I've had this figure for close to 2 weeks now, and I'm surprised at how blown away I am at it, as I initially didn't want to acquire him in the first place! I actually wanted a Wally West version, the one with the "M"-shaped lightning on his waist similar to that of the Wave 5 Black Lightning figure……I know, I'm just being anal, but I totally agree with Poe's review above anyway. I guess a Professor Zoom variant shouldn't be too far away? Hopefully they can do a better shade of yellow than what Kid Flash has…….

I could verify your super powers flash claim about the treads on his feet, but man… it's all the way on the other side of the room…

I saw one at a specialty toy store here in the Philippines for $25!!! It looked god – but not that good! But I'm happy to see that the figure is another excellent release from this wave!

@HarmsWay: You're right, my mistake!

It's very easy to get confused between Super Powers and Toy Biz's line…please keep in mind, I never actually owned any SP figures (I simply missed that boat entirely), so without the Toy Biz figures I'd have no fond childhood memories of DC toys at all.

Also, the Toy Biz Riddler re-used pieces from both Green Lantern and the Flash–I'm positive of that because it was actually the Riddler who had treads on his feet, not the Flash.

outburst…

soft plastic. I personally wished his head wasn't so soft. I'm looking for one with a perfectly square jaw but can't find one.

I'm guessing if Flash's head was as hard as Aquaman, Wonder womans and Green Lanterns…there wouldn't be any WARPING issues.

Also, I'm hoping they get a repaint out with the Four Horsement 2-up's where his ear wings are metallic gold instead of bright cheap yellow. Sort of reminds me of McDonald's when i see his head. lol

Head issues aside, I like the Flash figure. I wonder if I can do a head swap when they do the Wally West Flash (if it looks good that is)? hmmmm

Are the wings on the head and boots a soft plastic or hard?
