Blackest Night: Series 2 Action Figures Next Week!

A look at the 11/25 release of the new set of Blackest Night figures.


No Caption Provided
With Blackest Night in full swing, DC Direct, yet again, has more figures from the series coming out on Tuesday, 11/25.  In series one, we saw the release of Black Lantern Earth-2 Superman, Atrocitus, Saint Walker, and Boodikka. And with this next week, we see the release of Indigo, John Stewart, Black Lantern Martian Manhunter, and Kryb



These figures all are based off their likenesses from the current Blackest Night storyline

   All four figures feature multiple points of articulation and include a display base. John Stewart and Indigo each come with their own version of a lantern, and Kryb comes with a baby accessory that fits into the cage-like sack affixed to her back. 

Series one, to me, was a little bit of a let down. I picked up Atrocitus and Satin Walker. For this weeks series, I will be picking up every figure. The amount of detail within these figures is amazing. One of the best parts about this current Green Lantern Figure run is that each figure comes with it's own little accessory. Indigo has her staff, John has his lantern, M.M. has that wicked torn up cape (accessory?), and Kryb has two little babies that fit into her back... Anyone else creeped out by that? Each figure will range from $14.99-$17.99, depending where you buy it from. Sometimes it may seem like a little too much for a toy, but with the high quality DC Direct puts out, it is worth it.
 
If you are unfamiliar with these characters check out early 2009 issues of Green Lantern Corps for Kryb, current issues of Green Lantern for Indigo, Blackest Night 1 & 2 for Martian Manhunter, and current issues of Green Lantern Corps for John Stewart.
