Doomsday
DC Comics Multiverse (Mattel) - New 52 Doomsday
Rated 2.00 stars by Milbury
Much like the New 52 reboot the character comes from, this Doomsday figure can best be summed up as a failed experiment. At eight and a half inches tall Doomsday at least has a bit of height, but even as a BAF the figure will still stand in the shadow of Mattel's two Signature Collection Doomsdays. Unusually for a Marvel Legends era figure, New 52 Doomsday also has a very cartoony, and apologies, but just downright cheaply made appearance that makes it look more like Fisher Price Doomsday than any sort of worthy addition to a collector's case. Even if you're a fan of this incarnation of Doomsday specifically, the 2020 Storm Collectibles figure does the look more justice. So unless you find him at a real steal, pass on this Doomsday and go for the two Signature Collection Doomsdays or the...[See More]

Red Robin
DC Comics Multiverse (Mattel) - Killer Croc Series
Rated 4.00 stars by Milbury
Red Robin is one of those Goldilocks characters who to this day has never been done true justice but this is probably the best version of the character for fans of his Tim Drake incarnation (KC fans should get the DCUC version, obviously). At an even 6 and a half inches he's just a smidgen too tall for Tim but is much more satisfactory for 6 inch scale collections than the inexplicably tall New 52 version. His costume is inspired by the tepid DC Rebirth, but is close enough to the classic outfit to pass muster for more oldschool fans. Articulation is excellent, as is the case for most of the other figures from this line. His accessories include the requisite bo staff (which thankfully isn't bendy as accessories of this type are prone to being) and the usual pair of alternate hands. With...[See More]

Batman (Zero Year)
DC Comics Multiverse (Mattel) - Justice Buster
Rated 4.00 stars by Henchmen4Hire
Been a few years since I've gotten a Batman figure, or any recent DC figure at all for that matter, so I thought this would be a good figure to gauge how DC's ho-hum 6-inch figs have degenerated or improved since (or, as some may say, how much more or less cynical my reviews have gotten lel). This Zero Year suit isn't bad-looking, I'm just not into it. The only reason I got this figure is because it came as a package deal with something else, but it's grown on me, like a tasty fungus. Yanking the figure out of the package, I'm impressed by its heft and size, it almost feels as solid as a DC Direct offering. The figure is about 6.75 inches tall (more if you count the ear-spikes), so it's probably as big or bigger than the Capullo Designer Series counterpart, which is not 6-inch scale. As...[See More]
