Scarecrow technically hasn't had a proper DC Universe Classics figure. Sure, there's the old DC Superheroes figure from long ago (and I do like that one), but this Scarecrow figure makes me realize that we need a new one. Yeah, Sinestro Corps (Yellow Lantern?) Scarecrow is that cool.
Anti-Monitor Week rolls on with a review of Lex Luthor during his brief stint as an Orange Lantern Deputy. Normally, I wouldn't be too excited for this particular figure. Two things though: orange is one of my favorite colors. And I love translucent figures. Now, if only I enjoyed crazy, armored up Lex Luthor...
Was there a character you've been wanting from DC Classics only to be disappointed by the figure? Old Fogey Alan Scott maybe? Uni-boob Starfire? It can be maddening when a figure you wanted doesn't come out well. Indigo Atom isn't one of those. No, he's a figure you prolly don't want - but he's awesome.
I found this review particularly difficult to write. Some figures you love right away, some figures make you love them, some figures just fill out the shelf a bit (or came with a critical C&C piece), and some figures you buy only because you maintain a DC Universe Classics Checklist. These guys are the last two.
Here I was minding my own business on Twitter today when I saw a strange tweet beaming out of the Mattel offices. They're announcing a new Mattycollector program, purposely light on details, called "Mad Matty Mondays". It sounds like a great deal, if only you knew what you were buying...
It's been a little over two months since "Armless Stel" Week concluded here at IAT. I had the rare opportunity to pick up the wave at retail before it was available online and I jumped at it, but the lone Star Sapphire I found was particularly subpar. Little did I know that it would be weeks before I saw a second one.
