DC Universe Classics Wave 12 Packaged Pics – Win a White Variant Mary Batson

My set of DC Universe Classics Wave 12 arrived the other day.  For now, here’s some packaged pics of the entire wave minus the Spectre glow-in-the-dark chase variant.  I’ve liked the packaging redesign since I first saw pictures of it, but having them in hand has made me appreciate it even more.

I noticed after taking the pictures that the trade paperbacks I used to prop my camera up are reflected in some of the package fronts.  Oops!

So, as a little contest for a shot at my white-costumed variant Mary Batson, I’ll pick one winner at random from folks who leave a comment on this article that lists out the titles of the TPBs I used as a tripod-substitute.  The eligible folks will be the ones who correctly identify the most titles (there’s four in total – 3 comic book TPBs and 1 manual), and I’ll cut off the entries when we post our Mattel coverage for Toy Fair.

Take a close look, add a comment with your guesses, and good luck.  And while you’re at it, use the links below this article to subscribe to AFP!

Stay tuned for a closer look at wave 12, coming soon.

Mego-Styled Lost Figures Available for Pre-Order

The upcoming Mego-styled Lost figures from Bif Bang Pow! are available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth. Series 1 will feature Ben and Kate, and Series 2 will feature Hurley and Locke.  Both sets should be available in August.

I wonder how the retro vibe will work for Lost fans. While there’s time travel in the show, I don’t know if that translates into broad appeal for retro collectibles from the show. In contrast, I am starting to see how it makes sense for a license like Venture Bros., where retro is part of the show’s basic makeup.

DC HeroClix Blackest Night Scarecrow

The HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Kit reveals continue with Scarecrow as a deputy of the Sinestro Corps.  The detail on the new digital sculpts continues to impress.

Fear

Paging Dr. Crane. Paging Dr. Crane. Please report to the DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game.

SCARECROW

Though his fear toxins gave him the ability to instill fear in nearly everyone, long exposure to the chemicals made the Scarecrow himself unable to feel terror–except when he was pursued by Batman. In the wake of the Dark Knight’s death, the Scarecrow was on the brink of despair–until in the Blackest Night the Scarecrow found a new purpose when he was given a yellow power ring and a place in the Sinestro Corps!

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!
