I just picked up the New Frontier Martian Manhunter, and I think it’s the best action figure I’ve bought. It jumps to the top of the list of top five Martian Manhunter action figures (I need to do an update to that post). Multiple points of articulation, a head that moves up, down, and side to side, and the most adorable face J’onn has ever had.
Only one problem. It’s totally hard to believe that humans, even in the 50s and 60s, would hate such a lovey-dovey, large-eyebrowed, dimpled chin, totally cute Martian. It undercuts the whole "humans hate me because I’m different" schtick.
I’m going back for the Batman tomorrow. Hell, I think I might get the set. Thanks a lot, DC Direct, for making me spend more money on toys. Merry Christmas to me, I guess.
