[Prowl 2009]

Our final DCUC Wave 18 pictoral update comes in the form of the Collect and Connect figure - Apache Chief, a perfect choice given the number of Super Friends characters included in this wave.

Although he has no accessories, his sculpt is great and is a nice transistion over to the DCUC line. I, like many reviewers of this line, didn't expect much when Apache Chief was announced as the C&C figure for this wave, but he's surprised me and looks much better than I was expecting.

The articulation is the standard DCUC articulation scheme, but the good news is that none of it is hampered by the loincloth or the hair as both are cast in a nice super flexible plastic.

The paint is both simple but effective. The body is mostly cast in flesh tone plastic with a bit of overspray to highlight the muscles. His face is painted to match the body’s flesh tone plastic and does a decent job. TheFwoosh also mentions that they believe there are slight 'leather’ textured portions of his costume to bring out the details a bit.

In conclusion, Apache Chief is an awesome C&C figure that looks great and fits in well with the rest of this Super Friends Wave. Final thought for me, I know I said this line will be either a Love it or Hate it, but in my opinion, there is lots to like here and I must admit - I love it!

Another win on the part of Mattel!
