The Superman, despite being a tad on the angry side is one step closer to having an iconic DCUC Superman. The line started off with Electric, than went long hair and regeneration suit, we&#8217;re getting closer all the time. As for Brainiac, fans have been clamoring for the Pre-Crisis version of Brainiac for years. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"reviews\/images\/brainiac1.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The Superman is the same as the recent Wave 6 Superman with the short haired head of the Eradicator figure (but\u00a0without the peg holes for the visor). I&#8217;m still not a fan of that version of the cape (it pulls away from the body as it goes back, taking up shelf space) and this one will probably need a little glue at the shoulders to stay down. The symbol on this version is sharp though. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"reviews\/images\/brainiac2.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Brainiac features a Mattel buck body with a new collar and a new head. Some photos show the arms and torso as different shades of pink\/purple, but the set I received matched and I used some independent lighting to try and prevent the flash from\u00a0altering the colors. The only accessory is a repackage of Luthor&#8217;s kryptonite gun, but without any kryptonite. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"reviews\/images\/brainiac3.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Overall, it&#8217;s a solid set and this version of Brainiac makes DCUC Collectors one step closer to the first complete Legion of Doom and thus able to recreate the classic Cartoon Network skit about Brainiac &#8220;just needing a decent pair of pants&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"reviews\/images\/brainiac4.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>These sets are currently available at different online retailers and in slated to be appearing at Toys R Us in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"reviews\/images\/brainiac5.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/spacer.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[6,34,10],"tags":[49,15,2557,20,2569,50,2560],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pObc6-8","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1254,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=1254","url_meta":{"origin":8,"position":0},"title":"Friday Five 8\/21: Links You Need to Know About","date":"August 21, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Customs&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":32712,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=32712","url_meta":{"origin":8,"position":1},"title":"DCClassics.com Review  Multiverse Superman  DKR 30th Anniversary","date":"March 28, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/superheader.jpg?fit=320%2C240&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":32679,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=32679","url_meta":{"origin":8,"position":2},"title":"Toy Fair Armchair Coverage Mattel&#8217;s DC Multiverse Lives On","date":"February 16, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_0160.jpg?fit=960%2C960&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":3034,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=3034","url_meta":{"origin":8,"position":3},"title":"Retro Review: DC Classics Wave 6 (Kalibak)","date":"December 21, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;DCClassics.Com&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":4573,"url":"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=4573","url_meta":{"origin":8,"position":4},"title":"ItsAllTrueReview: DC Classics vs. MOTU Classics 2pks","date":"March 24, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"Joe vs. Cobra.
