Black Mask. Let's do this one down and dirty. The reviews for this guy have been up for months, but I just got a hold of mine. I'm not on Mattel's "get the figs early to review list" so I wait like everyone else.
I love the packaging art. I say it every time I get a Club figure. If this figure was based on the art, we would have a hell of an amazing design.
Mostly made of re-used parts like most of Club Infinite Earths figures. Black Mask sports a nice head sculpt and more importantly, he actually has 3 accessories. A knife and what looks to be a bladed tuning fork complete his weapon arsenal. The puzzling one is the Batman Cowl. Sure it's pretty neat and who doesn't want a removed Bat Cowl... but seriously, what is the little hole in the back of it for? Designed for someone to hold it? Not Black Mask. I tried and tried again to no avail. If anyone out there figured it out, please let me know.
I like the Black Mask figure and I will display him proudly.

I read somewhere (not exactly sure where) that the Hole in the back of the mask is so you can replicate the cover to Batman #636 using the knife he comes with.
ReplyDeleteGreat review btw, still sad I missed out on this figure the day it went on sale....
