“Run, Barry!”
McFarlane Toys unleashed a wonderful Barry Allen figure this year. Nope, it wasn’t based upon the image of Ezra Miller nor was it modeled after any of the recent Flash comics. It’s based on Grant Gustin’s portrayal of the character from the seventh season of the CW series, The Flash.
This figure looks amazing. The likeness of Grant Gustin is excellent. The figure mold looks wonderful as well. It looks as if it were taken right off of the television series. Everything from the texture of the suit to the lightning bolt emblem is well done.
The figure comes with the standard DC base and a collector card. It also comes with two speed force lightning “bolts” that Barry can hold and one speed force accessory that can be attached to his chest. The chest piece is a bit awkward, but the bolts look pretty cool.
The figure’s articulation is pretty solid. It’s some of the best that I’ve seen on a McFarlane DC Multiverse figure in a long time. The figure’s joints are stiff, but not so tight that I was ever worried that I might break them. The POAs in the feet, in particular the ankles, were the only POAs that I found with the potential to be too weak in the long run. For now, they hold in place.
If you are looking for an excellent Grant Gustin-based figure, this is the one that I’d go with if I were you. It looks great and is perfect for posing. I currently have my figure on display at my office. He looks awesome.
Thanks for checking out my post. Believe it or not, I have more figure reviews waiting in the wings! See you again real soon!
