Next, it’s DC’s anime-inspired Ame-Comi line, where they revealed Poison Ivy, the sexy-award-winning Donna Troy, Hawkgirl and Zatanna.
Oh, don’t worry ladies; I haven’t forgotten you. The latest figure in DC’s 1:6-scale deluxe collector’s line is a re-issue of the Green Lantern, in a new Lantern Corps. outfit and with three bonus heads to turn him into a figure of fellow Lanterns Abin Sur, NautKeLoi and parrot-fish-hybrid Tomar Re.
What? You ladies aren’t attracted to parrot-fish-men? Don’t blame me, blame the American comics industry.
