i believe that the shoulder ball joints may be re-use from firestorm

If you lost the fur around the boots and gloves, you could use the body for a Mirror Master figure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flash_v1_105.jp... I actually prefer this figure to the Alex Ross one. I think it has to do with the expression the Horsemen made for Captain Cold.

What Pete said. Though since I got Barda from DCUC I've been thinking of using the DCD Barda with the rest of my Classics because the scale problem bothers me more than I thought it would. No way Scott should be taller than Barda.

Because those figures were targeted toward collectors and not given the same wide level of exposure that DCUC gets. Not to mention, DCUC has a history of pairing heroes with notable villains from their galleries, and Captain Cold is pretty high on the list of Flash villains.

Also, many of us don't have the Alex Ross version, and even if we did, the scale doesn't match this line.

I thought this fig was an unnecessary entry. We got a perfectly good release in the Alex Ross line. Why waste a slot on redundancy?

I have no problem with his height either. Looks like a great figure for any Flash fan.

the height issue really doesn't worry me – if he had been Capt Tall, Master of not needing a ladder to reach high-up stuff then it would be an issue, but I have no problem with him shrinking a little, after-all he's been in the freakin cold for over 40 years – that's got to do something to his bones……

To be totally honest I'd no idea that Captain Cold was supposed to be particularly tall. The height definitely doesn't bother me.

I think it's Sinestro's renowned high-forehead that makes it so noticeable with him.

His height isn't an issue for me, and the fact he's got a new body sculpt is fricken EXCITING!

So he comes with Atom Smasher's head and is that the butt?

@Cade- Mattel used to have a incapacity to make a villain larger than the hero. They seem to have let that go with DCUC. Kid Flash is explained by reused Robin parts. One things for sure though- less plastic makes for a cheaper product which makes for more profits. Probably not intentional on most counts but a nice bonus for Mattel
