DC Spin Master Heroes Unite - Superman

Back again with another DC Spin Master action figure! Today we take a look at Superman. Off the bat, you'll notice that this cardback doesn't feature the "1st Edition" stamping on the upper right hand corner. It seems like variants are a running theme with Spin Master. Even cardbacks get the random treatment.




I don't know about you guys but I'm not a big fan of how figures with capes are packaged. I always cut additional slits in the back to avoid damaging the cape when pulling It out of the packaging.


Spin Master keeps It cartoony with its line of figures. They are almost like big  Imaginext figures only with more realistic proportions.
  




Not an amazing figure but a very solid one!


I'm really enjoying these collectible cards. It's nice to be surprised with the cool action shots,
if you haven't already seen them in online reviews. 



Here we have the three included mystery accessories. A chest plate that when equipped makes Superman , SuperESTman! A head sculpt attachment heat ray effect and what looks to be some sort of  kryptonite shield  or It could just be one of  Doomsday's toenail clipping.  If I get around to acquiring a Lex Luthor from this line,I will equip him with it.





And yes, they are goofy looking af! But with Spin Master It's all about play factor!


It's Tactical Batman vs. YOWZERS Superman!




Here's a side by side comparison of Spin Master's Heroes Unite DC  Superman  and Mattel's DC Infinite Heroes Superman. Infinite Heroes Superman Is still my favorite of the two but Spin Master Supes ain't far behind.

    The accessories a bit much. The chest plate thing is sort of like Batman's helmet. It's overkill. But the figure itself looks really good. Maybe there's a Jimmy Olsen figure out there that you can strap on that chest plate, throw on Batman's helmet, and make him a super-duper hero.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
