DC HeroClix Blackest Night Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman as a Star Sapphire is the one deputy appointment from Blackest Night that I found tough to swallow. I haven’t read a lot of her books, but my notion of Amazon is that of a warrior woman. Still, it was interesting that her Blackest Night tie-in revealed that her unrequited love interest is… Batman?

The final DC HeroClix Blackest Night preview is the most powerful one of them all!

Wonder Woman

Though Wonder Woman has proven herself a hero time and again in battle, the message she always seeks to spread in the mortal world is one of peace, equality, and love. During the Blackest Night, Wonder Woman’s earlier death and resurrection by the Greek gods opened her to the influence of Nekron and the Black Lanterns – but her immense love for the planet Earth and all its people allowed her to be saved by accepting a violet power ring and joining the Star Sapphires.

The DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game will be in comic and hobby stores on May 12, 2010. The Starter Game includes everything you need to play HeroClix: seven HeroClix figures, the 2010 HeroClix Rulebook, a map (The Oan Sciencells) and more–reserve your copy at your local retailer!

Hot Toys MMS The Dark Knight Two-Face

I keep sliding down that slippery slope of high end collectibles. I knew after I got the Hot Toys DX MMS Joker that I’d end up getting more from The Dark Knight line. I already have a DX MMS Batman on pre-order, but had to go back to pick up a Harvey Dent / Two-Face. As great as these figures are, I’ve still got some sticker shock, since I’m used to buying figures in the $10 – $15 range – but luckily I found some good deals on the Hot Toys MMS Two-Face on eBay. After opening him up, I’d have been just as happy paying retail.

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Atom

The Blackest Night Starter Kit reveals return, with the Atom in his Blue Lantern deputy tribal outfit. This is probably my least favorite of the deputy costumes, but the translucent effects look pretty spectacular.

The search for Ray Palmer is over. He’s in the DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game!

The Atom

A stalwart member of the Justice League, Ray Palmer’s life was torn apart when he discovered that his love Jean Loring was a murderer. Even after taking a pilgrimage into the multiverse in search of a new purpose, the Atom found he still felt empathy for Loring and all those who had brought evil upon the innocent. In the rise of the Blackest Night, the Atom’s rare compassion allowed him to join the Indigo Tribe and wield the power of their light.

NECA BioShock 2 Big Sister and Little Sister Two-Pack

With the upcoming release of BioShock 2 this Tuesday, February 9th, let’s have a look at NECA’s BioShock 2: Big Sister and Little Sister 2-pack. Now I have to admit I never played the first game (I plan to though!), so I have no idea what BioShock’s story is, but when I saw these at my local Toys R’ Us, I couldn’t resist and I decided to pick this set up. The character designs just look too awesome to ignore! I was also curious about the articulation and I was hoping they weren’t going to be statues. I loved what NECA had done with Street Fighter and Ninja Gaiden’s Ryu Hayabusa in regards to articulation, and I was hoping they did the same to these figures.

New Avatar Figures?

While this may not be as Earth-shattering as new figures from DC Universe Classics, Marvel Universe, and Iron Man, Toyfare #152 is also set to give us our first look at new Avatar figures.

No, we’re not talking about more 10-foot tall blue-skinned Avatars from the James Cameron flick – this refers to The Last Airbender, the live action film by M. Night Shyamalan based on the animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Some of you may remember the action figure line by Mattel (who coincidentally has the license for James Cameron’s Avatar). For the movie, however, it’s Spin Master that was awarded the license last summer, and will be producing a line of 3.75-inch figures.

Toyfare #152, on sale this Wednesday, reveals the first wave of figures:

Aang with Momo and staff
Aang with glider
Sokka with boomerang
Prince Zuko with broadsword
Blue Spirit (no spoilers!) with dual broadswords

Will Avatar fans finally get a Katara figure? The jury’s still out.
