DC Direct - Blackest Night Series 3 & 4 Action Figures

DC Direct is coming on strong with its Blackest Night tie-ins, and their 6 inch action figures are some of the best DC Comics figures they've made to date. Just check out the crazy details on the Black Lantern Firestorm figure below!


Blackest Night Series 3, which will hit stores in March 2010, includes Black Lantern Aquaman, Larfleeze the Orange Lantern with Glomulus, Green Lantern Arisa and Star Sapphire (not pictured). Blackest Night Series 4 will hit stores in April 2010 and includes Black Hand, Black Lantern Firestorm, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and Wonder Woman (not pictures).

SDCC 09 - DC Direct Blammoids! Series 1, 2, 3 & 4

One exciting bit of information to come out of San Diego Comic Con 2009 is that DC Direct already has plans to release a third and fourth series of its Blammoids! vinyl figures, even before Series 1 and 2 have hit store shelves. DC Comics’ toy division has really outdone themselves with Blammoids! Series 3 and 4, which includes such fan favorites as Cyborg, Catwoman, Hawkman and the Martian Manhunter.


I am especially pleased to see classic versions of Batman and Robin included in Blammoids! Series 3 and a second tier character like The Demon in Series 4. Who were you surprised to see included in DC Direct’s Blammoids! series? I’d have to go with Wildcat on this one.

SDCC 09 - Lost Memorabilia Auction

Coming in 2010, ABC and Lost, in conjunction with Profiles In History, will be launching Lost: The Auction to commemorate the popular show’s final season. The Blot’s not sure when the auction is actually scheduled for, but according to the Profiles In History representatives at San Diego Comic Con, it won’t take place until after the cast and crew conclude the filming of Lost Season 6. Why would I know all this? Because Profiles In History was at SDCC 2009 with many of the props scheduled to be put on sale in 2010.



What’s really cool about this sure to be highly successful auction is that pretty much every significant prop and article of clothing from Lost’s six seasons will be up for grabs, including Kate’s toy plane, Locke’s compass, Mr. Echo’s walking stick and tons of Dharma Initiative food.




It’s just too bad I am sure almost everything will sell for way too much money. The auction can’t take place until after filming has concluded since many of the props are needed for Season 6, but here’s a sneak peek of what will eventually be up for sale. It's pretty freaking cool, huh?
