Quoth JB:

"I have told before of the trouble I had designing the Master. I had a pretty clear image in my mind, but every time I tried to get it on paper, it came out looking like Brother Blood, from TEEN TITANS. Struggle, struggle, struggle, and finally the form seen above was coaxed out of my pencil.Years later, I mentioned this to George Perez, and he laughed. Seemed Brother Blood had been his conscious attempt to design a "John Byrne character". Perhaps he succeeded too well!!"

Thought I'd post some interesting customs that someone did of some DCU speedsters.  Johnny Quick, Flash (Barry Allen), Impulse and Kid Flash (Wally).  They look pretty amazing.  I was really impressed that Impulse was made using Supergirl as a base figure!

Impulse is excellent!  And Guardian's oversized leg muscles work perfectly for Flash.

I picked up Superman anyway today, if I can find a Darkseid I may not be able to stop myself.

The Spectre is way too muscular for my tastes. Also, I didn't really like it up close. And it's a pitty, he is a very important character in many favorite series, like Kingdom Come or JB's Action Comics runs.
What do the rest of you think? Should I cave or not? Did JB buy this statue?


Edit: Hey, 3000 posts!!!!!!

I like a ton of these figurines, just now being released in the States, but I don't know where to put them!  Anyone following the same thread about the Marvel figurines knows that I've got a pretty good sized collection of those and they are straining the bounds of my display area.  One good thing about buying a new house is that I'll have more room.  A bigger Mattcave is welcomed.  I've considered buying a nice sized display case to house these guys, but I don't want it to a) take up too much room, b) be something I have to nail to a wall.  Anyone have a suggestion for a floor standing display case with glass doors that won't break my budget?

You might look for corner mount display cases, Matt. They tend to have a
less intrusive "footprint".

So are these being sold in the US now?  Marvel also?  I never look at previews.  How much are they? Thanks.

Marvel figurines have been available here in the States for several years.  DC figurines have only just become available.  Marvel figurines retail for $12.99 unless it's a "special edition" (Galactus, a Sentinel, Abomination, etc.) and those prices vary.
