Speed Force The Flash Action Figure: $24.99 at the time of review Full disclosure: this is one of those things that I would probably order for myself as an adult. I firmly believe that you're never too old to play with toys. And frankly, despite the bad press around the actor, who plays the flash, he's a pretty awesome superhero. But the truth of the matter is, in this particular case, that I ordered this so that I could have a fun toy on hand, when my nephew comes to visit. You see, I believe that it's all good Aunt and Uncle's jobs to have fun toys at their house to keep their niblings preoccupied. The good news is that this toy is every bit as awesome as I was hoping it would be. The bad news is that there's not really any good way to portray that in a review. This is one of those things that you just have to see and play with yourself. First of all, the detail on the toy is excellent. I suppose the face could use a little bit of extra attention. But the rest of his body and speed suit are glorious. His limbs articulate really well, and as an action figure, I would’ve loved to have this as a kid. As for the actual operation of the toy, there's a small on off switch on the back and it's powered by three button cell batteries. We have yet to run the batteries down, but they're a common type, and pretty easy to swap out for an adult (you will need a smaller Phillips head screwdriver). But I'm telling you, the lights and sound in this toy are awesome! There are various spots all over his suit that light up. And there are several modes. You can set it to move with motion, or to be activated by the button on his chest (which also lights up). But best of all, it was a huge hit with my nephew! He loved playing with it, and did everything he could to trigger the sounds in motion mode. If I had one complaint, it would be that the package is pretty bare-bones. You just get a cardboard box with the action figure and a small black and white instruction manual in it. This isn't the kind of action figure of my childhood that came in a plastic clamshell package with a bunch of accessories. But that's OK, because the base toy is so cool it just doesn't matter. As far as the price goes, $24.99 seems a little high for an action figure, but one with this level of detail and cool lights, and sound effects is worth every penny in my opinion. In the end, I am so happy I ordered this toy for my nephew. As mentioned above, it's super cool looking, fun to play with, and the noise and sounds are really neat. It gets a big five stars out of five from me and my nephew. I would absolutely order this over again.
