I saw that this was 'just announced' by DC the other day, and I could hardly wait to post it. Every one of these Uni-Formz pieces are looking great, and I'm finally starting to realize that you could not only piece together the Justice League with these awesome pieces, but you could also form an 'Injustice League' of sorts - which from a kids perspective, totally rocks!

Three characters of the Flash Character's are available

• The classic version of The Flash, dressed in his traditional red uniform;
• The villain Zoom, dressed in his traditional yellow uniform; and
• Black Flash, dressed, of course, in a black uniform.

For someone reason, these 3 seem more tempting then any of the other 3 Uni-Formz groupings of 3.

Recommendation remains a 'Buy', but as the series grows, I'm inching toward a Hot Buy. A DC Universe of these characters is going to look "AWESOME."



Robert's Two Cents: I love the Flash Uni-Formz. I agree with Zimm's suggestion of setting these up as a Justice League and an Injustice League. You could have real fun with that.

Points in Favor:

• Sweet! This is the costume this type of format was made for.

Points Against:

• While I like that they did the Flash, Reverse Flash, and Black Flash, isn't it a bit strange they'd do one of these for the speedster version of Death. I mean, that's what Black Flash is.
• The Reverse Flash logo should have a black background.
• Is that really the Black Flash or more like a Bizarro Flash?
• One really, really minor nitpick. They used what was basically Wally's costume, but used the Barry era belt.
  

Recommendation: Buy. They're cool. The Flash costume was one that these types of sculpts was born for. Going back to the Green Lantern one, I wish they'd done a Sinestro.
