DC Collectibles TV: Arrow & The Flash Action Figure (2 Pack)

These are some of the best figures produced in the DC/CW line. I went in specifically for the Arrow figure, as it was the only one I could find of him in this costume that wasn’t a static statue. The sculpt of his face is exceptionally amazing, as is the rest of the figure, and his articulation is better than any other Arrow figure I’ve seen in the line.Flash looks good at face value, but I’m not sure I like how they colored his lips specifically on the face. Neck’s also a little beefy. Aside, the figure’s suit is beautifully textured as you’d think it was from watching the show.Posing-wise, Green Arrow’s only difficulty is getting the pull string on his bow (which IS flexible) to hold in place in his hand. I also wish they would’ve included a few more arrows or a bunch-together to fit into his quiver; otherwise it’s rather undecorative. As for Flash, he’s honestly boring to look at if he’s in any other pose that’s not running. There IS a hole at the bottom of one of his feet for a figure posing stand, but with not one of those included, it’s kind of a moot addition. I’ve got him leaning against one of my Play Arts Kai figures until I can get a cheap figure stand in the meantime.Added features include a mask-less head for Flash, which includes a separate wrap for around the neck to give the illusion of a downed mask. Green Arrow comes with his bow, and three (especially fragile) arrows: one regular, two trick arrows (one of which has no tip, odd choice to me). Both figures include 2 extra sets of hands as well.Now for everyone’s reference: it’s important to know that these aren’t made to be “toys,” they’re “collectibles” to display. A lot of reviews I saw on here complained that their figures broke when they were trying to pose them, but these are built solidly. Their only issues are incompetence and unnecessary roughhousing with their figures. So handle these with care.Overall, these figures are excellent additions to my ever-expanding figure collection, and are most definitely worth their value. I’m sad I didn’t know of these figures when they first came out, would’ve preferred to get them back when they were around only $50.

I have to say this set is awesome, but I do have some issues with it. I've gone through 1 return with this set and it's because the hands snapped right at the base of the pegs. HEAT ALL THE HANDS WITH A BLOWDRYER. Loose them up before really doing anything, oh and the ball joint for the Flashes head keeps popping out when I try to change heads, you have to take pliers and remove the ball joint from the head each time.

The picture the product shows doesn't do it justice because these are AWESOME! The level of detail for Arrow is off the hook. He has three arrows, an awesome bow and three different hands you can interchange. Changing the hands can be slightly difficult but just use even pressure to pull out the old ones and put in the new ones. If you are careful it's no real problem. His feet don't seem to move like Flash's feet so it too me a bit to get him in the right position to stand. Once you get it right though he looks amazing. The Flash comes with two heads, one with his cowl down and you can see his face and the other with the cowl on. They should show you that in the image above. He too comes with three different hand selections and you use the same technique to swap them out. I don't know why they both default to have the fist hands installed as they can't hold anything. I'm not even sure why they make fist hands for these things in general. It's only fun with you can pose them holding stuff. Flash has an extra thigh swivel that Arrow doesn't which makes it easy to get him to stand. Arrow has chunky boots on though which gives Arrow more stability overall. All in all I was VERY pleased with this. I looked at this for months before finally breaking down and buying it. If it had better pictures of the product in it's packaging I probably would have bought it sooner. The action figures are of a high quality and I'm very pleased. Please note, I've seen some people complain about breaking a leg when getting the figures out. There are TWO ties holding these figures in, one wire one that is very obvious around their middle and a second clear rubber band around both their legs you should cut before taking them out. I didn't see the rubber bands at first, it makes it a lot easier to get them out without the bands. The manufacturer went the extra mile and put a piece of plastic around the ties that hold their middle to ensure it doesn't rub the finish on the figure. That was a really nice touch I appreciated.

Green Arrow's bow broke in half when I first put it in his hand. Amazon quickly replaced the item(s). Overall they look great, but are a bit fragile. They're also a little hard to make stand up.

The attention to detail on both figures is ludicrously superb and the head sculpts capture the likenesses to Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin wonderfully. The Flash figure is just a repaint but it is far superior to its predecessor with a new interchangeable head. The Green Arrow figure is the best one DC collectibles has released in the Arrow series with more articulated movement and multiple sets of hands to switch out. Definitely a must have set for anyone collecting figures in the CWverse.

I am very frustrated with these products. My son started watching the flash tv show and wanted the action figures to play with. He is 10 yrs old and takes care of his toys. We had the action figures for 3 days and the Arrow figure fell from a chair to the floor and the leg broke at the joint. He opened his reverse flash figure that he got today and in moving the leg to see how they move the joint snapped. I have spent $80 on four action figures to have two broken and not repairable. I am highly disappointed in the quality of these action figures!

Excellent figures. Very good articulation on both of them. Only problem was when flash's head came off, the ball joint came off too. After a bit it was fixed and all is well.
