I have to say I am really impressed with Mattel on this one. This is probably the first figure released from them in nearly a year that feels like it was actually put together with good materials. The joints on mine are extremely tight (and boy, do I mean tight, as there are some I really need to use force to move), which is great for a character that runs like Flash. Secondly, the paint job on him is nearly flawless. Outside of the line on the front part of the neck not connecting with the backside on one side of his neck (you can see it in the pic of him talking with Zoom), I have no complaints at all. The eyes look very detailed, the costume looks great, and the sculpted insignia along the detailed sculpting on the mask and boots make this figure really pop. I love it. I could do without the yellow lines over his body, but that is a minor nitpick. Speaking of nitpicking, there is one true complaint with the figure. The arms, the lower legs from the swivel and below, and the hip hinges on the top portion of the legs are a different shade of red compared to the rest of the body and mid-section of the upper legs.

Despite that issue, like I said, I am really impressed and if all of the New 52 figures come out like this, I might just have to collect them after all. Nevertheless, I am glad I got this figure and this might be my favorite Flash figure over all.
