The Positives:
* Lord Death Man looks like someone cosplaying as Scare Glow or the Silver Shamrock Trick 'r Treater with the skeleton costume. He's not an actual skeleton; he really is supposed to just look like a guy in a skeleton body suit with a cape and mask. The sculpt is pretty plain with most details just painted on. The bones are nicely painted, though, and do stand out well from the black bodysuit.
* The headsculpt is really cool and definitely gives him the feel of an old school anime or manga villain. It's skull-like, sure, but it also feels like it could easily be a big plastic helmet, which is probably what it's intended to be.
* The material of the cape shouldn't be unfamiliar to those who have purchased other figures in the line. It's not bad and does look quite nice on the figure. Not luxurious or deluxe or anything, but still a decent soft goods cape for a figure that retails for under $20 bucks. The cape stays on via a plastic clip, just like the old Kenner Super Powers and 1990s Batman figures.
The Negatives:
* It's kind of weird that these figures don't have any real hip motion; Just a simple cut joint, though they do have swivel/hinge knees. They're just very static, absolutely meant to just be stood around in the various scenes and playsets made for the line rather than truly put in action poses. They kind of remind me of older DC Collectibles/ DC Direct figures, though they don't break when you look at them.

Heh, you mention Scare Glow, this really does look like a cheap cosplay of him like an amateur like me would make for a convention. :) Kinda neat figure.
ReplyDeleteHe is a very cool figure. Not the most exciting, but unqiue for sure. He looks like someone in a generic Halloween costume, which does fit the Batman '66 comic aesthetic just fine.
