I hope we’ll see a lot of this and more at San Diego Comic-Con. Here’s DC Direct’s August previews for items that will arrive oh so far away, in March next year. If you thought you were going to get some respite from Blackest Night figures, you are – but if the sales do well then we’ll be buried in Brightest Day figures.
ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN: GREEN LANTERN VS. SINESTRO STATUE SET
DESIGNED & SCULPTED BY TIM BRUCKNER
The Ultimate Showdown series is DC Direct’s unique, new interactive concept for high-quality collectible statues featuring the world’s greatest heroes and villains squaring off in deadly combat.
Green Lantern delivers a green energy blast to Sinestro, as the Corps’ arch-nemesis burns with yellow fire.
Each character is displayed on a specially designed stand-alone base intended to “interact” with the other statues in the series and to be displayed in a myriad of ways. The statues can pivot independently on their bases and rotate their heads to customize and direct the action. Collect all the other statue sets in the series! Mix and match them to create your own showdown or combine them all in one ultimate battle scene.
These hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statues measure approximately:
- Green Lantern: 7.35” high x 4.5” wide x 5.25” deep
- Sinestro: 8” high x 4.5” wide x 5” deep
Each set is packaged together in a 4-color box.
