Not a fan of that Robin, but Darkseid looks great!

Hm!  Existing subscribers will automatically be entered.  A Blighty-side 
 friend of mine subscribed for me, back before the first figures were 
 released.  Be weird if I won!

 Well, back in the 80's, their slogan was, "DC: Where the Action Is."

 One of the favorite Moments of Mirth up at Marvel was a DC ad that ran as a 
 double-page spread in the middle of their books, and referred to "THE DC 
 LINE OF SUPERSTARS".  At a glance, it read, all too appropriately, as "The 
 Decline of Superstars".

That's pretty funny, JB. That was in the mid-seventies, I think, and there 
 wasn't a lot to sing about at DC around that time. My favorite titles at the 
 time were Justice League of America and Legion of Super-Heroes.

Well, the JLA is almost complete ! I got Green Lantern last week and Wonder woman is expected next week. 
GL is fine, I like the way the lantern is fitted into his hand. The paint job is fine, but could be better. I hope EM intend to release more characters from the GL Corp (John Stewart, ...)

Looks like the UK and Ireland are already seeing Darkseid in stores. Thanks to irish legend on the figurine forum for the pic.

I still don't know when Darkseid will be released. 
He will look cool next to Thanos ...
