CC30: DC Universe Two-Pack – The Quick and the Deadly by Ibentmyman-thing

In the Morrison/Quitely Graphic novel Earth 2 we were introduced to a brand new take on the Crime Syndicate of Amerika.

Featuring the modern interpretations of Syndicate mainstays Johnny Quick and Power Ring, this anti-matter duo will be available the 15th of every month until we sell out and will never be produced again (unless you ask us very nicely).

CustomCon 30 – Day Two

Welcome to CustomCon 30, the fifth installment to be hosted by TheFwoosh.com and ActionFigurePics.com!

What is CustomCon?

CustomCon is a special presentation of new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. Ten years in the running, it’s still going strong. Inspired by the presentations of new product by legitimate manufacturers at Toy Fair and other trade shows, CustomCon is a “fake” convention, whereby customizers present their latest creations and recipes as if unveiling a new line of real toys to retailers. It’s always a lot of fun, for both the viewers and the participants.

CC30: Star Sapphire (Silver/Bronze Age) by Hagop

Leaping from the pages of the classic Green Lantern comics of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, it’s Carol Ferris as the deadly and bewitching Star Sapphire!

Made with parts from DC Direct’s original Star Sapphire figure and Green Lantern Classics modern Star Sapphire, with some additional sculpting.

Mattel DC Universe Reign of the Superman Pre-Order at BigBadToyStore.com

Reign of Supermen (1280x1280)

In our last Ask Matty Q&A, we asked about possible Superman figures in 2012 as in a lead-in to Man of Steel, the Superman movie reboot due in 2013. We got a coy “too early to comment” answer, but apparently it’s not too soon for sales information to hit retailers.

AFP sponsor BigBadToyStore.com has Reign of Superman figures for pre-order, with a tentative arrival date in February next year. No pictures were provided, but I am imagining that we’ll be seeing reissues of the classic DC Super Heroes and DC Universe Classics figures that Mattel has delivered over the past several years. I would hope that we see a retooled, larger Doomsday (the original underwhelming Doomsday is pictured above), but we’ll have to see.

BBTS pre-orders include a set of five, and then individual figures for Doomsday, Eradicator, Steel, and Superboy. Cyborg Superman is not listed individually – perhaps he will be shortpacked.
