0 on Diamond Select Toys Aquaman Film Gallery Ocean Master reviewAquaman is coming to home release very soon, so it seems like as good a time as any to complete our set of Diamond Select Aquaman Gallery reviews. We've already looked at Black Manta and Arthur, so today, we turn our attention to li'l brother, Orm, the man who would be Ocean Master. But how…
It's time for DC's baldest baddies to get more intimate than they ever have before. It's not as gross as you're imagining right now, but it's at least twelve levels more invasive. Brainiac and Luthor face off as only they can, in Justice League #18. The story prevails Justice League is in an interesting spot right…
Toy Fair is a great place to see the biggest brands in the Batman game showcasing new products, but it also presents a fantastic opportunity to discover new players in the market. YuMe has been producing licensed merchandise for Warner Brothers properties for some time now, but later this year, they will be releasing some…
Toy Fair is way bigger than comic book characters, but the footprint for comic-based toys—and in particular toys and collectibles based on Batman and the wider DC Universe—is huge. And one of the biggest toes in that footprint is Diamond Select Toys. Their lines of DC Gallery PVC statues, resin busts, and Vinimates are already…
Toy Fair 2019 is well under way, and while DC let the cat out of the bag on most of their new stuff yesterday, it was still great seeing it all up close and personal in real space. You can get the details on the new products at the link above, but if you want…
There are a number of options in the market for DC kids' books, but after looking at lots of them (I have three young boys), I'm convinced that there's a clear leader in the field: Downtown Bookworks. I've been reviewing their DC Super Heroes line for years now, and they continue to impress with their…
Jason follows the Underlife to the end of the road, and confronts a face—or three—from his past. OR DOES HE? Mystery begets mystery, crowbars fly, and you’ll feel the earth move under your feet in Red Hood: Outlaw #31. SPOILERS AHEAD Meh This is...boring. It isn’t very bad, and it isn’t very good, because it isn’t…
Toy Fair 2019 is a week away, and Diamond Select Toys have pulled back the curtain on some of the goodies they'll be bringing to the show: If you were paying attention around the time of last year's Toy Fair, then you'll recognize that Batman statue—it was originally revealed at that show, along with a…
The Martian Manhunter and the Superman Hunter meet on the plains of Mars! J'onn and Lex hold a secret meeting, but why? What could they possibly have to talk about? Find out in Justice League #17! Snyder's back (at least for now) It's no secret that I've been missing Scott Snyder on Justice League for the past…
This review originally appeared on Comics Now. Repurposed with permission. Aquaman is a smash success, owing in large part to the enchanting world of people, places, and mythology that it brings to the screen. For over a year, we’ve heard stories of “Star Wars under the sea,” and the film manages to deliver an even more…
Vinimates are an acquired taste, but once you acquire some, you'll likely want to acquire more. Anyway, Aquaman Vinimates are out now, and they're a blast. I now have that Black Manta costume in statue, Pop!, action figure, and Vinimate form, and it looks good in all of them. Aquaman and Ocean Master ain't so bad,…
The Justice League is going to the Source—Wall, that is. Starman thinks the team can fix it, so the team gets to getting—and we all know nothing can go wrong when a total stranger leads you on a vague mission of universal salvation. Watch the uneventful success unfold, in Justice League Annual #1! Good thing…
"Escape from Hawkworld" reaches its shocking conclusion! Martian secrets! Hawk secrets! Other secrets! All this, and maybe more secrets in Justice League #16. SPOILERS WILL SURELY FOLLOW This is not good With apologies to James Tynion, toward whom I bear no ill will, this is just not very good. This has been the story of Tynion's contributions to Justice League: his…
If you’d rather read about it, check out the transcript below. Billy Batson is coming to the big screen in just a few short months, so it’s the perfect time for Diamond Select Toys to release their new Shazam Gallery—a sweet interpretation of the modern comics take on the original Captain Marvel. As with all…
Not as good as the GameStop-exclusive Manta, but still excellent. If you don't feel like watching the video, check the transcript and photos below. The Aquaman film is a smash success, and looks to be bringing in even more in the days ahead. Before the holidays, I looked at Diamond Select’s amazing GameStop-exclusive Black Manta…
Jason reaches the end of his journey into the Underlife, but his adventures are just beginning. Meanwhile, we check in on our other two Outlaws in what/where/whenever they are! All this, plus a blast from the past, in Red Hood and the Outlaws #30. Much better The past several issues have been the first major…
Batman has broken free of the Scarecrow's toxins, but can he shake what he saw while he was under? Would Gotham truly be better without the Bat? Answers abound—from several quarters—in Batman: Kings of Fear #6, as the miniseries wraps up. It's a miserable life If you're just now checking in with this book, here's the…
Shazam! will be here before you know it, and while I know there are plenty of you lamenting DC's move to the light, I'm thrilled for this movie. The DC Universe is big enough to hold all kinds of stories, because it has all kinds of characters, and I'm both amazed and delighted that we…
Starman heats up, and the Hawks get savage! At home and abroad, the Justice League is beset by should-be-allies! How will they get out of this mess? And what secret lies at the center of Thanagar Prime? Find out in Justice League #15! A good story, adequately written I feel as though I'm repeating myself, but…
Aquaman is here, and with it comes the first on-screen interpretation of Arthur’s Curry’s most infamous nemesis, Black Manta. The film does an excellent job with both aesthetics and characterization, and Diamond Select Toys are commemorating this occasion with a GameStop-exclusive Gallery PVC statue. They sent one to Batman News for review, so let’s take…
