About a month ago, right after Bane Week, I found GL Classics Series II. Star Sapphire was painted like crap, so I left her behind. Over the last month, I've waited patiently for a second case to show up. No luck. And I'm tired of these guys clogging up my desk. Thus, Armless Stel Week! And I'll start with Sodam Yat.
Some non-Horde characters like Rattlor & Tung Lashor make appearances as members of the Horde in various media. Are there plans incorporate their Horde status into the bios or to maybe include extra Horde armbands when they're eventually released ?
Okay, so like "Bane Week" was supposed to end on Saturday. Oops. Anyway, it's Monday morning, I'm feelin' good and I'm ready to conclude IAT's look at DCUC16 with a look at Bane! Well, mostly ready. This might take a couple cans of Dr Pepper to get through. It's 5am and I'm just getting started.
Bane week focuses on the last regular figure before the big man himself, the Creeper. Even though I'm not the biggest Creeper fan in the world, I was excited at the prospect of him being in the line. He looked great in San Diego last summer, but what we saw there wasn't exactly what we got when we opened the figure.
Bane Week rolls on with what was likely the most anticipated figure from the wave: Robin. Robin was also the variant figure for this wave; getting packaged with either a Bronze or a Golden Age head. I should warn you before we get into the review,, there's been another broken joint.
Bane Week continues with a look at "Azrael Batman" - at least that's what Mattel calls him on the box. In the comics, he's simply the second Batman, referred to by fans as "Azbat". I don't really care what he's called, he's a cool figure and it's particularly fitting that he's included as a character needed to build Bane.
