Wave 18 was delivered today! Only a few minor issues: a.) Bronze Tiger's interchangeable tiger mask head is a rather pale orange compared to the rest of his paint apps; b.) big beady glob of black paint overspray on Black Vulcan's face; and c.) slight misalignment of paint apps on the skin portions of Toyman's cowl/face.

All in all, the plastic is a little softer than previous waves, but in no way cheap feeling. The figures are a little less brittle so they should survive a drop without breaking anything off.

I put Apache Chief together, and I still maintain that his torso is far to large/muscley, but I am infatuated with the line, figures, packaging, and all.

I just got the 6-figure wave without any of the All-Star figures, so I haven't seen the new Barry Flash. Other than the regular belt design (versus the "V" shape of Wally West's belt), the two Flash figs could pass for Barry & Wally, but to my eye the bulkier buck is almost too subtle to notice a difference.
