2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

 Is it Manbat or Man-Bat? Either way, this Is a great looking action figure! Lets take a look at the packaging. Here's Man-Bat sans wings.  I guess they counted his wings as the third accessory because this time around you only get his orange claws and a blaster . Card backgrounds are relative to the mission . The first card Is the Harbor Defender mission and the second is the Sky Detective mission.  Just a couple of fun pics I took with some added help from my daughter who supplied me with some cool LED's !   

I broke down and picked up a Flash figure online. It was the one figure I felt I had to add to my DC Heroes Unite collection before moving on to the filler figures. He's not even one of my favs from the line but a must have If you want a decent Justice League group display. On a side note, this Is the first Flash figure to make an appearance on this or any other toy blog I've ever ran In the past. The paint used on some of the brighter figures In this line is very glossy. It comes across great in-hand but it can be a pain to take pictures without a shiny glare. Ironically, I took these shots of  Flash without flash.    He's a nice looking figure. A bit more muscular than I would have liked for a Flash figure but It's not so bad.   It's all becoming clearer to me now. I suspected that his action shot would be the same as Cyborgs seeing as how they are depicted together.  It's the backgrounds that change according to the mission...

Today we take a look at Shazam!  I got lucky with the paint apps on this one. Everything Is pretty clean on this figure. Not hard to tell who this locker belongs too. 'Hello!Anybody home!?!" I'm guessing that first mystery accessory Is supposed to be Shazam! as a kid? Before the transformation? Then we have the bent piece of scrap metal and an energy/lightning effect.  My theory on being able to adjoin the collectible cards was an incorrect one. Here we have a totally different background from the Superman and Cyborg cards . Shazam! standing next to who I can only assume Is Billy Batson. I really like the energy effect. It fits, with a peg, into Shazam's hand but looks natural when equipped. And the obligatory piece of warped scrapped metal that figures like Hulk, Superman and Thing always seem to include. A nice, clean cut cape! It's kind of hard to describe the fabric, though. It's cloth bu...

Every time I crack open another 4" DC Spin Master  figure, I learn something new or notice something different about It. I'm not sure If the cardback variations, though subtle, are done on purpose or If It was just a blunder on their part. Either way I kind of like It. As you can see, unlike the Superman cardback, this one sports the 1st Edition foil stamp on the upper right hand corner of the packaging. Also, I really like how they place character specific logo/insignia right underneath the figure. As we turn the package around, you'll notice the image of the actual figure along with the 4 possible missions you could receive. Not all Spin Master packaging Is the same. Sometimes you'll have a digitally rendered picture of the character or no picture of the character at all, just the 4 missions. This could all be wave specific ,though. If anybody knows more about this than I do, please fill us In down In the comment section.    Ahhh, no cape! Finally a fig...
