 Hey guys welcome back to come again John wise here Shannon and I are going to share this review of the DC universe Classics DC Comics 75 years superpowers green lanterns light 5-pack so this was available a few years ago during DC's 75th anniversary and This was a Walmart exclusive as you can tell here by the sticker And this was an awesome pack because this gave us some figures that we didn't have yet in the DC universe Classics line it gave us to Maury It gave us a green lantern version of Sinestro, which I believe at the time We only had the black and yellow or the purple and yellow costume version Of course we had a repaint of the Hal Jordan figure that we already had such as this one here The only difference is between this one and this one in the five pack. However, as you'll see has The white streaks in the hair So that was just before he became parallax, which is really cool. We also have a John Stewart that's In his alternate up costume there and of course fan-favored guy Gardner so This is where Shannon's gonna go ahead and take over and guys so please forgive the shrewdness of this portion of the video I'll be reviewing the packaging pretty much via photos since John didn't really go over that I received my five pack from my brother-in-law and sister-in-law a few years ago for Christmas And I have to say that I spent quite a while just examining the packaging Before I even open it up, of course the DC Universe Classics 20 line was completely sculpted By four horsemen studios and produced by Mattel. They were first available in 2008 and this one as John said was a Walmart exclusive. So let's go ahead and go over the packaging Shall we I really like the backdrop that Mattel used for this five pack very green lantern Esk the style in which they pose these guys in the packaging is very iconic with Hal Jordan Posing as if he's charging from his power battery and the other four green lanterns Looking as if they're flying in different poses each of which pose directly next to their power battery on the left side You see a nice little collage of different DC Universe characters posing in green light Superman at the top Joker and Wonder Woman Sinestro flash cyborg dark side Jade Catwoman ultra human night Martian man hunter Hank Henshaw the cyborg Superman and Blue beetle then down below we see that it was produced by Mattel and that some pieces may be choking hazard On the right hand side. We have more DC Universe characters in green lanterns light Batman at the top Lex Luzer how Jordan gigantic firestorm I'm not entirely sure who that is with the beard But then we have Vixen dead man the question specter is a ton of another character I can't really tell and then finally two-faced with of course the Mattel logo in the lower corner as We move on to the back We see each figure posing next to a green lantern comic book with their own bios down below each DC Universe logo at the top followed immediately by the green lantern oath in brightest day in blackest night No evil shall escape my sight let those who worship evils might be where my power Green lanterns light so on the left hand side We have John stir standing next to an issue of the green lantern corpse comic book The issue shown is said to be the 1986 collector's item premier issue of the green lantern corpse But it's actually green lantern volume 2 Number 201 with story by Steve Engelhardt. I do have this issue in my personal collection So if you would like me to do a comic book review on it at some point Then please let me know in the comments below for the sake of timing I'm gonna refrain from reading the bios for each character and just move right along to the next one below John We have Guy Gardner who is also presented next to an issue of the green lantern comics Which is yet another one that I have in my personal collection from February 1986 Green Lantern volume 2 number 197 the explosive Confrontation you demanded Green Lantern versus Green Lantern as you can see we have Guy Gardner and John Stuart at odds About ready to fight with a depowered how Jordan between them saying up guys Maybe we could talk to us over and once again if you'd like to see a review of that issue Or any others presented on here in the future. Let me know in the comments below Moving across we have Green Lantern Sinestro standing next to a copy of Green Lantern Emerald Dawn number six written by Keith Giffin and Gerard Jones Which retold the origin of how Jordan as a Green Lantern for the new continuity Established by crisis on infinite Earths Unfortunately, I actually don't have this issue, but I do plan on buying it in the future So if you want me to review that six-part story and compare it to the original Silver Age story Then leave me a comment below and I'll fast-track that Moving on up We have Tomah Ray next to a copy of Green Lantern Sinestro core secret files and origins number one and then in the center how Jordan next to a copy of Green Lantern volume 3 number One from June 1990 which apparently is the return of how Jordan as a Green Lantern After being away from the core for an extended