DC Direct 13" Flash

The line has grown on me. Even the over muscled Flash looks okay. They don't fit in with other 1/6 figures but neither do my minicoms. Really looking forward to Capt. Marvel.

All in all, I've been pretty happy with this line, with the exception of the prototype pictures for the new 13" Nightwing. It looks freakin' awful. The only thing that worries me is how the women will turn out. I could care less how these figures compare to other 1/6 scale stuff because they will be displayed alone, I just don't want Catwoman the same height as Superman or Batman for that matter.

the pics of Shazam i have seen, made him look like he will be the best of the line so far.

Yeah, Captain Marvel looks awesome. I liked either headsculpt, but I do prefer the final one. It might become my favorite but that Green Lantern will be hard to beat, especially with an accessory like a LED light up power batter.

I'm pretty happy with the Flash. He has some issues as do all the figures in the line. But the costume is pretty nice, I like the headsculpt, and he looks good with the rest of the DCD figures. I'm a lot happier with DCD's take on this then the old "Marvel Studio's" line anyway. Well mostly. The movie version "Blade" was really nice. And I find the bodies have adequate articulation. Some odd choices for the placement of some of the cut joints, but mostly okay. I just wish they were actually 13" or a bit less and somewhat less bulky so at least the "Big Guy" superheroes like Superman and the upcomming Captain Marvel could be displayed with actual 1/6th figures. "The Big Red Cheese" does look like the best figure so far and I can't wait to get him along with the next Superman. Not real optimistic about Catwoman or Nightwing. They both look pretty terrible and I didn't order them. Hope they get the female figure proportions right by the time Wonder Woman comes around.

Just got Flash and have to say I'm pretty happy with him. The necklessness did bug me, but I popped off the head and noticed that the costume only has a small hole cut out for the neck post to stick through. However the costume is designed for the top of the neck to sit around the top of the neck of the figure. So I scrunched down the costume around the neck and popped the head back on. The costume may creep up more, but it looks 10 times better with the neckline a little lower. Also it increases the possible movement of the head.

If one thing DC has done with this line is improve it with almost every figure. The only one I think is pretty much a failure is Two-Face.
