Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice Collection by Mattel
I'm quite surprised by the good looks of these dolls and the low price of $39.95 each. I thought I was on the wrong website.
Batman has the new Ben Affleck sculpt. He's fierce! This is so not like Mattel it's wonderful. They're calling the body type Poseable Hero Male. No more Mr. Wimpy.
The Superman Doll uses the new Henry Cavill sculpt. Not bad at all. The hero body is super muscular. No information about the costume or measurements of the doll are posted with the listings.
Wonder Woman Doll's description: The wild card in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice™, Wonder Woman
is the daughter of Zeus and an Amazonian princess! Sculpted and
costumed just like the movie character, she’s fully articulated and
ready to fight with her sword, shield, and her iconic “magic” lasso.
Knee-high boots, armored bracelets, and a headdress complete her
warrior’s attire.
The costumes are not removable without cutting them off. I think these figures still have a lot of play potential in spite of that. The molded hair on the male figures doesn't bother me although it would be cool if they could have done rooted hair. I'll wait to see them in the stores before jumping although I'd like to have Wonder Woman just for the new articulated body.
Ooooh, I'm glad I read your comments. I saw these go up on Amazon a little while ago and was sorely tempted by WW. But not if her clothing has to be cut off.
Terri, I bought the Superman doll, in hopes of giving my smaller girls a mate. But he is a tiny bit shorter than even my few Barbie's. So he will be left as Superman, and not redressed as a boyfriend!

ReplyDeleteI like her and I might get one in spite of that just for the body. I've done it before. I'll have to go see how much Amazon is asking.
