The two-pack features the first ever Alexander Luthor figure and only the second figure of Superman&#8217;s Earth-3 counterpart, Ultraman. <!--more--><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/reviews\/images\/earththree1.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"Ultraman and Alexander Luthor\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nUltraman was a difficult figure for Mattel and the Four Horsemen to conquer because of the unique raised collarbone on his costume. As a workaround to still use the buck body, an extra piece has been added to the torso to simulate the effect. It doesn&#8217;t work great from all angles, but the actual costume probably wouldn&#8217;t look any less awkward. Ultraman also features an all-new, sneering head. He&#8217;ll be the angriest guy on your DCUC shelf guaranteed.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/reviews\/images\/earththree2.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"Ultraman and Alexander Luthor\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The Alexander Luthor is the true prize in this 2-pack. I never imagined that I&#8217;d have or even want a figure of the Earth-3 &#8220;good&#8221; Luthor. Even when it was announced, I wasn&#8217;t completely sold. But once again, the 4H are able to make some of the silliest designs really sing. From the texture of his beard to the visible stitching in the L on his chest, the Luthor figure really shows what can be done in this line even with the heavy reuse of parts. <\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/reviews\/images\/earththree3.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"Alexander Luthor\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.itsalltrue.net\/reviews\/images\/earththree4.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"Alexander Luthor\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Overall, this 2-pack is another great piece for DCUC Collectors. The choice may seem a bit obscure, but if these figures are the beginning of a complete DCUC Crime Syndicate, toy shelves everywhere will be a bit brighter for it. <\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/reviews\/images\/elex12.jpg\" style=\"color:#ff0000\">Click here for an ItsAllTrue Short<\/a><\/h3>\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":[52,15,2557,20,2569,2560,51],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pObc6-n","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14250,"url":"https:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?p=14250","url_meta":{"origin":23,"position":0},"title":"DC Universe Classics Crime Syndicate of Amerika Review","date":"August 31, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"One of the nice things about Walmart picking up DC Universe Classics has been their insistence on having an annual multi-pack on their shelves.
