Blackest Night Action Figures

Type: Toys
Publisher: DC Comics
Release Date: September 30, 2009
Price: Depends on if You buy just one or the complete set

From someone who had no initial interest in the Blackest Night storyline and was incredibly turned off by the idea of having a universe of different colored rings flying around, this is turning into a Lantern story that I can enjoy.

For your first group you have:

Alpha Lantern Boodikka

Earth 2 Superman

Blue Lantern Saint Walker

Red Lantern Atrocitus

It started with the Sinestro Wars and has continued forth. I just hope that it can maintain the same pace throughout; however, for the short period of time, it has created some cool new characters.

Not a toy buyer myself - but you may want to look these over.

Robert: These are nice. Unfortunately Geoff Johns has lost me completely with his run. I'm not a fan of the Rainbow Corps, so I'm barely interested in the characters. The Blue Lantern character is interesting and vaguely reminiscent of the similar character shown as a throwaway character in Warren Ellis' Planetary. The black faced Boodika also interests me.

I'm curious why the Superman is "red acted". The only surprise I can think of is what color Lantern he may turn out to be. Personally, I think censoring characters in these previews is pretty tacky. Same thing with the Superboy Prime in the Crisis series. If showing the action figure would be too spoilerific, wait to release it. But that's just me.
