Comic Statues & Busts: Cyborg Action Figure from DC Heroes Villains

DC Universe Classics Series 4 Action Figure Cyborg

It's a great figure but mine lacks the extra accessories. The version I bought doesn't include an extra hand, the fork hand , and another extra weapon that the other also carried. It only carries a different weapon and his only metal hand as shown on the display box here. Along with Despero's arm which is used to build him along with other fellow wave 4 figures like Cyborg which carry a certain piece of Despero. It would of been a five if it didn't lack the accessories. So I gave it a four overall instead.

Ive watched teen titans and cyborg was one of my fav chars on that show. thank you

Not bad at all! The facial features and overall appearance looks very similar to the advertisement. Hip tilt is a little flamboyant but hey...can't be too picky! There aren't too many African Decent action figures on the market anyway.

Courtesy of Wave 4 of Mattel's DC Universe Classics franchise, here stands the mighty Cyborg in all his silvery, metallic glory. As a long-standing member of the Teen Titans, Cyborg has met a well-deserved resurgence in popularity due to his appearances on the recent "Teen Titans Go!" animated series. Yet, it is remarkable that this figure is probably only the fourth that I know of that has been produced featuring him as he appears in comic books.

A quarter century ago, Kenner released the first Cyborg figure as a part of its fondly remembered "Super Powers" collection, and, then, in recent years, DC Direct finally produced a figure similar to this Mattel version (in additional to a hard-to-find gold-painted variant). Yet, none of these figures can be found easily or inexpensively, so now is the perfect time to consider purchasing a Cyborg action figure for your collection.

The criteria I am setting forth are as follows:

1. Does this Cyborg figure accurately resemble its promotional photos?

Absolutely! As most collectors know, promotional photos (particularly, ones made public months in advance of the figure's actual release) can be rather deceptive, as one terrific figure is promised but then, the released figure will pale in comparison to the photo. In this case, I would say the promotional photo and the Cyborg figure are at least 90% identical. In other words, the resemblance is virtually dead-on.

I give Mattel excellent marks on making good on its advertising for this figure. However, I am curious why his left eye doesn't have the familiar red plate the character normally has there. It just seems like the figure's left eye is non-existent.

Score: 9.5/10

2. Does the figure have much articulation (for display purposes)?

Honestly, I don't have any idea as to the number of articulation points this figure supposedly has. All I know is that it is at least functional in terms of basic movement for display poses. Fortunately, Cyborg can stand alone easily enough without a display base (since Mattel doesn't include one).

Score: 9.5/10

3. Do the figure's accessories enhance the figure?

The figure come with both hands as clinched fists. There are two interchangeable attachments (one is a grappling hook and the other appears to be his white sound blaster, as seen in the promotional photo). Mattel certainly gives you your money's worth.

Score: 10/10

4. Is the figure an excellent investment (or as a recommended addition to an action figure collection)?

Yes! If you can find it for a reasonable price, I highly recommend purchasing one since Cyborg action figures are such a rare commodity.

Score: 10/10

5. What do I think, overall?

The figure is sculpted and painted on a par with any high-caliber DC Direct figure. Mattel has simply done a top-notch job with this Teen Titan mainstay. Most importantly, Cyborg has a wonderful visual look and meets all expectations one should reasonably have.

My final score: 9.75/10.

Earth's last city, Olympus, rose from the ashes of a global war on the backs of Bioroids, artificial clones who make up half the city's population. Under the strict guidance of a supercomputer, humanity's last survivors enjoy an idyllic peace, but only on the surface Human terrorists within the military seek a return to power and clash with the government's ESWAT forces lead by the legendary soldier, Deunan Knute, and her boyfriend who is 75% machine. Retrieving the Appleseed will end the conflict, and Deunan alone holds its secret. The outstanding feature film based on the manga by SHIROW Masamune (Ghost In the Shell), directed by Shinji ARAMAKI (Bubblegum Crisis), and produced by SORI (Ping Pong) features a soundtrack by Boom Boom Satelites, Paul Oakenfold, Basement Jaxx and more and will be available from TOFU records. The DVD will feature high quality video encoded directly from the HD master in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen with 5.1 English Dolby Digital and DTS audio as well as the original Japanese 2.0 stereo and 5.1 DTS Dolby Digital soundtracks! This DVD also features commentary from both the director and the producer!

