Pros and Cons

As a continuation of the Adventures of The DC Universe Hasbro as announced this year a new sub-line of figures called the "Variations that Make Sense" line. These will come in "themed" waves. The first waves are all under the heading "Pros and Cons." These figures consist of 2 assortments that will run simultaneously with each other broken into 2 groups: popular villains incarcerated convicts and favorites from the DCU as in their everyday life as professionals.

Assortment 1-The Pros:


Bruce Wayne - Nothing says "Hey! Look at me I lead a double life as a costumed hero!" quite as much as a fire-engine red overcoat. Well, those days are gone for Bruce Wayne and now thanks to Hasbro's "Variations that Make Sense" line Bruce can get back to running Wayne Enterprises without the questioning eyes of ALL of Gotham. Bruce has 5 points of articulation and come with a briefcase (not shown) (Alfred NOT included)


Clark Kent - It's a bird! It's a plane! It's! Oh, wait. It's just a guy in a suit. Clark has 7 points of articulation. He comes with a removable hat, a suitcase and a phone booth.


Lois Lane - Lois looks like she is ready to get some news.


Commissioner Gordon - There was nothing wrong with the Commissioner Gordon figure that Hasbro gave us last year... except he was always complaining about how cold he was on those chilly Gotham nights. So, they took pity on him gave him his trademark trench coat and 5 points of articulation and put him in their "Variations that Make Sense" line.


Ra's Al Ghul - Remember all those Batman: The Animated Series episodes with Ra's in his green tights and bright yellow armor? Yeah. Neither do we, and thank goodness neither did Hasbro. So finally they gave us Ra's in an outfit he ACTUALLY wore! Ra's has a removable cape and 5 points of articulation.


Lex Luthor - This is one of the reasons that Hasbro's "Variations that Make Sense" line was created. They knew they needed to get popular villains out of made-up costumes into outfits that they actually wore in an episode. Luthor has 5 points of articulation.


The Penguin (Casual) - Ah! This is the life. A velvet robe, a top hat and a smooth smoke. Casual Penguin has 4 points of articulation and a removable cigarette holder.
