Hey, Mr. Postman!

Got the box of toys I ordered from Mike's Comics n' Stuff ...30 minutes into March 1st, in compliance with (laughs) the 28 Day Challenge! I don't usually hit the hay until 2 a.m. or so, and I was waiting to hit the order button, LOL  :D

*DC Direct History of The DC Universe Series 2 Black Lightning! This electric hero has been popping of in some of the DC super-epic graphic novels I've been reading lately. I cracked him open already, and I must say the paint job is about perfect on this guy- amazing!

*DC Direct History of The DC Universe Series 3 Brainiac! After scoring the New Krypton Brainiac, I wanted a classic Brainiac. I wonder why they originally dressed this dastardly villain like he's going to a tennis match... very metrosexual  :D

*DC Direct History of The DC Universe Series 3 Superman! How many Superman action figures do you need? One more...

*DC Direct History of The DC Universe Series 4 Superman as Nightwing! This guy is what brought my attention to this line of action figures. Confused? Read about Superman's Silver Age appearance as Nightwing HERE...

*DC Direct History of The DC Universe Series 4 Captain Atom! Like Black Lighting, Captain Atom has also been popping of in some of the DC  graphic novels I've been reading lately. I love the silver arms on this guy and the design of his outfit, and set him free from his packaging along with Black Lightning pretty much immediately. Not to be confused with the Al Pratt/Ray Palmer Atom, Captain Atom is a separate, unrelated DC character...

*DC Direct History of The DC Universe Series 4 Martian Manhunter! Like Superman, I can't have too many versions of J'onn J'onzz...

I had either ignored or totally missed this series of action figures by DC Direct, and I've got to say they are even more beautiful in person. The simplicity of their design, excellent paint, and classic character styling are a joy to behold. DC Direct catches a lot of flack for lack of articulation and scaling issues, but I just love 'em!

And seriously, where are you going to find a Superman as Nightwing action figure? My only regret about these is not buying more of them LOL!

Have a FUN weekend- I'm going to!  :D
