Ooo ooh Here He Comes, He's a Manhunter!

This is the DC Infinite Heroes Manhunter Robot figure:



This Manhunter action figure is really cool. I like how, even though they used the standard DCIH body, they added a collar to give him more height and to also give him a more alien/robot look. His gloves and boots are also very well sculpted and bulky (as they should be) and allow this DC Infinite Heroes figure to stand very well unassisted in multiple poses (which is not always the case in the DCIH line.)



From Wikipedia:

"The Manhunters were the first attempt of the Guardians of the Universe to create an interstellar police force that would combat evil all over the cosmos. Their name and much of their code of behavior was modeled by the Guardians of the Universe on the Manhunters of Ma'aleca'andra (Mars). For thousands of years, they served the Guardians well. However, the Manhunters became obsessed with the act of 'hunting' criminals. Their code, "No man escapes the Manhunters," became more important to them than seeing justice done."



"No man escapes the..."

"...yikes!"

I discovered recently while reading the blog Random Happenstance that K-Mart had placed their DCIH on clearance. Well only one K-Mart within fifty miles of me had ever even seen the likes of DCIH, so it took me a while but I finally made it out that way. And lo-and-behold their DCIH singles were reduced to $1.50 each! So I got three Manhunter robots and a couple others too (to be blogged about later.)

Which brings our DCIH tally to:

Infinite Heroes: 11

Infinite Villains: 6
