When we originally posted about the DC Brightest Day Rings promotion, they had not yet announced that a White Lantern ring would also be available – probably because they didn’t want to spoil the revelation in Blackest Night #7 (no complaints – that was only a mini-spoiler!)
Things From Another World has updated their all-in-one Brightest Day Rings page accordingly, so you’ll be able to easily get all three of the upcoming Brightest Day rings in one shot. Happy shopping!
A: Actually having space to display them! 🙂
A few months ago I wrote about having to dismantle my “toy room” because we had decided to put in new carpet, and then about getting to put together a new and improved display. This past weekend, I put the finishing touches on some upgrades.

Since I made a new Batman, could a new Robin be far behind?
When the DCUC Wave 3 Robin came out I was a little disappointed in it. The Mattel version has a great sculpt and good articulation but (IMO) it’s just too dang short for this version of Tim Drake. So a little over a year ago I made a custom Robin that was taller. After posting in my gallery on Fwoosh, it was snapped up by a BIG DCUC fan. Then I made 2 more for a couple people who also thought the DCUC Robin wasn’t right either. When it was all said and done, I still didn’t have a taller Robin on my shelf.
One of my earlier custom Robins made with a DCUC Sinestro body, biceps, upper legs, Robin head, forearms, lower legs, belt and cape.

I think this is the first DC Direct solicitation I’ve seen in a while that doesn’t include at least one item from Blackest Night. No, the Sinestro Corps Lantern, while very cool, doesn’t count. I think it’s a brief respite, though, as I understand more Blackest Night figures are on their way.
DC Direct items solicited this month are due to arrive in October.
DC CHRONICLES: THE SANDMAN STATUE
DC CHRONICLES: DEATH STATUE
SCULPTED BY MICHAEL LOCASCIO
The Sandman and his older sister, Death, are the next in the popular DC Chronicles statue line, celebrating the legacy of Vertigo!
As two of the seven siblings from The Endless, The Sandman and Death have epitomized the very essence of the Vertigo line: smart, serious and edgy. Written by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman, The Sandman saga opened new horizons for comics and graphic novels.
The DC Chronicles statue line has a consistent base, and the retro-style logo on the base further gives the piece a sense of the period from which it originated.
These limited-edition, hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statues measure approximately 7.75” high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for The Sandman and 7.5” high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for Death and each is packaged in a 4-color box with a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity.
Limited Editions.
Manufactured to order.
Sold separately.
Advance-solicited; on sale October 20, 2010 * Statues * $99.99 US The Sandman • $99.99 US Death
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.
