Martain Manhunter review

[Earth 2 Chris]

He turned out nice! I think it was a great move to separate the straps and shorts from the body suit. I do think he looks better with the suit though. Looks like they managed to match the plastic and cloth greens well. Flash's reds didn't match to well.

I'll admit, I'm a bit dubious on the other three in this wave. No offense, but Captain Marvel's face looks a bit goofy to me, and Black Adam had giraffe neck in the prototype pics. And then there's stuffed Darkseid. But I'm willing to keep an open mind.

I'm convinced Bob McLeod is doing artwork for Mattel on these (and the MOTU/DCUC figures). That Black Adam is definitely his work. At least his inks. He tends to overpower a lot of pencilers.

how about a picture of him nekkid so we can see the updated body?

Thanks for posting the review! What a great thing to wake up and read. I have my set on order from BBTS and of all the waves, this may be the one I am most excited about. There is just something about Shazam...probably all those Saturday morning Jackson Bostwick shows and tying a old yellow towel around my neck. I bet my mom can still hear me yelling "Shazam"!

Now the wait begins

In my opinion he's the coolest RA that's been released yet. He looks great.

As much as I like my Supes, Bats and A-man, I wish they weren't so floppy. I wish we could just send them back to Mattel in exchange for new ones.

Me, too!

I wonder if there is a factory part we could put in there to fix the bodies.

Great review! Thanks for the pics!! Wave 4 is showing the same promise that Wave 3 gave us. Now we're just waiting to see what Shazam looks like in finalized form.

Does anyone know if Mattel will re-produce the Waves 1 & 2? As much as I like my Supes, Bats and A-man, I wish they weren't so floppy. I wish we could just send them back to Mattel in exchange for new ones.

man, he looks cool.

[MLoudin]

Cool Figure, thanks for the review!!!

[huedell]

Altho, the seperate briefs and gold buckle are bad ideas IMHO, it's still
a pretty cool fig... thanks for the review!

[Goblin19]

That looks great. This is the figure, along with Flash, that I most looked forward to. I just ordered a set from Entertainment Earth. Can't wait.

They made a great choice by giving him a separate suit. Very retro and it makes for an easy transition for a Mattel-->Mego Manhunter.

[LOU]

OH YES! He will be mine! That's a sweet figure and packaging! Love it!

[pmwasson]

I just realized that the green suit is separate so people can decide if they would rather have the body suit or not!



I think he looks better with the body suit on, but its great that Mattel is giving us the choice.

[THE FALCON]

Glad to hear about the improved body. Can't wait to get me a Martian Manhunter.
