Spectre (Glow in the Dark Skin)DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 12
Rated
5.00 stars by
playercustomsFirst I would like to mention that spectre is a member of wave 12,not wave 11.I've just recieved a package from a website consisting of 2 spectres ,2 mary marvels and 1 Dr.mid-nite.All from wave 12.Anyway ,the first figure I opened was the glow in the dark spectre,the one I am most thrilled for.I immediatly tested the glow in the dark feature and It really worked.It does glow in the dark! However,you need to pay the price -----the detail.There is no detail on this variant,no shading no color variation no everything.It's your choice wheter you are willing to pay the price.I sure am.(cause I bought 2!)The sculpt on the cape is briliant.It has tons of details all over the cape.The buttons,the hoos are sculpted nicely.He also has new sculpted hands.They are open and are like casting spells on...[

Superman (Black Suit)DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 6
Rated
4.00 stars by
playercustomsI was hesitating wheter to buy this figure because I was not a big fan of the return of superman storyline.But after picking up the whole wave.Every figure was awesome,so I went back and picked him up.He was okay.Not a excellent figure but not a below standard figur.He does not have a lot of new parts,notably his head and bracelets.The head is sculpted very nicely ,thiugh it restrictes the head articulation.I wished that this figure could have been given an open hand and been given some accesories.Some bullet paches or at least some guns would have helped.After all,he's ""be prepared""(if you read the comic book you would know).Wheter to buy this figure? If you are a superman fan you would.I prefer the variant version compared to this one....[

Dr. Fate (Modern)DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 8
Rated
4.70 stars by
playercustomsI like Dr,fate.I've always liked him during the JLU show .So I'm happy he's finally shown up in the DCUC libe.They released 2 versions of this charcter.The classic and the modern .This review is on the modern.This is actually the hctor hall version the succesor the kent nelson.but we won'tget to that let's get to this figure.
The main problem with this figure is the paint.the gold works nice.The yellow works nice.But together? not so good.... All gold would have worked a lot better at least that's what I think.Other that that,Faboulous figure.The helmet is nice,and He sports a new cape thn the classic Dr.fate.Brilliant figure,which one to buy.This one,It just looks way coller.With so many customizers here,just paint the yellow parts gold....[

Chemo (Collect & Connect)DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 9
Rated
4.00 stars by
playercustomsI've just completed chemo!After visiting my local comics shop I came out with the entire wave9,wave 8and wave 7.Hapy weekend!Chemo's sculpt is a piece of beauty,the bubbles and gauntlets are done expertly by the four horsemen.Well done on that! the tubes on chemo's back connect to his arms .nice touch on that!The body is transparent so it gives a bubbly fell to it. The articulation on chemo is below standard (even for a DC direct) No head,torso,in and out legs.The upper and lower half also keep seperating from each other.This causes a problem during playing but won't cause to much fuss on the shelf.Overall, Chemo is a pretty nice figure. He's more or less the same height as giganta,the tallest C&C figure.He's not worth 50 bucks or 60.But for a strong wave like this.Chemo is a plesant...[

Superman BlueDC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 2
Rated
5.00 stars by
playercustomsFirst of all,A very very nice figure.I like the headsculpt a lot.He has a calm and rational face(which he should have) well done on that,four horsemen!He features thye exact same buck for all DCUC figures.But has a lightning molded onto his back.They are not removable(unless you put strengh)and it's fine with me.The energy blasts that come from his hand,though is removable and I cannot get it back on.That's the only problem I have.The paint on my figure is fine but I heard some collectors have their superman's white sratched of.Definetly check before you buy....[

Superman Red (Chase)DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 2
Rated
4.00 stars by
playercustomssuperman red is a pretty coll figure.his sculpt is actually different than superman blue.his head has a meaner hed sculpt,which fits the charcter very well.The articulation is standard for a DCUC figure.No frozen or broken joints.The one problem I have (which the blue one has also) is the energy blasts which shoul be fastened to his hand cannot fit on his hand,It keeps falling off and I can't get it on.Besides that,brillant figure.I still prefer the blue one though,because the ble is the main focus during the storyline....[

Another problem is that my wildcat" s legs broke off right out of pack. Definetly buy the blue one. Aside from the broken leg. Articulation is the same....[

Superman vs. Brainiac: Clash in the CosmosDC Universe Classics (Mattel) - 2-Packs
Rated
3.00 stars by
playercustomsOkay.probaly the 2-pack not to get.The superman is complete reuse.The head is from eradicator from wave 5.The body is from superman from wave 6.It's not bad.....but mattel could certainly give us omething new.the brainiac sculpt feature some new elements.notalbly the head,collar and that's it. The sculpt on the head is pretty good .has a calm face as brainiac always has.The main problem certainly is the paint.The shirt has different purple on it.What a disaster! Overll, both figures have standard range of movement and if youwant a classic brainiac all so badly.By the brainac loose on evilbay and repaint him yourself.The superman is pass unless you are a die hard superman fan and you musthave one with heatvision eyes...[

Rated
4.70 stars by
playercustomsoh yes! a figure of vigilante.My second favourite charcter of the comics (behind batman,of course)so I'm pretty thrilled to finallygeta figure of him.The sculpt reuses most of dc males but one thing this figure wins iver all the figures ( he's still behind deathstroke) ACCESORIES ! he' got a two mini guns and a rifle.Absoulutly awesome! all fit quite well intohis hands and holsters.He comes with a giganta piece .A must have forme but you might still want to save this guy from being a pegwarmer just to give punisher more weapons!...[
