Imaginext DC Super Friends XL!

Look! Up In The Sky!!!

Imaginext just released three awesome new action figures in their new DC Super Friends XL line. Based on their smaller counterparts, these three figures tower over other Imaginext toys at around ten inches tall. The first three characters to be released are Superman, Batman, and The Flash.

I was fortunate enough to acquire two of the figures, Batman and Superman, for review, and I have nothing but positive things to say about both figures.

These figures are essentially a supersized version of the traditional Imaginext figures. They feature the exact same articulation at the wrists, neck, arms, and legs as their smaller versions and have basically the same character design. The only things that I noticed different about the XL figures is that they are missing the foot holes that the smaller figures have and they appear to be made of a much harder plastic.

The packaging for the XL figures is very simple but extremely cool. The figures are fastened to a card back with a small “DC Super Friends” cardboard base. What makes the packaging so cool, though, is the bright artwork on the back. I’m tempted to keep the packaging for both figures!

I will probably end up getting the Flash figure as well. These brightly colored figures and their bulky size make for great display pieces, but if you are purchasing these toys for a youngster to play with, have no fear. These figures are sturdy and will definitely be able to take any and all punishment that is thrown at them!

I’m curious as to which characters will be in the next release for this line. Will it be Wonder Woman? The Joker? Harley Quinn? Possibly Cyborg or maybe Lex Luthor? All I know is that I’ll probably start purchasing more Imaginext figures as they become available.
