DC Comics Mystery Minis Blind Box Series 2 by Funko

While Funko has released some awesome Mystery Mini Series over the past year, my favorite of the bunch is this DC Comics Mystery Mini Blind Box Series 2 and it doesn’t even come out until next year! The Blot is a huge DC Comics fan, and I love the huge variety of characters Funko included in this series. I’m also excited to see a few heroes and villains that haven’t even been given the Pop! treatment yet. The DC Comics Mystery Minis Series 2 includes 2.5” vinyl figures of heroes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and Power Girl, and villains Lex Luthor, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, Black Manta and Reverse Flash. It also includes some awesome, super rare variants. It’s so great to see a DC Universe series that doesn’t just focus on the Bat-family of characters!

Hawk & Dove DC Universe Classics Wave 20 Action Figures

The 20th and final wave of Mattel’s popular DC Universe Classics toy line recently started showing up on store shelves and The Blot is pretty excited about picking up these Hawk and Dove action figures. I’ve always been partial to B and C-List DC Comics super heroes, and Hawk and Dove are two of my favorites! Whether it’s Hank and Don (the original Hawk and Dove) or Hank and Dawn (the modern version of the duo), I’m always excited when they show up for a cameo in a comic book or get their own mini-series or ongoing title.

With Hawk and Dove it really is feast or famine. After years of non-use, Hawk and Dove played a huge role in DC Comics’ mega events Blackest Night and Brightest Day and were even given their own ongoing title as part of the companywide New 52 reboot. They even brought in Rob Liefeld, a fan favorite who got his start on Hawk and Dove back in the 90s, to be the artist (and now writer) of the series. Then we got Hawk and Dove action figures and min-busts from DC Direct and now this! Like I said, feast or famine, but I can’t complain. I’m just glad to see Hank and Dawn relevant again in the DC Universe.

Mattel’s Hawk and Dove DC Universe Classics action figures can be purchase individually for $16.99 here at EntertainmentEarth.com or you can purchase a case of DC Universe Classics Series 20, which includes hooded Green Arrow, White Lantern Flash, Reverse Flash, Hawk, Dove, Red Arrow, Sinestro Corps Sinestro and metallic Green Lantern Hal Jordan (with Collect and Connect pieces of Nekron) for $139.99 here.

SDCC 2011 Exclusive Martian Manhunter Metallic Variant DC Universe Pop! Vinyl Figure Toy Review

It’s hard to explain just how excited The Blot was for Funko’s San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Martian Manhunter Metallic Variant DC Universe Pop! Heroes vinyl figure. True story: a friend asked if there were any Funko San Diego Comic-Con 2011 exclusives I wanted. At the time Funko had only announced their Disney exclusives and I replied “the only exclusive I’d have to get is if they release a Metallic Martian Manhunter.” Then on the first day of Comic-Con I got an email telling me Funko's DC Comics exclusives, which of course included a metallic J’onn J’onzz of Mars! I was beyond pumped, and it ended up being one of only two SDCC 2011 exclusives I purchased last summer.

The Martian Manhunter has always been one of my favorite DC characters and as you all know I’m a sucker for a limited edition SDCC exclusive colorways. I’d never actually owned one of Funko’s metallic colorways before, but I thought J’onn’s bold look would really be enhanced by metallic paint. I was so right! The Martian Manhunter’s green skill really pops in metallic paint, and it makes the red of his uniform stand out even more than before. There’s not much to J’onn’s uniform but I think that’s what makes it so timeless.

I am so glad Funko did not go with the Martian Manhunter’s “Brave New World” look with the oval shaped head and military looking cape/collar. However they did use his Brightest Day look, which while not my favorite is way better than the horrible Brave New World look and his new look in the recently rebooted DC Universe (ala Stormwatch #1). There really is only one slight difference between Jonzz’ classic uniform and his Brightest Day uniform, the round Mars looking circle on his chest where his straps meet. But I guess beggars can’t be choosers right? I’m just glad they made a Martian Manhunter Pop! vinyl figure and decided to release him as a Mettalic Variant!

The only real complaint I have about this figure is the sloppy paint job. Sadly, this seems to be a recurring complaint with Funko’s Pop! and Blox toy lines. If Funko could get its quality control in check these toys could be huge! Then again, maybe that’s one of the reasons Funko has been able to keep its prices so long even with relatively low run sizes.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Martian Manhunter Metallic Variant DC Universe Pop! Vinyl Figure by Funko stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. The figure has a limited edition run size of 480 pieces and can be purchased here on Amazon.com for just $15.99!

