Paaaaackage Shoooooot! Green Arrow is packaged in a neutral stance, holding his bow and arrow off to the side. Not much else new to say here. Let’s move on…

Green Arrow is a fairly simple figure, but there’s still a lot more new sculpting on this figure than on many of the DCUC figures. His quiver is a permanently attached sculpted piece, as are the little pouches on his belt and the straps around his right thigh and both biceps. He even has a little dagger hanging off the back of his belt. I like the little sculpted lacing on his v-neck and the way his hood is sculpted as a separate soft, rubbery piece. The head sculpt is a slam dunk, particularly Ollie’s ‘stache and beard. The paintwork is very well done. He’s mainly just two-tone green with black leggings, but the detailwork on the face is immaculate and every little button on his pouches are individually painted. Nice!

Ollie’s articulation is exactly what w’ve come to expect after twenty waves of these figures. You get a ball jointed neck, the arms have ball joints in the shoulders, hinged elbows, and swivels in his biceps and wrists. The legs have universal movement at the hips, hinges at the elbows and knees, and swivels in the thighs. His torso swivels at the waist, and you get the usual ab crunch hinge.

Naturally, Ollie comes with his bow. I’m a little torn on the accessory. The bow looks fine, but I kind of wish it wasn’t sculpted with an arrow knocked into it. Chances are I’m going to pose him holding the bow down at his side or across his chest, and it just looks kind of odd with the arrow on the string like that. Not a big deal, but just my two cents.

This modern version of Green Arrow turned out to be a really nice figure. He wasn’t high on my list, but I’m certainly glad to have him, particularly since he is an A-lister in the DC Universe. I probably would have even picked him up if he didn’t have a C&C piece. Tomorrow, we’ll check out his one-time sidekick… Red Arrow!
