Action Figure #417: DC Universe Classics Mightiest Mortals Shazam

  I guess we can't call him Captain Marvel anymore.

 At one point known as Captain Marvel, he is now known mostly as Shazam, the one guy that could stand up to Superman... depending on the writer, anyways. I don't much like the guy, the 'kid turns into an adult' gimmick isn't something I find interesting or appealing really.
 But he does look rather cool. Besides the simple red-and-yellow color scheme, he has this white and gold cape over his shoulder that makes him look a bit... a bit majestic, to be honest. His chest is also slightly different than the standard DCUC buck, because it has buttons as his top is more of a coat or vest than pure spandex. I also really like his face sculpt, while I hate the kid gimmick... his broad smile is very child-like, which fits this guy so well.
 Nothing to add on the height or articulation departments, it's the same as always.
 What can I say? He is another really nice DCUC figure. He looks powerful and innocent, and the additions to the standard buck, namely the gold wristbands and the cape make him stand out from the other DCUC figs.
8.0
