[Prowl 2009]

More from this past weekend's NYCC comes to us in the form of the next two figures being offered through Mattel's Club Black Freighter - Nite-Owl and Silk Spectre!

Nite-Owl, who appears to be based off the DCUC Owlman sculpt, will come complete with a grappling hook and some sort of projectile. Based off the Daniel Dreiberg version of the character, Mattel seems to have done an awesome job, similar with Rorschach, capturing the essence of this character as he appeared within the Watchmen comic!

Silk Spectre, like Dr. Manhattan, is another story. With poor paintwork, a bad mix of solid and translucent plastics and a sloppy overall display, the figure, based off Laurel Juspeczyk, is a disappointment. However, fans should remember the putty is used in these shots simply for stability purposes and will not be included on the final figure.

Now that we've seen 4 of the 6 pieces being offered through this club, I am glad I never signed up. With two good and two not-so-good figures shown thus far, ending up with 50% in good figures is not a number I like.

Hopefully the final figures to be revealed, The Comedian and Ozymandias will change my tune.

Thanks to Shane, once again, of Shoebox Heroes for snapping and sending me the shots!

Enjoy!
