Just got the DC Metal Force Team Up with Brainiac, Lex Luthor, Batman, and Superman.
My son opened the door to go outside and an Amazon delivery guy was right there.



A few notes: Articulation on Batman and Lex's legs is sadly limited, similar to several villians such as King Shark, Killer Croc, Man Bat, etc. I was surprised at Lex's lack of knee joints, since the paint job actually made it look like green plastic attached to purple plastic, even in hand. Helmets glass is permanent for Lex and Brainiac. No wrist articulation on anyone, as usual. Only the front half of torsos are metallic. The tentacles on Brainiac are semi-flexible, semi-soft plastic, as are the hoses on the back of Lex's armor suit. Brainiac's head doesn't turn and his hard plastic shoulder pads limit range of movement for his shoulders. One funny feature is Batman's cape, which sits outside his armor. I'm wondering what the functionality of a cape could be when he is in robotic armor... Also, Lex is sporting a rather daring purple bikini bottom, which was a bold design choice.

Accessories are kid friendly, so somewhat oversized. Not sure what Brainiac has, but it is smaller than the rest, so it's not outlandish. Lex's kryptonite blade weapon isn't too large that it's unusable. The rocket launchers sit directly over Lex and Batman's heads, making them a little odd. Superman's bladed weapon is the most oversized accessory.

The collector cards are thick and heavy, so they may have some metal in them. Also, the collector card bases interlock.

I bought the set primarily for Brainiac, but as far as 3.75 DC offerings go, it's not a bad set, and Superman and Lex are way less cartoony than previous Spin Master release(s).
