DC Direct held its panel today – I was not able to attend, but Buzzy did – I’ll ask him to fill in the blanks at a later time. But they did have three action figure lines in their display area. In continuity order, they had Brightest Day, Flashpoint, and the debut of their DCnU figures.

In the first installment, I talked about setting up a new action figure display consisting of shelving cubes, after we put in new carpet.
