I think I've seen a couple of the DC Super-Heroes figures pegged at Six Flags when I was young. Aww, those were the good ol' days I remember from childhood. Especially seeing them from like a Superman/Batman themed gift shop from memory.
Boy I can remember being a kid growing up during the 70's, when Mego's Superheroes were the must have action figures to need. I loved them, except for one thing. The logos of almost every figure was a sticker. Only 🕷🕸Spider-Man's🕸🕷 🕷spider🕷 logo was sewn into the fabric. Otherwise Superman's \S/, Batman's 🦇, Robin's ®️, even Aquaman's /\ was a sticker. Captain America's ⭐Star⭐, and the Fantastic Four's 4️⃣ was an adhesive sticker too. Iron-Man's blaster was a disc that was sewn on, but the yellow dot inside of the disc, was a sticker too. They were still the best toy back then! Except for one other thing. While they did make a lot of the heroes, many of the villains didn't get a figure. Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, some heroes like Black Panther, Daredevil, Flash, Hawkman, and some others were not made. When Star Wars came out, the figures size was actually kind of cool. When the Superheroes came out I was getting too old for them, and sadly I missed out on some great figures I never had as a kid.
This DC superheroes Steel still has stats in any collection to this day. We need a much needed update from Mcfarlane's DC multiverse. Love this vid!
*Started collecting DC universe classics recently. Pricey cause they’re older at this point but some of the best figures I’ve found. Might start uploading reviews for them soon.*
Great vid really enjoyed
Mission to be A Man Really? Usually when I go to a comic book store I can pick up a DCUC figure for 10 dollars. Also for collecting those type of figures I recommend not using eBay or amazon. For me Amazon and eBay are last resorts
michhunt I see them at comic shops but usually the more obscure characters or C list characters (Martian man hunter for example) where as joker or robin are more rare so you may need to look to eBay. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve only seen one or two both for like 25 bucks or up at comic shops. Then again I’m from NY where everything is expensive.
Mission to be A Man Oh. Am from Ohio I can usually get the rare characters like riddler and The joker for 25-35 dollars. Am guessing you live in NYC. Maybe try Up state New York there could be some good comic book stores up there.
michhunt nah maybe 45 mins outside the city. Either way only seen a few dcu classics. All 25 or up and not great characters. Willing to pay a bit more for the good ones. Like 30-40 bucks tops. Not a completionist, just wanna get my faves. They’re still the best line of figures I’ve found in my opinion. After tons of looking around.
Stuck around to the end. I miss this line so much.
MAN you re just too good to review figures! not only I laugh like hell, but your set, your lights and that background is great for this kind of figures, usually dark background its not that good for the camera and the figures, but with this collection in particular works so good! all of them look fantastic! thank you for showing all this, awesome video!!
As with all of your videos, watched from start to finish. This was a great video, an excellent "waste of time"!! I wish you could/would do some random, flashback/throwback reviews of old DCUC figures, standard or CNC. By far my favorite CZcamsr. The BEST!!
The supervillains will be bane, clayface, killer croc, azrale, parasite, scarecrow, cyborg superman, matello, bizarro, two face, lex luthor, mongel, doomsday, mr. Freeze, and darseid.
Hello,
Definitely stuck around to the last. Thanks for sharing, and giving us your humble opinion on each and every figure. Quite interesting! I really enjoy these videos!!
Keep up the good work! They're very informative!
I do love my DC superheroes that I collect. But I also collect Marvel as well.
You can never have too many action figures that's for sure!!
And every time I purchase one and it comes in the mail it's like Christmas all over again!!👍👍
Many thanks to ya!!

Awesome retrospective of the classic DCSH line. I had quite a few of these but sold off a lot of them a while back. Like Catwoman, Clayface, Mr. Freeze and the black and gray Bataman. But I still have the more articulated blue and gray Batman from wave 3, as well as power suite Lex, Mongul, Darkseid, Scarecrow, and Cyborg Supes. Great figures, very bad joints that get really loose over time.
Stayed till the end. The lobo figure I won from you was the last DC figure I acquired, a great one btw. Before Lobo I picked up the Doomsday from the Signature line. Used to have an extensive collection of DCUC's sadly theyre gone now. Great line. Now buying Legends
I enjoy collecting older lines via eBay and other buy/sell formats. I've recently reached the end of a couple series and now have begun dabbling in the S3 Superheroes line, so this video was tremendously helpful and informative for me. My first two are the white tshirt Supergirl and the blue and grey Batman. And I already had the Mongul.
Great collection! And a great video, too!!! Congratulations!!! Keep it up!!!!
I stuck around till the end and i completely agree with your top 5. That Brainiac is amazing and could only be better if it was done in that super shiny vac metal stuff like the old kenner figure was.
Hey. Brad. This. Was. A. Cool. List. Thank. You.
But yeah i enjoy your content and your input with anything. Movies, shows, comics, figures, trading cards, i watch it all from you because i enjoy the person behind or infront of the camera just as much as i enjoy the videos topic. Keep it up brother.
