DC Collectibles New 52 Flash Action Figure on Sale at Amazon

9 Replies

Hey Speed Readers,

Just wanted to let those interested know that DC Collectibles New 52 Flash is on sale at Amazon.com for $8.32 USD! It is Amazon Prime eligible which means free 2 day shipping or $3.99 overnight shipping for those that subscribe. In any case, a steal for this price.

For those that still can’t decide whether to blow less than 10 dollars on this pretty solid action figure you can catch a bunch of comparison pics at my own site, FastestFanAlive.com:

And finally the Group Shot:

For what it is worth I thought the figure was a solid effort overall. Sure it could use a bit more articulation and the face is, for lack of a better word, “derpy”, but the details in the sculpt alone are totally worth it. The electric seams on Flash’s armor are actually sculpted into this figure in contrast with Mattel’s version of the figure which not only lacks the sculpted details but instead has painted on yellow lines which serve to make the figure look kind of hokey. If they had only kept the original solicited head sculpt this version would have been superior in every way. Still for this price I can’t complain at all.

Again the link can be found HERE

Just to be clear, Speedforce.org makes no money off of this link. We simply want to help out fellow Flash fans and collectors.

So who plans on picking up this guy up for the low, low discounted price of 8 bucks?

Kotobukiya’s New 52 ARTFX+ Statues The Flash

18 Replies

Hey Speed Readers,

Japanese company Kotobukiya, has teamed up with DC Comics to give us some slick statues based on the New 52. With Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern already announced Flash will be joining the ranks of Kotobukiya’s Justice League in March of 2013:

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Kotobukiya’s line of DC Comics “New 52” ARTFX+ Statues continues, capturing the new looks and costumes of heroes in the Justice League. Racing to join the previously released Superman and Green Lantern comes the Scarlet Speedster and guardian of the Gem Cities, THE FLASH! Barry Allen was a mild-mannered forensic scientist (who was perpetually late) working late at night in his lab when a bolt of lightning changed his life forever. The electricity and chemicals combined mysteriously to imbue Allen with unbelievable speed and thus the Flash was born!

Not content merely to stand at attention like his fellow Justice Leaguers Superman and Green Lantern, the Flash can’t stay still for a moment. Ready to speed off to fight crime or supervillains with a wide-legged stance, Allen cracks his knuckles in anticipation. The Scarlet Speedster’s New 52 costume maintains the character’s traditional bright red and yellow color scheme but updates it with a bold new lightning bolt logo and intricate energy lines crackling all over his suit. The Flash’s excellent sculpt even includes the new technological details of his costume like the reinforced boots.

Standing 7 ½ inches tall (in the ARTFX+ 1/10th scale), the Flash was sculpted by master artist Atelier Bamboo. Magnets in his feet make him perfectly stable on his included display base, and he’ll look great on your shelf next to the rest of the Justice League including the upcoming Wonder Woman!

Release: March 2013

The statue is available for preorder at a number of outlets, my personal favorite, being Bigbadtoystore.com. It will retail for $39.99 usd, but you can find it at BBTS for $35.99.

Personally, I love this statue! Absolutely love it. Not only is it priced well but with all the sculpted details, being an import and standing at 7 ½ inches tall, I can’t think of a better deal. Plus, it’s so shiny!

Anyone plan on preordering this statue or waiting until the release and then trying your luck then? I’m probably going to wait a couple of months myself and make up my mind on whether I seriously want to throw support towards the New 52 or not. Such an excellent, affordable statue though. Decisions, decisions. Tell us what you think in the comments below.
