Shazam (Shazam! Movie)


When Billy Batson says the magic word "Shazam!" he is instantly transformed into the World's Mightiest Mortal!


DC's Shazam movie was better than I expected and certainly enjoyed the lighter tone compared to the dreariness of most of the previous DC offerings. The basic line of movie figures are very colourful which is a bonus for me and they come with rubbery, sticky, "Power Slinger" versions of the Seven Deadly Sins. In this case we get "Wrath."






Not as advanced likeness technology as the Marvel Legends, but also smaller scale and lower price point.


The textures are pretty well replicated, but the design does feel a bit busy.





All the basic joints are there with decent ranges of motion.






Ok, I do like the little lightning bolt on the side of the boots.


The short cape is fun, though I'm not overly fond of the hood.




Can't quite do the classic Superman pose.

"Lightning from my hands!"


It's Captain Sparklefingers, Thundercrack, Mr. Philadelphia, Power Boy, ZAP-tain America...

...Red Cyclone, Maximum Voltage, Sir Zaps-a-lot, Human Powerstorm!

He can groove!


Face the wrath of Wrath!





Honestly this gooey blob looks as good or better than the monster in the film.








The mainstays of the Marvel Family that's no longer going to be called the Marvel Family.




"CRACK-A-BOOM!"

  1. Nice poppin' colours on these figures! I agree with the deadly sins comment...those power slinger figures aren't any worse.
