DC Super Heroes S3 Select Sculpt

Back in 2007 Mattel Toys produced a series of action figure two-packs featuring DC Comics characters.

The DC Super Heroes S3 Select Sculpt figures, as described by Mattel,  “Figures are characterized by a classic look, unique sculpting and incredible posability.”

The Batman/Batgirl double action figure set backs up Mattel’s claims.

Articulation is amazing with articulation points at the elbows, shoulders, torso, neck and head, upper legs, knees and ankles.

The superior sculpting hides many of the swivel, rotation, hinge and pivot articulation points.

The DC Super Heroes S3 Select Sculpt packaging consists of an oversize bubble pack with the figures secured in place by a form-fitting clear inner sleeve.

The Batman symbol graces the lower right hand corner of the bubble pack and the DC Super Heroes type runs vertical along the left side.

On the back are several color photos of additional DC Super Heroes S3 Select Sculpt single figures from the collection: Scarecrow, Bane and Killer Croc.

Both the Batman and Batgirl figures stand approximately 6-inches tall.  

Each figure is colored in the traditional bat gray and blue with a black bat symbol on Batman’s chest and a yellow bat symbol on Batgirl’s.

Batman and Batgirl comes with lower arm length gloves (blue for Batman, yellow for Batgirl), blue boots for Batman, yellow boots for Batgirl, blue cowls attached to long capes, blue trunks for Batman and no trunks for batgirl and stationary hands on each figure.

Gloves on the figures have three bat tips, Batman’s brown utility belt is reminiscent of a military belt with full pouches. A bat symbol is the buckle and Batgirl’s belt is slimmer, yellow and also has a bat symbol belt buckle.

Batgirl holds a batarang in her right hand.

The figures’ faces are nicely sculpted and colored, Take special note of Batgirl’s eyes-you can actually see the whites and irises.  

Paint and color application is clean, well defined and flat with not color variations.

Articulation and joints are tight, have no rough edge and move easily.

The figures stand easily on their own in various poses with no additional support.

The Superman/Bizarro twin-pack boasts the same attention to detail, multiple articulation points, crisp and clean color application and excellent sculpting.

Both figures come with fists clenched.  Superman is dressed in his trademark blue, red and yellow attire with excellent articulation, superb body and head sculpts and nice paint application-especially on the figures’ faces.

The Bizarro figure is a bulked up version of Superman but with a slightly darker color scheme for his outfit and a reverse Superman logo on his chest.

Bizarro’s face is gray and snarling.  His angular features contrast Superman’s more handsome features.

There’s nice color application on each figure’s face, especially around the eyes and mouths.

Figures stand easily on their own with no assistance.

Superman’s symbol is on the lower left corner of the bubble pack with the DC Super Heroes types vertical on the left.

Some of Superman, Supergirl, Doomsday and Bizarro single figures are showcased on the back of the bubble pack.
