DC Direct WonderCon 2010 Exclusive Hal Jordan and Sinestro

DCD WonderCon Exclusive Hal Jordan and Sinestro - Package 2 (1200x902).jpg

When I found about this WonderCon exclusive pair of Blackest Night figures from DC Direct and Graphitti Designs, it reminded me of last year’s San Diego Comic-Con exclusive 5-pack of rainbow-colored Hal Jordans. I did not brave the reportedly horrific lines then – each figure was sold on a different day, and you had to line up in the registration area for a chance to win the right to buy the figure that day.

For the Black Lantern Hal Jordan and White Lantern Sinestro at WonderCon, you still had to line up in the registration area, but if you were lucky, you’d get the chance to buy both figures in one shot. Since I live near San Francisco, the site of WonderCon, I figured I’d take a shot.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank my wife. She came to WonderCon with me, braved the ticket line 6 times, and finally drew the red ticket that let me buy this set. I feel for the folks who endured the pain of this at San Diego last year. If you worked for that set of five Hals, you really earned it.

WonderCon Exclusive DC Direct Hal Jordan and Sinestro from Graphitti Designs

Do you remember the “Rainbow” Hal Jordan set from last year’s San Diego Comic-Con? It was a DC Direct exclusive set of five Hal Jordans, sold at SDCC by Graphitti Designs. At WonderCon (this weekend), they’ll have a new set, this time with Hal as a Black Lantern and Sinestro as the White Lantern – sorry for the spoiler!

At SDCC, the sale was somewhat of a nightmare, because you had to wait in line each day, often multiple times a day, because only a single new figure was offered on each day. You had to be a lucky bastard and put in the work to reap the rewards. At least with this set of two figures, you can pick both up in one shot.

Seventh Kingdom – Ramathorr and Store Horsemen Exclusive Chalice of Guudenuph

I’m a little behind on posting this, but at the end of last year (ok, more than just a little behind), the Four Horsemen held a sale on items at their online store, the Store Horsemen. Although I passed on the “swimsuit” variant of Queen Alluxandra, I had put off picking up a Ramathorr for long enough. And while I was there, I couldn’t help but pick up a Chalice of Guudenuph, the Store Horsemen exclusive variant pink elephant.

This is great news for those of you who were not able to complete the elusive DC Universe Classics Wal-Mart wave 5 from 2 years ago. The wave will be sold as a set of all five figures, including the parts to build the Metallo Collect & Connect figure, on the MattyCollector.com sales date on May 17th.

DCU Wave 5 Is Alive!

DCU Fans,

Back in 2008, we released Wave 5, which was an instant success and subsequently pretty hard to find. If you missed your chance, mark May 17th on your calendar, because Wave 5 is coming back!

This release is identical to the one in 2008 − same package, same decos, not a single change to the figures. Like all our boxed sets, these are individually carded figures packed into a single box. The set has the five figures you need to build a 9” Collect and Connect™ Metallo figure. Take a look inside and you’ll find these classic characters ready to rock your collection:

Eradicator

Black Lightning

Amazo

The Riddler

The Atom

Don’t want to miss your shot at this fan-favorite? If you’re not registered yet for emails, and I’ll send you a reminder. You can also follow me on Twitter where I post reminders.
