DC Collectibles has released pics of its Earth 2 action figures and their upcoming statue commemorating Neil Gaiman’s return to Sandman. Call me old school, but I find a lot of the new Earth 2 designs hokey. Wonder Woman is the most appealing, with the cues to the Golden Age Wonder Woman, but Green Lantern and especially Flash look particularly silly.

Sideshow has a pretty cool social media contest going on for their 1/6 scale Joker – it normally goes for $189.99 and the Sideshow exclusive comes with a pair of Joker fish.
Each correct answer will give you a chance to win, plus Sideshow’s Susan will give you one chance just for entering – that’s up to 9 chances to win. Good luck!
For those of you who spotted the duo of coins covering Solomon Grundy’s eyes in the week with Solomon Grundy feature earlier this week, your guesses have been confirmed. Two-Face from Batman: Arkham City is joining the DC Collectibles line-up in April next year.
Does this mean another wave of Arkham City figures? More pics and info to come, I’m sure.
During last week’s “Days of Solomon Grundy,” we left a clue to an upcoming 6” action figure in one of the images, and a few of you with eagle eyes were able to spot it. Grundy had two shiny coins placed over his eyes in Saturday’s image. You know which popular villain is known for using a coin, right? That’s right, Two-Face! We’re pleased to inform you that Two-Face will join his fellow Arkham City villains in April 2014.
DC Collectibles ran a nice series of pics for their deluxe Batman: Arkham City Solomon Grundy – they depict the old nursery rhyme that was the inspiration for the DC comic book character. At the end of the week, they wrapped up the series (on Sunday) with a hint that they had teased an upcoming figure in one of the pics.
I’ll give you a clue, based on the smart money – the eyes have it! Solomon Grundy is available on Amazon for a whopping $79.40. He stands over 13-inches tall and has (as you’ll see in the pictures) a removable chest and heart.
I’ll admit I haven’t been paying too much attention to Sideshow Collectibles’ 1/6 scale DC figures, but now that DC Universe Classics is more or less out of circulation for the time being, their announcement of the pre-order for the Sideshow 1/6 scale Catwoman figure has piqued my interest. It’s $189, comes with a ton of accessories, including two heads – both of which have got a serious Michelle Pfeiffer vibe going on. The Sideshow exclusive version comes with a cat idol.
This could be a slippery slope. I’m not sure if Sideshow is teasing an upcoming Batman figure in their pics, or if that’s an older Bats. And the Joker is now in stock, and at the same price, I’m severely tempted.
