POGO PG331, PG333, PG336: The Rival (Flash) Iron Man Mk. V, and Joker (Joe) Minifigs Review

First saw the preview here!


PG333 - Iron Man Mk. V 
PG336 - Joker (Joe Variant)

Two okay quality figs. One meh design and one must-have design. Yes, we've seen Mk V Iron Man lots of times already but as far as I know, this is the only Joe Joker we have and he's a real thing in the comics. 

Quality wise, the two are what you'd usually expect from POGO. A bit cheap looking and feeling plastic and print that is hit or miss. For instance, Iron Man's prints are just bad in my opinion. The lines aren't as sharp and aren't as defined as other Iron Man figs. Joe Joker's print on the other hand is much better.

Joker also gets side prints, surprisingly. What sucks are the slapped on sleeves though, they didn't even try to fake-dual mold it.

A look at the back. The text on Joker's back is something I dislike though. The nature of the font prevented some of the letters from being clear like the letter A for example. Maybe it would've been better if they added outlines?

These are the accessories they came with. Joe's tool is the first time I've seen it in bootlego while the Iron Man suitcase has been seen lots of times. 

Moving on, a separate section for Rival because I took the pics separately. He came with an extra wing thing for his helmet which is great since these things are hard to insert and might be prone to breaking or snapping. Thanks POGO, for anticipating that. Hopefully you guys got extras too.

You might think he's identical to POGO's Jay Garrick, but really he's not. Jay Garrick's legs for example are much better and more detailed than Rival's.

The legs' prints are also horrible.. The yellow on the torso is a bit too weak, meaning it's not as bright as we'd prefer.

The sides.

The back. No back leg printing, they didn't even try anymore, lol!

Rival's an okay fig, but I loved Jay Garrick and it kinda sucks that they weren't able to replicate the effect Jay Garrick had. Maybe that's also good though, since at least they didn't just re-release Garrick with a different head. 

Next up on my reviews from my last AngeloMarcus Greenhills hauls is the POGO Overwatch set. Maybe about 10 hours from now since I have a test that I have to continue studying for in a few hours! Haha
