Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't know much about the character Shazam!, but I'm a fan of the new 3-3/4" DC Comics superhero action figures and thought I'd grab this one for my superhero collection. (I already had a Superman, Flash, Batman, etc. And Shazam! looks pretty cool.)
Shazam! bends at the knees and elbows. His legs move at the hip. His shoulders have ball & socket joints, his head rotates, and he can turn at the waist. It's reminiscent of old-school action figures. (The shoulder joints being a nice upgrade.) There are no spring-loaded action moves and the figure isn't overly articulated. I think this simpler design makes the DC Universe: Infinite Heroes line more kid-friendly than some other action figures out there these days.
The figure is made of a durable plastic and should withstand a good deal of play. Shazam's cape is made of a rubbery plastic and is glued onto the figure's back. The toy doesn't come with any weapons or accessories. Just Shazam! himself, dressed in his traditional comic book costume.
A nice addition to a toy chest and a nice-looking superhero toy.
What's great about the new DC Universe: Infinite Heroes (by Mattel) and Marvel Universe (by Hasbro) action figure lines is that a wide range of popular superheroes and villains are being released together. In both cases the no-frills figures are designed from their classic comic book appearances, rather than from recent movies or stylized animated TV series. And they're all 3-3/4" scale, too. So you can get the classic superheroes from both Marvel and DC and play with them together in one all-star adventure. And the Star Wars action figures are the same size, too. These new toys break down barriers. Characters from all these different fictional mythologies can co-exist in playtime imagination.
I'm excited about the new lines because of the simpler design of the figures (back to the basics) and the standardization (in size and quality) of characters from throughout the comics. (Everyone under one roof, so to speak. Not limited by what movies or TV shows they're in.)
