DC Superheroes Silver Age Superman

Without a doubt, one of the most iconic superheroes of all the time. The man of steel, Superman, a staple superhero of DC Comic universe. He first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938 and is considered the first character to embody truth, justice in the American way.

Here he is from the 9 inch Dc Superheroes SILVER AGE COLLECTION line, released by HASBRO in 1999. Ebay still has them if you keep looking around, you'll find one.

 

                        Just like the rest of the figures from this line,
                                                      same basic body with articulation.

Due to the lighting, the blue on my supes is rather dark, but in the pics, kinda looks lighter in shade.

Well, I find the body abit to toned down, I would rather prefer a biggier built body. Head sculpts is not to bad. The capes a tad too short too.

Not the best Superman around but this version is slightly taller then the DC universe ones and shorter then any 12 inch ones, definitely good for any Marvel Famous cover collector....

And yep there's more coming.....

Dc Superheroes Silver Age Green Arrow

Oh look its Robbin'Hood, the prince of thieves, no wait, its not, Its the Green Arrow!!!

The Green Arrow first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in 1941, till now, he has graced the DC universe ever since, appearing in a number of cameos. His secret identity is Oliver Queen, billionaire playboy and former mayor of Star City, Leader of Team arrow and member of the Justice league. 

Dressed like Robin Hood, Green Arrow is an excellent archer, who invents trick arrows with various special functions, such as a glue arrow, a net arrow, explosive arrow, time bomb arrow, grappling arrow, fire extinguishing arrow, flash arrow, tear gas arrow and my personal fave the boxing-glove arrow.

Pictured is the Silverage version, though I prefer the Modern day Goaty version but anyways, this is one sweet figure, though the fists don't really hold the bow very well, he still has a few nice poses.

Too bad, this figure only comes with 3 arrows, no trick arrows, all and all, a nice representation of the old school version of Green Arrow, a must have for all Green Arrow fans.

Stay tune for more from the series.....

Dc Superheroes Silver Age Aquaman

From the DC Superheroes Silverage collection released in 1998, the king of the seas, Orin or well known Aquaman, here's a comparison with the DC Retroaction Aquaman.

The figure is great, the headsculpt is dynamic and captures the silverage style. The body is the standard 9 inch Hasbro body which I love more then the Toybiz Famous covers bodies. Speaking of Famous covers, most of the suits on Famous covers figures has the same problems due to time, as for Aquaman, his Suit has the same problems, the orange coating flakes off and tends to be sticky and when posing orange powder tend comes off.

Noticed the colour of my Aquaman, I washed off all the orange coating.

Here's the original orange suit for comparison.

Though Its quite disappointing to have the suit flaking off, after washing it off, what's left is very light orange or should I say biege suit, the scales are still visible and the orange thread lines.

All in all still a great representation of Aquaman, besides the suit, everything else is cool about this figure. It was very ironic, that Aquaman really needed water after so long. Im still smiling and not at all disappointed.....

The Tridents from the DC retroaction Aquaman Figure. Yup, all that's missing is rubber sea creatures.....
