Toys and Games Reviews of Mattel DC Universe Blue Beetle Figure
Customer Review: Blue Beetle... Wait! Don't Step On Him!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is Blue Beetle from wave 7 of the DC Universe Classics line. Ted Kord inherited the mantle of Blue Beetle and uses technology, wits and athleticism to fight crime as opposed to super powers. Earlier and later versions of Blue Beetle do use powers.
The figure is a solid, fun and visually impressive piece. Based on the standard DCU body he sports great articulation, ball joint neck, ball shoulders, pin elbows and his hands rotate, a tilt torso joint, cut waist joint, the great hip joints that allow forward and back and side to side movement without making the sculpt look funny like ball hips do, pin knees and ankles. In summary, a great amount to get plenty of cool super hero poses without over doing it or hindering the look of the figure.
It is a typical super hero body. However, the head sculpt with the yellow "bubble" style goggles really sells the figure. You can clearly see his eyes and the goggles themselves look terrific and are iconic for the character.
They've done a clean job on the paint with his blue on blue scheme. The beetle design on his chest is perfect and clean and even someone only slightly familiar with the character will recognize him. The black outline highlights look great. The only tiny area of slop at all is where they applied the yellow at the front of his belt. Otherwise the paint is perfect.
Last are accessories. He has his gun, which is a kind of fat but also futuristic affair - imagine Buck Rodgers' hair dryer maybe. It is silver with metallic blue knobs on each side and is kind of retro cool looking. It can be held in either hand. His belt has a holster in which to store the gun which is tailored for a perfect, if bulky, fit. It does have a strap clasp but I have not been able to successfully latch the tiny hole over the tiny soft peg to actually close it and don't want to force it and break it so I'm not sold on the functionality of the design there.
He also has a piece of Atom Smasher the collect and connect (read: build a figure) for this line. He's a big dude, about 9" tall, and sports great sculpt, articulation and paint all his own. He's worth it if you're interested in buying the entire line at all. If not then you'll have an extra arm or leg or head just hanging around.
Overall, a really good looking and fun figure with only the tiny bit of paint slop and non functional holder clasp holding it back from perfection.
