TOTAL JUSTICE '97 Action Figures WAVE 3

The last group of some more obscure heroes and villains from DC comics in action figure form here in the 3rd wave of TOTAL JUSTICE action figures from 1997. Some recently for the time changes present here, leading me to believe this line started leaning toward appealing to adult collectors reading the comic books at the time. Hal Jordan as Parallax is the villain of the set, facing off against Black Lighting, The Huntress, and Connor Hawke as the Green Arrow. Fractal Armor still present, but some standard weapons and accessories included as well. Let's open them all fresh from their packaging in this retro unboxing review.

This was my first exposure to DC Superhero toys when I was a kid, as I have never seen Kenner Super powers figures until I was well into my adult years where I lived in the Philippines.

People forget that often the newest in the store is the first for the youngest generation. I saw old pictures of Super Powers and wanted them, but these were in stores so they were my Justice League for sure, and I was glad for the chance at them.

1997 was also the year that the Warner Bros. cartoon shorts after 1948 started airing on 3 Turner networks (including Cartoon Network), after Time Warner (now Warner Bros. Discovery) acquired Turner Broadcasting System (now Warner Bros. Discovery Networks) on October 10, 1996.

Ya got me, i never know such figures existed 😭 they are all so cool and very 90s. They lowkey remind of those marvel/dc comic crossovers they were doing around this time. Yk, Stan Lee's DC Universe?

[@MBXfilms]

I sadly never got to read any real comics so I have very limited knowledge of them from any time. But yes, that 90's style that left me wishing they were more normal stance for play back then, is GREAT to see now that I just display them.

Depending on if you collect variants or not there are a ton more from when Total Justice switched it's name to JLA

[@MBXfilms]

Yes I've seen some of those, that would bloat the collection but I may go for it for a few extra characters some like like Martian Manhunter and such. I got some tail end stuff like that for the MAN OF STEEL line also: kzbin.info/aero/PLkVjD6XP11Vr5pG0Nf0SUmJhKDD2NrsIW

I had every one of these. Think the only villians were Parrelax, Despero, and Darkseid. Thanks for the memories.

[@MBXfilms]

Seems to be the only 3. And I'm glad to hear it, that's why I like putting these videos together. I do have a video about the rest of the figures with Darkseid and Despero: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpSZYoypjdiVp5Y

I dig DC and this is a fun watch. Total Justice action figures has very limited articulations in favor of poses. I like the weapons albeit very huge!

[@MBXfilms]

I was into "The Centurions" reruns at this time so the snap on armor was very cool to me, like they summon weapon upgrades during a fight. And you can still take it off and have the normal super hero underneath.

@@MBXfilms Right! 👍

[@battlearmordad]

There was a rights issue with Wonder Woman. They designed one but couldn't release her until later in the 90s (JSA). @ The Toy Armada with Aaron Archer has the full story

Sad reason when it's just technical.
