Alrighty then, we’re up to the very last packaged figure in Wave 2 of Green Lantern Classics. This time up its Star Sapphire Carol Ferris… wait, didn’t I already do this figure? Oh, silly me, that was Star Sapphire Wonder Woman from Wave 17 of DC Universe Classics. Easy mistake. [And no, I didn’t forget. I’m going to be looking at the rest of Wave 17 next week. -FF] With the exception of Skallox/Nite-Lik this one was really the only packaged figure in this assortment I was looking forward to getting for reasons other than the C&C piece. Besides getting another Star Sapphire, I thought it was pretty cool to get a Carol Ferris figure in the DCUC scale, and let’s face it this is the only way that’s ever going to happen. Seriously, Mattel, if Hasbro can give us figures of Mary Jane (both Legends and Universe) and even Aunt May (Marvel Famous Covers, look it up, bitches!) how about a Carrol Ferris or a Lois Lane?
Yep, same packaging. I think I’ve said all there is to say about it. Carol’s packaged in an action pose, which thankfully didn’t mess with her joints too badly. What? No Lantern? Pfft. Let’s move on…
My, doesn’t Carol look smoking as a Star Sapphire? She’s wearing more on her arms and legs than she is over the important bits, but I doubt Hal is complaining. She’s a simple female buck sculpt with her scant purple garments all painted on and her fashionable white “V” collar sculpted. The lines between flesh and clothing are all pretty sharp, in fact there’s really no slop or bleeding on this figure’s paintwork at all. Carol’s head sculpt is a bit overly catlike, but its still attractive and perfectly serviceable and her tiara/eyemask is sculpted along with her long hair.
Carol’s articulation consists of ball joints in the neck and shoulders, universal movement in the hips, hinged elbows, knees, and ankles, swivel cuts in the biceps, wrists, and thighs, and a ball joint in her torso. All in all you get the same level of articulation here as in the male figures, except for the lack of waist swivel and the addition of the torso joint rather than just an ab crunch.
So, all in all Carol’s a great little figure. If you’re one of those that has issues with the DCUC female buck, then you’ll have all the same old complaints. I’m not, I think its fine. And now that we’ve closed the book on the individual packaged figures, I’ll be back tomorrow to check out one of the coolest looking C&C figures to come out of the DCUC lineup: Stel. Who woulda guessed?
