Editorial Review

A sturdy home away from home for Superman, Wonder Woman, and other superheroes, this sprawling command tower sports battle-alert bells, a mobile elevator, and a rooftop combat station armed with a missile launcher. A trip wire on one platform and a trap door in another ensnare unsuspecting enemies, while your favorite Justice League action figure runs the whole operation from the bridge. Flipping a lever folds the tower shut, revealing only a steely exterior. There's also a shuttle craft that docks near the base and fires its own projectiles. The tower stands 21 inches and runs on three AA batteries, not included. Action figures are sold separately. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Excellent!
We ordered Superman & Batman Large Figures.
Excellent condition at a very good price.

Looks great
The great thing about this toy is that it looks awesome in packaging and is therefore great for displaying. It is an exact replica of the Superman from the JLA animated series. Another high point is that it is relatively inexpensive in comparison to the seriously overpriced Maquettes.

But the bad thing about it is that, for an action figure it has severly limited articulation. The arms and the neck move and that's basically it. But even more than that is that, it's near impossible to display this out of the box due to its seriously disproportionate upper body and lower body.

But if you are buying for a kid like my six-year old cousin who is a big fan of the JLA you won't care about any of those articulation or display complaints. They'll just be ecstatic having the toy in their hands. I also bought one but I am happy displaying it in the box. In my opinion, it's a pretty decent toy for kids and collectors.

Great, but only the guys? Where are WW and HG?
Great, kids will love this. It will be excellent for Xmas.

BUT WHERE ARE WONDER WOMAN AND HAWKGIRL?
Sheesh.

Excellet Art Deco replica of JLA on Cartoon channel
I have Green Lantern, Flash and Supe. Supe is particularly nice with the cape.

All 3 are excellent replicas of the marquettes from the JLA cartoon series. I will likely get Batman to complete the set since I have been so pleased with the 3 already.
Great substitute if you don't want to spend an insane amount of money on the marquettes. ... Read more

Its Ok.
It is a flash figure. Until DC Comics and Mattel decide to do something along the lines of DC Legends, similar to Toy Biz' Marvel Legends, we have to be thankful for ANYTHING that comes out.

Unfortunately, however, there is no detail to this line of figures. The bright side is, they do resemble the animated series, in that it is as 2 dimensional, as a drawing.

Nevertheless, since there seems to be a lack of variety in the DC world for reasonablly priced superhero figures, some accolades and applause is deservant for Mattel. We can only hope they drastically improve on the design quality; and, thank them for not gouging us on this line. A much better value than the 4 inch versions.

Where's Green Lantern?
I think these large Justice League figures are great. I personally am not disappointed in the lack of articulation (joints where the figure's limbs can move), since I'm getting these for my very young son, and he doesn't care. Besides, these figures are done in the highly simplified "cartoon" style, which to me indicates that they'd naturally be less intricate mechanically. My GRIPE is that many of these toys are not shipped in equal quantities, so there are fewer of one than the others. I've seen tons of Batman figures, but not one Green Lantern, for instance. Many of these scarcer figures are horded by collectors/dealers, leaving people like me who actually want to buy them for their children with an incomplete set. It's sad this is the way the toy business works at times. STILL, these are great toys--very iconic, very well designed.

Great for collectors
If you can't afford the $... maquette, this is great substitute.
I say it's great for collectors becoz there are few points of articulation so it looks more like a statue than a toy.

Only cons is that the botton half of flash is a slightly different red than from the top. This is no noticeable from a distance though.

Morphing the Justice League !
WOW ! 10" of the Flash. These large Justice League figures are great for both the collector and for younger kids who can appreciate more figure to hold onto. As with all the Mattel DC Superhero figures released this year I cannot emphasize enough that all the figures need more articulation ! We know it can be done (see the Marvel Legends series figures). Honestly, at the price points these figures are at we as consumers are justified in expecting the much needed articulation. The figures are well done....Please give us figures which can be played with in the positions they are depicted in when they are in action !

FLASH!!!
This toy is so cool that kids should use it as a collectors item. ... Read more

Should be a display toy
My 4 year old loves action figures. He plays rough, and he uses his toy a lot. This action figure should have been sturdy and durable, considering its size. It broke in half within a month. He didn't drop it. It broke by use. The toy could move at the waist, side to side. Then one day it snapped in half at the waist. I would not recommend this for young children that could hurt themselves with it.

The Justice League lives at our house!
My son received this and several of the other Justice League members for his fourth birthday. He was ecstatic and let out a squeal of delight as he opened each one! He has put them in a "special place" in his room and gets them down each morning. As a mother, I think they are a lot of fun for a child. The more I get to know about these action figures, the more I realize how many adults collect them. I can understand how some opinions may be more critical than others(and much more educated than others). As a mom of a happy little boy, I give them 5 stars! My son's eyes were sure shining as he unveiled each of his Justice League buddies!

It's Ok.
The good thing about this figure is, it is a new Batman, sort of. The bad is, we've seen this before. Basically, it's the smaller JL Batman on some serious steroids.

It lacks detail, articulation, and creativity. It looks more 2 dimensional than the cartoon itself! The paint job is horrific on many of the figures. This is definately a series you will want to hand pick yourself, so you don't get stuck with figures with a bad paint job.

A Falling Tree
Initally, I rated this toy with 4 stars. I was quite happy with it, even displaing it while in it's packaging. Unfortunately, I had never seen the figure opened until I saw the kid of one of my friends play with an opened batman. The figure, due to it's unproportioned body (a big upper body and small feet)was unable to stand for a long period of time. It is however a great educational toy for kids. But if your a collector and planning to display the whole set, you might as well leave it in it's box. ... Read more

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.
