Love this new figure, from the great WWII/Cold War Elseworlds series JSA: The Liberty Files:  I don't entirely understand why they made Flash from that particular Elseworlds, I would rather have seen Sandman, or Nite Owl, or Hourman...nearly anyone else! I also love Blue Beetle in his Kingdom Come threads, I was really praying that they would make this figure! I have a nice little Kingdom Come collection so far, with Green Lantern, Red Robin and Kid Flash currently en route from the US, I'll definately be picking up the souped up Ted Kord..

I thought the Beetle looked great as well. ,... Since Ted's now dead in the books as of last yr, & Kingdom Come is in some kinda continuity with the DC universe. I don't think thats Ted in the beetle suit. He may be the new one, or the next one. Not sure.

The Bats is interesting but not something i would be picking up for my collection,very decent sculpt though.Could be turned into some other interesting characters hmmmmmm. The Blue Beetle will definitely be joining my KC expanded ranks.And yet another character from that book that i don't have to sculpt,HOORAY!I was dreading making him lol. Oh,and for the record since i'm the totally obsessed KC nut around here  ,that IS Ted Kord as BB in Kingdom Come.It is an Elseworlds story as we know and was written long before DC killed him off in the current continuity. |

True,... but in the new Justice League book, Roy Harper, Speedy/Arsinel whatever, has a suit very similar to Green Arrows now, just like in Kingdom Come, & has a "R" on his belt. Could be leading up to him being called Red Arrow. I don't think KingDome Come is completely written outta continuty. Perhaps Ted will make a comeback .  |

Yep, its Ted alright...
But I tend to think of Kingdom Come as a complete Elseworlds tale, rather than any sort of continuity, even if it does seem to be the way things are headed. Which is the way I see DKR as well.
I love the Kingdom Come figures, I recieved my Green Lantern today (I love that update/reimagining of Alan Scott!) along with Red Robin and Kid Flash this afternoon.
Wonder if theyd make any others?
I'd pick up Bat-Steel for sure. Was considering making him in JLU animated style.

I'd pick up Bat-Steel for sure. You mean one like this?  The KC line is my ultimate fave as the long-time Members here all know.I'm slowly expanding the ranks myself ,to add to all the DCD figs but it's getting there.I've been so into this over the years that i've pretty much got the whole story memorised,sad isn't it? I agree although there are many possibilities of it being a continuity i do tend to look at it as a separate tale rather than try to keep up with DCs chops and changes.Alan Scott regaining the GL Mantle is a good example. And you're right Jase,Red Arrow is indeed Speedy/Arsenal. |

Thats awesome  I think I saw it earlier when I stumbled onto your Lex and Ibn customs and started using the search function to find more of your stuff. Do you have a website? What I really want is Superman, Shazam and Batman. Which I'm obviously gona have to pay the big bucks for... Shazam in particular is amazing in my opinion, how arrogant and smug and generally like an easily hateable bastard can an action figure be? |

Thanks Chris i currently don't have a Website but there's one in the works,probably won't be ready until next year as i want to re-photograph everything i've done so far[that i still have anyways]. Here's a group shot of some of my KC figs so far:  I have about 8 more characters half-finished at the moment and another 20 something bases ready to be started.It's gonna be a long haul! |
