Meh, I gave it its chance and they have done nothing to impress me with it. The only title I still read is Aquaman, but I might drop even that. All-Star Western was awesome, but it was taking them forever to tell the Hex story, so I stopped reading it. In fact, that is my biggest problem with the New 52.
Every story just kept going and going and going. What happened to the days when you could pick up a comic and just read a nice well written stand alone story that you did not have to read the previous issue nor the next issue just to enjoy? I don't mind a nice multipart story every now and then, but when it is every issue it gets annoying. What about telling the story through multiple issues over a period of time?

Read Earth 2 though, I really recommend it.

That said, I would really welcome a New 52 Aquaman in this line....ah the hell with it, might as well complete the New 52 JL even though the book is AvX quality IMO. Although that Savage Hawkman figure looks awesome to me. I want some versus pics of him next to my SDCC Uncanny X-Force Archangel! Edit: I apologize for being a newb to DC figures....just realized this is the collector's club line and not the retail one.

Hawkman isn't a cie.
In theory, he'll be available at retail. Too bad you're so late to the game, you've missed some of the best figures Mattel has put out.

I would have had mine on Wed had Digital River actually shipped the fucking thing to my address I updated with them FOUR TIMES on the phone instead of sending it to my old address. Instead, I had the pleasure of being told by UPS that they have sent my package to them.

Yeah the only gripe I have with the figure is that the lantern can't fit in his hand, and Digital river shipping sucks, it took them over a week to deliver mine.

yeah Mine took 8 days... Compared to the December figures which took 4 I'd love to hear this explanation particularly when I purchased Zann and Jayna the same day and it arrived in 2 days.
The had issue is the same for everyone on both Lantern Figures in the Club. Atrocitus cannot hold the Lantern because both hands are fists. I am waiting for Larfleeze my gut tells me his lantern wont even have a handle.

funny hearing people bitch about shipping taking a week, when it takes two for me (Every time), and a month for canadians.
Complain about shipping when you have something worth complaining about.

And that was not my complaint in my post. My complaint is the fact that they shipped my subs to my OLD address after I updated it with them on the phone 4 times since Oct, two of which were after I asked them about my 2013 sub. And because of their worthless monkey brains, UPS just shipped my subs right back to them the other day since there was no one to deliver them to. Obviously I've got something to complain about because Digital River is run by dumbass retarded jerk monkeys. I know Republican red necks more intelligent than the worthless sacks of **** that answer the phones.

I wasn't complaining about you.
It was specifically directed at someone else, as well as the general "It's taking sooo looooong but I got it anyway!" complaints that always pop up from people who simply have no patience, but still get theirs a week before I get mine, and a month before others get theirs.

It's all good. I know we butt heads a lot, but no matter what, I have no anamosity to you, and hope you don't either.

I got my Saint Walker and he is by far a disappointment. His ab crunch can only go back about a CM. His ankle joints can also only go back by about a CM (in fact, trying to move one of them back bent the plastic covering the joint), one of the joints inside his wrist is half white half blue. And he cannot hold his lantern battery. WTF Mattel? At least his head can be posed looking upward.

Pretty standard DC classics/Club infinite earths figure. I expect nothing amazing, but I like to get characters I have not gotten before. I am bouncing off the walls waiting for The Phantom Stranger figure coming. I have wanted him for years. I had no problems getting Saint Walker to hold his lantern, where Atrocitus I had to hang it on his wrist.

In my book, Walker is amazing!
He's not a surprisingly amazing figure like Obsidian, but he's definately one of the better lanterns they've made. I love his headsculpt, and all around he completely puts the DCD figure to shame. But then I could be heavily biased by finally having a good figure of one of my favorite characters.

I still wish they had done a more Comic book style Lantern like they did with Atrocitus. But over all it is a good figure I'd give it a B maybe B+.