SDCC 2011 Exclusive Swamp Thing DC Universe Classics Action Figure

As you may or may not know, DC Comics’ Brightest Day ended with the return of Swamp Thing AND John Constantine to the proper DC Universe after decades spent in DC’s Vertigo imprint. Since Swamp Thing and Constantine were marked “for mature readers only,” Mattel had been strictly prohibited from making toys of these popular characters. But now that they’re back in the mainstream (and all ages) DC Universe, Mattel is wasting no time in including Alec Holland’s alter ego into its DC Universe Classics 6” toy line with this exciting San Diego Comic-Con 2011 exclusive!

This fan-demanded character is available for the first time from Mattel, and is the first ever DC Universe character to feature endoskeletal articulation. While many fans have scoffed at their first at Swampy’s endoskeletal articulation (early pictures left much to be desired), The Blot has to commend Mattel on thinking outside the box. After years of playing it safe, they’ve finally tried to do something different. And that is something I can get behind.

The San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Swamp Thing action figure will retail for $30 and comes in a paper pulp mold of Swamp Thing’s head. No ordinary packaging can contain Swamp Thing, so he’ll then be packed in a shipper box with the Swamp Thing paper pulp mold head peering out. The Swamp Thing DC Universe Classics action figure will first be available at SDCC, and then later at MattyCollector.com. If purchased at SDCC, he’ll arrive with Comic-Con exclusive mini-figures of Un-Men Ophidian and Cranius. The version of Swamp Thing sold at MattyCollector.com will not include these Un-Men mini-figures.

Convention Exclusive White Lantern Batman & White Lantern Flash Action Figures

Looking to complete your collection of DC Direct Brightest Day/Blackest Night action figures? Well then, you’d better make sure you attend C2E2 or WonderCon this year, because these conventions will serve as the only places where you can purchase these awesome two exclusives from DC Comics, DC Direct and Graphitti Designs: White Lantern Batman and White Lantern Flash! The Blot hasn’t been keeping up with Brightest Day, but I’ve got to imagine Batman and Flash will be playing a huge role in the bi-monthy series’ endgame.

At each convention only 1,000 of each action figure will be made available for purchase at the Graphitti Designs booth (Booth 717 at C2E2 and Booth 201 at WonderCon). To get these awesome Brightest Day

White Lantern action figures you must first get a wristband that will then give you the opportunity to buy one of each character for $20 each.

Brightest Day Action Figures Series 3

Brightest Day, the bi-weekly DC Comics' follow up to Blackest Night, continues as the mystery behind the white light that resurrected twelve heroes and villains begins to unravel. Though the exact reasons for their rebirths remain a mystery, each is destined to play an intricate role in the future of the DC Universe. DC Direct’s Brightest Day Series 3 features DC’s newest hero Aqualad and the recently resurrected Jade, Hawk and Dove.

The Blot is all kinds of excited to finally get some quality action figures of two of my favorite DC characters, Hawk and Dove! But, for some reason something looks really off about the Hawk figure, is it that his head is too big? Hopefully this is a work in progress photo and the final product a more cohesive action figure.

Each Brightest Day action figure stands at 6.5-6.75" tall, features multiple points of articulation, includes a display base and comes packaged in a 4-color clamshell blister card. Brightest Day Series 3 is scheduled to go on sale August 3, 2011.

Young Justice Animated Series Premiers Tonight on Cartoon Network

Tonight marks the one hour world premiere of the new animated series Young Justice on the Cartoon Network! The Blot can’t get over how much super hero animated goodness is on TV right now, and Young Justice is on the top of my must watch list. The Young Justice comic book, by Peter David and Todd Nauck, was one of my favorite DC comic books during the late ‘90s/early ‘00s and I still miss reading it today. The book’s strong ensemble cast was one of the best youth books ever written (in my honest opinion).

From my understanding the new Young Justice animated series is not really based on the comic book so much as re-appropriating their characters for the show. Sadly, it’ll feature Dick Grayson and Robin and Wally West as Kid Flash, making this show much more like a junior Teen Titans than Young Justice. It’s also weird to find out the show’s newest character, Aqualad, will also be the team’s leader. Aqualad just made his debut a few months ago in the DC Comics bi-monthly comic book Brightest Day.



