Episode 45 – Justice League / Justice League Unlimited

Action Figures 4.5″
In my opinion the greatest series of action figures created since the MARVEL SECRET WARS figures back in the 80’s. A simple yet beautifully sculpted figure with just the right amount of articulation! Produced by Mattel from 2003 – 2011, I wont even pretend I know the exact number of figures produced but here is a pretty good WIKI to investigate them more: DC UNIVERSE
Let us know what you loved about this series, did you collect the action figures? Tell us about it! Thanks for listening!
