Out of the Box: Green Lantern & Cyborg (Hero Plug & Play)

Out of the box today are the two figures that I mentioned in my Discount Shopping Adventures - two game piece figures of Green Lantern and Cyborg. As mentioned in that post, I found them at Tuesday Morning for $2.99, although apparently they normally retail for as high as $12.99 (although $9.99 seems to be the more common price).

DC Super Heroes: The Watchtower is a Plug & Play game that seems to have a similar theme to  the more well-know Skylanders or Disney Infinity games in that they involve attaching different character figures to a base that communicates with the game.  These figures are smaller and lighter than most of the ones from those other games though, and reminded me a little of Heroclix figures (although they are quite a bit larger than those ones).

Let's open up the box!

The Green Lantern.
Which Green Lantern, you might ask, but I have no idea -
the packaging doesn't specify (although maybe the
game itself does?).

Compared to Heroclix Captain Britain.
In terms of style and material, these figures are very
similar to Heroclix figures. They're quite a bit larger
though, as you can see here.

Compared to Eaglemoss Captain Britain.
The figures are only slightly smaller than Eaglemoss figurines,
although they're significantly lighter weigh.

Overall, I'd say these are decent figures for the (discounted) price.  I don't know enough about the game to comment on them in the context of that, but on their own they have a reasonable amount of detail and don't look out of place on display with non-game figurines.

A parting glance.
