WAVE 3 FLASH review

[MIB41]

Just received this in the mail today and I've got to say this is the best figure thus far in the 14 inch lot.

For starters, he looks really good as presented in his box.

You will note his accessory, located on the bottom side of the insert, is a plastic replica of his logo. Sorry I didn't get a close up, but it is what you see.

The body on this one is very good. The floppiness in the waist is gone (completely). All the limbs are tight and he stands effortlessly.

The costume is well fitting with the standard Velcro on the back.

And as always the head sculpt is magic. Andy if this is yours, buddy you nailed it again. Classic.

And if you were wondering if they would give him tread, the answer is a resounding YES! Nice work guys.

And here's the primary artwork for the packaging...

Most definitely a welcome addition to my collection, since I'm a huge Flash fan. Mego did not disappoint in execution or design. Well done to everyone on the team!

Thanks for the review! The Flash looks great!

[PNGwynne]

That is a stellar figure. Love the unique boots.

[comicmike]

Yay.... *everything* is truly perfect. All of it.

[pmwasson]

Very cool! That is the only 14" figure I'm missing.

[supes]

He is perfect! Can't wait to get him!!

Thanks for this review, Tom. It’s my first time seeing this figure. Man, it’s amazing! He really looks unbelievably good.

Flash is looking awesome, I'm not into the 14" figures, but I might give in with both Superman and Flash.

[rodkeith]

He looks fantastic. Love the detail of the boots. Can't wait to get him (whenever that happens).

If I had one question, and it doesn't really bother me because I open these things, but I wonder why they've used New 52 or Rebirth versions on the packaging, when they're clearly 'classic' in design on the inside? Surely there is enough Garcia-Lopez art out there for the licensors to use the iconic versions.

I noticed that too...the lack of yellow lines is actually welcomed. I kind of get why the lines are there... The idea that the look of the character needs to be refreshed... The idea that more details make it look more real... Still prefer the clean smooth look of the 70s outfits.

i think its the reflections in the foil edition sticker that looks like a christmas tree to me ,that and the subtle red and green motif that pops up in your pictures ,the bare feet the packaging, the fire place , just has a christmas morning feel to me
hope we all get one under our trees this year

Now this is more like it! That figure is PERFECT, and I'll definitely pick him up. I know my recent criticisms may come off as negative to some, but I'm more than happy to give praise in equal amounts when it's earned.

Well done MEGO!

[EMCE Hammer]

They Mary Poppins'ed it. I am really impressed that they tooled the unique boot for him.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Great review Tom! I'm definitely in on this one for sure! Great job Mego!

I’m 100% with you on that! I’ve never liked the fact that the powers that be, now, always feel the need to “update” all of the superhero costumes. I think I’m in the minority with that sentiment, but the updates always take some of the fun out of it for me. It’s gotten to the point where many of the superheroes are nearly unrecognizable to me; because of that I don’t have an interest in seeing those particular superhero movies.
