Seems like it's trying to make some rider-esque designs. Or at least, they remind me more of what you can see in japanese sentais more than in Power Rangers itself (which, to be fair, it's a franchise with the soul of a tokusatsu show. Ah, whatever. I guess it is a power rangers approach).
Here's a comparison photo of the upcoming Red Hood figure by McFarlane to their Batgirl and Nightwing figure.

I like the way the red bat is molded instead of just painted like in the DC Direct version, plus, is actually on-model, but I have my doubts with the articulation. From the little that can be seen, Mcfarlane's version has has less articulation points than the DC Direct version.
Happy 10th year anniversary to the movie that made me love Jason Todd more - 'Batman: Under the Red Hood'.
Here's hoping that one day, this masterpiece of a movie will be one of the basis for any live action Batman film.

it was due that movie that I learn the existence of Jason Todd love him in that film and been a huge fan ever since
Batman: I know I failed you. But I tried to save you, Jason. I'm... I'm trying to save you now.
Red Hood: Is that what you think this is about?! That you let me die? I don't know what clouded your judgment worse. Your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality. Bruce, I forgive you... For not saving me. But why, why on God's earth is HE still alive?!
Red Hood: Why? I'm not talking about killing Penguin, or Scarecrow, or Dent. I'm talking about HIM. Just him. I'm doing it because... because he took me away from you.

I think you guys will like this. Tim Drake's fans, not so much.

I wasn't expecting this version to be in continuity with the UTRH film, what a pleasant surprise. Although I'm not a fan of the implications shown from what I assume is the "Batman save Robin" choice that means Jason will go down the path of villainy anyways. I hate when Jason gets pigeonholed on the "he was always bad" role.
Also, Ackles isn't returning to voice an adult Jason so unless is supposed to be a surprise reveal, that means we aren't getting new footage of Jason as Red Hood.
Just saw this in another thread, the excitement is real right now. They're bringing back the Under the Red Hood style and continuity for the Death in the Family movie? And they're going experimental with it by making it interactive? I didn't see that coming. I've had to have watched Under the Red Hood well over a hundred times! Getting this a decade later, I haven't been this excited for an animated DC film in years!
Ok, So... It's a prequel to the UtRH movie, right? Straight prequel to the animated adaptation, not an adaptation of the original ADitF comic. Which, in my book, it's pretty exciting, like CHOO CHOO ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN et cetera levels of exciting.
But it's also an alternate original story to the UtRH and Hush? Or... Whaaaat? Because, is that Jason using the Red Robin costume during the same scene he used the Red Hood costume in the original movie? Or is Tim? Is Tim timetraveling again, guys? Or Is Jason from an alternate timeline/universe? Whaaaaat?
I'm utterly confused right now.
Edit: the first one to wear that costume was Dick in an elseword. Then Jason in Countdown. Then Tim in Red Robin. Edit2: oh, right, that guy took it in between Tim and Jason. Edit3: wait wait wait. It's an interactive movie, like the Black Mirror one? Cool.
