Just another nerd.
This is a New 52 Shazam statue from ArtFX due for release at the end of the year. This thing is freaking hideous. It looks like Captain Marvel’s undergone a few too many plastic surgeries or something. And seriously with those boots…really?
This is, however, a pretty good reimagining of a young Liberace as a vampire.
For the most part, I have absolutely no interest in and do not understand the appeal of superhero statutes. Action figures, yes; statues, no.
Occasionally, though, a company like Kotobukiya comes out with something like this amazing Deathstroke statue and the fanboy in me is all like “Daaaamn…hide my wallet.”
Deathstroke is one of the best villains/anti-heroes in the DC Universe, and this statue really does him justice.
Another entry in DC Comics’ line of Lantern-related replica. Because, you know,
In fearful day, in raging night
with strong hearts full, our souls ignite
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
look to the stars–for hope burns bright!
(No, I don’t think it was a good idea for DC to unleash the powers of the rainbow in their Green Lantern storylines–surprised they didn’t do a Skittles tie-in).
This is a really well done action figure for the New 52 version of Black Adam. I’m just not so sure about the new look.
Black Adam never wore a cape until New 52, and with that hood he looks like a very pissed off Dr. Strange.
This Medicom Real Action Heroes version of Harley Quinn from Batman: Hush is pretty much the last word in HQ action figures.
DC is going all-in on its line of Power Battery and Ring replicas. Hence, I give you the Orange Lantern prop for the low, low price of $199.95.
In case you’re not up on DC continuity, yes, there is an Orange Lantern Corps:
An Orange Lantern Ring is powered by avarice, or greed. The wielders of the Orange Power Rings are covered in a deeper aura than members of other Corps. According to Ganthet, “the orange light of avarice will be discovered and manipulated by a being whose greed knows no bounds”.[2] The Controllers, an off-shoot of the Oan race, were searching the Vega star-system for the orange light in order to create their own Corps.[3]
