Wave 12 marks the first time that the anchor character in the set is the Collect & Connect figure, the cruel despot of Apokolips, Darkseid. Darkseid is clad in his usual blue sleeveless tunic with matching high boots and gloves. Darkseid also comes with his “Killing Glove,” which I guess was designed by DeSaad and used in a plot to reignite the war between Apokolips and New Genesis. It’s quite detailed with a lot of dangerous-looking electrical components and a metallic finish in gold, silver, ...

The sculpt on Iron is beautiful, capturing the solidity and toughness you would associate with the character, right down to his square jaw and thick neck. His smock-style top features riveting in a triangular shape on the front that matches the rivets ...

Eclipso is the first of 2 spirits in this wave, the spirit of wrath. He uses shards of the black diamond, Heart of Darkness, to possess humans and superheroes alike, also taking possession of their special abilities. For a character with such unusual abilities, we get a figure that is just as unusual. First off, Eclipso’s head is very well done, though a little goofy. He has giant elf ears and an elf hood that remind me of Link from the Legend of Zelda. Half of his face is blue, which I believe ...
