Some DC Direct February Solicits
Nov. 16th, 2009 06:57 pmI realize I may be alone in this, but I love the Ame-Comi statues. I have Power Girl, Barbara's Batgirl, the first Supergirl, Zatanna, Hawkgirl, Harley, Ivy, both versions of Catwoman, and the female Robin.
The Batman Reborn figures are pretty meh. The Two-Face Batman figure makes me think DC Direct needed to get rid of some blue paint. I want that Steph Batgirl figure like yesterday though!
I posted the Owlman maquette just because I think that is the coolest Owlman costume ever.
I'm so excited for the Wednesday Comics hardcover collection! I hope it's an annual thing as opposed to a monthly series, because then they can spend more time focusing on the quality.
