DC Direct has sent over new pics and descriptions for items arriving in stores in the coming months. Seeing the statue for Owlman from the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths animated movie has given me conflicted feelings.
I really want action figures of the modern Crime Syndicate, but Mattel already said they weren’t doing figures for this movie. I’d be torn if DCD did figures, because I think they’d probably be out of scale for my collection, and stylistically, DCD would probably go for a complete match with the animated style, like they did for the Doomsday figures. Also, while the Owlman design is cool, I still think the comic costume would be the best.
