    Are These Newest Blackest Night Figures Better Than Sliced Bread?

    As you may have noticed, the best tie-in to the Blackest Night story arc is the action figures, most of which are pictured above. There are still a couple more series to be released within this year, including some featured in last month's previews catalog. These have all been top-of-the notch figures, and I personally have picked up everything that has come out, even Boodikka. So far, the two best seem to be Kryb and Martian Manhunter, and this next batch looks very promising. They will be released on August 4th, 2010.

    So, for those who aren't aware, we have (from left to right) Black Lantern Batman, Nekron, Hawkman, and Deadman. They'll probably cost ya about $15-$18 a pop. The Hawkman and Deadman look amazing, and I'm sure they'll look even better in person. Nekron looks good, but I'm not that excited personally, and BN Batman, a character who appeared on like 3 panels, is one of the few I probably won't buy. That's all personal preference though. This next one, is one you'll for sure want in your collection...

    What we have here is the grand-daddy of deluxe DC Direct figures: standing at 9 inches tall, Sinestro Corps Mongul. If you've been reading Green Lantern Corps, then you know about the on-going battle between Sinestro Corps and the Mongul Corps, both teams sporting the Yellow Rings. This puppy is going to set you back $20-$25 bucks and will be the 4th Sinestro Corps figure. (Sinestro, Kryb, and Cyborg Superman) Now, Mongul didn't play a part in the Blackest Night Saga (unless he comes back for some reason), but he was a huge part leading up it it. The sculpt looks dead on, except he has two eyes. Mongul has his fingers full of rings, and the Sinestro Corps logo on his chest. This is a MUST HAVE for Green Lantern figure collectors.

    Will we see more figures?  What about the recent team of Blue Lantern Flash, Red Lantern Mera, Star Sapphire Wonder Woman, Orange Lantern Lex Luthor, Sinestro Corps Scarecrow, and Indigo Lantern Atom? Green/Blue Lantern Ganthet? What about some minor Black Lantern figures like Green Arrow? Will we see more figures from this line? I for one hope so!
     

     Thanks Catmanexe for the update! 

    "announced in Toyfare #150
      
     Wave 6 (November 2010)
    -Arkillo
    -BL Hawkgirl
    -2 mystery figures

    Wave 7 (January 2011)
    -Hal Jordan (not sure if it's a new sculpt or a rehash of the old one)
    -Possibly a 2-pack of Scar and BL Terra
     
    The DC Direct rep also mentioned they're working on retooling the Infinite Crisis Mongul (see above)figure to resemble his current look. Even better, he said they don't plan on quitting until Dex-Starr gets his due. "

     
      What figures from the new line will you guys pick up? And MORE IMPORTANTLY... What figures do you guys want to see? (Post pictures!)

    @G-Man: I already have the GL Series Black Hand, but the more and more I see that figure, the more and more I want it.... I'm going to break down and buy it, I know it.

    I ordered the Mongul figure and I couldn't remember if it was $25 or $20. 
    Aside from that, I REALLY want a Scarecrow figure, I've been waiting for him to turn since Sinestro War

    I really want Arkillo. I'm still trying to get Walker, Indigo, Larfleeze, and red lantern though.  The temporary lanterns all look cool, I would love to get a indigo Ray Palmer and violet wonder woman. Does anyone know if Sinestro will ever get added to the BN figures, this story is probably more about him than it is Hal.

    @burr787: 
    doubt it. Sinestro already has a figure in the same costume.
    from what i read in an interview DC Direct wants to only do
    characters they havent, or at least versions. most of the 
    Lanterns have to be there as tier figures to promote the lines,
    or at least one popular hero, like Batman.
     
    lame i know, but not mine. it was in the interview
    i read with the DC Direct people.
