McFarlane Toys is racing on in with a new DC Super Powers figure with Jay Garrick, the original Flash! Jay Garrick debuted in Flash Comics #1 back in 1940, created by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert. As a college student studying chemistry, Jay gained super speed after an experiment gone wrong. Donning a winged helmet inspired by the Roman god Mercury, Jay would become the very first Scarlet Speedster, using his powers to fight crime in Keystone City. He was a member of the Justice Society of America, but his legacy faded after the Golden Age of comics.
However, Jay was reintroduced in The Flash #123 (1961) in the "Flash of Two Worlds" story, which would establish the DC Multiverse, unveiling Jay as the Flash of Earth-2. Jay is now getting a new DC Super Powers figure from McFarlane Toys, showing off his classic Golden Age, with signature lighting streak emblem, helmet, and winged boots. Standing 4.5" tall, Flash will have 7 points of articulation, retro packaging and is priced at $9.99. Pre-orders are already live and selling out just as fast as him, with a March 2025 release date.
