(More customer reviews)This set is just too cool for words. They are sitting on my desk right now, in front of my computer, and I am marveling at their greatness.
The "Justice League Unlimited" series is doing a great job putting out some of the more-obscure figures, all done in the Bruce Timm influenced "animated"-style of the Justice League Unlimited TV series. Even though the Marvel Family never appeared on the show (which is a sad, sad oversight) they get rendered her in plastic glory giving us a taste of what might have been.
Most of the Marvel Family is here. Captain Marvel (called "Shazam" on the package), Mary Marvel (called "Mary Bromfield"), Black Adam (who is the only one that gets to retain his same name) and Shazam himself (called simply "The Wizard.") The only one missing is Captain Marvel Jr., which is a shame but it is cool to have the wizard Shazam making his first-ever appearance as an action figure.
The figures are on the 4.75" scale, slightly taller than the DC Universe Infinite Heroes Crisis Captain Marvel and about half the size of the DC Direct Marvel Family series. Because this is a set produced almost exclusively for collectors, there is not a lot of articulation on the figures. Captain Marvel and Black Adam have standard "Star Wars figure" articulation, with movable arms and legs. Mary and Shazam have only movable arms.
The sculpting on these figures is great, with each figure having a distinct face. Black Adam is more Egyptian than he appears at most times, with dark skin, a pronounced widow's peak and pointed ears. He has a cape, like he wore in the 52 series. Mary is the only one I have trouble standing. She is wearing high heels, which means it is a balancing act to get her to stay upright.
I would love to see a continuation of the Marvel Family in the "Justice League Unlimited" line, with Captain Marvel Jr. and maybe some more villains like Doctor Sivana and Mr. Atom.
