This week, DC Direct announced a Red Lantern Mera figure in their Blackest Night line. Coincidence? We don&#8217;t think so! And while we&#8217;re still waiting for a proper Mera to find her way into DC Classics to cross her off our list, we&#8217;ll be looking forward to picking up DC Direct&#8217;s Red Lantern Mera this winter. Around the time she&#8217;s expected to arrive in stores, we&#8217;ll be voting on the 2010 Most Requested figure. But, we can&#8217;t get there without some finalists. Today, we&#8217;re asking you to pick the first three.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Based on your e-mails and feedback, we selected twelve characters\/properties for Round One and have featured them in this column since the beginning of the year.
