Summary
Black Adam stands out as a PX Previews Exclusive with a unique metal tin packaging and a highly detailed, lifelike head sculpt that surpasses expectations beyond a simple black-suited Captain Marvel variant. The figure features a tight-fitting spandex suit, a distinctive long cape with a metal chain and wired edges for posing, and a character-specific lightning bolt accessory, though the latter received mixed opinions. Limited accessories and a single head sculpt reduce overall value, but the figure excels in articulation and presentation, making it a must-have for Marvel Family fans.

Reviews
Pros
- Exclusive collector’s tin packaging with hinged lid and protective plastic sleeve
- Highly detailed, lifelike head sculpt with sharp cheekbones, pointy ears, widow’s peak, and arched eyebrows
- Subtle, clean paint apps with realistic skin freckling and glossed eyes
- Tailored black spandex suit with separate applied lightning bolt emblem for depth
- Soft pleather cape with hood, real metal chain, and partial wired edges for posing
- Standard One:12 articulation with ball-jointed neck, torso crunch, waist twist, and articulated limbs
- Improved rocker ankles allowing more dynamic stances
- Accessories include 6 interchangeable hands (fists, flying, gripping), unique black Adam lightning bolt, and character-specific display base
- Flight stand with articulated arm and wired cape support for dynamic posing
- Tight-fitting costume with no sagging issues common in similar figures
- Exclusive PX Previews figure with unique features and packaging
Cons
- Limited accessories for an exclusive figure—only one head sculpt and minimal extras
- Lightning bolt accessory less impressive than Shazam’s, with soft edges and less dynamic appearance
- Cape wiring stops short below shoulders, causing awkward drape without extensive posing effort
- Included cape posing accessory is cumbersome and disliked by reviewers
- No alternate head sculpts to express different emotions or intensify display options
- Price ($80) feels high given limited accessories and reuse of parts from Shazam figure
