one of these guys came with shurikens!
I have and like that one too. I didn't include it in the scale bit though because of his size. I was going to add in the Imaginext version just for fun though. I should have. Lol.
Okay, but in all seriousness, we need a Godspeed figure! For those of you who are unaware, Godspeed is a speedster named August Heart, who found Barry Allen after the lab accident. He is so fast, he was in two places at once. He kills speedsters and absorbs their Speed Force. Kind of like Clancy Brown from Highlander.
YES! I have been waiting for this review. This will be my first (and I guess last) DC Collectables figure. Thanks for the awesome review! Also, does anyone think that they molded the holsters into the Multiverse Red Hood to make people buy this one?!
My friend Jason who worked for Mattel on the multiverse line told me it wasn't designed like that in the first place. I think somebody vetoed the designer and wanted to save money on the production. Such a shame.
I prefer this red hood dc essentials figure over the past figures and mattel this really hits the geek spot for me. And dc essentials red hood is still ok with out the domino mask at least we have the guns. Unlike mattel giving a domino mask jason todd and sculpt gun in the holsters. 😂
I would really want a DC Essentials power armour version first because Apex Luthor will be a short lived passing phase. Great in the story though. Can't wait to see how it all pans out.
I like this one and the multiverse version equally. The paint seems a little lackluster on this jacket, and I’m not a huge fan of the helmet. I think his head is a maybe tad too small. Mattel screwed up with the gun holsters, but I think both of their head sculpts are better than this DCC one. I may get this one, undecided. Nice review!
Glad I skipped out on the multiverse fig and got this one instead. DC collectibles are truly collectibles while multiverse are a hit or miss. Their figs do look cheap unfortunately due to the shiny paint and unsculpted muscle details
@@ComicCrossing for me dc collectibles makes better figures overall. Not to mention articulation. Redhood isn't redhood without his pistols and personally I'd be displaying him with his helmet all the time so multiverse is completely out for me.

I definitely was really stoked for this figure and it showed through! He's definitely going to be in my top 10 for 2019.

My soul ascended past the void watching you manhandle the box.. Good on ya mate.
I definitely plan on getting this version than the multiverse one.

The picture for the thumbnail is awesome
Great review brad just like cyborg superman red hood is a must buy definite improvement over all other versions of him .

HERE HERE! I second that motion! We need a new Damian.
DC should continue with the essentials line. I also agree with the weak ankle pivot joint😔
There's nothing wrong with THE ankles Just look closely and see how they line up . and then it's okay . MY WONDER WOMAN STANDING LOOKING SO BEAUTIFUL.
I like this RED HOOD DC ESSENTIALS VERSION better .
Hey mattel DC collectibles gave there red hood guns
Nice one Brad he looks great, shame those ankles still suck tho but at least his guns are correct this time! Have a great day mate
I think I love this one!! Do you have the Cassandra Cain batgirl? You could add her to the bat family! She’s pretty expensive but on eBay, not really
I have the Mattel version. She was expensive 10 years ago. I don't have the DCD one though.

The ultimate red hood figure!
Very well made video Brad
SOLD!!! DEFINITELY A FIGURE TO HAVE! THANKS BRAD AND I WANT THIS FIGURE....👍🏽💯❗
Red Hood looks awesome! Thank you for the review 😊 And...he has gunz!
Throwback to that Red Hood costume. It shall be missed, but the newer costume is growing on me
Great review friend👌
Thank you so much for this! I was trying to decide which one, clearly this is the better figure.
I can deal with the ankles.
Glad I found this channel, I've been so behind on collectibles lately.
Great review. I'm buying it next week.
Awesome figure!!! I must get this!!

Aaaaand Red Hood actually has foot peg holes! I forgot to mention that.

3 in a row. You forgot the Hiya Toys one. Despite its size, it's a great figure. A great Red Hood figure.
I have and like that one too. I didn't include it in the scale bit though because of his size. I was going to add in the Imaginext version just for fun though. I should have. Lol.
That's probably an idea for a Red Hood video? If you have enough, maybe you can rank you Red Hood/Jason Todd collection for us? 😊
Okay, but in all seriousness, we need a Godspeed figure!
For those of you who are unaware,
Godspeed is a speedster named August Heart, who found Barry Allen after the lab accident. He is so fast, he was in two places at once. He kills speedsters and absorbs their Speed Force.
Kind of like Clancy Brown from Highlander.
I have had zero issues with the ankles. Luck I guess. Cherry picking from this line is crucial and this one looks like a definite pickup
I was hoping they had fixed the ankle joint problem after the Joker figure, because that one seems to have ankles that are a lot more stable.
Red Hood is my favorite comic character if you can't tell from my profile pic!!!!
Big Tex how do you feel about the “new” costume?
@@bwanabeast3169 I like it it's grown on me. The Arkham game version is my favorite design of the character.
Big Tex I agree that the new suit is growing on me. But, I like that the helmet version could really show the damaged red hood received in a fight.
@@bwanabeast3169 The helmet will be missed but I'm sure it'll come back somehow.
I'm cosplaying as red hood for RI comic con
Awesome review Brad, thanks! Soo, should I take this one or the Mattel one?
best package opening technique on youtube
Lol, didn't expected he would rip the box open 😂
YES! I have been waiting for this review. This will be my first (and I guess last) DC Collectables figure. Thanks for the awesome review! Also, does anyone think that they molded the holsters into the Multiverse Red Hood to make people buy this one?!

