An odd pair to be sure, but with theme waves coming I figure I should take advantage of the dissimilar characters offered in DCUC16. I've been looking forward to picking up this version of Riddler. I wanted Hex too, but I had fears about how Mattel would handle him. Sadly for Hex, both figures met my expectations.
Whether it's for a few years or a few panels, all comic book characters change costumes over the course of their publishing history. In Costume Consensus, we poll our readers about which costumes they'd prefer to buy when their favorite characters are finally turned into action figures. This week: Elongated Man!
Normally, I gobble up DC Classics releases as soon as possible. I like DC and I'll buy figures of just about anybody. Add that to the fact that I've only seen some figures once or twice, and I've learned to buy 'em when I see 'em. But this 2pk? I left it at TRU plenty of times. It just didn't seem worth it.
We're closing out our Green Lantern Classics reviews with a look at the wave's armybuilder, the Manhunter. I have no love for the concept of the Manhunters, the figure's rather bland, and you're probably going to be wondering why I actually bought two Manhunters by the end of the review.
We're still making our way through Green Lantern Classics reviews and today we're looking at the two Black Lanterns from the first wave: Black Hand & Abin Sur. Well, it's not really a figure of Abin Sur, but I have to call him that in the title so folks can find the review. Don't worry, I'll explain it all after the jump.
With Toy Fair about a month away, I figured I should go through each IAT Checklist and make sure they're all up to date, so there's no backlog when the news and updates start rolling in from New York over Valentine's Day weekend. First up, a big update to DCClassics.Com.
For 2011, we're kicking off a new feature here at IAT to replace the semi-retiring Most Requested column. On Thursdays (usually), we'll be polling our readers about which costumes better deserve the plastic treatment. This column will be open to any character in any toy line. And, as always, we'll be taking your submissions.
