Great review, as always. Just got this in the mail from MTS the other day, and I just opened it today. I'm a sucker for western stuff. I think it's a pretty cool set. The only other horses I have are a couple of the DKR Build-A-Horse figures. So it's nice to have an another style of horse to choose from. I think this slightly smaller brown horse will be a good one for Carrie Kelly Robin to ride. As for the Hex figure itself, I personally like it quite a lot. I'm not wild about the coat (I'm just not a fan of soft goods on plastic figures), but the figure itself is pretty well done, IMO. Now I just have to find a use for him. It's going to be hard to fit Jonah Hex into one of my comics as I don't have any other western figures in this scale, or any old west backgrounds to use in photos. If I want to include him in a story, I may have to have him time-travel to modern day Gotham and team up with Batman to help him get back to his own time (or something). It wouldn't be that much of a stretch as Hex has time-traveled before in the comics. Hmm, wheels turning.
In the New 52, he does travel to present day Gotham. Batwing puts him in jail for having firearms and wearing his confederate uniform. Later Bruce Wayne looks into it and figures that this is the same Hex that helped his ancestor, so he helps get him out of jail and acquitted in court.
Something just seems a bit off. Maybe it's the shirt, maybe it's the face? The shirt just looks kinda weird to me and the normal side looks...I always imagine Jonah as a very intense looker, perpetually angry. I forget the names, but the belt styles are great! The first one is more of a 'sitting' style, for Desperados, for drawing from a sitting position. The other's just kinda default.
I got my Jonah Hex the same day you did.. Nice! I’m overall pleased since I’m a big fan of the character. I agree it’s overpriced, really should have a wired coat, at the price point we deserved that. Seeing him come with guns is great. There is a comic version of him where he’s in a dystopian future & Hex is kinda dressed like Mad Max. I doubt we will ever get that figure, maybe I will make a custom figure of that version.. and the Batman version who’s in that future too ;)
@@dHuntersReviews Supergirl's, although technically Comet is a centaur that got turned into a horse by Circe, he's even been an on and off again love interest for Lois and Kara. Silver Age DC gets really weird.
GameStop has the Platinum Chase version in stock but they want $100 for it! Selling a new release for a markup is scalping. Easy pass though, I prefer the brown horse of the standard version. Already have the white one from a Spawn Gunslinger set.
Someone should ask Todd about the guns and where DC/WB currently stand on it. Looks like Medicom also got approval for the guns with the upcoming Mafex Knightmare Batman and Joker. It's likely still a no for wide retail releases but it seems like they're ok with it for premium priced with a label of not a toy and for adult collectors. Going by their promo pics, the cross belt is for the melee weapons and in one of their promo pic they had the tomahawk by the ass. Might be safer with that than getting impaled by your own knife back there.
Can't wait for elephants in 7" scale.
We'll need a huge army of those elephants.
lol that would be something

Sounds like a plan!

What issues are those in? I’d like to read that story
@@dHuntersReviews Issues 21-29 of All-Star Western during the New52 era.
I believe I have thisen
That's a great horse army.
Yessir
SWEET...now I'll have 3 horses to add to my collection. That Hex figure is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for
He’s good, could be a little better, but he’s good!
Would absolutely buy this.....if it sold in my country.
The Mcfarlane selection here is so random,some sell others dont
@@TheMadHouse1939 what country?
@@dHuntersReviews Portugal
lovely
Yessir

I agree, I feel a tiny bit underwhelmed, and I"m not really sure why...I think the face could've been SLIGHTLY more gruesome, just a smidge.
There's a movie of Jonah Hex. He's played by Josh Brolin. Makes me want to go watch it now😂
I haven’t seen it
I heard it sucks
I got my Jonah Hex the same day you did.. Nice!

Need to find the platinum
Thanks D! I didn't grab this my collection has gotten out of control.. I need to sell some stuff 😂
Need MORE
Mcfarlane needs to do the horse in white so we can have a Comet.
Whose horse is comet?
@@dHuntersReviews Supergirl's, although technically Comet is a centaur that got turned into a horse by Circe, he's even been an on and off again love interest for Lois and Kara. Silver Age DC gets really weird.
Exactly, a two pack with Comet and an updated Supergirl. Same thing with shining knight and Pegasus.
Would be cool
Don’t hold your breath
What?
No Mythic Legions horses?
Don’t have any
Hear they are great
How very odd.
The 'tubes doesn't like the folks at WB being called out on their pathetic anti-boom stick rules.
Their fake caring
Will it be on Amazon?
No
McFarlane exclusive
@@dHuntersReviews now its on amazon
Prob 3rd party seller charging extra
I just got this too. It’s cool. I think being an exclusive helps for the gun accessories to be allowed.
Exclusive and higher priced
@@dHuntersReviews McFarlane is raising prices in general.
Just like everyone else
He's got guns!
It’s a Christmas miracle
Is it me or have the weapons become actually fit to scale with these figures….
They getting better
Used to be super large
Warner Bros. shimps and their ridiculous anti-boom stick rules.
It’s dumb
Pretending to care about gun influence
@@dHuntersReviews Yes, especially considering how few characters in DC Comics actually use guns.
GameStop has the Platinum Chase version in stock but they want $100 for it! Selling a new release for a markup is scalping. Easy pass though, I prefer the brown horse of the standard version. Already have the white one from a Spawn Gunslinger set.
What do you mean? Show me
@@dHuntersReviews sorry I just realized it was the Canadian GameStop site. That explains the higher price maybe.
I don’t think it’ll be platinum
I think the photos are wrong
But in case I had my buddy in Canada order for me
@@dHuntersReviews I just noticed that Walmart Collector Con (starting today 10-17-24) has the Platinum edition listed also.
I ordered it

Also Revoltech reissued the Arkham Knight figure with added guns that didn’t come with the original.
Yeah, seems premium high priced figures are starting to get them
It’s a start! For a while they couldn’t have them either!
Jonah Hex is the Punisher Version of DC
Not really…
Punisher 200 years ago maybe
duster jacket_coat bowie knife tomahawk
Correct
For enough
Bring your heavy set cohost back! Nice jugs

Yo bro, that's this man's wife. D*mn, no tact. You need a better upbringing. In another venure, you'd get your head cracked open.
