OK, thanks to someone over at AFT I found out that isn't Red Hood, but Mr. Toxic. Who apparently is going to be a villain in the new 52 Universe(If not already). I'm really hoping he looks closer to the picture below by the time it is mailed out to me. If not, Matty's going to have big brass balls to ask me to take a 3rd leap of faith with another sub if he's part of that. I'm hoping MoMoney is correct in his assessment of the situation

Sorry but that is a costume of the Red hood...not Mr. Toxic...any Google search will show you that.
OK, gotta ask. Has the forum been taken over by a bunch of smart asses lately? Sorry about my mistake, but there is a more tactful way to get your point across. Interestingly enough I took your advice and did a google web and then a google image search for both Batman Red Hood and Red Hood. Funny thing, it doesn't pop up until the bottom page 4 on the first search and the 3rd on the latter. So it was easy for that member and my myself to make that mistake. So the next time you want to pop up, think about it first and show a little respect for your fellow members, ok?

Sorry if you took it that way, it's not the way it was intended to be.
I'm a little offended by you using language like that toward people on the forum because you misunderstood my intentions and shows little respect on your part towards people's input and opinions.
And that's all I have to say regarding the matter. Case closed.

If I wanted a Red Hood figure, he should be in a tux, just like the JLU version. I am totally unfamiliar with this design, and who ever even asked for it? This is why I don't like blindly giving money to Mattel, because they take advantage of you by giving you things that no one wanted just so they can make a buck and force you to buy something you wouldn't have bought otherwise. There are lots of other characters or even Red Hood designs that would have been more appropriate than this. This choice is a bit of a middle finger to me.
I'm looking forward to the Red Hood figure. I prefer that design to the 'leather jacket and jeans' look, and I really enjoyed those issues of Batman & Robin.
To each his own, I suppose.

Definitely not my favorite look for the Red Hood. I know Frank Quitely was trying to put his own spin on the looks of the bat-book characters when he came up with the original version, but it's a miss imo. But in the interest of full disclosure I have to say I'm not a fan of Jason's resurrection, of the New 52 "Red Hood and the Outlaws" book, or of the current biker jacket look. I noticed that in this month's Batman #13
they revived the original tux and helmet look when Joker returns and puts Harley in it as his stand-in.
Why the powers that be decided that this character merits a figure when there are so many others that we've been craving is a mystery. It would almost have made more sense if they HAD done Mr. Toxic. (Not really, no....)
