DC Multiverse Power Ring – Crime Syndicate Starro Build-A Exclusive

[IzzyTipsy]

Wasn't he basically Earth-3 Hal? Now he's Earth-3 Jon Stewart?

[Tony_Bacala]

Yeah, i am not up on the story but he was in the Crime Syndicate books recently. I think it's E3 John Stewart.

The CSA generally takes the form of whatever the current roster is.
So if Hal is in play - it's Hal's variant.
Though it may not be a variant but someone with a similar powerset. Like in the animated movie, Superwoman was an evil Mary Marvel.

Also there is a Power Ring/Emerald Knight Hal in the current universe. Just John in the one in the CSA.

Also this is not the same roster as the Forever Evil crew. But they spin out of them after the whole Dark Metal business.

Ah, I stopped reading after Forever Evil so I didn't realize they brought new ones back from the dead.

Hopefully we get Volthoom someday.

Actually a lot of people I saw on forums guessed Power Ring.

[Dr Kain]

Does it really matter which one comes first though? Johnny Quick is obviously going to be the last figure in the wave.

I will say, except for Superwoman, who looks a bit weird proportionately, the CSA figures are some of the best figures McFarlane has done.

Correct, in Grant Morrison's Earth-2 story, which was when Kyle Rayner was still the primary Green Lantern in the JLA, Power Ring was an evil blonde version of Kyle.

Uh, the BAF has 4 figs in the wave, it's complete. Quick could be made outside of the wave, but it's not a part of it.

Wait, four? But there's five members.

Okay, so McFarlance just hates Flash.

And female characters cause the turn us men into serial killers.

[Tony_Bacala]

They did that with the Endless Winter wave too. 4 in the BAF, and then Aquaman was solo but in theme. Assuming these sell well, they can keep doing it. Or go 8 with another BAF.

Well Johnny Quick may be on the way he just won't have a BAF piece. Aquaman was part of McFarlane's Endless Winter wave, but he didn't come with a Frost King BAF piece.

[Dr Kain]

I don't even know what Endless Winter is. I'm guessing that's some Post New 52 story?

He must! That all-Flash Speed Metal wave and Flash-centric Page Punchers wave must be figments of my imagination.

Not to mention the upcoming Kid Flash…

That is definitely some Flash hatred going on. What did the speed force ever do to you, Todd? Geez.

Yeah. It is. I haven't read it, I just have heard of it. I have the Green Lantern and Aquaman from that wave. Not a fan of the Batman and Wonder Woman designs from that wave.

[Kang]

Owlman from this line looks great to me, and I'm down with a John Stewart GL, this looks good to me as well. Ultraman is ok, but something about that torso gap between the rib cage and lower region looks funky to me. And the Superwoman just flat out doesn't work for me.

And yeah, no Johnny Quick makes this look like amateur hour at McFarlane Toys if they don't come through on that one (hopefully will not be the case).

I know right. I have some criticisms of McFarlane's handling of DC Multiverse, but the handling of Flash isn't one of them. Honestly, the Flash Page Punchers wave looks like the best of the lot.

It doesn't matter, though. He'll dismiss them because they are not versions he's familiar with.

[Designincase]

If I didn't know I think for Mcfarlane its.

Batman > Flash > Superman > Green Lantern >....................>Wonder Woman.

Though I wonder how much the Flash movie was an impact? I feel like the Black Adam figure's we've gotten were meant to play off the upcoming film.

That could be the case. Just like how the Golden Icon Captain Marvel figure McFarlane unvailed feels like it's playing off of the hype for Shazam: Fury of the Gods. When that film rears closer I wouldn't be surprised of we got more Captain Marvel figures and figures of the Marvel Family.

[ghostbogey]

The "ROCK"?....;^)

[ddarko]

That Deathstroke looks interesting. It’s like he became a DC Moon Knight

[IzzyTipsy]

Would be nice to get a proper Wonder Woman some day. Feels like the movie one is the closest we're getting.
