ItsAllTrueReview: DC Classics – Darkseid & Desaad

So yeah, I wasn't looking forward to DCUC12 back when the photos were leaked. Desaad, I was happy with, but Darkseid was a different story. It's not that there was anything wrong with the figure, I just let myself get excited thinking it might be more true to the Super Powers version. I started to think about the cape, the medallion, and the general look of the Super Powers figure. Y'know, the one that got me interested in Darkseid in the first place and that’s what I started hoping to get. I love that version. When I read Darkseid’s appearances in the comics, I still hear Frank Welker's deep, husky Darkseid voice.*

Most Requested Figures: Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

On Tuesday, Warner Bros. released Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, their latest direct-to-DVD animated movie. I'm sure that most of you have noticed we happen to love DC Comics here at IAT and this was a must-buy for all of us. So we trekked out into the cold, bought our multiple copies, and then all headed for Noisy’s house so we could watch it together. I know what you're thinking, but that’s how we roll.

Spoilers: In this article, we're discussing a recent DVD release. Now, we won't spoil the ending, but we might drop a few plot details and we'll definitely be talking about characters that appeared in the film. Proceed of your own accord...

ItsAllTrueReview: DC Direct’s
Larfleeze & Blackest Night Checklist

Click here to jump directly to the Blackest Night Checklist.

With Mattel not having access to upcoming DC events until they happen, DC Direct has been given the chance to strike when the iron is hot and produce figures much closer to what's relevant in the current storylines then Mattel can. DC Direct is taking advantage of this with the New Krypton* (via ActionFigureInsider.Com) line and, of course, with Blackest Night.

* - I don't even know anything about that white cloaked Superwoman, but I like the figure a lot!

ItsAllTrueReview: DC Classics – Dr. Mid-Nite & Copperhead

So, I have to fess up. I wasn't terribly excited for DCUC12. There were a few reasons. Only a couple characters were shouting out to me. I wasn't excited as the prospect of a huge Darkseid. I didn't know how cool the Four Horsemen could make a Metal Man. Well, it's been nearly half a year since I expressed my doubts about DCUC12. I've had the figures for about a week now. Was I impressed? Did I change my mind? You'll have to read on to find out. First up is Doctor Mid-Nite & Copperhead.