Definitely enjoyed this look at the line! That Bats, the one at the end, looks tempting enough to purchase lol
It's the best one out there in the 6" scale as far as I can see. Just a heads up though, he's a lot pricey so save your sea shells and pocket change. Lol.
Some real gems in this toyline. I wish I hadn't missed out on it, but I can definitely respect it, love the character variety.
great vid :) that wacky superman...get those knees together.
Youre missing the mattel DC superheroes Shadow Knight Batman figure, very underrated
Love these long vids. Definitely stuck to the end.
I had a few of these figures. But I replaced them with the DC Universe Classics which I still collect and still building up. But I still have the Clark Kent Figure from that line that I got from a 2-Pack that also had Superman. Love the video!!!
Such a great video. Thanks for showcasing these. I unfortunately never owned any (I was spending my dollars on those ugly Marvel Legends you mentioned lol), but I remember how eye catching the packaging looked on the store shelves.
Wow, you got a whole lot of collection there.
Etrigan is great. I love the rubbery arms on Clay face. I passed on Catwoman and Batwoman because I had the DC Direct versions. That was a big mistake since they went up in value really fast and steep. I really don't like this line very much because of body bucks, flat faces and limited articulation but I have to admit it had a great character selection.
Excellent video, as always. You should take a look at every collect and connect figure from the dcuc line. Or a top ten. Would love to see that video from you
Stuck around to the end. Love these vids!
Great overview of the line though I wish you'd have mentioned the missing ones by cutting in some promo shots (same for the ones you'd customed). I've never been a big Cassandra Cain fan but that was a fantastic figure, too bad it was so hard to get. Other than the head and belt (and paint job) it is the same sculpt as the Barbara Gordon DCSH Batgirl. I kept hoping that somewhere before the license was gone that they'd reissue it with new gloves (having the wraps around them) and a swappable head (the DCSH one and a new "Black Bat" head). Would love to see you tackle DCUC, GLC, Batman Unlimited, DC Unlimited, etc like this wave-by-wave. Even if you don't have everything, just cut in promo shots of what you don't... Again, great video, Brad, can't wait to see more.
Wow! Unique sculpts with washes! What strange dimension is this!
I stuck around to the end. Loved how this line became DCUC. I'm just missing a few as I was buying them new off the shelf when they came out.
This is a very nice line with great sculpting and paint job.. and these figures are very expensive nowadays..
I put my DC Super Heroes Doomsday & Bane fighting with DC Icons Superman & Batman (smaller size). They look great together!
More videos like this super friend, you're super awesome
I love that dcsh darkseid still waiting for a reasonably priced brainiac! So that explains luthors feet there on backwards, my luthors right foot is almost completely sideways tho!
This is my exact dcsh/uc display with a couple of dc directs and customs thrown in!
I stuck around ... until the bitter end.!!
These are just Great Figures...!!!
Good job.!!
Pretty odd that you'd say the early MLs are terrible looking while that emaciated Azrael is in shot lol.
I stayed till the end! Love your videos Brad, keep up the schway work!
nice trip down memory lane, that batman is one of the few figures I could not get. for the mongul figure he was re-release as a member of the yellow lantern corps.
Down here in Chile, the dc super heroes line arrived at supermarkets quite late but I was able to get a few. I still wanna get some more .
Great video brad!!!
Ps: I know Superman is your favorite dc hero, but were you ever a fan of the kenner line "legends of batman"?
I was a huge fan of that line as well as the man of steel collection
Thanks for the trip
The White Skinned Bizarro was actually a DC Universe Classics release, it came in an SDCC two pack with Faker from Masters of the Universe.
I stuck around. Thank you for the great video.
Watch the whole thing. Excellent video
First. I got most of these except Batgirl. Wish I had her.
I had the re-deco black and blue one but never the DCSH version. It's still on my list to this day.

Thank's for the video, love it!!!
Hey bud, slap some Modge Podge on those joints and that might help bring them back to life.
Stuck around til the end👍
My Azrael's legs still work fine after all these years
With Scarecrow you should use the Oz as a walking stick in order to give him more stability and you can pose it better...
Great collection!!
Very nice! I think Steel and Mongul are my favorites. I wish they made the Shaq version of Steel... not really.
I used to have alot of these figures but alas I sold most of them. I kept parasite and Mr freeze. The rest I feel I've replaced. I just can't wait for the mezco 1/12 Mr freeze coming. Finally a Mr freeze figure since the one from this line.
Hey Brad, what cape did you use for your Tim Drake Robin? Thinking about doing the same. It looks great!!!
The top portion of Doomsday's buck is the same as Bizarro's but with the added bones.
Anyway, this line is just nothing short of fantastic. Sure, some colors or depictions aren't 100% accurate, but the aesthetic they went with is awesome and badass in a lot of cases. These are almost all entirely unique sculpts to each character and what more could I ask for? They are also an excellent mix of sculpt and articulation. I love this set.
