We’ve had more in-depth reviews of Superman Batman Public Enemies (see the review from Buzzy Fret and a guest review from Studmuffin), but since I recently completed the Brimstone Build-A-Figure that was split over two waves of these figures, I wanted to take a few more pics. Overall, I think this series works well enough as a standalone line. If you’re a fan of animated-styled figures and the ongoing McGuinness lines from DC Direct, you may find these complementary.
I’d have much preferred these characters done in the DC Universe Classics style. Mattel missed an opportunity to give collectors these characters in a more compatible look as well as the chance to better cross-promote DCUC to people buying figures for the animated movie. I think some of the figures fit in fine with DCUC – but I’ll let you be the judge of that.
I like these figures. I don’t think they fit in the best, kind of cartoon versions of their comic couterpart. I am still missing Major Force, but I keep hoping. As of last week, I was missing Force and Lightning, and now I am only missing one. Brimstone will soon be mine. I can feel it!
