An obvious repaint, but so good looking nonetheless! Don't have a Flash figure but will look into getting this.

This is something that yes should be a repaint. The costumes are exactly the same sans the inverted colors. Repaints aren't bad when they make sense.
Red Death and Reverse Flash should have been the two pack with the solo Flash. I agree, I hope it's not some exclusive. I think we knew this was coming, we just didn't know for sure if it would be the more traditional look. Now show me solo Hal Jordan! |

This is a good use of "repaint". I hope it's a general release because I so need this.

I'm thinking the idea is that they're supposed to appear stretched out because they're moving fast, at least that's how I interpret it.
I'm definitely interested in Thawne since I do have the Flash and that ketchup vs mustard rivalry should pop on the shelf. I'm hoping we see Lobo revealed soon since he was also in the listings with Reverse Flash.

Maybe he keeps them long so he can comb them over his bald spot.

The longer ears are probably for exaggeration but honestly is like Batman ears. Some like them short and other like them long. Artists can also cheat, making them short from the side but then choose a perspective where they seem long to show off the bolt.
I hope Mcfarlane doesn't post the figure in the box. They really need to stop doing that as it hurts the figure. How many of us had to fix the crease from the Flash pose? In addition to Hal/Kyle, we also need Guy Gardner, Kilowog, Mogo, Salaak, and a Guardian. Any other green lantern is unimportant. Then be sure to do Sinestro. |

I assume it's done to cater to the MiB crowd because I've seen some pretty positive reactions to it before (with figures like Flash and The Drowned particularly). For what it's worth I didn't have to fix anything on my Flash it sorta straightened out just leaving him in a neutral pose for a while but I did put him back into a running pose after that.

I hope the scaling is right on Lobo because in my mind he needs to be about the size of the Darkfather BAF, at least.

No way to tell there, but my gut tells me this is gonna be normal 7 inch, maybe a bit taller. It's gotta fit in the standard hanger boxes if not some form of deluxe. Doesn't look beefy enough for Deluxe packaging.

McFarlane is failing on maskless head sculpts. I wish he was bigger and tougher, and had longer hair. Is this the New 52 version

Eh, classic lobo, cool I guess but not a fan of that face or hair. Also his "mustache" is supposed to be on his skin like markings on a dog not an actual mustache, duh.

i couldnt put my finger on why the likeness looked off, it's the short bob cut. he really needs longer hair and a less square circular face. just look at the 80s 90s lobo comics. i guess this is the mcfarlane version. i dont love it

Hell no this is not New 52 Lobo, that piece of shit was a skinny space emo. This is basically Rebirth Lobo, hence the shorter hair and the facial hair.

Holy shit. Say what you want about this new Lobo, but he looks awesome and close enough to the classic version that I'm now seriously considering selling my Mattel BAF Lobo from a few years back that uses the He-Man buck. Todd's version pisses all over it.

What does Lobo need with a shirt?

Say what you will about Lobo, but at least we got this version instead of that New52 Twilight vampire knockoff (and you know we very well could've given Todd's proclivity to making figures of popular characters in obscure outfits!)

New52 Lobo while skinnier then the Main Man was actually a pretty big dude. It's just that all the panels and covers had him standing alone. But when next to others, he's certain someone was some mass.
Except now...he's tiny and probably dead. I think Mcfarlane will generally lean on New52 and later designs over anything post crisis and back. But still I feel like the heads are done from a specific angle, neglecting it's a 3D object and needs to look expressive from all sides. It's statue logic but again these aren't statues. |
