What's your favorite DCUC family figure?

Postby Idiot Savant » Tue Sep 17, 2013 9:21 pm

Of the entire run of the DCUC family (DC SUPERHEROES, Batman and Superman; DCUC; PUBLIC ENEMIES; GREEN LANTERN waves; LEGION; CRIME SYNDICATE OF AMERIKA and DCIE), what is your favorite figure?

For me, I'd have to say that Brainiac from the DC SUPERHEROES/Superman line; similar to the Super Powers Brainiac. DCUC Metamorpho and Plastic Man are my close 2nd and 3rd.

It's a fantastic sculpt using minimal body parts that would end up being reused in different incarnations. The inner details of the face exudes pure hatred for anything organic. The painted details on his shoulders and brain-case are ideal and his 4-digit, clawed hands and has 24 points of articulation.

Not to mention he's downright creepy...

What are your thoughts?

Check that, 26 points of articulation...forgot the rocker ankles (something Mattel quit using early!)

My top pick switches back and forth between C&C Darkseid, Etrigan the Demon, and, believe it or not, Eclipso.

Oh geez, I dunno. I really like Cassandra Cain, but my favourite changes from time to time. :batconfused:

Dr. Fate was always my favorite SuperPowers fig as a kid, so to get a replica in six-inch was awesome. Can't go wrong with Hal Jordan either. Would've been Stargirl if she hadn't been sprayed with Joker Venom.

Maybe Kiliwog? He is so sweet and was the first C&C figure I HAD to have.

Honorable mention to Aquaman, Deathstroke, and PLENTY of others. Huntress, for being so late in the game (dead on arrival) is fantastic.

I don't really know... there are so many that are so good for their own reasons.
Wave 20 Sinestro Core Sinestro earns points for taking so long for Mattel to get it right.
Killowog is about the best BaF there is, even if a bit oversized for the character.


Oh!
I got it!

Catman. Because he's awesome, and gobsmackingly unlikely.

I could not wait to get my hands on Dr. Fate, he was easily the most anticipated figure and I love owning him. Hawkman is probably my favorite in overall execution. His sculpt, the wings, accessories..........Hawkman just exceeded my expectations. The Mr. Miracle from the same wave was also a delight, he looks awesome hangin around on his aero-discs