The 2004 Appleseed feature is a reworking of the earlier video based on the manga by Masamune Shirow (Ghost in the Shell). In 2131, most of humanity has withdrawn to the glittering city of Olympus after a devastating war. When the curvaceous Deunan Knute comes to Olympus, she encounters her former comrade Briareos, now a cyborg, and the lovely android Hitomi. The fate of Hitomi, Olympus, and humanity rest on the lost "Appleseed" technology that Deunan's mother helped to develop. A standard series of chases, mecha battles, and confrontations leads to a predictable ending. When the original Appleseedappeared in 1988, it felt like a summary of anime's past, while Akira pointed the way to the future. This new version feels like a mishmash of Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Jin-Roh, Evangelion, and other, more exciting works. The motion-capture CG is typically weightless, and the mecha look oddly squat. (Rated R: violence) --Charles Solomon

Appleseed is a watershed of anime concepts and design, one of Masamune Shirow's earlier manga works, and the spiritual predecessor to Ghost in the Shell. This 2004 CGI anime brings alot to the table in terms of style, and some would argue it's a much less Hollywood-ized production than Appleseed:Deus Ex Machina.

I don't want to talk about any of that. I want to talk picture. Appleseed was not a film that was intended to be viewed in HiDef, from what I'm seeing. I don't know whether it's the frame rate, or the fault of the transfer, but in nearly EVERY scene in this film where there is camera tracking AND character movement, there is a lot of weird blurring going on. I don't mean it's hard to see detail, I mean if you stop the film during an action scene and go frame by frame, you will see overlapping images, of a person running, a car going by, whatever, almost on top of one another- like what a 3D picture looks like when you're not wearing the glasses.

When the motions or camera movements are slower, it goes away and the picture looks excellent.

I wondered if it could be that my LCDTV, which is only capable of displaying 1080i, not 1080p, might be the problem, but the same problem I'm talking about was corroborated by the review on bluray dot com. Ultimately, it was a deal breaker for me. I obsess over picture, and I found when I watched this film, I kept trying to make myself ignore the glitchy movements, but I couldn't. I don't think Appleseed is the kind of anime where the dialogue is so good you find yourself forgetting what the picture looks like. This is a style piece. And for whataver technical reasons, this transfer seems to have some serious problems. I strongly recommend renting this before you buy it. See for yourself.

This is actually the remake of a 80's animated film based on the comic by Masamune Shirow. Directed by Shinji Aramaki, this computer-generated movie picks up where World War III leaves off. When legendary soldier Deunan Knute is recruited from a ravaged world to serve Olympus, a utopia where humans coexist with genetically enhanced clones, she hardly has time to breathe. Not only does she reunites with her former lover Briareos, who's now more machine than man, but she arrives just as a human coup-d'etat against Olympus' government begins. But that's just a backdrop to a bigger conspiracy that could mean the extinction of our species.

I admit that I wasn't too impressed with Appleseed at first, even with its visual overload. But I've really come to appreciate the movie's merits this time around. Though by anime standards, the themes of futuristic war and the drawbacks of human nature are nothing new, Appleseed integrates them both in a smooth, action-packed execution. All that and kick-ass soundtrack to boot.

This film is rated R: Graphic Violence.

But seeing that the sequel was a Massive FUBAR in hitting all the Wrong notes as compared to the first one I had to take that into account. 'Vexille' is the best Movie (of the only three made)that group ever did in regards to a complete story but 'Appleseed' was a great Manga and the telling of it here was a decent bit of entertainment.

Only rent the sequel to see the Massive flipping FUBAR that it turned into when the creators got it into their heads that Anime character designs where too wrong and "realer" designs would bring in more audiences. Look no further then the PS2 'Xenosaga prt 2' where they did just that to incredible profit vacuums in Japan and America for it. Killing the expected SEVEN PART "SAGA" and wimpering out with a sympathy bye-bye third and LAST game. Also; deciding that the original stories that followed the Manga was too "immature" so they made a completely divorced carbon copy of the characters in it.

Buy this Blu-ray version of 'Appleseed' despite the terribly stupid menu with all those annoying screechy bings for it is the best way to fully enjoy this movie!

Great story,visual effects,and presentation. A must have for all anime fans and movie lovers alike.

I had never heard of Appleseed , but after reading the reviews I thought I'd take a chance . Man am I glad I did. This movie freakin rules! Great action , characters , story , visuals , plot twists. I could go on but I'm going to watch it again. Later.

Leaping into action from their headquarters at Titan Tower comes an army of heroes all within your grasp. This new series of figures from the TV show, Teen Titans features Robin, Raven and Arsenal as well as exclusive figures of Monsieur Mallah, Brain, and Cyborg. Each is fully poseable (OK, maybe not Brain) and stands approximately 3-3/4" tall.
