    Okay those ARE pretty cool but why are they all sculpted with that chest out, shoulders back, led by their crotch pose? Is it a “New God” thing? Its like they are all strutting around saying “You’ll never defeat me and my Bulge of Doom!”

    Hey – if you’ve new god it, why not flaunt it. ;)

    Back in the prehistoric era, Super Powers Darkseid was my favorite action figure. With his glowing red eyes, he won innumerable victories over the pathetic GI Joes and Transformers who tried to stand in his way. But man, this Darkseid looks much cooler. Love that Kirby sculpt!

    You’ll never defeat me and my Bulge of Doom!

    No, that’s the Steel figure. (Someone was going to say it….)

    The expression on Lightray is just about perfect.

    Man those look amazing!

    To be a kid and have these toys to play with…

    *moment of silence*

    Yeah–I’ll be buying those.

    I was trying to go there without actually going there. Glad to see someone picked up on it :)

    I’d be more excited if I didn’t already own 2 Darkseid’s, a Mr. Miracle and an Orion already. Ah well, I’ll buy Lightray.

    Those are pretty sweet, too bad they’ll all be dead soon.
