Hudson is Goliath’s mentor, the former leader of the Wyvern Clan, and a founding member of the Manhattan Clan, formed after being awaken by Xanatos when the castle was brought to New York City and topped his skyscraper with the castle, which broke the spell.

Hudson is packaged on a window box with an opening flap, with beautifully done cover art on the front, figure images on the sides, and back. Also on the back is a description, and a look at additional characters offered in this line. The opening flap reveals another image of Hudson, and in the window you can see him packaged in a plastic tray along with all of his accessories.

 

Hudson is given a modern update with a touch of realism, and not solely based on the cartoon from the 90’s. The sculpt is beautifully, with sculpted clothing and textures, all while staying true to the character’s likeness. He comes in a dark brown vest, with the back featuring straps, with metallic gold belt buckles, and shoulder guards painted in black with a wash. He also comes with a black belt with a gold belt buckle holding the loincloth that is painted in a dark brown with a black wash. The pants are also given a wash, with stitches on the sides, and straps over the stockings. The skin also has a sculpted texture and he has brown bracelets with metallic silver, and the belt includes a holster for his sword. The tail is bendy, so you can curve it, and the wings snap into the back and the wingspan is as long as Goliath’s, so a folding set would be ideal for posing next to other figures.

 

Hudson’s head sculpts are also nice done, with one including eyes with pupils, a closed grin, and you can see the scar better on the left eye. The other head sculpt has white eyes, and a fierce snarling head sculpt, with sharp fangs and you can see the inside of his mouth, including the tongue.

 

His articulation is also standard for the line, including a ball jointed head, ball jointed neck, ball hinged shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, ball jointed torso upper and lower, swivel-hinged wrists, ball jointed hips, swivel-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles, and hinged toes.

Included with Hudson are a total of 7 hand sculpts, a sword, and an alternate head sculpt.

 

Overall, Hudson is amazingly done, and fans are surely going to want this figure to their collection. Every aspect about this line has been well thought out and executed, especially the engineering, paint applications, and overall likeness to the quality. Hudson is an essential part of the Gargoyle’s line,  and he will surely win the hearts of collectors, as the likeness and attention to detail is just spot on. Make sure to jump in on his line as fans, especially me, have been waiting for someone to pick up this brand and make figures like this for quite sometime. You an order now at our sponsor below:
