AME-COMI HEROINE SERIES: RAVEN PVC FIGURE

SCULPTED BY SAM GREENWELL

OH MY GOTH!

Sweeping shadows in black and midnight blue, post-punk pretty Raven keeps her emotions in check so the dark magic of her heritage doesn’t devour her whole.

Caped in swirling dark waves, this gloomcookie’s cloak of night locks in screaming lost souls, bats and beasts and terrors with teeth – including monster dad, the demon Trigon.

WONDER WOMAN #600 STATUE

BASED ON THE ART OF DON KRAMER

SCULPTED BY JACK MATHEWS

Paradise lost …

Concrete jungle found.

The gods of Olympus abandoned the Amazons, leaving Paradise Island to its destruction.  As Amazons were slaughtered, Queen Hippolyta ordered her daughter smuggled away, as retreating warriors were scattered to the four corners of the Earth.

And now …

In a bolt of lightning and a rumble of thunder, Wonder Woman is back in black … and red, and blue.  Diana rules over the rock ‘n’ rubble, ready to roll and take on those who still seek to destroy the refugee Amazons.

In biker boots and bracelets, the Amazon Princess screams dark and dangerous. Sleek and streamlined, Diana’s new costume oozes badittude and ready-for-fighting functionality. Inner-city smart and street-fighter savvy, this urban Amazon is heavy on metal and tough in leather.

With a new costume designed by Jim Lee, this statue is inspired by the variant cover of WONDER WOMAN #600. The statue is hand-painted, cold-cast in porcelain, measures approximately 9.75” high x 4.75” wide x 3.75” deep, and is packaged in a 4-color box.

Limited Edition.

HARLEY QUINN 1:4 SCALE MUSEUM QUALITY STATUE

SCULPTED BY JONATHAN MATTHEWS

Bud and Lou … and Harley, too!

Madly in love with her spotted darlings, Harley Quinn takes her babies out for a walk, chain-link leash in one hand, pop gun in the other. Out for a stroll, they’re laughing all the way … to the bank.

Little Lou and Baby Bud each hold a piece of what Harley holds near and dear, but with a slice of fear: a stick of dynamite from her Puddin’, The Joker, and a ripped and torn Bat logo from the costume of a certain Gotham City hero.

This classic rendition of the Queen of Crime is the latest addition to DC Direct’s exclusive 1:4 scale museum quality statue series. Harley Quinn’s costume is exquisitely tailored and detailed, while various mixed media elements give this museum quality statue texture and visual interest.

The HARLEY QUINN 1:4 SCALE MUSEUM QUALITY STATUE includes hand-painted resin parts, measures approximately 16.5” high x 10” wide x 14” deep, and is packaged in a 4-color box.
