Brightest Day Lantern Rings – How to Get Them All

In all the excitement about Toy Fair, I nearly missed this announcement about Brightest Day rings. The DC Comics promotion for Blackest Night rings was so successful that they are running another promotion for the upcoming bi-weekly Brightest Day series. This time they’ll be offering new Hal Jordan Green Lantern ring and Barry Allen Flash rings with the purchase of selected comic books.

I’m not sure if it’s the same this time around, but with Blackest Night, comic stores had to order a specific amount of comics, otherwise they wouldn’t qualify for the promotion. So if your local comic book store isn’t big enough, they might not have the rings available. Luckily, here’s a no hassle way to get these two rings in one shot.

Buy a Comic, Get a Brightest Day Ring FREE!

DC Comics’ Blackest Night Ring promotion went so well last year, they’ve introduced two new rings that tie into their Brightest Day event! Special-Edition The Flash and Green Lantern rings have been released, and you can get them–FREE–when you purchase The Flash #1 and Green Lantern #53.

Head on over to our Brightest Day Rings page, and you’ll see you’ve got two options: either buy individual issues without the rings, or choose the comics-with-rings options. The rings are free, but you will pay a little extra for shipping and handling (most U.S. customers will see a $.50 to $1.00 increase), because we can’t ship the rings in a flat package.

What do you think about the new Brightest Day Rings? Did any of you collect all of the Blackest Night Rings? Post your comments below!

Mego-Styled Lost Figures Available for Pre-Order

The upcoming Mego-styled Lost figures from Bif Bang Pow! are available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth. Series 1 will feature Ben and Kate, and Series 2 will feature Hurley and Locke. Both sets should be available in August.

I wonder how the retro vibe will work for Lost fans. While there’s time travel in the show, I don’t know if that translates into broad appeal for retro collectibles from the show. In contrast, I am starting to see how it makes sense for a license like Venture Bros., where retro is part of the show’s basic makeup.

SOTA “Lightning Blanka” Auction to Support Haiti is Now Live

‘Lightning Blanka’ resin statue for Haiti Relief

Street Fighter ‘Lightning Blanka’ resin statue PROTOTYPE auction for Haiti Relief effort!!

In lieu of the terrible events in Haiti, SOTA Toys has decided to auction off a prototype statue (no reserve!), with ALL profits to be donated to the Red Cross relief effort. This one-off piece, affectionately known as “Lightning Blanka,” is a clear resin statue tinted in blue with lightning arcs painted over the body depicting the character Blanka from the renowned video game series Street Fighter, made by CAPCOM.

It features the same pose as the statue SOTA Toys manufactured and released in 2007, however this particular piece is a concept prototype that was produced but has never gone into production. And after this auction, it never will. As a part of this auction, the winner will receive a certificate of authenticity as well as free shipping to anywhere he or she desires.
