It's really cool that Mattel has decided to go the extra mile, and give the fans figures they really want! However, they don't always take the extra step to 'finish' certain details. I guess they took the 'black' in BLACK MERCY quite literally. It's really quite a beutiful and colorful plant, and not really black at all...here it is in all it's evil glory attached to both Superman and Batman from the episode FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING.
