This 2-pack is long awaited, at least the Barry Allen was.
After being passed over in the last few DC lines, we finally have the
first silver age Flash since Super Powers. And it was well worth the wait;
this is probably one of the most perfect figures DCD has unveiled yet.
A big improvement over the prototype, this figure is near perfect with
ball-jointed shoulders and a new unique ball jointed neck. Some folks
have missed the ankle joints, but since they tend to weaken I'm happy
they were left off. Wally is another fantastic surprise. Many people,
me included, were not too thrilled with the inclusion of the young Wally
in this pack, but this sculpt is incredibly nice. This is definitely a
case of the sculpt alone making this figure worth having. I especially
love his scale; if all DCD were this size I would have no hesitation about
buying every single one. As if those figures weren't enough, we also get
the Cosmic Treadmill that allowed the Flash to travel through time. It
has no working parts, but does include a leg bracket that lets you pose
the figure as if he was running. And that's not all! We also get a replica
of the Flash's ring, with has a hidden compartment for his compressed
costume. One of the things I'm most impressed about is that they finally
have started crediting the sculptor on the package. Kudos, Tim Bruckner!
Kudos, DC Direct! |
