I wish to God I was making this up...


...but apparently some of us will be seeing this when we crack open boosters of DC 75th.

For more images - many of which will make you feel a lot better about this set than the above pic - click HERE.

STOP PRESS: I think I may have stumbled across the inspiration for this sculpt - taken from a parade in New York in the 1940s (or possibly 1939):

    El - wait until you see the whole set before you condemn the whole thing. You say this about every single set.

    ....although I'm not exactly feeling the love myself. Great to see a Dominator there but do we really need another Flash, Hal GL, Sinestro, Ice(!) and Doomsday (yes great DD sculpt but then so was the last one) - we already have great recent versions of all those figures. There better be some stunning white powers going down to justify this.

    Seriously - we are bound to get a GL box set when the movie hits (with another Hal and Sinestro) - why do we need them here as well?

    Why not do a decent John Stewart GL instead?

    I know DC has far less characters than Marvel but whilst we still have LSH and L.E.G.I.O.N characters to make why do we need another ICE?

    I want my Brainiac 2 and my Captain Comet!!!!

    most dials up on realms, the white lanterns look good, and dead shot looks great. but honestly matt breave and the bold as better

    i mean there are some good stuff in it but the quality of the sculpts and average dials makes it feel bland
