DC Multiverse Wave 2 Superman (1978) Superman Figure

Finally a decent Superman in this scale.

The figure is very durable, pose-able, articulate, and genuinely matches the source material.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Recap

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Batman

I was so excited when a new 4 inch DC line was announced.  There aren't many lines I have collected from the beginning, but I do plan on getting most, if not all, of these DC Multiverse figures.

GI Joe Dollar General Storm Shadow

So far there have been five figures.  There are kind of six, as there is a Batman with a different suit, but some places list that as a variant, so I'm not counting it.  Below I've listed each figure with links to their respective posts.

1. Batman
2. Bane
3. Azrael
4. Mr. Freeze
5. Deadshot

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham Origins Bane

So far all the figure have good articulation, which is a new thing for DC figures.  Some are certainly better than others, but they are all built well and quite articulate.

I've had no problems with the paint application on any of the figures so far, and none of them have broken or even felt brittle.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham Origins Deadshot

I opened my final figure of DC Multiverse Wave 1 figures.  I saved my least favorite for last for some reason.

Deadshot is an okay figure.  I think the other figures in this line got me overly excited for this one.

My first major complaint is that he has no accessories.  I get that he has a gun on his wrist, but come on.  It's Deadshot.  The packaging even shows him holding a gun.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham Origins Bane

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Mr. Freeze

Out of the first wave of DC Multiverse figures, Mr. Freeze was the figure I was definitely second most excited for.

Mr. Freeze comes equipped with his signature freeze ray, and of course is in his suit.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Batman

This particular figure is from the video game Arkham City.  The Batman and Azrael figures from this same wave are also from the same game.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Azrael Figure

I don't know a tremendous amount about Azrael, and I don't think anybody knows much about the Arkham City version.

In the game, this guy is known as the Mysterious Watcher.  He kind of hangs out around Arkham City and watched Batman.

DC Multiverse Wave 1 Arkham City Batman Figure

Finally!  Since I've been collecting figures in this scale, I've always wanted a decent Batman.  I'm not sure if the figure is as good as I think it is, but I couldn't be happier right now.

It's articulate, durable, the sculpt is great, the paint is great.  It's a perfect figure.

Avengers Movie Black Widow
Marvel Universe Comic Pack Wave 13 Hulk
Marvel Universe Nick Fury

As you can see, this new DC Multiverse toy line seems to fit in with Marvel Universe fairly well.  They might be a little smaller, but I have no complaints.  Many early Marvel Universe figures are very small compared to current figures.
