Thought I'd mention to anyone interested in getting these, Mattel still sell them directly for a decent price. Here's Firestorm for $20. shop.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ms/dc-universe-firestorm-figure-bhg77 I'm tempted myself but other things are more tempting right now :D
Aww, thanks. :) I wasn't even looking for them, particularly, but they're there! Confusingly they're not listed as Total Heroes on the Mattel site (which is annoying). Green Lantern: shop.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ms/dc-universe-toys/dc-universe-green-lantern-corps-figure-bhg75 Cyborg: shop.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ms/dc-comics-total-heroes-ultra-cyborg-figure-bhg79 Black Manta: shop.mattel.com/shop/en-us/ms/dc-universe-black-manta-figure-bhg76 Doesn't look like Hawkman is available, so off to eBay for that (and others!). Edit: Hawkman on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Comics-Heroes-Hawkman-Action-Figure/dp/B00OCK8O3O I'll stop now :D
I don't know why this 3 year old video came up on my feed, but it was fun to watch. Kid oriented lines are not really my thing as a collector, but once in awhile they manage to hit the right nostalgia mark, and end up being cool enough to end up in the displays of many a jaded collector. I never did collect these, but I always found it interesting how often these would come up in my searches. For the past few years I've been on a mission to collect all the DC Direct, DCUC and Matty Collector figures that appeal to my weird brain. One of my proudest accomplishments was putting together the entire Blackest Night/Brightest Day series, minus the color variant, con exclusive Hal Jordans. Sorry, people, they just aren't worth THAT much. But I digress. My point, if anyone is still reading, is after whittling down a list of well over a hundred figures to less than a handful, I never stopped finding Total Heroes listings in my results. I think that speaks to the universal appeal of the line that makes it a cool collectible for fans of all ages.
It was a great line!!! It had so much potential. If you can get the Wonder Woman that came at the very end of the line. There’s also a four pack with the riddler. I just wish with so many batman variants , they would have done a classic superman. They had the bizzaro that was classic. Plus would have been so easy for reverse flash. Great job Brad!!!!
I agree about Revers Flash and Superman. A kitbash of Supes should be pretty easy though. A Bizarro belt and some red paint with some flash paint around his neck and it could happen.
Hey wish I had found this channel awhile ago, I too am DC fan. Seen a few of your vids and I'm really happy that there is someone who only does DC figures. All the other reviewers are more "Marvel" than DC, keep up the great work man!
Ocean Master? In 550 years I've never heard of Ocean Master before. I'm Ocean man hear my baleful cry as I alert the schools of flaming piranha's to catch all the foxy bitches.
I really enjoy these figures. I have the black and gray batman,sinestro, bizzaro,steel and mr. freeze. They do all have the same body mold aside from Luther freeze and firestorm who share the same buck but they do complement each other well and they look good on display.
4yrs later.... Black Manta and Batman Beyond are expensive... and these are supposed to be for kids... not at those prices...I seen one for $135 ... crazy
great looking figures, one thing that i notice when you say that this line is for kids im agree but if you collect figures would be from adult collectors or simple toys is just that, toys i liked it but there are toys. It makes me laugh that some collectors do not accept that despite everything they are toys and only that
Another great video. Thank you for giving DC fans DC love. On Cyborg that is not metallic paint. Its a more expensive process call vac metallization or chroming. The 80s Superpowers line produced an all chromed Cyborg that is the holy grail of the American Superpowers releases, ie. super expensive. The Total Heroes Cyborg is an homage to that Superpowers release. Just with a limited amount of chroming, 😞.
I wasn’t totally sure if it really was back or paint. It seemed like paint to me but then again I never actually owned the Super Powers Cyborg. He always evaded my DC loving grasp.
Love these figures, but why are they so expensive online if they are for kids? After your video i looked on ebay over here in the UK and a Sinestro figure is going for about £60..... crazy!
I can find them fairly cheap here in Canada. Some of them are more expensive but that’s because of limited availability due to the line being defunct. There is a pinned comment at the top to some links for them.
I feel your pain about being in Canada man legends go for 30$ here and those are old peg warmers to boot same with multiverse 30$ im in edmonton alberta how about you if you don't mind me asking im originally from thunder bay Ontario which is dive lol
Greetings Mr. The DC Universe Geek, that green lantern total heroes line is 15 bucks on amazon. Maybe worth a looksee for you extra or two for the green lanterns. Anyhow thanks for all your content
OK so guys I don't know when the lex luthor a total hero figure came out with the Superman and bat man to a 3 pack but those legs and the arms are actually the same body as my lex luthor on cyberborg
that hawk man is such a let down no weapons or anything besides wings also at some point some these figures were going for double the amount any reason why?

That black manta head piece helmet armor is AWESOME I want to put it on a custom
I'm glad you are doing a video on these, these are some of my favorite figures from mattel.
They just have that carefree kid collector feeling. I love these.
These are actually pretty cool figures. Never seem them before

Firestorm, Supergirl & White Cannary should have been In Young Justice

It is called a two bladed gun
Thank you. 👍
These do look cool

So many action figures, so little time...🤔
Very good video !!!
Thanks!!

FYI... green lantern also said adult collector atop the box lol

Those lines on Hawkman are battle scars !
He earned them well! Hahaha!
Manta's gun looks like a... blaster? I don't play Halo -- what do they call high tech pistols over there? let's go with whatever that is.
That black manta gun looks like starlords gun.... i guess its for when he cosplays as the gaurdian of the galaxy himself
Omg you’re right one of my kids has Star Lord and you’re right. Lol.
I would remove the head of Cyborg and put anything else as a Substitute

Brad The DC Universe Geek just my luck, excludes shipping international.....yea thanks Mattel 😔
Thanks for the link anyway Brad and Stephen 👍
Sorry man. As a Canadian I feel your pain. There are all kinds of places that won't ship to Canada.

I thought king shark is a flash enamy
Axe mattel to do a blue beetle accessories pack
Yeah
What happened to the batman beyond figure from this line you got him already he looks awesome
I actually don’t have Terry yet. One of the few. Soon hopefully.
that hawk man is such a let down no weapons or anything besides wings also at some point some these figures were going for double the amount any reason why?
How well do these figs scale up with multiverse figs
It is a gun
Axe mattel to do blue beetle
👍🏿👍🏿
Even after all these years the way you just rip open the packaging makes me VERY nervous
Seek help.
Cyborg dam
🙂👍🏽📽
I like the packaging more than the figure.
Not my cup of tea brother. DC Direct or DC Collectibles are the bomb. Mattel is pretty much for kiddies. Once in a blue moon they do something right.
