The Atom has always been one of DC's most underrated heroes, and McFarlane Toys' DC Retro line finally gives Ray Palmer his due in 6-inch, 1:12 scale form. Drawn directly from the classic Super Friends animated series, this release captures the era's bold, clean aesthetic — cobalt blue bodysuit, crimson trunks and gloves, blue boots, and the iconic atom symbol stamped on the forehead mask. For collectors who grew up watching the Super Friends on Saturday morning, this figure is pure nostalgia rendered in sharp modern plastic.
The figure is factory sealed on a vibrant retro-style blister card featuring the full Super Friends team illustrated in classic DC house art. The colorful rainbow-burst card design evokes the look of late-1970s toy packaging, making it as displayable carded as it is out of the box. Inside, The Atom comes with a miniature Justice League radio accessory and a Super Friends art card bearing the character's animated-style artwork. With 12 points of articulation across the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and more, the figure holds a wide range of heroic poses.
This release slots into McFarlane's growing DC Retro Super Friends wave alongside other animated-era heavy hitters, making it an essential addition for anyone building out the full roster. The Atom's relatively rare presence in the 6-inch collector market makes this wave entry a standout pickup. Whether posed on a shelf alongside the rest of the Super Friends or kept sealed on card, it's a compact, character-rich release aimed squarely at DC animation collectors and retro toy enthusiasts alike.
