Look who showed up today:





Prepare for a ton of pictures, but first, my thoughts.

Flash - Awesome, just awesome. This is hands down the best Flash figure to date. I mean, I thought Mattel's DCU Flash was the best, but DC just blew it out of the water. The running hands add so much to his posing and, while fragile, the cosmic treadmill is a great display piece. The only downside is you can't really display Flash on the treadmill with his legs posed as if he is running at full speed.

Oh, but I do want to give a word of warning. BE CAREFUL WITH THE HANDS!! I think I know why there is breakage being reported. Unlike the figures from Wave 1 and GL, Flash's hands are very tight. As such, you have to switch them out slowly and gently, otherwise they might break. I'm not sure if it is because the hole is smaller or if the nudge on the tip of the peg is thicker, but definitely be cautious when you swap them.

Green Lantern - This guy is also awesome, and if it weren't for the details on his shoulders, I would have never known this was a N52 Hal. The paint job is spectacular (well, mostly as the logo is just a tad off) and the articulation is great. I have mixed feelings on his construct space suit, especially since the top wing piece cracked while I was putting on the big wings, but for $25, it was a steal. The fist construct is badass and I do love the details in his battery. Unlike Flash, the hand pegs slide in easily, albeit, a little too easily. Also, I don't have any issue with the gloves coming off with ease as other reviewers have had.

All right, with that said, here are the pictures (sorry, some of them came out blurry even with me doing like 10 shots of them):
