![]() ![]() I will say that the Blue Lantern uniforms are still very striking visually and despite my annoyance at essentially already owning three of the same figure (Wave 7, TRU Gold Repaint and Giants of Justice) and having to add yet another repaint to my DCUC collection, I still may pick this up. Although what I would really want is Wally or Jay. Still is it too much to ask for even a Zoom? I’m already kind of burnt out on Blue Lantern Barry (after the Heroclix and the aforementioned DC Direct version) and I can never get enough of Zoom. Okay, I’m always excited for just about anything Flash, especially when it comes to action figures, and I hate to be ungrateful but do we really need another Barry in the DC Universe Classics Line so soon? Yes, I can understand the inclusion of the figure because 1) It’s cheaper to reuse a mold than to commission a new one, 2) Blackest Night is DC’s most successful comic event to date and I would be foolish to expect them not to try and cash in on it and 3) Barry is the main Flash again and DC is determined to avoid highlighting any other speedsters until Barry has been firmly established in every medium. Right after DC Direct releases Blue Lantern Barry Allen for Wave 6 of their Blackest Night line of action figures, Mattel announces the release of Blue Lantern Barry in the upcoming Blackest Night-themed Wave 17 of the acclaimed DC Universe Classics Series: ![]() Blue Lantern Barry Announced for DC Universe Classics This entry was posted in Collectibles and tagged Barry Allen, Black Flash, Blackest Night, Blue Lantern Flash, DC Direct, Eobard Thawne, Flash, HeroClix, Recent Acquisitions on Februby Devin. Twitter just seems more conducive to that kind of posting. My Facebook friends can also receive updates through the news feed for the time being but I’m thinking of disabling that feature as it can probably get annoying getting 4 or 5 different posts a day. You can view my Tumblr at and if you already follow my Twitter you can get updates on the fly without having to sign up. Yesterday I posted four different pictures, including a custom Flash Football Jersey. Now while I may still do something with that idea down the line I’ve recently discovered a more attractive avenue for showcasing my collection: Tumblr! I plan on posting quite often, and since I don’t have to write up a whole article every time I post you can expect to see posts a lot more frequently. Now I mentioned last week that I was going to start showcasing older pieces from my collection in a new series of articles tentatively named “Off The Shelf”. Hey Speed Readers, Devin here again with another edition of Recent Acquisitions. Recent Acquisitions Volume 5: In Blackest Night *Image Intensive* This entry was posted in Collectibles, Flash News and tagged Barry Allen, Blackest Night, Blue Lantern Flash, Custom Action Figure, DC Universe Classics, Wally West on by Devin. ![]() I really do not care who makes it I just want it! The auction ends in about 4 days and can be found HERE. Still hoping to see some version of this figure from either DC Direct or Mattel soon. The figure’s base looks to be a DC Universe Classics Barry Allen with a sculpted on lightning belt, lightning forearms and Wally’s new (JLU) symbol. I also came across an auction posted by eBay seller, Last_Galaxy for a custom Wally West action figure in his latest uniform: The completest in me will not let me pass up on it. Despite feeling pretty burnt out on the whole Rainbow Lantern thing I will still be picking this figure up. In addition to that the figure has 23 points of articulation and has a lighter color scheme. One cool thing to note that was absent from the DC Direct version of this figure is the ability for this figure to hold his included Lantern. Now DC Universe Classics collectors get a shot at him: Of course any Flash fan that has been following the last few years of the DC Universe would know that Barry was deputized into the Blue Lantern Corps during Blackest Night and has already seen a release in the DC Direct Blackest Night Wave. ![]() Hey, Speed Readers! Earlier this afternoon ’s Facebook page released carded images of DC Universe Classics Wave 17, Mattel’s own Blackest Night Wave. ![]()
