Anchoring the second wave
of DC Universe Classic figures are two versions of Superman. This time we
have him as the electric Superman, in this case Superman:Red. First seen in
Superman Red/Superman Blue#1, after an attempt on his life by the Cyborg,
inadvertedly splitting him into two beings, the somber Superman Blue and the
rougher Superman red.
Details at Superman Homepage. This new Superman is very close in
headsculpt and body sculpt (without the costume detail) to the other DCSH
Superman figures previously released.
The figure is packaged
with two detachable 'electric aura' attachments which go on the arms. They
can be placed anywhere in the arm or in the body, though it's recommended
you massage them inwards to make them tighter before applying. A third
attachment is attached to his back, which seems to not be meant to be taken
out, but it can come off with a bit of a tug. In fact the Superman Red in
our collection had his piece come right off. This piece can still be
attached later on just like any regular attachment due to the peg hole in
the back.
It is interesting to
note that the headsculpt on Superman Red, which is modified slightly from
Superman Blue, perfectly sets him apart from his other self, giving each
figure more than just a color-change as a distinction, but making them
separate characters as well.
Worry not! Both
Superman figures are as available as each other as they are packed evenly in
boxes. Both come with the same piece to build Gorilla Grodd. |
