Star Trek Into Toys R Us – Star Trek Select Exclusives to Join Minimates On TRU Shelves

DC Collectibles Reveals New 52 Deathstroke

DC Collectibles has been playing the Spoiler Alert game over the past few days, and have revealed the upcoming New 52 Deathstroke. Seeing it now, it seems obvious, but I was amazed that folks had spotted Deathstroke’s boot in the first shot. By the third teaser, everyone was crying out for old Slade.

Seeing as Deathstroke will be DLC for Arkham Origins, I imagine we’ll see another version of him soon. But it does beg the question: with one successful season on the books, when will we see Deathstroke from the Arrow TV series? How about Arrow action figures, period? Seems right up DC Collectibles’ alley.
