[Prowl 2009]

Our second last Wave 18 pictoral review is a figure I am extatic to finally be receiving - Bronze Tiger, a character I grew to love whilst reading the Suicide Squad series of comics growing up. He's a honorable, disciplined and decent man, unlike some of the scum he works alongside.

In the accessories department, aside for a piece for C&C Apache Chief, Tiger also comes with a tiger mask and a small grouping of reused DCUC weapons, including Deathstroke’s sword and staff as well as Nightwing’s Tonfa sticks. They're a nice inclusion with the figure, as many DCUC figures don't even come with accessories in many cases. They fit the character well, even though he was more of a hand-to-hand martial arts type of guy in the comics I remember reading. But, again, they go well with Tiger and as such, I am not going to complain.

Sculpt wise, Tiger uses the standard medium build body with a new head and skirt sculpts. The expression on his face is quite intense while the tiger mask features lots of detail and is simply beautiful.

Bronze Tiger has the standard DCUC articulation and, thankfully, the skirt piece doesn't hinder any articulation whatsoever.

Paint wise, it's pretty clean and neat with most of the body cast in an orange plastic for the costume. The tiger stripes on the costume are all nice and crisp and neat. The paint job is nice on the tiger mask with multiple washes and some gloss for the inside of the tiger’s mouth.

All in all, Bronze Tiger is a win, although Fwoosh does mention that, with a few more points of articulation, this figure could've gone from great to spectacular. Still, a clear win in my books that I eagerly look forward to adding to my DCUC collection in the near future.
