2023 Kayou DC Glory of the Universe Collection

2023 Kayou DC:  Happy New Year!  The Superman trailer dropped last month so we'll kick off this post with The Man of Steel himself.  

These just came to my attention recently and I'm so glad.  They are cool cards.  The stock is thick.  They are printed on "holographic foilboard".  The character cards here look great.  I like the art, design and the color choices.  The foil isn't overdone and the look is nice combined with a thick card.

Plot cards are movie stills from the Justice League, Shazam, Suicide Squad and Black Adam movies. The backs are full size black and white versions of the front photo. 

These are Super Cute cards.  Not my description but the set.  I really like these.  When I saw the photos online I kind of rolled my eyes, but I really like them in hand. 

These are Storyboard cards.  I like the simple feel of a comic book they give us.

Here we have two more Storyboard cards as well as a Rally card.  The Rally cards make a Justice League montage that spells out You Can't Save the World Alone.  I kind of like it.

Kayou is a licensed Chinese brand and it's almost impossible to find out much about these cards.  They are available on AliExpress.  I purchased two boxes.  Each has 10 packs with three cards in each pack.  The boxes they come in are pretty nice.

These are Cinephile cards.  They are nice.  Those colorful backgrounds stound out in foil.

Backs of Character, Storyboard and Cinephile cards.  I like all three.  Simple but good looks on each.

The cost was about $25 for each box.  I really want this whole set.  Singles are tough to come by even on eBay and those prices are tough.  I may grab some more boxes.  With only 30 cards per box and a total of 151 cards that's a tough ask.  We'll see.

This is the Oversized Group Portrait in my box.  Each box comes with one.  Pretty nice.  They are ~6" X 8".  

These were so much fun.  I'll show off my other box in the future and one way or another I'll be picking up more of these.  Great way to start off the New Year!
