I know that I profiled a Deathstroke figure not that long ago, but I just ran across this one and couldn't let this opportunity to share some info about one of the greatest bits of merch I've ever seen. On January 25, 2019, Kaiyodo released the 11th figure from its Amazing Yamaguchi line that features everyone's favorite assassin, Deathstroke.
This figure, designed by the legendary Japanese toy sculptor, Katsuhisa Yamaguchi, and seems to have been based upon Deathstroke's Promethium suit, but differs just enough to feel like an original look. It measures 170 mm (about 6.7 inches) and has 46 points of articulation. In addition, the figure's movable joints utilize the Revoltech construction, which gives the figure both added stability and positional movement allowing for more action-inspired posing. Judging from the images below, the Revoltech figures can faithfully reproduce the savage action imagery from the printed page.
This striking figure is mid-priced, including tax, at ¥ 7,538, or just under $70 US if you order from Kaiyodo, but can be found online from US sellers ranging from $61 to over $100, so be sure to shop around.
