Man I hate the New 52. Good riddance to this line if THAT'S the direction it would be headed in!

Elongated Man is a definite GET.

Ventriloquist & Scarface maybe.

Gold is a NO and that Kid Flash doesn't even get consideration.  I would have loved a Wally West Kid Flash, but not this travesty.

>>>Do you guys know the history of the Elongated Man? Running out of
Golden Age DC characters to reinvent, editorial decided to create an
imitation Plastic Man, and thus Ralph Dibney was invented.

Only later did someone point out that DC actually owned the rights to
Plastic Man.<<<


Interesting. Never knew that.

Well. . .   apparently DC, when they changed Wally's original costume!

Wally West's second Kid Flash costume and Hal Jordan's Silver Age costume
(with or without Neal Adams' addition on the shoulders) remain two of the
best costume designs ever.

Those "epaulets" predate Neal by about 40 issues!

Did they?

Wow! Didn't realize! All these years I've thought they were a Neal Adams
change!

Thanks, JB!

There they are! Geez...I've always associated them with Neal Adams.

Picked up the Cliff Steele Robotman figure today (hadn't planned to, I just loves my robots). Downside: Since this is a figure of the earlier Robotman, the accompanying magazine features art from all the Grant Morrison whoohah and NONE of JB's.
