Booster Gold
Booster Gold is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Dan Jurgens and first appeared in Booster Gold #1 in 1986. Booster Gold’s real name is Michael Jon Carter, a former college football star from the 25th century who travels back in time to the 20th century with advanced technology stolen from a museum in his own time. Using his knowledge of future events, Booster becomes a superhero for fame and profit, using his gadgets and knowledge to help save the day.
Booster Gold is known for his flashy, gold and blue costume, as well as his brash and self-centered personality. Despite his flaws, Booster eventually becomes a respected hero and a member of the Justice League. Throughout his history, Booster Gold has appeared in various comic book series, animated TV shows, and video games. He is often portrayed as a comedic and charming character, with a knack for getting into trouble but always managing to come out on top in the end.
Booster Gold looks so great with his buddy and fellow Super Hero Blue Beetle! And how wonderful will they both look piloting the Bug Ship!
The colors on his outfit look so incredibly bright! I think McFarlane did an amazing job!

Green Lantern (Guy Gardner)
Next up we Green Lantern Guy Gardner comic edition. We got a sneak peek of this version of the man in green at the Pheonix Fan Fusion event. Pictured to the right is what the figure looks like. Dressed in his classic green vest with the upturned collars, and Green Lantern logo on his chest, he looks like he stepped right out of the comic book!
Guy Gardner is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He first appeared in Green Lantern #59 in 1968. Guy Gardner is known for his strong-willed personality, short temper, and confrontational attitude.
He was initially chosen as the backup Green Lantern for Hal Jordan, but eventually became a full-fledged Green Lantern when Jordan was unavailable. Guy is a former member of the Justice League and has also been a member of the Green Lantern Corps and the Red Lantern Corps.
Guy Gardner is one of the most powerful Green Lanterns, and he possesses a power ring that grants him a variety of abilities, including flight, energy constructs, and energy projection. Despite his brash and abrasive personality, Guy has proven himself to be a loyal and dependable hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
In addition to his abilities as a Green Lantern, Guy Gardner is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and has trained in various forms of martial arts. He has faced numerous enemies and challenges throughout his career as a superhero, but he always manages to overcome them with his determination and willpower.
Here you can see Green Lantern Guy Gardner front and back. They did a great job with his head sculpt. I really like the details in his vest and belt, all those rivets and the strap look great!

Product Description: Hot-headed, unruly, and prone to breaking the rules, Guy Gardner isn’t always the most likable hero but he’s proven time and again to be a worthy Green Lantern.

Black Manta (Comic Version)
This version of Black Manta is similar to the one recently released from the latest Aquaman movie, the Lost Kingdom and resembles the comic version of Black Manta rather than the cartoon Super Friends version of him we got in his previous release. This looks to be a repaint of the first version in a black suit with a silver neck piece and red eyes. The first version of Black Manta in his Super Powers colors has been very hard to find, and fetches a pretty penny on the aftermarket. If you are looking for that version, you can try your luck on eBay.
According to the product description for the 6″ Multiverse Lost Kingdom version ” Considered one of Aquaman’s™ greatest enemies, Black Manta™ has a singular hatred for the King of Atlantis. For decades, Manta’s true name and motives were shrouded in mystery, hidden behind his menacing oversize helmet. In modern times, however, his true motivations have been revealed. No matter the era, Black Manta has always inflicted a special kind of pain upon his archenemy, cementing his reputation as one of the most ruthless and driven criminals in DC history.”

Product Description: Aquaman’s greatest enemy is the scourge of the seven seas, David Hyde, whose heart is as cold as the ocean depths he hunts.

Metamorpho
Metamorpho was created by Bob Haney and Ramona Fradon, first appearing in The Brave and the Bold 57, December 1964 – January 1965. After one more solo appearance in The Brave and the Bold 58, Metamorpho’s own title lasted a mere seventeen issues, ending in March – April 1968. Ramona Fradon was the artist for the two tryout issues and Metamorpho 1–4, creating a unique look for this “freak” superhero. Metamorpho possessed the ability to change his body into any chemical element. Some writers set the limit at any element contained in the human body, and others allowed him to change in to simple compounds as well. The colors on Metamorpho look great and they compliment the card colors very nicely! You can also see the cross sell of the figures on the back of the card.
Metamorpho Official Images
Product Description: Metamorpho is able to transform his body into any combination of the chemical elements, and can shape those elements into virtually any form he can conceive.
Metamorpho has an orange, puple, and sky blue color scheme and the paint apps remind of the Two-Bad character from the Masters of the Universe.
From the right side, you can see the orange color scheme and from the left, the purple chest/arm and sky blue leg.
Superman (Fleischer)
Superman Fleischer is only available in the case pack thru Entertainment Earth HERE
Superman Fleischer edition comes from the original 1940’s Superman Cartoon series that was illustrated by the late great Max and Dave Fleischer brothers.

Batman (The Dark Knight Returns)
Batman (The Dark Knight Returns) figure is another cool repaint of the Hush Batman buck from Wave 1 with the large chest that fits this version of Batman well. This version of Batman is only available in the case pack thru Entertainment Earth HERE
“Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” is a four-issue comic book miniseries written and drawn by Frank Miller, originally published by DC Comics in 1986. The story is set in a dystopian future where an older Bruce Wayne comes out of retirement to once again don the mantle of Batman. The series is known for its gritty and dark portrayal of the character, as well as its exploration of themes such as aging, violence, and the nature of heroism.
The story follows Bruce Wayne as he deals with the return of his old foes such as the Joker and Two-Face, as well as a new generation of criminals and superheroes. The series also features a reimagined version of Superman as a government stooge, leading to an epic showdown between the two iconic characters.
“Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” is considered a classic in the Batman mythology and has been highly influential on subsequent Batman stories in both comics and other media. It has been adapted into animated films, video games, and served as inspiration for elements of Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy.
I really like the illustration of Batman on his card back and the Batman logo that was used. It looks very classic and quintessential Dark Knight!
Here we can see Batman, the Dark Knight Returns in hand from front and his side.
