Let's start off with Flash and Dark Archer's accessories. Overgirl doesn't have any. I would also understand if Flash didn't come with any accessories, but it's great that XINH decided to include those orange blast pieces. Those pieces can always be used for other MOCs or dioramas since there are lots of energy/fire based characters anyway.
Now for the figs themselves. I have no complaints but one, kinda, below. Maybe I would've preferred Overgirl's mask to be more grey than blue, but I didn't really see her on TV so who am I to desire. Other than that, these guys are great.
That one complaint: maybe Flash's face print could've been placed a bit higher? Or maybe just his eyes? It aligns well enough with the mask, but not perfectly. Though I would highly prefer this than SY's older frog-eyed minifigs.
Great amount of details on the sides for all three, even on Flash's helmet. I didn't have any issues with the gold paint on the helmet ears, though do be aware that some of your figs might have this issue since these are bootleg anyway.
View of the back. Nothing much to talk about. All good again.
Without their headgear. A better look at Flash's somewhat off-looking face. I love the Dark Archer's face too since it's such a generic head that it can be reused as a ninja or a robber or whatever else your imagination might get you.
Alternate face for Flash. I never followed the show anymore until maybe like the 3rd season because I think it got a bit too cheesy, but I believe that alternate face is Savitar? Great work on it, XINH. Oh, and of course a regular girl face for Supergirl.
Now for Deadshot (CW), Oswald (Gotham), and Jerome (Gotham). Deadshot comes with a sniper rifle, something he's known for. Penguin comes with an opened umbrella which is a plate/saucer piece printed on with an umbrella design with a stick piece stuck inside the hole in the middle. Then a revolver for Jerome.
No issues with the quality here too. One thing worth noting is that while I was building Oswald, the actual hair piece and the hair printed on the head looked a bit off, though I understood what they were trying to do. Now though, looking at it in picture and from afar, the seamlessness is more visible. I do hope other designers learn from this since it's a good way to work around mold limitations sometimes. Glad that XINH was able to get the color and alignment right though.
Leyilebrick did a fantastic job on Deadshot, like they do on most of their figs. While all three of them look great, Deadshot's sides have great detail with extra pouches and bullet belts.
No alternate faces for them all.
Now for Heat Wave and Vibe. Vibe comes with these special round dish pieces similar to Doctor Strange's magic pieces with a ring/holder attached to it. Could be a useful accessory even for Marvel fans, for when, for example, Doctor Strange uses blue colored spells. Heat Wave disappointingly comes with a plain old pistol; wish they made a different mold or at least built extra stuff on it to make it look more like his heat gun.
No issues here again on print and plastic. Though I gotta admit that the proportions on their faces look a bit off.. I don't think it ruins them in general though.
Body side prints for Heat Wave too. Great job again, XINH and more importantly Leyilebrick.
Better proportions for Vibe's regular face? I prefer the main face though.
Another great set from XINH. Here's to hoping they make more new characters than remakes though. Though remake or not, I'll try my best to review them as long as AngeloMarcus Greenhills gets them in stock!
