As one of the most popular characters in the world of DC Comics, it is only right that we try to find the best Flash action figure! The Flash has been getting action figures for years and today we have a real challenge to find the top ones.
We even contemplated trying to enter the speed force ourselves to see if we could go through time to make this list even more epic. Well, someone from the Geek’s Oasis office tried to do this, but ended up winded after running for 70 seconds and had to sit down for the rest of the afternoon!
Run Barry, Run!
As we just said, finding the best Flash action figure is tough because there are so many of them and multiple new Flash action figures get pumped out each year!
We decided to pick the ones that we have in our own collections as well as a few that we wish were. No matter what, all of the figures on our list today are figures that we either have in our collection or want in our collection!

The first Flash action figure we are looking at is really cool figure, as it is based on his look from The Flash TV series which is pretty awesome by the way. This figure captures the likeness of actor, Grant Gustin really well and you can have a lot of fun posing this like it is running.
The suit is based on the suit from the seventh season of the show. It comes with some Flash lightning bolts, a stand, and a little collector's art card as well. It is the best way to have this version of The Flash in your collection.

As we said in our Green Goblin figure guide, we love it when these toy companies make action figures based on the way characters look in animated form and that is why we love this Flash action figure.
This looks like he has come straight off the screen of the Justice League animated series. Perhaps he ran so fast in an episode he ran off the screen and into your action figure collection! This is a very bright and stylish-looking Flash figure, one that will really pop!

- Series: DC Multiverse Justice League Animated Series
- There is a whole bunch of awesome figures based on their animated look in this line and they would look fantastic together on a shelf.

We are huge fans of the Page Punchers line from McFarlane Toys. The idea is that you get an awesome-looking action figure based on a specific look from a comic book and you also get a comic book in the package as well.
This Flash action figure is really cool as he has one of the most stylish-looking headpieces of any Flash incarnation. He also comes with some bright flash lighting and a stand too.

When it comes to comic book video games, one of the best is the fighting game Injustice 2. We love how well McFarlane has managed to capture his costume from the game with this awesome Flash action figure.
He seems to be a bit more muscular here and the accessories are fun as you can make him look like he is doing one of his special moves from the game. You also get a stand and a fun collectible art card in the box too.

We are going back to the Page Puncher series, but this time things are a little smaller. No, we are not talking about The Atom, we are talking about the smaller 3-inch Page Punchers series.
This is a really cool Flash action figure as it is based on his costume from the epic Flashpoint series. There are not many action figures of this scale that are this detailed so it looks great on display, plus you get the first issue of Flashpoint which is awesome.
Good To Know
- Scale: 3 inch
- Series: DC Page Punchers 3 inch
- This is something that looks great loose, but the whole package if you keep it on the card can really pop when you hang it on the wall.

Say what you will about Ezra Miller (and we are not condoning his antics at all) but he was great as Barry Allen in The Justice League movie and The Flash movie coming in 2023 looks a ton of fun!
McFarlane did a wonderful job in bringing The Justice League movie to the Multiverse line. The Ezra Miller license here is really well done and we love how you can pose it in all kinds of dynamic poses.
Good To Know
- Scale: 7 inch
- Series: DC Multiverse Justice League Movie
- You can also get Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Aquaman in this series and they all have their movie counterparts' likenesses which is cool.

Back when McFarlane got the DC license, it was also announced that Spin Master got the license to make “toys” that were aimed at younger people. Well, their DC line became insanely popular with kids and big kids alike!
These are just so much fun and this comes with a very cool, comic-book-style Flash and also Shazam! These are so much fun to display and play with and each figure comes with some neat accessories.
Good To Know

Ok, we have a Flash action figure that is a bit different here as we are going from Barry to Wally West with this awesome Kid Flash action figure.
The yellow and red of Wally’s suit looks so cool and he comes with a bunch of neat accessories that allow you to get pretty creative when you pose him so it can look like he is running through the speed force.
You also get a display stand and that classic collectible art card as well. If you already have a Barry Allen Flash figure and want someone perfect to go with him, you cannot go wrong with Kid Flash!
Good To Know
- Scale: 7 inch
- Series: DC Multiverse
- McFarlane has not made many Wally West action figures and we have a feeling this one could become a bit harder to find.

We just had a look at Wally West and now we have another cool Flash action figure in Jay Garrick. How can you not love the classic look of this Jay Garrick figure?
He has his iconic helmet with the wings and his whole red, yellow, and blue ensemble has such an old-school silver-age of comic book look to it that it will be a standout figure in your collection.
He comes with some fun accessories that you can clip onto his arms and legs to make it look like he is running!
Good To Know
- Scale: 7 inch
- Series: DC Multiverse
- If you want a more classic Flash action figure, you do not get much more classic than Jay Garrick!
FAQs About Flash Action Figures
We know it can be tricky to decide what the best Flash action figure is, that is why we have this FAQ to help you stay inside the speed force and do not end up causing havoc throughout time!
Are McFarlane DC Multiverse action figures compatible with Marvel Legends?
Some people may want to display DC and Marvel characters together and if you look at our recent Wolverine action figure guide, you know that we love Marvel Legends. Anyway, Marvel Legends and DC Multiverse are the mainline comic book action figures these days.
They can look great together, but we would take it on a figure-by-figure basis as usually, DC Multiverse figures can be just a tad taller than Marvel Legends which may look odd on display.
What style of Flash should I go for?
One of the things that can make finding the best Flash action figure for your collection hard is that there is so much choice.
There are Flash figures based on the hit Grant Gustin-led TV series, you have Ezra Miller-inspired Justice League figures and you, of course, have a ton based on his look from the comic books, animated series, and even video games!
In our humble opinion, you want to go for the one that represents the version of The Flash that you like best, you can then add more to the collection later if you think that one Flash is not enough.
If you're open to seeing a totally different Flash, check out the McFarlane DC Multiverse Speed Metal - Dark Flash too.
Wait! Do Not Leave The Speed Force Just Yet
As always, thank you so much for running fast with us today to try and find the best Flash action figure. We know that the DC Multiverse series has dominated this list, but to be fair, that was always going to happen as they have the master license for DC action figures these days.
Anyway, The Flash is 100 percent a character that has to be in your collection, and thanks to his iconic costume, no matter which one you get, he will pop on the shelf.
Now in the words of Iris Allen, “Run Barry, Run!”…. Run to the toy store and buy a bunch of Flash action figures, ok so we may have made part of that up, but again, thanks for reading, and have a speedtastic day!
