The Blackest Night is here!
Well the rumors this time are true! Wave 17 for DCUC is coming soon and it is our first step into the Blackest Night!
While we do have more Blackest Night concepts in the wings, this wave should help whet fans appetite for all the colored Lantern goodness!
Black Lantern Hal variant
Indigo Lantern Atom will come with his staff
There is hope with Barry as the Blue Lantern
Even Lex can get more greedy when he is an Orange Lantern. Check out the newly tool’d belt piece…maybe a redeco one day…?
Wonder Woman has never looked so violet!
White Lantern Hal Jordan is ready to take on the Blackest Night!
Yellow Lantern Scarecrow will actually come with a “Hal Jordan” battery in yellow to be comic accurate.
The Collect and Connect Anti-Monitor to power your Black Lanterns!
Wave 17 will consist of Orange Lantern Luthor, Yellow Lantern Scarecrow, White Lantern Hal Jordan (with Black Lantern Variant), Violet Lantern Wonder Woman, Blue Lantern Flash and Indigo Lantern Atom. Together they will create a Collect and Connect modern Anti-Monitor!
And to answer the inevitable question, we did look into Red Lantern Mera. The only way to do her right is with a 100% tool and for that cost we can do 4 other figures. So while she did not make the cut this time around, we do know fans want complete sets and we are committed to one day getting her out there!
For now, a very happy holidays from all of your friends at Mattycollector.com and we’ll see you all in the New Year. Wave 17 will be on sale in late Spring 2011!
If anyone is concerned about DC Direct after the DC “bi-coastal realignment strategy” announcement, they’re still in the business of making action figures. There was quite a bit of new figures to be seen, including Batman Incorporated (above), new Brightest Day figures, Justice League Classic Icons, and more.