period of time and he's joined on the cover by Guy Gardner and John Stuart This issue was written by Gerard Jones So now guys, let's go ahead and take a look at the figures inside As you can see here it comes with Tomah Ray, Sinestro, how Jordan, John Stuart and Guy Gardner Now these guys all pretty much have the same sculpt with the exception of their heads and Guy Gardner Guy His arms and legs are pretty much the same sculpt, but as you'll notice he is a little bit taller And he's got this Rubbery plastic vest going on. All right guys honestly They could have taken a little bit more time on this sculpt of Guy Gardner The body is fine In my opinion. The only thing that even remotely makes it look like Guy Is the hairstyle? They just they kind of made his face too square and blockish His chin kind of protruding out. He actually looks more like Willem Dafoe than Guy Gardner The vest is kind of a rubbery plastic very similar to many of the old-school capes that we got from the Superman and Batman lines of the late 90s. It looks like they may have just slid it over the plastic body Before they put the arms on. It's not glued in place Doesn't appear to be and I don't think No, you can't really take it off either unless you want to remove the figures arms and Maybe risk tearing it. It is just a plain black plain black underneath It is not the same torso sculpt as the other ones considering Guy's neck piece has more of a Sailor's turtleneck style going for it The paint job is pretty good. I would say that the forest green shade Does go well with Guy Gardner I like the little white stripe He's got going down the side and The stud the silver colored studs and buckle on his jacket His head Is on kind of a ball joint can look up Slightly down about that far turn all the way around The collar does not hinder it at all His arms can go up to about there Down up about there Back down single joint at the elbow Shoulder swivel then you got the wrist swivel waist Can't turn all the way around Legs can go up that far Back that far Knee single joint thigh swivel Can go out to the little split motion and you've got an ankle rocker No side tilt just forward and backward and Guy Gardner like the others did come with See if I can get a power battery Now just like in the previous review This powder this power battery is solid on the inside. No lens or anything like that Still very nice and I'm glad they changed the color to be more of a metallic green for this one as opposed to the lime green of the Hal Jordan Avenue sir power battery now let's go ahead and take a look at John Stewart all right guys here. We are John's with John Stewart. This is one of his I think is second Design for his uniform. It's got the thin green The land massive lantern symbol in the middle the white around the edges Very reminiscent of parallax And then it comes down very narrowly down the abs into the trunks Now with this John Stewart since they were going this route with the figure I Don't think they should have gave him the Military style cut since this is obviously the 1970s and and Maybe early 80s version of the costume. I Think they should have really gave him the Short Afro that he had while during the time that he wore this costume. I Could be mistaken in fact, let me check on that real all right guys So I wasn't really able to find this exact costume I was able to find one similar to it from Green Lantern Corps of the 1970s However, it had the smaller Green Lantern symbol in the center, but it was narrow just like this But in that one he did have the short Afro rather than the military cut, but overall not bad see if I can get it to focus. There we go. I Really think they should have taken that extra step and given him the bright green eyes Like the John Stewart from The animated series, but still not bad He does have the same articulation as Guy Gardner His head is a little stiffer though It doesn't seem to go up or down as much as Guy Gardner's did And it does turn all the way around It probably doesn't help though that These have been sitting in a box because I have nowhere to display him right now So that could have stiffened up the articulation But his arm does go up to there Turn around goes all the way above his head. He does have Bicep Swivel a single elbow joint wrist articulation ab crunch waist swivel Which actually sure if I Yeah, Guy Gardner did have the ad crunch as well. It's just Not as articulating because of the vest waist swivel Leg go up out to there Go for up to there Back to there thigh swivel single knee joint and ankle rocker and The detail on his ring very nice This is another figure. I don't mind that they did the forest green look for him For this costume now if it were one of the newer costumes for John Stewart I would have liked to see more of an emerald green slime green style look Or paint job But that one's not bad and it comes with the exact same lantern as Guy Gardner In fact since we took a look at his ring Let's take a look at Guy's ring and his ring if you notice Not very well-designed. It just kind of Looks like a paint blob really let's move