Repaints - already?
It's a bad sign that the second Superman figure released by Mattel is nothing more than a repaint of one issued only weeks before. That first figure, which I call "true blue Superman," was accurate to his look in the first season of the "Justice League" TV series, and had Supes in his trademark blue costume. This version (let's call him "blackout Superman") is the same toy, only with his suit black instead of blue, and his 'S' chest symbol red on a black background instead of red on yellow. Blackout Superman offers no new accesories, and no special features. The only reasons I can see for buying this are that you can't find the "true blue" version, or are one of those obsessive collectors who HAVE to have every version of every toy (I'm not one of them). A better deal: get the Justice League's Javelin 7 spacecraft, which has electronic features, AND a True Blue Superman figure free!

Can We NAME Our Variants, Please?
This is a beautiful variant of the regular Superman action figure (a loose term, as there are few points of articulation), but I have just one question. Is this the Superman with black symbol as he currently appears in the books, or is it a Kingdom Come version of Supes?
Try naming your variants for the fans, Mattel.

Meet the new Angel of Death, the Saint of Killers
The Angel of Death gave him his job and sent him from Hell to find Jesse Custer and Genesis (not to mention the McCready gang that killed him and his wife), so just stay out of his way or you will end up dead. It is that simple. The Saint of Killers Action Figure from DC Direct presents the accursed lawman from the "Preacher" comic book series. This figure came out at the same time as the final "Preacher" storyline, "Alamo." The figure is just over 6 inches tall and features six points of articulation. The hat is removable but the holster is not. Saint of Killer can use either his six-shooter or a rifle. The orange outfit is just a bit too bright for my tastes but they did a nice job on the head. Like most of the DC Direct line Saint of Killers works a lot better as a display figure than an actual toy. Other "Preacher" figures from DC Direct include Jesse Custer, Cassidy, and Tulip. For fans of that particular series, these are are average figures to have up on your shelf. ... Read more

Batman in black
This action figure is really fantastic, the mixture of silver and black makes Batman look totally awsome and intimidateing. He has five points of articulation and will not break unless you really put some force into it. The only problem with this toy is the body poportion (his legs look pathetic compared to his overly musclular upper body) and the way the main frame is like all the other JL figures other than these minor flaws this figure will please any Batman lover.

Looks nice but utterly a disapointment
Just like it's blue counterpart, the Black/Silver Batman looks immpresive in it's carded box with the trading card and stand inside. But after a couple of hours of displaying the figure on it's stand, Batman started to lean forward as it's legs weren't able to support the figures upper body weight. (When you really look at it, the weight of all the JLA figures with the exception of the new Lex Luthor in the Superman/Lex 2-Pack aren't distributed equally as it's base, the legs, are so small while their upper body looks like they spent weeks in the gym) If your a collector and you want to display the figures, do so without using the stands, they are practically useless in the long run. I suggest that you just leave them inside their packagings. They look better that way. As for the kids who want to play with this figure. It's a great buy as it looks just like what they see on television and that is certainly something that will spark their imagination.

The Dark Knight Never Looked So Good.
I never could figure out why Batman used to run around in grey and blue outfits. When the animated series switched to grey and black, that made more sense. But a jet black Batman with silver highlights...it's just too sweet for words.

Get alot
Stack up on all these JL figures while you can. Especially since alot of these offered by amazon are first productions which are gonna be rare(they have 2nd for Martian manhunter though but first for batman and superman variants and WW). ... Read more

Come on--ya know ya want it!
Do you remember tying a bath towel around your neck and jumping on the couch playing G-Force with your little brother? Well, now you can do it without the towel and without ruining the couch. (This matters because we're now the ones buying and cleaning the furniture...) As a confirmed G-Force fan, I have to admit to having the entire run of these action figures, and they're great. The details are terrific, right down to the facial features (they don't have generic action-figure faces--the BotP cast actually looks like themselves. And Keyop is very difficult to get right because of how cartoonish he is in the show--but they did him fine.) The figure is nice and solid in your hands, and when posed, it stands just fine by itself. Seriously, pick this one up. It's a fun trip down nostalgia lane. ... Read more

Kltlpzyxm!
Superman's wacky enemy, Mr. Mxyzpltlk, makes for a great stuffy doll. The mischievous little imp from the 5th Dimension always makes for an interesting issue of Action Comics or Superman.

This is the Silver Age version, or Earth 1 if you prefer. Because of his diminutive nature and silly ways, he is perfect for transition to stuffed doll form. Perhaps it is a trap played by the imp himself, to disguise himself as a harmless child's toy!

Great companion to Bat-Mite. Good for kids to play with too. ... Read more
