I stopped at Target on my way home tonight looking for the GI Joe vehicles (Which I found!). As I was leaving the toy aisle with the VAMP and HISS I looked over by the Dark Knight stuff, and there were the DC Universe Infinite Heroes! I picked up Guy Gardner and Captain Marvel, but left Adam Strange and Reverse Flash. Price was $4.99. And to avoid any "This thread is worthless without pictures!" comments:

Here's a quick New Joe/Old Joe comparison. First impressions: Not bad, the articulation is on par with most newer Star Wars figures, shoulders have a better range of motion than I thought they would. Guy Gardner's eyes are such a pale shade of blue he looks like a zombie, but otherwise worth the five bucks. I'm not going to get every one, but the ones I will get will mesh with my ever-expanding 1/18th scale universe.

Carp right when I thought I could save some cash. They look great though. |

So the hunt begins  But at 4.99, at target even, I'll be grabbing every one of these guys. Thanks for the heads up! |

I can't really tell from the pics, but do they have swivel wrists, forearms and bicepts ? Thanks for the pics and super cool score. |

I haven't seen them yet, but I'll grab a few I guess. I'll cut that huge freakin hand off and give them better ones though. I'll probably add some swivel joints to the arms if they don't have that either. I guess the hip needs to be reworked too. Would it just be better to make my own instead of buying these? Hehe. I wish Mattel would update the way they make action figures. |

Biceps - it looks that way, But i dont think the forearms or wrist are swivel... but with those hand, chop them and replace. |

they have ball-joint shoulders, but no bicep swivels. No swivel wrists either. |

Lousy timing financially, but I'll definitely be looking for these! |

I noticed the other night that the females look to have the mid torso articulation like the 25th Joes. Attachment: DSC02925.JPG [ 39.22 KiB | Viewed 2586 times ] Attachment: DSC02882.JPG [ 40.87 KiB | Viewed 2575 times ] Attachment: DSC02867.JPG [ 44.4 KiB | Viewed 2624 times ] |

I'm totally using the females for customs, v-crotches be damned. I really like the looks and colors on these figs.. I just don't care that much about DC. And a 5 bucks. That's a solid price. |

I was gonna pass on these, but they look much better than the prototypes. Does anyone have a full list of them? |

They don't have hip or wrist articulation, and Capt. Marvel's hands dwarf his head. Here is a list of what figures were on the back Guy Gardner Capt. Marvel Atom (Non Ray Palmer) Adam Strange Black Hand Reverse Flash Kind of a strange selection of B and C list characters. |

You can kind of rationalize the others. Guy Gardner looks like a Green Lantern and the kids who would look at these now what a Green Lantern is. Reverse Flash looks like a yellow Flash, again, the kids would king of get that. Capt. Marvel, looks Superman-ish. The others... are a bit harder... especially Adam Strange. I barely know who he is. |
