Though I sold most all my 3.75 - 4" figures just a few short years ago, I'd taken to picking up these 4" Spin Master DC figures while out and about this past December. Though I don't typically pick up figures of this class, meant for younger kids, I do like them and feel they will sell easily enough in an eBay lot down the road. These remind me of Mattel's Infinite Heroes line from the late 2000s, which lasted about three years or so, and I wonder how far Spin Master will take this line, going into its third year in 2022. The pegs have been While they have no wrist, ankle, or waist articulation, the hinge-swivel joints in the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees in most the figures make them serviceable enough for posing.
Spin Master included "mystery accessories" with these figures, located in three small lockers withing the left side of the packaging. While a lot of them are somewhat clunky, with no paint apps, the play value of these figures is increased by their inclusion, allowing kids to collect and swap them among their other action figures. Both the standard and gold Superman came with armor, a Kryptonite rock, and laser eyes accessories...

Cyborg:
Shazam! ...complete with Billy Batson figure accessory ...!
Green Lantern:
Wonder Woman:
Flash and Reverse Flash:
Gorilla Grodd:
Aquaman and King Shark...
I was particularly taken with this Tech-Firefly...
Deathstroke actually came with a couple nice swards in a realistic color,
pictured below with the 3.75" Funko ReAction Series Deathstroke...
Picked up several Batman figures from this line...
One of the first of these 4" Spin Master figures I picked up was this outstanding
Batwing figure, pictured below with the Imaginext Batwing I posted about recently...
Was mad for these two Bat Tech Series Batman figures, one is translucent blue plastic:
This black and gun metal/gray Batman, decked out in another figure's accessories, is the more conventional. He reminded me of my Mattel EXP Series Ultimate Defender Batman, pictured with below for comparison...
Man-Bat came with a pair of claws, as did a couple other Batman figures...
I also managed to find four different variations on Robin, a couple hooded, and a couple molded in translucent plastic- one an almost completely red translucent mold. I liked some of the accessories, particularly the gun metal finished
Like the Robins I found, this Nightwing has the Bat Tech lines on his outfit and has a translucent black buck. Spin Master went all-in across its DC toy lines with the Bat Tech branding. For whatever reason, Spinmaster gave Nightwing his signature escrima sticks molded into giant gauntlets, mine in sparkle-translucent blue nonetheless ridiculous.
Like Nightwing, Batwoman has the Bat Tech lines
on her outfit, and has a translucent black buck:
Catwoman and Harley Quinn were in their standard issue looks, both great little figures...
And last but not least, the Clown Prince of Crime himself. This may be the third or fourth Joker of the series, this one with utility belt and dynamite strapped to his thigh. I like the metallic paint on this version, which came with a fish and chattering teeth, accessories appropriate to the character, even if molded in translucent/sparkly plastic. The left pantleg hiked up over the boot on this mold is a small detail I enjoy on this... glad I found this variant.
More Later- Make It FUN!
