[Prowl 2009]

Today's pictoral update comes in the form of DCUC Wave 18 Black Vulcan, a figure I wasn't crazy about at first, but that has really began to warm me over.

By way of accessories, Black Vulcan comes complete with two clip on electricity effects and Collect and Connect Apache’s Chief’s right leg. The effects seem to be recolored versions of those that came with Superman (Red/Blue), just recast in clear, yellow plastic. To me, these look awesome, and just add something cool to this Super Friends member.

The only new part on this figure, sculpt wise, appears to be the head, but it's spot on to his cartoon counterpart.

Black Vulcan has the usual DCUC articulation with a ball jointed neck; swivel hinged shoulders and thighs; bicep, thigh and wrist swivels; and single elbow, ab, ankle and knee hinges and nothing appears to be hindered.

Paint appears to be good, for the most part. Around the yellow chest symbol, as is to be expected, the paint can get a little dodgy, but other than that, it's well applied and the metallic yellow on the mask ears is a nice touch.

Another small point is that the V-neck collar has been removed in favor of a closed costume neck line. Yeah, the original character had a V-neck, but this looks just as good to me.

So, final thought wise, Vulcan has really warmed me over. He's got cool accessories and a nice sculpt and paint, so unlike El Dorado, I'll be adding this Super Friends member to my DCUC collection as soon as the wave hits retail.
