San Diego Comic-Con 2013 will mark the debut of the world’s first action figure of the “New 52” Billy Batson, the boy turned DC Comics super hero known as Shazam! Not included with Matty Collector’s DC Universe Club Infinite Earths subscriptions, this figure arrives with a removable hood in Club Infinite Earths die cut packaging with distinctive silver foil.
Of all of DC Comics’ “New 52” redesigns, the character with the coolest new look is without a doubt the former Captain Marvel, Shazam! I’ve really been looking forward to seeing a toy of the new Shazam, but man I wish Mattel had done a better job with his hood. It fits to his head terribly and looks like it’s standing up unnaturally. Hopefully these pictures aren’t the final product and the sculpting of the hood is much better in the final product. I can’t imagine the Four Horsemen not fixing this before Comic-Con.
The San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive “New 52” Shazam! DC Universe Club Infinite Earths Action Figure can be purchased at the Mattel SDCC booth, with any remaining stock made available for purchase after the convention at MattyCollector.com on August 5, 2013.
