Bizarro

Bizarro

DC Multiverse - Mattel

Walgreens Exclusive

"Me no am last DC Mattel exclusive!" - Correct, you are the last of your kind, Bizarro Superman.  The end of an era.  But what a better way to close up shop than with a great, new rendition of an old favorite?  Well, maybe a classic-colored Superman on the new buck they are using here?  Sigh...Anyway, Biz is showing up at Walgreens stores now and you definitely need him in your DC collection.

He sports the same buck as the Rebirth Superman from a few waves back.  It's a great attempt at a new articulation set-up.  Some would argue not as good as Marvel Legends, but it gets the job done.  Like Superman, you get some interchangeable, flat flight hands good for salutes, karate chops, and...well...flying. 

While he does not come with a Collect-and-Connect part, he is packed with accessories that make it worth the $20 price point.  He's got a removable cloth cape, a-la the old Superpowers line.  The clip around the neck does look as bulky as in olden days, but it's not so much of an eyesore that I'm going to cannibalize another figure for a plastic cape...especially since this one has the correct, classic yellow "s" shield on the back (backwards, of course.)  I'm not usually a cloth cape fan, but it's necessary here for the awesome accessory gimmick.

"Me am Superman, me no am Kent Clark!" - It's so rare to get the alter ego and super persona in one pack!  Removable glasses, necktie, and tattered jacket...Lois can't see past Clark's glasses, so this should be good, right?  And to make it all the more appropriately silly, the cloth cape shines with the ensemble. 

The final accessory is the "Bizarro #1" neck stone.  You know...so you can tell him apart from the rest of the other-worldly clones.  - "What a "terrible, terrible" figure!  Low, low recommendation.  You no need Bizarro today!  No buy him right now!"
