Despero (Collect & Connect)
DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 4
Rated 3.00 stars by GeekSummit
Ah the BAF.... Mattel... Mattel, Mattel, Mattel..... You give someone a reason to go out and spend up to what $80 on pulling a series of these together and you give us the opposite of consumer satisfaction. Mattel... Mattel, Mattel, Mattel..... I get home with my 2 foot stack of spastic plastic and bust open the cards and pull all my new friends out and pull together my new Jumbo figure Despero. Mattel... Mattel, Mattel, Mattel..... Two left legs below the knee. Mattel... Mattel, Mattel, Mattel..... I'm gonna learn a lesson from this adventure... I always try to make sure I am taking home the cream of the crop when I'm selecting my crew to fill my shelf but in these funny times of get'em or forget it demand over supply... I just bite. So in the scarcity of Batman beyond this first...[See More]

Cyborg (Pincher Claw)
DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 4
Rated 5.00 stars by GeekSummit
I have not seen so much of an issue with our silver Brother here. The lines are nice and straight, the tone is nice. The head is not just a reworked Steel head. Lots of things I had expected to see were not there. I dig this figure VERY much and hope they continue to run through my SUPER POWERS collection and fill my office shelves with Plastic Bad Boys like these....[See More]

Captain Atom (Silver)
DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 4
Rated 3.00 stars by GeekSummit
This one really pushed me over. I had waited and waited for this to hit the shelves.. so I struck the Targets seeking this series out. Captain Atom was amongst the hardest to tackle it seemed. I finally pick on up and something just wasn't right. Of course we've all seen these figures slung into their plastic trays in ways that push limbs this way ans that. But what I saw today for a first rushed run of what should be the best figure series anyone has seen since 1984 made me want to rip my face off. I think Mattel needs to worry less about deadlines and junk and more about pushing their products out as if they were products. Knee joints incompletely manufactured!!!! Elbows incompletely joined!!!! Ankles undone in the package!!! Two right arms!!!! Arms completely on the wrong socket!!!!...[See More]

Batman Beyond (Masked)
DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 4
Rated 5.00 stars by GeekSummit
I found this figure to be unique for sure. this is the first I've seen of the DCU DCSH figures to have a completely glossed paint job. I was worried about this since we all know gloss paint has a tendency to feel as wet as it looks. HOO-RA in this column. I have noticed on the few versions I have seen that the flagship detail, the red bat tends to come off a little flaky... is not cool. this will be the rarer of wave 4 as it has only slipped through in some spots that received revision 1 instead of wave 4/1, or at least that's how it was told to me. Any how there is not much to say about this figure. It has all the moxie you can ask for from a character that hasn't been sculpted in the near real realm as of yet. I say give it a 10 if I could....[See More]

Ares
DC Universe Classics (Mattel) - Wave 4
Rated 5.00 stars by GeekSummit
Ares.... going in alphabetical order probably the finest figure in the series though obscure to my DC repertoire. The pitted chased armor and the super detailed armor on the arms and legs makes this the top dog in Wave 4. As much work that went into this incarnation, it would be pretty hard to screw up. I say Kudos to Mattel and the 4 horsemen on the detail and concentration that obviously went into this figure.. hold on to your hats though, its gonna get ugly once I start getting into the rest of what I have found so far with Wave 4.... whew-E its gonna be a roaster....[See More]
