Today's review will be the final action figure from the Wal-Mart Exclusive Gotham City 5 pack which was released a couple months back. Two-Face.
Now this of course, is a repainted figure of the previously released Two-Face from Mattel's DC Superheroes toy line which was released back in the fall of 2007.
There is one small difference between the two sculps. The sculpt of Two-Face's left hand (the scared one) is different.
The face sculpt itself is exactly the same. Obvously the paint job is much different. The original DCSH Two-Face looks to be painted with a was to bring out the details of the scars but the GC5 Two-Face's skin is just painted in one shade of green. A tad dissapointing. Even the hair was not painted as nicely.
Here is a close up of the hands sculpt below. DCSH Two-Face has a deformed sculpted hand with scarring and the Gotham City 5 Two-Face just has a standard sculpted hand, most likely a re-used part with no scarring at all.
Ive touched on the paint job a bit but overall Two-Face has got a clean paint job, it just lacks detail compared to the DCSH Two-Face. The face looks good but some shading and a dark wash would have really brought out the detail in the face more.
Here is a side by side comparison of the two action figures. Two-Face's articulation is of course the same as the DCSH version. He generally has all the usual joints as an other DCUC action figures with the exception of an abdominal joint.
As for accessories, Gotham City Two-Face does not come with anything at all, compared to DCSH Two-Face who came with a pretty cool Tommy Gun. One major disappointment with the Gotham City 5 pack is that only one of the 5 figures comes with an accessory (Catwoman)
Overall Gotham City Two-Face is a good action figure but compared to Mattel's DC Superheroes Two-Face, it falls a bit short. No accessories and an inferior paint job compared to the original sculpt places Gotham City Two-Face in 2nd place between the two figures. If you only get one of the two, i would definitely suggest the original
Sculpt/Design - 7, Paint - 7, Articulation - 8, Accessories - 0, Fun -7
Both Two-Face action figures can be found on eBay. GC Two-Face can usually be found sold loose or in the 5 pack on eBay. DCSH Two-Face may be a bit harder to find since that action figure is two years old now.
