Next up in our week of DC galleries is S.H. Figuarts Superman from the Justice League series.  Supes comes packed with an extra head, 3 sets of hands and a fabric wired cape.  Paint application on the suit uses a metallic sheen and the face uses digital printing for the fine details.  Sculpt overall is solid with articulation hitting all the major points. The head can sit on the neck a bit weird unless you focus your posing, but once nailed is just fine.  The wired cape is one of the better ones in recent memory, the fabric used and wiring make for fairly easy dynamic posing that hangs right.  The primary head is really sharp.  None of the Cavill head sculpts from any brand fully nail the look, but this one from most angles gets it.  The heat vision version is good except for the paint used on the mouth, it’s way too dark and just looks off, like he was eating black licorice all day.

Bottom line, it’s a really sharp DCEU Superman, one I’m keeping in rotation for now as primary.  Check out Mr. Kent and the rest of the JL so far after the break courtesy of Tamashii Nations and Bluefin Brands!  He’s out now at retailers in Japan and the US.

Batman.  Ninja.  Before this dropped I had no idea that these two words should go together.  Now they must.  The anime that dropped earlier this year was a crazy alt-verse ride, sending Batman and his family back in time to Feudal Japan along with Gotham’s villains.  We get ninjas, samurais, sword fighting, huge army battles, giant mecha robots and more.  The anime and it’s translation is not for everyone, but the visuals from it are pretty damn cool.  Enter these S.H. Figuarts Batman Ninja Joker and Batman figures.  They are high end, well executed versions of classic characters that can stand on any shelf regardless of connection to the movie, giving us a little spice.   Each are layered with tons of sculpt and detailed paint, come with a sword / sheath, extra heads and accessories.  Batman’s cape is removeable, as is Joker’s coat. Articulation is wide ranging, hitting all major points.  Batman is a little restricted with the cape though, and it takes up a lot of back-space when in dynamic poses.

All in all they are fun, alternative takes on these characters that have been done countless times.  As figures, they are a blast to pose and mess around with.   Both are out now in Japan and US retailers.  Read on to check out over 90 HD images showing what they can do!

We did a whole bunch of Marvel last week, time for some DC stuff this week!  Kicking things off is our look at the S.H. Figuarts The Dark Knight Rises Catwoman figure.  Repping Anne Hathaway’s Selina Kyle from the Christopher Nolan movies, she’s a 6 inch figure with several movie specific accessories. She comes with her goggles, one for raised and one for on-face, a pistol and a set of hands to work with the previously released Batpod.  Articulation and range of movement is good.  The ankles are a bit difficult to get in place, but they do work and hold weight given they are tiny and she’s in high heels.  The flip up goggles work well as a real-world play on the cat ears.  Paint and sculpt is solid from the neck down. Face sculpt – did not translate well from the prototype which was pretty good.  Chin is a tad recessed and face is wide, we lose the look of the actress in the process.  It’s still well executed, just not photo real to the movie.

With the goggles down, she’s a great accent piece to the previously released Batman, Batpod and Joker, all of which are excellent.  We’ve run her through the paces so read on to check out over 50 HD images!  She’s out now at specialty retailers in the US and Japan.

[So you’re fast.] That feels like an oversimplification. Time to take a quick (ha) look at the next S.H. Figuarts DC Justice League figure – The Flash. He joins Batman and Wonder Woman in uniting the team. The figure is a 6 inch scale, fully articulated movie version of Barry Allen, capturing the plated look of his armor in the DCEU. The face uses digital printing to capture the look of Ezra Miller. He comes with 3 sets of hands, and no extra heads or accessories. While hard to capture under different lights, he rocks a maroon / dark red as he did in the movie, not the fire engine red our cameras love to spit out.

All in all it’s a really well done version of the character, and pairs great with Bruce and Diana. When done, the S.H. Figuarts JL line up will be a solid representation of the team from this era.

We’ve run (ha) him through the motions, so read on to check out over 40 HD images! He’s out now in Japan and should be hitting US retailers soon!
