More Imaginext DC Super Friends!

I found a bunch of these 2021 carded Imaginext DC Super Friends figures at 1/2 price at Walmart, and though I've tripled(?) the number of Imaginext Batmen in my collection in the span of a couple weeks, I found another I needed. Like my Scarecrow 2-pk  Batman and my Bat Signal Multi-Pack Batman, this blue Batman has a translucent chest that can be lit from behind,

This Imaginext Batman is special because he looks like my Imaginext XL Defender Blue Batman:

This Mr. Freeze looks a little different that the others I've seen recently- 

he reminds me a lot of the 6" Power Attack Ice Blast Mr. Freeze I used to have ...!

This is a cheery Batgirl!

Catwoman from my Bat Signal Multi Pack would make a good sparring partner!

I had a Flash in a 3-pk vehicle set with Green Lanter and Hawkman many years ago, 

but this Flash is a little more dynamic in his color and sculpt..

The blind bag Superboy Prime I got recently doesn't have a translucent torso unfortunately, 

but he pairs well with this Supergirl- their colors are quite complementary!

The sculpt on this Black Adam is really special, made more so by his black/gold deco- Wow!

But before you go, I also found this oddball/old stock  Batman/Man-Bat 2-pk as well.

They also have translucent torsos to light from behind...

It's crazy I had just found the new blind bag Man-Bat with the different deco...

And another Batman that is very much like the new blind bag Batman I just found ...!

I prefer the blind bag Batman more (left, but this light-up version has it's own appeal...

And just like that, I have an Imaginext collection again! I'll be on the lookout for any new/interesting DC Imaginext in the future- minifigs like these are fun to photograph!

McFarlane DC Multiverse Dump

 In an effort to save time and consolidate some posts, I'm cracking open six McFarlane DC Multiverse figures I've had on ice- there are two or three more on preorder, but this will help rid me of space-consuming packaging. I'm largely unfamiliar with Kon-El Superboy, but always liked his punk outfit with the leather jacket. Sadly, no extra hands with Kon-El, nor flight stand, but I really like the figure!

Below, Kon-El with McFarlane DC Multiverse Superboy Prime and Jon Kent Superman...

Along with Kon-El, I was most excited to get this Jay Garrick Flash from McFarlane Toys- he has bright colors and a sort of Golden-Age facial treatment- his deco really reminds me of that era of comics. We get two pair of hands with Jay, and speed force effects accessories...

Above, McFarlane DC Multiverse Jay Garrick Flash with DC Collectibles New 52 Jay Garrick Flash, who actually has a broken left hip joint as that particular era of DC Collectibles suffered from such QC issues. Below, Jay with my DC Multiverse Injustice Flash, Wally West Flash, and CW Flash ...

My DC Multiverse Gold Label Shazam also has a kind of 

Golden -Age look to it, though his sculpt is more modern in it's detail ...

Most of my experience with Green Lantern Kyle Rayner is from the New 52 Green Lantern: New Guardians, over 10 years ago when I was reading a lot of Green Lantern. I found this Gold Label variant right after buying the Atrocitus BAF Wave Kyle Rayner. This version didn't include a lantern, but a katana and samurai armor- it also has a strait-face/closed mouth and different boots and gauntlets.

This Endless Winter Aquaman is just a good ol' standard Aquaman to my eyes, which is why I bought him! Not crazy about the eyes gazing left and we get no extra hands, but he grips that trident tightly...

I've seen neither the Justice League move nor the Aquaman movie, but the sculpt/deco on this Jason Momoa Aquaman is fantastic! He's taller than my DC Multiverse comic-based figures...

Above, Justice League Aquaman with McFarlane DC Multiverse Hawkman from the Black Adam movie line, perhaps my only other McFarlane DCEU/movie figure. Below, Justice League Aquaman next to my McFarlane Endless Winter Aquaman, who is notable shorter in spite of the way the photo appears...

I got this Gold Label Ocean Master pretty easily of Target's website a couple months ago- a character I've had limited exposure to, but provided another villain to my McFarlane Toys collection... dark and menacing!

I knew this Ocean Master would pair well with the Endless Winter Aquaman...

I have a sort of love/hate relationship with McFarlane DC Multiverse figures: they don't pose as well, nor do their joints possess the fluidity of Marvel Legends, nor Mattel's DC Universe Classics probably. The joints are also finger-pinchers and some of the gripping hands are so stiff that it's hard to get their weapons/accessories into! That said, I like the sculpting/deco on many of these and enjoy this particular group.

MEGO 50th ANNIVERSARY WORLD'S GREATEST SUPER-HEROES

 Before finding Superman, Batman, and Robin at Walmart on Black Friday, I had preordered the new Mego 50th Anniversary Shazam, Aquaman, and Flash from ZLC Collectibles, along with the forthcoming Green Arrow figure. I'm also still waiting on the Green Lantern and some other new Mego figures from Absolutely Retro. While Flash wasn't in the original Mego WGSH lineup, they did a fantastic job styling him as they would other characters cack in the '70s- I know because I was there! Check out the video:

There are group pictures with other toys in my collection in the video, some from Mego's newer 14" and 8" DC figure lines, Mattel 6" DC Universe Classics and 8" DC Retro-Action figures, 4" Spinmaster figures, and more. Below, Mego Batman with my 8" Mattel Retro-Action Batman and 10.5" Medicom Sofubi vinyl Batman, all with removable cowl. My childhood Mego was the later, 2nd version without the removable cowl, but otherwise indistinguishable from this 50th Anniversary version. Because of this, the blue/gray version with yellow oval chest insignia is kinda my jam- love all-black Keaton Batman too, but this was my first impression. 

I'm glad I picked up all of these and look forward to getting Green Arrow and Green Lantern, the latter of which was never produced in the original '70s WGSH lineup, like the Flash. Mego recreated the "magic" however on both these new additions. I had hoped Superman, Batman and Robin would have printed insignia like Shazam and Flash, but they went with the sticker like back in the day. I was never a fan of the oven mitt gloves either, but they are authentic. Regardless, I love that Mego released these- their return in 2018 was unbelievable, and I've bought more this year than any other since. It turned out to be a Merry Mego Christmas with even more to come!