him out of the way and then we'll take a look at Sinestro all right guys, so here we have Sinestro as you can see he comes with the exact same power battery as the others So we'll go ahead and get that out of the way Can see his widow peak here they did a pretty good job with that Even though it is slightly crooked the mustache They really should have painted a thinner style mustache on him Because even in the 70s 80s He still had a very slim mustache almost a French mustache really and his head his forehead is bigger Than the others really and And that's to be expected because that's how he was in the comic and the paint job on his face Very nice. He does have the bright green eyes that I wish they would have done on John Stewart He does have all the exact same Articulation as the other one, so I'm gonna refrain from going over that but I would like would have liked to see him maybe in a possibly a brighter costume not exactly Emerald or slime green But not as dark and muted as forest green either. Maybe like a happy medium in Between there. I think that would have looked really good on this Sinestro And now we'll take a look at Tomar Ray Again power battery exact same. Oh I keep forgetting. Why don't you guys keep reminding me? We have Sinestro's powering it is slightly better than John Stewart's I mean guy gardeners But not my not by much So before I get on forget on this guy, let's take a look at his powering. It's pretty much exactly the same Little bit better detail a little bit better paint job Not bad And again, he has the exact same articulation exact same body sculpt just different head And his head does go up and down. It's stiff right now His fin here it's made out of more of a more pliable rubbery plastic Which is really nice pointed ears Nice color Green Lantern mask Sorry guys. I got the windows open. I Don't have a basement like other youtubers do so You're gonna get some background noises. They could have maybe done his beak a different shade Maybe a lighter shade of the skin tone I think that would have looked a little bit better instead. It just the same paint job I Understand they had to do it that way to keep prices down, but I think even adding just a little bit Different shade it wouldn't brought prices up that much. I mean look You got a slight darker shade here at the bottom of the fin Overall, not a bad figure. They did change that paint the inside of his mouth a darker shade kind of a maroonish and The detail they put into on his fin It's very nice So there's Tom Array and now let's move on to the final figure in the set. All right guys here We have how Jordan? You will notice exact same articulation exact same body sculpt exact same battery Exact same power ring The only thing different is the head His head does rock up and down side to side like the others you can't see he has the graying on his temples Free parallax however, I guess you could say he was Infected by parallax at this time It just hadn't made its presence known yet again with this how Jordan I would have liked to see maybe maybe the same style green as I Wanted for a sinestro Not as dark as this forest green, but also not as bright as Emerald or slime green either just like a happy medium. This is a More veteran more seasoned how Jordan He's slowly becoming parallax, you know, they would have just made him look a lot better if they did a Slightly brighter green. Yeah, let's go ahead and compare him with the how Jordan from the DC universe classics Abin sir Green Lantern two-pack and you will see pretty much the same exact head sculpt except This how Jordan Sides of his hair are Darkened Also, if you'll notice the skin tone on the face Faces This one's plain looking this one actually looks more leathery really shinier and The different paint job. This was how's first costume so it doesn't come over the shoulders like this how it does got the black outline to the Land to the lantern symbol This one though, I would have liked to see a brighter green done on him I can understand why they would do the forest cream because that was the shade of green that they used back then For him though, I would have liked maybe just a little bit Lighter shade. All right guys here. We are as you can see They their power batteries do fit rather nicely in their hands They can hold them without work risk of them falling out overall. I wasn't that impressed with this line Guy Gardner would probably be the exception. I I don't really like when toy lines use the exact same sculpt Across the board on their action figures because they might as well just give us one figure with four different heads overall, I'd probably rank this maybe a seven out of ten And again, they look at how Guy Gardner just kind of towers over all the others I don't really care for that. It makes him it makes him look too hulkish really He should be about the same size as the others. He actually looks more like a class to a classic cartoon villain in this toy line Not really impressed on his own. He is an okay figure But when he's lined up next to the other figures in the line Not really that great.
