DC Direct Blackest Night Behind the Scenes

If you picked up the Blackest Night #1 Director’s Cut this week, you were treated to a host of extras for the issue, like the issue’s script, character concept art, and this brief behind the scenes look at how DC Direct produced its Blackest Night Hal Jordan figure.

It’s very cool to see the process that takes a character from 2-dimensional reference art, through various stages of sculpting, and finally to the painted prototype stage. Series 4 of the Blackest Night line is on shelves now, and Series 7 and 8, due in November and December, were just announced.

If DC Direct follows this up with a compatible Brightest Day series, it could rival the longevity of the Ed McGuinness and Alex Ross lines.

The sides and top of the package come apart easily enough, and fold down so you can free the figures from their prisons. Each figure also comes with a figure stand with a tiny paper name plate that sticks in front of it.

Masters of the Universe Classics – Evil-Lyn – TheFwoosh.com

We should have our own review of the Masters of the Universe Classics Evil-Lyn from Sandman up in a few days, but in the meantime, take a gander at these awesome shots from MatthewK at the Fwoosh.

Evil-Lyn was one of my favorite He-Man figures as a kid, so I was looking forward to her debut in Masters of the Universe Classics. I was also very impressed with the prototype when they finally showed her off in Toyfare magazine. The final figure has lived up to my expectations completely.
