DC Previews – DC Direct – On Sale in July through November

DC Direct has sent out their solicitations for March. Most of the items are scheduled to be available in stores in November. The most notable exception are the Flashpoint action figures, due in July – perhaps these were not solicited earlier to keep story plot points under wraps. I’m just glad to see more figures coming from DC Direct – the last two months of solicitations didn’t include any, and that led to some speculation, with the recent DC reorganization and consolidation to Los Angeles.

Read on for product descriptions.

FLASHPOINT SERIES 1 ACTION FIGURES

First, the DC Universe was plunged into darkness with BLACKEST NIGHT. Then BRIGHTEST DAY burned away the night.

And now?

EVERYTHING CHANGES IN A FLASH!

Comics’ next big event is not a dream, or an imaginary story, or an elseworld.

But for Barry Allen?

It could be his worst nightmare.

The world as Barry Allen knows it has changed. With humankind on the abyss’ edge of a cataclysmic war, Earth’s Greatest Heroes are nowhere to be found. It’s up to Cyborg, America’s last hope, to gather forces new and old from across the Universe.

If The Flash can’t find the villain who altered the timeline, the world may have no future at all.

Written by Geoff Johns with art by Andy Kubert, FLASHPOINT changes the DC Universe as we know it!

All four Flashpoint figures feature multiple points of articulation and include a display base. Character-appropriate accessories are also included.

  • CYBORG – 6.75” h
  • THE FLASH – 6.75” h
  • WONDER WOMAN – 6.75” h
  • BATMAN – 6.75” h
