Like Power Ring and Johnny Quick, Ultraman is mostly comprised of a standard DCUC male body with simple coloring to make up his costume, and a few extra bits here and there. The head sculpt on this guy is superb. It’s very detailed with just a tad of malevolance, and comes a close second to Johnny Quick as my favorite head sculpt in this batch. The body is cast entirely in blue and the only other coloring detail is the Ultraman emblem tampo’d on his chest. He also has these silver egg-like pods around his waist and a red, soft plastic cape. All in all, he’s a simple, but great looking figure. I think the cape would have looked better with the Ultraman emblem on it as well, but now I’m just nit picking.

Superwoman is based on a pretty standard DCUC female body with a simple, black, one-piece outfit and gloves and sculpted black boots. She also features a sculpted choker necklace and a dainty little black and yellow cape that hangs around her shoulders and is permanently pegged into the body just under her neck with a sculpted chain and shoulder pads. The head sculpt is very good, somewhat close to the old Wonder Woman figure, but with a much more stern expression. The sculpting on the hair is particularly well done, although it does inhibit the neck articulation a bit. I expected Superwoman to be a straight repaint and resculpt of the old Wonder Woman figure, but she certainly isn’t. In fact, she’s noticeably shorter and slighter of build than Wonder Woman and much closer in proportions to the more recent Star Sapphire WW.

Last up is Owlman and I’m guessing he may be the figure in this set people are most excited about, as he utilizes the most new sculpting of the set. Again, we have a pretty standard DCUC male body cast entirely in gray. He has sculpted bracers on his wrists and ankles and a nicely detailed utility belt. His segmented, soft plastic cape hangs down over his shoulders and he comes with a, what… owlrang? The owlrang is rubberbanded into his hand, and I haven’t bothered detatching it, because if I do, I’m sure I’m going to lose it. The head sculpt here is really good, although very oddly shaped thanks to his distinctive headgear. It looks like its impossible to have a regular human proportioned head under that thing, but I still like the way it looks. It does, however, seem to be based more on the character’s animated counterpart than his comic panels.

All three figures share the same points of articulation. You get ball jointed necks; The arms feature ball joints in the shoulders, swivel cuts in the biceps and wrists, and hinged elbows; The legs feature universal movement in the hips, swivels in the thighs, and hinged knees and ankles. The figures swivel at the waist and all feature the standard DCUC ab crunge hinge.

So, here’s the part about this set that a lot of collectors haven’t been too keen on. The last two of these 5-Packs (Gotham City and Green Lantern) sold for about $50-60. This one sells for about $75-80 and that price tag has been drawing it’s share of scorn. Personally, I’m not complaining. I wanted these figures for a long time now, and the set breaks down to $15 a figure, which is exactly what I wind up paying for most DCUC figures, unless I get a deal on a case. I do understand that collectors tend to associate these multi-packs with getting a bargain, but this one just isn’t one of those occasions. Either way I don’t see what the fuss is all about. Those cheaper sets were stuffed with a lot of straight re-packs, whereas this set very fresh. I couldn’t be happier with it.
