Anybody get New 52 Deathstroke?

This figure is really great. I picked him up today and he has lots of nice hidden articulation. I would have liked an ab crunch and waist swivel, but otherwise he's pretty perfect. All three of his weapons attach somewhere on his costume.

Seems like Deathstroke toys are almost always pretty amazing...

I have not picked one up yet but I plan to. It looks great but I don't get why they don't give their figures waist swivels tho. It seems like the most basic form of articulation you can give a figure. I agree, most Deathstroke toys are awesome.

I think in this case it might have something to do with how clunky his belt is. Despite that, he's well worth the money.

Are the pieces hanging off of him solid pieces? One thing that I thought was strange about some of my DCC is that the pouches and holsters are sometimes made with the same rock hard prone to snapping material that the rest of their bodies are. Not that it really matters since I'll probably be displaying him in the same vanilla pose I do most of my figures but I'm curious. :halgrin:

Most of his belt is solid, but there are two parts that are flexible to allow movement.

I like the look of this figure. Does it scale okay with DCUC? I know they've made some smaller figures lately and they're even scaling them more evenly now at 6.75" even if they are taller than the DCUC.

I think this guy is pretty tall, taller than the DCC New52 Batman. Haven't picked him up yet, but I plan on it. I wasn't going to get him, but when I saw him in the store I was wowed. He looks great. Also, seeing that he has thigh cuts and ankle hinges makes me think I can modify him a little and he'll be a pretty darn posable figure. Most of the time I don't really care if DCC figs have much artic, but certain characters like Slade here really deserve it.

This is a wonderful figure, I love how the shoulder pads are hinged to allow more movement

I got mine. Astounding, just astounding. So happy I got it. It doesn't scale right with my DCUC but I didn't expect it to so that's no problem.

So I finally got this bad boy, and like you guys I love him. I did a few quick mods to him, with a few more on the way. First and foremost, I opened up his hip joints just a little and it makes a world of difference. It was so easy to do I started to get pissed off that DCC doesn't just make this a standard POA. Exact same parts, just reshaped.

First I shaved down the inside top corner of each thigh just enough so that it would clear the inside of his hips. Then I "keyholed" the peg hole just a little - making a small notch in the top of each hole big enough to fit over the peg. When I put the legs back on, all of a sudden, it was a different figure:

I also cut his trigger fingers free of the rest of his hands so he could hold guns better, gave the pistol and knife some silver weathering, painted the hilt of his sword black, and painted his shin guards metallic orange (copper paint with a little yellow mixed in).

He even looks better just standing still.

Next up is giving him a waist cut, and maybe repainting his legs and chest a little.
