Mattel DC Multiverse Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) Action Figure (2018)

I don't really collect action figures because I'm usually frustrated by their lack of articulation.  Many have poor QC as well.  Not too long ago, I bought the Star Ace Hermione Granger 1/6-scale figure, which was very nice.  However, I didn't feel like posing and re-posing it, which kinda defeats the purpose of getting a poseable figure in the first place.  After a trip to the Wizarding World in Universal Studios Orlando, I decided that I had outgrown my Harry Potter phase and sold the Star Ace Hermione figure.  So, I now collect static statues, which I try to display in ways that convey stories or at least humor.

Stephanie Brown, usually best-known as "Spoiler", is the one "major" Batfamily member without a statue.  Mattel released a DC Multiverse Spoiler Action Figure last year, but I waited to see if maybe Joelle Jones would get to design one for her Cover Girls statue wave.  In December, I noticed people posting Instagram pictures of Spoiler being discounted at Walmart, so I began checking the toy section at my nearest store to see if I could get a deal.  It finally happened today, Monday, 2019-02-04.  Yup, $5!!!

These figures come with additional "build-a-figure" parts to entice fans to buy characters they might not otherwise consider.  Spoiler comes with Lex Luthor's head, lol.

I cheated a little by using glamour shots from Walmart.com.  However, they're much better than the pictures that I took with my phone.  The cape, hair, chest strap, and belt are made from a kind of pliable but sturdy plastic.  Indeed, the cape helps the figure stand on its own when you try to create an action pose.  The amount of articulation really surprised me.  There are many, many joints and/or rotating parts, and many of them can be turned a full 360 degrees.

There were four of these at my Walmart, so I picked the best-looking one.  QC seems very good in terms of molding, paint, and ease of movement.  This action figure is probably too small to look good next to my statues, though for $5, it's an acceptable short-term substitute for the lack of a Spoiler statue from DC Collectibles.
