Martian Manhunter is also number 18 next week in France, but I have no idea which figurines will be following. I still don't know when we will get Darkseid, the figurine seems to be already out there according to some french sites, but "officially" the only Special which is out now is Batman on rooftops...

I just can't get into liking that Starfire. I keep seeing teeny, tiny little head (and no, I'm not just getting lost in the contrast with the big hair) and this large body.

In contrast to some above I nearly only interested in the 'Teen Titans' figures.

That Starfire is a bit too beefy IMHO; I really prefer the Perez version.

THE DC SUPERHERO FIGURINE COLLECTOR MAGAZINE: DARKSEID SPECIAL
The
origins of Darkseid's rise to power are lost to time, but as long as
Apokalips has burned, Darkseid has been the iron fist ruling over its
inhabitants! First appearing in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #134,
Darkseid was the creation of legendary comic book icon Jack Kirby as
part of The Fourth World series of comic books published by DC Comics
in the early 1970s. An ultra-powerful being of pure malevolence,
Darkseid's goal is to eliminate all free will from the universe and
reshape it into his own image. To this end, he seeks to unravel the
mysterious Anti-Life Equation, which will bring the entire universe
under his thrall. Among the most powerful of the New Gods, possessing
physical strength, stamina, and durability said to rival even
Superman's, and wielding the devastating Omega Effect, Darkseid is
unrivaled as one of the most devious and destructive villains in the DC
Universe. Packed with detailed history, background, and exclusive
images and interviews, this special edition of DC Superhero Figurine
Collection Magazine features a hand-painted, sculpted, lead Darkseid
figurine and a double-sided poster. (Eaglemoss Publications Ltd) (C:
1-1-3) NOTE: Available only in the United States, Canada, and U.S.
Territories.

So they are going to be out of sequence, like the Marvel figures were at first.
Ah, well! At leat I won't have to wait as long as I feared for "new" ones!

An expensive first month, if these are all coming out together. At least I'm not getting Creeper or Spectre.

No affection towards the characters here, I'm afraid.
