It’s been at least a month or two since DC Direct announced a new line of statues, we all know it was bound to happen. This one has an interesting idea going but I want to see lots more photos before I decide if I like the idea or not. Here’s the sales pitch and picture under the cut :

The Ultimate Showdown series is DC Direct’s unique, new interactive concept for high-quality collectible statues featuring the world’s greatest heroes and villains squaring off in deadly combat.

Each character is displayed on a specially designed stand-alone base intended to “interact” with the other statues in the series and to be displayed in a myriad of ways. The statues can pivot independently on their bases and rotate their heads to customize and direct the action. Collect all the other statue sets in the series! Mix and match them to create your own showdown or combine them all in one ultimate battle scene. These hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statues measure approximately:

Green Lantern: 7.35” high x 4.5” wide x 5.25” deep.
Sinestro: 8” high x 4.5” wide x 5” deep.

$175 MSRP, on sale in March 2011.

Seems that DC Direct will be focusing the Heroes of DC bust line on Blackest Night in 2011. I have no clue if this means they’ll be releasing ONLY Blackest Night busts or those in addition to the normal releases. The first one up is the best known Green Lantern, the big man himself, Hal Jordan. I’m rather liking his look so far! Image and specs under the cut.

BASED ON THE ART OF IVAN REIS – SCULPTED BY JEAN ST. JEAN

The Blackest Night continues in mini-bust form!

Each month in 2011, DC Direct releases a mini-bust featuring a character from the hugely popular DC Comics’ epic BLACKEST NIGHT. Green Lantern Hal Jordan leads the HEROES OF THE DC UNIVERSE: BLACKEST NIGHT bust line! The sculpture features Hal Jordan atop a special base that displays the spectrum of Lantern symbols. The bust is hand-painted, cold-cast in porcelain, measures approximately 6.25” high x 3” wide x 4” deep and is packaged in a 4-color box.

Limited Edition. On Sale January 26, 2011. $70 MSRP.
