I've failed this city blog... It's been quite awhile but I'm still kicking. I graduated from school last week and the weeks leading up to that I had piles of work to do... but that's all over now.
Straight from Bell Reve it's everyone's favorite wrist-gunslinging, thick mustache wearing, Flava Flav impersonator Deadshot!
This is one nice figure and one that I'm a little surprised we got. If I was told that Dc would make three Deadshots within this short of a time frame, I wouldn't have believed it. This is the first comic inspired Deadshot since the DCUC figure from Mattel. This is the characters new look in the current Suicide Squad comics. I am fan of the 1980's series and when they made this as one of the 52 in the relaunch I was excited. I'm still on the fence on what's been done to Amanda Waller.

Deadshot is my favorite Dc villain and he's really evolved as a character since his first appearance in Detective comics in the 50's, as Deadshot has been the star of all the different Suicide Squad series. The character has had a few different looks throughout his long history, but all have been largely similar. The character has made several appearances in the CW show Arrow played my actor Michael Rowe. One difference between the screen and comic is that in the comics Floyd Lawton has both eyes while in the show he has an eye patch and a Steve Austin eye.
This is an articulated figure and as far as I'm concerned is only missing one point of articulation, an ab crunch. The sculpt of the figure would have likely been hurt if one had been put in so I can accept it's absence. My favorite part of this figure is the shoulder pads, as much as I don't care for their design, the fact that they can move to help the flow of articulation makes them far less obtrusive then on first inspection. The figure even comes with a huge gun with not one but two sights!
I haven't picked up the other two in this series but I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually. Amanda Waller is the figure I'd want want to see if another "wave" from this comic was produced. With all of her appearances in Arrow, I think it's becoming more and more likely that it could happen (Granny Goodness still seems out of the realm of possibilities for now).
