DC Universe Classics Wave 14 and Green Lantern 5-Pack First Looks – TheFwoosh.com

In case you missed them this week, VeeBee posted a series of First Looks at the Fwoosh for four of the figures from DC Universe Classics Wave 14 and the Wal-Mart exclusive Green Lantern’s Light 5-pack. I’ll post a few of the pics here, but you really should check out those First Looks. Let’s start off with the original boy who lived.

Kamandi

So, I am on cloud nine about FINALLY having this figure, and I know I have not been waiting as long as some who read the original issues as they were published. So, if you actually don’t like Kamandi – neener-neener! We have a Kamandi figure!!! If you don’t know about him – do some reading! And if you still aren’t convinced, you have to get him to build your Humanite.

DC Direct September Solicitations

Looks like DC Direct will leverage the year-long Brightest Day event in the comics in its action figure line-ups. Blackest Night produced eight series of figures – with these previews, Brightest Day is on its second series, due in comic book stores in April next year. I think we’ll see some pretty interesting character choices if we get to eight or more series in this line, and I’m really liking what we’ve seen thus far.

Between upcoming figures in DC Universe Classics, the Green Lantern 5-Pack, and the Green Lantern Classics line (of which one series is still to be revealed), you may think Mattel has tapped out the GL franchise when it comes to comics-based figures. How wrong you would be!

In honor of the 75th Anniversary of DC Comics, we’ve compiled a list of what we consider the 75 top candidates for Green Lantern action figures, from classic to modern, and from humanoid to not even close to being from this planet – and a planet itself!

Your job is to pick the Top Ten characters you want made into action figures. Submit your vote for up to ten characters listed below. The poll will stay open through the end of August, and we’ll announce the results a couple of days later. Let’s convince Mattel to make Green Lantern Classics Waves 3 and 4!

You can discuss this Top Ten poll in this thread at the Fwoosh. Big thanks to WeaponXII and Piffy for compiling the character roster and pictures for the poll.

Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Sandman

Here’s my top three “Best in Show” at SDCC this year!

3) Green Lantern Classics

I had not bought monthly comic books in a long time, but the Blackest Night storyline got me coming back every month when the series was still going on. Green Lantern has been on a roll lately, and with the movie coming out next year, it’s high time that Mattel finally gives this corner of the DC Universe it’s due. Seriously, the Green Lantern Corps alone could fill up a couple of waves, now that we have a rainbow spectrum of corps, there are lots more characters to choose from!

We got to see a double knee-jointed Kyle Rayner, Arkillo, Low(one of my favorite sculpts!), Maash, and Manhunters at the Con and boy do they look great. I can’t wait until they get to Atrocitus, Saint Walker and Arisia! Also this line is just full of potential army builders. You can expect collectors to pick up multiple Manhunters, and customizers to pick up multiple base bodies to create their own corps members. It’ll be an exciting time for Green Lantern toy fans next year! And woohoo for that preview Ch’p pic!
