Minimates Review Part 2!!!

Okay, so here's the second part of the review. Lex Luthor, Batman, Joker and Hal Jordan get the star treatment this time round.

Let's start off with Lex Luthor. This figure is exceptional. He wears his green battle armour, a slight variation of the one he wears in Justice League/Unlimited. He wears a green plastic armour over his torso, and his arms have striped, representing the grooves in the armour. His muscle are present on his legs, and he has small purple gloves, with little details sculpted on. He has funky purple space-boots, which make him so much cooler. He still retains his articulation, but his plastic armour stops his head from moving more than 45 degrees, but if you work it, it will loosen up soon enough.
Rating: 9/10.

Joker is next subject. Obviously, he's packaged in with his companion Harley Quinn. He has his trademark purple coat, and chalky white skin. His grin is coloured bright red as it should be. He wears a pinstripe suit, which is painted to perfection. He comes with his traditional Bang! gun, but it makes him topple over and lose balance. His cane is also equipped, with a small jester on top. His long trenchcoat causes some of his articulation to not work - especially in the legs. However, he is a great arch-nemesis for Batman to fight until next month.
Rating: 7/10.

Batman may be my favourite figure in this series. He has an exceptional cape, which surprisingly doesn't alter articulation. He has cool blue gloves, with sculpted spikes on the sides. He has a wicked brown belt, which has little brown pockets sculpted on. His paint (or decals), are perfect, though I'd be careful of scratching some of the decal off. His cowl is removable like Harley's, and underneath is a smirking Bruce Wayne. He comes with removable hair, which completes his alter-ego. This figure might just top OMAC.
Rating: 9/10.

Hal Jordan is also one of my favourites. He can bust a move or two! He has a perfect angry expression on his face - but his hair is a simple repaint of the Superman hair-piece. They bear too much of a resemblance next to each other, but this is quickly changed by his costume. The greens and black do not run into each other, and his torso sticks well to his legs. He has cute little white gloves, with a painted on power ring. He has muscle definition which stands out well against the green, and you just want to make him dance! Believe me, he can get into some pretty nifty poses!
Rating: 9/10.

Hope you learnt from my reviews. I'll try to post pictures up at the weekend, when I can get some sunlight.
