MilburyAs of 2022 this is the best Parasite available for a 6-inch collection but the figure is not without his flaws. He has no foot pegs, a strange omission for a DC figure that makes it impossible to stand him on any peg base. He's also (imo) somewhat short for the character, standing at a mere 6.5 inches when fully erect. Put him next to one of the Metallos or especially one of the new DC MULTIVERSE figures and he just looks sad. On the plus side he captures the image of the post-Crisis Parasite perfectly and he's perfectly sized to menace the Superman of a 4-inch collection. All in all, he's a serviceable figure and worthy of a spot on any DC/Superman roster, even for those who wish he was bigger....[

BoredamnedLet's begin with a back story! (Optional read)
Once a year I was allowed a present for christmas under $10 (I know; we were poor). Until I was the age of 14. I bargained. No present for one year, and next year a $20 present. I went one Christmas without a present intent with one figure in mind!
DC SUPER HEROES STEEL! (3 months later my cousins thought it'd be cute to bathe him then put him in a sauna...the microwave)
I re bought him last year used. He was broken. Left arm in fact. Completely broken off the peg. S piece was off the chest as well (idk how). I did some light work on it.
My aunt in the Philippines was a huge superman fan. She got me into dc with my very first comic series! Death of superman. Doomsday. In this story line 4 people step up to the mantle after our brave...[

DraykHello everyone, this is my first time reviewing anything but I thought I'd give it a shot!
This figure was the one that I first started with after deciding to get all of Batman's rogue gallery. Mr Freeze has always been one of my favorite baddies even after less than grand movie. This guy is really cool(pun intended) though, solid and with big feet so I doubt you'll have trouble with him falling much.
Packaging-
I'm not really a person who cars too much about the packaging or keeping them in the package. One thing I'd like to note about this guy though is that he came with a small Batman Comic featuring Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Very cool in my opinion.
Sculpt-
Love the work on this guy, his suit's got a neat cybernetic look that's also big a clunky(But it works on him!). He has two...[

marvelselectIt's time for a daily review from my action figure vault. (Thank you again Figure Realm) Today we are looking at Scarecrow. Scarecrow here is actually a re-release of the Scarecrow from Mattel's Batman series. The sculpt is great, every stitch in his suit is detailed properly. One cool thing about the figure is that his hat is sculpted so that it hides part of his face if you are looking at him on a shelf. It gives him a mysterious look. The costume is what I consider to be his classic look, kind of like in the first episode where he appeared in Batman: the Animated Series. The master of fear here has a ball-in-socket head, pin-in-socket shoulders, swivel biceps, hinged elbows, swivel wrists, a really wired mid- stomach swivel, swivel wast, hinged and swivel (?)(the joint that lets you...[

TheGreyGooseDa na na na na na na na da na na na na na na na BATMAN!!!! I've always wanted to do that on the internet. Anyway, this Batman figure is amazing. It is definitely the definitive Batman, which if your not too smart means the perfect one, the one you should have, the best one that captures the Dark Knight in the perfect costume, face, etc. My favorite part of the figure is, um, oh what the heck, I love the entire thing! Now, you're probably wondering why this thing got a 4.99 instead of a 5? Well, it's sculpt perfectly captures the Bat, the belt is great for keeping around Bat figure improvement, the cape is perfectly sculpted and is light enough so he can stand without leaning forward, and it's paint apps look great, BUT it has THE LIPS OF MICHAEL JACKSON AHHHHHH....THE WHITE ONE...[

pock63The first thing I want to say about this figure is WOW! This figure is one of the best in my collection. Thsi figure has all the basic DC Universe joints. His schulpt is great.
The paint job could be better but the lack of shading doesn't hurt him much. One of the things wich makes this figure great is the cape! He has a thick flowing rubber cape much better thatn the one that came with Super Man. If you are loocking to buy this figure that by all means do! If youre not loocking to buy this figure I still say by all means do because you will loveit!...[

pock63The sculpt on this figure is great! That is the reason I was willing to spend $20. on it. When I got it I wasn't disapointed! It lived up all my exspectations. The paint is great also. The only thing I don't like about this figure is the way they made his shoulders. They didn't make the sockets big unof. This restricts the movement of the arms. Apart from that I think this figure was worth the money and will be a goold adition to youre collection....[

pock63This figure has a goold schulpt. The paint job is decent but coold be better. The worst thing about this figure is that from the moment I bought it the joints have been loose. I don't mean just a litle loose I meane a lot! I half to prop him up on his cape to kepe him from slumping over! If this doesn't bother you than I think this figure would go nicely next to youre Supre Man....[

AzraelDC Super Heroes (Mattel) - Series 3
Rated
3.50 stars by
TheGreyGooseAzrael is a great character, and the thigns he went through were pretty killer, but I'm saddened with how few action figures he has. As Azrael he only has 2. The annoyingly terrible Knight Force Ninjas one, and the DC Universe Classics one. I've got to say this figure is pretty expensive, and it's easily debatable whether or not he's worth it. His articulation, paint apps, and sculpt are all great, in fact, they're phenominal, but the little problems end up being pretty big. The fact that he's always hunching makes him look kind of weird, and you have to move his torso up, then move the upper half of his body abck to get him to look up, then you have to find a way to balance him. Also, his legs are sort of curved, so he always looks like he's leaning to fall over. The final problem is...[

Henchmen4HireCyber-Luthor is about 6.2 inches tall, and surprisingly, he has an orginal body sculpt, not just a stolen suit from Mr Freeze. Well, the legs are mostly the same with a few modifications, but with all the added articulation! Even the elbows bend now and there's no stupid neck-turning gimmick. Honestly, I don't ever remember seeing Luthor wear this crazy thing in the comics, I guess I'm not old enough, but I still would have bought this figure based on the design alone, it's very Apokaliptic. Everything about the suit is intricately sculpted, there are nuts and rivets and circuitry everywhere, even the skirt is eye-popping. It does restrict movement, but if you use a razor to make strategic slits along major grooves, you can make the skirt more flexible and free the legs without ruining...[
