After the Blackest Night comes the Brightest Day! DC Comics unveiled on its official blog The Source that DC Direct will be in essence continuing its line of Blackest Night action figures with a spin-off, a Brightest Day toy line! If you loved the toys based on last year’s DC Universe spanning event Blackest Night, then you’re really going to love these new figures!
Starting in March, DC Direct will kick off another series of high-quality and story-specific product, this time based around the hit biweekly series Brightest Day. Included in the toy line’s first two waves are Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Deadman, Aquaman, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm and Mera.
DC Direct blew me away with last years hugely successful Blackest Night toy line, and The Blot can’t wait to see these new figures. DCD really took their action figures to the next level with Blackest Night, and I’m hoping they continue that upward trend with the Brightest Day line. If I had to say anything negative about this announcement it’s that they didn’t include any of the resurrected villains (Captain Boomerang, Maxwell Lord or Osiris) in the line’s first two waves. All I know is there had better be a Wave 3 which includes Hawk, Dove, Jade and Digger!