I would even go so far as to say this is the greatest set of figures from any 6-inch toy line. Just go ahead and compare this with Essentials, and the current status quo is abundantly clear.
I miss the DC Superheroes/Universe Classics style figures so much. I started out with Marvel Legends and these quickly replaced them as my favorite superhero figures to collect.
There are so many of these and the classics figures I wish I would have gotten when I had the chance back when they were still in shelves. And for my money, the best Batman figure is from the first wave of Universe Classics, but then again I'm partial to the Bats costume from the Jim Aparo/Norm Breyfogle/Marshall Rogers issues I love so much
Cool Collection
Most of these I agree with. But the best Batman is the new 80th version. Geek.
Have you tried superglue for fixing loose joints? Apply a tiny amount to the joint, then keep working it for several minutes so that as the glue dries it gums up the joint but doesn't completely solidify it. I have a lot of Toybiz Marvel Legends and early DCSH/DCUC figures that I've given this treatment to and it works really well on hinge joints.
For loose ball joints I use tiny O-rings designed for sound dampening on mechanical keyboards. They're a couple of pounds/dollars for a bag with 100+ in and they come in multiple colours. Push them over the offending limb and up into the joint and they provide some extra friction to keep the joint tight.
Black cotton thread works well for loose waist joints, just wind it around the central pivot and keep going until it's nice and tight, then cut off the excess.
Do them Brad!!!! I loved this
I really like that Batman. I've seen the blue and grey before but never knew there was a black and grey on the mold, which is much more to my taste. What should I be looking for? I know the Blue one is series 3 dcsh
Here til the end! Any recommendations on a Superman Multiverse figure?
WOW! These are crazy good!
I stuck around till the end lol
Mattel really did like to use the rubber arms on clayface example is the 2004 clayface it also has a rubber arm.
The Superman is probably still my favorite comic book Superman. I think it has the best "S" logo and head sculpt. Both just screams Superman to me. What I don't like however, is how small the head is. It could be a tad bigger. I agree with you on the colors, they seem too dark and muted. If he had been brighter he'd be perfect. The cape is also too long, wish it was cut in half or went to where his knees were. The DCUC Superman was much improved, but the "S" and head sculpt were inferior IMO
Also, this was a great video, please do more.
Superman's bright blue but dark brownish red reminded me of superman returns
loved the bainiac, i wich that was available in brazil!
I collected them as best as I could. Distribution was terrible as some Waves didn't even get to my area. I still search for them.
It’s exactly what I asked for 🙂 Thnx Brad
Excellent!
I stayed till the end, good video.
That Batman is cool.....
I love that brainiac!
Love the video Brad!
that supergirls left arm is backwards bicep is in the back triceps is in the front
Luthor and Brainiac both got their new look in 1983's action comics not the late 70's
Awesomeness was this video
Someone could make a movie called SUPERMAN/BATMAN HEROES OF JUSTICE includes these characters in that video.
The Scarecrow action figure reminds me of one of those avatar the last air bender action figure
No Bruce Wayne-to-Batman figure? It was always a favorite of mine despite the lack of articulation. Wish I never sold it as it goes for a lot now.
Pledge revive it floor gloss, will stiffen up them Me Freeze ankles along with a lot of the other loose joints on other figs!
Oh noooo what is the recipe??? OMG I was just waiting for that Batman to show up and he didn't even mention what was his name and wave
personally the blue batman is my fav of the two
DC Superheroes Lex Luther and Brainiac aren’t just my favourite DC Superheroes figures, they right up near the top for favourite Mattel DC figures
That Bane you showed us comes in Dc Batman Comics Series from 2003; isn't from Dc Super Heroes S3 Select Sculpt Series 🤷
Nice
I watched it all the way!
I stuck around!
2007 batman and robin two pack with humungous cape
The heroes will be superman, supergirl, steel, batman, robin, batgirl, and catwoman.
22:15- "Don't fall over. She woulda taken Robin with her." THUNK. "She took Robin with her." HAHAHA!!!
Watched it to the end
Brianiac only appeared during the early 80s.
18:44 He’s not wrong tho. I mean, have ya even seen the Rogue ML made by Toybiz? Ugh!!!
I stayed till the end plz do all your dcuc
Why doesn’t anyone show or build the diorama with this figures
I have that Bane and he doesn't have the action feature.
I know he was originally designed for the early-2000s Batman line that preceded DCSH and DCUC, and that only a small number of those figures were released in certain markets. I wonder if it's one of those that you have and not the DCSH version?
Also, if you wanted a version of the Tim Drake Robin that didn't require repainting, again just get the earlier Batman release. It's the exact same figure but with much brighter and more vibrant colours.
Dug it all the way through! (Made it to the end)
God I love hearing him say sculpted.
Toybiz & Mattel era: indisputable.
Is the body a S3 Batman?
I had a lot of those figures but I sold them all for the Icons line boy was I stupid 🤦🏾♂️
In Britain I found 6 two faces. Yeah and they were cheap.
