We conclude our senses-shattering "Aqualad Week" with DC Direct's adorable line of mini-figures called Pocket Heroes.They would pair up two characters that fit together (I haven't even gotten around to posting the cool Aquaman/Black Manta set yet), and while I'm sure Garth would've preferred to be sealed in plastic with Wonder Girl, she must have been busy.* Wally "Kid Flash" West was a fine second choice.
As usual, the package design and execution are flawless. Another sharp, fun product from DC Direct. We thank them for helping end "Aqualad Week" in style!
*being packaged with that junkie Speedy.
Man, when these first came out, I went nuts and bought them all. A week laster I seemed to snap out of it.
ReplyDeleteI blame the packaging
Together, Wally and Garth are the ultimate superhero team! Nobody, er.... makes water run faster than they can!
ReplyDeleteThese figures are a lot of fun and look great displayed in groups. But I'm kind of like Brian, the appeal wore out quicker than I thought. I think I got just about all of them except the Legion though. I'm such a DCD mark.
ReplyDeleteAnd you thought you couldn't get a whole week out of Aqualad...

ReplyDeletei understand that feeling. when i first saw all the stuff DCD was putting out--Phantom Stranger, Adam Strange, Metamorpho action figures?!?--i told myself i was going to buy all of it.
then i saw a friend who did, and how the stuff just piled up because there was so much of it so fast, that it lost a lot of the appeal for me.
sometimes its better NOT to get everything you could ever want...part of Mego's enduring appeal, i think...
Me, I only bought the Aquaman/ Black Manta set.
ReplyDeleteIf I had seen all of them though I would have bought the whole JLA and meting table.
