Strangely, there are more Martian Manhunter action figures than many other more popular characters (take that, Wonder Woman!). And I own a bunch (with plans to add at least 3-4 more in the coming year). Here’s my list of favorites (I haven’t included any upcoming ones) in no particular order:
- MiniMates Martian Manhunter: This is the only one on the list that I don’t own. But I have to admit, it’s pretty darn cute (and apparently one of the rarer ones)
- Justice League Unlimited: This is a cool three-pack of Martian Manhunter from the Justice League cartoon. There’s also an excellent Justice Lords version of J’onn, among others.
- DC Direct: There are a few different DC Direct Martian Manhunters: a "normal" one, an "Unmasked" version, and an upcoming Alex Ross version. I was excited to see a "First Appearance" one, but disappointed when seeing that it wasn’t really from J’onn’s first appearance, but his most recent. Lame.
- Super Powers Martian Manhunter (pictured): There’s not much that can be said about the whole Super Powers line: they are still my favorites. This was the earliest Martian Manhunter figure and still one of the best. And it has the Power Action Martian Punch!
- Hasbro’s 9" Martian Manhunter: I own a few of these, because it’s a great design. Firstly, it’s nicely-articulated; secondly, the cloth costume is cool; thirdly, it’s a great conversation piece. I keep one of these in my office at work (no matter where I work). I recall interviewing someone for a position a few years back: his name was John Jones, but he didn’t even react to the cool Martian Manhunter figure.
