I see there are plans to include a Silver Banshee minibust in the "Women of the DC Universe" series.  I wonder if they'll get the face right --- that's supposed to be make-up (or war-paint, perhaps!), not a real skull.

Not an "action figure", but the latest addition.  FAB 1 on order!
 
 About 2 feet long.  "Studio Scale".

I just got this in last night.
 
  
  I've been on a classic Ghost Rider kick lately.

  Action figure pic of the new Joe Kubert inspired Hawkman.  I figured since Joe has so much love in these parts there might be some interest.

Good generic Thor, but not a very faithful sculpt.

hopefully a better picture will reveal more

But the build is all wrong!  Thor was slender back then.
