The Black Lantern Reverse Flash is a must have for me. Especially since we have yet to get a proper Professor Zoom or Zoom in the DC Direct lines. Well except for that artist-specific, out of scale one coming up in the Classified Series. It’s a shame that I only own five Reverse Flashes. And none of them were made in the traditional sculpt. Two are from JLU(Justice Lords large and small figures), One is a Toyfare Exclusive from the 90s JLA Line, and the other two are from Infinite Heroes and DC Direct’s short lived Pocket Heroes line. I’m actually surprised we’ve yet to see a Zoom in the Minimates line either. I’m crossing my fingers that this Flash Relaunch leads to a DC Direct Flash Series similar to what they’ve been doing with Green Lantern. And then when the movie hits. Wow. I think we are in for a great next few years as far as collecting goes.
I really don’t know what these Blammoids are or what the point of them is but I will definitely be picking up both the Flash and Zoom. I have a feeling it’s going to be a slow month for Flash collectibles anyway. Unless DC Direct or Mattel kicks it up with a *crosses fingers* Flash line or Flash-heavy DCUC release.
I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of the last three heroclix I need from the recent release. Expect a full write up when they get here.
Why do they call him Black Lantern Black Flash? That annoyed me as a Zoomaholic.
I’m tempted to pick him up as well but since I am getting both BL Hawkman and Hawkgirl I think I may have enough Black Lanterns at this point.

Has there ever been a John Fox/Flash figure released? I wasn’t a fan of his original costume back in 1990 but when Mark Waid had him standing in for Wally briefly I liked that costume quite a bit. That would make one sharp looking action figure.
I think I’ve seen some Dark Flash/Walter West figures when I’ve done google image searches. Do you have any of those?

They have never released a Dark Flash or John Fox action figure. The closest we got to John was a Heroclix in his DC 1,000,000 Costume. We’ve seen hide nor hair of Walter though. Both would be great figures.

What is the worst looking collectible in any line of toys? That’s right Blammoids! I don’t know who came up with these but they really need to stop!
