DC Direct February Solicitations

September of this year won’t see any new Blackest Night figures – could the onslaught be ending? – but we will see reissues of Indigo, Atrocitus, Earth-2 Superman, and Saint Walker.  And, wow, an Arkham Asylum Batman statue in the Black and White line?  It’s a start, but I really want to get some super-articulated action figures for the game.
