So my comic shop was having a 40% off all toys today and 50% off graphic novels. As such, I picked these up:



Here is what I think of each figure:

Lex - Just like Hal, he isn't my favorite version, but hot damn DC did a phenomenal job on him. He is hands down the best Lex figure ever released. I do like the slimmer armor as it is a lot more posseable and looks a lot nicer than that bulky crap Lex has had in the past. I didn't have any issue with his wrist joints at all so no worries of breakage from me, but then, I also made sure to move them when they weren't inserted into his arms. The headsculpt is also damn impressive too. For $18, he was well worth the price and it is nice to finally have a villain in my Icons collection. Unfortunately, his blade arm attachment is supposed to clip on, but it doesn't do so very well.

Deadman - There is a lot I love about him, but there are areas where I feel Mattel's toy was better. Most of it deals with the head sculpt. DC has done a phenomenal sculpt, but I do like how the Mattel one had his mouth open. That aside, I definitely feel he is far more proportionate than the Mattel one and surprisingly, he is more agile. On the other hand, I do like the translucent plastic Mattel used. Nevertheless, once again he was well worth the price and I'm glad to have added him to my collection.

Blue Beetle - Wow, this figure is absolutely amazing. He may be my second favorite Icons figure released thus far. He has such much detailing, especially on the scarab. The only negatives I give him are due to the head being pretty much immobile and the lack of having open hands. Thankfully, that more than made up for with a fantastic set of artillery he came with to switch out with his hands.
