Huh. Well, they sure didn’t go overboard trying to make Poison Ivy’s “mech” impressive, did they?
Looks like they used the same Flash as in previous sets. That’s nice as it doesn’t flood the market with needless variants.
@Gomek:
Look again. The torso is the same as the one from the Reverse Flash set, with the traces of lightning worked into the design, but the yellow boots are _DEFINITELY_ new for a Flash minifig. So this technically makes #5, when you add in the Justice League movie version and the Mighty Micros version.
