He translates rather well and so far I think Goliath has been the one to look the least like his animated counterpart. His default portrait is pretty similar to his animated appearance, but with an added paint wash over the flesh that makes his eyes stand out a bit more. He seems to scale well with Goliath and the others and he certainly fits in stylistically. He comes with a lance, like the old Kenner toy, in case you feel like he needs one.īrooklyn in his neutral stance, which does involve some bent legs, stands at around 6.25″ to the top of his head and a great deal taller if you factor in his horns. And despite being another male character, he does feel a bit like Demona due to his more slight appearance. He also has the claw like tips on his wings similar to Demona.
It’s a muted crimson and he boasts simplified wings that are more like large kites than bat wings. That’s Brooklyn’s defining trait for me, his rather large beak, as well as the red hue his skin features. He’s very lean and very cut, and unlike the other humanoid gargoyles we’ve seen so far, he has a visage that’s very much animalistic in form as opposed to the more human features of a Goliath or Hudson. Brooklyn is unmistakably based on the character from the animated series, but like the other figures in the line, the realism is dialed up a notch with him. Djokovic is the sculptor as well for this release with paint by Geoffrey Trapp and Jon Wardell. It seems to appropriately place Brooklyn at the bridge from which he took his name, though it almost looks like that was a thought that came after the image of Brooklyn himself was conceived since he’s hovering in a crouched pose which is a bit odd.
As for today, we’re taking a look at the latest member of the Manhattan Clan and his name is Brooklyn.īrooklyn arrives in the same Ultimates styled box as the rest of the figures in the line boasting original artwork by Djordje Djokovic and Emiliano Santalucia. Today’s figure I think went up for preorder with an estimated ship date of last September or October, but here we are in May and it’s just now arrived, but with another figure! Are these supply chain delayed figures or is it merely NECA having to prioritize other releases to either hit a certain window with them or are events like Haulathon mucking things up for our beloved warriors of the night? I’m not sure, but the release calendar for Gargoyles is looking uncharacteristically crowded for 2023 and I’m curious to see how much product eventually sees release this year. The line has seen large gaps between releases and we’re basically on a 2-1-2 release schedule with gaps of 6+ months in between. We do, however, have a Warriors by Night Wednesday for you! It feels like NECA’s Gargoyles line is the most stop-and-start action figure line I’m into of late. There’s a part of me that wants to just call him “Firebrand” whenever I see him.įor the first time in a long time, we did not have a Turtle Tuesday post this week.
