I don't know this character, but he looks pretty cool.
BTW, I love Warner's action figure rationale...guns bad, but knives okay. It's like how YouTube recently allows tons of blood, gore, and violence, but those pesky curse words just HAVE to be bleeped out! |

This is the main villain in the "Hush" storyarc by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee about 20 years ago. There is zero excuse for this figure to not have twin pistols.

I'm glad to see how many of these recent reveals have been Batman villains that aren't the Joker. Having said that, I always found Hush himself to be the weakest part of the Hush story.

Yeah, Hush himself was such a dud that they completely changed the ending for the anumated movie and no one seemed to mind.
But the figure is spot on. |

I just said a coulke hours ago that he was the main villain in that story but that’s false, isnt’t it? Still one of my favorites, Leob had a good few years.

I think he's become a better villain over time since writers are no longer dealing with the convoluted twists that DC editorial imposed on them.

Hush is a terrible character. Similar backstory to Black Mask while ripping off Two-Face's appearance in TDKR (ironically, even Two-Face was among those who assumed the role of Hush). Even in his own story, Riddler takes the spotlight as the mastermind anyway.
That said, this figure properly captures his appearance based on the climactic fight sans guns, so McFarlane gets points for that. |

Looks pretty good.
I want to laugh at the "knives are OK, guns bad", but that's literally the rationale of people who want to ban guns so it kinda fits with what DC is doing I guess. I'm massively surprised McFarlane doesn't just make a pack of various guns and sells them under his own label. |

As a Canadian and Aussie ex-pat, I'm fully onboard with not including guns with action figures that can be found in children's toy departments (with an opposite opinion for comic and specialty shops), "accuracy" be damned. The US has this fascination with guns that, in its navel-gazing culture, has the rest of us shaking our goddamn head every time you hear "thoughts and prayers" for some kid who just got gunned down by another kid who figured out his dad's lock to his AR that he bought for "protection" in advance of a zombie apocalypse or, y'know, handy for an insurrection.
If toy makers don't make toy guns that look like guns anymore I'm totally fine with not having 1:12 replicas in the toy aisles, and just buy my own 3rd party — McFarlane making their own weapons pack is a fantastic idea, and a great suggestion! |

Because those same crazy ass kids don't idolize the Joker because he uses guns - they idolize him because he's just as deranged as they are. Most Batman villains read like a fucking laundry list of your typical school shooter's thoughts. Kids seemed fine with toy guns and didn't become homicidal maniacs until Colombine, so I think it's a bit strange to blame toys with guns that have been around decades prior for school shootings. |

We're in a different culture now -- mass murder + mass media = celebrity. If kids seemed fine before Columbine (if that was ever even true) it's certainly not now, in terms of easy access and motivation.
I wasn't trying to start a debate, I was only pointing out that Todd makes figures with trigger hands so we can at least give them pistols if we choose to, finger-pointers for solid trolling. In this culture and this age, I think we can agree that in the mind of a kid a weapon is a weapon and they won't really care or know better, but real-life apples to apples and loose gun laws a knife is going to kill a lot less people than a semi-automatic. There's a reason you don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Last edited by jostju; 03-09-2022 at 03:09 PM.. |

But i do think its utter ricockulous that these media and toy and comic companies think that by not including fire arms with figs or neutering characters who are military and fire arms primary based ( like marvel turning the punisher in to texas cattle skull symbol baring super ninja who now refuses to use guns or some lame ass shit like that ) is ao ehow gonna make people think oh no guns rrreee baaddd mmmkkaayy. Seriously if you kid is swayed to pick up a gun because a fucking toy has one you got way bigger things to worry about.

Not going to debate the gun topic, but I will say I'd rather the figure be given something like knives rather than some BS space lasers or anything completely ridiculous.
