Mattel Releases More "Mego" Type Retro DC Action Figures Including Darkseid & Black Adam

I had several Mego action figures (won't call them dolls) growing up.  If only I had not destroyed them in my  childhood.  Throwing, tying, hanging, jumping, shooting, etc. did not allow my Mego figures to stand the test of time.

Thankfully, Mego-style dolls (action figures) have experienced a resurgence thanks to Mattel's World's Greatest DC Heroes line, which has released many DC Comics heroes and villains that never saw the light of day under Mego. In addition to Captain Marvel (aka Shazam) the line will see the first appearance of Black Adam, Martian Manhunter and my personal all-time favorite character, Darkseid.

Dolls, I mean action figures never looked so AWESOME!  What DC character would you like to see become a retro figure? I'd like Ra's Al Guhl.

Batman Mini Funko Toys are Funkolicious

How sweet are these mini figures?  The new Mini Funko's are refined Blammoids with a touch of cool.  The upcoming line features Batman, Batgirl, Robin, the Joker and the Penguin in all Funko Force's trademark chibi glory, with each piece standing roughly 3.75" tall. You can preorder for $8.00 a piece these new Funko's at and should have them in your hands by September to October.

Like these?  As an avid action figure collector, I don't normally purchase the "non traditional" action figures but I do like their style. Tell us what you think.

NEW Classic Green Lantern Action Figures

As an action figure collector, SDCC is as good as it gets.  Those three days are like Christmas morning for me.  Not only can you purchase the exclusives but you can obtain a first peak at the new series yet to be released.  Case in point, we saw these beauties on display in San Diego. 

Expected to arrive in stores in October, the line's first wave is set to include Kyle Rayner, Black Hand, Manhunter, Sinestro Corps members Low and Maash (who come with interchangeable heads) and Black Lantern Abin Sur. Mongul will round out the line, although it's uncertain whether this version will be a reissue or an original sculpt. As with many DCUC lines, this GL wave will include build-a-character pieces, appropriately forming Arkillo this time around.

FIRST LOOK: DC Direct BRIGHTEST DAY Action Figures

In March 2011, DC DIRECT will kick off another series of high-quality and story-specific product, this time based around the hit biweekly series, BRIGHTEST DAY. Here ist a first look at the first two waves, which include Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Deadman, Aquaman, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm and Mera.

As an obsessed action figure collector, I am surprisingly lukewarm about the BRIGHTEST DAY line.   The story thus far has been in my opinion, less than engaging so I have hard time purchasing a bunch of characters I could in all honesty give a shit about.  I mean come on who is going to shell out money to purchase Mera?
