I picked up brainey today, July 31st, and I really love him. I love the classic goofy colors and the headsculpt is so awesome. Given that there were multiple "Brainiac Constructs" I kinda like having another version to go with the robot-Brainy we got in DCSH. Poe- I think you got a chase variant figure. The one I got has the arm sleeves matching his shirt perfectly. No hot pink torso on the one I got. Painted cuffs and boot tops are so lazy but the collar is well done. I woulda plunked down $12 easy for him so I bit down an extra $10 for heat-vision Supes which kinda sucks but whaddayagonnado. My kids can thrash that one.

Odd since the brainiac I have doesnt have much of a noticeable pink contrast between the chest and the limbs.

Well, I can't believe it, but one of the local Toys R Us had on their shelves Wave 8 (no hawkgirl though) and the Superman/Braniac, Clayface/Batman packs.

I've always loved the original Braniac design, great colors and he'll look swell loose in a case full of various colorful toys. That said, the Super Powers inspired DCSH version is no slouch! Here's hoping my bestest pal Mar-God can find me one loose and reasonable priced at SDCC this year. Supes…meh. Thanks for the review Poe, while I understand you are getting a tad burned out on this line (me too kinda) I always appreciate and look forward to your well researched, photographed and informative reviews. Please keep the rally going…

does anybody think that with the proper tools, you could repaint supes eyes blue?

I can’t tell what’s painted and what’s colored plastic, but it looks to me, especially in the close-up (cosmos-4.jpg), that there might be three different colors of pink involved. Brainiac’s shoulders seem to be a slightly different shade than what’s on either his torso or arms.

Oh well… I’m still anxious for my pre-order to get here. I’m a sucker for wacky old costumes like this. I don’t mind at all comic book characters that look a bit silly at times. (I even love the Killer Moth figure.) And I really love the head sculpt.

I'll pass on this. Using gloved hands when you have sculpted bare hand molds is unexcusable. Plus I feel like Braniac is too vibrant green. I'll wait and see about the DC Braniac to complete my Legion of Doom.

I'm getting the 2-pak.

I'm a bit disappointed with Brainy's discolored, unmatching arms,…. and he seems to be a little "Too Green" in skin color.

Wished Superman didn't have the red eyes, and the "gloved hands"…

(OK, I've got "issues"….) but I'm a sucker for this line… and I've been waiting for THIS Brainiac…This was THEE BRAINIAC before Gil made the change.

Glad to have both.!!

Thanks, Poe. Good review. I wished Mattel would try a little harder.

The ray-gun wasn't very imaginative, either.

I rag on too much articulation all the time at my blog.
