Adventure Vault Talks Blackest Night

Almost one year later, the longest night ever in the DC Universe has finally come to an end with Blackest Night #8. I wouldn’t call what I’m writing a review, so much as my thoughts on what happened, but mostly I want to examine where I feel the DC Universe is going. I’ll be referencing the events of the story and its tie-in books, so reader be warned: Thar be SPOILERS ahead.

Most Requested Figures: DCUC Swamp Thing

Sometimes as toy collectors, we can look across our displays and, no matter how many toys we have, only see the ones that aren't there. They are the missing figures. The characters toy companies never got around to, never thought were important enough, or worse - the figures companies felt the need to show us at comicon in the "We're Never Gonna Make These" case...

Though at first glance it might seem that Mattel is our Most Requested focus yet again, it's actually DC Comics, Vertigo, Dan Didio, and Karen Berger in our sights this Friday. Mattel's going to need their help if we're going to pull this one off.

Most Requested Figures: DCUC Martian Manhunter

Sometimes as toy collectors, we can look across our displays and, no matter how many toys we have, only see the ones that aren't there. They are the missing figures. The characters toy companies never got around to, never thought were important enough, or worse - the figures companies felt the need to show us at comicon in the "We're Never Gonna Make These" case. For Joe fans, there is the Sigma Six Scarlett, or Big Lob and Pythona in the 3 3/4" line. Transformers Alternators fans could never have a Bumblebee. Bandai showed and then axed the Teen Titans Doom Patrol. Some MOTU fans are still waiting for an update, any update, of Scareglow. The list goes on and on.
