    Brightest Day

    Story arc »

    Once dead, 12 heroes and villains were resurrected by a white light expelled deep from within the center of the Earth. Deemed a miracle by many and a sign of the apocalypse by others, the reasons behind their rebirths remain a mystery. But it will not be a mystery for long.

    DC's The Source recently revealed the newest series of action figures from DC Direct, and this time, it's based off of the current hit book Brightest Day by Geoff Johns. The first two series include 6 of the 12 brought back during Blackest Night and one character who wasn't resurrected:  Aquaman, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl Deadman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, Hawkman, and Mera. Series one will be released in March. 

    For those paying attention: This will be the second Mera action figure we'll see in the stores in a 12 month period. We'll see the Red Lantern version of her this November in the Blackest Night series, and then a normal version of her in the Brightest Day ever. I never thought I'd see a Mera figure come out. Just thought I'd point that out.
     
    According to a few online stores, wave one will contain Aquaman, Deadman, Super-Shiny Green Arrow, and Hawkgirl. As stated before, we'll see these figures come out in March of 2011. My biggest problem with these figures is that Deadman has a mask on. Why can't we have a Boston Brand figure without the mask since he has it off during the series and we've never had a Deadman figure without a mask. What figures do you want to pick up? How shiny is Green Arrow compared to your other figures?

      I'm guessing Ollie's role in Brightest Day is bigger than I thought it was seeing as he's getting an action figure.

    His ongoing is all about the Brightest Day. 
     
    I want those Aquaman, Mera, Green Arrow and Hawkman figures... Sadly, I wont pay $30 for each one (bloody Aus), so I'll probably never get them.

    I was just checking those figures. Hell, there are some other pre-orders with such cool prices to give you enough strokes. Green Arrows vest is as shiny as Aquamans pants.

    I know that, its just that me being a hardcore Flash fan and all, I'd MUCH rather buy an exclusive action figure of either Cap Boomerang or Prof Zoom than any of these other characters (well, except maybe the Aquaman figure, that looks pretty cool), and seriously do we really NEED another Mera figure anyway? (no offense to Mera fans, of course ;) I dunno, maybe I'm just getting too harsh with this, I honestly could care less about Brightest Day (Blackest Night was better anyway), I just REALLY wish that someday, the Flash & many of his supporting characters and villains would be as well-loved, as popular, and as respected as many of the Green Lantern, Batman, and Superman characters are nowadays :/

    @Amegashita: True, but he still ties in. Plus he's high profile and didn't get a Blackest Night figure, so it makes sense that he gets one now.

    These figs are ok, but I'd like to see some with the level of detail that's put on, let's say, the Mcfarlane toylines?  Hawkgirl looks a tad disproportionate from the waist down.  So does Mera. 
     
    I dunno, I like the Blackest Night series better. These action figures don't really make me say "I gotta get 'em NOW!" They're ok. but they could be better.  
     
    I may get Aquaman, mera and J'onn...just to apease the fanboy in me....

    The Deadman figure will have one without mask and I'm thinking of picking up both of them if you check out the dc direct site they have four of them up already.

    25 points of articulation should be the minimal standard for action figures... i dont know why they call dc direct action figures.. dc direct is are plastic statues ... u cant get any good and dynamic poses from them.. whats the point just buy a statue its a little more money but its a way better piece of art... same thing can be said about marvel selects but at least they better articulation and the bigger figs like thanos and the hulks and still be put to good use in a display with real action figures
