The Leading Lady of the Metal Men is a Mattycollector Exclusive from Mattel 2012
Team completion is one of the greatest feelings for an action figure collector. It amkes you feel as if you've acheived a goal of sorts, and it makes you feel like the toy companies really care about us weirdos. I was a regular on the DC Message Boards before they were axed last year with with New52 reboot, and team completion for the Metal Men was one of the most constant topics. I honestly never thought it would actually happen, but these past few years have surprized me over and over. Platinum is the third female figure in the first year of Mattycollector's Club Infinite Earths DC subscription program and they've really proved that they're going to squeeze in those desperately needed final figures for us. The Metal Men have been fan-favorites since their debut in 1962. They're quirky, fun, and adventurous, which is always a winning combination in comics. All the members are a living metal, proudly displaying their elemental symbol (or at least a symbolic representation), and they all exhibit Plastic Man / Mister Fantastic body distortion talents. Platinum has a Pinocchio complex and thinks she's a real girl.