So far I've got Supergirl and Wonder woman of THE ESSENTIALS LINE . and I plan to get the rest of them .
Can’t wait for the “Drake” figure!! bendis 🙄
Batman Fan I agree 100%
just pick him up today. excellent figure
Brad! You’re featured in the Batman 80th anniversary box subscription!
I prefer this red hood dc essentials figure over the past figures and mattel this really hits the geek spot for me.
And dc essentials red hood is still ok with out the domino mask at least we have the guns. Unlike mattel giving a domino mask jason todd and sculpt gun in the holsters. 😂
Great review! But amazing singing voice
It's like mixing the multiverse red hood and the dc collectibles new 52 red hood and figure together
I wished they gave him the new 52 red hood design without the mouth and I loved the jacket with the under red things and the new 52 red hood cymbol
Not bad. I got tired of waiting for a quality red hood figure so I made an awesome custom out of a SH Figuarts Star Lord.
"I got guns!" Lol 💥
It will be my first Red Hood Figure! I'm so happy!! Greetings from Italy 😎
Love this new red hood figure. Hey, how'd you custom make that Batman with the cape?
the smell of gunpowder
great review and great figure, i hope i´ll get it soon
So the multiverse Jason Todd head can be swapped on this one back-and-forth?
If Apex Lex Luthor became a figure; would you be interested? Btw I agree with the bat symbol on his chest.
You mean the worst version of Lex Luthor to ever exist???
I would really want a DC Essentials power armour version first because Apex Luthor will be a short lived passing phase. Great in the story though. Can't wait to see how it all pans out.
Apex Luthor rls. A figure will be nice.
Mannn, did you have to destroy the box like that 😂
I made it easier for the recycling fellas at the depot. 🤪😂
Dc essentials should make a Red Robin
hey brad. great review on this guy. any news of a new john constantine fig comin out in the near future?
You should make your own intro and you singing it.
I like this one and the multiverse version equally. The paint seems a little lackluster on this jacket, and I’m not a huge fan of the helmet. I think his head is a maybe tad too small. Mattel screwed up with the gun holsters, but I think both of their head sculpts are better than this DCC one. I may get this one, undecided.
Nice review!
Awesome
Are the ankles the problem? Or is it just that the figure has small feet and not much of a heel?
Damn. I took offense with you ripping the box like you did. 😂
I hope they do a batman beyond essentials
We finally get 2 figures based on this look then his look changes in the comic.......
Ain't that the way, geez.
I got nothing bad to say, I like what I see.
why u didn't put Batwoman together with the Bat family?
She didn't scale well with the shot so I left her out.
Why do I feel like this is the is the only dc figure alot of people buy and I'll have to get it on eBay
If you have a comic shop near you they can order it from Diamond Distributors. That will save you some cash.
@@BradTheDCUniverseGeek too bad all my local shops closed down 😢
Definitely better than the multiverse one.
Oh, nice.👍
Glad I skipped out on the multiverse fig and got this one instead. DC collectibles are truly collectibles while multiverse are a hit or miss. Their figs do look cheap unfortunately due to the shiny paint and unsculpted muscle details
I think that the Domino Mask Jason Todd head honestly makes the Multiverse Figure worth it all on its own.
@@ComicCrossing for me dc collectibles makes better figures overall. Not to mention articulation. Redhood isn't redhood without his pistols and personally I'd be displaying him with his helmet all the time so multiverse is completely out for me.
Cool
Why is the video resolution only 360p?
It's not. You just got here really quick. It likely was still processing. If you check now it should be 1080
@@BradTheDCUniverseGeek ok hahaha
Loved the comedy. That red hood helmet looks lickable like a lollipop. Lol
Dude now that you mention it it looks like a cherry flavoured hard candy. Lol.
I bought him, love it. But the ankles are so horrible!!
Where’s Red Robin
He was in the group shots in the ending montage of photos. There are two photos with him.
Brad The DC Universe Geek oh but I also meant from dc essentials
I am not a fan of any bat at all, I prefer Jason Todd's 1st Red Hood Appearance in the Under The Red Hood story
Blah the arms just always look so long
I think I'll buy this
