DC Direct - Blackest Night Series 5 Teaser Image

Thanks to artest extroidinaire Ryan Hipp, The Blot gets to share with the world this awesome promotional photo featuring all of the characters in DC Direct’s popular new line of Blackest Night action figures, including three never before seen figures. I can only assume the Nekron, Black Lantern Deadman and Black Lantern Hawkman action figures seen below will be included in a currently unannounced Blackest Night Series 5. Sadly, the picture does not include a sneak peek of Series 4’s Black Lantern Wonder Woman figure, which corresponds directly to the events that took place in Blackest Night #5.

Personally, I think the Blackest Night figures are some of the best DC Comics figures every produced (by DC Direct or Mattel), especially the Black Lantern figures. Not only do we finally get some killer zombiefied versions of our favorite DC Comics heroes, but they are really detailed! Just look at Nekron’s chest, Black Lantern Firestorm’s head and Black Lantern Hawkman’s wings.

DC Direct’s Blackest Night Series 1 includes Alpha Lantern Boodikka, Black Lantern Earth-2 Superman, Blue Lantern Saint Walker and Red Lantern Atrocitus. Blackest Night Series 2 includes Black Lantern Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern John Stewart, Indigo and Sinestro Corps member Kryb. Blackest Night Series 3 includes Black Lantern Aquaman, Green Lantern Arisia, Orange Lantern Larfleeze with the slain and slavish Glomulus and Star Sapphire. Blackest Night Series 4 includes Black Lantern Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, Black Lantern Firestorm and Black Hand with Bruce Wayne’s skull.