The animated show’s Young Justice will be compromised of Superboy, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Miss Martian and Artemis. The show premieres with a one hour movie tonight, Friday, November 26th, at 7/6c on the Cartoon Network. The show will then return with all new 30min episodes starting in January 2011.

Heroes of the DC Universe: Hawk & Dove Busts by DC Direct

From Brightest Day to Birds of Prey, the reborn team of Hawk (Hank Hall) and Dove (Dawn Granger) are flyin' high again! Designed by illustrator Amanda Conner, Hawk and Dove are the latest characters to join the popular Women of the DC Universe and Heroes of the DC Universe bust series from DC Direct. The Blot absolutely loves it when the D-list super heroes I grew up with get their due, and that’s exactly what’s happening right now with the recent resurgence in popularity of Hawk and Dove.

Hawk and Dove (Don Hall) were two of my favorite heroes as members of the Teen Titans, and I was a die-hard fan of the Hawk and Dove (Dawn Granger) comic book from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Since Armageddon 2001 in 1991 they’ve been used sparingly, but then Geoff Johns brought Dove back in Justice Society of America. Since then, Johns has made Hawk and Dove an intricate part of both Blackest Night and Brightest Day, cementing their place in the current DC Universe.

These limited edition Hawk and Dove busts by DC Direct are hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain, stand around 5.5 inches tall and come packaged in a 4-color box. Each bust is sold separately and retails for $70 each (so it’s $140 for the pair). They are scheduled to go on sale June 1, 2011, but in the meantime you can follow the adventures of Hawk and Dove monthly in DC Comics’ Brightest Day and Birds of Prey.

Brightest Day Action Figures Series 2

Brightest Day, the bi-weekly DC Comics' follow up to Blackest Night, continues as the mystery behind the white light that resurrected twelve heroes and villains begins to unravel. Though the exact reasons for their rebirths remain a mystery, each is destined to play an intricate role in the future of the DC Universe. DC Direct’s Brightest Day Series 2 features three recently resurrected heroes, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and Firestorm, and one previously resurrected hero, Mera.



Each Brightest Day action figure stands at 6.5-6.75" tall, features multiple points of articulation, includes a display base and comes packaged in a 4-color clamshell blister card. These resurrected heroes are scheduled to go on sale April 6, 2011.

Brightest Day Action Figures Series 1

DC Comics' biggest event continues as Brightest Day burns away the Blackest Night! In this best-selling follow-up, the white light has resurrected twelve heroes and villains. Though the exact reasons for their rebirths remain a mystery, each is destined to play an intricate role in the future of the DC Universe. DC Direct’s Brightest Day Series 1 features three recently resurrected heroes, Aquaman, Hawkgirl and Deadman, and one previously resurrected hero, Green Arrow.


It looks like all four of the action figures in Brightest Day Series 1 include highly detailed accessories, but The Blot’s favorite by far is Deadman, who comes with a White Lantern power battery, an exchangeable unmasked head and an extra Deadman mask.



Each Brightest Day action figure stands at 6.5-6.75" tall, features multiple points of articulation, includes a display base and comes packaged in a 4-color clamshell blister card. These resurrected heroes are scheduled to go on sale March 2nd, 2011.

New Brightest Day Action Figures by DC Direct

After the Blackest Night comes the Brightest Day! DC Comics unveiled on its official blog The Source that DC Direct will be in essence continuing its line of Blackest Night action figures with a spin-off, a Brightest Day toy line! If you loved the toys based on last year’s DC Universe spanning event Blackest Night, then you’re really going to love these new figures!


Starting in March, DC Direct will kick off another series of high-quality and story-specific product, this time based around the hit biweekly series Brightest Day. Included in the toy line’s first two waves are Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Deadman, Aquaman, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm and Mera.

DC Direct blew me away with last years hugely successful Blackest Night toy line, and The Blot can’t wait to see these new figures. DCD really took their action figures to the next level with Blackest Night, and I’m hoping they continue that upward trend with the Brightest Day line. If I had to say anything negative about this announcement it’s that they didn’t include any of the resurrected villains (Captain Boomerang, Maxwell Lord or Osiris) in the line’s first two waves. All I know is there had better be a Wave 3 which includes Hawk, Dove, Jade and Digger!
