(Batgirl) An age of innocence, of hope, of purity, an age bright as sterling silver. The Silver Age of Comics was all of these and more as we look back through time via old back issues and comic collections.

Wally doned a smaller duplicate of Barry's costume and became his young sidekick, Kid Flash! Having all of Barry's power, but less precise control over them, Kid Flash hopes to one day become as great as his mentor. Kid Flash comes as essentially a smaller clone of Barry Allen but with a slightly more bunched up appearance at the belt. The coloring is identical to Barry's. However, the paint it rather faded on the rear of his belt and looks kind of chipped at the chest symbol. This of course will very from figure to figure. Kid Flash has the same amount of articulation as Barry Allen, so what you can pull of with him, without modification, is pretty much...[See More]

Rated 5.00 stars by Collector1
(Supergirl and Streaky the Supercat) Celebrating an age of innocence, DC Direct brings us the two greatest heroes of the Silver Age of Comics and their loyal companions, Superboy and Supergirl! This reveiw will cover Supergirl and Streaky the Supercat. Supergirl stands just a quater of an inch shorter than Superboy and is sculpted by Tim Bruckner as well. The paint application is smooth and invoces a warm feeling when combined with Kara Zor-El's cute face. The blue skirt is a bit stiffer than the cape, but does not restrict leg articulation as much as I thought it would, though be careful as I've noticed some stress marks on the back of the skirt which could presumably tear. Supergirl has a good level of articulation at her ankles, knee's, hidden leg joints do to the skirt, waist,...[See More]
