So, this is a little different. We are already organizing our traditional staff look at the latest DCUC Series (13 for those of you that are counting). So, in the meantime, I just want to highlight some of things that this series holds that furthers one of the best (in my opinion) action figure lines going right now. First up is Negative Man.
So why do I like Negative Man? Particularly this Negative Man figure?
#1. The Doom Patrol. I have never had a plastic Doom Patrol. Now, I have three of the six members I find essential to the team. C’mon Elasti-Girl, Mento and The Chief.
#2. Put a Band-Aid on it. So, test pilot Larry Trainer flew through some pretty serious radio-activity, giving him his powers. In the awesome spirit of the ’60s, he just puts on some bandages to protect others from his radioactivity and rolls with it. Duck and cover!
#3. Bill Benecke. Yeah, Mattel’s Lead Designer for DCUC is looking out for us. Sure, the variant has always looked neat, but they managed to keep it a secret that he has a fully sculpted and painted skull under his invisi-face. Awesome. Oh yeah, the Four Horsemen had a little something to do with that too.
Check Back tomorrow for another reason why I like DC Universe Classics!
