WM504 - Reverse Flash (Daniel West) (New 52)
WM505 - Reverse Flash (Daniel West) (Futures End)
They both come with their electric accessories that make it seem like they're moving really fast when they're holding them backwards.
They're mostly good but there are some quality control issues with tiny scratches being present here and there, one of them is on the face of WM505.. Though the biggest issue is that the helmets are thicker than how they are with the original. The original ones from Christo have sleeker helmets that make them look like they're not helmets.. Well, for a fraction of the price, that's what wwew get.
Sorry for the slightly slanted picture, but here are the faces wwithout the helmets. Again, the helmets could've been better, but WM still did a pretty decent job at least especially considering the price.
WM504, WM505 Grading
Plastic Quality: 4/5
I had no issues with the plastic quality, even the helmets felt good and those antenna-like parts on the helmet felt solid too. The base minifigs are also pretty decent.
Print Quality: 4/5
Prints were also pretty good for the most part. I gotta commend WM for being able to print out yellow designs on a black body! Great job, even TLG has trouble with that. It's getting a 4 though since we've seen better WM prints in the past and we have some quality control issues like that horrible dot on WM505's face..
Build Quality: 5/5
The base minifigs have no problem with articulation and all that, and even the helmet fits nicely. I was gonna lower the grade to 4 here because of the helmet's design being not as accurate to the source design, but I'll just take note of that below.
Design Choice: 4.5/5
Brands aren't always into creating new characters mainly because they don't wanna invest in new molds, but WM here finds a way and recreates these guys to us! This would've been a 5/5 for the Design Choice, but it's still not as good as the source design!
So yeah, let's not forget to at least give credit to Christo, the designer of these figs. Also, if you want the best quality, it's always gonna be the original.
