JLU Mattel Action Figures - "Super Friends" Model Sheets
Added 2025-04-01 16:15:18 +0000 UTCArtist Christopher Jones (Justice League Adventures, Young Justice, The Batman Strikes) did model sheet turnaround work for Mattel back in the day, designing several action figures for their Justice League Unlimited line! Here are the designs for the "Super Friends" 3-pack: Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, and Samurai.
I've always found these turnarounds very cool, as they sort of give us a look into what these characters might have looked like had they actually appeared on the show! Would you have preferred to see these "actual" SF characters, over the Ultimen adaptations we got? Personally, I really enjoyed the stories we got with the Ultimen, and think they adapted the otherwise mildly insensitive character concepts into something more palatable for the "modern" age.
