AzraelAlright, I guess I get the privilege of being the first to review this. First elt me jsut say thank you to Mattel for honoring my requests for a Deathstroke, now just put out Jean Paul valley Azrael and I'm rpetty sure we're set. If you do I'll buy 100 Infintie Heroes as a thank you. Moving on, Deathstroke is a consistently good character in comics, and it's fun to watch him bring beating after beating to generation after generation of Titans, Teen Titans, and on occasion the Justice League. Sadly, he doesn't have a lot of figures. On a related note, he doesn't have a lot of commic accurate figures, which this certainly doesn't help. Let me start with the reasons this isn't a 5. He's blue and silver,a s opposed to dark blue and light blue on the scales. I dunno, I guess it looks kind of...[

Hush (Masked)DC Infinite Heroes (Mattel) - Wave 1

AzraelAlright, so I've always sort of liked Hush, and I know that the only other figure of him is... well... the HUSH one. Anyway, Hush is a unique Infinite heroes mold, trench coat, new sleeves, and a unique body that'd be hard to re use, so for now, Hush is the most unique Infinite Hero out there. I picked him up purely because I wanted to bulk up my 1:18 DC collection and needed some villains at the same time. His paint apps are good, and while he can't pull off many dynamic poses, I've never seen Hush be very dynamic anyway, so no harm no foul. One of the few tings I don't like about Hush is that his pupils are visible, I've always prefered when characters have blank white eyes, but like the poor articulation, I can get past this. I dunno, I guess with a 1:18 standard, just like every other...[

TheGreyGooseAll right, so so far, the Infinite Heroes line has failed to impress me all that much, with the exception of a select few. Unfortunately for me, and others who may or may not like her, Black Canary continues this trend of mediocrity. While unlike other figures, her torso can rotate, her waist can't. Her legs do that weird thing where they turn diagonally so it's pretty difficult to pose her any other way than just standing up. To make things worse, her shoulders aren't ball jointed, I guess it's so her jacket can look better, and for some unexplainable, inexcusable reason, her arms don't bend. Like most Infintie Heroes her paint apps differ from figure to figure, but the one I have has pretty shoddy paint, and I think I could probably do better myself. Her face looks, well, her face looks...[

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)DC Infinite Heroes (Mattel) - Wave 4

TheGreyGooseWell, in an attempt to bulk up my flimsy DC (I should really say Batman) collection, I bought some non-Batman Infinite Heroes, and with them only going for a dollar at Ross (5 for 3 packs) I knew where to get them. Well, Hal Jordan, being my favorite Green Lantern, was a must have for me, now I've only bought one Infinite Hero before, but I knew what to expect. The paint apps are slightly sloppy, but less so than with MUs, even though the articulation isn't as impressive. He reuses the same body everyone has, to the point where his ring is painted on. But even with all this mediocrity, Hal Jordan makes for a pretty good Green Lantern fig. He can pull off some pretty decent Green Lantern-esque poses, and for what I paid for him, I really can't complain. But the bottom line is, that while...[

Green ArrowDC Infinite Heroes (Mattel) - Wave 4

TheGreyGooseGreen Arrow isn't my favorite character, but it's not like I don't like him, however, Green Arrow is probably the best Infinite Hero I've bought so far. He has an original sculpt, instead of the same reused one with few sculpted materials, and unlike evry Infinite Hero I've ever seen, He has an accesory, his bow, but thena gain, you'd expect himt o come with it, because if you didn't it just wouldn't be Green Arrow. His articvulation is the standard for DC Infinite Heroes. Ball jointed shoulders, swivel waist, double hitched knees, but sadly, the legs only go about 90 degrees. My main complaint about this figure is that his bow doesn't stay in his hand very well, but like most problems of that kind, it can be solved with a simple elastic. my other complaint is that even though he has an...[

Vash_15I always see Infinite Heroes wherever I go to buy toys, and I always pass them up, yes they're in perfect scale with my Marvel Universe figs, but while Marvel gives you characters you know and characters you don't, DC gives you characters you don't know and characters you don't like. So one day I'm at Walmart, and I spot a Batman, "Oh my God!" I quickly bought him and stood him up next to my Deadpool, and while it was great, it wasn't as great as the Marvel Universe figs. The sculpt is good, the paint apps are better than the MU figs, and while the articulation isn't as good as Marvel Universe, it's pretty decent. Sadly, there's no playability! Now playability isn't what I want in a figure, I normally just stand them up in a line next to each other, but that doesn't mean I don't look for...[
