I think this is the first DC Direct solicitation I’ve seen in a while that doesn’t include at least one item from Blackest Night. No, the Sinestro Corps Lantern, while very cool, doesn’t count. I think it’s a brief respite, though, as I understand more Blackest Night figures are on their way.
DC Direct items solicited this month are due to arrive in October.
DC CHRONICLES: THE SANDMAN STATUE
DC CHRONICLES: DEATH STATUE
SCULPTED BY MICHAEL LOCASCIO
The Sandman and his older sister, Death, are the next in the popular DC Chronicles statue line, celebrating the legacy of Vertigo!
As two of the seven siblings from The Endless, The Sandman and Death have epitomized the very essence of the Vertigo line: smart, serious and edgy. Written by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman, The Sandman saga opened new horizons for comics and graphic novels.
The DC Chronicles statue line has a consistent base, and the retro-style logo on the base further gives the piece a sense of the period from which it originated.
These limited-edition, hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statues measure approximately 7.75” high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for The Sandman and 7.5” high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for Death and each is packaged in a 4-color box with a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity.
Limited Editions.
Manufactured to order.
Sold separately.
