Blackest Night Rings Preorders End November 5

Reposting this as a reminder for folks who are looking for an easy way to get all the Blackest Night Lantern Rings.  The pre-order deadlines at TFAW.com for a couple of the comics is November 5.

Collect All Seven Blackest Night Lantern Rings!

GLRings2

If you’re a Green Lantern fan, you know all about Blackest Night, the biggest DC Comics crossover event of the year. But did you know you can collect a complete set of seven Blackest Night Lantern Rings when you buy the comics below?

You have two choices for each issue: either buy just the comic, or choose the comic with ring package. The rings are free, but you will incur a small price jump in shipping (most U.S. customers will see only a $.50 or $1.00 difference) because we can’t ship the rings in a flat package.

Target Exclusive Justice League Unlimited 3-Packs

The Target exclusive Justice League Unlimited 3-Packs are in stores now.

Fwoosher Ham Salad shares his picks of the newest figures to join the line – Blackhawk (from the 3-pack with Superman and Wonder Woman), Amanda Waller and General Eiling (from the 3-pack with Batman), and the Super Friends 3-pack with Black Vulcan, Apache Chief, and Samurai.

Superman Batman Public Enemies Wave 2 Update

I have the first wave of the Target exclusive Superman Batman: Public Enemies 6-inch figures, sans Silver Banshee.  She still eludes me, so I’ve yet to open the rest.  I have a feeling that Major Force will be the tough one to get in Wave 2, and I’m not so in need of Brimstone that I’ll miss him if I don’t get all the pieces.  If it ends up like that, then these will go back to the store.

Since Mattel doesn’t have samples yet, I’m guessing we may not see Wave 2 until December.

Where’s my Brimstone?

A lot of fans have posted asking about the remaining pieces of Brimstone. They will be available with Wave 2 figures shipping to Target later this year. This set will include Black Lightning and Major Force, as well as repaints of Batman in blue and gray and Superman in a more metallic deco. The repaints will include the same Collect and Connect pieces as their Wave 1 decos.

We haven’t received samples yet, but we will post package images as soon as we can.

DC Universe Classics Wave 12 Spectre and Mary Batson Variant Pics

About six weeks ago, Mattel released the press pics of the 2-ups for DC Universe Classics Wave 12.  At the time, they announced that Mary Batson aka Mary Marvel would have a 50/50 variant in her white costume and that Spectre would have a glow in the dark chase variant.

Here are the official pics of the variants, posted by Mattel today on their Facebook page.  In contrast with the original press pics, I believe these are production samples, not 2-ups.
